Anticipation of the clinkx of tomor row's coronation, 2,000 ambulances, hundreds of physi cians and nurses and emergency hospitals have been en gaged to care for casualties which are considered inevit Q)le. Preparations are made against accidents in case Tany of the grand stands collapse, or fire breaks out. Precautions were redoubled today f o guard the visiting royalty. All houses along the line of march were inspect ed by S.cotland Yard to see no plots or bombs existed. To night the big gates will be closed and a rectangle tWo and one half miles across and three miles long in the central ..jiart of London where the ceremonies occur tomorrow wui ue ciuseu. iu name wv iwi uays. xuis mciuu.es lue hit h atpIq pnrl nnQi-nooq OTISCS. enter or depart from the rectangle save those with passes. it is expected that tyie embargo against trade in the rec tangle will cause a serious inconvenience in the hotels as. the congestion of. traffic was so heavy last night that provisions to last through the two days were not all re ceived and only a little more could be secured today. ... ' The coronation robes, jewels :an& otherlregalia were carried today from Buckingham palace to Westminster abbey. They are under special guard of the king s lite ards. erected have been pluced on tbe route of Friday's procession, which is ex pected to afford a more elaborate spec tacle than that of tomorrow. Patient folks who rise early may secure stand Ing room along the street curbs, but they will have to stanl on tiptoe to see over the bearskin hats of the' Foot Guards, tall fellows, all o them, even if they endure the hour3 of tedious waiting and have the luck to retain their places. Many Ijojal Visitors. The coronation has attracted to Lon don more royal visitors than hns ever been seen here at one time bfote. In the state rooms of St. Jamei' palace tonight the Duke of Connaught gives a dinner in their honor. On? of the most distinguished of the foreign dele gations is that from Japan; which in cludes Prince Fushimi, Admiral Toso and General Nogi. Prince Henry of Prussia and his wife, who represent the German emperor and empresVare doubly related to the king, through Prince Henry's mother, Empress Fred erick and Princess Henry's mother. Princess Alice. The crown prince and princess of Roumania are well known in England. The crown princess is King George's first cousin and sptnt her childhood In England. She will be perhaps the handsomest of the foreign princesses attending the ceremony. Duchess of Aosta a Beauty. The Duchess of Aosta, wife of the heir presumptive' to the throne of Italy, will be the crown princess of Rou manian chief royal rival in the mat ter of good looks. She was married, when Helena d'Orleans, to the Duke of Aosta, at Kingston on the Thames, and she made her social debut at a Marl borough house garden party, so a visit to England is rather like a home com ing to her. Other interesting; foreign visitors here for the ceremony tomor row are Prince Henry of the Nether lands, the crown prince of Servla, Prince Yusut Izzed-Din of Turkey, the Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Aus tria, the crown prince of Denmark, the crown prince and princess of Sweden, and Prince and Princess Johann Georg of Saxony. Tindnn .Tuno 21. Th poronfttion Of - - . -i King George and Queen Mary is the. one topic uppermost in the minds of the people of London today. For while the brilliant ceremony will be one of world-wide Interest, it is in London that the great and glorious scenes as sociated with the event will be carried on. . 1 ' London tomorrow will be the scene of such magnificent pageantry and repre- antation of power and might as will lipse the glories of the Jubilee cele brations of 1887 and 1897 and the cor onation of Edward VII in 1902, and will provide for all who have the privi lege of seeing it, a vision of splendor unequaled in recent times. King and courtier, military and civil officials, lord mayor and citizens, have all, in their respective spheres, concentrate! . ther efforts in the welding together of jjthe multifarious parts in a pageant which will lack nothing in' its wealth of color and brilliancy. The Coronation Processions. v With that willingness which has Over characterized the king and queen o study, as far as possll9, the wishes of this loyal subjects, arrangements have been made for two royal proces sions through the streets of the me tropolis. The first will take place to morrow when their majestlces go from Buckingham palace to Westminster abbey to be crowned, and the second on Friday when they proceed from the palace to the city proper, where they will be received by the lord mayor and corporation in state. This will mean r. drive through the center of London, and then, In order that all classes may have an opportunity of taking part In the celebrations, their majesties will cross London bridge and return on m the south side of the Thames, passing fj through some of the meaner streets of the metropolis. To nine-tenths of the people of London) seeing the corona tion will mean merely seeing the great procession of Friday. To tbe Abbey and Return. For the coronation ceremony tomor row the king and queen will go to Westminster abbey by the shortest route from Buckingham palace, 6 through the ball, the archway and the courtyard of the Horse Guards, White hall, Parliament street and Parliament square. Returning after the cere mony, which will last about two hours, a longer' route will be taken, by waj of Charing Cross, Cockspur street, Pall Mall, St. James street. Piccadilly.
