TALES OF THE PAST.
A General Reunion Of Firemen
Took Place at the
Fair.
Fantasia of the Battle of Gettysburg
Will Be the Attraction
Tonight.

The Veterans and the Exempt Firemen
fraternized last night on the floor of the
Mechanics Pavilion and made the rafters
ring with their shouts. The first to enter
the building were the Veterans, headed
by their band and under the command OF
President Joseph Marshall and Vice.
President Bunner. Early in the day the
Veterans sent up their old engine, bur-
nished and polished to the highest style
OF the tremen's art, and it was placed in a
conspicuous position near the Dandstand.
TINS served as rallying point for all
the firemen in the Pavilion, and a practi-
cal exhibition OF its workings was given
by the firemen. At its conclusion Gustav
Pohlmann stood on the machine and sang
a song entitled the "Veteran Firemen,"
all the m EN- bers Of the company joining
in the chorus.
Just as he concluded the Exempt Fire
men, with President George T. Bohen and
Vice-President A. J. Jessup at their head
marched in and around the Pavilion.
They later gathered around the engine
and cheered each other. The old boys
were in for a night of fun, and they man
aged to extract it in very plentiful de-
gree on the slightest occasion. They were
accompanied by many ladies and made
quite a striking appearance in their red
shirts and gray coats and fire hats.
The principal event of the evening TO-.
night will be the grand fantasie, THE
Battle of Getty sburg."
