GUARDS' NEW COLOURS There is no connection between to-day's presentation by the King of new Colours to six battalions of the Grenadier Coldstream, and Scots Guards and the numerous inspections which he has carried out since his accession. -
The presentation of new Colours to the Foot Guards takes place every 15 years. The Household Cavalry receive new Standards the Dragoons to Guidons, and the infantry to Colours every 20 years. The Household Cavalry and the Foot Guards use their Standards and Colours at more public, cer" monies than any other regiments. Consequently they must be re- placed oftener.
