Dave Leonard and Bill Mulc, for Hong Kong, were the most out- standing, the former making some splendid "catches against the sun. while Muir scored the only home- run for the Colony side.

The regiment must have a per- time fectly docile drumhorse in

for the Coronation next May, and the rough-rider sergeant-Ser- geant William Cowell-has been given the job of training the horse. He told a correspondent recently.

"For a time Lairdsburn will be put through the ordinary test to which every troop horse is sub- Jected. Six months from now, however, I think you will find big difference, for I am convinced we can train him into a worthy successor to poor old Rex, one of the best drumhorse the regiment ever had."

TRAINING WITH TINS Biscuit tins will be used instead of the drums in the early stages of the horse's training, and as it is essential that he should become accustomed to noise, the men of the regiment will shout at the top of their voices, and rattle tins as the horse is marched round the barrack square.
