In celebration of the completion of the enthronement ceremonies 36,000 troops, drawn from every arm and unit of the Japanese army, passed in review before the Emperor this morning, The whole of the Imperial Guards division and the Lst Division were present, while other divisions ments. were represented hyweleeted detached
The scene of the review way the Yoyogi Parade Ground, a wide open expanse of sandy common land ying on the outskirts of the city. 'There, at an early hour, the troops began' to assemble in their allotted places, clad, not in brilliant, flashing fulllress uniforms such are worn on similar ceremonial occasions by the British army, but in business-like Khaki service kit.
Only among the privileged specta-tore—the foreign naval and m attechés, the diplomats, and officials of the Japanese Army and Navy who were not actually participating in the review—was splash of bright colour to be seen.
The arrival of His Imperial Majesty was heralded by a salute of 101 guns and by buglers rouading the royal salute, while simultaneously the geand sivelling strains of the "Kuni Ga Yo," the Japanese National Anthem, arose. from and of the Imperial Guards Di sion, Though the playing of th: two tunes at the yama moment produced a succession of violent discords, the general effect was strangely impressive, The Inspection Mounting his charger, the Emperor, accompanied by a number of the "ding figures in the Japanese Army on horse-back and followed by the Military Attachés of the Foreign Powers in their brilliant full-dress uniforms, set off inspect the troops drawn regiments and battalions around the wide parade ground, Slowly the Imperial vavaleade proceeded on its way and each regiment in turn, as the Emperor approachei! it, stood smartly to attention and presented colours, while the re-mental budge-s sounded the ro; Ite, guns, howitzers, "heavies" and ficldkung—and after a sufficient interval had elapsed to enable all these get well clear, line after line of cavalry swept past at the trot.
For 35,000 troops to pass by takes much time, a arly one hour and a half was required before the whole of this great force had passed the saluting base.
At last the Re w came to an tend. Once more the bugles blared forth the Royal Salute, and the stirring strains of the "Kuni G: Yo" were played by the band of the Imperial Guards Division, as the Emperor, accompanied by" his left the parade ground.
tckly the vast concourse of spectators began to disperse, followed soon after by the troops, and the Grand "Enthronement Review was over.—Reuter.
