THE TIMES, TUESDAY. AUGUST 12, 1902L Zbe Coronation. rm: departure of the king. It was definitely decided yesterday afternoon that the King and Qaorn will leave London for Cowes on Thursday, wben they will down by the London, Brighton, and South Coast route from Victoria. Their future arrango menta depend largely on the weather, bat it known that the King will remain in the South least until after the 20th when he receives a visit from the Shah.

As soon afterwards as possible their Majesties will go to Scotland, but beyond this general arrangement nothing is An the principal officials concerned I Coronation arrangements have received from the King's private secretary an intimation of hi Majesty's satisfaction and pleasure, LAST SIGHTS ILLUMINATIONS, (toom orn kprcial cnRiuyroNDEtw.) THE WEST EX D. Illumination last oveninp were partial, no safe to permit vehicular traffic. Perhaps they were right in th. ir juJfrmoJrt. Certain it is that, although there was apparently inestrieable con MO places.

notably at the bottom ol Waterloo place, in Cockspur strect. and In Whitehall, and a vast amouut of shooting an yelling ami pushing, mostly pnod huim 'tired, aaw no real accident of any importance during fair'y Ion poreti nation. Moreover, it has be borne in mind that there are many person of illuminations at all if vehicular tj had been permitted, and a considerable number convenient carriage on the pavement in a really dense crowd, and I speak with the more feeling in that one such) attempted to play the OonftMOB apart arod to take a good deal of hustling in good part the i been an interesting one, reminding the quality of the illuminations, of thing on wheels char a bancs, spring cwtrmongers' barrows, shandridans in a word, anvthine that could drae neonle about without compelling them to use their legs the differ we can show here, for some of the set pieces in Australia were of extraordinary beauty. Still, puts was an interesting crowd and a light hearted, bat not, for the most part, unduly boisterous. Either the police, or a revival of good serine, have succeeded in eliminating the or peacock's feathers, the raucous paper trumpets which the average man is irresistibly tempted to drive down the gullet of the performer, and the harmless but irritating confetti, which, quite out of harmony as they are with the English character, simply make a horrid mess.

Young London now revels in headgear, in red, white, and blue caps, which are in the nature of a hybrid between a Chinese lantern and a jockey's cap, and that only hurts the eye artistically. It is not a physical outrage, and that is something to be thankful for. Last night's pilgrimage was not very long, and St was taken mainly through parts not visited on Saturday. Still, in getting to them, 1 noted with interest the fine A on the Russian Embassy in Chesham place, and the illumination of the Austrian Embassy La Belgrave gqoare. Apsley houso and its vicinity were dark, but there was a fair blaze of light up shaded by the ivy balcony, looked passing well.

Gun tor's the classic outer's bore fine appearance with a great star in gas and a quivering wreath of fiery laurels below. So by Hay hill, that precipitous Dover street, where the Colonial Troops Club. with a device of rose, shamrock, and thistle, and the faming legend For King and Empire," decorated, was effective but the prettiest of all illumination was that given by the Japanese lanterns st Burlington House. Particularly taking to the eye was the receding semi circle of soft light under the archway. Thence I proceeded, via St.

James's square, towards and the detoor to St. James's sqnare proved to be well worth the making. Most of the square was dark, but the Earl Marshal's house in the corner was in a simple but substantial way the best thing in illuminations that hsj come under my notice. The lop two storeys were outlined in straight and doub'o lines of red and white lights, the white being in the upper line. Then the nine square windows in the top storey, with the nine below them altcrnaU'ly rounded and triangular at the top, were outlined in the same colours the result was highly grateful to the eye.

Fairy lights wrrethr medium employed. Pall mall west was Dot brilliant it has perhaps had enough of illuminations and the crowd thy bring. But PaD nall east was better, especially Mors rs. Hampton's and Messrs. Waring's great building and stand which was once Waterloo house.

Her' the light was softened, since tine globe In which it was contained were swathed in coloured silk (or perhaps it was only paper, but the effect wan the same). And then I fought my to a club in the neighbourhood of Trafalgar squaw, a clnb which fortunately is not ffiuniinated. But the hotels near it are, the Hotel Victoria very prettily with a crown in electric lights of various colours and a straight line of red lights at the top of the ground floor, and a eonstclliU ion of stars good big ones 011 (he floors above. That is all that I have seen, although I know well that there are thousands more of devices to be seen. There is in particular the crown and searchlight from St.

Edward's Tower, as the tower of the new Roman Catholic Cathedral Is to be called and the Canadian IX TUB CITY. The ruminations in the City were continued last night, and, as on Saturday, tt. ey were witnessed by thousands; indeed, there seemed to be no falling off in the numbers of those who perambulated the streets, and certainly there was no diminution in the interest shown by the spectators or in the pleasure afforded to them by the numerous and beautiful display, within the one square mile." The area of the Bank of England, the Mansion house, and the Royal Exchange was again the centre of attraction, but the Old tidy of Threadneedse in her superb dress of crystal devices and thousands of prismatic lamps, Jet cf'ttelondnatotart. MiiglnkoS. of the Royal Exchange one realized that nowhere else in the samo space eomld so dazzling an bard street, CornbUl, and Thresdneedle street again excited as much admiration a on Coronation night.

On that nlht, however, justice was not done to the many briUiant illuminations east of the Bank of Encland and olaewhere in the Citv. emission was repaired last night. Biabopsgate sirc. t.raoecnurea street, uca and Fenehurch street were aeeor by thousands of people, and they were amply rewarded by what they saw. Spec'sl praise must be given to the premises of the Cnion Crstle Company, which were beautifully treated with electric lights.

The peace trophy round the statue of King William which could be seen as far as from St. Paul's Cathedral westwards and from the southern side of Loodou bridirc. again had its thousands of admirers and the Vuccn jctoria statue on the Embankment at the foot of Blackfriars bridgo once more came in fur Fleet street was impassable by the and from the Illuminations the Guildhall. The Monument, reared its tall bead in darkness.the decorations the intended illuminations of the column having been removed almost immediately after the the postponement ef the A good deal of surprise the simple and very effective Jul iVe celebrations in 18S7, when the dome was brilliantly illuminated by search lights, was not repeated. As on Saturday night, order prevailed everywhere, and he would have been a captious critic who could have found any fault with tho behaviour of tho people reuerally.
