AUDIENCE OF 15,000

SPELLBOUND

GREAT PAGEANT OF EMPIRE.

Aldershot, June 10th.-Under the beautiful canopy of a perfect June night 18,000 people have just lived through some of the, most stirring episodes in our Empire history,

This was the final rehearsal for this year's Aldershot Tattoo, which during the next few days will draw spectators from fur and wide. The spacious wood-flanked Rushmoor įtrem provides an ideal setting for this gorgeous military spectacle, which never fails to thrill all who see it.

So it was to-night: so thrilling and beautiful were many of the pieces that at timees the great audi- hence sat spellbound, and then, when

released from the witchery of it all

burst into round after round of cheering. For sheer beauty the brilliant uniforms, the Bashing ac coutrements, the proud, perfectly trained horses, accompanied by powerful searchlight rays, formed a series of pictures that will live long

in the memory.
