halted on the other side OF the open space
facing the Government building. There
followed a long silence, until the British
flag was run up to the masthead OF the
nagpole to stand out clearly defined
against the pale blue dome of the sky.
when another long cheer broke with rush
into the stiffness. Stationed opposite Lord
Roberts was the fife and drum corps of one
Of the infantry regiments.
POIc-Carew's Division.
Suddenly, at the end of the shouting,
was heard the roll of the drums. Then at
once, winding up from a corner street into
the open space TO march past the chief,
came the front ranks of General Pole
Carew's division. This was the beginning
of the parade which was marching in cele-
bration of the day. There were no rags
in this procession, no bright-colored uni
forms. no plumes; and the fife and .irum
corps opposite the chief played 10 each
regiment as it passed the tune which be-
lcnged to it by right OF its own traditions.
The troops entered the square Just as
they had come that morning from the place
where the last skirmish had been Fought.
awsA among the southern hills--they
marched in procession the same as they
had Travelled through the long days OF
the journey from Bloemfontein northward
to Pretoria.
There were the same dirty faces and the
pale and tired eyes; the uniforms torn
and ragged and all the same: only ROW
the lines were straight and the step was
strong Thus, regiment after regiment,
column Of this division had gone came the
mounted troops and the guns. When the
colmun of this division had gone came the
division under the command of General
Hamilton marching in review through
the square. And always the chief watched
the troops pass by and always light film
of dust rose up from beneath the feet
into the sunlight.
Then the last rank disappeared beyond
the square. The open space was clear
again The dust settled slowly to the
ground. This ended the procession; ended
the surrender of Pretoria-vlrtually ended
the war.
