Then tho nobility entltlod to scats In
tho Abbey began to come. Most of tho
peers and poeresscs rodo in state
coaches that have been uScd by their
families for many years. Thoso car

drawn by four horses npleco. Each
was accompanied by outriders and
footmen In gorgeous liveries stood on

passed was greoted with choors and
often with familiar greetings that set
tho crowds off In roars of laughter, for
oven tho solemnity of tho occasion
could not restrain tho Irreverent hu
humor of tllo cocknoys.
Not all tho nobility fodo In coaches,
however, for tho king had permitted
ono violation of precedent nnd given
permission for tho uso of automobiles
by thoso who havo discarded horses.
This was dono reluctantly, nnd thero

pealed out, and tho peoplo knew tho
king and queen woro coming. From
tho moment their majesties emerged
from Buckingham palaco there was, a
continuous roar of cheers that accom

kneo breeches and stockings, all scar

horses gorgeously caparisoned
Through tho windows of tho groat

get a gllmpso of tho king and quoen.
Following their majesties rode tho
household troops and especially picked
military bodies. Flold Marshal Vis
count Kitchener was at the head of
tho headquarters staff, as ho was at
tho coronation of King Edward. In
this part of tho procession, too, rodo
many Indian princes and maharajahs
and potentates of England's widely
scattered dominions. Their splendid
robes gllttored with Jowols and they
added much to tho magnificence of tho
parade. But tho man who, noxt tp
tho king, received tho loudest and
warmest applauso was Lord Roberts
for tho peoplo lovo "Bobs" and their
affectljmato greetings almost made tho
grizzled hero of a hundred campaigns
blush.
