We then see the Emperor presenting colors to six regiments on the Durbar field. Next we are privileged to witness the finale of the Durbar polo tournament, in which the Enniskennings won from the Dragoon Guards. We then see the Royal pair showing themselves to the populace on the walls of old Delhi, both robed in the coronation regalia. Following comes a review of 50,000 soldiers, including cavalry, infantry, artillery, etc. A steeplechase race is next caught. Then we journey to the coast of North Africa, and there we see the "S.S. Delhi" of the Pacific and Oriental Line, on which the Royal party journeyed to the Durbar, being wrecked en route. A rugby game of football between a French team and an Irish team closes the events, supplemented by a fashionable exhibition, in which beautiful women display the latest modes in women's apparel.
