CHRONICLE OF THE V/EEK.
THE DIAMOND JUBILEE
CELEBRATIONS : THE MARCH THROUGH
THE EAST-END.
H E Queen and her ministers
Twished that the festivities in honour of her long and prosperous reign should be thoroughly popular. There could only
be one royal procession, and though that was made as comprehensive as possible it could not take in the East-end of London. Mr. Wootton Isaacson, M.P., in his interest for the district suggested that at any rate there might be a military parade through the streets of the East-end, so that the inhabitants might have an opportunity of displaying their loyalty and of partaking in the general rejoicings. This suggestion was acceded to, and consequently over 2,000 brilliantly mounted men, including the colonial contingents, assembled in Victoria Park on Saturday afternoon under the command of Major-General Maurice, C .B . Here they were entertained at a luncheon by Mr. Isaacson, after which they fell into marching order. The colonial troops were in the order which they were to take in the procession on Tuesday : Canadian, New South Wales, Victoria, New Zealand, Queensland, Cape of Good Hope, South Australian, Natal, troops from the Crown Colonies, and the Rhodesian Horse. Besides these were contingents from the Life Guards, the Dragoon Guards, and batteries of artillery. The show was a memorable one. There was plenty o f glow and glitter, the colonials gave an element of unwonted picturesqueness to the scene, and the behaviour of the crowds that lined the roadsides between the Park and the Mansion House was overflowing with good-humour and in every way appreciative. The soldiers will not be likely to forget the warmth of their welcome from working-class London. In the open space before the Mansion House a great crowd had collected, and when the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress appeared under the portico, they were each compelled to make a little speech to satisfy the enthusiastic calls of the sight-seers.

SERVICES IN THE CHURCHES.
On Sunday thanksgiving services were
¡n ^ churches of all denominations throughout the country, and in fact all over the world. The Queen herself
attended at St. Geor. e’s Chapel, Windsor. A t St. Paul’s Q L : N ew S er ie s . V ox. LV II . , No. 2.290
Cathedral, the Prince and Princess of Wales, most of the members o f the Queen’s family in London, and many of the representatives of foreign Powers, attended a service conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and at which the Bishop of London preached from the text in which occur the words “ Honour the King.” After a review of the Queen’s reign he pointed out that it was not our material prosperity that would render this era conspicuous in the future. Nations were strong in proportion as they had a clear conception of a national destiny; and no nation had continued great that had not had a growing consciousness of a universal mission, founded on a general belief in justice and righteousness. The great characteristic of the Victorian era was an awakened conscience about our duties to our fellows. The House of Peers to the number of about 150 attended service at Westminster Abbey. The Lord Chancellor was present in his state robes. At St. Margaret’s under the shadow of the Abbey the Commons also gathered together to listen to Dean Farrar, with the Speaker at their head. There was also a splendid gathering at the Brompton Oratory for the High Mass and Te Deum in thanksgiving for her Majesty’s long reign. The Mass was sung by the Papal Envoy, Mgr. Sambucetti, in presence of Cardinal Vaughan, and a large congregation which included many Catholic peers, judges, ambassadors, and the representatives of foreign Powers, A full report of the ceremony will be found in another column.
The proceedings in Parliament on Mon-
— t h e j u b i l e e ¿|a y afternoon were not unworthy of the
p a r l i a m e n t , great object for which the Houses met—
the voting of loyal identical addresses to her
Majesty. The following is the text of the identical motion proposed in the House of Lords by Lord Salisbury, and in the Commons by Mr. Balfour: “ That an humble address be presented to her Majesty to congratulate her Majesty on the auspicious completion of the sixtieth year of her happy reign, and to assure her Majesty that this House profoundly shares the great joy with which her people celebrate the longest, the most prosperous, and the most illustrious reign in their history, joining with them in praying earnestly for the continuance during many years of her Majesty’s life and health.” There was nothing approaching to oratorical rhapsody in either of the speeches, but there can be no doubt that the proposers and seconders of the address struck exactly the right note. Lord Salisbury pointed out that the occasion was not only great but unique. Her Majesty’s reign had been long, but it had also been prosperous and filled with the love and respect of her subjects.
