SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Dec. %
, Interest in Craftsmanship and horse
training has taken a new turn in the
| two mounted regiments ar Schofield
since it has been announced that a
team of several officers selected from
the 4th Cavalry and LIST Field Artil-
lery will be" sent to San Francisco to
take part in the international Mount
ed Competitions and Exhibitions" at
the Panama-Pacific exposition.
Word has just been received that
the mounted military competition
which had been set for May 3, and
5, has been postponed to some time
between Oct l and 9. -fhis will give
the officers longer period in which
to prepare their mounts, and to OBJ
tain new ones for the Hawaiian team.
The officers to compose the team
will be determined by a preliminary
competition to take place at Schoffeld
Barracks some time in July or August,
in which all officers will have the pri-
vilege of exhibiting their mounts.
On account of the European war
the competition at the Panama expo
sition will probably not be so fnterna-
tional in it's character as those which
took place at Stockholm and London,
in which our officers took part, or the
one at Madison Square garden four
years ago. The Canadian, Italian,
Swedish and Swiss armies are GER
tain to be represented, and possibly
several others. -. g..
. Fierce windstorms at 'Sehofield have
wrecked nearly all theiHinsy canvas
garages. The gale last Saturday car
ried the roof off the ISilehua depart
ment store and depositedalit on the
roof of the Gayalry.artillery amuse-
ment hall 1850 feettaway. This start
ed the roof of the latter building and
900 square feet were sFcarried away.
During the f1ercest part of, the storm
Sergt. Burrows, foreman carpenter,
risked his life by carrying a heavy
rope over the part oftthe roof that re-
manned and probably saved the build
ing from being total wreck. A two

lehua department store event through
the roof of the POST exchange and then
through the front of the building. A
number of soldiers and employees mar
rowly escaped being struck by this
intruding piece of timber:

Christmas trees in all of the regi-
ments brought happiness to the chill
dren Of the post Friday afternoon.
Santa Claus visited the 25th Infantry
amusement hall with presents for
more thanI so children of that regi-
ment. Chaplain Ignatius Fealy took
the part of Santa Claus for the LIST
Field Artillery and brought all the
children of the regiment together at
the Cayalry-Artillery hail, where they
talked to Santa Claus, sang Christmas
carols and received candy and pretty
toys IY number of children the 4th
Cavalry has all the other regiments
topped. Toys we're taken off the regi-
mental Christmas tree for 81 children

will be played at Fl. Shafter between
the End Infantry, and the 1st Infantry,
and at Schofeld between the Engin

the teams. In the previous games be-
tween these teams, the Engineers de-
feated the Artillery 10 to 0, and the
End Infantry were the victims of the
LIST by score of 20 to 0.
