London, July 2.-Thc temperance
yesterday of Queen Alexandra as
participant in public ceremony prac-
tically marks the end of the period of
anxiety caused by King Edwards con-
dition. Her presence at the review of
the colonial troops by the Prince of
Wales greatly increased public en-
thusiasm over what in itself was a
picturesque and interesting event.
Upwards of $500 colonials were
brought in from the various encamp-
ments and marched through great
crowds down Constitution hill, which
was lined with troops, past Bucking-
ham palace, and along the mall of the
Horse Guards parade. The contingent
present represented all parts of the
British empire with the exception of
India, whose troops will be separately
reviewed today. The Canadian de-
tachment numbered 600 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, the West Indies
generally, Cyprus, the Gold coast,
Nigeria, Uganda and other remote
colonies were represented by native
troops in clothing of a striking variety.

Canadian scouts, Kitcheners horse,
and contingents from Il number oflocal
levies raised during the war

way from the palace to the Horse

slowly in and out of the lines and the
Prince of Wales closely inspected the
troops and diSmounted and conferred
medals and crosses on those who had
melited the honor, shaking hands with
