l Chief Wade U. Webster and the mem | bers of the board of fire engineers Montgomery Hose Co, No. 2, assem- bled at their house, Jackson street and marched in 8 body to the hall, under Foreman Louis J. Flynn Alert Hose company, No. l, under Foreman J. F. Mustard, was there strong, and Excelsior Hook and Ladder company, | No l, was in charge of Foreman E. w. Jacobs. Hilltop Hose company, No. 8, was well represented with Foreman A. D. Chaffee at it's head. The American
 Thread conSpany's fire brigade, under First Assistant Foreman John Hoey, further swelled the busy throng. City officials were out in force-and girls
 were, of course.
 It was certainly a big night and only went to show that the firemen of the Thread City are factors to be counted upon at all times. Something has to move when they are at hand, and
 things did move, and no mistake. From the moment that the entertain lnent programme was concluded the merry pace started and continued un- til the hour of closing. Canvassers were unusually busy, and the mystery cake" proved big drawing card. The guessing contest was winner. Helm old's orchestra kept the feet of the tireless dancers tripping almost con- Stantly.
 The entertainment as a preliminary included a vocal solo by Captain Eu- gene J Ashton and Fred Dumaine in his famous barrel act and contor- tion stunts, that convulsed the audi ence with laughter. A number of vis- iting comrades were in attendance.

DIRECTORS TO AID
PLAYGROUND CAUSE
Proposal to Continue Recreation
Program Through Winter
Months Approved.

The fight to obtain an appropriation
from Congress, which would be used by
the District Commissioners to entertain
distinguished visitors to Washington, is
TO be carried direct to Congress by the
Chamber o. Commerce.
The report that the District Commits
sioners could not include such an item
in their annual estimates brought out
determined action at yesterdays meet
ing Of the directors of the Chamber.
Previously, the Commissioners had
been asked to include in their estimates
an item of $4,000 for entertainment of
distinguished persons and delegations
to the city, as It was considered that
local business men should not bear the
entire burden of this sort of entertain
ment. When it became known yester-
day that the Commissioners feared to
urge such an appropriation, the board
decided, upon motion Of d. J. Callahan,
that the subcommittee on estimates for
District expenditures be conferred with
and the appropriation urged.

Canada, Mexico, Central and South
America, and that shortly Washington
would be regarded as the private school
center of the whole Western world.
At the suggestion of Arthur G. Moses,
vice president of the Washington Play
grounds Association, the Chamber went
on record as favOrinS the continued
keeping open Of the city Fairgrounds
through the winter and spring months.
Unless sufficient funds were raised,

grounds would have 70 be closed No
