Every Inch Soldier with Iho a non ago of conscious Pohr aristocrats Tho British Anny Tho shrewish Tongue of envy and it has Herou at recurring periods a fashionable form of raillery to Call them knights of Tho pm but when those Nii n been put to the test of Active or Rico Thoy have dispelled this illusion and those who read of to lion it water Loo or Inke Ruwin or who saw them on Tho Sands of Egypt so recently a Tol Al Kebir read or saw feats of urim such As none but the of Jet por factly disciplined and Export horsemen a the world could have executed. Nor is this it All surprising when Ono comos to give a More than 3 galloping Tho guns through Vari Ous co Lutious. The Competition differs from the thus Del ride in Ono important pc a duty Drill but it is like it in another in that each of the team rides Tho same horse he has trained and each Man works with the other men with whom he has been in the habit of Actium. It consists in each team of six horses with their gun driving at a Trot round Tho Circle of the Hall Between twelve sets of round blocks about a foot High Laid on the ground Only just so far apart is that Thero is Allu Grihor three inches Moro space Between them than there is in the external diameter of Tho wheels of the gun Carriage and sub sequently to Gallop full Speed round Tho Samo by nce with sets of three feet High into posts bet so Taftt Thero is six inches Moro actor Between them than there is Tho wheels of the gun Carriage. A feat Llu nicety of which can Best estimated in Rhino Riibe ing that each team consists of Thieo pairs of horses linked on to each othe by Ropos Only that each pair is Ridden my led Man that the gun Carrini is per Toetly rigid without Spring or Jowui and time Tho gun is attached to it by a log and Pivot it Tho Back round which Tho inn can revolve or swerve to any Angle which awk Aai Doss or Accident permit it and that the touch would topple Over the wooden Cones which Mark the trotting course or displace Tho Anglo of the posts which Murk Tho Gallop. Of Tho other sports not strictly Drill per haps Tho next most popular is the tout Peg Ging n in Stimus which is most frequently indulged in by t to troops both native Aud regular of India from whence it was brought Homo few Yeai s ago by the seventh and from whom it Hui spread through All Tho cavalry of Tho Lino. It not an easy performance it require. A firm seat a Quick c3 i and an Iron wrist to Eft Oci successfully. So accomplished it is a very pretty feat of arms and Utu us 11 very useful one too for the Man who can lift tout Peg. Without fail has gone in far in Tho use of Tho deadly Lance As any enemy he is Likely to meet in War. The is a Ordinary wooden Lent Peg three inches Broad and a foot Long Dri von nearly into Tho ground until less than half of it remains in sight. At this object Enuco in hand the trooper rides full tilt strikes it on the Gallop and without our moment relaxing Tho grasp of his Lance or the Speed of his horse he has to a successful to wrench it out of the ground and carry it Awny.

Is Durntion to Tho British army and if f Uduc the unmounted infantryman Whoso Niagai Titus. How otherwise compare telvely Small it set a relied on to Dis i duties in All parts of Tho Wor Lur if every unit in it Wero not brought to the highest Stato of physical perfection and military Export nobs How could it Possi Bly withstand the Strain which climate Aud or vice Over a Dominion on which Tho Sun never sets imposes upon it such duties Are not fulfilled by merely providing As Tho great armies of Franco of Sinany and other Continental countries mainly do an immense mass of food Tor modern artillery to shatter into fragments at distances which be reckoned by Miles Thoy require a physical ability and trained Uso in Tho primitive a capos of the world Tho Sward and the Lance such As is not called into requirement by Tho great Maue Vring millions who play Tho game of in the so called civilized countries of Europe where Given Tho data Tho Liko those at Choss Caubo forecast and can not be deviated from. The British Soldier bits mainly to meet his enemy at the Gate single handed face to face and to grapple with him there in personal conflict As Force and dependent As much on personal skill endurance As did the knights of old who met Tho ancestors o his to Day s ene Mies in the crusades. Hence it follows that the training of the British Soldier to to successful must be physical painstaking and skillful. To has to treated As an individual unit and every ounce of strength and atom of skill he has in i u has to to developed to the highest Point Caro system Long knowledge of Tho Art and experienced teachers can bring out of him. And so it is that when Tho recruiting officer has once got hold of Tho raw to Crit the Mere Frame of Bone and muscle fresh from Tho plough Tail Fotou Over Grovern and oftener underfed for his years Aud strength Tho first routine is out of that material to knit together Tho Man to Loose Tho stiffened joints to Mako supple Tho Brawny shoulders which nature has provided to strengthen the Loog logs to Sot up Tho Back Bones to turn his Muscles into Iron and his sinews into Cord. For this purpose Tho recruit a handed Over to Tho precincts of Tho gymnasium where for the Glrst Throo months to almost lives. When All this is Over and it Udoro in that Timo or sufficiently forwarded Lorf Mthr Progress to be assured his own father Upahl ten Coly know him. No longer the ungainly Slouch which his occupation had tended to produce and habit had con firmed but straight Asau Arrow Quick eyed As n Limber As a Serpent and Strong As n son of to is ready for Tho Riding reboot and Tho two ordeals As painful Oral Asiu their soveral departments As Tho gymnasts and crowned m Tho majority of cases with a Success As signal. The admirable results of to rigid train ing Tocao Meu must undergo Aro Best seen at Tho Ann id tournaments hold in agricultural Hall Islington All branches of Tho service cuter into the Dos play Aud Competition. The exercises which Aro Given May be roughly divided into two classes those which come within Tho Ordinary routine of Tho Soldier s for instance As the Bayonet and sword Aud those which no imported from his amusements such As Tho tout and they May furthermore be More or less again divided two those which Appeal to Iho As spectacles and those which exhibit Tho expert Ness strength or skill of the individual. As a spectacle undoubtedly Tho most pleasing is that prod cod by Tho musical which Emiily Falls to Tho household cavalry. Indeed As an exhibition of Docil a and intelligence on the part of Tho horse jul Pati Euco of who part of the men who Niu them for Tho effect As a labor of love acid not of duty it would be Difili Eilt to n More pleasing or instructive or Pic striking feature. Tho faultless mid get up of Tho men Tho spirit which in every step of Tho horse and every of his oyo Tyllo Ovid Cut de to which Thoy Are under Choiu a Deuce of time Aud symphony in Tho music he mingling maw of flashing Stoel and glinting color which the uniforms give As Tiey in and out the is nce or swerve and faultless As Tho spokes of a wheel rom id its Hub Tho precision of movement physique could not fail in any a Embly in Tho world to by remarkable m one is sympathetic As is gathered in it is not surprising or beyond Tho Nienke of Justice to pronoun e them Edmir 41. To la m p though Imp fur it an exhibition of Minnag finont and capacity on Tho horde s in perform exact movements is that comes out in Tho competitions of Tho Art Terr Coull St of teams Trot Zinc is emptied is swooped Down upon by a armed with his sword and each rushes at the other of if dear life a pc idea on it or Man Euver for Posi Tion us if a slip would not Only end Tho Chance of glory but their Days. It looks in real and Tho spirit of it is As much so that when Tho Bayonet or pc coins to Pierce the Cavalryman under Tho Arm and glides apparently six inches into him one almost expects to see the blood follow its withdrawal. It is Only when to Aro confidently informed that the is Sot of a snog and retires Down thu barrel instead of entering Tho Man s Side that Eppro Hounion is wholly removed. Of the theoretical Drill it in May be so o., Tho Drill which is directed to developing accuracy Aud quickness without the interposition of a living Are Long and varied competitions of which that known As Heads and Job the May he taken As a Type. In this Competition the horseman has to traverse a distance of about 100 Yards during which he has to gain his impetus execute six Dis Tinct evolutions with Tho sword three on one Side of his horse and three of the other jump a flight of hurdles and Como to a dead Stop and Mehai to do each of these in t a orthodox regulation Way and in no other. Every muscle in Tho body and Evory Bone in Tho band Aud Arm must be just where theory says it will be most effective and in 110 other place. It is this which gives Tho com Potsou and the antecedent Drill their disciplinary value. Tho Fli so evolution at the end of Tho first fifteen you is is a Forward Cut on the right of Tho horse which must Sopor the neck of a Dummy head Lovolo like n Bupp Osol Foch in with Tho Cavalryman s Arm and Lay it Roll ing in Tho dust. The next at fifteen Yards of to loft of the horseman is a thrust at a supposed foe and in proof of the accuracy of the aim the horseman must remove a ring of his sword Point. Tho third is a Back handed Cut which must bring Down another head supposed just to have Ridden up. Then comes Tho hurdle and on Landing almost at its foot is another thrust. The fifth is a Low Cut at infantry on the opposite Quick As lightning Aud the final a thrust at infantry represented by a Ball on Tho loft Side very Low. Seeing that the whole of those operations must to performed with regulation accuracy their rapid and perfect accomplishment Marks a swordsman of ingenuity and Nice finish whom the Transfer to actual welfare would find ready.
