London, June 23.-King George and
Queen Mary today showed themselves
to the masses as distinct from the
more favored classes who were able
to obtain access to the circumscribed
area of yesterdays pageant.
Today's procession was on an even
grander scale than that of the corona
ton. The route was more extended,
including a circuit of some of the most
populous districts of the capital, the
crowds that looked on were CORE
spondingly greater and their majesties
were accompanied by larger escort.
The scenes along the route were, to
a great extent, repetition of those
yesterday, with much greater crowd
of spectators.
The procession began to form in
the yard of Buckingham palace and
the adjacent streets at o'clock and

Between lines of cheering thousands
the royal party made stately progress
from Buckingham palace by the way
of Constitution hall, Piccadilly, Trafal-
gar square, through the city, over Lon.
don bridge by Borough road and
Westminster bridge, thus making a
complete circle.
The pageant included four full
squads of cavalry, representing all
branches of that arm of the service,

Seats for many thousands had been
erected along this long route and the
greeting to the king and queen was
indeed a royal one. They received 9
great welcome from the visitors in
the hotels, from the stands of Picca

Strand; from the business men Of
London proper, who had brought theil
