THE REVIEW

The great feature of December 14th was the Review by His Majesty of nearly fifty thousand troops which had assembled in Delhi. These comprised forty-five battalions of Infantry, thirteen regiments of Cavalry and one hundred and fourteen guns. The Commander-in-Chief, His Excellency General Sir O'Moore Creagh, V. C., G. C. B., was in command. The Review was a most brilliant function, and His Majesty subsequently sent a message to the troops expressing his profound satisfaction with their appearance and evolutions.
