The first two were war swords while the third was the curtana or sword of mercy.

O'Conor Don. whose ancestors have been banner carriers for sev eral hundred years. By him walked Henry Scrymgeour Wedderburn, bearing the lion of Scotland. Behind them with the leopard banner of England walked P. S. Dymoke. whose ancestors were King's champions. Formerly after the King had been crowned they appeared before him in full armor and casting a glove on the ground invited all who disputed the King's accession to come on and fight. Nobody ever accepted the invitation. Dymoke was anxious to hurl defiance in the traditional manner, but Edward wouldn't have it and compromised with him by letting him carry a After D.v-moKC walked the Duke of Wellington carrying the four part banner of the United Kingdom. The Duke had a boy page in hip stockings and tunic walking behind to carry his coronet. The Duke, as all other peers, wore a long crimson robe with an ermine fur cape. All wore satin knee breeches and silk stockings, and those who were entitled to such a decoration wore a conspicuous garter on the left lt;g below the knee. We have them. The crowd were hardly shouting with admiration when more waving plumes of the household cavalry betokened the King's approach.

Despite superstitious predictions to the. contrary, and notwithstanding his precarious physical condition, Edward VII. lias become the crowned head of tlie Empire of Great Britain, the coronation ceremony having been performed today, according to the postponed programme. There was not a Single hitch in the plans. The royal pageant left Buckingham Palace promptly at 11 o'clock and arrived at. Westminster Abbey at 11.2(1. The act Of crowning took place at exactly 12.21 p. m. As soon as the crown had been placed on the King's head, a signal was flashed from the gallery of the Abbey to a man on the rcof of the building, who. In turn, telegraphed tho news to llyde Park and the Tower of London. At those places, immediately upon the receipt of the news that tho real act of crowning had been per formed, the artillery fired salute after salute. Thus the whole city became acquainted with the fact that their sovereign had at last received the royal crown. Soon the bells of the city began to ling and tile streets reverberated with acclamations of joy from tire populace. The morning opened with l*rilliant sunshine, but later the sky was overcast.

Then four Knights of the Garter who later were to hold a can opy over the King. Each had a page to carry his coronet. After them were the Lord Chamberlain, the Lord Steward, the President of the Council and the Lord Privy Seal. The last was Mr. Balfour, whose ceremonial duties, usually of almost farcial inconse quence, today gave him a better place than he would have received as Prime Minister and virtual ruler of the Empire.Then an interval and the King, the central figure of the pageant, entered. He wore a crimson robe with an enormous train, the collar of the Order of the Barter, and on his bead was a crimson cap in place of a crown.

From the outside the Abbey itself was hardly recognizable. Great stands crowded with people obscured the west side, and at the north entrance a big vestibule or outbuilding had been erected.

Residents of St. James street subscribed $2.5,00 and erected rows of white poles 35 feet high festooned with ivv. Each pole was ornamented at the top by a crown. The crowd began to gather about 4 o'clock this morning, many men having slept in the parks to be on hand early. By t! o'clock carriages were roll ing in black streams toward the Abbey. By H o'clock the last guest had entered the Abbey, the stands in the streets were filled anil all waited patiently the coming of the King.
