chair. I-Ie was supported by abril- liant company, including Lord Cur- son, Admiral of the Fleet, Lord Wal- ter Kerr, General Sir Hugh - Gough, Admiral Sir Henry Stephenson, Gen- eral Sir Dighton Probyn, and Rud- yard Kipling, who had composed a poem specially for the occasion.

Round the veterans were grouped

many of the _heorines of the Mutiny, women who were in Lucknow during

the perilous days of the siege, with,

those who had followed the relieving forces; and beyond, in the stalls and tiers of the mighty hall, were the sons and daughters and children of men who took part in the stirring events, and are'proud to be surviv- ors. Dotted away in the galleries

were patches of scarlet and libel* These were representive groups of t present-day members of the regi- ments who took part in the repres- sion of the mutiny; and they must have been touched, as everybody else was, with the honors conferred on the batch of aged men who sat in the body of the great hall. Defenders of Lucknow, stormers of Delhi, par- ticipators in lesshistorie gatherings, ninety per cent of them grey-bearded msn, _ they sat at the long tables. They plainly enjoyed their excellent repast and the music of the Royal Artillery band. The fare was one of the most seasonable variety, com- prising mock turtle soup, roast stuf- fed turkey, York ham. ox-tcngue, roast_beef and salad, plum pudding, mince pics and dessert. As the irnit was being handed round the tremu- lous sounds of a bag-pipes were heard, and in one of the dark arches lead-

iestivity.

When Lord Roberts came to reply

to the toast and addressed his _“old friends and comrades," he made spe- clal mention of all the unknown heroes of the campaign that his wide memory could recall. More than one old man was led away in tear from tile table at the thoughts that the chief's recital must have evoked. The old fighters delighted in every one of the kindly references to cheri- shed leaders. Although in a sense re- plying to Lord Curzon’s speech, “Bob" was proposing Fallen Com- rades, and at the end of his interest- ing reminiscent speech the whole as- sembly-thers must [have been twelve.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11-‘D_id you

ever wonder if there was system in the way vessels are faced when they are placed at the docks for the win- ter?‘ asked A. A. Sehantz, as hs stood at his office window, looking- out nt the winter ileetwhich shut

oil tile view of the river.

'You will notice,’ he continued,

‘that some of the boats face ons way and some the otller, from which you would naturally infer that there wasu’t any method about it, but if you had n. picture of thc same boats laid up last year you would invari- ably discover thnt then they were turned thc other way. The veisels are reversed from year to year for tile reason that, lying at the docks, one side is much more exposed to the weather than the other, not so much the wind and rain as the sunlight rs- iiected from thc water,

'A boat wintcred always in ons

position will require new bulwsrks and decking on the water slds in just half the time required to rot the timbers on the unexposed sids. when you consider that the decking and bulwarks of a ship must bs cn- tirely renewed once cvcry seven or eight years the scheme of reversing

the vessel really works is great ssv- ng.

LONDON, Feb. 11-The writer of military notes in the 'Pull Mall` Gazette’ draws attention to tile re-| markable forced mnrch by General| d'Amade’s troops from Casa Binncrll to Bettat. They covered forty-eight miles in twenty-live hours on roads which are merely camel tracks.

If the infantry marched at three

miles an hour, they must have done sixteen hours' actual walking.More~ over, they arrived in such good con- dition tilat they immediately fought a successful engagement with the mii- halla of Mulni Rnchid. The roads from Casa Blanca and Rabat have thus been cleurcil us ful' as Settnt,I for they converge a little wily north of that place. ` TheFrencll infantrynllln is beyond doubt a wonderful nlnrcller; llc car-_ ries so much that he is more indep- endent of transport than the soldier ofanyotller European Army, and ob-' servers hnve noticed that he marches rather_hetter ut the end of n long marchgthun at the beginning.

Goodmarclling is il prized tradition

witil the French, and each regiment .tries to eclipse the records of other regiments,--u valuable rivalry in ,which we fancy that even anti-mili- tai-lets enjoy taking part.
