PRESCRIPTION i were not wanted, No;. . a band to play "God Save the His Majesty and the Queen, ivho was in a simple Cambridge blue costume \vvth a white feathered hat, walked down too Avenue 01 Jiiaipiie, with, their children following close behind, to the white band staod, where T " J "' outh, the Lord Mayor, and t.-™«c. other members .ttee received them, olden rails led beraeath tho lofty roof of the band stand, not an unimposing structure with Corinthian columns. Then two tiny guests, in clean white frocks—one gj:l from the oldest elementary school (St. Luke's, Chelsea), and one girl from the newest school (Morpeth-street, Bethnal Green) —toddled nervously tip to the platform and presented bouquets of lilies and rosea to the Queen rnd Princess Mary, who blushing in her shyness gave the hand of the schoolgirl a warm shake. The girls were Annie Cherry, aged 12, and Lily Drew, also aged 12, and their names were duly chronicled in the Court Circular For a few minutes the King and Queen stood and bowed in the midst of these thousands upon thousands of children screaming their delight. All the boys, with tiieir neat tjiue raps, all the girls with green scarves round their hate, each little lady waving her ™l>;+ A l—„,n-~—i.;~c 1, v++i x man waving his cap and yelling a had never yelled before— it was a strange and beautiful vision, and from the throats of these happy children ther burst wild music of unrestraintd loyalty and gratitude. It was a vision, that seemed to move the King aDd Queen as -they walked round rnd round the bandstand behind the Corinthian columns. Three times their Majesties descended from the carriage, and walked a little distance to greet their guests. They returned to the Empire Steps, end, driving round by the fountains below the tipper Terrace, and past the Tudor Village, came to another vast gathering, half of whom were still devouring their buns and cakes, on tie Sports Ground. AN HOUR OP THRILLS. '"Here they are— the iimg and Queen I" the shrill cry rose from thousands of tiny throats, as the carriage suddenly swung round a leary bend in the grounds, and, dropping tneir buns and cakes, the children made a dash for the roadway, throwing their caps in the aiir, and runnttif anA tumbling bes.de the Royal car: progress, and each thrill seem ger than the others. The second halt was made at the Lower Empire Avenue, where the King and Queen d their children ascended a high platd looked down upon another i of fluttering caps and hand's and smiling childish faoe3. Ley turned back, and tho sounds of cheering died away as they disappeared from view. A few paces brought thej Majesties to the edge of 1 a long flight of steps, and instantly another great wave from another sea of children rose in mighty volume to meet them. The spectacle seemed to have a fascination for little Prince George, who stood on the top step looking /)"«-»> the empty flight upon a wavm of colour. He stopped longer thi should have done, for when tho Roy.il party moved away he still remained behind, smiling at children not many years older than himself, and perhaps wondering what would happen if he i an down and joined the merry youngsters. But his ever watchful brother, the Prince of Wales, turned and took him back to his father and mother. A third halt was made at the football ground, and later -a fourth, at the Pageant Ground. At both places their Majcisties came and went tu the rings of thousands of grateful ana joyous children. When evening came and the rain began to fall and the King and Queen had motored back to Buckingham Palace, the hundred thousand little guests went home and ' told -heir fathers and mothers in a hundred -ihoussnd different ways the 'wonderful story of how they met the King at the Festival of Empire.
