AID DOMINIONS.
LONG-FORGOTTEN FUND FOUND LONDON, February 18. The Dominion and colonial military contingents for the Coronation will benefit by a windfall of £0000 following a Treasury discovery of a long forgotten fund. This will now lie devoted to the additional entertainment of the 1500 men coming to the 1037 celebrations, who have already been included in Government, regimental and private hospitality plans. The amount is the balance of a voluntary fund subscribed to provide hospitality for Kin pile militias at George V.'s Coronation in 1911, and which has not been liquidated owing to the death of the trustees. Among other things, the Dominion visitors will be given an insight into British territorial organisation, visiting important centres throughout the country. They will also be invited to attend the naval review at Spitliead. which is the highlight of the celebrations.
