troops guarded the mar,ch.

was bathed with nervous persplratlou.
Mary seemed cool and assured. The
archbishop of Canterbury showed a
little nervousness when he placed
the crown on the ,klng. The people
gave a big demonstration when the
party left the abbey for Buckingham
palace again.
. Enthusiasm Lacking.
London, June 22. Lord Kitchener
threw a wet blanket over the whole
coronation festivities. - "I am deeply
disappointed over the comparative
lack of enthusiasm over the crown

have summed up his chagrin with the
aBove remark. No doubt Kitchener's tne baianc of the gorgeous

seemed numberless. Lining the thor

sion were nearly 60,000 soldiers under
command of Field Mafshall Viscount
Kitchener To some extent the tre
mendous military display was,' In
deed, necessitated by the shortness
of the route and the consequent con

which, orderly as Londoners usually
are, would have rendered the ordinary
"thin red line" powerless tor control

Immediately " the abby' doors were
opened, hours before the actual cere
mony, those privileged persons pos
sessing tickets of admission began
taking their seats, and as the ancient
edifice filled, the eye was dazzled by
the sparkling- of the women's Jewel3
and the brilliance of , the1 uniforms
worn by the men. X.- " ' .
Peers and peeresses were In full
robe's of scarlet and ermine and car
ried their coronets ready to 'put on
the moment the crown was placed on
King' George's head. Coronets, gems,
chains, orders and medals scintillated

Lord Kitchener Stumbles. ;f
Only a little incident marred the
(ceremonies in the abbey when Lord
; Kitchener stumbled over a page and
' nearly measured his length on the
(floor. It caused a titter among the not
. ables. One of the most serious mls-
chances of the day occured at Trafal
gar square just before their majesties
arrived. The police were clearing a
' way for the procession and spectators
resisted and the police were driven
. back until reinforcements arrived.
When the crowd pressed back several
were seriously injured in the clash."
All along the route of the pageant
during the return trip there was much
confusion. It had been reported there
was. plenty of 'room along certain
parts of the route and .hundreds of
thousands of spectators crowded to
ward the spots. ' In every block spec
tators and soldiers collapsed under
the terrific pressure and ambulances
were busy carrying away those who
fell. y r ,
To the orthodoxly-ininded the cere
mony was an awe-inspiring display of
' the pomp of militarism, of ccleiast!
cal solemnity and of medieval magni
ficence. To the cynic it was an al
most ' pathetically childish exhibition
of delight In tinsel and spangles. The
