 The regular show was given at the Club on Saturday night
 1 The smoker given in the Club on Wednesday night was huge success. There were about 600 men present. The program started at s D. m. sharp with Assistant Superintendent Kennedy as chairman. There were no waits between acts and the program was over by 10 o'clock. There were boxing bouts be- tween Chambers and Manners, Uren and Shepard, Carpenter and Pettygrove and Wilson and Lindsay which were all very evenly contested and each one de- clared a draw. Solos by Messrs. Beardsley, Droste and Pettygrove were we'll rendered, as was also "Beautiful Garden of Roses" by a trio comprising Droste, Beardsley and Cornwell. Two reels of film were shown by the picture machine, and they were very interest ing. The parallel bar work of Marks aud Lindsay received we'll merited ap- plause. s. Berg played accompani. ments on the piano in very able man. her, and was assisted by ". Taylor, who tQrned the music lwhen not asleepl. The show wound up with an old-fash toned battle royal, in which 8 boxers took part, after which the mem bers of the Treadwell Fire Department, accom- panied by the member of the Douglas and Juneau departments, went to the Savouiau hall near the zoo mill, where they spent a couple of hours eating 'weinies," limburger, etc, and drinking the only beverage that goes with them The Treadwell boys are certainly to be congratulated on the good time they furnished their guests and every fire men hopes that this will not be the last smoker of this kind to be given by them. During the evening Charles Price and Hugh McRae gave a demon stration of the new smoke helmets re- gently purchased. The boys have only one fault to find with them, and that is that you can't even take drink of "water" while you have one on. A very amusing incident happened last night while the Bullion hose team was practiciug on the TreadweLl flats. After the team had made it's run and just as the water came through the nozzle young Italian who had slicked himself up to go and see his best girl was standing near the end of the grounds. The stream of water struck him and rolled him in the mud and he certainly was sight when the boys turned the water of-he looked more like drowned rat ithan anything else. Moral-Keep away from the nozzle.
