END OF SOLDIERS SHOW.
ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL EVER
HELD-FIGHT BETWEEN SOLDIERS.
AND ONE MAN ARRESTED.

Colonel Luscomb, the president of the Military
Athletic League said at the conclusion Of the
show at Madison Square Garden last night that the
weeks tournament had been one of the most sue
cessful held by the organization and that ne
and the other members OF the league were deepiE
grateful for the generous support given TO the
tournament by the soldiers and sailors and lhe
general public. With the profits OF the tournament
much good work be done looking toward the
further announcement of athletics in the army ana
navy The troops were reviewed last night by
General Michael V Sheridan. General Sheridan
enthusiastically applauded, and he was ac-
companied by Brevet Brigadier-General Clous,
Colonel Moore. Colonel Wilson, Lieutenant-Colonel
Dravo Major story Major Curbuser Major Jones
and Captain Reeber all staff officers of the De
partment of the East.
While accidents have been numerous in the
course of the week. and many of the soldiers and
sailors have been laid up with malaria, there mas
been only one really unpleasant incident and tnat
happened last night. Just after the review Cor
poraI Wells and Private Alley of the nth infantry
had words which resulted in the corporal SMASH
ing Alley the head with the butt OF MS gun
The blow was sufficient to stun Alley ana 10 oreaA
the gun Wells was arrested by some Of his own
men. Alley badly cut on the head but not
severely injured Private Jones, OF the west folAt
Cavalry, wrenched knee severely during t"e
matinee performance. The West Point CavarS
and the 4th Battery will leave the city early this
morning.
The tournament has demonstrated TO the minus
that fine feathers, plumeS anu HsisHlAS
colors while pleasing the eye, do not create the
enthusiasm that the regulation fighting uniforms
arouse The most enthusiastic applause or the
week has been given to the plainly dressed sailors
and regulars who close 70 wearing hght-
ing clothes" as dress parade arrangement VIII
permit.
