TULSA ENTERTAINS
3RD n. Y. REGIMENT
Boys on Way to Border
Give City Once Over
and Like 1t.

For four hours yesterday afternoon
Tulsa streets were filled with crack
national guardsmen of the Third New
York infantry regiment as they en-
Joyed their daily period of rest ana
exercise while the special train stood
waiting at the Frisco depot. During
the dav oil three sections of this regi-
mcnt passed through Tulsa on the
way to the border, but only the last
tram stopped for any length OF time.
The mon swarmed into every cor
ner of the downtown district, chatting
freely Of their adventures and eXpec-
tatiOns with whomSoever they met.
They did not seem to mind the heaN
as badly as Tulsans, but the weather
was a favorite topic of conversation.
The Third New York was recruited
i'm the upstate cities Of the Empire
state and dozen OF the men struck
out immediately from the train to look
up friends who live in Tulsa. The
battalion which stopped here tor the
four hours probably was the best
known section that has passed through
Tulsa.

We're forced to join their comrades at
