, Boston and Montana band carried
them on to the field with a Hawaiian
war piece. The music, their true
Sheiks dress, their spears and colors
at once caught the crowd, which
proceeded to unburden itself Aloha
Patrol put up unique, bewildering
and startling spear drill, the more
thrilling because it was silent per-
Torrance. Loud and long were the
cries of "Wela ka Hao!" when, at
the close, in patrol front, they sang
their kanaka anthem. The audience
went wild. and they could not retire
until they had rendered other native
melodies. Islam and Moslem were
perfect, but Aloha certainly was the
most popular,

Los Angeles Arab and Bedouin pa
trolls did not enter the drill but acted
as escorts, accompanying the visiting
patrols into the field as, singly, they
marched out to give their several eX-
hibition performances. First, the AL
Malaikah Arab patrol escorted the
Murat Arab patrol into the field and
retired. The indianapolis men then
gave fifteen minutes of evolutions
that were most spectacular and en-
tertaining, perfect in time and with
out duplication of the figures of the
drill. On their leaving the field, the
AL Malaikah Bedouin patrol escorted
the Buffalo boys into the field, and
they, in turn, entranced the specta-
tors with maneuvers that were unique
and perfect. Thus, one by one, the
various patrols succeeded each other
add it would have taken judges with
supernatural powers of perception to
have selected one which stood above
all others in points of excellence. No
attempt was made to do this and
each competing patrol was presented
with solid silver loving cup.
One unique feature of the drill was
the giving of orders, throughout the
in Arabic of the Sy-
li;.n's commander. The closing fig
ure in the drill was the formation by
the men of a huge horseshoe for the
final salaam. Moslem patrol wound
up its exhibition by giving accompany
yell in which was incorporated a
neat little compliment for Los An
seles.
Aloha Patrol from Honolulu won a
deal of applause and attention be-
cause of their location. They demon
strated that the islands of the sea"
are not behind the mainland in
chievement.
From all parts of the crowd little !
bursts of applause as the Ararats
went into the field demonstrated the
fact that Kansas City has many rep
esentativeS in Los Angeles. The pa
troll did not disappOint it's admirers !
