Club will pass at its next meeting resolu-
tons to petition the Board of Supervisors
to replace the chemical engine that has
been taken from engine house Is and re-
moved to the corner Of Polk and Eddy

In case of a general alarm of fire the

CINE does not respond to any alarm out
side OF its own district
During the fire at the Cliff House and
the ire on Seventh avenue the chemical
engine was first on the ground and did
excellent work. Without it, should a
general alarm be sounded, the engine Of
house No. 10 would respond, and in the
meantime. if another fire should break out
in Richmond, there would be no way
whatever of extinguishing it.

In close proximity to the grand stand
Secretary Fleming and President S. y

This Is how the Agricultural society

words that the society must certify
that no beer has been sold on the
