Be Big Speotacle'in Navy ,
Yard Carnival
The most exciting, perhaps, of the
many novelties on the program of. the
Play Day for the marines in the navy
jard today will be the Horse Marine
battle.
Something new in athletic carnivals
is the horse and-rider ftght. A giaud
melee between companies of marines,
each contestant being mounted on the
shoulders of another marine and wear
ing boxing glov'es, will be Oic most
spectacular event of the day.
On signal opposing lines of horse ma
rines in great numbers will come to
gether after the fashion made familiar
to (students of Counn Dojlc's romances.
The "horse" will have all he can do to
hold his feet nnd his rider nt the fcnino
time, and his rider will seek to pum.Ii
ibis opponent off his seat, which means
thnt he is out of the light.
From time to time the whistle is
blown for a brief rest, after which the
losers retire nnd the survivors line up
for another attack. The company hav
ing the least number of men' unhorsed
nt the tinal Call wins the battle and
the prize. '

Tho story or n fifteen-minute
audience with the King of England was
told today by Captain John II. Potter,

to his home jesterdny.
Captain Potter accompanied General
Biddle to Buckingham Palace on the day
of the signing of the armistice, to in
scribe the names of the American staff
in England in the guest book there.
King George learned of their presence
in the palace nnd asked that they be
presented to him. They were then
granted n iiftcen-minnte audience.
"The king paid splendid tribute to the
Americnn troops, said Captain Potter.
"There was a great throng below cheer
ing him, and every now and then he
would go to the window to answer
them. On one of his trips back from
the balcony from which he bowed to
them, he told General Biddle that a
large body of American troops had jus.1
arrived in the throng below. Ills face
glowed us he spoke of them."
