gram followed by an equally interesting
musical program was the feature of Fri
day nights Stick the Post" en-
tertainmtnt. The evening opened with
two well staged wrestling matches both Of
which resulted mites. Caller and Fox, both
of the Sixteenth cavalry, opened the en-
tertainment and for twelve minutes strove
for mastery. Either the two men agreed
or referee Lamare forgot TO specify, that
the toe hold was barred and this gave Gal

leg or force Caller 10 his back, yet neither
one happened.
The second match between Heason, a
former city police officer, new a cook in II
troop Of the Sixteenth, and Lagazza from
Harrington was absolutely a draw. So
evenly matched were the two men tbC
most Of the time both were on thesr feet.
Several times the cavalryman threw his
opponent clear Of the mat and to the
ropes. but the return was 80 quick hat no

Mcclure, formerly of the pack train but
now of the Sixteenth cavalry, and Emer-
ich of the Sixteenth, staged the fastest OF
the evenings boxing matches, in which the
decision was given Emerich. Both fight
ers were a. game a. they make them and
each stood an unusual amount of punish
ment. In the first round Mcclure seemed
to have the best Of IL and forced Ernerich
To remain covered most of the time. En-
erich came back smiling in the second and
carried the fight the rest of the way
through.
Kid Gleason. a new fighter IN the post
and one from whom the fans expected

Boyos of III troop. The best thing that
can be said of Boyes' attempt against the
biz artlleryman was his sp~ortsmanship.

TN the vaudeville program the Il com

popular songs made a decided hit. Miss
Vivian Ashheim in instrumental numbers.
Miss Veronica RIDLEY in Scottish songs
and dance, and Miss Georgia Dancy in
readings, were new corners who were well
received. Miss Mary Bertha Hicks in re-
wing an old ~favorite from the Three

II might be stated that there may be bet

Gould left the stage for the army when the
war broke out and certainly he has had
the training that makes him a wonderful
pianist.
