sgn OF becoming obsolete, and, owing to the

unusual features In the street parade, the
occasion was the most interesting In recent
years.

wisely decided to eliminate certain absuru
features from the parade. Hitherto 1t mas

escort and several line regiments also
marched in the procession. The boys OF the
ships Arethusa Chichester and Warspritc
