OFFER VOLUNTARY COURSE IN RIDING AND CARE OF HORSES

Through the Military Department an unusual opportunity is offered to University men to learn to ride and train horses this summer. Twenty head of horses are now at the Commonwealth Armory. These vary in the amount of training they have had from absolutely unbroken remounts to highly trained chargers who were originally selected to be sent to the Mounted Service School at Fort Riley, Kansas, where the best army horses in the world are trained. The instruction which will be given by Major Miller and Captain Dick will be entirely free. There will be no liability for future enrolment in the R. O. T. C. nor will the instruction be offered as part of a college course. Attendance at the Summer School is required. The entire work will be of an informal character and the only requirements will be that men keep their appointments for riding and ride as they are instructed to.

From now until the opening of the Summer School either Major Miller or Captain Dick will be at the Armory every day.

The military department received yesterday a British "75." This gun was being manufactured for the British in this country and was adapted to the use of the French. "75" ammunition. It differs from the French "75" mainly in that the recoil chamber is above instead of below the barrel. It also lacks the compensatory mechanism of the French weapon.
