MUSIC DRILL PLANNED

New Army Feature To Be Chown at Military Tournament. The program for the ’ National Military Tournament to be held in Grant Park, Chicago, July 23 to 30, has been so arranged that in no way will the tournament interfere with the regular summer encampment plans of the different regiments. The original plan was to have the troops encamped in Grant Park for a week and make this tour of duty a substitute for the summer encampment. The arrangements accordingly have been worked out so that the Chicago organizations will participate only In the night displays of <he tournament. The afternoon programs, which will be no less interesting than those at right, will be carried out by the regulars, the marines, and the various crack military organizations which will be brought to Chicago from other states and Canada. One of the features of the tournament, which will be on the afternoon program, will be the performance of the Fifth infantry of Cleveland. Manager John R. Young of the tournament had just received a letter from Colonel Charles X. Zimerman ”of the

Cleveland regiment informing him that he would accept the invitation of the Association of Commerce and bring 800 men to Chicago for the pageant. . The Fifth infantry is known all over the country as one of the crack regiments of the national guard. It will bring to Chicago the full regimental band of ninety pieces and from a musical standpoint alone will endeaver to outdo every other regiment taking part in the tournament The Cleveland organization will put on the Butts manual, a fancy drill Which is executed by the entire regiment without the aid of a single command, every movement o being made to the accompaniment of music.
