The members OF the police force, un der
command of Capt. w. G. Roberts. turn
ed out for their regular monthly inspec-

through the usual parade drill, in spite
of the absence of the police commission
ers, who apparently overlooked the mat
ter. The effect OF the enforced course of
drill which the men are called upon to
take at regular intervals when off duty
is very apparent, and each inspection
day shows them to be more proficient
than they were on the preceding one.
The general appearance OF the men
reflects great credit alike upon them and
their superior officers.
