Gather In Raleigh This Week
For the Tournament.
EXCITING ! RACES AND BIG PRIZES.
Thousands Are Coming to Raleigh On
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
to See the Spectacular Parade and
the Strenuous Racing Contests to
Be Participated In By Firemen From
Over Thirty two Cities and Towns.

All things are ready for a week of
rare interest and pleasure in Raleigh.
For three days the city will belong
to the firemen of the State and in
great number they will be gathered in
Raleigh.
July %, % and "a are the days, and each
of these will be filled to overfiowing
with events full of interest, and of such
attractiveness as to draw thousands of
visitors to the city.
1t is not alone meeting of an or
ganiZation of firemen that will be held
but trained men, fleet of foot, with I'M
faltering nerve, with flashing eyes seek
ing place for skilled hands, will give
exhibitions of the best work of which
men who fight fire are capable.
The association, organized with fifty
members in 1883, has steadily grown, and
now it numbers in it's ranks almost
every fire department in the State. 1t
has grown because it has been a thing
needed. 1t has grown because it de-
served to grow and because people recog-
nized that its mission was one of hu-
n.anity and that in it's noblest form.
The events of this week are of State
wide Importance and from every sec
tion of our borders there will come pee-
pie. Some of these will be the llremen
themselves, but they will meet here a
host of people who are in sympathy
with them. and who will come because
of the great attractiveness of the pro-
sramme. ard of tho stirring events which
will go to fill up the days of the meeting
and of the splendid tournament which
is to follow.
The officers of the State organization
are typical of the men who form the
great body of the association. They are
not hired officials, they are not in their
position for the money they are to get
out of them, but they ara there to be
of service to the State, and they are
to be complimented on the sterling SER
vice which they are rendering.
The men who make up the official
head of the North Carolina State Fire
NmeIss Association are James ID. Nc |

towns will take part. There will
be music, and plenty of it, and the
parade will be made a spectacular

unique forms.
