Fort Myer Soldiers to- Take Part
in Madison Square Garden
Tournament.

Active preparations are now 4taeiHg made
by composite troop of the 18th Cavalry
and the 4th Battery OF Field Artillery. both
stationed at Fort Myer, for participation in
the annual tournament at Madison Square
Garden, New York. under the auspices of
the Military Athletic League Of America.
The tournament this year is to be held
during the first week in May. and the two
organizations to be present from here will
represent their respective arms of the
United States army in the gangs that are
to take place.
The officers of the 10Th Cavalry have ex-
perienced much difficulty In getting to-
gether troop for the drill to fe given in
New York by reason of the faSt that the
entire regiment has been in the Philippines
during the past three years, and has had
little opportunity to develop the skill of the
men in horsemanship outside of their reg
ular drills that are necessary for routine
duty. Another setback experienced by this
organization was caused by the sexpiration
OF the enl1StmentS of many OF the men In
the various troops. The nunlbef of expe-
rienced horsemen to select from was there
fore reduced to q minimum, and the troop
that is now being drilled for the Madison
Square Garden exhibition is made up to a
great degree of recruits, who are absolutely
new to the service. The men are making
excellent progress with their work, how
count of themselves.
The composite troop will be ean,manded
by Capt. Francis J. Rooster or Troop E.
He will be assisted by First Lieut. Francis
II. Cameron, jr, and Second Lieut.. +Chas.

will give an entirely new exhibition of the

regulations. The 4th Battery is3in excel

pected to give a. very good account of IT.
