THE ROYAL HEAD NOW WEAR CROWNS OF GOLD GORGEOUS CEREMONIES ATTEND BRITISH CORONATION. King George T and Queen 3ary Cen tre of Attraction for Thousands of Admirers. London, June 22.-On this day of the crowning of George V, king of the Intd K nd m o ra rti n U~nited Kingdom of Great Britain and ireland and emperor of the British dominions beyond the seas, nothing has been wanting to make the solemn ahd impressive ceremony one long to be remembered, not only throughout; country, but in every corner of the t empire. ever in history has the imperial been struck in such a magnificent! ner. Its imperial aspect undoubt y has been the most remarkable fea e of the coronation. rge V, more than any soveeeign the past represents the embodi t of the imperial idea. He, only l1 his predecessors on the throne, elled through his vast dominio"s thus acquainted himself at first hand with the needs of all the various ples of his empire. Imperial Conference. en by happy coincidence, the im-. a1 conference, sitting at the time the coronation, enabled all the rep ntatives of the king's 'over-seas' inions to participate in the cere y at the opening of the new reign, ch if the hopes of those at ..,nding e conference bear fruit, will bring. all parts of the empire into closer and more intimate relations. The remotest suburbs of the great city and every village in the land to night gave evidence of devotion and loyalty to the throne. Not the humb lest home but displayed a flag or i1 iuminated device, portraits of the king and queen and a loyal motto. The stirring events of the day were carried through without hitch or se rious accident of any kind. The weath er was less favorable than had been hoped for, but even tnat had its comn pensating advantages, as there was ipractically no need of the service of amnbulanCes for cases of fainting or exhaustion, which commonly attends such occasions in hot sunshine. The rain was not sufficient to detract from the splendor of the pageant King Edward's Crowd Larger. The attendance of the general pub lic in the streets, while large, did not approach that of King Edward's cor onation. This probably was due- to fears endangered by the unusuially severe police regulations and the bar-. ricades erected to protect the line of the procession route, which under the circumstances proved needless. Gloomy prognostications of trouble1 krising through public resentment of these precautions as an infringemlnt of British -liberty proved quite ground-' less. Everything was carried out with smoothness and in perfect order, which excited universal admiration. Perhaps never in history, certainly never in the experience of any person who witnessed it, 'has there been an~ historic scene so magnificent as the an cient Abbey presented when George V and Queen Mary were seated in state* upon their thrones. All who attended the crowning of Edward VII agreed that today's cere mony surpassed that spectacle in ev ery circumstance of stately stage, set ting of solemn ritual, inspiring music, the host of royal and eminent person ages, the wonderful display of rich uniforms, bright growns, marvellous jewels, which combined to create an' impression of awe and admiration. Most Imposing Spectacle. Their majesties, with gleaming crowns on their heads and gorgeous gobes outspread behind him, the dia-, ~monds flashing from the imperial crowns, all nobles of the throne in quaint costumes of ancient officeCs, with a few modern uniforms, the four persons attending the queen in shim mering gowns, pages in light blue and white grouped behind them, an array of church dignitaries robed in scarlet and gold, formed the centre of the pic ture. Below the king and queen was young Prince of Wales, almost smoth red in the dark blue robes of thei Order of the Garter, with the peer's crimson mantle around his shoulders idin the uniform of field marshal. Near him were other member's of the! Toyal family. Yoemen of the guard lined the aislesI zirozghout the abbey an;d in to a great boxes rising high against the v:alls and ilit.e, the transcepts and! galleries were 7,000 spectators, forming blocks of quivering, variegated color. In one group were the future rulers of most! f the kingdoms of Europe, with their ides. In another were the diplomatic norps, competing with the royalties in the splendor of their uniforms and dr~es. Two blocks facing across the nave were composed of peers and peeresses, wearing red robes and er mine capes, holding in their laps their coronets until the king was crowned. In Other Sections. Another large section was occupied by members of the house of commons with their ladies. Some of them wore uniforms, but the majority were in black court dress. Indian potentates, with gaudy turbans and great jewels, formed a striking group in still an Dther section. A red block represent-1 ed the army, a blue nne the navy, a third, a scarlet and white, indicated where the judges in robes and wigs sat, while the boys of Westmintter school, who boast themselves of an cient privilege to claim, filled still another block. Barons sat in a box close to the throne. All the ladies apart from the peer esses, were arrayed in court costumes with white feathers in their haid. Many wore tiaras. There was a treasure of precious stones never before collected in one place and costly enough to buy the ships of the Brish navy. The la dies in waiting to the que-.n hi the bbey were four duchesses, each at tired to carry into effect a colo scheme of shot gold. Princess Mary wore a short white fro k and a long royal violet train suspended. from the shoulders with gold cord tassels. Coronation Ceremony. The ceremony in the Abbey consum ed more than three hours. The state ly ritual of the "Established Church'* combined with the coronation rites, surcharged with the traditions of fad ed centuries and Sir Walter Pratt's impressive music, which continued throughout-now a soft accompani ment, then the choir intoning the ser vice, then the majestic hymn, and at the culminating points, the roll of drums, and the blast of trumpets-all went to make every movement one of interest. The Archbishop of York's sermon, had as its text: "I am among you as He that serveth." He said: "Pray we for our King, that his strong trust in God may keep him Eaithful to God's great trust in him; to be among the people in this home land, amon*g the multitudes of India, among the strong' young nations over the seas, the one man raised above private and local interests to think of all, to care for all, to unite all in fel lowship of common mercies, common ideals, common sacrifices. This is in deed a kingly life. Pray we that God may give the King His grace to live it.'' Apart from the procession and the solemnity, there was an undercurrent of huiman interest. Queen Mary, al though she bore herself with regal stateliness during her crowning, was at first noticeably nervous. When the King was being annointed and crown ed, she had her haindkerchief at her eyes. The King, when he received the homage of the heir, displayed a fath er's affection. ,Preceding Royal Procession. From the earliest hours of the morn ing the streets were lined deep with people. Both routes of the procession were filled long before the troops reached their places. The early ar rival of cavalry, acco,mpanied by ands, afforded almost as interesting a show as the procession itself, and then came royal carriages and coaches taking robed and uniformed men and daintly dressed women to the Abbey for the ceremony. The Abbey itself was 'a brilliant scene. From time .to time until the King headed the procession through the gites the church bells rang the hour. On one side of the square the Horse Guards stood beside their black chargers, flanked by marines in blue jackets. STOCKHOLDERS XEETING.
