A GOOD DISPLAY.
The Fire Department on Exhibition
Yesterday.


Yesterday.
A large crowd assembled at the plaza
yesterday afternoon to witness the first
inspection OF the fire department.
At o'clock, the hour set for the ex-
hibition, two taps on the big bell in the
tower of the city hall called the various
companies to the appointed place.
Mayor Hazard was present, as were
also the other members of the fire COM
mission. Several of the councilmen were
present, and the police commission was
there in full force.
The department has never appeared
to greater advantage than it did yester-
day. The full force of employees was
out, attired in natty blue uniforms, and
their appearance reflects great credit to
themselves, their chief and the commits
sion.
Every piece of apparatus was as bright
as a newly-coined dollar. The horses
were sleek and clean and full
of life, and evidently impatient
at being kept standing. Very
little decoration had been attempted.
Though some of the machines were
decked with flowers, most of the appar-
atus was permitted to stand for itself in
all the glory of polished brass and steel.
No fires were lighted and no manoeu-
vres were attempted, but at 4 o'clock
Chief Moore gave the signal, and a
Los Angeles herald., 1891-09-10

platoon of stalwart policemen, under
Chief Glass, swung into line and
marched round the plaza. Chief Moore
and Assistant Chief Moriarity came
next in the chiefs wagon, and the com
panies fell into line and marched to
Spring street, thence to Fifth, to Main,
and back to the starting point, where
the department was dismissed and the
engines returned to the houses.
The various houses were then thrown
open to inspection by the public, and
from until 80, the bell tapped, the
horses were hitched up, and the men
came sliding down the pole from their
sleeping-rooms, just as though the
alarm was genuine call for their
service.
The purpose OF this was to give every
one chance to see the men at home,
and to remove the impression entertain
ed by many that a fireman sleeps en- the
machine, with his boots on, or hangs
himself up on ANAL.
Chief Moore demonstrated yesterday
that he has brought the department up
to a high state OF perfection.

escape it. This thing has been going
