furnished by the 18th Cavalry Band.
The men put UP a fine Saber drill follow
ing the music with mechanical precision and
winding up with a charge, troop front

and Cossack drills perhaps showed off the
men and the horses to better advantage
than anything else. The soldiers vaulted
their animals while going over hurdles

time while going at lope. rode double
back to back; picked each other up from the
ground, and rode two and three horses at
once, finally doing pyramids on the trot

at the same time.
The artillerymen gave a fine exhibition Of
driving. and in addition to doing the regu-
lar battery drill put down stakes in the
center of the hall and drove between them
with the horses at a run and scarcely six
inches to spare between the wheels and the
stakes.

Abe Hummel, convicted Of conspiracy
in the Dodge-Morse case, and sentenced
to year in prison, got into Blsckwelrs
Island peniteutiary through the back
door yesterday. With the adIoit maneu-
yeripQ for which he and his partners
had been famous in the past, the tran
sition of tie little lawyer from his home
in east Ssventieth street, New YORK,
to the peui;e1tiary across the river was
accomplished in way to spare him tnst
which he most dreaded, the humiliation
of a public spectacle, such as would have
been his had he taken the usual route
of the prisoners bound for "The Island.
With his nephew, Abe Kafenbergh,
the man who directed some of the man
euyers in the Dodge-Morse case, Hum
mel left his house shortly before III
o. clock in the morning in a motor Car.
The automobile, big, swift touring
car, with q closed body, was swift enough
to dodge all pursuers.
Upon their arrival at the island they
took the path on the eastern side OF the
island and got in the back door.
Hummel arrived at the prison TOO late
Yesterday to go to work. He was put to
work this morning in the store house,
moving vegetables and picking over
potatoes for the kitchen. There are
heavy cases to move, and the work is
not considered light.
There are generally about IL men in
the storsos house gang, and II an emer-
gency requires it, they have to work IS
scullions and hsndymen in the kitchen.
Hummel's breakfast this morning ac-
cording to the printed menu for the
week, consisted of twelve ounces oil
hash, twelve ounces Of bread, and one
quart of coffee.
From an income of $500. 600 year,
over and above Office expenses OF $40, :
