GEORGE V. CROWNED KING OF ENGLAND Westminster Abbey, Riled with Brilliant Throng, Is Scene of the Great Pageant—Royal Progress from Bucking ham Palace Delights the Populace. __ T mlw —That magnificent spectacle which the entire British empire has been lao* lag forward to (or months, (he earuoatioa of K.ng George V and Qanep Mary, was staged la. West min •tee Ahhry on Thursday Seven thou aaad peswon* witnessed the stately ci rues ear aad aa the Archbishop of CuterWrr placed the crown of St Bdward oa the head of the ruler they all rose to their feet with loud cries of ~Lnag lire King George " At the ns me instant the great guns of the Tower of Louden boomed out. and the pspetaoe without the abbey repeated the greeting to their monarch until it beramt a tremendous roar that spread all over the mighty city. Crust Thru ops In the Streets. From the earliest boors of the morn ing the papulation of London and the King Georg* V. hundred* of t hour ends of visitors bad been meting toward '.be royal route from Be. kingham Palace to Westmin ster Abbey As toot as the seats in the numerous stands were filled, gates were tloi-ed that knpt out «be rabble, and then the throngs tried to crowd in to the streets adjoining the route, from pole to pole throughout the en tire distance gay colored hunting was strung. and tbo w hole city was stream ing with Sags Along the Mall and ul! the way from the palace to the abbey troops were •landing, company ujkje company. British troops of every shade of color, living cymbuis of the countries and peoples over whi h the new king and emperor reign On every aide hands were piay.cg patriot*: music, and the din of cheering was continuous and •rerw helming Procession Frotr the Palace. As the hour for the coronation ap proached the waiting thousands first saw the arrival of the gentlemen ap ;*>lnted to act as ushers during the oeiemony These were led by the earl marshal, the duke of Norfolk. Then the ncblllty entitled to seats in the Abbey began to come. Most of the peers and peeresses rode in state coaches that have been used by their families for many years. These car riages, repainted and regllded. were drawn by four horses apiece. Each was accompanied by outriders and footmen in gorgeous liveries stood on the rail behind. Each peer as he passed was greeted with cheers and often with familiar greetings that set the crowds off in roars of laughter, for even the solemnity of the occasion could not restrain the irreverent hu bumor of the cockneys. Not all the nobility rode In coaches, however, for the king had permitted one violation of precedent and given permission for the use of automobiles by those who have discarded horses. This was done reluctantly, and there were not many motors cars in the long procession of vehicles. The lord mayor and his suite, in their gorgeous robes and regalia, were the next to pass toward the Abbey. King and Queen Appear. Now the bells of many churches pealed out, and the people knew the king and queen were coming. From the moment their majesties emerged from Buckingham palace there was a continuous roar of cheers that accom panied them all the way to the Abbey. Their approach was heralded by the king's bargemaster and twelve water men. wearing quaint medieval tunics, knee breeches and stockings, all scar let. with the crown and badges em blazoned in gold on their breasts, and wearing low buckled shoes and black velvet caps. Immediately behind them came the closed carriages of the royal party, every one drawn by splendid horses gorgeously caparisoned. Through the windows of the great lumbering state coach the people could ge* a glimpse of the king and queen. Following their majesties rode the household troops and especially picked military bodies. Field Marshal Vis count Kitchener was at the head of the headquarters staff, as he was at the coronation of King Edward. In this part of the procession, too. rode many Indian princes and maharajahs and potentates of England's widely scattered dominions. Their splendid robes glittered with jewels and they added much to the magnificence of the parade. But the man who. next to the king, received the loudest and warmest applause was Lord Roberts, for the people love "Bobs" and their affectionate greetings almost made the grizzled hero of a hundred campaigns blush. Arrival at the Abbey. Waiting outside the west door of Westminster Abbey were the archbish ops of Canterbury and York and a large number of bishops, and when the king and queen approached they first entered the church, followed im mediately by the Prince of Wales and his suite. As the monarchs passed in to ihe abbey the choir sang an anthem. Their majesties moved through the Stand* Around Westminster Abbey choir to the theater and after kneeling In prayer. Eeated themselves In the chairs of state. The first action of the coronation service, the presentation of the king to the people for recognition, is a sur vival of ancient Teutonic usage. Ac companied by the great officers of state, the archbishop of Canterbury went to each side of the theater in turn, saying: “Sirs. I here present unto you King George, the undoubted king of this realm; wherefore, all yog who are come this day to do youg homage, are you willing to do the same?” The king meanwhile stood up by his chair and turned to each side, and the people acclaimed him with crie3 of "God save King George.” Then followed the litany, the com munion service and a short sermon preached by the archbishop of York, af.er which the oath was administer ed to the king by the archbishop of Canterbury. The Anointing and Coronation. King George now was divested of his crimson robes by the lord great chamberlain and seated himself in the chair of King Edward I., which contains the ancient “stone of des tiny.” The dean of Westminster brought from the altar the golden ampulla and spoon, and the arch bishop anointed him on the head, the breasts and the palms of both hands, and blessed him. The king was next i invested with the colobium sindonis , of fine linen and the supertunica of cloth of gold, his heels were touched j with the golden spurs and the sword of state was girded upon him. after which the armill and robe royal of I Queen Mary. cloth of gold were put upon him. In turn, then, his majesty was given the orb. the king’s ring, the glove and the two scepters. All was ready now for the supreme act The archbishop placed St. Ed ward's crown upon the altar and de livered a short prayer, and then, sup ported by the other clergy, placed the crown upon the king’s head. At that instant the trumpets sounded, the congregation shouted “Long live King George” and the peers and kings of arms put on their coronets. The inthronization was a handsome part of the ceremonies. The king was lifted up into his throne by the archbishops, the bishops and certain peers, and all the great officers and those who bore the swords, the scep ters and other regalia grouped them selves about the steps of the throne. Next the princes and peers did their homage, led by the archbishop of Canterbury and the prince of Wales. Each of these and the premier duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron ; kissed the king upon the cheek. The anointing and crowning of Queen Mary was a short and simple ceremony. Following the example of Queen Alexandra, she was anointed ; on the head only. She was Invested with the ring, was crowned by the archbishop of York and received the scepter and the ivory rod with the dove. Few American in the Abbey. Of all the Americans who have been attracted to London by the fes tivities of the coronation season, only a very few were admitted to the Abbey. These included President Taft's* special ambassador. John Hays Hammond, and Mrs. Hammond; Maj. Gen. Greely and Rear Admiral Vree land, representing the army and navy, and the latter’s secretary; Am bassador Whitelaw Reid and Mrs. Reid and the attaches and secretaries of the embassy, Pierpont Morgan and less than a score of American women who married English peers. One fact connected with the coro nation was the subject of some amused comment. This was that King George, who is quite the reverse of a giant, had selected four of the shortest knights of the garter to hold the gol den canopy over him during the anointing.

CARPETS FOR THE ABBEY Floor Covering Used for the Corona tion of King George Was Mads In Scotland. f nartrm—Scotland has the honor of ^nktaW the carpet* which covered the ^ gf Weatmiuater Abbey for the eorooatloa The Door covering has onrSaat times been a specific feature in the preparation* for the otaxaly eeremocr. and in the Uber p_u. pfognred for Richard 1L. a copy of which is in the safe keeping of the deans of Westminster, there is a definite order as to the “Ray cloth of Durrel’’ to be placed under the “King's feet as he goeth.” At all the later coronations the carpet has been of a rich and beautiful character, with as lustrous a surface as possible, and from the quantities needed in the more recent times It is one of the first requirements to be set in hand. The new carpet followed very closely up on lines of that ordered for King Ed ward’s crowning. Then as now the color was a singularly soft, rich blue The design was symbolical and em bodied the badge and motto of the Order of the Garter and the Tudor rose, with the thistle, shamrock, and lotus connected with festoons of bay leaves and ribbons. These were ef fectively shown in a rather lighter shade of color and the whole formed an admirable background to the mag nificence of the state robes, the ec clesiastical vestments, the crimson of the peeresses’ dresses, and the mili tary and diplomatic uniforms. UNDERGONE WONDERFUL TRANSFORMATION Sam Crawford, Detroit's Fast Outfield er. Not for a long time has Sam Craw ford been in such fine shape as he is this year. He is light, active and en thusiastic. and confidently expects to have the best year of his baseball ca reer. Sam Isn’t exactly wasted, for the is a man of large frame padded by a lot of hard muscle that no amount of exercise will decrease. But there isn’t a bit of fat on him anywhere. In all the games played by the Tigers this season, the Wahoo man has shown such speed on the base3 that his mates hardly have recognized him. Of recent years, particularly last season, Crawford had some trouble with his ankles and wasn't taking chances on the sacks. Sliding only when hitting the dirt might decide the result of a ball game. This year . he has been diving for the sacks with all the abandon in the world, developing a “strawberry" on his hip the first time Jennings asked the boys . to practice the stunt made famous by Mr. Kelly. As for Sam's hitting, there never has been any doubt about it. For meeting the ball on the nose and driv ing it hard, he hasn't a superior in the American league, if indeed he has an equal. This season is no ex ception. He is endangering the lives of infielders with his line drives and chasing outfielders to the fences for long flies. Also he seems to be having his usual tough luck in the manner of losing hits because somebody goes and grabs one with his bare hand or makes some totally unnecessary and scandalous stop and throw. It hardly seems reasonable to sup pose that the Tigers' opponents will keep on making Sam the victims of their circus stunts forever and this may be the season when luck is due to change in his favor. Given the •'breaks,” Sam will make a lot of those line drives go safe that now happen to be hit exactly into somebody's mitt. LITTLE MAGEE IS A ROOTER Slugger's Four-Year-Old Son Knows Nothing About Phillies, but Is Wise to Athletics. The spectacular fielding and hitting of Sherwood Magee is one of the things responsible for the Phillies' po sition in the National league race. Last year he led the league in batting, and this season his work has been even better. Magee's four-year-old son. Robert, knows nothing about the Phillies, but can tell you all about the Athletics. Youna Magee, who never remembered anything about a ball game until this season, was a daily visitor at the Athletics' park while the Phillies were in the west, and continually harps about Connie Mack. The youngster was out on the field at the Phillies’ park the other after 1 Sherwood Magee. noon and did not seem to take a bit of interest in Dooin's bunch. The youngster is crazy about Charley Dooin. but does not care what the club does. The Phillies’ mascot, the goat, was strutting about the outfield when the youngster spied him and cried. “Oh. pop. look there's Connie Mack!” Sherwood looked all over for Connie Mack but the goat was the only thing he saw, “Mac'' says that every one he sees Robert calls Connie Mack. Sher wood says it goes pretty tough when his own youngster can do nothing but root for the opposite club. "Dode" Paskert has a youngster that chases about the field now, who is Just the opposite. This lad is a wonderful ball player for a child. He can catch almost anything no matter how hard it is hit or thrown and would rather play ball than eat. What is more, young Paskert is a hot rooter and is unapproachable if the Phillies lose. BASEBALL SLANG JARS COURT Little Guy Bounced Rock Off Bean of Mutt in Brown Suit, Says Witness Tom Clarke. During the past winter Tom Clarke of Cincinnati was a witness in a small case at the little court in his home in Corona—a case where some Coronite accused another one of assault and battery. Mr. Clarke was on the stand, and was asked to describe the trou ble. “Near as I can remember." said Mr. Clarke, “this little guy here bounced a rock off the bean of this mutt in the brown suit.” "The court fails to comprehend." in terposed the magistrate. “Will you plase make your statement more definite. Mr. Clarke?" “Well, your honor, as near as I can tell It, this sawed-off gazab with the checked benny carressed this sun kissed blonde in the brown rags one on the dome with a cobble." “You must correct your language. Mr. Clarke,” the court objected. “Do you mean that the defendant struck the plaintiff upon the occiput with a stone?" “That's about, your honor, though I don't talk that kind of slang. The little gick. your honor, plinked the other dub on the on the—on the—say, your honor, what is your honor's fancy name for this rummy's bean?" Swedes to Invade Baseball. Henry Severeld of Cincinnati has , a brother in the Wisconsin-Illinois league, an Infielder. Henry asserts that It will be but a few years before the Norwegians will flood Into base ball and corner all the star salaries. •‘They have the abilitj," says Henry, "and they have the brains—the only reason they haven't invaded baseball before is because they didn't happen to think about it." Merkle Makes Long Drive. Fred Merkle. the Giants' first base man. made a batting record in New ark. in an exhibition g#ne. In the second inning Merkle hit the bali on a line, it striking the left field fence a few inches below the top. The fence is 400 feet from the home plate. Veterans who witnessed the game say it is one or the longest drives on record. Mahony From Holy Cross. The fact that D. J. Mahoney, the newest addition to the Cincinnati Reds, comes from Holy Cross, seems to be a great recommendation, as Holy Cross has been turning out some great ballplayers. Sockalexis. Andy Coakley and Jack Barry are three Holy CroSs performers who made the fans talk. Another New Rule. President Johnson has Inaugurated another new rule this year for all American league parks. The umpires are not required to announce the bat teries or to give the names of emer gency hitters in the game. All club owners have been notified to provide megaphone men for that purpose, as the new ball parka are so large that the umpire’s voice is strained too much. KNOTTY PROBLEM TO SOLVE Question of Standing of College Student Who Signs to Play Professional Ball Opan. The National commission the other day was appealed to for a verdict on a matter which it considered was not within its province. It seems that a player named Lynch, a Californian, who has been signed by the New York Americans, signed while still in college. He Is from St. Mary's col lege. where Chase came from. The college authorities wrote to the na tional commission to know whether Lynch, having signed to play pro fessional bail, was a professional or still an amateur. The commission re plied that it didn't deal with such questions. The case is analogous to that of Clarkson of Harvard. Vaughn i of Princeton and Schultz of Pennsyl vania. These men all signed profes sional contracts while still In col lege. This question appears to be one for each college to settle as it thinks fit. Clarkson's act made him ineligible at Harvard, whether or not he received any money prior to completing his college course. Schultz announced that he had signed, which ended his playing for Pennsylvania. It is not probable that Vaughn would have been allowed to play at Princeton again, but as it was conditions in studies kept him off the nine anyway. CLEVER BOSTON BALL PLAYER Tris Speaker Is One of Few Outfield ers Who Can Run Back After High Fly Ball. Tris Speaker, of the Boston Amer- ; ican league team, is probably one of I the greatest men in the game when It j comes to playing a short center field. And that is one of the tests of your great outfielder. Tris is one of the Trig Speaker. few men who can go back after a fly ball. Almost any outfielder can play the field deep and come in. But when you get a fellow who can play short and then go out, you hare a jewel. Among the. Certainly seems like a batters’ year, i Ping Bodle ought to be renamed ••Pinch." Athletics are beginning to play like real world's champions. Ford Is one of the few high priced beauties who has made good. Philadelphia Athletics appear to have struck their winning stride. Major league ball teams now may be known by the number of hits made. ; Somehow or other the fans do not relish a return to the days of two hit games. The Tigers keep right on winning, and they don't seem to care who knows it. Now the tip has gone out to manu facturers of baseballs that less hit ting is desirable. After all. Harry Stelnfeldt finds baseball more profitable and more fun than plate selling. empire Jack Doyle evidently be lieves what President Lynch says about upholding his umpires. Floyd Kroh is back in form again and is pitching winning ball for the Louisville Colonels. Those high-salaried pitchers do not appear to be above the ordinary run of mortals. Although the games are longer, fans appear to like these slugging bees bet ter than the hitless kind. Why is it that so many National league players and so few American leaguers are put out of the games by umpires? Muggsy McGraw’s statement that baseball is learned on the field and not out of books presages a return to common sense. Clyde Engle, the Red Sox third sacker, became a ball player for his health. His brother Harry was a star on the Dayton team and advised him to take up the game. SALADS FROM WAYSIDE MANY WILD DELICACIES WHICH HOUSEWIVES CAN USE. Dandelion Has First Place Among Such Greens—Sorrel Makes Dell* cious Soups and May Bo Served In Other Ways. There is a goodly supply of delica cies In the hedges, which the French housewife in her wisdom uses for her health’s sake In salads. Foremost among the wild greens is dandelion, a valuable medicine for the liver. Cooked alone it ts good, but its bit ter flavor may be mitigated by min gling it with spinach. Dandelion salad is extremely whole some. Take the young and tender green leaves of the plant and wash them thoroughly with cold water, but do not braise the leaves. Lay them in a glass dish, and pour over two tablespoonfuls of olive oil, one table spoonful of lemon juice, pepper, salt, •« and sugar to taste. Little early shoots of corn, cooked, or served as a salad, are another much appreciated delicacy. Sorrel, too. Both the French and Germans make delicious soups, sal ads and other dishes of the vegetable, the fresh acid of which is wholesome on languid days. Gather a few hand fuls and cook it as you would cook a puree of spinach, and serve it as a relish with roast beef instead of horseradish sauce, or with lamb in stead of mint sauce. Sorrel makes a good addition to spinach, if you use three-quarters spinach and one-quarter sorrel. In cooking these acid herb3 and greenstuffs a porcelain vessel must be used, and not a metal one. Nettle tops may be treated with ad vantage in just the same way. A few leaves of sorrel added to any salad improves its flavor, but when ever you use sorrel in salad mix less vinegar than usual with the dressing, as the acid in sorrel is well nigh suffi cient. For a watercress salad the follow ing is a food Itlian recipt: Wash three or four bunches of wa- * tercress and drain them, slice four ' br five cold boiled potatoes very thin, and mix with the following sauce: Four tablespoonfuls of oil, half a tablespoonful of vinegar, salt and black pepper to taste, one shallot minced up fine, half a pinch of cay enne and half a tablespoonful of sugar. Sorrel may likewise be made Into a puree either with a meat stock or maigre, and is delicious if stewed.' Boil some cleaned sorrel until tender md rub through a sieve into a stew ban. Add a tablespoonful of bechamel sauce, a little salt and vinegar, and two ounces and a half of fresh but ter. Stew a few minutes and serve. The bechamel sauce is made like this: Mix three tablespoonfuls of but ter and three of flour to a smooth baste, put half an onion and half a carrot sliced, a little bit of mace, two teacupfuls of white stock, a pinch of salt and grated nutmeg, and a bou juet in a stewpan; simmer for half in hour, stirring often; then add one teacupful of cream, boil at once, strain and serve. Au Around house To remove the smell of fresh paint put a pail of cold water In the room and change it every two or three lours. ' If a simple brown frame seems too lark for a photograph it may be great ly lightened by Introducing a tiny Holding of gold just outside the inner ;dge of the frame. To remove grease from a kitchen able scrub well with hot water, to which half a teaspoonful of whiting las been added; wipe and then dry ihoroughly with a clean cloth. This will make the table look equal to new. Mutton dripping will not set hard ind suety, as it usually does, if direct ly the fat is poured from the baking tin the vessel containing It Is put at he back of the stove and allowed to stay there until the stove itself cools.

Cut the lemon with :he rind into slices and allow it to emain in the boiler until the clothes ire ready to come out.
