London, Nov. 9.
The Lord Mayor's show held this afternoon was a great military Pageant. It was London's first opportunity of acclaiming the soldiers and sailors. They rapturously comed the Canadians, New-found-landers and New Zealanders and cheered the London Scottish till they were hoarse, as also the matines who fought at Antwerp.
The Guildhall Banquet to-night, like to-day's pageant with the Dominion troops, assumed an essentially military aspect. There was a brilliant gathering of repre-
527 sen tives of the Allies, who were specially toasted. Besides the honoured guests representing France, Russia, Japan, Belgium, Servia and Montenegro, and the Ambassadors of the neutral Powers, there waa the usual splendid gathering of members and ex-members of the Cabinet and representatives of every section of the community.
