RECORD FOR FAST FIRE RUNS.
Chicago Astonished French Visitors,
 but Strategy Was Costly.

A score of firemen were relating anecdotes of the late Dents J. Swenie, for score of years Chicago's fire mar shal. "One day." said a grizzly vet eran who for years worked under the old fireman in the downtown district, "a party of French gentlemen called on the mayor. They said they were di- rectors of the Paris fire department. The mayor called Chief Swenle and turned the party over to him. Sure! he would show them everything. He sent out notice to the fire department that he would pull box "A, Hubbard court and Michigan avenue, at 4 o'clock. He wanted three engines and truck to make a record run to the ! box.
 Among the companies to run in on the box was engine 10 and truck com pany 1, both located next to the Harri- son street police station. There was q great deal of pleasant rivalry between these companies and another due on the test run. Accordingly the captains decided that 10 and 1 were going to beat out all others.
 They arranged to get the apparatus out in Harrison street. The operator at the Harrison street police station agreed to give them q signal when the box call came.
 The scheme would have worked to charm had the visitors been on time. They were, however, about two min utes late. Now it just happened that fire was discovered on the North Side at o'clock to the second.
 "The operators in the fire alarm office struck off box S-4-G. Before he counted off the alarm the operator waved to the waiting companies and away they went When he discovered the mistake it was too late. He had sent the companies away to box 76 and the box had not been pulled. The iiremen rounded the corner just as Chief Swenie was walking up to the box.
 lie was lue iuOSt suTprlSeu Ludu III the crowd The companies were on the scene before he had touched the box.
 "'Seems to me you had a wrong hunch,' was all he said. He then pulled the box and brought out the other two companies. At the next ses- sion of the trial board two captains forfeited five days pay for 'anticipat- ing an alarm of fire.'
 Ever since that time, test runs or no test runs, no horse has poked his nose out of stall until at least one round of the box has becp received."- Chicago Record Herald
