ELABORATE CEREMONIES

[By Charles P. Stewart. London
correspondent the United Press.
LONDON, June 22.-George and
Mary III were crowned today king
and queen of "the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland and of the
British dominions beyond the seas,
To the orthodoxly-minded the cere-
mony was an awe-inspiring display of
the pomp of militarism, of ecclesias-
tlcal solemnity and of medieval mag
n1ficence. To the cynic 1t was an all
most pathetically childish exhibition
OF delight in tinsel and spangles. The
radical saw In 1t positively wicked
waste of millions, in country where
fully one-third Of the population is on
the brink of pauperization and one
twentieth is literally starving.
The average Briton is strictly ortho-
dox, however Before dawn the peo-
pie began swarming by hundreds of
thousands Tito the streets through
which the royal procession was to
pass, between Buckingham Palace and
Westminster Abby The foot and
mounted police who shepherded them
seemed numberless. Lining the thor
oughfares or marching in the process
sion were nearly 100000 soldiers un-
der command of Field Marshal Wis
count Kitchener. To some extent the
tremendous military display was, in
deed, necessitated by the shortness of
the route and the consequent conges-
ton of the crowd to an extent which,
orderly as Londoners usually are.
would have rendered the ordinary
thin red line" powerless to control
1t.
Immediately the Abbey doors were
opened, hours before the actual cere-
mony, those privileged persons pos
sessing tickets of admission began
taking their seats, and as the ancient
edifice filed, the eye was dazzled by
the sparkling of the women's Jewels
and the brilliance of the uniforms
worn by the men.

People Of All
Lands.
INSPIRING SIGHT
Thousands Of Men, Horses, Coaches,
Bands and Flags In the
Procession Along the
Streets.

.[By Charles p. Stewart, London Cor
respondent of the United Press.]
LONDON, June 22.-An accurate es-
climate Of the number of people who
witnessed King George coronation pro.
.cession Is impossible, but probably
well over 100000 spectators were
packed along the route Of the royal
progress
The magnificent professional road
known as the Mall, stretching from
buckingham Palace to the new Ad-
miralty Arch, alone contained throng
that defied enumeration, and the great
expanse of Trafalgar Square was black
with the thousands who had braved
weary hours of waiting in order to
miss nothing of the spectacle.
The people came In all classes, ma
tionalities and creeds and enormous
numbers Of them had taken up posi-
tions before dawn. Traffic, of course,
was stopped until late afternoon The
earliest arrivals put in an appearance
before midnight, provided with camp
stools, packages Of sandwiches and
other refreshments. and the majority
Of these made for the immediate vi
cinity Of Buckingham Palace. Here
they had nothing more interesting to
watch than the periodical changing OF
the sentries and the royal standard
tapping above the roof
Big details of police were on duty
all night and prevented the hourly In
creasing throng from enroaching upon
the royal domain. Later in the morn.
Ing, when the troops began to arrive,
the patient thousands were gently but
firmly shepherded into the positions
they would be allowed to occupy, or
pushed back into the Mall and Consti
tuition Hill.
Dawn was greeted by the roar of
guns from Hyde Park, where B. B.
battery Of the Royal Horse Artillery
had planted its head pieces, countless
bugles shrilled from the temporary
camps pitched in the various parks in
or near the metropolitan area, and
the great military machine that was to
play so important a part In the days
doings was set In motion.

His MaIesty,a Appearance.


Now patch of scarlet, a cluster OF
nodding white plumes and the gleam
OF halberts announced the approach
of the kings personal bodyguard.
Following these twSsnty gentlemen-at-
arms, there swept majestically across
the blue carpet the bishop of London
carrying the crimson bound Bible, the
bishop of Winchester upholding the
chalice and the bishop of Ely with the
patina
Then the king himself.
His majesty wore no ordinary uni
form, on this, his coronation day. His
monarch's robes of cloth of gold,
crossed by the ribbon and collar OF
the Garter, set off the beauty of the
royal mantle which last did duty on
the shoulders of the fourth George.
On his head he wore the crimson cap
OF maintenance and his long purple
robe trailed away behind him, support
ed by eight youthful noblemen, the
sons of the highest peers in England.
"Vivat Rex Georgius! Vtvat Rex
Georgius! Vivat! vivat. vivat!y
shrilled the Westminster school boys
as the king walked to the second
chair of recognition"
With the star actors arrival very
little attention was paid to the rear
guard Of the procession, though many
notable personages followed behind
their sovereign. The Earl Of Granard
was among them and so was the Duke
of Buccleugh In the extraordinary old
world uniform of captain-general Of;
the Royal Archer Guard of Scotland.
So, too, were all the great soldiers
and sailors of the realm, including the
somber and even bored looking Lord
Kitchener.
Trailing after came the officers OF
the household, Hindoo orderlies and
the bodyguards OF the gentlemen-at-
arms and the Ieomen of the Guard
1t was past noon when the arch
bishop of Canterbury began the actual
ceremony.
First on the program was the
recognition" or presentation of the
king to the people. His majesty and
the queen having knelt for a moment
in silent prayer, George advanced to
the center Of the dais, while his wife
reseated herself in the CHAIR of recog-
milton. Then, followed by the arch
bishop Of Canterbury, Lord Chancel-
lor, Lord Loreburn, Lord Great Cham
berlain, Earl Darlington, Lord High
Constable of England the Duke of Fife.
Earl Marshal the Duke of Norfolk and
Garter King-of-Arms Sir Alfred Scott
Gatty, the monarch faced successfully
to the east, south, west and north OF
the "theater," and at each corner the
archbishop cried loudly: "Sirs,
here present to you King George, the
undoubted king of the realm. Where
fore all you who are come this day 70
do homage, are you willing to do the
same?''
AS the words rang through the
great edifce they were answered by
mighty shouts of God save King

king bowed to the corner at which he
had been acclaimed. The ceremony
ended with fanfare from the silver
trumpets.
