They presented the follow^ing program:

The final show was given by the Illinois Regiment. It began with a play entitled, "Inertia," written by J. Lee Nichols of the British Army, with Can- didate Dick Travers as the star. This w^as follow^ed by a comedy sketch en- titled "Barracks Bust," and another, "Third Regiment Hash," in which "Ser- geant Hill," of Small Problems of Infantry fame made his first entrance on the dramatic stage.

One of the best features of the entertainment was the Third Regiment Glee Club and Orchestra, which had been suddenly w^hipped into shape by Candidate Hodge of the Eighteenth Company, formerly bandmaster for Ring- ling Brothers Circus.
