Already people are beginning to arrive at the college from distant points and the reception and accommodation committees are busy finding and placing alumni and old students of the college In their respective places of entertainment. Both dormitories have been turned open to the public, a reception committee operating In each one In the Interests of the old students and visitors. At different places In the buildings and about the campus, cards and postera have been placed Indicating headquarters for the different classes and for the Earlham clubs of the surrounding cities. Kxtenslve hitching facilities have been provided and It Is exiPected that many people will drive , to the college during the afternoon : and a committee of students from Bun'Jy hall will take charge of the carIriages and automobiles and place them where they will be easily accessible .'and yet not In the way of the proces- . alons and events.

Owing to the large number of Richmond people who will attend, and also the large number of men and women from nearby and distant points who will be at the college, the committees on alumni and entertainment have combined to make the occasion a time of making new acquaintances and renewing old ones.

(American News Service) London, May 11. In the famous state coacli drawn by cream-colored horses and with out-riders in scarlet livery. King George and Queen Mary wiK drive through the streets of Lon

don tomorrow to attend the formal opening of the great Festival of Empire at the Crystal Palace. Aside frira the importance of the exhibition itself the opening wiil be notable as the first of the series of elaborate functions and ceremonials that will mark the coronation season. . The colonial premiers and other representatives who have arrived in London for the Imperial Conference will be present at the opening of the Crystal Pa'.ace exhibition, as . will also the ministers of state, members of parliament, foreign diplomats and many other persons of prominence. The Festival of Empire, with its Imperial exhibition and Pageant of Empire, was originally arranged for last year, but was abandoned in consequence of the death of King Edward VII. Under the plans as re-arranged the affair is to be conducted on a scale of magnificence never before attempted in the history of London. The oversea dominions of the empire have erected large and handsome buildings to house the wealth of exhibits illustrating their resources and industrial and social development. The Canadian building alone cost $350,000. In addition to" the respective colonial pavilions there is an. AllBritish exhibition occupying the greater part of the main building of the

Crystal -Palace. In this section the industrial, commercial, and productive resources of the British Empire are fully .displayed. One of the most interesting features of the festival will be the pageant, to be held under the direct patronage of her royal Highness, Princess Louise, where historical scenes of the

empire's history will be enacted. The arrangements and production of the pageant are under the personal direction of Frank Lace lies, the famous master of pageantry who was . in charge of the memorable historical pageant held in connection with the tercentennial celebration at Quebec two years ago. No fewer than 15,000 performers

will take part in the pageant. There will be altogether twenty-four scenes, eight of which will be presented daily

in the great open-air ampitheater de

signed by Sir Aston Webb." Besides the two principal features of the festial the exhibition and the

pageant there will be innumerable other attractions, such as carnivals,

naval and military tournaments, avia

tion demonstrations, athletic contests

and theatrical and musical entertain

ments.

The festival will continue until

October and it is estimated that the attendance of visitors will equal if not surpass that at any previous international exhibition held in anypart of the world. The entire profits of the festival will be devoted to King Edward VII.'s Hospital Fund.
