The parade of the regiment, however, lacks some of the thrill of the battalion parade. For instance, fn the battalion it was possible to securs a little exhibition in the manual of arme, which is not actical in the far flung regiment Chis always appealed strongly to ! visitors, for it was a rare sight to sec 40 odd guns moving as onc and striking the hand or the ground with «ingle thud, Again, in those days of the battalion, it was the practice to pass the companies in review in double quick time, which was anoth- r rare sight done with such pre- cision. With the more ponderous | regimental parade, thesc and other striking features have to give way. Of course the 13 companics of th pregent regiment, marching and manenvering into line do make a more striking picture than the four companizs of a battalion. It may be remarked that 35 years ago at the graduation parade the band played for a feature, “The Girl T Left Be- hind Me.” This year the tender picce “Home Sweat Home' was added and was interspersed with “The Star Spangled Banner.
