BANFFSHIRE.
The County of Banff Las an area of 435,251 acres, or 680 square miles. Under orders
issued by the Boundary Commissioners in November 1890, considerable alterations were
made in the area of the County, as from 15th May 1891. Under these orders, there were
struck off from the County the portions it previously contained of the parishes of Bellie,
8336 acres ; Rothes, 851 acres ; Gartly, 6339 acres ; and Glass, 4732 acres. Under the same
orders, there were added the portions of the parishes of Boharm, 7835 acres ; Inveraven,
1588 acres ; and Keith, 1883 acres — formerly parts of Morayshire ; and from Aberdeenshire,
a detached portion of King-Edward, 1081 acres, and a portion of Cabrach, 1465 acres.
The total extent subtracted was 20,258 acres, and the extent added, 27,401 acres. By
these changes, Banffshire, while gaining in acreage, lost in rental, the aggregate rental
of the parishes added being £6610, while for the portions subtracted it was £8972,
Banffshire thus losing a rental of £2362. Besides the foregoing, the parish of St Fergus
and part of the parishes of Old Deer and New Machar, which were all situated in Aber-
deenshire, but formed parts of Banffshire, were, by orders issued by the Boundary
Commissioners on October 24, 1890, declared ' to cease to be parts of the County of
Banff,' and to ' form parts of the County of Aberdeen.'
The length of the shire from N.E. to S.W. is 67 miles ; greatest width, E. to W. on
coast line, 32 miles ; narrowest part, between Keith and Boharm, about 9 miles ; average
breadth, 12 miles. The Cairngorm Mountains form the Southern extremity, Ben Macdhui
(4296 feet) being partly in Banffshire. On South and East, Banffshire is bounded by
Aberdeenshire ; on the West, by Inverness and Morayshires, the river Spey being the
boundary line for about 17 miles ; and on the North, by the Moray Firth.
The County, as modified by the Orders of the Commissioners, comprises 22 Civil
Parishes — namely, Aberlour, Alvah, Banff, Boharm, Botriphnie, Boyndie, Cabrach,
Cullen, Deskford, Fordyce, Forglen, Gamrie, Grange, Inveraven, Inverkeithny, Keith,
Kirkmichael, Marnoch, Mortlach, Ordiquhill, Ilathven, and Rothiemay.
There are 11 Parishes Quoad Sacra — namely, Buckie, Enzie, Gardenstown, Glenlivet,
Glenrinnes, Macduff, Newmill, Ord, Portsoy, Seafield, and Tomintoul.
The County contains two Royal Burghs, Banff and Cullen, and seven Police Burghs —
namely, Macduff (which is also part of the Parliamentary Burgh of Banff), Portsoy,
Buckie, Keith, Dufftown, Aberchirder, and Aberlour.
Population in 1891, 64,190, forming 13,748 families, living in 12,707 houses. The
proportion of inhabitants to each square mile is 90. Population of the various parishes,
and other particulars in following pages, are according to census of 1891. Valuation,
£264,111 7s. lid., or including Royal Burghs, £281,466 3s. 7d.
Fully one-third of the area of the county is arable, and an advanced system of
agriculture is practised. The tenure is almost universally nineteen years' lease ; and
farming is generally conducted upon the five and six years' rotation of cropping. On
clay and heavy soils, in the lower district, along the coast, wheat is grown, but the
grain crops are for the most part barley and oats.
In 1897, the total acreage in the county under all kinds of crops, bare fallow and
grass, was 160,033 acres, compared with 160,000 acres in 1896. Under corn crops, there
were, in 1897, 57,195 acres, compared with 57,760 acres in 1896. The following gives the
acreage under the various corn crops for the two years, the figures for 1897 being given
first :— Wheat 12—1, barley or bere 10,965—9096, oats 45,980—48,379, rye 66—122,
beans 127 — 99, peas 45—63. Under green crops, there were in the county, in 1897,
25,238 acres, compared with 25,380 acres in 1896. This acreage was made up as follows,
the figures for the previous year following those for 1897, viz. :— Potatoes 1958 — 1984,
turnips 22,242—22,368, mangold 17—5, cabbage, kohl-rabi, and rape 6—4, vetches or
tares 997 — 1004, other green crops 18 — 15. There were under clover, sainfoin, and
grasses under rotation 63,693 as compared with 63,206 in 1896. Of this there were for
hay 9139 acres, as against 10,137 acres in 1896 ; and there were 54,554 acres not for hay
as compared with an acreage in 1896 of 53,069. Under permanent pasture, or grass not
broken up in rotation, exclusive of mountain and heath land, there were in 1897
13,794 acres, as against 13,533 acres the former year. For hay there were 1209 acres in
1897, and 1956 in 1896 ; and not for hay there were in 1897 12,585 acres, and 11,577
acres in 1896. One acre was devoted to flax, compared with 8 acres in 1896 ; 20 acres
were under small fruits, being a decrease of 1 acre ; and under the head of 'bare fallow '
there were 677 acres, as compared with 615 acres in 1896.

BANFF COUNTY COUNCIL.
Tbe third County Council, under the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1889, was
elected on December 3, 1895. To initiate procedure in the first County Council, there
were included four ex officio members — Lord-Lieutenant of the County, Convener of the
Commissioners of Supply, Chairman of County Road Trustees, and Chairman of Local
Authority under Contagious Diseases (Animals) Acts. In the election in 1892, the
ex officio members as such were dropped, and all the members now represent an electoral
division of the county. The elections took place on the divisions fixed by the Boundary
Commissioners. Under an order of the Commission, issued in November 1890, the
Banffshire portion of the Parish of Bellie, which was represented in the Banffshire
Council by a member, was, from 15th May 1891, annexed to Morayshire for all pur-
poses, and to provide an electoral division in place of the alienated territory, the Com-
missioners divided the Parish of Inveraven into two electoral districts — Inveraven and
the quoad sacra Parish of Glenlivet.

These Teas are the rich and varied products of the
Gardens of India, China, and Ceylon,
and are sold as they arrive in all their freshness and fiagrance direct from
the Chest.
No packeted Teas are allowed into Stock, as Tea when put into packets
rapidly loses all its distinguishing characteristics, crispness and flavour, by
humidity of climate, or contiguity to smell-yielding things.
Those who retain their preference for the highest qualities and selected
growths of Tea now participate in the full reduction made on the other kinds.
COFFEE.
N either a Mixture of Coffee and Chicory nor those so-called Essences of
Coffee possess much of the true character of fine Coffee. Seventy years' ex-
experience has taught the undersigned that Coffee, like Tea, is improved by
blending several sorts together. MOUNTAIN JAMAICA, COSTA RICA,
and MOCHA COFFEE form one of the best blends, and this the Subscribers
are at present selling for

THE QUEEN'S DIAMOND JUBILEE:
The Celebration of a Remarkable Reign of Sixty Years.
22nd JUNE, 1897.
OFFICERS OF THE INDIAN ARMY.
(From a Photo by Thiele, Chancery Lane, Ii,C.)
The Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
A Subject for Rejoicing.
THE Queen came to the throne on the 20th
of June, 1837, and so completed the sixtieth
year of her reign, and reached her "Diamond
Jubilee," on the 20th of June, 1897.
This event gave rise to enthusiastic demonstra-
tions of loyalty, pride, and exultation, which the
memories of these sixty years fully warranted.
The Celebration may be said to have lasted from
Saturday, the 19th of June, till far on in July, and
was on a scale never before known in Great
Britain, or, perhaps, in any other land.
We propose here to give an account of the
various events of these remarkable Diamond
Jubilee days, confining ourselves chiefly to the
description of rejoicings in which Her Majesty
herself took part.
The Longest Reign.
Nearly a year before the national celebration
of ihe Diamond Jubilee— it was on the 23rd of
September, 1896 — the reign of the Queen became
the longest in British history. On that day Her
Majesty surpassed the limits of the longest rei^n
hitherto recorded in our national annals, namely,
that of her grandfather, George III., who reigned
for fifty-nine years, three months, and four days.
* * * *
Her Majesty has now reigned much longer
than any other European sovereign, and of all
reigning monarchs she is the oldest, with the
exception of the King of Denmark, who is her
senior by about eleven months.
Of the European monarchs of the past, no one
has .urpassed her reign in length except Louis
XIV. of France — Louis the Great — who came to
the throne in 1643 and died in 1715. But though
Louis succeeded in 1643, he was only then a little
boy of five years old ; his true reign did not begin
till the death of Cardinal Mazarin in 1661. Our
Queen, on the other hand, was able from the first
t j assume the duties and responsibilities of her
high station.
* * * *
In English history the four monarchs who,
after Her Majesty, have reigned longest are —
naming them in order of time — Henry III., who
reigned fifty-six years; Edward III., fifty years ;
Elizabeth, forty-four years; and George III.,
as we have said, fifty-nine years.
But these figures, except in the case of Eliza-
beth, give only the nominal, not the actual,
period of the reign. Henry III. was a minor,
only ten years old, when he came to the throne ;
so was Edward III. — he was fifteen. The reign
of George III., too, practically came f) an
end nine years before his death. We all know
the sad and impressive story of how, sightless
and with shattered intellect, he passed his last
days of nominal sovereignty.
A Military Tattoo.
The Jubilee Celebrations may be said to have
had their official commencement on the night of
Saturday, the 19th of June, at Windsor Castle,
when Her Majesty and the other members of the
Royal Family, who were her guests at the Castle,
were present at a military tattoo, given in the
Queen s honour by the troops of the Windsor
ganison.
The tattoo, unfortunately, took place in dis-
agreeable weather, rain falling continuously
throughout its performance and marring to
some extent what proved to be, even under
these adverse conditions, a highly impressive
display. The scene of the pageant was the
grand quadrangle.
Thanksgiving Services.
Most appropriately, it happened that the 60th
anniversary of Her Majesty's accession fell on a
Sunday. Thanksgiving services on the 20th of
June formed a fitting prelude to the great
national solemnity which was to follow two days
later. In all parts of the Empire, and in all lands
without its borders where our countrymen are
gathered together, as well as from many who are
allied to us neither by blood nor a common
allegiance, heartfelt thanks ascended to Heaven
for the prolongation of a reign which has brought
manifold blessings not upon the British Empire
only, but upon the whole race of man.
* * * *
The Queen herself, with the membe-s of the
Royal Family slaying at the Castle, and the
Court, were present at a service held in St.
George's Chapel, Windsor. It was a quiet
ceremony of an Unofficial »nd almost of a family
character.
The Prince and Princess of Wales and many
other members of the Royal Family, together
with the Colonial Premiers who had come to
this country to join in the Jubilee rejoicings, ami
many of the Ambassadors and Peers, with repre-
sentatives of the learned professions and societies,
attended a solemn celebration at St. Paul's.
At Westminster Abbey the Peers were present*.
in their robes, while the House of Commons,
headed by their Speaker, went in procession to a
Service at St. Margaret's.
" SWEET IS THE LOVE THAT MEETS RETURN."
HER MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA.
(Photo by ll\ &• D. Downey, Iibury Street, London.)
" TIME WASTED IS EXISTENCE ; USED IS LIFE."
The Nonconformist churches and chapels
honoured the great occasion in similar ways.
The Queen arrives in Town.
The Queen, accompanied by the Empress
Frederick, Princes? Christian, and Princess
Henry of Battenberg, left Windsor Castle for
London shortly before noon on Monday, the 21st
of June, and reached Paddington at 12.35 p m.
Paddington Station was profusely decorated,
and a large number of officials of the Great
Western Railway, representatives of local bodies,
and others, were assembled to receive Her
Majesty. The Royal party drove from the
station to Buckingham Palace, receiving enthusi-
astic greetings all along the route from immense
crowds of spectators.

In the afternoon all the foreign Princes who
had arrived in London for the Jubilee celebra-
tions were entertained to luncheon in the Palace,
and in the evening there was a State banquet, at
which the Queen was present. Her Majesty
afterwards held a reception, to which wire
invited foreign Princes and Envoys, with their
suites, Indian Princes, Colonial Premiers and
their wives, and officers of the Imperial and
native Indian escorts.
The Programme for the 22nd of June.
The great celebration of Tuesday, the 22nd —
the central and most conspicuous event of the
whole of the Jubilee rejoicings — was a progress
made by Her Majesty through the leading
thoroughfares of the capital.
The route planned for the procession was as
fallows: It was to start from Buckingham Palace
and proceed along Constitution Hill, Piccadilly,
St. James's Street, Pall Mall, north side of
Trafalgar Square, past the National Gallery,
Duncannon Street, Strand, Fleet Street, Ludgate
Hill, to St. Paul's Cathedral, where a solemn
service of thanksgiving was to be held.
The Queen was then to return to Buckingham
Palace by a circuitous route, proceeding along the
south side of St. Paul's Cathedral to Cheapside,
Mansion House, King William Street, London
Bridge, Borough High Street, Borough Road,
St. George's Circus, Westminster Bridge Road,
Westminster Bridge, Bridge Street, Parliament
Street, Whitehall, the Horse Guards, the Centre
Mall to Buckingham Palace.
The whole line of march of the procession had
been brilliantly decorated ; and decoration, in-
deed, on a more or less extensive scale had been
attempted on private houses and business premises
in all parts of London. There seemed to be a
general resolve to celebrate the great event with
an enthusiasm, a popular accord, and a splendour
which would be without precedent in history.
Early out of Bed.
London — the heart of the Empire — knew 110
rest all night. At dawn the streets were full of
life. Perhaps never before in its history has
there been in London so much wakefulness, so
much rising with the lark. The breakfast hour
was changed from eight to five o'clock. Before
six o'clock, comparatively remote stations were
packed with people.
* * * *
The morning, fortunately, was a pleasant one,
though the sun kept behind the clouds. There
had been promise of rough weather during the
night, but by six o'clock there was the fairest
possible prospect for the day. If there had been
sunshine, the heat would have been oppressive.
As it was, the temperature was cool and agreeable
till the pageant of the day was almost over.
* * *
People from the outlying districts came in their
thousands to London all through the night,
murdering the sleep of the inhabitants on their
lines of inarch. Midnight witnessed men and
women taking their places at the south end of
London Bridge as soon as it was closed for traffic,
and early dawn found spectators occupying posi-
tions in the neighbourhood of Trafalgar Square.
In the Strand many walked up and down the
street all night, determined thus to secure the
most favourable positions. By seven in the
morning the street was thronged with well-
dressed people, and the windows had begun to
fill with spectators who had come at that early hour
to avoid the tremendous crush which everybody
expected would make this narrow thoroughfare
almost impassable as soon as the hour of the
procession approached. But, as it turned out,
tiese loyal citizens might with perfect safety
have left their beds at a much later hour, for
there was no crush in the Strand, and almost up
to the last moment one had no difficulty in
walking from Trafalgar Square to the Law
Courts.
At the West End.
Before seven o'clock multitudes of people
began to pour into the open space round the
statue of the Duke of Wellington at Hyde
Park Corner to secure places to see the pro-
cession, and by eight o'clock the pavements
were lined with sightseers twelve deep, whilst
large numbers overflowed into the roadways,
from which they had to be cleared by the police.
All up Constitution Hill a continuous row of
stands had been erected for the accommodation
of guests. These stands were capable of holding
several thousands, and by half-past eight in the
morning there were left but few available seats
in them.
At Buckingham Palace by nine in the morning
the open space opposite the Palace was already
resplendent with soldiery, and every place where
the general public was admitted was densely
crowded. A brilliant assemblage was collected
in front of the Palace.

Waiting at St. Paul's.
Although the head of the procession could not
reach St. Paul's until noon, the bulk of the seat-
holders in and about the Churchyard had to be
in their places by 9 o'clock ; while all approaches
to the Cathedral were barred, even to privileged
ticket-holders, as early as 10.30 a.m.
* * * *
Jn the vast congregation waiting the arrival
of Her Majesty were many persons distinguished
in politics, art, literature, science, and divinity.
Lord Salisbury, Sir William Harcourt, Mr.
Chamberlain, the Speaker, and the Home Secre-
tary, wore the distinctive uniforms to which their
services to the State entitled them. Repre-
sentative Nonconformists were in black gowns
and college caps, whilst the clergy of the
Establishment, headed by the two Archbishops,
were in surplices and hoods.
A Preliminary Procession of Colonial
Troops.
By a happy thought, it was arranged that a
separate procession of the Colonial troops should
precede the Royal procession proper, and alter-
wards line the north side of the Cathedral and
the footways of Ludgate Hill until the Queen
had passed.
As commander of this notable body of troops a
General was selected — one of the most popular
and striking figures in the British army at the
present time — Field-Marshal Lord Roberts.
* * * *
The Colonial contingent began to fall in on
the Thames Embankment as early as a quarter
to nine, and when the entire procession had
been formed it marched to Buckingham Palace,
proceeding soon after 9 o'clock along the route
?'/a the Mall.
* * * *
The place of honour in the procession had
been given to Canada as the premier Colony,
and the Canadian troops heralded the approach
of one of the most interesting personalities in
the whole procession— the Right Hon. Wilfrid
Laurier, Premier of Canada, who drove in a State
carriage and four, with postilions, accompanied
by Mrs. Laurier.
* * * *
Now followed the rest of the Colonial pro-
cession, The New South Wales Mounted Rifles
the Lancers of the same colony, and the Victoria
Mounted Rifles, accompanied the Premiers of
New South Wales and Victoria, who rode in the
same carriage.
Next came the New Zealand mounted troops,
including several dark-skinned Maoris of fierce
and warlike aspect. They preceded the Premiers
of New Zealand and Queensland, who were
followed by the Queensland Mounted Rifles.
The Cape Mounted Rifles and the South
Australian Lancers marched before and after the
carriage of the Cape and South Australian
Premiers.
The representatives of Newfoundland and
Tasmania followed next, and then appeared the '
Natal Carabiniers, with whom were representa-
tives of the Umvoti, Natal, and Border Mounted
Rifles.
Following the carriage in which sat the j
Premier of Western Australia and the Premier |
of Natal, there came the mounted troops of the
Crown colonies, including the Trinidad Mounted '
Rifles, the Cypriote Zaptiehs, and the Rhodesian
Horse. Various contingents of colonial infantry
prolonged the display, among them being native
police from Borneo and from British Guiana,
Hausas from the Gold Coast and the Niger
regions of Western Africa, Chinese police from
Hong Kong, quaintly attired to the European
eye, Cingalese artillery and infantry, and police
from the Straits Settlements. These last, by
their martial bearing and first-rate marching,
gained all suffrages.
The Colonial procession occupied twenty
minutes in passing a given point.
The Great Procession.
Close in the wake of this preliminary pro-
cession came the second and main pageant.
It had a stately precursor in the person of
Captain Ames, of the 2nd Life Guards, who]
enjoys the reputation of being the tallest man
in the British army, and who, accoutred in th<-'
splendid uniform of his corps, bestrode a magni-
ficent black charger.
Behind him rode four troopers of the 2nd I ife
Guards. Then came a striking and picturesque
contrast. With quick tread and lithenes; in
every movement a large detachment of blue-
jackets came into view, drawing with them ^ix
field guns.
* * * *
Then once more the pageant assumed a mili-
tary aspect as the advanced guard of the 2nd
Life G.uards came into view, followed by the
band of the Royal Horse Anil ery. With a
thunderous roll and a clanking of metal, the
"D" Battery of the Royal Horse Artillery ne\t
swept by.
Then followed a long and brilliant succession
of squadrons of cavalry, a battery of Royal
Horse Artillery concluding the procession of
regiments.
* * * *
With nodding plumes and glittering uniforms
the Aides-de-Camp of the Commander-in-Chief
next rode by.
More striking still, by the variety of uniform
and equipment they presented, were the Aides-
de-Camp of the Queen — military, naval, and
marine— who took the next place iir the pageant.
Immediately behind this cavalcade rode the
Duke of Westminster alone, in the uniform of '
Lord Lieutenant of the County of London,
mounted on a fine bay.
In quick succession came the imposing Head-
quarters' Staff of the Army, followed by truce
Field Marshals. _
Then appeared a bewildering array of varied
uniforms, representing almost every country in
the world. It was the cavalcade of the suites,
equerries, and gentlemen in attendance.
"praise is always pleasant."
The rear of this very cosmopolitan group was
brought up by the noticeable figures of
Major-General Miles, Commander-in-Chief of
the United States Army, and General Hagron,
Chief of the Military Household of the President
of the French Republic.
A slight pause in the procession, and then
rode up the magnificent contingent of officers of
the Imperial Service troops in the pay of the
Indian native princes, under the majestic leader-
ship of Lieutenant-Colonel Maharaj Sir Pertab
Sing, Regent of Jodhpur, and A.D.C. to the
Prince of Wales.
Next came the Carriages.
Now began the long file of carriages. Five
dress landaus and pairs came first, conveying the
foreign Envoys.
Of these, the fourth contained — in some-
what singular association —the Papal Envoy
THE PROCESSION PASSING ALONG FLEET STREET.
"we are kings and queens when we rule ourselves."
(Monsignor Sambucetti), attired in the con-
spicuous garb of an Italian ecclesiastic, and the
Yery Oriental figure of his Excellency Chang
Yin Hun, the Chinese Ambassador.
In the fifth carriage, with the French and
Spanish Envoys, sat the Special Ambassador of
the United States, the Hon. Whitelaw Reid.
Mr. Reid was the only envoy who appeared in
severely plain attire.
The sixth and seventh carriages carried the
ladies of the Household, the Lord Steward, and
the Lord Chamberlain.
The next carriage contained a pretty bevy of
the little granddaughters of the Queen. These
were the Princess Alice of Albany and the
Princesses Alice and Ena of Battenberg.
The next three carriages contained a number
of Princesses of less note. Then appeared a
series of carriages and four. In the first the
seat of honour was occupied by Princess Charles
of Denmark. Opposite to her sat the Duchess
of Teck, and in the same carriage were the
Princess Frederica of Hanover and the Princess
of Bulgaria.
The next carriage bad for occupants the
Duchess of York and Princess Victoria of Wales,
with the Princess Henry of Prussia and the
Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The
Duchess of York was dressed in cream with a
cream bonnet trimmed with pale blue. The
Princess Victoria of Wales, like her sister, was
attired in pink, Princess Henry of Prussia being
dressed in white.
The Duchess of Fife was the most conspicuous
figure in the succeeding carriage, charmingly
attired in white, and with her were the Grand
Duchess of Hesse in heliotrope and yellow, with
the Grand Duchess Serge of Russia and the
Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
The next landau conveyed Princess Henry of
Battenberg, who was dressed entirely in white.
In the same carriage were the Duchess of Saxe-
Coburg and Gotha in pink variegated brocade,
the Duchess of Connaught in cream, and the
Duchess of Albany, who looked especially attrac-
tive, in black and heliotrope.
The next carriage was marked by still greater
distinction. Two of the senior Queen's equerries
rode by its side as a special mark of respect to
its principal occupant, the Empress Frederick of
Germany. The Dowager Empress was dressed
in a beautiful gown of black and white, with
bonnet to match. With her were seated the
Princess Louise in a cream costume and a hat
trimmed with pink, and opposite sat His Royal
Highness the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
and the Crown Prince of Naples.
Then followed a numerous cavalcade of British
and foreign Princes, in the first rank of whom
were included the Duke of Fife and the Marquis
of Lome. This royal bodyguard of princes num-
bered thirty-six in all. Their presence gained
greatly in significance to a public who knew
the ties of blood which bound many among the
lesser potentates to the Sovereign 'whom they
had assembled to honour.
The escort from the regular Indian Army next
clattered by, to the accompaniment of loud
cheers, followed by the Commander-in-Chief,
Viscount Wolseley, with his baton of Field-
Marshal in his hand and riding a splendid black
charger.
Now Comes the Queen Herself.
The eight famous cream horses of pure Hano-
verian breed, clad in heavy trappings of red and
gold, with blue and gold on their manes, and
each led by a Royal groom in gorgeous livery,
now followed slowly, drawing forward the
carriage in which was seated
The Queen,
the central figure of the day's rejoicings.
Her Majesty, it was generally remarked, ap-
peared to be in wonderfully good health and
spirits.
Her Majesty's dress and mantle were of
black silk, both embroidered with steel and
silver. The bonnet was of black lace, with em-
broidery and diamonds, trimmed with a wreath
of white acacia and an aigrette of diamonds.
Her parasol was of white lace.
Opposite to the Queen sat Her Royal High-
ness the Princess ot Wales and Princess Chris-
tian. The Princess of Wales was dressed in a
lovely gown of pale heliotrope, trimmed with
elaborate pearl passementerie, with a bonnet to
match. Princess Christian was dressed in
white, her bonnet being trimmed with crimson.
At the back of the Royal carriage were mounted
the usual two Highland attendants.
* * * *
Immediately in the rear of the Queen's carriage
rode the Prince of Wales in his uniform of Field
Marshal, with the Duke of Connaught on his
right hand and the Duke of Cambridge on his
left. Their Royal Highnesses, needless to say,
shared to the full in the magnificent ovation
accorded to the Queen. Following them came
the Royal Standard, succeeded by the Gentlemen
of the Household, including the Gold Slick of
Scotland, the Marquis of Lothian, in the striking
uniform of the Queen's Scottish Bodyguard.
The rear portion of the escort then filed past,
followed in turn by the fine contingent of the
Royal Irish Constabulary. A squadron of the
Royal Horse Guards brought up the rear of
perhaps the most notable procession that London
has ever witnessed.
The Queen Speaks to her People.
But before following this great procession on
its onward march, we must tell how the Queen,
before setting out, dispatched a message of thanks
and good wishes to her subjects all over the
world. At the Grand Entrance of Buckingham
Palace was placed a telegraphic instrument, and
when Her Majesty left the Palace, just as she
was starting on her progress " for the purpose," J
' NOBLE IS THAT NOBLE DOES.

THE END CROWNS THE WORK.
as the official statement put it, "of seeing her
people and receiving their congratulations," she
touched a button which gave a signal for the
following gracious words to be transmitted into
oil parts ol her dominions : —
From my heart I thank my beloved
people. May God uless them.
V. R. & I.
From Buckingham Palace to Trafalgar
Square.
We have already mentioned the route arranged
for the procession. It started from Buckingham
Palace at a quarter to eleven, and when it
began to move along its appointed course, guns
boomed in Hyde Park and the bells clanged
fom St. Paul's. It seemed then as though the
laggard sun had come to the conclusion that it
was time for him to be up and doing. He was
routed as by a signal, and he did his duty nobly
all the rest of the day.
Up Constitution Hill, past thousands of Civil
servants and their wives comfortably seated under
the cool green trees, round by Hyde Park Corner
into Piccadilly and past the great houses, the
stream of gold and scarlet flowed like a sunlit
river. The sight of it, the glory of it, the know-
ledge of its true meaning, evoked immense en-
thusiasm, devoted, of course, principally to the
Queen. Nor was there room for doubt that Her
Majesty accepted with no ordinBry pleasure, but
with demonstrative delight, the tributes of eager
loyalty which were showered upon her on every
side.
Probably in no part of the route traversed by
the Royal procession were loyalty to the Sove-
reign and a spirit of rejoicing more enthusiastic-
ally expressed in artistic and effective decorations
than in Piccadilly, from Hyde Park Corner to
the top of St. James's Street. Crimson was the
predominating colour in the decoration of houses,
but dark and light blue were introduced in many
instances with striking if not pleasing effect.
* * * *
St. Tames's Street had been transformed
almost beyond recognition. Scarcely a window
was to be seen. They were all obscured by huge
temporary stands, rising up tier upon tier in
many cases, from the basement even to the roof,
and upon them sat hundreds, perhaps thousands,
of fair ladies in the brightest of holiday attire.
The street decorations were universally admired,
and justly so. At the top and at the bottom
of the street stood a pair of handsome gilt
Corinthian columns, while white masts were
planted at short intervals all the way up on
either side, from the tops of which festoons of
flowers spanned the roadway, forming one long
floral bower, the masts themselves being embel-
lished about 10 ft. from the ground with clusters
of natural flowers and surmounted by a crown.
* * * *
Almost every house in Pall Mall is a well-
known club or a public institution ; and the
pavilions, decorated with draperies of every
conceivable colour, which rose tier above tier in
front of these premises, were crowded with men
eminent in the Church, in literature, science,
art, medicine, in all branches of the naval,
military, and civil services, and in politics.
On the side-walk, standing a dozen deep, and
packed close together, were the masses, just as
varied in their character— for here were not only
to be seen the costers from the contiguous i-'even
Dials, but the denizens of the French and Italian
quarters that lie just behind Leicester Square,
just as happy, just as good humoured, as the
favoured occupants of the pavilions, stands, and
windows.
* * * *
At Trafalgar Square, where the Peers sat
below the National Gallery, and at Charing
Cross, the scene was of the most brilliant
description.
The Strand, Fleet Street, and Ludgate
Hill.
The procession now moved up the Strand.
And he:e was witnessed the interesting cere-
monial of the reception of Her Majesty at the
entrance to the City by Lordon's Chief Magis-
trate. At the Griffin, which forms the substitute
for the old and more picturesque, if more ob-
structive, Temple Bar, the Lord Mayor was in
waiting. When Her Majesty arrived, the Lord
Mayor, attended by the other civic officials,
advanced with the mace reversed and presented
what is known as the "Pearl Sword" to the
Queen, at the same time congratulating her upon
her visit to her most loyal City of London. The
Sovereign courteously returned the sword, and
thereupon the Lord Mayer remounted his horse,
and bareheaded rode back at great speed thiough
Fleet Street towards the City in order to receive
the Queen at the Mansion House. The per-
formance gave great amusement to the crowd,
and it was noticed that the Queen, the Princes,
of Wales, and the Princess Christian joined in
the merriment. But the Lord Mayor was an
expert horseman, and sat his animal well.
* * * *
In Fleet Street and Ludgate Hill the pre-
dominating colours of the decorations were
purple and gold. Fqiuire columns, surmounted
by tripods bearing fl )wers, were erected at
short intervals on either side of the street, and
garlands of flowers were stretched from column
to column. The obelisks in Ludgate Circus wee
draped in purple and gold cloth, with embossed
shields and palms.
One of the most pathetic and heart-stirring
spectacles of the whole route traversed by the
Queen was witnessed in Fleet Street, where were
assembled seventy-four of the gallant survivors
of the famous Balaclava charge.
The Open-Air Service at St. Paul's.
Just before half-past eleven the thousands
waiting at St. Paul's saw the proud figure of

'you live but once, so make the most ok life.
Captain Ames mounting the ascent towards the
Cathedral.
* * * *
When the Royal carriages passed into the
Churchyard, they were drawn up in a semi-
circle, so that they formed a brilliant setting to
a brilliant picture. The Queen came in the
midst of pomp unparalleled to the front of the
noble church. Her retinue of princely horse-
men, Indian and European, reined up in a line
inside that, of the Royal carriages.
On the steps of the Cathedral stood the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury with bis two sons as train-
bearers and his chaplain with cross. To the
tight of him was the Archbishop of York with
his train-bearer ; and to the left the Dean of St.
Paul's, the Bishop of London, the Archdeacon of
London, the Bishop of Winchester, and the IXan
of Westminster.
* * * *
As soon as Her Majesty arrived, the open-air
service was proceeded with. First of all, there
was sung, to music by G. C. Martin, Mus.Doc,
Organist of St. Paul's, the " Te Deum Lau-
damus." This was given by five hundred
choristers and accompanied by the massed bands
ol the Royal Aitillery and the School of Military
Music. Then the Dean, Canons, and Minor
Canons said—" O Lord, save the Queen." To
which came the answer, "And mercifully hear
us when we call upon Thee." This was followed
by "The Lord's Prayer." The Bishop of
London said a special prayer composed for the
occasion. The Archbishop of Canterbury then
pronounced the Benediction, and after that was
sung "All people that on earth do dwell.''
* * * *
As soon as the Queen's carriage had drawn up
in front of the great steps a copy of the service,
bound in roval red, had been handed in. The
Princess of Wales took it, and offered it to the
Queen. Her Majesty preferred, however, to be
unencumbered, and during the singing of the
"Te Deum" the Queen absorbed eveiy feature
of the scene before her, raising her eye-glasses
now in this direction and now in that.
During the prayer and the Benediction, Her
Majesty bowed her head reverently. When
ihe Old Hundredth was struck up, the Queen
was much touched, and her lips moved in unison
with the vast congregation.
* * * *
When the previously-arranged programme of
the service came to an end, there followed
perhaps the most impressive incident of the
service. The choir and multitude, by a com-
mon impulse, burst into the strains of " God Save
the Queen."
At the conclusion of the National Anthem the
Archbishop of Canterbury, departing from the
prescriptions of etiquette, called for three cheers
for the Queen — an invitation which was answered
with indescribable fervour. This appeared to
give much pleasure to Her Majesty, who smiled
and bowed repeatedly.
* * * *
When the service was over — it did not last
more than a quarter of an hour — there was an
interval of five or ten minutes while the other
carriages in the Queen's procession were falling
into line again, and the foreign princes, who had
formed a semicircle two deep round the Cathedral
railings, got under weigh.
Ihe Queen seemed still anxious to take in
every feature of the remarkable scene, and her
eyeglasses were never idle. She then beckoned
to the Bishop of London, who was standing im
mediately in front of the carriage door, and
chatted smilingly with him for a minute or two.
She then motioned to the Archbishop, who
also conversed with Her Majesty. The Bishop
of London was then again sent for, and had some
further conversation with the Queen.
Her Majesty then turned to the other side,
and beckoned in turn to the Prince of Wales,
the Duke of Cambridge, and the Duke of
Connaught.
From St. Paul's.
When the procession resumed its march, the
sixteen carriages containing the Envoys, the
Princes, and the Princesses preceded that of the
Queen. Passing the serried ranks and tiers of
sightseers on the south side of St. Paul's, the
Queen again stirred the popular enthusiasm to
its depths ; and the Colonial Contingent, passing
over this portion of the route for the second time,
enjoyed further prcof of the extreme goodwill
with which it was regarded by the British people.
The advance was now along Cheapside iu the
direction of the Mansion House.
* * * *
Her Majesty arrived at the Mansion House at
a quarter to one, calling forth a great demonstra-
tion of loyalty on all sides, in cheering and the
waving of hats and handkerchiefs. When the
carriage reached the centre of the pavement in
front of the Mansion House, where a red doth
had been laid down, the Lord Mayor presented
the Lady Mayoress to Her Majesty, and the
Lady Mayoress offered to the Queen a bouquet
contained in a silver basket. Her Majesty
graciously accepted the offering with a bow.
The ceremony only lasted a few moments,
and when it was finished the Queen's carriage
drove off amid renewed cheering.
* * * *
In King William Street private effort had not
expended itself lavishly in decoration. The
buildings on either side of the road were but
sparsely adorned with flags and drapery, and ot
originality or elaboration of design there was
but little to be seen. The decorations of the
street proper were, however, on a more ambi-
tious scale. The famous Monument was also
decorated so as to be hardly recognisable.
* * * *
On the decoration of London Bridge it-
self every care and effort had been lavished.
NONE CAN BE GOOD TOO SOON.
THE QUEENS CARRIAGE PASSING ALONG PALL MALL.
( Plioto by EymmonSx do, Chancery Lane. J
Venetian masts were placed on either side at
spaces of about twenty yards. From these de-
pended double festoons of evergreens twined wiih
many-coloured ribbons, the upper festoon hanging
between pole and pole in one long, graceful curve,
and ihe lower arranged in a number of shorter
curves. Banners and bunting flew from every
mast.
Crossing London Bridge, the Queen obtained
a good view of the new Tower Bridge, the
bascules of which were raised and lowered in
order lo exhibit to Her Majesty the actual work-
ing of the bridge. The public were excluded
from London Bridge, and a strong force of Volun-
teers lined it on both sides.
From the bridge the procession took the
route by way of the Borough High Street, the
Borough Road, St. George's Circus, and West-
minster Bridge Road. The loyalty of the
crowds on this part of the route was in every
way equal to that displayed in the City, and
the good behaviour was also excellent. Some
very large stands on the route were occupied by
great "crowds of people.
In the Neighbourhood of the Houses
of Parliament.
Westminster Bridge was kept clear of spec-
tators dining the passing of the procession, but
fcridge Street had every available inch of foot-
way occupied, and the stands for the accommo-
dation of Members, officials, and journalists,
erected on Speaker's Green and in New Palace
Yard, being largely tenanted by ladies, pre-
sented a brilliant appearance.
* * * *
Upwards of 600 members gave in their names
for places on the Speaker's Green Stand ; but a
number of these— Cabinet Ministers, Household
officials and others — were unable to attend per-
sonally, having duties to discharge elsewhere.
Nevertheless, there was a large and representative
gathering, and Her Majesty was obviously im-
pressed by the warmth of the greeting accorded
to her as she passed the legislative precincts.
The head of the procession reached the Houses
of Parliament at 1.30 precisely. When the
Queen's carriage appeared in sight the occupants
of the Members'stand rose in a body, and Radicals
vied with Unionists in demonstrating in practical
fashion their loyalty to the Throne.
* * * *
Towards Whitehall a scheme of combined
decoration was afforded by an avenue of flagstaff's
profusely garlanded with wreaths and festoons.
J he individual adornments in Parliament Street
were also effective, but without any striking
originality, unless one excepts the quaintly-
worded inscription, " 60, not out, and well
played ! " in which the technicalities of the
national game were pressed into the service of
congratulation.
To many of those who witnessed the spectacle
in this neighbourhood must have occurred the
thought that here, in the hour of perhaps the
greatest triumph that the principle of Monarchy
has ever achieved in this country, Her Majesty
was passing the historic scene of its greatest
tragedy.
* * * *
The Treasury, as befitting the guardian office
of the national purse, exhibited a severe frugality
in the scope of its decorations. The Home and
Colonial Offices were, however, judiciously em-
bellished with trophies of national colours sur-
rounding shields which bore appropriate arms.
The Return to Buckingham Palace.
Before one o'clock the troops who had been
employed in the neighbourhood of Buckingham
Palace returned, after having had refreshments
served out to them, to their former positions in
front of the Palace, and the guards of honour
were re-formed.
The Royal procession came straight clown the
centre avenue of the Mall, and the troops com-
posing it turned off to the right on reaching the
roadway in front of the Palace and passed up
Constitution Hill for the second lime. This
course was followed by all the procession except
the mounted foreign representatives, the escorts
of Royal Princes, and the Indian escort, who
formed into semicircles on either side of the outer
gates, and there awaited, a glittering throng, the
arrival of the Queen. This was probably as fine
a scene as any that had been witnessed through-
out the whole length of the route.
The stately progress of Her Majesty past
Carlton House Terrace and the gardens of St.
James's Palace, Marlborough House, and
Clarence House, in all of which garden stands
had, of course, been erected, was marked by
enthusiasm as indisputable as that shown two
hours before.
When the Royal carriage, drawn by the eight
celebrated cream-coloured horses, with their
trappings of gold and brilliant ribands, ap-
proached the Palace, and when all the assembled
Princes — many of whom are to be rulers in their
turn— saluted the Sovereign, it would have been
impossible to exceed the fervour of the popular
demonstration.
* * * *
Thus, then, did Her Majesty's jubilee progress,
or rather triumph, end. Surrounded by the
Princes of all the great Kingdoms of the world
she re-entered her Palace, as she had left it,
amid manifestations of loyalty and love.
* * * *
Her Majesty left the Palace at a quarter to
eleven, and she returned at a quarter to two, so
that the procession and service together occupied
exactly three hours.
A Royal salute of sixty guns fired from the
Guards' ground in Hyde Park announced that
the Queen had completed her Royal progress.
How Many People Saw the Procession ?

an estimate of rather over a million and a half of
people, the details roughly being as follows : —
Persons in the streets 400,000
Seatholders in houses and shops 650,003
Seatholders on grand stands . . 5co,oco
Total 1,550,000
Few Accidents to Sightseers.
An interesting feature of the day was the work
of the St. John's Ambulance Brigade, which
undertook the relief uf those who should be hurt
or overcome by the heat. The force consisted of
fourteen litters, seven waggons, 102 nursing
sisters, forty surgeons, and over 700 men, in-
cluding inspectors and assistants.
* * * *
Over 1,000 calls were made on the department
during the day. The great majority of the
attacks of illness were fainting fits, most of
which were sufficiently treated to allow of the
sufferers returning to their homes at once. The
number of serious accidents was unprecedented!)'
low.
The Metropolis Illuminated.
At night London was a blaze of illumination.
There never was witnessed anything like it
before, and in no capital of any nation was ever
so much money expended for the purpose of
commemorating a great reign or a momentous
event as in the chief and mother city of the
various realms ruled over by Queen Victoria.
* * * *
The illuminations in the City were truly mag-
nificent, befitting, indeed, the exceptional event
which they were intended to commemorate.
They were also on a most extensive scale, there
being not a single thoroughfare of any impor-
tance throughout the one square mile which did
not have some display more or less noteworthy.
In many side streets, too, there was some token,
humble thougli it might be, to, show the love
that is felt for the Queen.
* * * *
The electric illumination of St. Paul's dome
was unique. The work was done on the search-
light system, the light being thrown on ' the
building by seventy search lights, chiefly worked
from the summits of neighbouring houses. The
cross was strongly illuminated, and the dome
appeared to be lighted from within. The whole
light thrown on the dome was calculated to be
equal to the illuminating power of 140,000
candles.
* * * *
There was a superb display at the Mansion
House. The columns of the edifice were de-
corated with wreaths and baskets of flowers.
On the top of the pediment was shown the
" Star of India," while outlining the facade and
a portion of the side of the building were pris-
matic gas globes. The Royal crown was
encircled by a wreath of laurels in incandescent
gas lamps, and flanked on either side by the
letters " V.R." in crystal gas lamps. The floral
decorations entwining the columns were illu-
minated with prismatic gas globes. Along the
top of the building were twelve tripods with
Roman flares. On the balcony steps were nine '
candelabra of prismatic gas lamps, each of which
contained thirty lights. On the top of the side
elevation of the Mansion House was placed a
radiant sun in open gas, with the Royal mono-
gram.
* * * *
On this display at the Mansion House about
35,000 gas jets were used. The variegated lamps
with which the whole facade was lined numbered
about 5,000.
The Bank of England was elaborately treated.
Lines of crystal and amber illumination lamps
were traced across the building from end to end,
falling along the lowest row into festoons looped
up with bows in deep ruby. The plinth over the
centre portico bore the appropriate legend from
Tennyson's " Ode to the Queen " : "She wrought
her people lasting good." Over the legend
appeared a cut crystal crown.
The illumination on the front of the Royal
Exchange was extremely simple, the object being
to obtain the necessary effect as far as possible
from the lines of the building. The pediment
and frieze were outlined in small star-shaped gas
flames. Round the columns themselves were
traced continuous spiral lines of amber illumina-
tion lamps, the amber being a tint of special
richness and purity. Cut crystal letters " V.R."
and arborescent dates appeared between the
columns.
On London Bridge the illuminations were most
effective. Festoons of gas lamps were placed
above the whole length of the parapets on both
sides of the bridge, the lamps being carried by
posts and the gas standards. The lamps
ordinarily used on the latter had been removed.
Temporary gas pipes had been put up, each of
which bore ten large globes.
In nearly all the thoroughfares of the West End
the various devices in light and colour were some-
thing to be for ever remembered. Considerations
of space unfortunately prevent our entering into
details.
* * * *
In Piccadilly and St. James's Street the illu-
minations were of a particularly attractive
character. There was scarcely a single building
which had not some kind of illuminative display ;
and these combined with the street illuminations
and decorations in producing a blaze of light and
colour. Many of the illuminations had been so
arranged as to have varying degrees of brilliancy
in different parts, one T^art attracting attention
by its brightness and another by its richness of
tint, which is essential to a good effect. By this
means considerable variety was given to the
whole composition.
* * * *
Taken altogether, the illuminations of London
were worthy of the great city. It was no wonder
"great actions encourage greater."
that the vast and splendid display attracted im-
mense crowds.
Rejoicings at Home and Abroad.
The celebrations and rejoicings in all parts of
balloon ascents, public balls and displays of
fireworks, were some of the many forms in which
the public enthusiasm manifested itself. Many
towns were profusely decorated, and in others
there were illuminations at night.
MARLBOROUGH HOUSE ENTRANCE: DUKE OF YORK S CHILDREN IN CARRIAGE.
( Fho/o by Thomas, 4i~Cheapside.,
Great Britain were not less general or hearty than
n London. The opening of public parks and build-
ngs in commemoration of the Jubilee, the unveil-
ng of statues, the laying of foundation stones, the
planting of trees, monster demonstrations and
processions, feasts to poor people, entertainments
to school children, the firing of royal salutes.
In all the British colonies and foreign posses-
sions the Jubilee was celebrated wth remarkable
cordiality. The English-speaking residents of
many foreign towns also held fetes to mark the
occasion. There were festivities at nearly all
the British embassies and legations. Indeed,
it may lie said that wherever our countrymen
" PROVE YOUR WISDOM ; LIFE IS SHORT.'
were found there was merriment of some kind
in honour of the event.
Bonfires all over the Country.
All over the country bonfires, which had been
prepared in readiness for a simultaneous display
of beacons, were lighted at 10 o'clock.
* * * *
The total number of fires in England, under
the auspices of the Diamond Jubilee Bonfire
Committee, was 1,981 ; in Scotland, 30:, of
which 53 were in Orkney and Shetland ; in Ire-
land, 93 ; in Wales, 162 ; in the Channel Islands,
6 ; and in France, 1.
The largest number of fires counted from any
point was from the Mendip Hills, where more
than 200 were seen, the fires in South Wales
being especially beautiful. From Broadway, in
Worcestershire, 142 were counted, and trom
many places from 70 to 100 were reported to
have been seen.
Considerable interest, not only in Scotland,
but in the whole of Great Britain, centred in the
loyal demonstration that was to be given on the
summit of I!en Nevis, the highest point in Her
Majesty's home dominions. Unfortunately,
however, the weather was unpropitious, rain
falling in a continuous drizzle. The bonfire,
however, was lit at half-past ten. It was fifteen
feet high and made a cheerful blaze, but no other
light was visible. Nothing could be seen but
mist, alas !
Law-makers at Buckingham Palace.
On Wednesday, the 23rd of June, the Queen
was again called upon to bear a prominent part
in ceremonies commemorating her Diamond
Jubilee. Early in the afternoon she received
separately each House of the Legislature, who
waited upon her — the Peers headed by the Lord
Chancellor, and the Commons by the Speaker —
to present to her addresses of congratulation.
Unfortunately, by some mismanagement, a
large proportion of the Members of the House of
Commons had reason for feeling aggrieved and
disappointed with the manner in which they
fared in the Palace. Many, indeed, failed to
witness the brief ceremony which brought them
there.
Town Councillors, Provosts and Mayors.
On the same day on which Her Majesty
received the Lords and Commons she received
representative County Councillors, Provosts and
Mayors,
She also inspected in the Palace grounds the
Yeomen of the Guard — a Royal Body-guard
with over four hundred years of history.
Ten Thousand Children.
But the great event of the day was the review
by Her Majesty of the least warlike portion of
her subjects, the children of the Elementary
Schools. They were gathered together to the :•
number of io,coo on the temporary stands on 1
Constitution Hill. It was a sort of Queen's s
Garden Party in little, for each child had milk,
and a bun and sweets at Her Majesty's bidding, .
as well as a souvenir medal.
As the Queen, accompanied by the Empress •
Frederick, Princess Christian, the Duke of
York, and other royalties, in succeeding car-
riages, drove through the long lines of boys and
girls, she was received with tremendous cheer-
ing ; and she paused to receive addresses on
behalf of various denominations of schools.
An Evening of Rest.
The Queen, after reviewing the ten thousand
children, proceeded to Windsor, finding that
pi ice in a fever of Jubilee. She now settled down
at home in her castle, and entitled, if ever queen
or woman was, to an evening of absolute peace
and rest.
Jubilee Dinners to the Poor.
On the following day — Thursday, 24th June —
the Prince and Princess of Wales were prominent
at the Jubilee dinners to the poor, which owed
their origin to Her Royal Highness's suggestion.
The Princess, while expressing regret that she
could not be present at all the dinners for '' my
poor," personally visited some of the centres at
which, to the number of 300,000, they were
entertained. One of these was the People's
Palace, set aside for the entertainment of 1,600
crippled children of the East End, whose ages
ranged from ihree to thirteen. Earl Compton
made a speech of welcome, to which the Prince
of Wales responded, before 6oolb of bee f , hun-
dreds of fruit-pies, and thousands ol oranges,
were demolished.
Children, Firemen and Eton Boys.
The Jubilee festivities at Windsor, of which
the tjueen was the central figure, on Friday, the
25th of June, were comparatively homely affairs.
Her Majesty inspected some five or six thousand
happy children, gathered from the schools of
Windsor and the surrounding districts, and who
had been entertained at tea in the Home Park.
Merry-go-i»unds and swings were provided for
their amusement.
The proceedings with the children were not
long, but they were pleasant and even touching.
The brightest scene of all was when the little
people, singing really admirably, gave '"God
Save the Queen" with their childish voices.
* * * *
Next, the Queen inspected a magnificently
representative array of firemen from all parts of
the country, and the Royal borough was alive
with brass helmets and firemen's axses.
Lastly, the Queen was present at torch and
lamp light manoeuvres by the Eton boys, and
heard their voices in a selection of songs.
A Brilliant Company.
A dejeuner was given on this day by the Lord
Mayor and Lady Mayoress in celebration of Her
Majesty's Diamond Jubilee, and was attended
by probably the most brilliant company that has
ever been gathered together at the Mansion
House. In addition to the Prince and Princess
of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of York, and
other members of our Royal Family, the guests
included the foreign Princes and Princesses and
In line after line, amounting together to a
length of nearly thirty miles, as symmetrically
arranged and daintily dressed as the finest

and were reviewed by the Prince and Princess of

on the invitation of the Queen.
The Greatest Naval Review ever seen.
One of the most impressive and splendid sights
that has ever been witnessed since the earliest
days of naval warfare was the Naval Review
held in honour of the Diamond Jubilee at
Spithead on Saturday, the 26th of June. It
was in some respects an even more remark-
able and characteristic feature of the national
rejoicings than the great procession of the
22nd.
Wales on behalf of Her Majesty. The spectacle
was witnessed by ships of all the Great Powers
of the world.
The British war vessels were arranged in four
long and two short lines along the noble anchor-
age between Portsmouth Harbour and the Isle
of Wight, and outside them were two other lines,
one composed of the war-vessels sent by foreign
Powers to represent them at the review, and the
other of special merchant vessels, which were
crowded wi'h guests and visitors.
* * * *
The review attracted thousands of persons to
" HE WHO STANDS HIGH IS SEEN FROM AFAR."
Portsmouth. By Thursday night there was not
a garret to be let, and on the evening after the
review, owing to the closing of the shops in the
day, there was even a scarcity of food. Even at
some of the best-known restaurants breakfast
could not be obtained on Saturday morning
except by lodgers, and at one or two places
chance customers could not even obtain dry
bread.
The weather on the morning of the 26th was
fine, and it fortunately remained so during the
whole course of the review. The atmosphere
was fairly clear, and there was enough breeze to
blow out the bunting and stir the surface of the
water.
* * * *
From an early hour till close on the time
appointed for the review, there was a continuous
arrival at Portsmouth of trains, special and
other, from London and elsewhere, filled with
intending spectators.
Among the first to arrive were the Colonial,
Asiatic, and African troops, who marched from
the railway station to the Town Hall, where they
were greeted with an address of welcome by the
Mayor, and then proceeded, amid loud demon-
strations of popular enthusiasm, to Southsea
Pier, where th?y embarked on the steamer
Koh-i-noor.
Nearly all t'ie foreign Princes and other
distinguished visitors who had come to England
for the Jubilee, a very large proportion of the
member- ot both Houses of Parliament, and
other p. -uiinent persons were among those pre-
sent at the review.
The Prince of Wales, accompanied by the
Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and the Duke of
York, reached Portsmouth shortly after one
o'clock, and went immediately on board the
Royal yacht Victoria ami Albert.
Precisely at two, the guns of a Royal salute on
shore announced that the Royal yacht was under
way, and a few minutes afterwards she was seen
slowly steaming towards the Fleet, preceded, in
accordance with ancient prescription, by the
Trinity yacht Irene.
The procession of yachts which followed in-
cluded the Victoria ami Albert ; the Cartkage,
with the Royal guests and their suites ; the
Alberta, with other distinguished visitors ; the
Admiralty yacht Enchantress ; the Wildfire,
with Mr. Chamberlain and the colonial Premiers ;
the Eldorado, with the foreign Ambassadors ;
the Danube, with the members of the House of
Lords ; the Campania, with the members of the
House of Commons ; and the Eire Queen, with
the guests of the Commander-in-Chief.
This distinguished company proceeded to
steam along a track which took them successively
between all the lines of war-vessels.
When the Victoria and Albert reached the
head of the lines the Royal salute was taken up
by the first division, taking its time from the flag-
ship, and was subsequently repeated at intervals
as the appointed stations were passed, each ship
successively saluting the Royal Admiral as he
passed, and giving him three lusty cheers from
the whole of the ships' company.
When the procession again reached the head
of the lines the majority of the ships left for
their respective stations, but the Victoria and '
Albert, preceded by the Irene and followed by
the Alberta, turned again so as to pass between
the vessels of the Fleet, and came to an anchor
in the space provided for her abreast of the
Renown, the temporary flagship of the Com-
mander-in-Chief.
Here all the flag officers present were received
by His Royal Highness, and when this ceremony
was concluded the Royal yacht weighed anchor
and returned to Portsmouth, receiving as she left
the lines three simultaneous cheers from every
ship in the fleet.
Shortly after the Prince of Wales had returned
in the Royal yacht to Portsmouth Harbour the
following general signal was made to the Fleet by
Admiral Sir Nowell Salmon, the Commander-in-
Chief:—
" I am commanded by the Prince of Wales, as
representing the Queen, to express his entire
satisfaction with the magnificent naval display at
Spithead and the perfect manner in which all the
arrangements were carried out, and at his request
I order the mainbrace to be spliced."
The latter part of the signal refers, it may be
explained for the benefit of landsmen, to^n extra
ration of grog.
* * * *
So far the weather had been in all respects
worthy of the occasion. Clouds, however, had
gathered, and the Royal party had scarcely
landed when a violent thunderstorm began. The
rain fell with tropical violence, almost blotting
out a view of the ships even in adjacent lines,
and the thunder and lightning demonstrated the
superiority of nature to the puny efforts of man
in providing a Royal salute not unworthy of the
majesty of the occasion.
A Wonderful Illumination.
At six o'clock the prospects of the evening's illu-
minations seemed to be quite hopeless, and were
certainly as black as a thunderstorm could make
them. But evidently Nature was only taking
her share in the festivities of the day, and re-
frained from marring their punctuality or pre-
cision by occupying more time than could be
allotted for her contribution to the proceedings.
By nine o'clock all was fair again, and so far as
the spectacle was concerned the only effect of the
thunderstorm was to leave a canopy of heavy but
happily rainless clouds to darken the twilight of
a summer sky.
* * * *
At the appointed moment, a quarter past nine,
the Fleet, whose individual features had been
gradually fading away in the gloaming, suddenly
burst into an exquisite glare of universal but
ordered light. The effect was enchanting alike
in its suddenness and in its unexampled beauty.
* * * *
Between nine and ten the Prince of Wales
came out in one of the smaller Royal yachts, the

Alberta, and steamed again through the lines to
witness the illuminations, but as the yacht carried
no lights except navigation lights, her passing
attracted only momentary attention, and no
ceremony was observed. On the Prince's return
to the harbour soon after eleven, by which time
the night was exceptionally dark for midsummer,
and therefore unusually conducive to the bril-
liancy of the spectacle, a final Royal salute was
fired simultaneously from all the warships in the
anchorage. The effect was again superb. E \c\\
ship became wreathed in masses of luminous
smoke through which the flashes of the guns
gleamed red and lurid.
The last Royal salute was the formal close of
this memorable day. The illuminations were
still continued for a short space, but at midnight
the flagship " switched off," and in little more
than a minute all the Fleet was dark. Then was
seen what had hardly been noticed before— that
the steamers, large and small, and the yachts and
other vessels which surrounded the warships on
all sides had contributed not a little to the
splendour of a spectacle which no one who
witnessed it is ever likely to forget. Their
illuminations remained brilliant for a short time
longer, but soon the riding lights of countless
vessels alone were visible, while overhead the
stars, long obscured in the gloom left by the
thunderstorm, began to reassert the eternal
supremacy which human effort had dared for a
few moments to rival and eclipse.
The Queen Gives a Garden Party.
A garden party was held at Buckingham Palace
on Monday, June the 28th. which was favoured
with Queen's weather, and may be regarded as
one of the most interesting and successful in-
cid nts of the Jubilee.
It was nn the great lawn of Buckingham
Palace garden, surrounded by tastefully deco-
rated tents, that the garden party was held.
Some of these tents were for refreshments, others
for music, and others simply as resting-places
for those who might find the heat of the sun too
oppressive. It is said that there were no fewer
than fi,oa-> persons present, but there was not
the slightest appearance of crowding.
* * * *
The Queen left Windsor Castle shortly before
noon and returned to town, visiting Kensington,
where her coming was the signal for a great
demonstration.
Shortly after five o'clock her Majesty, accom-
panied by the Empre-s Frederick, appeared at
the garden party in a victoria, drawn by a pair
of grey horses, and preceded by an outrider in
scarlet livery. Her Majesty drove slowly twice
round the lawn, bowing to her guests.
On arriving at the tent Her Majesty alighted
and sat down on a seat prepared for her. sur-
rounded by her family and the more distinguished
foreign guests If ere she remained until nearly
seven o'clock, when she returned to the Palace
in the victoria, again accompanied by the
Empress Frederick, and respectfully saluted by
all present. In the evening, after having held a
brief farewell reception of the Royal visitors
and special envoys, her Majesty returned to
Windsor.
Schoolboy Volunteers, Public Bodies and
Poor Folk.
On the afternoon of Tuesday, the 29th of
June, the Queen reviewed in Windsor Great
Park the Public School Volunteers, who were
present in three battalions, of a total strength of
3,679, under the command of Viscount Falmouth.
The magnificent body of soldierly lads whom
the Queen reviewed were the representatives of
the great schools, public and private, in England
and Scotland, which support the volunteer move-
ment. No fewer than thirty-three schools were
represented.
On the following day, the 30th June, the
Queen received and acknowledged at Windsor
Castle loyal addresses of congratulations from
the Corporation of Windsor, the Military
Knights of Windsor, and the Corporation of
Heading.
Several hundreds of aged poor men and women
were entertained to dinner and tea in the after-
noon of the 30th, upon the Royal demesne, oppo-
site the " slopes " at the Castle. Their ages ranged
from sixty years upwards, and all thoroughly
enjoyed the holiday. Tea was served at five
o'clock. The Queen and the Empress Frederick
drove to the Ride opposite the " slopes " shortly
after half-past six o'clock to see the old people.
Their Majesties were loudly cheered by the
men and the womea waved their handkerchiefs
as the Royal visitors drove slowly a'ong the
avenue, and graciously acknowledged the loyal
salutations of the crowds.
A Great Review at Aldershot.
A review at Aldershot, when nearly 30,000
British soldiers, including a representative body
of troops from the colonies and dependencies of
the Crown, were paraded before the Queen,
formed an appropriate and characteristic feature
of the festivities of the Jubilee.
* * * *
The Queen, accompanied by several other
members of the Royal Family, left Windsor
Castle shortly after three o'clock on the afternoon
of the 1st of July, and travelled by the South-
western Railway to Farnlorough to witness the
Jubilee review.
The total strength of the assembled force was
27,359 officers and men, 5,029 horses, and 57
guns.
Great numbers of spectators also travelled
down from London, and the scene on Laffan's
Plain when the troops were assembled and the
spacious stands were crowded with spectators
was a brilliant one. The greensward and the
dark background of firs formed an admirable
background for the many-hued spectacle. The
weather was real Queen's weather.
SOW GOOD WORKS, AND THOU SHALT REAP GLADNESS.
Th^ Queen arrived on the review ground
shortly after four o'c ock, and was greeted by a
Royal salute from the guns and by loud cheers
from the crowds of spectators. The march-past
of the troops took place immediately after the
was followed by the Royal departure from the
review ground.
Colonial Troops at Windsor.
The Jubilee event of the 2nd of July was the

Queen's arrival at the Roval enclosure, the post
of honour being assigned to the Colonial and
Indian and African forces. After one or two
other manoeuvres had been executed, the in-
fantry line advanced and gave the Royal
salute, following it with a roar of cheers. This
inspection bv the Queen, at Windsor, of the
Colonial and Indian troops, to the number of
76 officers and 86S non-commissioned officers
and men.
The men were entertained at dinner in
marquee-s in the Home Park, and the officers

in the Castle. At five in the afternoon the troops
Were drawn up in line in a part of the Home
Park bordering on the Thames, and Her
Majesty rode past and inspected them in her
carriage. They then marched past, and Lord
Robert?, at the Queen's command, expressed the
great pleasure it had given her to see so many of
her subjects from the different colonies there.
She hoped they would return to their homes
in safety, and wished them every happiness
and prosperity.
A number of officers and representatives from
each contingent having been presented to Her
Majesty, the review closed with a Royal salute
and the playing of the National Anthem.
Entertaining Members of the House of
Commons.
On the afternoon of Saturday, the 3rd of July,
the Queen gave a garden party at Windsor
Castle to the members of the House of Commons
and their wives. The guests included nearly
every Member of the House except the Irish
Nationalists. They gathered principally on the
lawn in front of the east terrace, where, shortly
after five o'clock, Her Majesty drove in a Vic-
toria, accompanied by the Duchess of Saxe-
Coburg, and a large number of members were
presented to her at her special request. The
Queen remained among her guests, who num-
bered close on 1,500, for about an hour, and
shortly after her withdrawal they returned to
London.
* * * *
This pleasant and successful garden party
made amends to the House of Commons for the
misunderstanding which we mentioned in con-
nection with the presentation of the address on
Wednesday, the 23rd of June, by which many
Members had not the pleasure of seeing Her
Majesty, or Her Majesty the pleasure of
seeing them.
Jubilee Medals for Indian Officers.
At an inspection of Colonial troops bv the
Prince of Wales at Buckingham Palace on Satur-
day, the 3rd of July, the Prince distributed with
his own hand the special medal designed for the
Diam-nd Jubilee to each individual member of
the Colonial and other Imperial forces which had
sent contingents on the great occasion. But the
officers of the Imperial Service troops and the
officers of the Indian native cavalry in England
at the moment were not present on that occasion.
The reason was that the Queen, having regard
to their small number, and to the closeness of the
connection between Great Britain and the Indian
Empire, had decided that her strength would not
be overstrained if she decorated them with her
own hand. That proceeding took place on the
5th of July, on the lawn beneath the East
Terrace of Windsor Castle.
Various Events of the Diamond Jubilee.
We have now enumerated the chief events of
this greit celebration. Many must remain tin-
described, for to speak of all that happened would
require volumes. There were State receptions, ,
banquets, balls, and evening parties, attended by
all the rank and fashion there crowded into the
metropolis. The poor, too, had their festivals, .
a wise charity finding plenty of occupation in '1
ministering to the wants of those who seldom 1
experience the blessing of a good square meal.
We might enlarge upon these features and give
particulars, too, of the numerous presents received
by Her Majesty from her own ch'ldren and
grandchildren, from her household, from foreign
potentates, and from her admiring subjects at
home and abroad. We might speak of the long
list of honours announced in connection with the
Jubilee, and of the distribution of medals to
mark the occasion. But enough has been told
to show that the Diamond Jubilee celebration
was a triumphant success, and the most remark-
able event of the kind ever witnessed anywhere.
A Letter from the Queen.
A dignified and touching letter was addressed
by Her Majesty to her people from Windsor
Castle on the 15th of July. It was a message of
thanks, divested of all the formalities of a Court
and filled with true human sympathies for the
"spontaneous and universal outburst of loyal
attachment" from all her subjects throughout
the vast Empire over which she rules, which had
greeted her on the completion of the sixtieth
year of her reign.
The letter was as follows : —
WINDSOR CASTIJ-,
July /J, 'S97.
I have frequently expressed my personal feel-
ings to my people, and though on this memorable
occasion there have been many official expres-
sions of my deep sense of the unbounded loyalty
evinced, I cannot rest satisfied without person-
ally giving utterance to these sentiments.
It is difficult for me on this occasion to say
how truly touched and grateful I am for the
spontaneous and universal outburst of loyal
attachment and real affection which I have
experienced on the completion of the Sixtieth
year 0/ my Reign.
During my progress through London on tlie
22nd of June this great enthusiasm was shown
in the most striking manner, and can never be
effaced from my heart.
It is indeed deeply gratifying, «- f ter s ° «««*>
fears of labour and anxiety for the good of my
beloved country, to find that my exertions have
been appreciated throughout my vast Empire.
In weal and woe I have ever had the true
sympathy of all my people, which has been
warmly reciprocated by myself.
It has given me unbounded pleasure to see so
many of my subjects from all parts of the world
assembled here,' and to find them joining in the
acclamations of loyal devotion to myself, and I
would wish to thank them all from the depth oj
my grateful heart.
I shall ever pray God to bless them and to
enable me still to discharge my duties for their
welfare as long as life lasts.
