The Company always sits down 10 a
good repast, but it was the unanimous
opinion that the caterer made special
effort on this occasion aud outdid himself
for style, variety and excellence.
President Marjarum sat at the head of
the table, with President. elect Kerr on his
right, and at the conclusion of the feast
called for order, and spec chcs were made
by almost every one at tie board upon
different subjects, all in some manner con-
nected with the fighting of fire and the
scenes and incidents relating thereto. The
amusement of the membership was sub
ject which received special attention and
resulted in the adoption of resolution
for the purchase of billiard table for the
house. The subject was strongly debated
one year ago, but as new truck was de-
sirable and much. needed, it was voted
down; but the new truck having been re.
ccived and paid for, there was nothing in
the way and an almost unanimous vote
was the result. Ex-Chief John ii. Stock
ton was elected new member and his
first visit was rewarded by the appoint
ment of chairman of the committee on
purchase of new billiard table, together
with Messrs. Wagg, Cochran, Thorne and
Schenck.
The Company now numbers forty-six
members, the limit being fifty.
Tue event will long be remembered as
one of the most pleasant in the thirty
years history of the Company. 1t was
regretted that William II. Titus, of Iowa,
former member, who was visiting here,
did not attend the meeting. A. G. Davis,
of South Amboy, was also in the city, and
while not member, formerly did much
for the Company in its early history that
would have made him a welcome guest
had his visit been known, although at
these yearly gatherings no invitations are
