FIRE DEPART NENT IS
ENTIRELY TOO SMALL
Could Not Cope With Many
Great Fires at Once.
COMPANY AREAS TOO LARGE
More Ground to Be Covered on Average
By Each Than in Any Other
Large City.

Had Father Time and the Goddess OF
Fate not interviewed. there would. per
haps. have been a disastrous demonstra-
tion yesterday OF the lack Of sufficient
fire apparatus in this CITY.
Within Jew hours Of each other. two
serious fires broke out in different parts
CT the District. The first necessitated
FIVE alarms. aud it was deemed advisa-
bic 70 send in two for the other. A
general alarm consists OF six calls. sum
moninS every company except the
chemical engines. in the department.
These figures. as they appear above.
represent nothing. Any city is likely
TO have two large fires at the same zinc
But the difference lies in the fact jAat
every alarm after the first. in o;h,.
municipalities. calls out many more
companies that il does in Washington.
And so. two such fires as those which
occurred yesterday would not have ne
/ cessitated as many alarms, leaving
enough apparatus in reserve for any
emergency.
Luck the Saving Factor.
Thus the city might have had a grim
/ illustration Of the need OF more pro-
lection. had it not been for plair good
nature is likely to arise at any moment.
and II is not pleasant 20 think OF what
the result might be.
The local department consists OF TWEEN
ty-four companies. including engines.
trucks. reels. and water tower. These
companies are scattered throughout the
entire District. covering an area OF sew
enty square miles. At this rate. each
company has allotted TO it three square
miles 20 guard.
With this as a basis. the department is
shown to be extremely small in compar-
ison to those OF other large cities. For
example a local company is forced 70
cover double the area OF one in New
York OF Philadelphia, three times the
area Of those in Baltimore. Buffalo. Gin
cinnati. and New Orleans. four times OF
those in Milwaukee and Louisville. six
/ times of those in San Francisco. and sew
en- times that OF a company in Boston.
Two Engines Crippled.
| The lack OF enough protection is ap-
parent, under normal condition. but even
more so at present because of the de-
/ partment's crippled state. Several
smash-ups have occurred recently. with
/ the result that two engines have been
| taken out Of commission, These have
been temporarily replaced by the two re-
! serve engines. and IN the event OF an
other similar accident. the services OF
an entire company would come TO a halt
So far as efficiency and quickness arc
! concerned. the District department is
/ an efficient rival OF any in the country
! The men have proved themselves brave
/ and have shown much Intelligence in the
/ handling OF fires. The wide avenues per-
nit fast driving without danger TO either
the public or apparatus. Indeed. the
only handicap is inadequacy Of equip
| ment.
In probably no other large city in the
4 United States, are the iremen so poorly
paid as in Washington. The salaries ar,
even not up to the average compensation

Yesterdays weather was altogether in
favor Of the new Shamrock. The morning
was foggy. and there was no breeze at all
until about 10 o'clock. Al $50 the yachts
had mainsails and club topsails aloft and
headsails up in stops. waiting for the eX-
pected breeze About 1880 a gentle breeze
from the northwest dissipated the fog. and
the old boat cast of her moorings and started
out under sail. Shamrock LII. was taken
in tow by the Cruiser at i0:45 and she went
outside. followed by the Erin. The course
was laid ten miles to leeward from the Scot
land lghtship and the boats were instructed
TO go twice over. so as to make forty-mle
race. The folio wing are the times Of the
start: Shamrock l., iI:42:35; Shamrock III,

Booms were carried on the starboard hand
and spnnakers set on the port The latter
were broken out as the boats cross ed the

and the boats were for the time in calm.
Then soft breeze came in from the south.

Shamrock III got the breeze first and over

which remained motionless for some time

was fully three miles astern when the latter

1t was a reach back to the start, the wind
having hauled to the southwest The new
boat had things all her own way, though
she did. at one time. run into a calm spot
and lie there for several minutes while
the old boat gained somewhat. When she
next caught the breeze it came in ahead
and she had to beat for the finish The old
boat continued for while to come on the
reach. The Shamrock Ill. however, prac-
