THE KING’S JUBILEE
ENORMOUS INTEREST
(Received Monday, 10.5 a.m.) LONDON, Sunday. The Jubilee functions, especially those at which the King and Queen will be present, are expected to be so overcrowded that it will be difficult to accommodate all desiring to attend. In addition to the enormous interest in Britain thousands of people are coming from the Dominions. One shipping company alone is reported to have booked 4000 passengers from Australia. Rigid rationing and balloting for places will be necessary; for instance, there are difficulties afforded by the presentation of addresses to the King and Queen in Westminster Hall. Nearly 2000 persons are expected to attend, including peers, members of the House of Commons, judges and dominion and colonial parliamentarians, but there will not be room for their wives.
