He seemed to sit rather far back In the carriage, and moved his body very little. His curious crimson robes and cap doubtlees gave him this unusual appearance. The Queen, beside him, was radiant. She never looked better. The cheers which greeted the pair were loud and unmistakably genuine, and very different from the perfunctory applause which usually greets the appearance of members of the royal family. ^ ^ ^ The three processions to the abbey were carried out according to program and the only striking features of the first two were the gorgeous state carriages and the beautiful trappings and horses. Picked Thslr Favorites. ^ The crowd paid but tittle attention to the occupants of the vehicles. In the last carriage of the first procession sat Prince Henry of Prussia, on the back seat, but he was so occupied with talking to the Duke of Sparta that be seemed not to notice the crowd. The Prince of Wales also seemed very Indifferent and stolid, but the Princess of Wales bowed and smiled constantly. It was not until the King’s procession came that there was any show of enthusiasm. Lord Kitchener. Admiral Seymour and General Oaselee. as they rode together, of course came In for much attention, but they ail seemed to look straight ahead and pay little attention to the people along the route. Lord Kitchener, in the resplendent full dress uniform of a general, also looked unfamiliar and many persons did not recognize him. The Indian* were undoubtedly the moat plctureaque feature of the procession, while the state coach of the King. drawn,by the fat Hanoverian hors«s which figured in all of the late Queen Victoria’s processions, eesmed much more like fairyland than usual. Climax at the Abbey. The progress of the royal procession Was marked by no special Incident, with Ihe exception of an accident to Lord Edward Pelham Clinton, one of the grooms In waiting. It was a continued triumph, and reached Us climax at the abbey, where there was a scene of unparalleled enthusiasm, which did toot cease until their majesties disappeared In the annex. The accident to Lord Pelham Clinton created considerable excitement In the Mall. The groom In waiting, In a closed carriage, was passing the York carriage, when his conveyancs collided with another royal carriage going at a high speed. The horses fell, and ther* appeared to be a bad mlx-up. Th# police extricated the teams with some difficulty, and Lord Pelham Clinton, who was only slightly hurt, proceeded.

Then there was another wale "What has become of the KJngT’ waa asked by people who were shut off from sight of the nave. The Queen waited patiently, the organ ceased and then resumed; there was another fanfare of trumpets and chorus of “vlrata,'' and King Edward appeared and walked to his chair to front of the throne, bowing to the Queen as be passed, and then knelt down in prayer.

RECOGNITION IS READ BY THE ARCHBISHOP

DOORS OPEN AT THE ABBEY; USHERS BUSY Peert and Pterettet Arrive in Their Ermine Robes. Th# doors of Westminster abbey were scarcely opened and the gold sticks and ushers had barely found their stations when the house began to fill. Peers and peeresses swept up the nave, their scarlet and ermine making vivid contrasts with the deep blue of the carpet. A» they arrived before tho thrones they separated, the peers going to the right and the peeresses to the left. Even when practically empty, the abbey presented an interesting, picturesque effect, the oddest feature of which conalsted In every seat being practically covered by a large, white official program, In the center of which was placed a small, deep red book of service. Without the tapestries or light furnishing of the tiers upon tiers of seats which rose fifty feet high, the combination of white and red urograms by Itself produced a gala effect. The preliminary •ulogies of the decorative arrangements were not overstated. The entire scheme had been carried out harmoniously, and «ven the stands did not seem out of place. A peculiarly beautiful effect was presented by the King’s and Queen’s box©*, comprising half a doat'u rows of chair* In white satin, relieved only by the crimson of the seats. Beyond the structural decorations for the seating of the Bi>octau>r* there was Itttle attempt at any ilUptay, and the old gray arches lent their stately perspective to the scene, untouched by flags or any gleam of color. Display of Gold Plate. The various chairs to be used by the King and Queen In the service attracted epeclal attention, bdt what Inevitably caught the ey« was the glittering array of gold plate, brought from various royal depositories, ranged along the chancel and behind the altar. Amidst these surroundings the earl marshal, the Uuk* of Norfolk, resplendent In white knee breeches and heavily embroidered coat, hurried to and fro, directing the final touches. By TO o'clock the Interior of the abbey presented a blase of color. Along the stave, which was lined by grenadiers, every character was taken up by high officers of the army and navy, and others In equally handsome equipment. On top of the arch separating the nave from the chancel sat the surpllced orchestra. In stalls wtthtn, with the other ambassadors, were the I'nlted States ambassador, Joseph H. Choate, and Mrs. Choate, and many officials. American Artist Watched. During the long wait Edwin A. Abbey, the American artist, who was comraUgiuned to paint the coronation seen© in the abbey, and who wore court uniform, took careful note of the surroundings for the historical picture ordered by the King. The peeresses took advantage of the long Interval to stroll up and down, but the peers eat stolidly awaiting tho arrival of the sovereign, their ermine caps presenting a solid mass of white. After w o’clock the organ and band played, while the spectator*, msnv of whom shewed signs of sleepiness, chatted or swept with their glass*# what portions of the abbey they could aee from their •eats. ^ " KING AND QUEEN ARRIVE; BOYS OF ABBEY CRY OUT

Their Majeeties Intel and Offer Up a Prayer. The ceremonies at Westminster Abbey began with the reconsecration of the regalia. The procession clergy, with the clerical, then proceeded from the altar to the annex, all present standing, and the choir singing. “Oh God, Opr Help in Ages Past.’* Preceding the regalia came the boys of Westminster Abbey, followed by the children of the chapel royal and the choir In royal uniforms. The Duke of Connaught took his place betide the Prince of Waist In the abbey as the procession entered, bowing as he the prince. The Arehbtebop of Canterbury took his to front of the coronation chair and Mae Earl of HaKbury. the lord high chan-

His Voice Trembled at He Presented the Undoubted King of the Realm. After removing his somewhat unbecoming cep, his majesty. King Edward, stood up and the Archbishop of Canterbury, In a trembling voice, read the recognition beginning: "Sir—I here present unto you King Edward. the undoubted King of thte realm. Then there was a hoars# about and the blending of the choir and the people, women and men. In the cry: “God save King Edward. * Several times this was repeated and the abbey rang with loud fanfare#. Again the King and Que«n knelt and the Archbishop of Canterbury walked to the altar and began the communion. While the gospel was being read the King stood erect, supported on each aide by th# bishop#. In their l>r*vlly-#titorol<lered capes. During the singing of the creed all the members of the royal fatally turned eastward. Both King Edward and Queen Alexandra followed the services carefully, frequently looking at the copies of the aenrice which they held In their hands. Taking th# Oath. The administration of the oath followed. Standing before the King's chair the archbishop said: “Sir, Is your majesty willing to take the oath?” The King anvwered. in firm, strong tones, "I am willing,” hts reply being easily heard high up In the triform near the roof. The Inkstand was brought, and the King signed the oath. He did not advance to the altar, but sat in the chair be had occupied since the service began. While the choir sang “Come, Holy Ghost. Our Souls Inspire,” the King remained seated, and the Queen stood up. After the archbishop’s anointing prayer a gold canopy was brought over the King’s chair, and his majesty divested himself of his outer robe and then walked to the ancient chair, while the choir sang Zadock’s anthem. The anointing ceremony was scarcely seen, owing to the canopy. The spectator* were Just able to discern the archbishop of Canterbury's motions.

PLACING OF THE CROWN; ARCHBISHOP NERVOUS

Lights Were Turned On and Everybody Cheered. After the prayer the King donned the eoloblurn slndonis, then resumed his seat, and from a scarlet silken roll, on which the prayers were printed In large type, and which was held by the de&n of Westminster, the Archbishop of Canterbury read the prayers and delivered the aword to tho King, who did not go to the altar, the aword being taken to him by the dean of Westminster while hts majesty remained standing. The armlla and the orb were then delivered to the King. When the King held out Ms hand for the ring, the archbishop of Canterbury had difficulty in finding It, but finally, with trembling hands, he placed It on the tip of hts majesty's finger, reading the prayer simultaneously, the King himself completing the process of pulling on the ring aa he withdrew his hand. Later, th« archbishop had similar difficulty, owing to near-sightedness, in placing the crown on the King’s head. In fact, tho choir started "God. Save the King" while the Archbishop of Canterbury was still striving to place the crown on the ruler's head. A great sb°tn went up and the electric lights were turned

on.

Joy Bells Ring Out.

As the acclamation died away th# clanging Joy bells, tho noise of guns and tho shouting of people outside jjenetrated into the abbey, where tho King stilt sat, motumliw, his dost ling crown on his head and hts coaster held firmly In Ids hand. After singing "Be Strong and Play the Man,” and the Bible having been presented the King advanced and knelt while he received the benediction. He then walked to the great throne, where he stood on the dlas for the first time,

surrounded by nobles.

The Archbishop of Canterbury followed, the King being obliged to stand while awaiting the arrival of the archbishop. Having placed the King Into his new throne, the archbishop knelt and paid homage, tho aged prelate scarcely being able to rise until the King himself raised the archbishop’s hands from the steps of the throne. The archbishop, who seemed to be in a faint, had practically to be carried to the altar. The Incident created considerable excitement and several prelates rushed forward to help the primate

Prince of Wale# Next.

The next person to pay homage to his majesty was the Prince of Wales, who knelt until King Edward held out his hands, which he kissed, after touching the crown as a sign of fealty. The Prince of Wales then started to return to hts seat when the King drew him hack and put

around him and kissed him.

King and Queen Appear on Balcony and Smile on Crowds. The departure of the King and Queen from the abbey was signaled by another salute, the massed bands playing "God Save the King.” The entire route of their majesties' return to the palace was marked by scenes of enthusiasm similar to those which greeted their progress to the abbey, the more circuitous route through club land an Constitution Hill, giving the hundreds of thousands of persons occupying the stands, windows and roofs an opportunity of greeting the new crowned King and his consort before they reentered Buckingham palace, which they did in the midst of remarkable scenes of enthusiasm, the entire crowd from Constitution Hill downward joining tn singing the national anthem.

Shortly after the return of the King and Queen to the palace it was officially announced from there that the King had borne the ceremony well, and that they had suffered In no way from fatigue, and this was confirmed by the presence of the King himself, when.

It was. perhaps, after all, the Americans who made the bravest show, and on this occasion, as on many others, they played a very prominent part In the day’s ceremonies, and contributed by their beauty and the magnificence of their robes and Jewels to what was truly a gorgeous spectacle.

Nothing to Equal It Ever Seen Before

in England.

What most struck the eye in the abbey was the marvelous display of Jewels that certainly surpassed anything previously seen at a court function In England. The combination of these with the magnificent robes and the beauty of many of the wearers made a memorable sight. As beautiful as any coronet there was a pearl and diamond tiara worn by Lady Londonderry, whose dress was heavily embroidered and covered with pearl* and diamonds. She also wore a diamond stomacher, with bracelets and ear-rings
