On Friday a big sham battle will be fought. Problems in mimic warfare yester day at the Joint camp of instruction had to do with the protection of a wagon train attacked by a hostile force. Cavalry was pitted against ca.valry In Second Squadron meneuvers.' The Governor's Troop, under Captain Jack, acted as a convoy for a wagon train moving from Lewisburg,.carrying sup plies for a hostile brigade encamped at Harrisburg, fifty miles below here.

The Sheridan Troop patrols found the wagon train moving along an un frequented road. Later the two main cavalry forces met, and for more than four hours • a pitched battle was fought. The convoy was delayed long enough, the officers asserted, so that a flank movement could have been successfully executed by a brigade of Infantry, of which the Sheridan Troop was the advance guard and the train would eventually have been captured. The Thirteenth Infantry problem was worked out by Major H. F. Con rad, commanding the convoy battal ion, and Majors W. A. Rab and R. J. Burke, who led the attacking battal ions. Major Conrad, by forced march es, safely landed his wagon train across Herman's bridge, "burned" the bridge behind him and bade defiance to his foes. In the Ninth Infantry, Major O. F. Harvey commanded a single battalion acting as a convoy for a wagon train carrying supplies to an imaginary hos tile force encamped at Lewisburg. Majors George W. Coxe and William I. Ravert led the attacking battalion. The convoy under Major Harvey de tatched several companies# and these, strongly entrenched, held back the opposing forces until the wagon train, with the main body, was four miles in advance. The battalions under Major William H. Straub worked out a problem similar to that of the Ninth Infantry. FOR PRESIDENT'S BROTHER Mlffllnburg, Pa., July 22.—Frank lin M.
