pecially the white elephant. is accredv
and it is a crime to kill one so if a
person receives one as a. gift. he
must keep it, whether he wishes to
or not. Hence the expression. as used
here. means something that is. in

owner has no use. Many one thing;

companies broke ranks and dashed
away on duty.
This fire was in the cellar of the
home of Peter Hurrak, 6 \Voodbury
avenue. A bundle of rags had caught
fire. There win: no loss.
The firemen started back. In the
meantime if was drawing close to
train time and the American band/
with a. number of men were getting
impatient. Lining up, they started
down West avenue toward the rail-
road station. They had barely reach-
ed the Wall street bridge at Isa’ac
street when the apparatus appeared.
Firemen left the apparatus and
broke into the ranks of their respec-
tive companies. Once more they
started off, hoping and hoping that
there would be no further alarms
until they were aboard the train
and headed for Port Chester.
Not only are the First Dis’frict
companies participating in the Port
Chester parade but the Second and
Third district companies as well.
The firemen presented a. fine appear-

train.
.The uniform forthe day consisted,
of white trousers, blue coats and
capl and leggings. The local “smoke

work .they accomplished at the fire
at 10 and 10 1-2 Cross street yester-

vented the blaze from spreading to
other houses nearby.
