at the Larger Posts.

Fort Riley, Kan, March 21.-The quar-

the subject of equipping posts where cav
airy and field artillery are stationed in
any numbers with veterinary hospitals,
and upon the request of this department,
a board of officers has been convened at
Fort Myer Va, for the consideration of
the best type of hospital. 1t is probable
that the first one will be here and that it
will be used in connection with the syS-
TEN of instruction in the school for far

appliances, with accommO dationS for so
horses, will be built in the larger posts.
When the squadron of the Eleventh
