bers of the house of lords and

Many Americans were present,
including the staff of the United

can rifle team who we're under
the guidance of Major General
Lord Cheylesmore.
The king, who wore the uni
form Of colonel of the Grenadier
Guards, rode on the grounds sur
rounded by brilliant staff of an
unusually large gathering of for
eign military attaches. AS the
king halted at the saluting base
the massed band played the ma
tiona1 anthem. After an inspec-
ton of troops, the ceremony of
trooping the colors was carried
out.
Their majesties retuned to the
palace heartily cheered by the
crowd along the route.
