Seven branches of the service were represented and 26,000 men were at the scene. It was the greatest thing of the kind ever held In the army, far surpassing every previous attempt.

And it did. Before the finish of events at the end of the week, soldiers and civilian spectators had seen every conceivable maneuver and test of skill. There was fencing with broadsword end bayonet There was wall scaling by Infantrymen and by artillery platoons that canned field guns over a wall and discharged them on the other side within three minutes. There was Individual scouting. There was shooting down the enemys scouts, fording streams under arms and accoutrements and rescue races under fire by hospital corps were other tests. Tbe usual events of track meets were run off, such as running, hurdling, Jumping, pole vaulting and shot There were- wrestling and putting. boxing matches, and, to the chagrin of the Americans, a Filipino won the welterweight championship. The whole thing was marked by the greatest rivalry. No score was announced until the whole meet had been finished, but the individuals and the various companies kept close track of theli points. Toward the end the camp was tremendously excited. Perhaps tbe most striking exhibitions of all were those in the water.
