SEVENTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 22, 1887, ENGLAND'S JOYOUS JUBILEE, The Grand Day Celebrated With Regal Pomp and Splendor, GREAT ENTHUSIASM PREVAILS Bolemn Bervices at Westminster Ab- bey—Queen Victoria's Triumphal Return to Buckingham Palace ~Incidents of the Day. Victoria's Semi-Centennial, (Copight 1857 by James Gore'n Bennett.] LoxvoNn, June 2L.—[Netw York Herald COable—Special to the Bek.)—The longest day of the year, but too short for the millions of sight seers, ‘“Ihere they come; here they are; well, It's not much”—such expressions came from many of the several thousand Americans who had mounted the street scaf- folds as pleasantly yet as gravely as had King Charles and Louis XVI in their day. Obeying Mother Goose these Americans had sung “I've been to London to see the queen.” Those few who were in the abbey looked disappointed, as did Blaine in the gallery devoted to distinguished strangers. He looked as sleepy as Marco Bozzaris, ‘Was he areaming “of the hour when Eng- land’s knee in suppliant bent should tremble at his power?” Senators Euzene Hale and McPherson were there, each looking as if wishing to address the assemblage on topics of the day. Minister ’helps looked nervous, as if fearing Lady Randolph Churebill. Leonard Jerome's daughter was there, but her husband not. She looked a duchess in biseuit-colored silk gauze, alternating with fawn-colored corded silk and bonuet fawn- colored tulle. They all had tedious waits from about 8 to a quarter of 1--nothing butorustle and buzz all that time. Too much red uniform, red flags and red upholstery gave the sacred old abbey rafters too much of a Mephistolean look. “At the conclusion of the royal game of “pillows and keys kissing”--a game beloved of American children—proved the most en- tertaining Incident of the day. Outside at the hotel windows, on baleconies and im- provised plank colosiums, Americans had bulled the prices of seats. To them 85 did not seem much of a sum when enumerated as one guinea. Chicago tourists had cornered not a few seats. Some had paid thousands of dollars for lower rooms in the Grand hotel, whoere last autumn John Kussell Young was fined a guinea per week for the offense of taking his meals outside the hotel, ‘fhat 820 a daay hostelry was In the Juck of commanding a fifteon-minute long continuous view of the procession, both coming and going. The grand stand at the junction of Pall Mall and Cocks- pur streets commanding a similar view, was the most favorite American stand, An American colonist had hired, two months ngo, the whole ccrner building named the Waterloo house, for 2,500. His timber and carpenters cost $500 more. His rentals for the day were 80,000. The Americans seemed most to cheer the crown prince. What strength of throat he lacked they seemed to supply. He certainly looked a splendid man In his white cufrassier uniform as a German field marshal, Probably next to the queen’s escort and the crown prince, the queen of Ha wail was the most noticed and cheered = by the crowd. Indeed, an immense number of English who still belleve that wigwams are freqent around New York and black mag- nates abounding in the states, took her for a celebrated species of American rayalty. Jubileo day closed without alarm or ma- terial accidents. It most wonderful incident was that hitherto unprecedented sight of Mohammedan, Buddnist, Hindoo, Sikh and Japanese princes, with Persian and Chinesa heathen magnates, statiouned at the altar of a christian churchamicably awaiting a chris- tian prayer. [V’ress.|—The press is requested to state that the number of congratulatory tele- grams from public and priyate bodles is 80 overwhelmingly large that it is impossible to answer them individunlly. The queen is greatly touched and gratified by such ex- pressions of loyalty and devotion from all classes of subjects. On the advice of Lord Salisbury, jubilee honors will be conferred on soveral liberal unfonists. New peers to bo created in honor of the quoen’s jubileo will Include Sir William Armstrong, Sir James McNaghten, McGerel Hoeg and Right Hen- ornble George Sclater Booth. ‘The first day of the fifty-first year of the reign Queen Victoria opened with perfect summer weather. Thousands of people who yesterday selected locations along the route of t-day’s processions in order to retain them occupled them all night. A steady stream of carrlages and pedestrians poured constantly all night until dawo through the city from all directions toward West End. Atbo'clock the line of route wasa eompact mass of people. Everybody, de- n‘;ne the discomfort of erowding, manifested the utmost good humor. Tha scene at West- minster abbey was most briliiant, Every seat was filled and overy person was a distin- uished -r;onnfu It secmed as if every ocality the world over had sent one or more of its representative personages to do honor to Engiand’s queen. ~Thore never, probably in modern tines, assembled under one roof an audience so well and so briltiantly ar- rayed. Every man present entitled to wear a uniforin or'decorations had both on, new or burnished up. When the audience was all anxul the scene presentod was incompar- able. When the Marquis of Sallsbury entered and proceeded to the place setapart for him, was chieared, \Vhen Gladstone S he was also .~ Such was the cager. sured places In the audience at W estminster, to be on hand, that scores of lords and Indies repaired to the edi- fice at unnccessarily early lours, and as many of thew were admitted without having berless of the aristocrats unable loager to withstand thirst or hunger. ‘The line of procession from Buckingham palace to Westminster abboy was kept b nearly ten thousand troops, reprosentin, n{l branches of service. In addition 600 boys from naval training ships “were drawn up at tho base of the Nelson monument ' In addition to the military many thousands of police, bothi wounted and on” fout, were cu uty. A few minutes before 11 o'clock the seconil part of the procession left. This was com- posed of some fifteen carriages, the occupan's being the king of Devmark, tie kKing of el gium, the King ot Suxony, the king of the Hellenes, the crown prinee of Austria, the crown prinee of Portugal, the ere of Greece, Prince George of crown princess of Austria the grand duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, ‘Iliis part was also well recelved by the people, holped to keep the way open to the abbey and exer- cised the pent-up enthusiasm of the vast multitude, Pynectually at 11 a. m, the queen in open carriage emérged from the palace gates. At the sight of her thousands of volces werd lifted up in_cheers, the apulause beinz ac- companied by the musle of wany military bands stationed fu front of the police. When the palace gates were thrown open the inmensa throng extended far away be [ond even seeing distance of the proeession, Leading In the journey to the abbey we! life guards, then tollowed the aides-de- and royal equerries; after th AT of the Duke of Cambridge; the gue adies In waiting and a number ot s lelals were next, oceupying live co e, the Belind them eame a body of life guards,then the Duchess of Bucehench, mistress of the robes, Priucess Victoria of Schleswig- Holstein, Princess Margarette of Prussia, Princess Altred of Edinburg, Princesses Vie- toria and Sophia of Prussia, Princess Louise of Battenburg, Princess lrene of Hesse, Grand Duchess Slizabeth of Russia, Princesses Maude, Victoria and Louise, bereditary princess of Saxe-Meinin- duchesses of Albany, Cannaught nburg: Princesses Beatrice, Louise, and istian, The master of the horso rode after the princessea and immediately pre- ceeded the carriage of the queen, The eight horses that drew her majesty’s earriaze were colored. The qieen sat facing tiie and sat alone, 'The princessof Wales, Jictorfa, the queen’s oldest child, ipied the other seat, facing her majesty inces who rode'as escort to the ecar- the tollowing order: Three Duke Ser:ins, of Itussia, t Wales, and Pri t in st—Grand nee Albert Victor Wiilliam of Prussia, Princel rinee George, of - Wales, ditary and Duke of Hesse: prn @ of ¢ Mei- neinger, prince of Christin, Vietor of Schiles- welg-Holstein and Prin souis of Batten- burk, Prince Christian of Schleswelg-flolstein crown prince of Germany and Grand Duke of Hesse, Two abreast—Drince Henry of Battenburg, and Marquis of Lorne, Duke of Connaught and Prince of Wales, Duke ot Edinburg rode alone. This escort Composed as it was entirely of sons, sons-in- law and graudsons of the queen, all bril- lantly uniformed and riding magnificent norses elegantly eéaparisoned, presented a splendid appearance and inspired enthusiasm evervwhere, All along the route when the queen came in sight the cheering started up afresh, and when she had passed a short distance it be- came a mighty roar, The queen was mani- festly delighted, IHer face wore constant smiles, She bowed and thanked the people and whenever she recognized any person she fairly beamed with joy, Over her black costume the queen woré a white lace gown. Her eoronet was of white netting or lace, with an_inwrought coronet gof diamonds, The procession was closed up by parties of lite kuards and Indian troops. "The nrogress of the royal procession from the palace to Westminster Abbey was one continued ovation. ‘Tremendous crowds thronged the streets and houses, Seats along the route sold for five guineas each. Onthe procession nearing the abbey Ui 1roops saluted, guns wero fired and bells of churches rung, and flags were run up, the cheering be- ing continued until the queen had passed into the west door. After passing through the vestibule her m-’l‘J v was conducted to the grand dais under the lantern tower, where she was surrounded by thirty-two mermbers of the royal family. As the queen entered the abbey the audience of arose. Ths peers and their wives wero seated in the south transept. The ambassa- dors and diplomatic corps were seated to the right and left of the peers. Members of the commons were placed in the north transept, Sents for the reigning families of Kurope, ete., were within the communion rails, 1- the great learned societies and corporations were represented, while notables of law, sci- ence, art, acriculture and workingmen’s representatives from all parts of the United K{nml«rm had seats allotted them. The re- ligious services in the abbey in commemora- tion of the queen’s jubilee were condncted by the nn‘hblnlwp of Canterbury and dean of Westminster. Nearly ever! dignitary of the established” church, however, present, besides a great num- i guished clergymen be- longing to other denominations. At the conclusion of the services the queen proceeded back to Buckingham palace. The queen’s advent was arranged 8o she entered the abbey precisely at noon. Dr. Bridge, or- ganist of the abbey, had for the occasion specially trained a choir of 250 volces,selected from the great choirs ot London, a num- ber of eminent soloists, besides a large ac- companiment of brass instruments and drums. When the clurg{ at the head of the royal procession moved into the church the national anthem was rendered by the or- gan. The music was thrilling and the audi- ence rose as a_unit and lent 10,000 volces to the air 10 accompany the cnoir. The effect was so grand, 8o profound, that many persons were moved to tears. It was at this moment that the queen ap- peared within the doors. The singing of the anthem ceased, and a processional march from Handel, *‘Occasional Oratorian,” was glven by the organ during the {vmzrus of the queen and royal family to the dais. ‘The queen occupied the coronation chalr, over the back of which drooped the ro{al robes of state, which the queen presently assumed with the assistance of the istress of the robes. ‘The abbey was now a blaze of mag- nificence. Un the right of the royal dals the lord chancellor in his magniticent robes of state and flowing Wik, o mass of velvet and ormine was seated. Behind him sat 500 peers of the realm and their peeresses, attired in costumes of rich velyet and sumptuous silk, Behind these sat the lord lieutenants heavy with robes and insignia of oftice, and diplomats, whose bogons were covered with decorations. On the left and facing the lord chancellor was tho speaker of the house of commons, also wearing his robes of oflice, with a golden mace before him. Behind hiin were mem- bers of the house of comwmons and wives, all richly arrayed for theoccasion. So, on either side ‘of her, the queen’s eyes fell upon two brilliant masses, splendid” in colors and dazzling with jewels. Tho galleries, which reached the lofty apse, were crowded with a mass of black robed clergymen, Down the nave they wero greeted with & bright array of military and naval ~ uni- forms, Conspicuous amongst all thig brilliancy were the dazzling Orlental costumes of the Indian rajahs, sparkling with precious stones. The rays of the sun streaming through the closed windows gave a rich and varied glow to the assemblage, which, In itself, was as picturesque as the world has ever witnessed. "The scene was of more than regal splendor, and the court ofticials who have seen both say to-day’s spectacla far oxcecded that of the coronation in mwagniticence. Amnng the notables that could be seen from the press gallery were Iremler Salis bury, Lords Cransbrook, Alcester, Ashe- bourne, Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Mr. i tone in court uniform with Mrs. Giad- ames Russell Lowell and Mr. Blaine. In ihe eallery vverlooki the dmis Queer Kapiolani and Princess Lililokolani, in rieh golden robes, were seated just under the stream of crimson rays falling through the windows. Amongst royalties who awaited S ival were the blind ki led toaseat in the chairjuear and beside whom sat the quecn ot Belgium and Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria, Outside could be heard the contin- uous roll of cannon salutes and the pealing of bells, all mingling with the thunder- ous acelamations of the people. But a sud- den hush fell everywhere when the queen took a prayer book in her hand and bowed her head for a short interval in silent prayer, When they were seated thoe archbishop of Canterbury and dean of \Westininster, who had takon their places within the sacrarium, began the service by the asking of God’s blessing upon the queen. “Te Deum Lauda- mus” was then subg by the choir to music composed by the prince consort, the queen having requested this, The Lord’s prayer was said, aud responses (adapted to the occasion) were intoned. Three special prayers were then offered. Followin, the” prayers “Exaudiat Te Domincs was sung with organ and brass band accompaniment. ‘I'ho dean of West- uster advanced to the rails and read the son for the day (First Epistle of peter, v 6-18), Dr.” Brigge's special anthen, selected by the queen [ast yoar as her jubilee anthem, was next rendered, foliowed by a choral Y'Gotha,” composed by the prince con- sort. In the rests thie national anthem was introduced, ‘I'wo more special prayers for the defense of the faith, spiritual welfare of the kingdom, for pesce uud love, fol- lowed, aud were supplemented by the benc- diction, which was pronounced by the arch- bishop. When the benediction "had becn said, the queen’s sous knelt before her and kissed her nand, They arose and her majesty kissed each “mpon his cheek. Tho princessey uw“ qduncm to the aueen and " kissed her ‘hand and shg Kissed them ail, favoring some twice, wmaking an unusual demonstration over the Princess of Wales and Princess Beatrice. ‘I'lie other relatives of the queen theu saluted and shook hands with sowe and ssed others, kissing Crown Prince Fred- erick William ot Germany twice, very heart- ily each time. Al this the congregation applauded warmly. After the royal saluta- tions had all been wade the queen descended from the dais and moved out of the abbey, precedod by the royal family, the congrega- i ding apd cheering with ferver all while. The congrezation at once dis- ed, selections of sacred music being red until all had left the abbey. The ceremony throughout was most solemn and impressive, and was followed with the closest attention by the queen and those who sat around ber on the dais, The Indian princes, too, all of whom were furnished with books, appear to rezard the service as one demanding strict attention, INCIDENTS, A number ot persons along the route were erushed into insensibility and removed to lospitals, Quite a number also were over- powered by the heat. “The horse ridden by the Marquis of Lorne threw Lim while the procession was movin along Constitution hill. 'I'he queen stopped her earriage to ask the marquis if he was in- jured, He assured her he was not, but inquished his place as one of the royal corts and went to the abbey by a shorter route. 1t was past 1 o'clock when the queen emeried from the abbey. Sne resumed her carriaze and returned to Buckingham palace, this time taking the route she went after her coronation. When the royal procession reached Parliament street it found the road as densely crowded as before, and in some places more 80, The grand stand facing the horse guards and alougside the Chapel Royal, was a mem- orable sight. The queenggratefully acknowl- edged the salutes and clieering of the oceus pants. Passing ithrough Trafalgar square into Pall Mall the noon-day scene was reenacted. As the procession passed 5 mos strect the quecn took a long and siuiled and smiled at an aged who was atone of the windows of St. James palace. The azed lady was the duchess of ('mul'rhlg\'. Passing up St. James street, the whole of which was effusively decorated, the pageant azain turned into Picadilly, which was liter- ally vacked. The thusiastic sightseers, not content with one view, had to rush across St. James_and Green park to get another view in Picadill The swaying of the crowds in some places was tertific until Wel- on arch was again reached and the pro- on proceeded at a_somewhat smarter pace up Constitution Hill and once more rdached Bnekingham palace, driving in at the grand entrance amid the cheers of tens of thonsands of people, ‘The queen seemed fairly overcome with the loyalty digplayed by her subjects, ‘The procession” reached Buckingham shortly after 5 o’clock and five minutes later her majesty passed into the palace, amidst the most tumultuous cheering, with her escort of generals on either side. The Marquis and Marchioness of Salishury, who had hurried to the valace by a short route, were present to receive her. ‘I'he queen bore the journey well and was seen soon after her return laughing and smiling at the royal children who were upon the main balcony of the palace and Kkissing her hands to them. The other Americans present at the service in the abbey were United States Minister Lawson, Senators McPherson and lale, Congressman Perry Belmont, Mr. Gilfillan of Minnesota, Prof. Parker ot Dartmouth college, and Mr., Joseph Pulitzer. ‘The most conspicuous figure in the proces- sion was the German crown prince, wlose magnificent physique, set off by a snow-white uniform, shown conspicuously among the princely throng. ‘Ihe Prince of Wales, seemed insignificant in comparison. Grand Duke Serzins, of Russia, was, after the German crown prince, much the most strik- lu;im:uro. A receptlon and banquet was given at the palace to-night, the guests being limited to members of the royal families and diplomats. Minister Phelps was present. Lady Godiva Pageant. [Copuright 1857 by James Gordon Bennet'.] COVENTRY, June 2L.—[New York Heratd Cable—Speclal to the BrE.|—Lady Godiva has been practically sent to Coventry. ‘This old town, five miles from the tamous Kenilworth castle, and once noted as ribbons, celebrated the jubilee and Godiva pazeant together, but in so doing suppressed “peeping L'oin of Cov- entry” and the traditions of the nymph-like Saxon lady who *‘rode thro’ the amorous sun- shine clothed only with golden tresses.” A Lady Godiva shown in full dress was like giving the ballet with men or enshrouded Turkish women. 'T'he festivities which com- memorated the victory of the tenants 800 years ago were therefore wholly decorous. One thousand two hundred Sunday school children with the lord mayor and councilmen beaded the procession. A thousand old people were lying 1n the market hall, the counterfeit of the ancient guardsmen, They wore a silver uniform as they did in the im- personation.of the dragonless Saint George, for that titular saint of England was born here A Leofric, earl of Merica, looking with less cruel eyes than perhaps belonged to the original feudal hated landlord and husband of Lady Godiva, escorted his countess whose robes were designed after a sketch dated 1050. The steed she rode was a mag- nificent dapple grey. Coventry, however, is happy to-day, not- withstanding its traditions have been viola- ted by the costumers, for among the jubllee peers of to-day 1s its M.

The dining room was decorated with French, Irish and American flags, On the mantel plece belind the president’s chair lay an efligy of Queen Vietoria, overshadowed by a biack banner on which. in white letters, was oneword “Vengeance.” The portraits of Irish patriots adorved the walls. Among the guests were Joseph Corrigan, Patrick Ca m Kirwan, John O'Donnell, Micha Dr. 0.

Bostox, June 21,—Mayor (’Brien to-day told the committee of Irishmen and others that he had no power to cancel the permit to Enclishmen to hold jubilee services in Fan- euil hall to-night, and so the celebration was held. Probably no meeting ever held in Boston created such in- tense excitement. So bitter were the Irish that violence was feared. Before 7 o'clock groups of men and boys begau to gather around the hall, and their numbers were augmented until the square was filled.

The Home Team Loses the Second Game of the Series by a Score of 10 to 6-Doings On the Diae mond and Track, Heroes of the Diamond, Omaha beat Lincoln at the ball park Sun- day, and yesterday Lincoln returned the compliment. Though the game was marred by some in- excusably poor fielding on the part of some of the Omahas, and the wind kept nasty clouds of dust sweeping across the diamond it was interesting in the start, and toward the close, when Omaha did some beautitul and timely hitting, became quite exhilarat- ing. As an umplire Mr. Deagle 1s fearfully and wonderfully made; and while the Omahas collared the bulk of the roast, the Lincolns were remembered, too. He gave the Lin- colns a home run on Hall's foul hit over the right field fence in the opening inning, but evened up by giving the Omahas oue on Walsh's foul hit over the left tield fence in the seventh. He made execrable decisions on first and third no less than three times, and his judzment on balls and strikes was heartrending. As an umpire, in the language ot Lord Gladstone, Deagle is a pre-eminent failure, He's no good, to neatly pack the truth in a nutshell, and Omaha wants no more of him. In the first, Omaha got a man as far as sec- ond, but that's all. Swift went out to first, Walsh wasgiven a bag on balls, stole second, but Dwyer and Harter were speedily retirec on long flies to Shaffer and Hall respectively. For the Lincolns, Hall, the tirst man at the bat. hit the first ball pitched, a foul over tho right field fence, but the umpire said it was fajr., ‘This was a damper on the audience In the outset, and a suppressed groan, broken here and there by some very muscular ejaculations, thrilled through the entire stand. Beckley then banged the ethereal mildness four times, Shaffer fouled out, and Rowe died on a puny drive to Swift. In the second Hart presented Rourke with the No.1 bag. Messitt flew out, Bader fol- lowed with a hit to left, and on a muff b lleckle¥ Rourke took third and he second, Gening’ hit had a great deal of fire in it, and on its being fumbled by Herr, both men on bases came in, Genins, however, perishing at first. The audience here cheered uproariously, but observed an almost funereal silence throughout the remainder of the contest. O’Leary sent a slow one to first and took his place'in the box. ‘The Lincolns came In, and after Dolan and Herr had retired on_long flies to Bader, hoth excellent catches, O'Leary gave Toohey first on balls, he stole second neatly, and came home on Hart’s hit to short, which Dwyer let get between his legs, and when he recovered the ball Hart was on third. Hall retired. however, on a throw by Harter to Dwyer, the fourth strikes having been missed. In the third Swift, Walsh and Dwyer were retired as fast as they could step up to the plate, but the Lincolns added another to their column of totals, Lang scoring on Rourke's (umble! a steal and & balfl ?uud ball. For the Omahas the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh were unrruducflve. and it was a buzz-saw to a wild cat that Lincoln would take the game. A But few enthusiastic “Hey! Hey! Heys!’ gladdened the hearts and quickened "the pulses of the Omahas; some times the silence was 80_oppressive you could have heard a gum drop. Oceasionally, however, a sten- torian request would emanate from the grand stand for Mr. Deagle to go off and lay down, but we couldn’tsee what they wanted Mr, Deagle to Iay down for; he didn’t seem tired and was certainly BllJlell)! bimself. One man was inhuman enough to implore him to &0 cut his throat, Wasn’t that awful? But it relieved the monotony. In the sixth inning for the Lincoln’s Rowe drove a fine one for a bag pastsecond; Dolan forced him at second, and went to third on a wild throw of O Leary’s. Herr then made a one bagger to left, and Dolan came in, Toohey fanned out and Hart was ex- tinguished trying to purloin isecond. 1n the seventh, after two hands were out, they bullt a Himalayan peak by piling up three more runs. Hall out at first, Bechley struck out for the second time, but Lang got his base on a fumble of Dwyer’s, stole second and on a fumble of Rouke’s and a wild throw of Shaffer’s hit they went to thirdand second respectively, and galloped howme like year- lings on Rowe's safe hit to center, Rowe’ fol- lowing 1n himself on Harter's wild throw to !l.'glwlll him at second. Dolan then Kkindly re- ired. For the Omahas, 1n the eighth, after O'Loary and Swift had gone out, Dengle made the rubescent short stop a_ Christmas resent of a home run on a foul hit over left old fence. But still the tomb-like silence reigned. The audience had already had tomb much. They couldn’t kave been hurt much worse, not even had Deagle pushed the court house over on them, 1n their half the Lincolns swelled the size of their victory to ten runs, on Toohey’s base on balls, Hart's fumbled hit, Hall's base on :);!llls and another tiery and untamed throw by Leary. Asa gnmple of what they could do when they want to, the Omahas came in for their turn at the ninth, Rourkdook first on an error of Beckley’'s; Messitt’s hit to second was muffed, and O'Leary took that bag and Messitt first, and then mascot Bader drove a safe one into Toohey’s zarden, and that gen- tleman allowing it to tortuously avold him, Bader ran like a deer aown to third, and then home right on the heels of Rourke and Mess ‘The next three men, however, Genins, O'Leary and Swift, retired in order and the game was over, or under, we don’t know which. Anyway, the Lincolns said it was theirs, and the grounds on which they based their clalms ean be inspected below: _POS. AB. R, L. TH.

Cashier Meyer, of the Commer- cial National bank, said Che examiner has done, in my opinion, a thing he has ng right to do, namely, ordered a bank closed merely because he found that some of the ofticers had been engaged in fraudulent trynsactions merely because payment had been stopped on somo of thelr " drafts, there had been no funds to meet them and thev had gone to protest, it would have been a different matter.” Cashier Preston, of the Metropolitan National, said: ‘“I'he banks here have been looking for something of thay kind for some time, ever since the bursting of the wheat corner.
