The Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, mace bearers, chaplain, remembrancer and the white-wigged Judges of the city courts left their carriages and grouped them- selves together between the lines of drawn up troops. Then the City Marshal, who was on horseback, wearing a uniform of scarlet, gold laced, with scarlet plumes, rode up to the barrier, and ghe king-of- arms, whose green and gold Yabards out- shone those of his colleagues, appeared at the imaginary bar. ~His trumpeter blew a shrill blast, which the Lord Mayor's trumpeters answered, and then the City Marshal rode up to the barrier and de- manded: ““Who goes there?” The king-of-arms answered that it was | the King's Herald came to read a procla- mation. “Enter, Herald,” said the Marshal, and the herald was. conducted to the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, who were still grouped in the street.

The final proclamation was made in front of the exchange. The square before the exchange, with the prison-like walls of the Bank of England on one side and the massive officlal resi- dence of the Lord Mayor on the other, was a stage setting whose age and solld- ity befitted the portentous ceremony. There were no decorations except flags, all half-masted, save the city’s red cross on a white field over the Mansion House. The royal standard hung above the e: change and over the surrounding business buildings flew the union jack. Black was the universal color worn by the people. Hardly a bright or bonnet geant was to pass. The people behind them, crowding for a sight over then shoulders, all classes, from the prosperous brokers to East End costers. The mass was subdued and remarkably orderly, an impressive contrast to the usual London holiday crowd. The roofs of the Exchange Bank and the House and the windows and balconies overlooking the scene were filled with solid rows of people. a clear space in front of the exchange. Entar the Lord Mayor.
