A Display by the aldershot Gymnastic Staff. 1896
This is one of the interesting displays of agility,
endurance and muscular power that the visitor to the Gymnasium at
Aldershot when the classes are under training, is bound to wonder at and
admire. The tableau here shown is of the same nature as those that
the aldershot Gymnastic Staff present every year before the eyes of the
thousands of pleased visitors to the Military Tournament at the
Agricultural Hall.

This is another of this very clever and attractive

training school at headquarters, the Aldershot Gymnasium, are such
adepts. How varied is the reprtoire of Colonel Fox's strong men, the
pages of this journal, both in previous numbers and in present number,
show; and the tableaux which forms the subject of this illustration is no
exception, and exhibits no falling off in the qualities which go to
perfect the all round athlete.

The "Weathercock" - A Tableau at Aldershot.
1896.
What strong muscles and well ordered gymnastic training
can accomplish we have an example of here before our eyes. The
Weathercock is undoubtedly a masterpiece of gymnastic skill, calling for,
in its performance, perfect nerve, perfect balance, perfect power of
endurance, and perfect bodily strength. The principal performer here
is Sergeant-Major Palmer of the Aldershot Gymnasium, who, in the opinion
of those best qualified to judge, is one of the best all round athletes in
the British Army.
