her loading berth, and she spent the
next 40 days in that harbor storm
bound.
The Remick is one OF the Oldest
coasters plying TO this port, having
been built in 1861. As the captain
and crew are on monthly wages, the
chances are that the bill which they
will present for their services will be
greater than the vessel is actually
worth.
In all probability the Remick would
have been at Portsmouth yet had not
the tug Portsmouth lowed her here.
In the past few months the fire de-
! partment has been subjected TO unus-
ual tests. The season has been not
ably severe, with what appear TO be
an uncOmmonly large number OF storms
and much more than ordinarily low
temperature. II has happened that on
several occasions when the weather has
been inclement the fire department has
been called on TO fight fires of alarming
proportions A case in point was the
| fire on Pearl street, another was the
| fire in the Waverley house in Charles
| town. with an exceedingly dangerous
| blaze at the same time in Province
court, in the city proper The work
OF the department in the Studio build
ing fire also may be cited.
Any one of these fires might have
developed into "A con1agration, aided,
as each one was, by the conditions OF
the weather, but for the heroic work Of
| the department, from its head TO the
| youngest member. 1t is gratifying 10
be able TO call attention 10 the splen-
| did responses 10 tests that could not
| have failed to reveal any weakness of
administration or any departure, eth
or from the established high standard
in this respect, or from the high stand
ard of individual efficiency and devo-
tiOn throughout the department.
The tremendous rush which always
occurs just previous 10 the great Bos-
ton Automobile and Power Boat Show
is now on, and the officer of the man
agcr, Mr.. Chester |. Campbell, resem-
beS bustling newspaper Office OF
modern type. Corps of stenOgraphers,
bookkeepers and Office men are hus-
Ting from morning until night. APP
plications are still pouring in, but the
management is unable to take care
of the many applying as everything is
sold The show is creating great en-
thusiasm among the manufacturers and
dealers and attracting general atten-
tiOn throughout the United States, for
the Boston show is world beater.
! The number Of exhibitors is far I'm ex-
cess Of that of any other show held in
this country, and its success is largely
due to the efficient work of the gov
Crning board and the management of
! the Boston Automobile Dealers Asso-
| citation. The Boston show will open its
doors March ID and will close March
! 10th. Every noverty known 10 the
| trade-every automobile of promise
made in the United States and every
prominent boat of interest will be
represented at this great exposition.
Beginning Monday evening, March
{, Miss Maxine Elliott returns 10 the
Hollis Street theatre for a two weeks
eng cement in what has already proved
here, as elsewhere, the greatest sue
cess she has had since becoming and
| individual star. Her Great Match"
the comedy by Clyde Fitch which was
SO enthusiastically received here last
season, will be presented again by Miss
Elliott, and from the manner in which
both the star and the play were taken
up by BoStons play-goers on the occa-
sion OF Miss Elliott's previous visit,
II is a safe prediction that the two
weeks stay of this popular actress will
be an occasion of gratifying results.
