From the time Mayor Morris Gold

 the bosom of Abraham marks the passing Of an historic event of the same character. and each year brings a riper experience with which the gathered devotees of the hose cart are regaled.a
 Members, officers and guests never sat down 10 a more notable dinner than the one that had been prepared by and under the direction of Arnold Cruickshank. The legendary figure of Jake Theobald was there with white jacket and carving knife. many of the assistants were old hands and only the youthful walters lacked that essence of pionecrdom that goes with such an event.
 Following the greeting of Mir. Johns. a former member, came res Donses for the various companies: Mir. Ryer spoke for the Toughs. Frank Brown responded for the Dudes: the O. K. Hose company presented Clar- ence McNeil and Toe Morgan upheld the Mechanics Hook and Ladder company. Each speaker contendcd that his company was the finest on the roster-in fact most of them ad- mittcd it, thereby hoping to preclude argument. The merits of the com panies were in controversy for but a short time, however, before Mir Gold water called upon Dave Russell to soothe the savage breast, which he did with "Mandalav" and Banjo Song" assisted by Dick Lamson at the piano.
 The music was a prelude to the very fascinating tricks and batter of one Anderson of Fort Whipple. who qualified as one of the finest single handed un-camouflaged magicians of his era. Mir.
