Association The pupils of the Royal
school, some three hundred and twenty in
number, attracted considerable attention
when they arrived headed by the Reformu-
tory school band. They were all neatly
dressed in white with red facings their new
uniforms. For some time past they have
been undergoing drill at the hands OF Adju-
tant NahOra Hipa of the Queen Own. He
has certainly brought them to high de-
gree of proficiency, if they are to be judged
by their smart and soldierlike appearance
yesterday. The most diminutive led the
way and were followed in succession by
those OF larger growth, the senior pupils
occupying the central position, from
whence the graduated scale again COM
menced, descending to the lower grade
At O'Clock the public were received and
for one hour there was continuous
stream of people pouring in to tender their
congratulations TO His Majesty. Many OF
our leading citizens were among those who
attended.
The military companies came last.
When the Kings Own marched in, Captain
Clark advanced to the dai5 and addressed
His Majesty as follows:

which Captain Clark presented two very
handsome calabaShes.

THE PRESENTS
His Majesty was the recipien during the
day of countless gifts, presented by all
classes OF his loyal subjects and foreign
residents of the Kingdom. So numerous
were they that the space at
our disposal would be utterly
inadequate even to catalogue the
rich and costly array, much less to at
tempt anything in the way of a detailed
description. The dining hall was devoted
to their exhibition, and the spacious IA
partment was none too large for the pur-
pose. The following are some of the more
prominent: beautiful native wood table
