It was customary 505years ago. ami

The old locomotives started that way,
and bore designations like the De

In fact it is within the memory, Of
men still active when locomotives
upon the lines running out Of Boston
were known by names instead Of
numbers, relates the Transcript Of

days this fitted into the character Of
the service. It helped to individual

members. Even the first Of the steam
I!fire engines that succeeded the hand
machines had to be christened with
the name OF some individual place or
event that had enjoyed prominence
in. the annals Of ;fre-hghters, and the
custom prevailed for long time aft,

given, II no serious objections are en-
