During the earlier stages tho train
ing of the United States cavalryman
differs In no essential particulars from
that of the Infantryman, but, later on,
the great variety of Instruction In the
cavalry arm of the service renders It
most Interesting for both officers and
troopers. Beginning with the "setting-up"
exercises, the recruit looks
forward to the timo when be shall be
assigned his horse nnd be a full-tledged
cavalryman. The new horses, or "re

also look for the time when nocU

FANCY CAVALRY EVOLUTION THE MOVINU CK083.
Ithe old cavalry regiments, before the
Spanish war and the present reorganl
' aatlon, whole troops could give exhi
bitions of Cossack riding that were
Bat to he seen outside of a eVkus.
The troop known on the "Black
Home favalry," nt fort Myer. Vlr
Rlnln, contain men who nre believed
to he the finest riders In America.
Thousand of Washington society peo
ple go out to witness their weekly ex
hibition drills, nnil nre not only Inter
ested, Imt excited, .for there is nothing
more tlirI111n.it than n drill with the
vigor, mmp and precision that nre
characteristic of otir American env
nlry. ItcKlnnlnjt with the simpler evo
lutions of the troop these "Mack
Horse" troopers go through the
"School of the Troop" nt all galls
witli equal precision nnd n mnrvelous
uniformity. As In some of the Euro
pean armies nil American cavalrymen
are dragoons, that Is to say, they nre
trained to light both mounted nnd dis
mounted. While dashing down the
drill-ground, doing some Intricate
movement, the troop Is given the com
mand "dismount to tight on foot." nnd
In n couple of seconds the men are In
an Infantry (skirmish line, nnd their
horses nre being led to tho rear, nt a
full gallop, by the No. 4 of each set of
fours. Tho skirmish line advances,
firing "volleys by platoons," "by
squads," "llrlng nt will," etc. Upon
arriving nt the proper distance "mag
azine rapid Arc" is ordered, and finally
t lie Imaginary enemy Is charged and
captured. Then follow the exhibitions
of individual horsemanship Jumping
over hurdles nnd fences and covering
ditches nnd stone walls. A most In
teresting feature of the drill at Fort
Myer is the training of the horses nnd
their uno by the troopers ns a shelter
from the enemy's lire. At the com
mand of the capialn, n word from each
trooper, nnd the home goes down with
out a quiver, and lies nt full Iccgth ou
the ground, while the troopers lire
Willi carhluc and revolver from be
hind their shelter, nnd with the wenp
otiH resting ou tlio horses' bncks. An
other word of command, the firing
censes, the horses nre nil standing,
the trooper In the saddle, awaiting
further instruct Iocs.
For the Musical Itldo the nrenn Is
cleared, and from one of the cut ranees
nt the extreme end the band rides in,
followed by the entire troop, now
dressed In full review uniform, and
slowly circle around the luiiosure.
The entry is made In pairs, dividing
to the opposite sides of the ground,
the horses keeping time to the music,
nnd moving as a unit, turning, wheel
lug, halting, taking up the trot, the
gallop nnd tho tiinrge with the accur
acy, regularity nud mechanical pre
cision of clock-work. At Ihe entrance
end the leaders wheel about nnd break
Into a canter, which Is followed by nil
while a number of fancy movements
nre. gone through with crossing and
counter-crossing, forming stars, form
ing the figure eight, the ladles' chain,
circling around each other, und so
on, until tile spectators uro worked up
to the highest enthusiasm. Whcu
these figure are finished tho troop
draw up in two tiles nt the end of the
arena nud charge nt full gallop, cheer
lug nnd yelling, und only halting wlih-
in a few Inches of the wall at the other
end of the arena, when It seems that
every rider's neck will be broken by
the collision. Frits Mortis, lu Harper's

the committee to bind him to any de
sign of carriage as it would have been
to limit Stephenson to the "Rocket"
type of locomotive. The carriage, of
which this is a sectional view. Is sixty
feet long aud ten feet ten inches wide,
und has accommodation for 100 pas
sengers, each person huvlug a separate
sent, specially arranged so as to avoid
discomfort while passing round the
curves ut high speed. The electric
current Is picked up by trolleys at
tached to the car, but Insulated from
the bottom of the bogies flexibly
coupled together by a speclully de
signed Joint, of which the cerclage
consists. The bottom part of the car
riage Is quite open, bo thnt all the
guide wheels nre exposed to view, and
there is ample play between the car
riage and the line. The motors only
are completely shut off on all sides by
a box for tbelr protection. The guide
wheels nre two feet In diameter, und
there are sixteen. They are very
broad, und are Inclined vertically to
the trestles, Instead of being horizon
tal, thoreby considerably reducing the
friction. The guide wheels below the
driving wheels are attached to the un
der frame of the carriage, and those
between the two small bogle whoels
are attached to the centre of the bogle
Itself, so that they canuot move at all

be seen that in France the entire rump
