THOUSANDS WITNESS MILITARY PAGEANT While more than 300 persons arose and cheered, soldiers from the Twentieth, Forty-second and Forty-third infantries and a battery from the Utah artillery attacked a mimie fort last night as a climax to the military pae-eant held at Majestic park, and gave the spectators a vivid example .of what a real battle woulcj be like under cover of darkness. I More than 1000 men participated in the storming of the fort and fired many thousand rounds of blank ammunition. The battle was the closing feature of a military programme which outclassed 1 probably any previously held in the city. 1 Music, drills, calisthenics, wall scaling arid many other features made up the night's entertainment. The proceeds will be turned over to the various regimental emergency funds.
