SHAM BATTLE AT FAIR
What promises to be the most re­
alistic sham battle in the annal of
mimic warfare will take place of the
Lewis and Clark Exposition Jule 21
constituting the crowning feature of
three days of military manuvers in
wich at least 1,500 troops will take
part. The battle will be made real­
istic be the shooting of cannon and
small arms loaded with blank cart­
ridges, and is expected to prove one
of the most popular of the many fea­
tures which have been arranged to
make every day until the close of
Exposition, Oct. 15, a special day.
Adjutant-Gen. Finzer, in conference
with President Goode of the Expo­
sition has arranged the more import­
ant details.
During the first two
days of the encampment at the E x ­
position there will be a dress parade
and a grand review in honor of Gov­
ernor Chamberlain and staff.
A
number of competitive drills will be
held. The battle proper will be be­
tween two detachments, one wear­
ing the hrowr. khaki uniform and
the other the blue. The browns will
entrench themselves on the hillside
dirctlv west of the Exposition and
await the approach of the attacking
party of blues.
The field artillery
will supplement the entrenched force
while the cavalry will assist the at­
tacking party, operating from the
rear or flank.
