EYED RaSonetal IN I-onaon. ~

It IS not often that fixed bayonets
are seen IN the TcIky which has AL
ways been SO jealous Of ITS liberties;
but recently this infreQuent spectacle
was presented BY a battalion Of
Grenadier Guards who were returning
from Aldershot to the Tower, and
saluted the lord mayor in full canoni-
calls on the steps OF the Mansion
House. The privilege of marching
through the city with fixed bayonets
Is enjoyed by but very few regiments,
such as the Royal Fusiliers, who
trace their origin to Cromwell's train
bands, which, in later years, produces
so famous captain as John Gilpin.
After the Royal Fusiliers, or per-
haps ever before them in point OF
regimentaI seniority, come the East
Kent Bluffs" now the third of the
line, who claim q similar city ances-
try; while the Royal Marines, for
some reason or other, also enjoy the
same fixed bayonet rights in the city.
A battalion Of the Grenadier Guards
was once impressed to serve as mar
ines, and hence they share the privi-
lege of the men who are Soldiers
and sailors, too This also explains
why that Grenadler battalion has for
it's tattoo "Rule Britannia a SOU

The question as to the origin OF
the term "hooligan" reminds a cor
respondent of an unwritten chapter
in the history of the metropolitan
police, which tells how hooliganism
was stamped out in. the borough. This,
a retired inspector of police informed
the writer, was effected by the sim
pie means Of drafting into the divi-
sion every big Irish constable that
could be found in London. These
naturally rejoiced in the change from
peaceful neighborhoods, where their
talents were thrown away, and so
they hunted the hooligans and fought
them with llghtness Of heart remini-
scent Of Donnybrook Fair. In e9n-
sequence the borough was very soon
