On Wednesday, August 26, the
Board Of Fire Wardens will take their
annual outing. This will be the tenth
regular blowout for the Wardens.
Every year, at just about this time,
the Wardens allow themselves
slight relaxation from their more or
less arduous duties in the fire de-
partment and take day off, free
from all the care and responsibility
of protecting the town Of MorriStown
from destruction by fire 1t might
seem to some that it was unwise on
the part of the town officials to allow
so many good men and true to leave
the department at one time, but
when one sees the bright eyes and
CHEEKY faces that the men bring back
with them it is clearly to be seen that
the outing is a benefit to the War
dens themselves and also to the
town generally.
This year, as last, the brave men
and their still braver friends will in
wade Willetts Point and once there
will proceed to get on the outside of
as many clans of as many different
varieties and cooked in as many
different ways as the waters Of the sea
and the cooks at Willett's Point can
provide. In addition to CLAIMS there
will be fish, principally sheepshead,
in endless profusion. Lobsters also,
as well as chickens and corn. Po-
tatoes too will be on tap with which
the hungry ones may fill themselves.
All these viands will be tinctured
with the concentrated essence of
CLANS, and the only really natural
food product to be served will be
watermelon and there is some talk
of adulterating them.
Through the kindness of some one
pull has been exerted and large
ocean-going tug has been procured
for the OCCASION While they do not
anticipate going on the ocean at all
and will confine their aquatic travel
to the Sound it was thought best to
to procure an ocean-going tug. The
aforesaid tug will meet them at Ho
boken and will be in waiting for
them as they descend from their
private car which will convey them
from Morristown A string band,
of more or less ability, will accom-
pany them on the trip and will do
their best to prevent discord among
the eXcursionsts, by monopolizing
that feature to themselves.
A target shoot will also be indulged
in and it is confidently expected that
some one Of the Wardens or their
guests win succeed in making score
lof some kind and thus win the hand
some prize which has been especially
designed and made by Tiffany &
/ Co., of New York, for the occasion.
All those who go are earnestly re-
Quested to return This request is
made by those in authority, who do
not wish to have our fair town re-
main unprotected from the rayages
OF the fire bend,
