preached so close as to scorch their
hides and burning embers fell all
about them. In summer and winter,
in sunshine or storm, when the pave
ments were icy or the mud up to their
fetlocks, they were always the same,
and at the signal would go swinging
out Of the stalls, ready to share with
their masters whatever emergency
might Be awaiting them.
Stories Of heroism among the ami
mails are as numerous as those which
dealt with their "almost human"
qualities, and this one, among the
many, will illustrate their ever
ready willingness to even lay down
their lives at the call of duty:
One Christmas morning, several
years ago, the alarm struck in one Of
the downtown engine houses in
quarter where the narrow streets
were constantly crowded with men,
women and children. Out dashed
the big triple hitch. hoofs flying
and necks qntstretched in their
eagerness to be the first at the blaze.
Around corner two children play
ing in the street paid no heed to the
alarm and the big animals were al
most on top Of them before the driver
saw them.
What followed was such a fre-
quent occurrence in the life of the
department as almost to be COM
monplace.
The driver, although realizing that
death for him and his horses might
be the alternative to striking the
children, did not hesitate, and at his
touch on the reins the big animals
swung directly across the sidewalk
into the wall Of building. Taking
into account the general intelligence
displayed by the horses in all other
matters, it is not unreasonable to
suppose that they understood the
character Of the obstruction into
which they were heading, but if they
did they did not falter any more
than the man in the drivers seat,
and In an instant they, as we'll
as the reinsman, were dying on the
sidewalk.
Probably no man in New York |
City knows more about the New
York Fire Department than DR..
Harry M. Archer, Of 72 West |
Eighty-second Street, FOR more than
thirty-four years a volunteer worker
at fires. He was recently made an
honorary deputy fire chief in recog
milton Of his services, and will tell
you countless stories about the hero
ism Of the old fire horses. There
are a host Of similar stories In the
book written by Alfred M. Downs.
"Once during fire in Hudson !
Street saw about two hundred feet
Of blazing roof fall fifteen feet from
some horses, but they never budged,"
DR.. Archer said. Loyalty and
courage were two Of the predomi-
nant qualities among the beasts, and
they rarely flinched when called to
the test.
Because Of these and other quail
ties the animals almost invariably
became great pets, loved alike by the
firemen and by the children in the
neighborhood.
n do not know II 1T 10 true, but
there were many hors6 in the de-

stories about other famous horses
which at one time or another were
in the service Of tho Fire Depart
ment Of New York City. Engine
Company 80 had dapple roam called
Bull who was not only a marvellous
animal in the harness, but also
such q stickler for procedure and
precedence that he would not allow
any man to board the wagon until
his collar had been properly snapped
on, and the captain of the company
told Of one instance when the ami
NAL deliberately turned and tore the
coat off man who attempted to
vary this routine.
At Engine Company IA you viii
hear many stories about old Major,
who would Cough to show that he
was ILL.," dance at a moments invi-
tation, shake hands, or do several
other tricks which made him a great
favorite with the children in the
neighborhood. And they will tell
you an entirely different crop of
stories at Hook and Ladder Is,
where "Nigger, the Devil Of the
Fire Department" was stationed,
and where, despite an unlovely
prediction for biting, he won gen.
eral admiration because Of his giant
strength and speed when going to
fires.
Jerry One of the Last
Other famous horses could BE-
mentioned, but as the city kept get
ting bigger and bigger even their
powers. great as they were, began
to prove unequal to the task, and
finally, about ten years ago, the city
began to motorize the department,
work now being carried on by Hubert

pairs ana supplies.
Now only a few of the fire horses
remain in Manhattan, the oldest be-
ing Jerry, at Engine Company So,
whose running mate, of course, is
named Tom. Jerry is q great favo-
rite among the men, and Jim Robin
son, cne Of the firemen stationed
there, has announced his intention
Of trying to buy him when the
auction takes place.
"f I get him, I'll send him to my
brothers farm in Dutchess County,
where he can get all the feed he
wants and live the rest Of his life
in peace" said Robinson.

STARTS WORK WITH

H. Mike Butler has been obtained
as a trainer for the college athletes
and will being work Monday. This
announcement was made by the board

been considering several candidates.
but finally decided that Mike was the
best man for the place and took the
necessary steps TO meet his conditions.
Butler comes to O. A. c. with a rep
utation that is of the highest type. He
is well known on the campus as he
was employed last fall for three weeks
in conditioning the football team. His
work was SO effective that he took a
team that had been handicapped with
injuries throughout the season and
within a few days whipped it into first
class condition so that not one min
ute's of time had to be taken out dur
ing the remainder of the season.
He comes with the highest recon-
mendations. The Chicago Athletic
club with which he was connected for
many years, speaks of him as tine
best man in his line in that part of
the country" In fact it was when Mike
brought west a team of athletes rep
this club which cleaned up
the track meet held at the time OF the
Lewis and Clark exposition, that he
first attracted the attention of the
west.

ton, but he is also a fine clean man

make hot fight. Last night, after
one of the toughest and most closely
contested games ever played on the To-
cal Y. M. c. A. floor, the Capital Ma
tional quintet, headed by Homer Hut
sey, came out on the long end of a IL
to 10 score against the Anderson
Brown team, heretofore undefeated
leaders in the Commercial league. The
victory of the bank team ties them
for first place. Rivalry was running
high even among the spectators, who
were constantly on their feet. AT the
end of the first half the score stood
8 to G, and the fight was so hot In
the second half that time had to be
taken out on several occasions. And
there were casualties too. DR.. Chal-
mers George of the bank team was
knocked completely out once A large
number of fouls were called against
