NATION CEREMO; x sii The Procession--The King's Herb- ~ Woman, Who Scatters Flowers Many Other Interesting Relics. Special to he Whig. The coronation hasbeen fruitful in deed, during the course of its long history, in the number of quaint, ola world features which it presents for our notice. LUnfortanately, wot a few of them are at this moment in what is, at any rate, temporary abeyance, owing to the fact that the powers that be seem of late years to be bent on restricting the ceremony within the smallest possible limits, thus following the unfortunate precedent set by king William IV. Look, for instance, at that most delightiul eustom--thg cotonation pro- cession from Westminster hall, through New Palace yard, and right round to the western doors of the Abbey church, All along the route of the procession a raised platform was erected, railed in on either side and covered with blue cloth, which ex tended from the steps of the thrdne in Westminster ball to the grand "thea: tie' beneath the lantern in the ab bey. All this is entirely gone. It is, of course, impossible to give a full account of the procession, which was of an exceedingly claborste de scription; but we can notice a few of its more important features. The first group, walking immediately he hind the deans beadle of Westminster, consisted of the king's herb-woman and her train of assistants, who, efad in gorgeous ritire, procesded to scat ter their | cautiful blossoms at the hend of the procession, as. it passed upon its way. The last time these duties were carried out was at the coranation of George IV, when the chil officient was Mise Fellowes, sis. ter to the secretary of the lord great chamberlgin. to whow the honor had been promised before the king had actually come to the throne, The barons. of the Cingue ports al so had a guaint duty to perform, the right thus to officiate having been granted them as far back as the reign of John, They were entitled 10 carty a canopy over the heads of the royal pair during the procession to the abbey. In return for this service, the gallant barons received the canop; which was composed of cloth of gofl, together with the staves which sup- ported it and the silver bell ot cach Jcomer. The barons were supplied from the towns of Hastings, Dover, Hythe, Rye, Sandwich, Romney and Winchelsea, all of them being arrayed in garments of which crimson satin was the prevailing feature: At their appearance, e.g., at the coronation of George LV, they provoked no little merriment by their generally ungain- ly movements; indeed,' wheén the mo ment arrived to start for the abbey, the king absolutely refused to trust himself beneath the friendly shelter of the canopy, and insisted upon walk- ing a few paces in from. One of the most pieturrsque features in the coronation was the performance of the service due from the important potentate who at gne time exercised rights, virtually amounting to King- ship, over the Isle of Man: The ser vice to be rendered consisted in bring ing two falcons on the coronation day of each sovereign. Great interest was evoked at George IV's. coronation, when the duke of Athol arrived in Westminster hall beating upon bis wrist 4wo beautiful pevegrine fal cons. The king descended from his platform to examine them, while all the cowrt ladies crowded to = caress them The duty which fell to the Tot of the Jord of the manor of Addington was, without exception, the most extraor- dinary "of all the eatire coronation ceremony. He had to ensure that a Fell Exhausted . a: . $i gi abe «_. and Unconscious A Frightful Case of Exhausted Nerves and Debilitated System --~From a Mere Skeleton, Pale, Weak, Trembling 'and Almost Wild With Pain, Mrs. Ed- wards Was Made Strong and Well By Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. / * Mrs. R.

It was then refounded as the collegiate church of St. Peter at Westminster, thoush the ancient title has always retained its hold upon the affections of Eng. lish people. Of this collegiate founda: tion, shen, the king's scholars form part; aid at ihe coronation they have to clicer the king and qoeen in a dead language, i.e, Latin. It must produce a weird effect when the shrill treble voices of the . boys ring out against the roof in the words, "Vivat rex Edwardus; vivat Regina Alexan: dea!" as their majesties pass through the choir of the abbey. The Kino's scholars first of all appeared, or, va: ther their appearance is for the first time definitely recorded at the corona: tion of James 11.; while the remain: ing members of the school, deseribed as the town "boys, were seen at the ceremony first of all at George IV's, coronation. Twice over does the sovereign make his solemn offering at the high altar of the abbey. The first occasion takes placé immediately alter the act of re cognition, almost at the commence: ment of the service. This first obla- tion consists of a pall of eloth of gold, with an ingot oi solid wedge of gold, both of which are delivered to the king by the lord great chamber: lain, po are then laid by his majes- 'ty on the high altar, The second oblation occurs later on 4t the time of the offertory in the communion service, It consists of an- other w , known as the mark of gold, which weighs some eight ounces, It is received' by the archbishop into the dish, and placed upon the altar. At one time these various oblations became the property of the dean and chapter of Westminster abbey; but for a long tinié past they have beén com: muted for @ money payment. This is » particularly interesting feature of the service, Curiously enough, it is said, of more proper ly sung, by two bishops vestéd in copes, who kneel sidé by side at a faldstook placed' immediately in front of the "theatre." This custom finds its couttéerpart in a certain sense at Lin coln Minster, where the litany is re gularly suag by two of the lay mem bers of the choir. This weapon is always considered to be the personal property of the sovereign, which form part of the act ual regalia of England. After the archbishop has laid it upon the alts and duly blessed it, the sword of state is girt about the king, and at- tached' to his girdle by the lord great chamberlain. It does not remain up on the roval person, however, for any great length of time, for it is ungird- ott and offered by the king in its scab- bard. Immediately after, however, it is redeemed, by commandment of the king, for the sum of ose hundred shil lings; after which it is carried naked in front of his majesty MPshe noble man who thus redeems it. The various ceremonies of anointing, inves{ing, and crowning of the king having been performed -in- their aceus- tomed order, it is the privilege of the Jord of the manor of Worksop first of all to present Kiin with a" rich scarlet glove, a token of dignity. For the remainder of the ceremony this noble 'nah stands at the king's right hand, and either supports his arm or holds his sceptre, as occasion may require, The present lord of the manor of Worksop is his his grace the duke of Newcastle The ancient method of disposing of the coronation medals is one which will hardly fine favour with our mod win ideas. They used to be distribut- od during the performance of the hom- age by the treasurer of the king's household, who, attended by Black Rod and Garter king-atarms, used to fling them among the people from the north, santh, and: west sides of the "theatre." We can hardly anticipate any repetition of such a ceremony as this in the twentieth century ! CANNOT REDUCE ARMY In South Africa Before The End of The Year.
