The major evcot of the day was the customary review of the gar rison of Rome by the King, who took the salute from a number of infantry regiments, from bersag lieri, and from squadrons of cavalry.
The city was gay with flags, the tricolor flying not only from all Government and municipal offices but from thousands of private houses.
Scholars.. enjoyed a holiday in honour of the event.
In the evening the public build- ings and several of the larger city fountains were illuminated.

At the same time it has increased so in size recently that it is now the fifth largest fleet in the world, being exceeded only by the fleets of Great Britain, the United States, Japan and Ger- many. In tanker tonnage Norway stands third among the nations of the world."
On January 1, 1920, the tolal tonnage of the Norwegian fleet was 3,028,000 tons; July 1 it was 3,208,000 tons; while the estimate for January 1 1936 is 3,800,000. This will include a share of "ap prezimately 400,000 tons which are now being constructed for Nor wegian account.
Norway's claim to the most mo- dern, fleet in the world is based in the fact that more than 25 per cent of the present fleet has been built in the last five years, and a large part of the remaining 75 per cent has been built since the wIT.
