tho Queens own. was tho feature at the
military tournament in Madison Square Gar

entertainment that will long be remembered
by those who were present. They marched
into the arena more than 900 strong, COM

the city, marched to the armory Of the Twelfth
Regiment, where they are to be quartored

band was in two sections, a bugle band OF
