have resulted in untold improvement

Having a general and historical
theme TO follow, they have developed
a tale of the adventures, the colonials.
the pioneers of the wilderness who
wrought this country out OF their
own courage and with their own
hands.
Interspersed with the incidents and
scenes of pioneer life are the more

hunters ride and a travelling circus,

by the doughtiest. the fiercest lion
tanning act in all captivity.
Certain of the acrobatic equestrian
acts, the musical drills and such will
not be entirely unfamiliar to the reg
ulars of the Friday afternoon rides,
but even the standbys have been re-
decorated and spruced up with new
stunts. Every officer and unit on
the post contributed something to the
pageant this year, but it is said the
major share of credit is due Capt.
John Reybold, who held out for a
bigger and better script and setting
and brought forth WOW of a show.

~ EFORE the dress rehearsal Of
- his Fort Myer pageant the
other night, Col. Kenyon
- Joyce assured me that all his
troopers mounts were in fine voice.
He said the chestnuts had been
trained to sing tenor, the grays lead
and the bays baritone. This was
warmly reassuring to an old patron
of the horse opera, but as the eve
ming progressed could not help won-
dering why the colonel had been so
modest.
He said practically nothing about
the clever scenario, the brilliant cos
tuning and the other attributes which
will make this years exhibition the
most distinguished in the annals of
Fort Myer.
1t is considered rash to make pre-
dictions about the success of any
drama involving so many horses, peo-
