HISTORIC CEREMONY
TROOPING THE COLOURS. KING APPOINTS DEPUTY. (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, June 1. At the ceremony of trooping the Colours on the Horse Guards Parade on Tuesday, the salute will, by command of his Majesty, be taken by Field-Marshal the Duke of Connaught, senior colonel of the Brigade of Guards. It is considered that, while any' vestige of rheumatic trouble remains, it would not be advisable for the King to bear the strain of sitting on a horse for nearly two hours.
The Duke of Connaught, who passed his 80th birthday a month ago, celebrated yesterday afternoon his 50th year as Colonel-in-Chief of the Rifle Brigade. A special jubilee parade of the regiment with its attached territorial battalions was inspected in Hyde Park by the Duke. Fourteen hundred ex-servicemen of all ranks, drawn by an invitation broadcast last week, assembled and marched past their old commander.

We rejoice in the tidings of your improved health.”
