The percentage of fainting men and women seem unusually large,
owing, no doubt, to the heat of the sun and the absence of wind ; but the work of tending them and getting them away was performed with promptitude and tact by the men of the ambulance corps. We shall not attempt to enumerate here the multitude of distinguished people wb took part in the procession. We must note, however, the manly and dignified bearing of King George. In most diffioult and trying circumstances the naturalness and simplicity of his carriage were impressive in a high degree. When we remember what the last fortnight has been for the King, who would have been surprised if he had looked worn and dis- tracted, or if he had steeled himself to the ordeal by the assumption of a certain theatricalness of beating P As it was, he seemed the most natural, least nervous, and least self- conscious man in the vast pageant of mourning. It is a happy omen. He who dares be himself, and is able to be himself at a moment of great emotion and of nervo strain, is indeed a great man.
