fraternity keeping up and increasing
each year the true spirit of brotherly
love. At previous meetings like this l
have given in brief partial history from
time to time of our department. To-
night I wish to congratulate you as on@
that has touched elbows like 2 true
soldier with officers and men for your
interest taken not only in the call TO
duty, but for the advancement Of So
cial intercourse and the very best In
terest in work, ever looking toward the
progress of a better and more efficient
fire department.
Each year, as time comes on apace,
we can see that you, the men upon
whom the public look for safety when
their property is in danger. are ever
eager to respond to duty and know no
fear in thus performing your duty.
The selectmen of Webster know that
they have made no mistake in continu-
ing on the present department under
our brave chief, L. z. PattisOn, and his
officers. and it is with credit to the
board Of selectmen that they, in their
good judgment, did not allow politics
to enter our ranks We have worked
together for years, and the result has
been in progress in many ways.
For instance, look at our sister town
of Southbridge, who, under Wilson and
Phipps, has ranked second to none as
a fire department in our vicinity,
through ways that need not be spoken
of here tonight, in the appointment of
engineers has destroyed the harmony
of the department, and the trouble in
creased in the resignation of three OF
the old men on the board in point OF
service. leaving two men who have
never served before in that capacity.
Several men in the department have
expressed themselves to resign, and the
town fathers Of our spec town" will
have TO settle the trouble. am glad
to say that our selectmen know what
not to do. and they, in their best judg-
ment. like generals in the army, re-
tain their men whom they know from
previous work when duty calls. Let
us give three cheers for our efficient
board of selectmen-
BOYS, a short time ago there came
TO nv notice from members of the de-
partnent. in view of our standing
in the county as one of the leading pro-
gressive departments. that Webster
ought to have an Old-time muster. You
went to work with a will, assistance

was given you by the public, the recent
bazaar was held, and from that some
$1,000 has been placed as a nest egg Tor
the coming muster.
A word relative to your muster may
not prove uninteresting, as an outcome
of firemens muster long before many
of you were born Your humble ser
want from information asked Tor, IN
forms you that the first general mus
ter was held in the town of Ashland
March 10, 1919.
This was the day when the "bucket
brigade" was supplanted by hand en-
gines. Since then about 500 musters
have been held in the United States
and Canada. A large majority OF them
have been held in New England, where
they originated and have flourished as
nowhere else. with constantly increas-
ing interest and number of contestants:
The first hand engine was imported
from London in 1873 as bucket ma
chine. and not until 1922 was the sue
ton fire engine No. of Providence, r.
l., built.
The engines were small, crude affairs,
stationed as near as possible to the fire
and two lines of bucket passers form
ed to and from the nearest water sup
ply. The suction engine, like our old
General Taylor, No. 2" completely re-
volutionized the fire service. Down
through the years all towns have held
musters, but at Worcester, Sept. .,
1857, was held the largest hand engine
muster ever known, with so contestants
all classed alike. The playing was per-
pendicular, throdugh 400 feet of hose,
the Torrent Of Manchester taking the
first prize, throwing $50 feet,
The largest muster ever held, lnclud-
frA NgriTA
hose and ladder trucks, was at Fitch
burg, Oct, 10 and IL, 1871, with 81 COM
panies.
In regard to the work be-
fore you as united force
in our muster next fall, and as one of
the members of the board Of engineers,
it is not out of confidence that express
the voice of the board in view that you
the rank and file of the department.
that first conceived the plan of mus
ter, should have the credit, and in any
way that we, as members of the board,
when called upon, will do our duty
looking toward a gala day in the his
tory of our department, as your muster
in the near future.
AS a compliment to our chief who for
ten years has ever been a factor in the
best interests of the department, I call
for three cheers for his untiring efforts
for all under his command.
As a fitting close to my remarks, let
me allude to the generous gift of eX-
engineer, and one ever thoughtful
of the department, Lyman R. Eddy,
that in his generous spirit presented
the steamer company with a pole for
the hose wagon, giving them and the
public better service, which was long
desired. With his interest ever at heart
for US, and others with us gathered to-
night, let US respond with three cheers.
and be again united May 1, 1900.

| There seems to be a hitch between

Edgar S. Hill, and from information
| given The Spy man from a prominent
| director of the association, itsis barely
possible that after all the association
will go under. Mr.. Hill as proprietor

are played says that he will not al

| his grounds the afternoon of the Fourth
| but that is just the time that the as
| sOciatiOn will coin pile out of the
game. Mr.. Hill, however, from various
reasons, says he will not have a game
that afternoon. As an alternative he
has offered a very fair proposition, and
that is to play in the morning. The
members of the association are kicking
and some of them have refused to come
up with their $25 as a consequence
The local team could play here in the

among whom is Miss Mayme Taylor. who
is said to possess a sweet and cultivated

which he is said to have made Il great hit.
The engagement of the company is for the
