In re-affirming his original de- cision, Mr. Schofield remarked that he could not rely on the evidenc of the Canton witness, who was a friend of the owner of the car and had been specially got down to give evidence. Although the evidence given by the constable was weak. he appeared to have taken no noies of any detalls of the accident. However, he was de- finlie that no drink had been given to any of the injured persons in the car, and that the car had no stopped at the hotel at all. A fine of $30 was imposed.

But the King had long been familiar with "the Toc a church," where. in blue Jacket and grey flannel trousers he has several times attended the annual
birthday services of the movement, Yesterday, in his uniform of Colonel-in-Chief of the Welsh Guards, he sat in the old seat he used to occupy as Prince of Wales.
"THE PRINCE'S SEAT"
It is a large pew at the back of the church, and it has been known as "the Prince's Seat" ever since the time of Richard Cœur de Lion, who built a chapel at All Hallows. At the church door to receive his Majesty were:
Col. M. B. Beckwith Smith, o- cer commanding the regiment; the Rev. E. H. Thorold, Chaplain-Gen- eral to the Forces and chaplain to the Ring: the Rev. H. W. Todd. Chaplain to the Forces, who took the service; the Rev. P. E. Leonard and the Rev. F. W. Baggallay, de-. puty Vicars of All Hallows in the absence of the Rev. P. B. Clayton. Vicar of All Hallows and founder- padre of Toc H, who is with the Fleet in the Mediterranean, and Sir Ipa Hamilton-Benn and Mr. L. Frideau Brune, the churchward- ens.
Carrying his bearskin under his arm, the King entered the church, where every one of the 500 seats was occupid by past and present officers and men of the Welsh Guards.
The King was the first to leave the church. He shook hands with the clergy and expressed his plea- sure that the Welsh Guards' com- Ing-of-age service should have been held in, a church which he knew so well. He also asked after the Rev. Tubby" Clayton.
MARCH PAST AT THE TOWER
His Majesty then drove to the Tower to take the salute at the March 'Past. As he entered the fortress the Royal Standard was holsted over the White. Tower for the first time for many years
Before the March. Past the King stood for some minutes at a point opposite the King's Steps on Tower Wharf, looking over the river and talking to the Constable. Field Marshal Lord Milne, about the Tower and its history.
After distributing leek, emblems to past and present officers of the
regiment, his Majesty went to see the men at their St. David's Day
dinner.

THE MOUSTACHE IN THE GUARDS
London, Feb. 3. So, the Coldstream Guardaman has been sentenced to twenty- cight days' detention for refusing to shave of his moustache, He said that he had had it for five years. Therefore the order could not have been given for the rea- son that it was a hasty, spiky al- fair and a disgrace to the regi- ment. There were other charges of not obeying orders, but the point seems to have been the moustache, and, according to a Guards authority, the trouble is that there is no regimental order In the Footguards on this import- ant military question.

The fact that King Ed- ward, who is Colonel-in-Chief of the Guards Brigade, has no mou- stache has no more bearing on the matter than that King George, who held that office before him, wore a beard.
