MILITARY DAY
 TRI-STATE FAIR.
ARKANSAS TRooPs MAKE Coop SHOwING-ONE WOUND ED IN SHAM BATTLE.

Wednesdays Memphis Commercial Appeal
 Khaki and gray were conspicu- ous yesterday on the grounds of the Tri-State Fair. It was Mili- tary Day, and x-Confederate Day, officially speaking, at the fair, and both the troops and the brave old boys who fought for the "storm cradled nation that fell'' made the occasion a pleasant one and each were distinct features at the fair.
 Three Companies, E, L and M, Second battalion, First Tennessee infantry, commanded by Major J. B. Horton, executed many of the latest military evolutions on the grounds, and especially was the sham battle which took place late in the afternoon, enjoyed by the big crowd.
 In the sham battle a blockhouse was stormed by the three com panies, the men scattering, duck ing and firing with delightful realism. The blockhouse was held by Company G, Arkansas First regiment of infantry, and a number of other troops belonging to vari- ous regiments. The blockhouse defenders were game and took good aim, killing two and wound ing three of the attacking army, only one man being hit by a frag- ment of shell in the blockhonse. The spectators were delighted with the battle.
 The former wearers of the gray arrived on the grounds individally. That is, many of them visited the fair with their wives, children or grandchildrn and renewed acquain- tances after they got with the gates. Many of the veterans bought luncheons at one of the many booths on the grounds, got out on the grass under the shade of tree and partook of the repast while they discussed the events of of the time when they Were fight ing Dixie's battles.
 The sham battle took place about 5:3O o'clock and was wit messed by big crowd, who be- came very much interested as the firing became general. The Ten nessee troops attacked a fort in possession of Arkansas troops and number of other soldiers from mixed regiments. The attack was made from three different places at the same time. The battle was hot while it lasted, but in less than an hour the fort ran up the white flag, Gen. Hackney surrendered and handed his sword gracefully to Gen. Horton.
 ATTACK WE'LL PLANNED
 The attacking maneuvers were splendid. The men scattered beautifully, ducked nicely and fired with regularity and determi- nation. The attacking army was forced to cross a wide plain to reach the fort. and did so under a whitening fire from the defenders of the fort. Two killed and three wounded under these circumstan- ces is not 6 bad record. In the Arkansas-mixed army only one man received a slight wound, which was caused by the frag- ment os shell hitting him while he was swabbing cannon.
 The hospital corps and Red Cross nuraes took charge of the dead and gave immediate relief to the wounded.
 Major R. B. Keating, of the First regiment, Arkansas infantry was an interested spectator at both the drills and the battle. He pro- nounced the work of the Tennessee troops to be excellent, and said that Major Horton and the various officers under him, whom he had
