TIVE QUICK HORSE.



In st, Nicholas there is an article ON
Tho Quick Horse, by L. s. Dellen-
baugh, devoted To the horses of the mod
ern fire department, Mr.. Dellenbaugh
says; 1t is only within recent years that
quick horses have been developed and
appreciated and admired, and the poet
has not yet attempted to sing the praises
of this more presaie but noble animal.
Yet, after all, To ono who carefully ex-
amines the matter the quick horse APP
pears to have quito ns good, II not n bet
ter, claim upon our admiration and
sympathy and encouragement. The
swift horse wins the race, and in these
days he may cause considerable money
to change hands, in which there is GER
tainly nothing that is commendable
But the quick horse l write about saves
life, saves property and under modern
conditions of life is essential to our
safety and general we'll being. He Is
the result indirectly of poor building

fire departments, which could not now
exist without him.
