MILITARY REVIEW.
By Telegraph.— Association.—Copyright.
(Received May 11, 12.5 a.m.)
Melbourne, May 10. Flemington' Road was reminiscent of Cup day, with its crowds of vehicles. Unfortunately the success of the review was marred by occasional showers of driving rain. Nevertheless, there was an enormous attendance of the public.
At two o'clock the Duke, in the uniform of Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, arrived, attended by Lord EL-petoun in the uniform of Commander-in-Chief. Prince Alexander of Teck, in the uniform of the Seventh Hussars, awl the Duke of Roxburgh and Viscount Crichton, in the uniform of the Royal Horse Guards,
The Duchess and suite came in a carriage.
The Duke then rode down the lines and inspected the different regiments. After this was accomplished the Royal party took up a position in front of the Royal pavilion to witness the march ] st of both arms of the service, naval and military, numbering 15,000 men and cadets. With the exception of the Victorians the other States' infantry was under the command of Colonel Teuton, the whole of the Federal troops being under the supreme command of Major-General French.
The story which had been circulated about the intention of the Duke of York to give a present to the parents of every child born in Australia on the day of his landing, is entirely without foundation. Already a great many birth certificates have been received by the Duke's secretary.
