The yrocesalon. apart. from the gun- earrlaga bearing the coma. and the Rural family and official mourne'p.‘ about it, Was not noteworthy. Par- liament, the Judiciary and the com- mercial bodies were not represented. Royalty, the army and the navy mo- nopoflzed the pageant. ’I‘hrce thous- and soldJers and sailors, picked com- panies representing all branches of the serviceâ€"cavalry, artillery. in- fantry, yeomanry, militia, volunteers and colonialsâ€"â€"!ormed the advance escort. They marched slowly and without music. Most of the uni- unl‘forms were covered with dark overtoats, and the standards were draped with black. the officers wear- ingr bands of crap!) on their sleeves. The infantry marched in columns of four with rifles reverrzed. They were half an hour in passing Then came Field Marshal Earl Roberts and his Ital’f, and after them {our massed bands playing funeral marches. 'l‘hn‘e hundred musicians announced the coming of the body of the Queen. There was a. long array of court. ofi'l- clnls under the leadership of the Duke of Norfolk (the Earl Marshal), all attired quaintly nnd brilliantly, bearing maces or wands. Most of them were elderly men, who for years had served the Queen. Most of the spectators expected an Imposing catal‘nlqne, and the cof- fin was almost palst before they re- comfizcd its presence by removing their hats. It, was concealed beneath a l‘lQh pal! of White satin, an the cor- nor of which gleumod the Royal arms. Across the pull the Royal standard was draped, and a large crown of gold encrusted with jewels rested at the head of the coffin, which was at the end of the gun car- riage inst, over the gun. 0n the foot of the coffin were two smaller crowns will/h a. gold jewelled sceptre lying be- tween them. ' The eight horses which, drew the gun carriage were almost; 00ncea1ed beneath their rich harnesses. A large bow or purple attached to the coffin Was the only symbol of mourning. Immediateiy after three Royal mourners rode abreast. King Edward VII. was the central figure of the three, but no less ostentatious per- sonage was seen in the procession. A black Chapeau, with a plume of white feathers, was on his head, and it long black cloak was buttoned around him, and hung down over the big black horse which he was riding The ng's face seemed grave and cartL worn. He looked straight ahead. apâ€" parently at the gun Carriage. He gave no sign of seeing the long ranks of soldiers hedging back the popu- laoe‘ about. him, the window crowdâ€" ed with black-bonneted women, the mu‘ltitudes of uncovered heads, the purple draperies, and the green Wreaths everywhere He passed like a man alone. Beside King Edward rode Emper- or William. looking every inch ii solâ€" dier. Ho glanced right, and left as he rode and his hand frequently was raised to the red and while feathers hanging over his hat as he respond- ed to salutes. Emperor William wore a black cloak over his new British Field Marshal's uniform. and the splendid white charger beneath him ranced up and down, causing His Meaty to display fine horsemanship. On the King's left rode his brothâ€" er. the Duke of Gonnaught, a man of soldierly appearance, almost unâ€" noticed and unrecognized by the peo- p10. The really impressive exhibition of mourning was the black clothing wom by principally all the people, wtlid1 as streets, windows, stands and roofs everywhere were covered with spectators, gave the whole scene a. sombre hue. Lively Time at St. Jnmel' Park. St. James' Park was packed with a crowd of about 20,000 people, Who overâ€"ran the flower beds, stood on tho fences and swarmed in the trees. fought with policemen, smashed hats, and chafied the preg‘ranune vendors until the bells began tolling. Then the demeanor of the crowds changed, and while the procession was pass- ing their attitude was one of the most. impressive features uf the day. It was precisely 12.20 DIIL, when the guards lining the [LaLform of PaAdington station came to a sharp The funeral procession occupied two hours In passing from Victoria Sta- tion to Paddington. a. distance of three miles. The decorations everywhere were impressive, but not elaborate. Pur- pie draperies hung with green wreaths predominated.

The officers in their gay court uniforms, the Life Guards with their [lowing plumes gnllopcd through the streets. The chapel choir, the Archbishop, the bishops and other clergy met the procession at the west door. From the organ loft. midway of the nave and the chancel, came the strains of Mendelssohn’s march from “Songs Without Words," in E minor. The strains of the organ died away and the choir commenced singing softl'y the sentences of the dead. The solâ€" emn cortege proceeded up the nave, which was thronged with the highest and noblest women of England. "Lord Thou Hast Been Our Refuge," to Feltone's setting, was next sung by the choir, which had not taken its place in the transept to the right of the altar. Woman Fell Dead. One well~dressed woman fell down in the street and was picked up dead, the excitement lmVing killed her. The funeral service in St. George's Chapel was one of the most marvel- lous sights of the funeral cere- monies. It. lasted from 8.20 to 4 {1.u1.,‘but for three hours previous the leading men of Great Britain and Ireland waited patiently for the 'ar- rival of the funeral procession. Their vigil Was fully rewarded. Such an array of royalty, and such a mass of flaming colors was never before gaâ€" theer within so small a space. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of Winchester'and the Dean of Windsor ofliciated. The Bishop of Winchester read the lesson from the 15th Corinthians. “Man that is born of Woman,” was chanted by the choir to Wesley's music, followed by "Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts." The Dean of Windsor read, “I heard a. voice," and the choir sang the Lord's Prayer to the music composed especially for the dead Queen by Gounod. Once more the strains of the choir welled up through the ancient chapel with the singing of “How Blessed Are They That Died,” by Tohaikowsky. The cotfin rested upon a catafalque placed at the steps of the altar. The cross over the communion table was covered with white flowers, and the reredos behind was almost, concealed with sprays of fern dotted with lilâ€" \es. fl iservices were remarkable for their grandeur and choral beauty. The Archbishop of Canterbury read the Collect and with quavering voice pronounced the benediction. There was a. solemn pause while all heads bowed. A few sobs were heard and the choir then broke the oppressive stillness with the sweet harmony o! the “Dresden Amen.” Then the loud tones of the Norroy King of Arms, William Henry Wel- don, proclaimed the dead Monurch's title. The Spohr Anthem, "Blessed Are The Departed.” followed and the service was concluded by the playing of Beethoven's funeral march by Sir Walter Parrott, organist of St. George's Chapel. and private organâ€" ist of the late Queen.

A despatch from London says;â€" Lord Rosebery presided on Wednes- day morning at a special. meeting 0] the Royal Scottish Corporation, culL ed in London to 13353 resolutions ex- pressing wrrow at the death of Queen Vuctoria, and of congratulation on the accession of King‘ Edward VII. There was a crowded attendance. of persons in the entire world. There was scarcely an intelligent individual in the civilized world but was deeply moved. He wondered ii? her subjects yet realized how much" they had lost and, what an enormous. weight the Queen had in the councils of the world. It was not brilliancyi or genius which could supply the advantage she gave Great Britain by her fund of know- ledge, which was unequalled by any constitutional historian. It was: no dispai'agwement of either kings to say she was the chief of the European sovereigns, and her influence in the councils of nations was always used for peace. freedom, and good governn melnt. Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal (the Canadian High Commissioner) io- oonded the resolutions. A despatch from London, says :â€" Members of KingrEdward‘s suite tell their friends that His Majesty appear! overwhelmed by the sense of the responsibilities of Kingship. \Vhereas formerly he was genial, but exacting and irritable regarding official ‘mnt- ters, he has become profoundly grave. and exceedingly considerate to those about him in small as well as in impor- tant matters. He has worked many hours daily since the _Queen's death, disposing of two or three weeks‘ at- re er: of public business which she had not been able to attend to. Sheiety expects that King Edward VII, will make St. James “the most brilliant Court of Europe I<_hold night drawing-rooms. instead of the some- what dreary afternoon functions of the past quarter of a century, and pro- vide refreshments, instead of leaving the guests to eat sandwiches in their carriages under the eyes of the crowd. Those who have been presented to Queen Victoria will be. entitled to at- tend King Edward's drawing-room after submitting their names to the Lord Chamberlain. Lord Roswbery. remarking that he would pass lightly over the congratu- latory part of the pragramme, said his Majesty‘s speech at the Privy Council meeting sufficiently had in- dicated the laws by which he intend- ed his reign should be go'verned. thus promising to make his rule no less illustrious than that of his parent. Lord Rosebery then dwelt in eh» quent terms on the Life and death 01 Queen Victoria. saying that in tha whole history of mankind no death had so touched suchalarg'e numbar It is hoped the King will revive tho custom of the monarchi visiting the castles of the nobility, and also revive the holding of drawing-rooms at Holy- rood Palace. Whether he will adopt the prerogative of kissing the checks of the ladies presented, followed by the Viceroys of India and Ireland, is om of the topics of society gossip.
