The King was present on Monday morning at the annual

parade of the Honourable Artillery Company in the grounds of Buckingham Palace. The occasion was especially interest- ing owing to the fact that the section of the Ancient and Honourable Artillery Company of Boston, Massachusetts, who have been visiting England, were invited to take part in the parade. The King in the course of an address to the troops congratulated them on their appearance, and said he felt sure that the interchange of such visits would do much to promote and cement the friendly feeling between the two great English- speaking nations.
