VETERANS ANNUAL MEET.
Old Fire Fighters Will Have Fun at
New Bedford.
Will Squirt for Prizcs in the Whale
City August 10.

The fact that the time and place OF
holding the annual tournament were to
be settled at YESTERDAYS meeting served
to draw out u large audience of delegates
ct the quarterly meeting of the New Eng
land States Veteran Firemens' League at
Veteran Firemen's Hall, Boston, yester-
day afternoon.
II there Is anything that excites the
veteran 6remen II A the prospect OF a
contest with the old hand tubs. and long
before the time set for the meeting sew
eral knots OF colegates were distributed
around the hall actively discussing the
situation.
There had two been bids for the tourna-
ment, one from Springfield and the other
from New Bedford, but Spring field saw
early In the game that New Bedford had
the call, and so she was perfectly wiling,
for this year, to be placed upon the wait
ing list. Hence, when President william
4. Cheswell called mem bers to order,
the main business of the meeting was to
all intents and purposes settled.
The committee on classification of en-
gines found they had SO difficult task
upon their hands that they asked for
further time. Their request vas granted.
Several minor matters were then quickly
settled, and then came the all-abso: bing
topic of the annua! tournament.
II took very few minutes to settle the
main point at issue. The invitation
from Springfield was received and placed
on .le, and that OF tho New bedford AS
sociation to hold the I ornament in that
city on August 10 was unanimously ac-
cepted, and the delegates settled down to
making the necessary arrangements.
Delegate Kirschbaum o. New Eedford
outlined the preparations made by his as
societIon, which showed that everything
will be carried on in manner cooking to
the comfort OF the crnwds of veterans
who will visit the Whaling City. The only
radical changes from the usual arrange
ments was the substitution Of the double
playing platform, anc the providing
gincs by a ruling that the time allotted
for one engine must expire before the
next In order shall draw on to the stand.
President Cheswell appointed the fol-
lowing committees:
Tournament. w. II. Hathaway OF Hyde
Falls, X. l.; Felix McKenney of Fall
River, Samuel l.. Carpenter OF Providence
and Edward Mott Of Taunton; Transports
tion, Gen. Alexander HARRISON of Hart
ford, Conn. (chairman): Bernard Mcneil
lie OF Charlestown and Edward Mott OF
Taunton.
Notice OF an amendment to the consri-
tuition abolishing the clause prohibiting
the admission of more than one company
from one place was given and Will be act
ed upon at the next meeting, as will also
q proposed amendment to one OF the
tournament rules.
The balance of the meeting was devot-
ed to istussing matters In connection
with the benefit branch and the observ-
ance OF Firemen's Memorial day--the Sec
ond Sunday In June.
This latter feature has become one OF
the fixed events under the leagues aus
