year of existence. 1t was organised in Ro-
berts Hall, but has since met in the Pioneer

Company's laws and regulations are excellent,
and the large membership proves its populari-

stringent, ang whose laws are rigidly enforced
will always thrive. In regard to funds, the
company is well off, and none could be more
prosperous.

lated by the bylaws:

New York fire hat, with a representation of the
Falls of Mime ha painted on the front; patent
leather belt, with the figure on the clasp, and
