The Military Tournament at the Agricultural Hall: Period 1743, (1895). Photographs by Mr. Glover, St. Stephen's Green, Dublin. 'The 3rd (King's Own) Hussars are giving at the Military Tournament a display of the uniforms, trappings, and saddlery worn by the regiment between 1685 and the present day. This historical parade was started at the tournament in Dublin last year, and the display was enthusiastically admired. Each section marched into the arena to music of the period represented, and to the trumpet calls of the different times; and after the entry of the section illustrative of the present period, the entire parade went through a pretty figure ride. The East Kent Regiment, which claims to be a direct descendant of the London Trained Bands, is also giving an historical display on similar lines'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
