ment was held last night in the Hal

destroy life and property" he said,
while the firemen work to save both
life and property. The fremen are
the real heroes"
DR.. Howard referred to many dis
astrous fires which have caused great
loss Of life and property In other
Cities Newark has been fortunate
In not having had many large fires,
he said. This is largely due to the
efficiency of the fire department and
its members"
At the close of the service DR.. How
ard was escorted to the quarters Of
Engine Company No. 2, in Centre
street, where an informal reception
was held. A gift of a gold headed

The flowers are at their best at this
time and are larger and more beauti-
full than usual this year. The chrys-
anthemums are of many kinds and
colors and superior in variety and
numbers with any exhibit of previous
years. Begonias and other flowers
also form part of the show.
The flowers are raised in the park,
and are placed on exhibition annually
by the Essex County Park Commits
sion. The show attracts large num-
bers of fiower-lo lovers annually from
Newark and from other parts of the
State but the attendance yesterday Is
believed to be the largest in the his
tory of exhibitions.

anthemums is ticketed with the name
of the species The exhibition will
remain open for two weeks.
