Elli HUNDRED AT THE TIMES

The Delegates Receive an Ovation of Bed
Fire and Roman Candles as They Start
for the Point-“Ilsa Grove Aglow With
Japanese Lanterns, and the Pavilion
Gay With Flags and Bunting—Toasts

' and Responses. /

The banquet tendered to the Connecti.
cut State Fjremen's association by the
South Norwalk Fire Department, at
Roton Point, last night, was it becoming
climax to the interesting proceedings of
the day.

Early in the evening Heine’s bandtoot-
edafew tuneful selections in front of
the Mahackemo Hotel, bringing the dele-
gates out from their trystiug places. and
people generally from their homes. in
anticipation of seeing Governor Cof’fin.
They were disappointed, however, for
late in the afternoon Colonel Frost re-
ceived a telephone message that the gov
ernor was sick and would be unable to
attend the banquet. Although the
throng that had flocked to the streets
was obliged to forego an anticipated plea-
sure, they had the satisfaction of seeing
the jolliest assemblage of firemen that
ever the full round August moon shone
upon.

Shortly before 8 o'clock, amid a blaze
of red fire, the blaring of the band, and
the huzzahs of thousands of throats, the
delegates. the members of the local fire
companies and their invited guests form-
ed in line and proceeded to South Main
street to await the arrival of trolley cars
to convey them to Roton. While they
waited the band played and the firemen
played, sung and danced, and quenched
their thirst at a neighboring refractory.
Pretty soon car No.9, which had been
especially fitted up by the Norwalk
Tramway company for the governor,

,_ rolled up South Main street in charge of
l Conductor Caffrey and Motorman Sweet.
) The seats had been removed from the in-
! terior, and in their stead were half a
dozen massive rattan easy chairs; the
sides of the car were handsomely up-
holstered, while many minature incan-
descent lights shed their efi'ulgence upon
a wealth of smilax and palms. with
which the car was decorated. The car
remained a short time on the South Main
street switch, where it was admired by
all eyes, and was then taken back to the
car barn. At 8:30 o'clock eleven cars
came whirling up the street, and stood
strung along between Washington and
Monroe streets. They were quickly
boarded by the eager. expectant firemen,
and in a few minutes were on their way
to Roton. The governor‘s car, occupied
by prominent guests, headed the pro-

cession.
South Main street was in a blaze of

light and glory. Bed fire was burned,
rockets filled the air. Roman candles
were set off, handkerchiefs were waved
on every hand and many houses were
gaily decorated and illuminated, all of
which called forth hearty (tears from
the firemen. At the junctio of Wood»
ward avenue and Meadow street a large
party of children had assembled and
waved flags and cheered as the cars pass-
ed them. Way up near the top of the
tall smoke-stack at. the Tramway com.
pany power bottoms row of incandes’
cant lights encircled the chimney as a
sort of beacon light to the firemen.
Everything went merrily along the
route. and merrier still when the tire-
men reached the Point. The grovo was
aglow with Japanese lanterns, and the
big hotel. likewise the dancing pavilion
down by the water. where- supper was
served. was lavishly decorated with
flags and bunting. Hundreds of people
had preceded the firemen to tlrol’oini.
and the resort never before presented
such a gay and animated scene at night.
The band played, the people promenad-
ed,snd the firemen flirted with the prob y
girls until the boom of the big cannon
over on Pine Point at 10 o’clock. invited
them to tho feast. Then they formed in
line behind the band, near the hotel. and
marched to the pavilion. with its rows of
white robcd tables. receiving as they on-
tsrad a programme of the exercises,
which were as follows:

THE TOASTS.

 

l'ollcltous Remarks by Promlcnat Ian of
the City and Association.

From Boston brown bread, the fire-
men proceeded to regain themselves on
toast. The toastmaster was Colonel
Russell Frost, whose remarks were most
felicitious, the calling for responses be-
ing in the colonel’s most happy and con-
genial vein. ln opening the season of
after supper speeches the toastmsster
welcomed the guests on behalf of the
South Norwalk Fire Department to the
city, the convention. and all of its enjoy—
ments. Their welcome. be said, was as
broad as the waters whose billows dash-
ed upon the rocks at their feet. He
then apologized for the absence of 00v-
ernor Coffin, stating that the governor
had been expected until the last mo-
ment. The governor, he said. had been”
taking a vacation in New York state,
and would have been here had be not
been troubled with an ulcerated tooth.
Erysipelas was feared. and his physician
had fordtdden his coming. “But we
have had the acting governor of the state
in the city of South Norwalk for some
time,” Colonel Frost continued. “as,
owing to the absence of both governor
and lieutenant governor from the state,
President John H. Ferris, of the Ssnate,
has been governor pro tem.” He then
called on Senator Ferris to respond to
the toast "The State of Connecticut.” to
which Governor Coffin was to reply.

Mr. Ferris arose amid the applause of
the assembly. After making a few re.
marks in a happy vein about it being a
cool day when he became governor.
and noting the fact that last week was
a cool week and that his administration
suited him if i-: did not anyone else, the
senator welcomed the guests to Norwalk,
paying tribute to its excellent harbor
and beautiful islands and shore re sorts.
which he said were all donated to the
guests during their stay. Mr. Ferris ex-
pressed hia thanks to the wiegates for
sending Chief Baker as a delegate to the
international convention and assured
them that llr. Baker would do credit
both to himself and the State Fireman’s
association. He also kindly referred to
Nicholas Staub, who worked hard for
the state appropriation to the association,
which was finally secured. He
spoke briefly upon “The American Fire-
men,” the subject of the toast assign to
him. In closing he said he had only one
rrqurst to make. That was that when
the firemen were through they return
the keys to Chief Baker.

The next speaker introduced was ex~
President I. 8. Hyatt, of Marideu, whose
toast was the “The Connecticut State
Fireman's association.” He spoke of the
good of such an organizrtion and the
spirit in which firemen worked.

Mayor Mortimer M. Lee followed with
a "Welcome to South Norwalk." He
said: Mr. Toastmaster and Fellow Fire-
men: if I were called upon in some
other town or city to respond to this
toast I would feel in duty bound to draw
a graphic picture of a model .city. But
that is rendered unnecessary, for the
reason that our friends from all parts of
the state has been permitted to use us,
not through aglns darkly, but face to
face, and as l look into their faces, I feel
assured that they know a good thing
when they sccit; therefore it would be
like carrying coals to Nchastlmo speak
to you of that which you do know. As
Webster said of Massachusetts, '1 shall
enter on no oncomium, she needs none.
there she is, behold her and judge for
yourselves. ‘Thero is her history; the
world knows it by heart. The past at
least is secure. Tin-re is her harbor, her
commerce, her mauufnciuries, horsplcnv
did homes. her hills and vulluys, and
last. but by no means least, her him Do-
partmentmnd there will they remain for-
ever. lt has been a great pleasure to me
that we have had with us today such dis.
tinguished guests as the members of the
Connecticut State Fireman’s association.
and i hope the pleasure has bean mutual.‘

City Attorney John El. Light, who was
introduced as the Henry Clay of Csunac~
tlcut. responded to “The Law." "We
could colorist without it," he said: "it
issvsrywhsre and In everything. Our
lives are governed by it, and were it not
for this the world would be much was
off than it is at must. it baboons us
fromdsy to day to remember we are
under the law and govern ourselves ac-
cordingly. We should take a dcsp pride
in what thelaw has done and is doing
for this grass country."

Eon. E. O. Kevlar. of Norwslk,wss
right at home is "The hamsters.” He
said very few manual the excited
position held by the wastmsster. He
was so eminent lawyer. colonel and
judge. but he was probably thankful he

“The Veteran Fireman" was the toast
assigned to A. J. Kennedy. of Derby, but
that gentleman could not understand
how the impression came to be abroad
that be was a veteran. as be had been
only a .few years in the service. He
made an interesting address on the work
accomplished by the brave fireman. and
the benefit, derived from a perfect org aa-
izstion.

When Nicholas Snub rose to respond
to the toast “Our Guests," he received In
ovation, showing the esteem in which he
is held by the firemen of the state. He
extended the thanks of the guests to the
South Norwalk firemen for the elaborate
reception they had received. He said it
surpassed all other attempts. Mr. Stabb
dwelled upon the state association of
Connecticut, saying it was the pioneer
organization of its kind.

point of view. He said a minister was a
man, and he believed that a clergyman
should bea man among men. He had
enjoyed the banquet and thanked the
firemen fer the kind invitation and the
pleasant evening he had spent.

Mayor Bubbell, of Norwalk, delivered
a pithy address upon the “Duty of Our
Citizens to Firemen.” He said he had
rather see money spent towards a. good
fire department than have it go into the
maws of an insurance trust. Norwalk,
he said, had a good volunteer fire depart
ment; too good, in fact. They some-
times put out fires too quickly. as the
buildings would be of more benefit to
the town if in ashes. In closing he said
he hoped every citizen would give the
association their hearty support.

Morris Meyers. of Danbury. president-
clect of the association, thanked the
”delegates for the honor Conferrcd upon
him and thanked the South Norwalk
department for the able way they had
entertained them.

James Golden's response to the toast
"The Press," was replete with anecdotes,
and afforded merriment for the guests.

Editor Woodrui’f, of Litchfisld, made a
few remarks by way of praise for the
association. and the banquet adjlurned
with three cheers for the Connecticut
State Fireman‘s association and the South
Norwalk Fire Department and Chief
E. V. Baker.

The firemen were conveyed to and
from the Point free of charge by the
Norwalk Tramway company.

I did not come here to talk, but to par-
ticipste as a listener, as l have at ovary
