YONkERS.

The trouble between the Volunteer Fire Depart
ment Of this city and the Board OF Fire Commits
sioners is likely lead to serious results. one Of
the prominent members of the Board Of Fire Rep
resentatives said yesterday that, although the gap
between the two bodies may be temporarily closed
up, so not to interfere with the success OF the
State convention, he was certain that an eXplana-
lion will be demanded after the big affair from the
Commissioners 10 why they refused to permit
the paid companies, with their machines. to join
in the State parade. He further stated that he
would not be surprised to the volunteer depart
ment demand the removal from office of the Com
missiOners who voted 20 keep the machines in their
houses. President Rowland and Commissioners
Warneck and Stewart say that the reason for their
action is simply that in case OF "A fire great con-
fusion and damaging delays would result before
the paid men could get through procession Of
perhaps ten thousand men. They refute the i'm
putaton that they had any intention Of sighting

pIsAGREEABLE WEATHER INTERPRETERS WITH
THE CROWDS AT THE BEACHES.
The weather Of yesterday saved many thousands
Of dollars for New Workers, and the hotel men and
others who eater to the wants Of the public at the
beaches were the losers by about that amount.
This was because OF the rain which began so early

So the women remained at home. and saved their
money for to-days bargain counters In the stores.
and the men divided their time between trying to
make the children keep still' and taking occa-
s,onal trips out to "see how the weather was or
to ..have a spin around the block" between show
ers.
dense mass OF leaden hued clouds which had
been gathering during the night obscured the sky
from zenith to horizon all day. and sent down an
almost continuous driZzle varied occasionally by
heavy showers Two or three times in the AFTER
noon the sun made valiant efforts to force a rltt

There was compensation for the discomfort, now

which coming Immediately after Saturdays swell
