There was a little regret that the review arranged to take place at Happy Valley could not be held owing to last fortnight'a continu- ous rain having rendered the ground unsuitable. Memories of last year's imposing spectacle were conjured up but the novelty of a grand parade in the city with the numbers originally intended- and a march through the Chinese business quarter was thoroughly enjoyed.
2,5000 MEN PARTICIPATE.
Although the hour wns com- paratively curly, thousands had arrived in Statue-square before the appointed time. Britons and other Europeans were present in
KING GEORGE. His Majesty King George V. was born on June 3, 1805; and in Jane 0, 1893, he married Princess Mary, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Teck. On the death of his elder brother, the Duke of Clarence, on January
14, 1892, he became Heir to the Throne. He became Dake of Corn- wall, on the necession of his father," King Edward in 1001, and was created Prince of Wales on Novem ber 0, 1001, after returning from a tour to Australasia. On King Edward's death, on May 8. 2010, George became King, and was crowned in Westminster Abbey, on June 22, 1911.

Unfavourable weather at the beginning of the week-end's holi- day may have prevented a num- ber from getting away. Hence, with-the sun coming out yester day afternoon, most people made up their minds to see the parade. Admirable arrangements had been made by the Police, who were ably assisted by the Police Re- serve. Members of the Flying Squad and the Sharpshooters' Company were also on duty. De- tachments from the St: - John Ambulance Brigade were on duty all over the city, ready to attend to any casualty. Men in the Garrison Police were de- tailed for guide and other duty at points along the route of the march.
All vantage points in the vicin- ity were full of spectators, veran- dahs, windows and, in some cases, even roofs, carrying their respec tive loads.
Early in the morning, the vari ous units which were to take part had proceeded to their appointed assembly areas, a number having. to come over from the mainland for that purpose..ADA SAR A platoon from the King's Own Scottish Borderers kept the ground" at the Cenotaphi
