~ The fire department was en- fete yes
,terday. 1t was the occasion OF the an
! nual Inspection, and every member was
at his best, for the fireman is as proud
of his appearance and display of, his
efficiency as is a West Pelnt graduate
on dress parade. -
!, The inspection, as usual, was con-
Quoted by the mayor. the board of fire
commissioners and members of the COM
mon council, the chief OF police and
others directly interested in such mat
iers. 1t required all day to complete
the pleasant task, beginning at 9o'elock
III the morning and finishing in the
evening, and, considering the territory
covered, this was matter of surprise
to the officials themselves. The houses
of the department cover the entire city,
from Arlington Hills to Hamline, Mer-
Tiam Park and the West side.
There were exhibitions of the amaz-
ing proWess Of the sturdy fireinen at
each. engine house. and the excellence
and efficiency displayed provoked ex-
CARNATIONS of surprise and admiration
Oh every hand. Let it be recorded in
this connection that one of the guests of
The city officials was Capt. Hendrick,
the inspector for the national board Of
underwriters, and who has been the
chief of one Of The most efficient depart
ments in the East. 1t is one of his du-
ties to travel through all cities and in
Spect the fire departments for the in
formation OF the board of underwriters.
Capt. Hendrick was unstiuted in his
praise OF the exhibition.
Noon found the party at No. 6 engine
house, on the West side. Here a mod
est lunch was served and sonic speeches
were made. The mayor felt inspired to
say nlaiTy pretty and complimentary
things Of Chief jackson and his brave
firemen, and he was followed in like
strain ny Hon. r. Warner, presideat OF
the board of fire commissioners :; Capt.
Helldrick, Adjt. Gen. Munen, Chief
Garyin and John s. Prince. Chief jack
son acknowledged the tribute paid to

tion was the working of the poanpier
corps. consisting of four men, at the
headquarters. The officials pronounced

| had ever witnessed. At No. IL engine
| house WatrouS engine was steamed up
! and worked. The citizens have a GER
