London. Eng, June 23.-The historic
articles used IN the coronation of kins
! George V. on yesterday form a most
interesting chapter of lie eventful oc-
casicu
The reealia. properly so called.
brought iuto use at the coronation,
comprise ST. Edwards crown, the
scepter the virgo, or lod of pow ct,
the orb CT mound of sovereignty; the
sword OF mercy or cur tana. the two
swords o. justice, temporal and spirit
ual; the ling of allian~e with the king
iom, tie armillae, or bracelets; the
spurs Of ohivalry and the sacred and
royal vestlnents
The ancient regalIa were destroyed
by the republicans in 154i by order Of
parliament. but were replaced by arti-
cles OF a similar kind made for the
coronation of Charles II in 1862
These, together with the crown Jewels.
are kept in the Tower of London
Edwards Crown.
st. Edwards crown is the official
crown of England with which the
monarch is usually crowned. although
Edward VII. made an exception, as on
that occasion it was merely carried il
the procession. George V. will be
clowned with it( afterwards changing
he will leave the abbey.
The original st. Edwa rd's crown
was destroyed by the republicans in
i649. and a replica was made of It in
1862 by Sir Robert Viner for the coro-
nation of Charles II.
IT is a very rich crown Of gold, en-
bellished with pearls and precious
stones OF many kinds, comprising dia-
monds, rubiss, emeralds and sapphires.
r.. = II =
with fillet Of gold, and ornamented
of gold garnished with Jewels and
three large pearls. one of which is
fixed on the top and the other two
hanging from the ends Of the cross.
Around the base are four crosses and
four fleurs de lys Of gold. all orna-
mented with jewels. Four circular
arches rise from the tops Of the
crosses. all meeting beneath the
mound of gold and forming a pedestal
The cap within the crown is of GRIM
son velvet lined with white taffetas
and turned up at the edges with err
nina.
The Scepters.
Scepters. which take a prominent
place n the coronation ceremony, are
more ancient than crowns as en1blems
of sovereign dignity.
The royal scepter, or kings scepter
with the cross. is borne by the mon
arch in his right hand. 1t is made of
gold and is two feet nine inches in
length the upper part of it being
wreathed in two bands, of gems and
enamel while the foot widens out into
a boss profusely ornamented and
adorned with precious stones. The
great amethyst orb rests OF the top on
pieces of gold work resembling an
arched crown and the cross on 1t is
richly set with diamonds.
The virge, called the scepter with the
dove, was held in the kings left hand
during the ceremony of investiture.
This is quite plain. except at the knLb
and l.omr1el and in the center. where
it IS jeweled. The distinction be-
tween lhe royal scepter and the virgo
is tia; the former has a cross at the
top. lille the latter has dove. The
virgo is of gold, three feet seven inch

Coronation Chair.
King Edwards chair, on which all
monarchs Of England sit when they
are crowned. has a very long history.
It is generally known as ST. Edwards
chair. as mark of respect TO Edward
the Confessor. near whose shrine in
Westminster Abbey it usually stands.
1t was made by order of Edwhrd L.
to hold the coronation stone. or stone
of destiny. on which the Scottish mon
archs used to sit when they were
crowned. Edward I. seized this stone
when he had practically subdued Scot
land and sent 1t to Westminster in
1895. At each coronation ceremony.
with the single exception of that of
Mary l.. who was crowned in chair
sent to her by the pope. it is brought
ont of st. Edwards chapel and placed
before the altar, in the eastern part of
the abbey.
When oliver Cromwell was installed
in the office Of protector it was taken
into Westminster hall. which forms
portion of the parliament buildings
opposite the abbey, and this was the
only occasion on which it has ever
feen takep out of the abbey. The
chair is made Of solid oak, its various
parts being pinned together and. al
effects Of age and mutilation. it re-
mains almost as firm as ever IL was.
Some Of the original gilt and orna-
mentation may yet be seen. but at each
coronation it receives a fresh cover
ing of cloth of gold. It's dimensions are:
height. 6 feet 9 inches; width at the
bottom, feet inches: breadth from
front to back at the bottom. 2 feet;
width OF the seat feet inches;
l foot inches: height Of the seat from
the ground. feet 3 IL inches; height
OF the elbows. 1 foot 2 inches.
Stone of Destiny.
Although the chair itself Is of con-
siderable antiquity, 1t is in reality the
stone of destiny contained within its
frame, that gives it its prime import
ance This ancient stone. which rests
under the seat of the chair on a middle
frame supported by four crouching
lions, was placed in the abbey Of
Scone, in the Scottish county Of Perth.
