The main feature of the day was the military display which was held at Happy Valley, under the auspices of his Excellency the Governor, at which all the insops in the city assisted. The crowd that assemble 1 there was the largest ever seen at Happy Valley.

Owing to the presence of the feet in port it was expected' that; the Navy would be re- presented, but this was not so, and many regretted the absence of the handymen, whose swagger on the field is so greatly appreciated.

The review was fixed for 9-45' o'clock, but long before that hour the roads leading to the race course were jammed with a crowd making their way to the ground. The trams were. crowded, even standing room could not be se- cured, while rickshas were at a premium The continuous clatter of wheels, the clunging of tramcar bells, the excited yell of the coofies when vehiclen were held immovable is a crowds were deafening.

Shortly before ten o'clock, his Excellency Sir Frederick Lugard arrived on the field with his staff and took up a position facing the centre of the line, while the Royal Standard was hoisted, and the salute given by the asambled troops.
