PICTURE.
Charles vi. Welde, ex-chief OF the
Wilmington Fire Department, was pre-
scented yesterday with a fine crayon
portrait Of himself by the members OF
the Liberty Fire Company.
The presentation, which took place
at the Friendship Fire Company's
house, was complete sur
prise to the ex-chief, and he
was very much touched by the good
feeling shown for him by the members
OF the Liberty Fire Company.
The portrait represents the chief in
fun uniform. and is fine lilsness OF
Mr. Welde. Including the heavy gilt
frame, which was made in Chicago. the
picture is about SxS1s feet. It is the
work OF a local artist and shows great
skill upon his part.
A committee from the Liberty. who
had charge Of the work, composed OF
ex-First and ex-second Assistant ]. p.
Welsh, chairman; Councilman M. II.
Cannon, Hugh Wallace and Frank
Platt, accompanied by Members James
Dougherty, Hugh Wallace, President
Joshua Pyle, Thomas Marlin, John
Burton and Martin Welsh. arrived
with the picture at the Friendship
house yesterday afternoon about .
o'clock. Chairman ]. p. Welsh made
the presentation speech in few we'll
chosen words, and was replied to by
Joseph Smith. ex-president OF the
Friendship, on behalf OF Mt. Welde.
The event was a pleasurable one TO
all, as it showed the good fellowship
existing between the Friendship, the
oldest fire company, and the Liberty
as the youngest. The picture will be
placed on exhibition in Market street
window.
