the B.A. and Black Watch which ended in a win for us, after a struggle of ab¬ 
normal duration, resulting in the total collapse of one Black Watchman who 
required all the doctor’s skill to resuscitate him. 
GLASGOW. 
The officers of the 7th Field Battery quartered at Mary hill Barracks gave a very 
successful Dance on Tuesday, 25th October, in the Gymnasium there. About 
100 guests were present, and the music was supplied by the Band of the 1st 
Boyal Scots Fusiliers. The room was beautifully decorated with trophies of arms 
and quantities of flags, the latter having been kindly lent by the officers of H.M.S. 
Superb (at Greenock), and others. The supper was laid out in the gallery, and 
in addition to the ample sitting-out accommodation in the ball-room itself, two 
marquees were erected outside. A bell-tent was pitched in one corner of the 
room, flanked on the other side by a 12-pr. gun, with another gun at the far end 
of the room. The names of the battles in which the battery has taken part were 
suspended round the room. 
A Grand Military Tournament got up by the 1st Boyal Scots Fusiliers and 
some Volunteers was held in Glasgow on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd in Idengler’s 
Circus, and also on the 27th, 28th and 29th October in the East End Exhibition, 
and was a tremendous success. The Exhibition which seats 6000 people was 
crammed on each occasion, and it is estimated that quite £1200 has been cleared. 
The B.A. gave every assistance with men and horses. Lieut. Crockett was on 
the Committee, and was superintendent of all the mounted events, which entailed 
a lot of hard work. The battle of Ulundi, shewing the square being attacked by 
Zulus, was one of the most realistic scenes ever depicted on any stage.
