POLICE ON PARADE
REVIEW IH SYDNEY Press Association— By Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, April 29. Fifteen hundred members of the New South Wales Police Force marched through the city to-day. Cycle patrols, wireless patrols, and **black marias also toek part in this most unusual procession. Nothing like it has ever occurred before. Even the porlic eare not awarre of the motive. A section of the Press described it as a gesture for the public benefit. There were lusty cheers along the route. The Governor (Sir Philip Game) took the salute in the vicinity of Parliament House, and with him were the Premier (M« J. T. Lang), the Chief Secretary (iffr M. Gosling), .the Chief Commissioner of Police (Mr Childs), and the former police chief (Mr Mitchell). An excited crowd at the saluting base cheered the Premier vociferously when he was about to depart. The official explanation is that it was merely a police review, similar to those held in other parts of the world. It was simply part of police _ drill and training, and had no other significance.
