The people gathered to honor her memory rather than to mourn her loss. All business eeased, even the drinking houses closing their doors duriug the day. The newspapers suspended publication, and life in London, lik< the rest of the empire, turned from in customary channels and was foeuset upon three miles of Wast End streets through which the coffin containiu; tile tmdv nf Vlptnrin ihkj.hI To an American, the ceremonies with all i he theatrical trappings o royalty,wciv not more impressive thai the funeral of a chief magistrate ehos en by the people. But the sight o the Kiug. riding after the cotliii of hi: mother and queen, with four othe kings and half a hundred of the high est royalties of European dynastic followiug and the hereditary quain attaches of court, was one never to b forgotten. The decorations everywhere wer? Impressive, but not elaborate. Purpl draneries. hung with green wreath* predominated. Kings were on r.tos of the buildings. The hospitals eared for 1.100 person who were injured in the crowd. O this number, however, only six.y wet seriously inirt. Tito multitudes wet remarkably orderly. The rtrst portion of Victoria's jot. ney from Osborne to tlie* tomb w; accomplished on Friday amid seen which will lie memorable through mo thr.n one reign of her successors, was "queen's weather" to the ve last. Although it lacked the spectaeu grandeur of the naval display, t ceremony of taking the body of V toria from Osborne House to the rev yacht Alberta was of almost equal i terest.

Kings a princes, u queen and princesses walk humbly between black lines of ntout lug islanders, escorting the coffin the dead sovereign. Thousands of men. women and el flren were gathered all along the rot The road was liued with jtoles, w shields of black and silver, bear the royal monogram or surroun with tings. Every stand, window i roof whence the procession could viewed was filled with humanity When the khaki colored gun carri came in sight, even the tiniest perched In the tree top knew that tl jewel! and that rich coronation r hid the form of the woman who more than sixty years had gover the great empire. Behind the coffin came the K with the Emperor of Germany and Duke of Connaught on bis right left. .JTiic two monarch* and Duk . 3 iff )RT FO = Connaught walked slowly and mourn- 1 fully, a aad looking group In spite of i the brilliancy of their uniforms. Be- ' hind them appeared the royal Princes, ? three abreast, and'then the most truly pathetic sight of the day came In view. 1 It was a simple band in black, for all the world like the sisters of some religious order, mourning humbly for one [ of their order who had passed away. None was distinguishable, from the others. All wore plain black dresses ' with long crepe veils and walked three t>y three with downcast heads. Yet the first was the Queen of Eug i.iim. and wun nor was the woman who. if she lives will also hold the proud title, and behind them walked the Princesses to whom every knee In England, however noble, is bowed in courtesy. In striking contrast with the black robed women, followed behind the beads of the royal households. In gorgeous uniforms, and bringing up the rear, most humble but sincere mourners. came the royal tenants and servants. ' -it**"' When the procession arrived * at Trinity pier the coffin was borne to the chapel on the after deck of the Alberta. King Edward, his sisters and daughters, went on board the Victoria and Albert. The other members of the royal family boarded the yacht Osborne, which was followed in the naval line bv the Qenuan imperial yacht Ilohenxollern. i Half a million people, who lined the shores of the Solent, then witnessed a notable and impressive sight. It "was the transit of the funeral yueht across* 1 the waters between walls of steel. Battleship after battleship thundered it-s grief, baud after band wailed its dirge and erew after crew bowed low their heads ns the yacht swept past.

The catafalque claimed popular at. a tension, both because of its sombre meaning and the glitter of the royal jewels. The coffin was a pathetically small oblong block concealed beneath a rich pall of white satin, on the corners of which gleamed the royal arms. Across the pall the royal standard was draped and a large crown of j s gold, incrusted with jewels, rested at i f the head of the coffin.
