That two officers of the United States
cavalry will have places on the team
which Is to represent America in the
Madison Square Garden Horse Show, to
be given in New York in the near fu-
ture, has been practically decided by

herd. both of whom are stationed at
Fort Myer. and are well known In this
city. have been mentioned as the logical
candidates for the appointments to the
American team. nothing definite Is yet
known as to which officers will be se-
leCted to ride In the show.
Both Lieut. Shepherd and Captain
Baer said today that they had no Of
iicial order or knowledge warranting
