The strangest part. of _a.1l was the fact that the women seemed to out- number the men. White-ribboned nurses marked almost every yard -along` -the route.

The solenm mag- 'nicence` of yesterday's opening phase of these last. rites` was main- tain_ecl_ fully. Perhaps the stately grandeur of to-day's sorrowful page- _a.nt through the swarming sticets of ; London, with hundreds of thousands of mourners forming a. black. border to the route, will never be surpass- ed. There was in Victoria's funeral procession an absence of t,_hat- hlnck ceremonial generally connected with the final progress to the grave. To- day the coffin was drawn by cream- colored horses. The pall was White and the uniforms of the troops and the. gold trappings of the foreign Sovereigns, Princes and representa- tives forming a. glittering medley, gave brilliant coloring to the scene. The chief mourner_ himself, with his Field Marshal's unifo'rm--even though this was partially hidden by- his over-coat--surrounded by his corps, helped to liven the symbols of mourning marking the route.

' The ring of minute guns and the tollingof bells at 11.15 announced to the countless multitudes who had been crowding London's muddy l streets since daylight that the tuner- al procession had begun its passage. through the capital.

Europe has seen grander Royal 7 funerals than the Queen's, and had`a. ' more gorgeous spectacle in the cele- bration of her sixty years of reign, ' but no episode in the Victorian era will live so deeply impressed on the memories of those who` witnessed it or participated in" theceremonies. The day /was sombre, wet and chil- I 1y, as are most of London's winter days. The cloudy sky added to the gloom of the whole city. The scene at Victoria Station from early morning was most brilliant and impressive. For to-day's cere- mony the station was transformed into an immense reception hall. -All trains were stopped before 9, and the long platforms were covered with purple cloth. On another platform facfng that at which the Queen's train` was to arrive guards of honor,_ composed of.blue-jackets and Grena- dier Guards, were drawn up. The broad roadway separating the two" was swept clean and sanded, and a number of little purplecovered plat- forms from which members of the Royal family were expected to mount their horses were Placed at intervals at the side and centre`. l)lrln_:nislied Ulcers. b At 10 o'clock an army of grooms with the. horses arrived. and thence- forward distinguished British naval and military oicers and foreign Royalties in dazzling uniforms came in quick succession. The Lord Cham- berlain and his officials, barehcaded, with their white wands of._ol'lice, re- ceived the most distinguished per- sonagcs - and conducted them to a little pavilion_ erected on the plat- form. TTVI... uu-I`.-51;. VnI`pn":I\D! kn O-`sub :I\\A\ _A IOl'ul The whole station by that time re- sembled the scene at a levee. The Commander-in-Chief of the Forces, Field Marshal Earl Robe` ts, on a `beautiful, spirited brown mare, car- rying his Field Mnrshal s baton, this juncture trotted into the sta- tion and became the`_ centre of interest. He was soon `followed by the Earl Marshal (the of Norfolk) and many of the distinguished British oilicers. came carriages for the Queen and the Princesses. `They Were the State carriages used on` the occasion of the late Queen's jubilee, with: beautiful gold-mounted harnesses and trap- pings. The horses were ridden by postillions in scarlet jackets, with only. a narrow band of_ crapc on their arms as a mark of the great change. The carriages were closed. The Illustrious Dead. Following the carriages and pro-, ceded by an officer came an object at which every officer in the animated throng instinctively came to` the salute. and every head was bared. It was the little khaki-colored gun car- riage which was to carry Queen Victoria's body from Victoria to Paddington Station. The eight Han- overian cream-colored horses which drew the late Queen on the occasion of the jubilee were used to-day. The gold harnesses, the scarlet-coated postillions and the scarlet and gold covered grooms who held` each of the horses, by the bridle were all the same. Only the little gun carriage in place of` the glittering glass-and- gold coach marked the change. The place for the coffin to rest was over the actual gun.
