been moving toward the royal route

the numerous stands were filled, gates

choir to the theater and after kneeling
in prayer, seated themselves in the
chairs Of state.
The first action OF the coronation
service, the presentation Of the king
to the people for recognition, Is 2 sur
vival of ancient Teutonic usage. Ac-
companied by the great officers of
state, the archbishop OF Canterbury
went TO each side Of the theater In
turn, saying: "Sirs, ! here present
into you King George, the undoubted
king OF this realm; wherefore, all you
who are come this day to do your
homage, are you willing TO do the
same?" The king meanwhile stood
up by his chair and turned to each
side. and the people acclaimed him
with cries of God save King George"
4, Then followed the iitany, the com.
munion service and a short sermon
preached by the archbishop of York,
after which the oath was administer
ed to the king by the archbishop OF
Canterbury.
The Amounting and Coronation.
King George nov was Invested OF
his crimson robes by the lord great
chamberlain and seated himself in
the chair of King Edward l.. which

tiny" The dean Of Westminster
brought from the altar the golden
ampulla and spoon, and the arch
bishop anointed him on the head. the
breasts and the palms of both hands,
and blessed him. The king was next
invested with the colobium sindonis
of fine linen and the supertunica OF
cloth of gold, his heels we're touched
with the golden spurs and the sword
of state was girded upon him. after
which the armill and robe royal OF

cloth OF gold were put upon him. In
turn, then, his majesty was given the
orb, the kings ring, the glove and the
two scepters.
All was ready now for the supreme
act. The archbishop placed st. Ed
wards crown upon the altar and de-
livered a short prayer, and then, sup
ported by the other clergy, placed the
crown upon the kings head. At that
instant the trumpets sounded, the
congregation shouted Long live King
George and the peers and kings OF
arms put on their coronets.
The differentiation was a handsome
part of the ceremonies. The king
was lifted up into his throne by the
archbishops. the bishops and certain
9Hers. and all the great officers and
nose who bore the swords, the scep-
tiers and other regalia grouped them
selves about the steps Of the throne.
Next the princes and peers did their
homage, led by the archbishop of
Canterbury and the prince Of Wales.
Each of these and the premier duke,
marquis, earl, viscount and baron
kissed the king upon the check.
The amounting and browning OF
Queen Mary was a short and simple
ceremony. Following the example Of
Queen Alexandra, she was anointed
on the head only. She was invested
with the ring, was crowned by the
archbishop of York and received the
scepter and the ivory rod with the
dove.

saw the arrival Of the gentlemen an
pointed to act as ushers during the
ceremony. These were led by the
earl marshal, the duke of Norfolk.
Then the nobility entitled to seats in
the Abbey began to come. Most of the
peers and peeresses rode in state
coaches that have been used by their
families for many years. These car

drawn by four horses apiece. Each
was accompanied by outriders and
footmen in gorgeous iiyeries stood on
the rail behind. Each peer as he
passed was greeted with cheers and
often with familiar greetings that set
the crowds Off in roars of laughter. for
even the solemnity of the occasion
could not restrain the irreverent hui
humor of the cockneys.
Not all the nobility rode in coaches,
however. for the king had permitted
m violation Of precedent and given
permission for the use Of automobiles
by those who have discarded horses.
This was done reluctantly, and there
were not many motors cars in the long
procession OF vehicles.
The lord mayor and his suite, In
their gorgeous robes and regalia, were
the next to pass toward the Abbey.
King and Queen Appear.
Now the bells Of many churches
pealed out, and the people knew the
king and queen were coming. From
the moment their majesties emerged
from Buckingham palace there was a
continuous oar of cheers that accom-
panied them all the way to the Abbey.
Their approach was heralded by the
kings bargemaster and twelve water
men, wearing quaint medieval %tunics,
knee breeches and stockings, all scar
let, with the crown and badges en-
blazoned in gold on their breasts, and
wearing low buckled shoes and black
velvet caps. Immediately behind them
came the closed carriages of the royal
party, every one drawn by splendid
horses gorgeously caparisoned.
Through the windows of the great
numbering state coach the people could
get a glimpse of the king and queen.
Following their majcsties rode the
household troops and especially picked
military bodies. Field Marshal Wis
count Kitchener was at the head of
the headquarters staff. as he was at
the coronation Of King Edward. In
this part Of the procession, too, rode
many Indian princes and maharajahs
and potentates OF England's widely
scattered dominions. Their splendid
robes glittered with jewels and they
added much to the magnificence of the
parade. But the mar who, next to
the king, received the loudest and
warmest applause was Lord Roberts.
for the people love "Bobs" and their
greetings almost made the
grizzled hero OF a hundred campaigns
blush.

New York, Nov. 9.-The drivers
strike in the street cleaning depart
ment began to make itself felt today
when ashes and garbage accumulated
in several hundred thousand house
holds. Although the drivers quit work
only last night, facilities for taking
care of refuse in the average private
house and apartment are SO limited
that if the strike continues for twenty.
four hours it will cause inconvenience
and longer than that may develop
into a serious menace to health. Only
few OF the $500 carts operated by
the department went out this morn
ing. The drivers struck because they
did not like the new method Of re
moving refuse at night. The men
were called out after Mayor GaynoI
had told the street cleaning commits
sioner to notify them that the CITY
was not in the position Of private
employer and that they could strike
as soon as they saw fit. The strike
is organized by the Internationa
Brotherhood Of Transfers.
