The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-08-01

Mr.. tar1an Takes His Place.
With the remarkably low rates already
announced by the trarscontinental rail-
way lines and the rate war still on, the
prospects are that the national gathering
of fire chiefs here on the 10th will indeed
be a national affair. The number of VS.
itors will be much larger than was at
first anticipated, and the committees on
arrangements are accordingly increasing
the facilities for hospitable and proper
entertainment Of the guests.
The general committee was in session
last night Reports were listened to from
sub-committees and everything has been
perfected to make the guests welcome.
NEW FEATURES.
The programme will be as previously
outlined through these columns, with the
addition of horse races at Calder park
on Thursday afternoon, the last day of
conclaVe. In this connection a race is
being arranged between a chariot and q
bicycle tandem team. This feature Will
prove something new and entirely novel.
So far as can be- learned, a similar race
race track. The events will be under the
auspices of the Gentlemen's Driving club,
and the visiting firemen will be the clubs
guests.
AT GARFIELD.
The celebration at Garfield Beach will
be made another feature of the conven-
ton. General Ottinger has been selected
as grand marshal of the day. and will
have charge Of the ceremonies at that
popular resort.
THE EXHIBITS.
The committee having in charge the
financial end of the programme has met
with good success and the sinews of war
will 10 LACKING Tho axhihitc a o.
viouSly has been pointed out will be on
grander scale than had been planned
for. II was thought that Salt Lake be-
ing considerable distance from the man
ufacturlng centers would have the effect
of limiting the exhibits TO light apparatus
and devices for use in the service, owing
TO the expense of transportation This
seems to be an error. Leading houses all
over the country have sent word they
viii be here, and it is reasonable to as
sumo that in the Continental market
building will be seen everything in the
line OF fire apparatus, from a ponderouS
hook and ladder truck to a fireman's
whistle. General Oringer and ex-Com-
missioner Empey will have charge of the
matter of alloting spaces to exhibitors.
Chief Devine, who deserves great deal
OF credit for his activity in behalf of the
meeting, is daily receiving letters from
firms ali over the country relative to
space for making displays. So far the
following companies viii be on the ground
with exhibits:

DEvINE SATISFIED NOW.
Chief Devine felt somewhat discouraged
month or SO ago. 1t was announced
that reunion of firemen would take
place at London. These reunions are al
ways elaborate affairs, and low rates
having been secured, it was feared that
many of the eastern chiefs would cross
the pond instead of the Rockies Now.
however, letters are pouring in from fire
the land, all Signifying their intention to
attend.

In addition to these there viii be sew
eral fire and police boards represented. /
The above viii form but a faint idea of /
the crowd. Salt Lake is always an at j
tractive point for the eastern tourist and /
with the rates down to insignificant fig- I
ures hundreds of people who had never /
thought of a visit to Zion will pack their /
grips and come.
vARIAN SUCCEEDS COIN.
As Commissioner Cohn is called to New
York on business he handec in his resig- |
nation as chairman Of the general COM |
rrittee on arrangements. Chairman Va /
rian of the fire and police board was at !
once elected to I'LL tn vacancy.
