BRITISH PEOPLE CELEBRATE CEREMONY OF BROWNING
 NEW MONARCH.
Event Carried Through Without Hitch or Serious Accident-- George V. is Crowned at
 1858 O'clock.

London. June 2z.-Ln this day oi the crowning of George v, King oi the United Kingdom of Great Brit an and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the seas, nothing has been wanting to make the sol- emn and impressive ceremony one long to be remembered, not only throughout the country but in every corner of the great empire.
 Never in the history has the inn perial note been struck in such a magnificent manner. It's imperial as- pect undoubtedly was the most re- markable feature of the coronation.
 George w., more than any sover- eign of the past, is the representa- tive embodiment Of the imperial idea. He only of all his predecessors in the throne travelled through his vast do- minions and thus acqt .nted himself at first hands with the needs and as- pirations of all the various people in his empire.
 Then by happy coincidence the imperial conference sitting at the time of the coronation enabled all the representatives of the kings of over seas dominions to participate in the significant ceremonies at the op- ening of the new reign. which if the hopes of those attending the confer ence bear fruit, will bring all parts oi the empire into closer and more in innate relations.
 The remotest suburbs of the great city and every village in the land tonight gave evidence of devotion and loyalty to the throne. The humblest home displayed fla0 or Illuminated device. partraits of the king and queen and loyal motto.
 The stirring events of the day were carried through without hitch or ser ious accident of any kind. The wealth CT was less favorable than had been hoped for but ev that ha it's com pensation. 50 there was practically no need of the services of ambulances for cause of fainting or exhaustion which are commonoly attendant upon such occasions in hot weather. On the other hand, the rain was not sufficient to letract seriously from the splendor of the page antry.
 The attendance of the general pub lie in the streets while large. did not approach that at King Edwards coro- nation. This probably was due to fears engsndered by the unusually severe police regulations and the bar ricades erected to protect the line oi the procession route under the cir cumstances therefore proved need less,
 Perhaps never in history certainly never in the experience of any per son who witnessed it, has there been as historic scene hos magnificent as the ancient abbey of Westminster las historic scene as magnificent as Mary were seated in state upon then thrones.
 All who attended the crowning oi Edward VII agreed that today's cere- lmony surpassed that spectacle in ev- | cry circumstance.
 Just above the altar. which wal loaded with massive gold plate. and to the right of the king, was the girl ish Princess Mary wearing the coro. net of a peeress, with hair hanglns down her shoulders and three youni lprinces in Scottish kilts. Near then
 were the others of the Royal family l Another large section was occupiet by members of the house of commons
 with the.r ladies. Some of them wor,
 uniforms. but the majority were il
