Apparently as tho resnlt of the ad niirable expt'ciments in cavalry tra.in- iiig made b.v l.ieiit .-<-'ol. de Lisle at llounslow, the new sjystoiii of instruc- tion is to be introduced into thi,i h'irstt Arni.v Cor[)s, writca an Alder- shot, coKrespoiulent of the Lisn'.lon 11 ally Mail. The iiinovtition will do aWay with much of tho useless routine work w'liich in tho past has occupied so much of tho cavalryman's time. Kroin the beginning of tho training Hut aim will be to develop th^e ca\- alrvman's power of initiative and resource and g.'iiera.l intelligenco in the field. f)iie of his lirst lesson.s will lie to catch his horse when turned i loose, to train it, and rido it acro.s.i Country instead of around Iho riding school. The care of horses is also to bo taught. Men are to bo instructed in llio treatment of minor hor.sc mala- dies, how to judge nnd treat lame- ness, nnd to tell good forage from had. Outpost and advance guard duties, loconiioissance duties and map read- ing are to be taught thoroughly. I'arlies ot men are to be S'jiit out to find their wa.v to lixed points en- tirely by the map. The art of scout- ing will bo instilled by the "fl.xg stealing" game and practical trials of .scouting, in which sp'ocial stress in to bo laid on intercepting moves of the enemy. learning his strength without being seen, dospntth riding mill making intelligible verbal and written reports. Morn attention is to he paid to firing. the proper appreciation of cover, rapid .shooting, natural rests, nnd the effects of wind. .Skill at arms is not to he forgot- ten, and moti;;i.ed combats anil com- petition.') are to I;o instituted.
