hearts Of our firemen greatly was
their ability to return to Ocala
with the "Ocala cup" instituted
as an Ocaia department prize cup
in 1889 and afterward set up as
the second prize at state associa-
tion competitions.
Chief Columbus Carmichael is
not only the idol of the Ocala
firemer, but is held in high es-
TEEN by his associate chiefs Of
the state and his suggestions
were accorded great weight in
their deliberations. Ed" has an
eve to business an1 his acts and
not his speeches count.
The lovely bouquet Of roses
presented to Chief Carmichael by
his mother on his return yeeter-
day just fitted the "Ocala cup"
and truly yictoriously crowned
it. What could be more appro-
pirate or touching than this ter

striking production. The scenery
OF the play is one of the features.
The first and last acts are the
scenic acts of the play. The first
act represents the city of Naples
and its surroundings. In the last
act the same picture is presented,
with the addition of Mount We
suvius in active eruption, accom-
panied by the roar of an earth
quake and the crumbling of build
in~s \ critic says Of Miss West s
acting: Miss Olive West as Nina,
the false wife, did some eXcep-
tionallv fine acting: one could
easily imagine nc saw q woman
who cared nothing for man, 5
love, but who delighted in the
possession OF gold and Jewels,
false as the most captivating
siren and ever ready to throw
womanly virtue to the winds for
a new lover, capable Of crafty
ing her desire for jewels. The
finest piece Of acting during the
production was in the mauSoleum
scene, in the last act, and gave
both Miss West and Mr.. Benedict
au opportunity to display their
/ fullest ability. Miss Vest emo
tion and Mr.. Benedict's portrayal
Of the man whose idol has proven
false, and whose desire was re-
venge, called forth numerous out
bursts of applause. The Spanish,
serpentine, fire and stereopticon
dances, introduced by Miss Grace
| Hunter, was one Of the strong
features.
