THE REVIEW BY HER MAJESTY IN HYDE
PARK.

FINAL ARRANGEMENTS.-(THIS DAY.)

The final arrangements for the grand military
display in Hyde-park by her Majesty were completed thin
morning, and judging from the preparations which have
been made and the money and labour expended, there
cannot be a doubt, should the weather only prove favour-
able, of which at present unfortunately there i■ some
doubt, that it will prove a great sitcoms. The erection of
the galleries, the contract for which was taken by Messrs.
Smithe, of Pimlico, is now finished, and very little of
the upholstery, undertaken by Messrs. Drummond,
remains to be completed. Indeed, it would have
all been finished ere this had the weather not
been so unfavourable for out-door operations
of this kind within the last few days as it has, as it re-
quires great care and vigilance to prevent the floors and
teats of the galleries from becoming wet from the nume-
rous falls of rain. The galleries which are finished are
covered with large tarpaulins and canvas to keep them
dry, and it is hardly necessary to add that had they not
been so, especially in those reserved for the royal family and
the Houses of Lords and Commons, where the sesta are
covered with cloth and calico, they would not have been
fit for the purpose for which they were intended. The
enclosure in front of the galleries is also finished. It is
prepared for the officers of all branches of the service, and
for such of the public as possess green tickets. At the
entrance of each of the galleries flags are being placed of
the same colour as that for which the tickets for their use
are available, and it may be well to observe that all holders
of tickets will have to go to the back of the galleries
whish face Grosvenor-gate and Park-lane. Police will be
stationed at the thoroughfares leading into the park at
an e►rly hour to-morrow morning, to prevent obstruction
and facilitate the entrance of the troops, and mounted
constabulary, under the command of Sir R. Mayne, will
regulate the entry of the carriages.
Her Majesty will arrive on the ground about 11 o'clock,
accompanied by several members of the royal family,
among whom the public may expect to see, should the
weather be favourable, her Royal Highness the Princes
of Wales. The royal party will be escorted into the park
by a squadron of the Life Guards, and on her Majesty's
carriage reaching the =luting base, the queen will be re-
ceived by the entire force in line with a royal
salute. The Duke of Cambridge and several general officers
will accompany the royal carriage, the approach of which
will be made known by a royal salute being fired by the
artillery. Her Majesty will then inspect the troops, and
the movements as already detailed by the Horse Guards
memorandum will follow. It is expected that the review
will terminate about 1 o'clock.

A report received from Hounslow states that the cavalry
regiments which left Aldershot yesterday have arrived,
and, in accordance with orders, h►ve gone into the camp
prepared for them by the detachment which left by rail on
the same day. The following an the regiments :—The
3rd (King's Own) Hussars, the 17th Lacers, the lit
(King's) Dragoon Guards, 15th (King's) Hussars, 4th Dra-
goon Guards, and the Military Train, with 167 horses and
46 waggons. They will remain under canvas till an early
hour to-morrow morning, when they will march by road
to Hyde-park.
The 2nd Life Guards, under the command of Colonel
Marshall, left Windsor this morning, and are expected in
the course of the day at the Hyde-park and Regent's-park
barracks.

Orders have been received at the various barracks for
the preparation of refre+bment for the troops who will
arrive in the metropolis early to-morrow morning.

The Prince of Wales has signified his intention
to inaugurate the London College of the Interna.ional
Education Society, at Spring-grove, Middlesex, on Friday,
the 12th inat.
