HIGHEST TYPE OF PRACTICAL
FIRE FIGHTING IS SHOWN.
This Ts the Praise Battalion Chief
Ryan of Boston Has for the
Hale Exhibition.

Among the thousands who witnessed the
| exhibition last night by the Hale Fire
Fighters at the west end of the Pike, was
| Battalion Chief Ryan of the Fire Depart
ment of Boston.
| Chief Ryan exclaimed: THE work !
! have just witnessed excels in every re-
| spect everything 1 have seen In my thirty
| years of practical experience. Why, the
| work of the Hale Fire Fighters is even
| more practical than the work actually
| done In the daily fighting Of real fires.
The workmanship. the speed and the
| eXceliency show that the performers have
reached the tOp-notch OF fire fighting. 50
superior were the executions 1 have just
seen. that they almost deceived the eyes
of veteran Fireman like myself.
rake for instance the scaling ladder
scene. The men run up their ladder
which is nothing more tnan pole with
hand and foot rests. requiring at ali times
the greatest courage, with the daring
that the hero alone feels, and at the same
time with the ease and seeming indifference
shown by a man free from danger. These
noble men daily give these exhibitions. not
only TO please the admirers of the Hale
Fire Fighters. but to demonstrate to the
public what is the highest type Of practic-
al fire fighting.
But the acme of courage IS shown
when the firemen enter the burning tene-
ment house. The spectators are thrilled
with horror as they behold the inmates
aroused from their slumbers and scream
ing franticaily for help. while the fiery
blazes leap all around them and the floors
begin to give way. No wonder spectators
frequently, In their frenzied excitement,
arise in their seats and shout to the fire.
men to rescue the unfortunates. Tnen
We are all compelled to worship the noble
fire laddies who gallantly and practically
save from a seeming fiery Geatn the per
sons entombed in the burning structure.
Il wish also TO say word for the
horses used by Chief Hale in his exhibi-
tons. They are specimens OF the great
est capabilities. with brain developed to
cooperate with their masters. Taught 20
trust these men, they enter into the spirit
Of the work of the hremen and show the
same fearleSness. These grand animals
know that lives are at stake. and they
proudly respond to calls of their drivers.
and l may say for the best that Is to be
found in the brute world. These horses
dash through burning gates, completely
enveloped in flames. I want to tell you
that tonight they passed through five
ordeals that would try the courage OF
many men. This evidence of what the
fire horses have been taught TO do is but
in keeping with the practical fire fighting
and adds to the iuster of the greatest
spectacular show ever presented to the
public, as given by the Hale Fire Fight
ers"
