And everywhere through the most richly-decorated streets there moved an enormous throng of admirably-behaved people. Well into the small hours of the night the millions of London strolled leisurely along the principal highways of their great city. Disorder and riot were conspicuous by their absence.

Temple._ OUTDOOR SERVICE AT SANDRINGHAM ON JUBILEE DAY.] [Sidenote: Provincial and Colonial Celebrations.] It is safe to say that every town and village in England and Scotland had its own miniature celebration, its own procession, its own feast for the poor, its sports, or its firework display. At Sandringham a service was held on the hill outside the church. About 2,000 children from the various parts of the Prince of Wales' estate had tea in tents in the cricket ground. In Liverpool the principal streets were lavishly decorated, and about midday there was a procession of trades and friendly societies, in which about 8,000 persons took part. On the river there was a grand display of mercantile vessels dressed from stem to stern in flags. The Corporation of Manchester had generously voted £10,000 towards the Jubilee festivities. The streets were gaily decorated, and in the morning 100,000 children were entertained at breakfast and presented with Jubilee medals. In Birmingham there was a great historical procession, and in the evening displays of fireworks in three of the public parks. Many places commemorated the event by building new hospitals or by placing those already existing on a sound financial basis. The generosity of the citizens of Newcastle-on-Tyne was such that a fund of £100,000 was raised for the purpose of establishing a new infirmary. In the city of York the round of gaieties commenced at the Mansion House, where the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress entertained to breakfast the members of the Corporation and the Jubilee Committee. At noon a thanksgiving service was held in the Minster. To the young people of the city the occasion was made an eventful one, for 14,000 of them, along with 1,300 teachers, assembled at 1.15 p.m. at their respective schools, where each was presented with a medal commemorative of the occasion. At night various points of the city were illuminated; a powerful search-light lit up the country for miles around, this being fixed on the central tower of the Cathedral, the west front of which was also illuminated with coloured fires. All over the country the occasion was made one of real rejoicing for the poor and needy, public and private enterprise co-operating to entertain them in the most hospitable manner.
