exertion that he was able to make hla
way to the diplomatic gallery.
Mr. Taft was accompanied by Mre.
Taft and their daughter, and they had
particularly good fortune in securing a
seat giving them a splendid view.
United States Ambassador White-

looked 111. apparently having not re

by Mr. Hammond, the apeclal envoy,
who had taken his seat before the
royal party arrived.
