IMPROVEMENT OF THE KING
fcontinued from Flrst Page.l

(Continued from First Page) greeted with salvos of cheers, which in creased in strength as the spectators noticed that the ordeal of the past week had but little affected her majes- tvs health and noted the absence of any signs of anxiety, as she cheerily acknowledged the congratulations of the public at the uninterrupted prog ress of the king.
 Upward of 2,5OO colonials were brought in from the various encamp- ments and marched through great crowds down Constitution Hill.
 The Canadian detachment numbered 800 men, and was far the largest body on parade. The smallest detachment consisted of three natives of the Island of St. Lucia. Borneo. Ceylon, Fiji. and West Indies generally. Cyprus, the Gold Coast, Nigeria, Uganda and other re- | mote colonies were represented by na- tive troops, in clothing of striking va l riety, while straight from the fighting ] line in South Africa were details from I the Canadian Scouts and Kitchener's Horse, and contingents from number | of local levies raised during the war. The queen was seated in an open car | riage. Beside her was the Princess of | Wales, and opposite were the Princess | Victoria and Prince Charles of Dem 1 mark. Carriages containing the Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of Con- naught and others followed.
 The Prince of Wales was accompanied by the crown prince of denmark, Prince | Frederick, Prince Charles of Denmark, and their suites, and by the foreign at- | taches. including Major F. B. Cassatt, 1 United States military attache. The
 Duke of Connaught and Lord Roberts 1 the commander -in-chief, surrounded by
 brilliant staffs, rode behind the Prince of Wales party. The long lines or troops completely filled the Horse | Guards parade, and their .variegated
 uniforms stood out in vivid contrast
 with the trees of the park.
 Thousands of spectators filled the | stands or stood behind the police Among the interested onlooks was Prince Eddy and the other children
 of the Prince and Princesss of Wales. All the colonial premiers, Indian princes
 and other guests of the nation were
 present, and also many peers and mem- bers of the house of commons.
 Then followed the most picturesque
 feature of the day. The Duke of Con-
 naught, at the head of the troops and
 facing the Prince of Wales, in clear
 tones gave the command, "The parade will give three cheers for the king, and
 himself started the Hip, Hip" In a
 second the refrain was taken up and
 there rose cheers such as London sell
 dom hears, the sound of which must
 have reached almost to the royal sick
 room, half a mile away. Helmets, caps and campaign hats rose in waving con
 fusion at the bayonet's point, and the
 assembled crowds joined in with equal
 vigor.
 A man in the Canadian ranks shout ed. And a tiger" at which the troops and crowd once more yelled themselves
 hoarse. It was the first occasion since
 the announcement of the kings illness
 that the general public had an opportu-
 nity to vent it's feelings, and the people
 took advantage of it.
 Subsequently the Canadian troops
 signalized Dominion day by gathering at the Canadian arch at Whitehall
 where they went through series of ev-
 olutions, and were photographed. The
 arch will be illuminated tonight.
