Some of the Feats That Delighted the Audience at Fort Myer Yesterday. Troop A of the sixth cavalry gave an ex- hibition drill in the pig riding hall at Fort Myer yesterday afternoon. It was the first exhibition of the sort that has been given since Fort Myer was made the regimental headquarters of the sixth cavalry, and, con- sidering the fact that the troopers have only had a covple of months’ experience in the riding hall, their work yesterday after- noon was surprisingly good. At the posts to which the various troops were assigned in the west there was nothing in the way of a cdvered hall for practice riding, so that the men of the sixth cavalry felt that they were not as well up as they might be in the “fancy business” of riding under roof, but it was the expressed desire of Gen. Schofield that they should make a public appearance as soon as possible after their assignment to this city. While oid cavalrymen do not look with much favor on these fancy drills, for the reason that they think they are of comparatively litule practical value as compared with regula- tion drills, they yet admit that anything that makes a trooper a more expert horse- man is a good thing for the service. The exhibition drill yesterday was en- titled a “Cossack drill,” and it was well named, for the riding would compare fa- vorably with any show of fancy horse- manship ever seen in this city. It was done by troop A, which is probably the crack drill troop of the regiment, and was under the command of Lieut. Short, who ig a past grand master in the art of riding. He is an enthusiast on the subject, and it is largely to his zeal and hard work that the excellence of fhe-performance yester- day is due. The Cossack drill has been tried by @ number of enthusiastic cavalry officers at western posts, but nothing of the sort had ever been seen in this city be- fore outside of a circus tent. The an- nouncement of the exhibition sufficed to ut- tract across the river more than enough people to till the gallery in the hal! and all available standing room about the entrance and windows of the ring. It was an en- thusiastic crowd, and many of the feats that were accomplished drew forth un- stinted app!ause. Splendid Horsem: ip. ‘The troopers were attired in light riding clothes, leggings, trousers and blue flannel shirts, with neat white sailor ties and fa- tigue caps. It was shortly after 2 o'clock when they entered the drill hall, thirty- two strong, under command of Lieut. W. C. Short. ‘The first sergeant of the troop, Stevenson, is an old soldier, a veteran of the war, who has been for thirteen years past first. sergeant of this troop. He is himself a splendid rider, and what he does not know about a horse is hardly worth bothering about. Two other men who also covered themselves with glory yester- day wer? Privates Hattley and White, who rode in the Roman style—that Isto say, riding two horses apiece, with one foot on each horse. This was considerably more of a teat in a big riding hall like the one at Fort Myer than it is when done in a comparatively small arena under a cir- cus tent. The horses were not tigd to- gether in any way, and it took a rare de- gree of skill to drive them so that they would not become too widely separated as they galloped wildly around the ring. In this feature of the program, as in all the rest of the exercises, there was not the slightest sign of a mishap, and the whole exhibition passed off as smoothly as if run by clockwork. fs Getting in Saddle. “Upon entering the ring, the men formed on the right-hand side of the building in columns of fours, and trotted around the ring, while the band of the sixth regiment played a quickstep. There was some clever jumping over low hurdles, over which the whole troop, solidly bunched, satled as gracefully as a big blue bird. ‘Then the men rode in line, with their stir- rups crossed over the saddles, standing up in the stirrups, a la Cossack. Then they dashed about the ring by twos, with the cinches unfastened. It looked as though it was a very ticklish style of riding, and, || in fact, one saddle did slip off and fall into the tan bark, but the trooper, although he || lost his saddle, did not lose his seat, for || he sat gracefully on the saddle blanket, and picked up his saddle by the stirrup and put it back in place on the horse’s back without ever losing his position in line or seeming in the least bit rattled. | | Some Hard Fents. | | One of the prettiest features of the after- noon was when the men had all been spread out in very open order, so that they "filled the entire hall. Then, at the word of com- mand, bridle reins were pulled sharply to the right, while the men threw all their weight the other way, and the horses were compelled to lie down. as though a battle were on and this had been done for their protection. In an instant all were up again at the word of command, and as the horses rose to their feet the men dropped lightly Into the saddles and were ready to be off again. Then a line of thirty-two was formed across the front of the hall and all were backed the entire length of the build- ing at a good, fast walk, the line being kept perfect all the time. The horses were then placed side by side as close as they could stand, so that the thirty-two saddles made a bridge, across which the light-footed troopers ran, leaping to the ground on the For Christmas—and you want to return the compliment at New Years—do it.

All sorts of athletics over horses followed — springboard jumping, vaulting, mounting’ in variqus ways—treating the horse of flesh and blood very much as ath- letes do the leather horse in a gymnasium. Grand Charge. One cf the features that seemed to please the audience well was a grand charge the whole length of the building at a pace so rapiq,that it seemed as though the horses could not be stopped, but must plunge through the other end of the building. They pulled up short, however, from a fast gallop, the men yelling like wild In- dians all the time, so that when they did finally come to a halt the noses of the horses were but a few inches from the wall. Running alongside of bareback horses, holding on by the bridle and the mane, the men vaulted lightly onto their horres’ backs just as they were jut ing a hurdle, Then half the men woul run along on fost beside the men who were riding, resting their hands on the cantles of the saddles, and would jump on behind just as the horses were in air jumping over the hurdles. ‘These were only a few of the feats with which the hardy and graceful troopers en- tertained the audience, and, taking it all in all, the exhibition was a most delightful on». The officers of the sixth did them- selves proud in entertaining the people who went over from the city, and there is no doubt whatever that they will keep up the reputetion of the post for hospitality, and add greatly thereunto. —— Shield of Honor. On Tuesday evening last the Grand Lodge of Maryland, Shield of Honor, instituted Capitol Lodge, No. 58, jurisdiction of Mary- land. Officers were elected for the ensuing term, and the new and beautiful ritual of the order was worked for the first time since its adoption.
