Lommin, June 22. The jubilee demon
titration was a stuiK-ndous success. Vant
uiultitude8,numIjeriiigovera milium jieo
ple, w itnessed tLe greatest staie jiageant
" England's history. With the perfec
tion of order not a single accide.it occur
red to mar the harmony of the great dem
onstration. The scene pre.-nted by long
line, of streets, with drajied buildings,
endless floral vistas, innumerable flags,
banners and trophies blended into mass
es of decorations and an ever-noviug, im
measurable sea of faces, has bt en one of
dazzling brilliancy and marvelous anima
tion. The impression left it the minds
of those that saw the pageant is that
whatever boundless wealth, military
jxmip and illustrious rauk could do to
create and heightsn the effect of the
State's show of loyalty to demonstrate
the affection of the people for their sov
ereign was done for to-day's demonstra
tion, and the result surpass I any thin? of
the kind ever seen in Europe in modern
times, at least.
A day of glorious sunshine, an atmos
phere of rare purity for these latitudes,
and a sly of clearest blue favored the
spectacle. People who camped out all
night, or who had risen early in the mor
ning in order to secj'e places on the line
of uutich passed the time ples-santlyjevt ry
moment from dawn downward prese-it-ing
some new transformation. Sunrise
saw the Mads toward the route of the
prix-essien covered with crowds. By 8
o'clock massed myriads along the route
be(3ime so compact tout it was impossi
ble to move.
At 10 p. in. beacon fire were lighted
simultaneously on all the principal peaks
from Cornwall to the remotest part of
Caithness, forming a connected chain of
signals over the w hole country. In Lon
don this evening all the thoroughfares
from Hyde Park to the Bank of England
are so crowded with spectators that they
are almost impassable. It is estimated
that half a milliou sightseers were added
to the masses of the populace of the me
tropolis, making the largest crowds ever
seen in Ixindoii, yet under full self-control,
and the night' passed so quietly that
there was no need for the police to main
tain order.
2 A. M. At this hour the traffic of all
w heeled vehicles has been resumed. Im
mense crowds were gathered everywhere
throughout the nigh', dispersing slowly,
to lie sure, but in the best of good humor.
The illuminations were of the most gor
geous description. A light cooling breeze
prevailed throughout the evening. The
finest display in the nature of illumina
tion was given in the square fronting on
the Royal Exchange, which, together
with the Mansion House, was covered
with lieautiful and novel designs of col
ored oil lamps. The whole front of the
bank was in graceful festoons of gaslights.
This, perhaps, was the grandest sight in
London, although there were many note
worthy spectacles, particularly that which
Bond street presented, with iu lines of
Venitian masts, testoons of flowers for the
whole length on each side of the street,
while at intervals of a few yards from
strings of buntings stretched across t ie
street from window to window depeDd
lighted Chinese lanterns.
There were enchanting devices in oil
and gas at almost every house, and occa
sional triumphal arches presented, per-
Somerset
SOMERSET,
haps, the best effect of the decoration and
illumination. One house in Pall Mall
gave added charm to the dazzling picture
changing theeffect by placing candelabra,
each lmaring a score of candles, in every
window. Trafalgar Hqnare presented r
((rand sight.
Victoria street wan marked by it pic
turesque effect in oil and gas. All the
insurance companies made magnificent
displays, although somewhat isolated.
The decorations and illumination of the
Iliiixtnticd -Yt whs of the prettiest char
acter, being a combination of brilliant
bunting, natural flowers and illuminated
devices greatly heightened itt effect by
throwing upon the whole from an eleva
te 1 station a powerful electric, light.
Though the cniwds wereenormons, there
was little or no horse play. There were,
of course, a few rushes by medical stu
dents and such like performances. Up to
the present hour, however, hardly any
accidents worthy of record are reported
by the police.
In every town in the kingdom the day
was appropriately observed. In cathe
dral cities thanksgiving semces were
held and municipal banquets given, vol
unteers were reviewed, local society's pa
raded and meetings were held at w hich
addresses of congratulation to the queen
were adopted, the day closing with gen
eral illuminations.
In garrison towns royal salutes were
fired. There was a sjiecial parade of
troops at Edinbnrg, where the decora
tions and illuminations were beautiful.
At Glasgow 50IXJ0 poor children were
given a holiday fete, being taken toIMh
say in 14 steamers. Most of the towns
celebrated the jubilee Saturd ty, to-day
being devoted to fetes to the children and
tlie isjor.
LuM'ON, Jane 2i. The first day of the
fiity-first year of the rei-ju of (Jueen Vic
toria over Great Britain opened with per
fect summer weather in London. A love
lier day could not have Is-en desired for
the celebration of her majesty's jubilee.
The sun sh.'ne bright, the air was clear
and not ery warm, and a gentle breeze
blew steadily. The crowds scattered over
the city are unprecedented in numbers
and size. Thousatnls of people who yes
terday selected locations along the route
of to-day's procession, in order to retain
tliem occupied them all night, and many
used Ciinipn'ools or improvised r.wts to
enable them to withstmd the long and
tiresome occupation. A steady stream of
carriages and pedestrians poured con
stantly all night until dawn through the
city from nil directions through the city
toward the West End. At 5 o'clock this
morning every pointof vantage along the i
streets comss.iii;j the royal procession
route was secured.
At 9 o'clock the line of route was on
each side a compact irassof people. Eve
r3'txsly,' despite the discomfort of the)
crowding, manifested the utui03tgooi
humor. The scene at Westminster Als
hey was most brilliant. Every seat was
filled, and every person present was a
distinguished person. When the iden
tities were enumerated it seamed as if
everyjloeality the world,over had sentone
or more of its representative personages
to do honor to England's q.'een on Bri
tain's greatest holiday. There never,
probably, in modern times, assembled
under one roof an audience so well and
so brilliantly arrayed. Eveey man pres
ent entitled to wear a uniform or decora
tion had both on, new, or burnished
up.
When the aud'ence was all seated the
scene presenttd was Iiieonipavble. When
the sun shone brightly tlutiugh the no
ble stained windows of the Abbey its
rays fed uKn an unaccusto.ued sight,
and the picture was indescribable. The
audience, banked up as it was in church,
was anything but somber. For awhile
when all were seated there was quiet but
this was only terajKirary and lasted only
long enough to enable the eople to lo
cate one another. Then thete was the
life of recognition and of gossip, and it
graduated rapidly into a noisy hum. This
was startling to a ssrson who entered
suddenly, Considering the place and w ho
were buried there, but the stranger was
soon fascinated, and himself added to
what had seemed to him as being dese
cration. Busy and interested as were the i
pie making this irreverent congregation,
some isirsonagcB entered the abbey strong
enough to compel general attention and
recognition. When the Marquis of Salis
bury, the queen's prime minister, enter
ed and proceeded to the place set apart
for him, he was cheered. When Mr.
Gladstone was observed quietly edging
his way to his seat, he was also greeted
with cheers.
Such was the eagerness of those who
had assured places in the audience at
Westminster to be ou hand that scores
of lords and ladies repaired to the edifice
at unnecessarily early hours, and, as
many of them were admitted, without
having partaken of any breakfast, it was
a strange sight to see flasks and sand
wiches exchanged iu such a crowd and
eagerly used by numberless aristocrats
unable to longer withstand hunger or
thirst. This business when added to the
hum, at times seemed irreverent even on
jubilee day, in Wesminster.
The line of the procession from Buck
ingham Palace to Westminster Abbey
was as follow s : From the Palace portals
along Constitution Hill, Piccadilly, Re
gent street, Waterloo Place, Pall Mall,
East Cockspur street, Northumberland
avenue, Thames embankment, Bridge
street to Ablapy. The line of route was
kept clear by nearly 10,0K) troops, repre
senting all branches of the service, and
in addition k)0 boys from naval training
ships were drawn up at the base of the
Nelson Monument. In addition to the
military, many thousands of police, both
mounted and on foot, were on duty under
the immediate command of Sir Charles
Warren.
TTe military force was under com
mand of Gen. Gipis and Col. Stirling, of
the Coldstream Guards. The particular
feature of Buckingham Palace was that
the two services were equally, honored,
the Guards lining one side of the road- ;
way at Buckingham Palace gates, and on
the other aide the blue jackets were post
ed. The same services were also repre
sented in a like manner at the entrance
to Westminster Abbey.
TUB MINOR PAGEANT.
The first part of the royal procession
started shortly after 10 o'clock, and was
composed of the Indian princess and mi
nor German princess. They were enthu

- '...-,
This jiart was also well received by
the people. These two processions help
ed keep the way to the Abbey open, and
exercised the pent-up enthusiasm of the
vast multitude along the way await
ing impatiently to see and cheer the
queen. . :
PHE ROYAL PROCESSIOV. , .
Punctually at 11:15 a. h. the queen, in
an open carriage, emerged from the pal
ace gates. At sight of her thousands of
voices were lifted up in cheers, the ap
plause Iseing accompanied by the musi
of the many military bands stationed in
front f the palace. When the palace
gates were thrown open the immense
throng that had waited outside many
hours to see the royal cortege extended
far away int.. the Mall beyond even see
ing distance of the procession. ; .
B Leading in the journey to tlie Abbey
were the Life Gu-inls. Then followed
the aids-de-camp and the royal equerries.
Alter these rode the staff of the Duke of
Cambridge. The queen's ladies-in-wait
ing and a number of state officials were
next, occupying five carriages. A body
of Life Guards rode behind these carria

The eight horses that drew her majes
ty's carriage were cream colored and per
fect matches. The queeu rodei facingthe
horses and sat alone. The Princess of
Wales and Princess Victoria, thf ..que u's
oldest child, and wife of the crown prince
of Germany, occupied the other seat in
the carriage and sat opposite her utajes- j
tv.
HER MAJESTY 8 FAMILY HOIlY-tifA W.
The princes who rode as escort to the
carriage went in the following order,
three abreast : The Grand Duke Sergina
of Russia, Prince Albert Victor of Walt
and Prince William of Purssia, and the
Hereditary Grand Duke of Heirs; the
Hereditary Prince of Snxe-Meiningen
Prince Christian Victor of Schlesweig
Holstein, and Irince Ijuis of Batten-
burgh, Prince Christian of Schlesweig-
Holstein, the Crown Prince of Germany
and the Grand Duke of Hesse. Two
abreast Prince Henry of Battenberg
and the Marquis of Lrone ; the I Hike of
Connaught and the Prince of Wales. The
Duke of Edinburg rode alone.
This escort, composed as it was entire
ly of the sous, sons-in-law and grand
sons of the queen, all brilliantly uniform
ed and riding magnificent horse;, ele
gantly caparisoned, presented a splendid
spectacle and inspired enthniasm every'
where.
All along the route as the carriage
liearing the queen came in sight the
cheering started up afresh, and when she
had proceeded a short distance , the
cheering had become a mighty roar,
which seemed steadily to increase in vol
ume and eventually to be continuous and
mighty. The enthusiasm of the people
appeared absolutely lsoundless.
The queen was manifestly delighted
Her face wore a constant smile, she
bowed and thanked the people, and
whenever on the way she recognized any
person she fairly beamed with joy. Over
her Mark coslume the queen wore a
white lace gown. Her bonnet was of
white netting or lace, with an in wrought
coronet of diamonds. The Duke of Cam
bridge, Commander-in-Chief, rode close
to the queen along the journey both
ways. The procession wat dosed up by
parties of Life Guards and Indian troops.
TPg KoYAL PROt.KESrt.
When the people at the palace gate
had shouted themselves hoarse cheering
for the queen, they continued to cry out
" Long live the Prim and Princess of
Wales." The queen', as she left the
palace, seemed to be in an excellent hu
mor, and she bowed and smiled graeions
ly to the jieople on every , side. Tlie
queen's carriage was a large one of choc
olate color, wheels red and the royal arms
of gold emblazoned on the panels. Red
morocco harness was used for the horses,
which were otherwise decorated .with
royal blue ribbons. AU the servants
wore state liveries of gold. The other
carriages containing members of the roy
al family were of a gorgeous character,
horsed with four buys each and all open.
The procession proceeded at a smart
walking pace to Constitution Hill and
then adopted a more deliberate gait.
Owing to the lateness of the spring the
beautiful green of the avenue trees, tne
sweet odors of the hawthorns and the
splendid uniforms of the military, coup
led with the enthuiasm of the crowd,
made the occasion one of refreshing en
chantment. .
The procession slowly made its way
until the Wellington arch was reached
and the first introduction to the London
streets ensued. Emerging from the Well
ington arch, the first to greet the queen
were the convalescent patients and others
at St George's Hospital, which was pack
ed from basement to roof, seats having
been erected for many thousands over
the roof of the hospital. ' ." .
cHEErs or THE CROWDS.
When the procession passed along Pic
cadilly and turned down Waterloo Place
in Tiafalgar Square, the cheers of the vast
crowds then in sight of the queen, and '

covering the pavements, stands, windows,
roofs and everything in sight capable of
holding a human being above street level
over the whole area of one of the largest
vistas in town, were so long, loud and
overpowering as to be absolutely exciting.
The queen was thrilled. It was while
tiussing through this vast multitude that
the extreme popularity of the arrange
ment of the queen's personal escort was
made most manifest. The sons, the sons-in-law
and the grandsons were all cheer
ed by the people. Irince Frederick
William, the German crown prince, in
his white uniform was easily recognized
by the populace, and he was applauded
by Englishmen as he never has yet been
m his own country, liis manner was
affable and pleased the hearts of the
crowd, and he bowed again and again in
acknowledgement of the warmth of his
reception. ,
In Trafalgar Square there was congre
gated a most exiiaordinary masa of hu
man beings. It packed the streets sur
face of tii(- large squat e and itj overflow
crowded Xurthumbeland avenue clear to
the Thames Embankment, Itesidescover-
ing every sloop, step, post, dorway, win
dow, roof coimncy, tree, pole and other
projection and eminence within sight of
Nelson's column. . . '
TH WOMEN 8 hOUUAY ATT.Re.
The gaily bedecked leased windows
and stands held thousands above the or
dinary crowds. In the rented and less
crowded points of vantage the splendid
holiday attire of the women, specially ar
ranged f .r the occasion, showed off to
great advantage and lent pleasant elfect
to the scene.
The Thames Eiiiliankiiient was jam
med all the way from Dharing Cross to
Wetniiiiister. Here the crush was terri
ble and it was here that the policemen
and soldiers fainted at their work of
maintaining order.
Looking back at the day's pageant it
still pa-sseg ordinary comprehension how
the uiil'tftiy aud police managed to keep
a way a'ong the I'mbankment open for
the progress. Ambulances were busy here,
more persons being cmshed and disabled
along this part of the route than any oth
er. He'-e as everywhere the enthusiasm
provoked by the queen's presence was
overwhelming.
THIS tn-UH ft STREET SPECTACLE. j
On reachieg Piccadilly the queen was
seen to look up at Aps'ep Houre, and as
she passed the mansioi of her iai'mate
friends she glanced somewnat hastily at
their abodes, more especially when pass
ing the Duke of Chambridge's, Baron
Rothschild's, Biironess Burdette-Coutts',
and John Bright's old apartments. It was
not until De'vontbire Houise was reached
that the qnetn began to realiw the grand
preparation? that had been made togt
her. Here ' the Marquis of Ilartington
had a spacious gallery erected, frr-m
which man hundreds 'of gaily-dressed
Indies waived their handkerchiefs and
cheered the queen.
Facing Ieonshire House, at the B.ith
Hotel, anot h -r gigantic booth had been
erected and from this pornt to West
minister Abbey every point of vantage
had been sei7Hl by contrai-tors to fix seats.
Sfliop fronts and first floors were rented
at from C20 to (i0 eitch and in somecases
even more.
Tho front of the Burlington Arcade,
the Royal Academy, the Egyptjtin Hall,
St. James Parish, Church (where 1,000
children were seated and sang " God
Save the Queen ") and the Museum of
Geology were all packed with human
beings. On reaching Regent Circus, where
six main streets converge, the sight was
a memorable one, the streets being all
splendidly decorated with flowers, flags,
evergreens, etc.
A SEA OF PEOPLE.'
Many of the imposing commercial
buildings along the way were one mass of
heads. Many of the shops herealiouU
had their fronts removed and elegant
boudoirs formed in their places. Tlie pro
cession as viewed from the duke of York's
column, passing down the hill from the
Circus to Pall Malleast, wasa remarkable
sight. The shouts of the people were
heard from the top of the column as one
vast mar.
Many American ladies and gentlemen
had secured seats at a palatial commercial
establishment in Waterloo Place, and
joined in the pnthn4a-tn as the English,
passing around Pail Mall east a large gal
lery wa erect eJ over the colonnade of,
Her Majesty's Theater, While 1,500 chairs
rented at from 2 to .1 and 5 guineas each
were oil filled at Waterloo House, in
Cock spur si reefs.
Trafalgar Square was now reached, and
everywhere one looked nothing but
heads were to be seen. The crowd here
was tremendous, and completely eclipsed
any that has assembled at tho greatest
political gatherings of recent years. The
stejifl and lions of the Nelson column
were crowded with people, while the roof
and steps of the National gallery were
packed with a dense mob. '
HOTELS PACKED WITH MUHTSEERS.
After crossing Trafalgar Square, where
the police had great difficulty in keeping
the people back, the processions gradually
approached Northumberland avenue,
which on its southwest side is mainly
covered with two gigantic hotels, viz.,
the Hotel Victoria and the Hotel Metro-
pole. These, as well as the newly erec
ted Constitutional Club building, were
crowded with sightseers. On reaching
the Thames embankment the procession
had to make a detour almost at right
angles. From -the National Liberal Club
to St. Stephen's the enthusiasm was in
describable. Men climbed up the trees
in such numbers as to badly injure many
of them. All along the Thames embank
ment, where not occupied by public
gardens, seats and galleries had been
erected.
On turning into Bridge street around
St. Stephen's Club her majesty obtained
a full view of the Abbey and the prepara
tions which had been made in Parlia
ment Square. The ground floor of the
Abbey was concealed by the lofty grand
stand called " St Margarets,'' the seats of
which were soi l for 5 guineas each.
Another stack of seats called The Can
ning Stand" accommodated 1,400 jler
sons. All around the square, and even
across the river at St. Thomas Hospital,
windows were crowded with people.
AT WESTMINISTER- .
At the central door of Westminister
Abbey the ladies and officers of the
queen's household awaited the arrival of
the royal party. As its members de
in e r ci
gcended from their carriages the ladies
and officers advanced to meet the queen.
The officiating clergy ' were assembled
in the nave of the Abbey.
When the queen appeared at the foot
of tlie steps the clergymen formed a pro
cession, headed by the minor cannons
and the cannons residentiary. Then came
the bishop of London, the archbishops of
Canterbury and York and the dean of
Westminister. The heralds and the mem
bers of the royal household followed, pre
ceding the royal princes and relatives of
her majesty, who walked thiee abreast,
the two lines nearest the queen being
composed of the Prince of Wales and the
Dukes of Connaught and Edinburg and
Prince Christian, Crown Prince Frederick
William and Grand Duke of Hewe. The
queen then tame. She was immediately
followed by. the master oftbe horse and
tlie mistress of the robes, the princesses
coming next in pairs iu the following
order: The Crown Princess of Germany
and the Frincess of Wales; Princess
Christian and Princes Louise ftbe Mar-
elnoncss of Lome); Princess Beatrice and
the Duchess of Edinburg ; Princess Wil
liam of Prussia and and the Princess of
Saxe:Mciniiig..rt; the Duchess of Con
naught and the Duchess of Albany ;
Princess Louise of Wales and Princess
Elizabeth nf Russia; P-'ncess Maud of
Wales, and Victoria of Prussia ; P incess
Louise of Baltmburgaud Princess Sophia
of Prussia; Princess In-ne of Hesse and
Princess Victoria of Schlesweig-Holstein.
Prince Alfred of Edinburg and the o-
menofthebed chamber and ladies-in-
waiting and others closed the procession,
with the caiyiains of the coips c,f Gentle
men-at-arms and the yeoman of me
Geard, whose corps was posted at differ
ent points in the ANoe".
As the procession" filed up the aisle Dr.
Bridge played the 'aarch by Handel
while the royal family slowly took the;r
seats, the queen occupying the corona
tiou chair, over the back of which dip
ped the regal robes of State, which the
queen prefent'y assumed wiih the assist
ance of the misti-ess of the ro'ies.
A Jf H..;iK-C UN'1" S-. ENE.
The Abbey was now a bii.ze of mag-
nifience. On the right of trie royal dais
the lord chancellor, :n bis magnifiicnt
robes or slate aud flowing ig, a mass ot
velvet and en nine, was seatexi. Behinu
him sat 500 peers oftbe realm and their
peeresses, attfeii in costumes or rich
velvet and snmptuoossilks. Beh;nd these
the lord lieutenants, heavy w ilh their
robes and insign'.t of otfu and the di
plomats who- bosoms were cove.ed
with decorations. On tlie left, and facin?
the lord chancellor, was tne speaker of
the house of commons, also wearing his j
rolies of office, with the golden mace be
fore bim. Behind him were the mem
bers of the house of commons a'.d their
wives, all richly jirrayed for the occasion.
So, en the other side of her, the queen's
eyes would fall upon two br'Miantnuunes,
splendid in colors and dazzling with
jewels.
The galleries which reach up to the
lofty apse were crowded with a black
mass of clergy meu. Down the nave the
eye was greeted with bright array af mil
itary and naval uniforms. Conspicuous
amongst even all this brilliance, were the
daz.ling orent.il costumes of the Indian
rajahs sparkling with precious stones.
The rays of the sun, streaming through
the coloied windows, gave a rich and
varied glow to an actnbl.ige which in it
self was as picturesque as the world has
ever witnessed. The long spaces between
the Abl?y pillars glowed with the irri
descence of many rainbows. The scenes
were of more than regal splendor, and
mast have reminded the queen of the
lavish display of grandeur which signal
ized her coronation. Court otiicials who
have seen both say to-day's spectacle far
exceeded that of the coronation in mag
nificence. SOME OF THE NOTABLES PRESENT.
Amongst the notables that could' be
seen from the press gallery w ere Premier
Salisbury, wearing the order of the garter,
Lord Cranbrook, Lord Alcester, Lord
Ashbourne, Sir William Vernon Har
court, Mr. Gladstone, in court uhiform,
with Mrs. Gladstone, James Russell Low
ell and Mr. Blaine. In the gallery over
looking the dais Queen Kapiolani and
Princess Liliokolani in rich golden robes
were reated in the sacrariuui, just under
the stream of crimson rays falling through
the windows. Amongst the royalties who
awaited the Queen's arrival were the
blind king of Saxony, who was led to a
seat in the choir near the dais, beside
whom sat the Queen of the Belgiana and
Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria.
A fanfire of silver trumpets announced
the queen's arrival. Another fanfire inti
mated that she had taken her seat in the
coronation chair. There had been heard
outside a continuous roll ot cannon, sa
lutes and pealing of bells, all mingling
with the thunderous acclamations of the
people. But a sudden hush fell every
where when the queen, seated, took the
prayer book in her hand and bowed her
head for a short interval in silent prayer,
THE SOLEM SERVICE.
The service then commenced, the can
non intoning and the choir responding.
with an appeal to Almighty God in the
queen's behalf. This was followed by the
singing of aTe IVum to a setting by the
prince consort, which was grandly effect
ive. After the Lord'B prayer, the Arch
bishop of Canterbury, stepping to the
front of the communion table, read the
three special prayers prepared for the oc
casion. During the reading of the pray
ers the foreign princes and princesses
knelt while the members of the English
royal family, following the national cus
tom, simply inclined forward.
The psalm chosen was the 20th : " The
Lord hear thee in the day of trouble."
The setting of Dr. Bridge was admirably
calculated to display the splendid quali
ties of the choir. The dean of Westmin
ster next read the lesson for the day ( 1st
Peter, chapter 2), then followed the an
them, " Blessed lie the Lord, thy God,
who hath delighted in thee, written es
pecially for the jubilee.
In the middle of the anthem was in
serted, by request of the queen, the cho
rale " Gotha," composed by Prince Albert.
The remainder of the service was con
ducted by the archbishop of Canterbury.
The final organ boIo was prolonged to en
able the congregation to join in the pray
er. Before the cessation of its strains the
ceremony was at an end.
FILIAL SALfTATIONS.
The queen, rising from the coronation
c
AV1IOLE NO. 187G.
chair, signalled to the heir apparent to
approach her. The prince of Wales im
mediately stepped to her majesty's side
and making a low obeisance, kissed her
hands. The queen ki.-wed her son on the
cheek before permitting htm to de
part. The crown prince of Germ.-tny next ap
proached and kiswed her mnj'srty's hand,
an example which was followed by eve
ry other prince on the dias. In each case
her majesty returned the salute with
a motherly kiss on the cheek or fore
head. '
The princesses on the left t the queen,
headed by the crown prince of Germany
and the princess of Wales, then went
through similar ceremony: The salu
tation of the first named lady was re
markable for its warmth unrj heartineuj,
and th more remarkab.e in the ft-t
that just as her royal hf ;hnewi was about
to retire her majesty called b er back and
kissed her a second time.
Then her majesty intirnated to the lord
chamberlain that she was ready, and the
return journey was conunenoed. the or
ganist playing the march of the priet-i
in "Athalie," as the procession, in the
same order as at the commencement of
tlie proceedings, left the MtL-n-u edifice.
The ceremony throughout was most
solemn and impreswive, and is follow
ed with the closest attention by those,
who sat around her on the dais. The In
dian prin -es, too, all of whom were fur
nished with Looks, appeared to regard
the service as one demanding strict at
tention. THE KETt'RN Jot'RKEY.
The queen left the Abliey leaning on
the arm of the lord chamberlain. The
procesnsm, which came by the liiames
Embankment, returned rVi Whitehall,
jiftswing the war, admiralty and other
state departments, which were decorated
with flags and festoons all along their
fronta. The return was made amid a
prolonged and unbroken succession of
popular acclamations, the queen respond
ing by bowing to the right aud left. The
prueession readied Buckingham Palace
shortly after 3 o'cl(a.k, and five minutes
later her majesty parsed into the palace
amidst the most tumultuous cheering,
with her escort of generals on either side.
The marquis and marchioness o.r Salis
bury, who had hurried to the palace by a
shorter way from the Abbey, were pres
ent to receive her. The queen bore her
jonrney well, and was seen wkjji after re
turning laughing and smiling at the roy
al children, who w. re upon the main bal
cony uf the p dace and kissing her bandit
to them.
Among other AL.ericans present at the
service in the Abbey w ere Judge Law ton,
United States Minister to Rusaia ; SeL t
tors Mt-Pherson and Hale, Congre.-man
Perry Belmont, ex-Governor English, of
Connecticut, Mr. GilSllan.of Minnesota,
Prof. Parker, of Dartmouth College, James
G. Blaine and Mr. Joseph Puli zer.
SOME OF TUE Ml HIKING CO-TCMES.
The queen's dress was not striking.
Across her breast she wore tha broad
Hue ribbon of the Garter. The only oth- j
er decoration she wore was that of the
order of Cobnrg-Gotha.
The most conspicuous figure in.the pro
cession was the German crown prince,
w hose magnificent physique, set off by a
snow-white uniform, shown conspicu
ously among the princely throng.
The prince of Wales, who wore the fa
miliar red uniform, seemed insignificant
in comparison.
The grand duke Serjius of Russia, who
wore a curious but picturesque cape, was,
after the German crown prin.-e, much the
most striking figure.
Upon the dias the princesses wore light
colored dresses except the duchess of Al
bany, who was attired in black. The
crown princess of Germany wore a robe,
the front of which was of gold and silver
embroidery of Turkish design, wrought
with real silver and gold thread. The
train was of pale French gray corded silk.
The front wtts gracefully tied with loops
and long ends of dark olive gnen velvet.
She wore a bonnet of the same-embroidery
as on the front of the dress, trimmed
with gray tulle and olive velvet ribbon.
Among the dresses of the peeressesthat
of the duchess of Bedford was notable
for softness and grandeur of color. It
was of royal purple velvet, trimmed w ith
antique Malines lace. The bonnet was
of the same materials as the dress. The
duchess of Manchester wore a dress of
white and gold moire worked with gold
thread and gray silk in arals-sque design.
The duchess of Roxburgh wore a train of
black broche gauze over white silk, dra
ped w ith black lace. The duchess of
Sutherland and her daughter wore rolies
of broad striped satin and moire, draped
with jetted gauze. Generally, the dress
es of the ladies-in-waiting outshone those
of the royal personages present.
A reception and banquet was given at
the palace to-night, the guests being lim
ited to memliers of the royal families and
diplomats. Mr. Phelps was present.
INCIDENTS.
By the time the royal prjeession got
stirted from Buckinghau Palace the
weather had become pretty warm and
the breeze, so refreshing all the morning,
began to subside. While the procession
was passing through Pall Mall three per
sons in that thoroughfare were sunstroke.
A nnmlier of persons along the route
were crushed into insensibility and were
removed to hospi als. Several police
men were overcome bv the heat and ta
a ken home in ambulances..
The horse ridden by the marquis of
Lome was restive while . the prtscesston
was moving along Constitution Hill, and
threw the marquis. The queen stopped
her carriage and asked the marquis if he
was injured. He assured her he was not
walked alongside the carriage a short dis
tance, and then mounted another horse
and continued his journey by a shorter
route to the Abbey having fallen behind
and relinquished his place as one of the
royal escorts to the queen's carriage. This
ledtothesupposiion that he had received
some injury, Dut it is otticiauy stated to
night that he was unhurt.
The police reports show 50 persons ad
mitted to Charing Cross Hospital during
the day. They bad been spectators of
the pageant and a majority of them had
fainted in consequence of the great crush.
One man was killed by a horse. Several
patients were also admitted to Westmin
ste Hospital suffering from prostration
caused by trie heat, crowding and excite
ment. Three are seriously ill.
Mr. Phelps, United Stttes Minister,
drove to Westminster Abbey in a landan.

THE HVeUt AND HER BCRT.
LoNraej, June 2t The queen showed
no ill-effect after the completion of her
long and arduous duties. She was in ex
cellent health. After a short rest on re
turning to the palace she reviewed the
naval brigade from Portsmouth. In the
evening she entertained 64 gnosta at a
banquet in her own room, ami mem
bers of the various royal households were
entertained at other tables, at all of
which the queen's health was drunk.
The queen will drive out to-day at 1 1 a.m.
The I'lud says ; " Congratulation ia due
both to the queen and her people. No
sovereign ever received more sincere tes
timonials of respect and affection. Nev
er has a people professed its loyalty in a
more admirable fashion."
The Art says: "The pageant was
worthy of the country and the truth d jes
not allow the soberest chronicle to say
less. The queen's welcome was perhaps
the heartiest, as it cetainly was the most
magnificent, she ever received."
