The admirable programme of this year's Tournament at Olympia is

significant in its departures from precedent. Machine- guns, tanks, gas-masked infantry, and an aeroplane provide the chief "turns," whilst women figure for the first time. The cavalry are only represented by the charming mediaevalism of the French musical ride with its picturesque trumpeters and tossing pennons. From a military point of view, by far the most interesting items are the last two on the programme—a combined display by the Tank Corps and Royal Engineers, and "The Attack."
