Cole, gave severalmusi: cal items and the "Ode" of the club was sung, this being followed by the: introduction of Dr. Alari Teririent, who received a warm welcome. Dr. Tennent said he thought that' the Coronation films which were to be showri" would be of special interest, as the audience, no doubt, knew many mem.bers of the contingent. ' Opening with scenes of Wellington and the various ports en route to Eng--land,-.the films proved of ,absorbing, interest.- Many well-known parts -ofLondon were shown, and these were, followed by "shots" of the contingenttaking part in 'military ceremonies,"1, notably the Changing of the Guard.'
