Maj; L. R. Gisnilliat U. s; A., superin-
tendent of the Culver Military Acad-
emy, who is author of Arms and the

The infantry battalion wears full
dress uniform similar to that worn by
the West Point Cadets. except the
shakos. which are Of white broadcloth
with patent leather tops.
The headquarters Of the Culver
Cadets is at the Ebbitt House.
Horses which the members of the
Black Horse Troop are riding during
their presence in the National Capital
are "brand-new." When Indianas IA
nous schoolboy troopers. constituting
the mounted troops or the Culver Mill
tary Academy, acted as escorts to Mr..
Marshall in 1913 they rode black horses,
but not the same ones they ride at this
Inauguration.
Shortly after the Inauguration of
1913 the stables of the Culver Military
Academy were destroyed by fire, and
the splendid animals were nearly all
killed. That is why the coal-black
horses which the boys ride in 1917
have never trod Pennsylvania avenue
before.
The mounts Of the Black Horse Troop
are caparisoned in shiny tan saddles
and gray saddle blankets. with the Gull
yer monogram in yellow leather.
