13,000 MEN ON PARADE. INSPECTION BY THE PRINCE. THE KING'S MESSAGE OF ADMIRATION. (By Our 8pecial Representative.) More than half of the Police Force of the most orderly Metropolis in the world "on parade and marching part with -a -reso lute left-righWeft, under a perfect Bummer ey. ine ceremonial music or bands, proud-stepping while and the Prince of Wales-In the van, of the 'Droces- sion, a mm, spruce Colonel of the; welsh Guards on a chestnut charger wilb.

jitst auf- nutciik spu-ii ii to impari-aaaea tnajesty to the occasion. No mere official, celebration, that of thei centenary of the PdHce Force, which was! marked by a parade of nearly' .13,000 all; ranKs in Hyde Park, and a march past the: Prince before Buckingham Palace yesterday afternoon. Londoners, who- densely the route and pirade ground, realised, nrobablv for the first time in their generation, the immensity of the ruitt; njiicn nas ensured uma uurmg viuu century. It was for once in being before their eyes over half a mile of it. rank on rank from the band lenclosure almost to the Marble Arch; a seemingly endless column, when tiled out in procession, reaching practically from Hyde Park to Buckingham t-tutice jiseu.

THE ETERANS. During the wait for the Prince, who arrived punctually at 4.30 the wlurt-ruffied plumes and white chargers of Viscount Byng (the Commissioner), Rear-ArJmlral C. W. R. Hoyds (the Deputy-Commissioner), and their staff made pretiy play against the sober blue of the parade the sunlit green of sward and tree, the red of May bloom, and the motley hats of Women in the enclosures by the Broad Walk.

There was one significant incident when a few survivors of the Force of our fathers' days ambled on to the parade-approach, to be greeted bv the Commissioner himself, and be told by him 11 hurry along to Buckingham Palace with their passes if they wanted to be in time fo- the royal salute. For ex-members of the Force which is always telling peoph; how to get there they seemed a littlr perplexed by this massive gathering police and peoplp. mu the younger stalwarts eagerly helped them on their way 1th a kindly word. A warm cheer from the crowds, the. Anthem from the policf bands, and a single from a bugle far up In the centre of the parade ground greeted arrival ol the Prince with his equerry.

Capt. J. R. Aird. aiM mounted polic tscort.

Accompanied by Lord -Byng and his staff, he made a complete circuit of the parade, while the band struck up May Blossom." Then, with the Prince leading, and UeuiCol. Laurie, the Deputy-Assistanl iuiunussioner, in command, the greit march to the Palace began, the Mounted detachment, with Its stinorh chestnuts, well to the fore, the bands playing Old Comrades." then The mrt r.rov Mare," the various divisions following in endless rank after rank, right deep. AT THE PALACE. Before the Palace there was even a ser crowd, with the children of the Police Orphanage making a Drettv t.r uMe ui me victoria Memorial. Near the saluting base bv the irates.

whnm Prince stood to take the salute, were Sir wuuam joynson hicks and Lord Byng. Assistant Commissioners, including Hon. Trevor Bigham, and other high wensiey and wi.i principal officers of the C.l.D. and SpecinJ Branch, among them Superintendents arown. Nicholls, Savage, and Cornish-names which have become familiar to the public (n the solution of the great crimi-s of recent years.

There was hardly a mem ber of the crowd near who-did' n-i crune a neck to get look at these fumoiw, but normally invisible personalities, so far as the public is concerned. Here was also a detachment of the London Women Police That march past was as impressive as any seen In that historic place of ceremonial parades, and if it lacked the usual military splendour it was onlv the more typically London for that eveYvday Ixin-don. Blue, one felt, was but the proper keynote for the century of public service which was being signally celebrated sombre though it looked in the maSs. The Duke of Connaught witnessed the procession from a dal? opposite Clarence House, where another salute was given before it dispersed on the Horse Guards Parade. But what a pfty there could not be a representation of the first 1,000 lop-hatted be- wltiskered.

Peelers ror comparison's sake I We should have realised the more i he vasl progress which has been achieved in a bare hundred years, against every en. croach of scientific and motor-aided crime. THE KING'S MESSAGE. FEELINGS.
