TIEEII® CIRCUS IN SIGNAL COMPANY CORRAL 0y Corporal Rupprecht. The jneu of the 47th Servir e (Company don’t < are if they do miss the shows in (Augusta, as long as we have the three; .ring circus over at the coiral every morn ling The performance begins promptly at S a. m every day except Sundays. The company boasts of having some of the best bare-back riders and broncho busters. notably among them being E. L Mundy, who hails from the wikis of New Jersey, and who claims to be able to stick to anything with hair on. His exhibi tions are always entertaining as well as amusing. Persky, Otten and Burkett have been I heard to remark that in another week or I two they willd’eel themselves qualified to apply for transfer to the Aviation Sec tion. Green, an old-timer, appeared upon the field Tuesday morning and announced he would give an exhibition of fancy riding on Tanglefoot (No. 12). but_ seeing that he and the horse couldn’t agree, difl some fancy acrobatic stunts instead, and wound up the exhibition by plowing up about two acers of the field. Green is now nursing several bruises, also a bunged up nose. Sergeant Miller, our rifling master, tells jus that in order to make good as a horse ; man, you must know more than the horse, ibut that the men will improve in time, the first seven years usually being the hardest. The past week has been especially busy for the 17th Service Co. On October 16th and 17th twenty men were detailed for special work at the Machine Gun Range where they established and kept open telegraph and .telephone conimunu itions, while Machine Gun companies were re ceiving practical instructions in laying barrage fire unflcr actual field conditions. Sergeant Davis was in charge and the detail was made up <>f the following men: Corporals Smith, Rathbun and Bishop; Privates First Class Javens, Bick. Cour- J-*:ey, Pcnrofl, Filkins, and Tate; Privates Kester, Holden, Godshall, Allen. Jewett, O'Donnell, Crane. Festina, Gross and Bel more. An order from headquarters calling for first class telegraph operators was re ceived and Privates <lriffin, Bear and • Kiir <’h were successful in passing the examination and meeting all require ments. ! Th** progress made by the company in • ■ the drills and signal work is noteworthy. I l-’or the past week they have been get rling instruction in night signaling. The i work is very interesting, and the men are! I making good; we have our first sergeant’s I ■word for it. j The Pigeon Section reports everything • running smoothly, and takes pleasure in j announcing the return of Private Grigg- | an absence of two weeks because of I' illness. The carrier pigeon car, a motorcycle with a Cygent rear cage, is creating con siderable perplexity among our neighbor ing civilians through their inability to de termine whether the vehicle is a police patrol, ambulance, or dog wagon This makes it necessary at each stop to make ' considerable explanation. Our Acting Mess Sergeant, Dick Weav er. is making himself solid with the men. Also he and his righthand man. Irish Ryan, are very popular with the Honor able K. P.’s, as they are always ready and willing to lend a helping hand. Sergeant Smith after ordering his se« - I tion to fall in, and giving the command right dress, then front, discovered the al- ; ligament to be anything but straight, and after several vain attempts to straighten out said line and comments as to the wavy appearance of same, com manded the section to fall out and take a look at that line. Sergeant Kay tells us he gets at least an hour's more sleep since Corporal Moore has been transferred to the thlYd section. We can well appreciate that fact as that boy sure has a musical snore, which is not his only bad fault. As a , general rule he has an accompaniment to go with it. Some Questions and Answers If You Question is too Difficult Send in Your Answer With It. (From the American Army Gazette.) DO YOU WANT TO FIGHT?
