The Postponed Coronation

By Editor

The Postponed Coronation.—It was expected that the great coronation of Edward VII. would take place in a blaze of earthly glory, June 26. Millions went their way to London, many from the opposite side of the earth, to witness and share in the festivities, rejoicing, and merriment from June 23 to July 5. All the preparations had been made; the various parts had been again and again rehearsed; the coronation poem had been written by the poet-laureate; the ambassadors and nobility of republics, kingdoms, and empires were waiting.
