KEEPS UP WITH THE DEPARTMENT Ex-Chief William M. Williams in Touch With all Equipment
 From Hand Engines to Autos-Early Days of West Side
 Engine Go. Told by7a Former Resident. J. w. Loomis.

William M. Williams Engine company until the paid company was placed there. He recalled on the occasion of this visit to the house the vast im- provement that had been made and referred to the fact that the name of the company. which was cut in stone and placed over the door of the steam CT house had to be done twice, as tho first one was lost in the Connecti- cut river Ex-Chief Williams missed only a few minutes of being on the auto when the alarm of fire was sounded, in which case he would have had the experience of responding to an alarm on the auto, after being out of the department many years.
 Old Hand Engine Days.
 In this connection, James W. Loo mis of Fairhaven, Mass, writes in terestingly of the hand fire engine days on the West Side over fifty years ago. In letter to friend here he writes this for The Bulletin: I am going to give you some news about old Nor wichs hand fire engine department, and more especially our favorite Nep- tune No. of East Chelsea not0riety, which proudly bore the motto:
 Work me well and keep me clean
 III take the butt of any macnine.'
 Of this her crew felt very proud, for the old favorite was never washed and she never refused the butt of any machlne.' You recollect over fifty years ago that on one fremen's parade Jay that old No. won a $20 gold piece in the race from the old tell bridge to the reservoir or cistern in Frank lin square and the same day at the Falls flagpole she won another $Z0 gold piece in competition with all the other engines, for throwing water lht high est over the flagpole. That day was a lively one for the 1iremen of Norwich especially the West Side boys. 1 won der many times if any of the boys are living, especially No. 5's boys.
 There were three Loomis boys on No. that day who helped to win the two $20 gold pieces, also helped to put new brooms in the sockets that held the torches. The three Loomis brothers are now living, which l be- lieve cannot be duplicated John w. Loomis, born April s, 1S36 at Norwich, is living at Bridgeport; James w. Loomis, born June IS. 1888. at Nor wich. is living at Fairhaven, Mass, and Charles A. Loomis, born October g, 1842, at Norwich, is now living at Hartford.

It began in the rathskellar. where the elaborate decorations were in the French colors of red white and blue, with ribbon rosettes for those who served as wait CTS to place before the members the following delicious menu:
 Soup au Pois avec Croutons
 Chops D'Agenau
 Pototocs a la Francais
 Poes-ver Bisquis
 Demi i-Tasse
 In the preparation Of the spread the committee had the assistance of MT. Caldwell of a well known Franklin square lunch room.
