HIGHEST TYPE OF PRACTICAL
FIRE FIGHTING IS SHOWN.
This Is the I'rnlne Ilntfnllon Chief
lljun of Boston Han for the
Hale Exhibition.
Among the thousands who witnessed the
exhibition last night bj- the Halo Fire
Fighters at the west end of the Pike, was
Battalion Chief Rjan of the Fire Depart
ment of Boston.
Chief Rjan exclaimed: 'The work I
have Just witnessed excels in everj re
spect, ex erj thing I have seen In my thirty
jeara of practical experience. Wbj-, the
work ot the Halo lire Fighters is even
more practical than the work actuallj
dono In the dally fighting of real fires
"The workmanship, the speed and the
excellencj- show that the performers haxe
reached the top-notch of fire lighting. So
superior were the executions I haxe Just
seen, that they almost deceived the eyes
of a xeteran nireman like myself.
"Take for Instance the scaling ladder
scene. Tho men run up their ladder
which Is nothing more tnan a pole with
hand and foot rests, requiring at all times
tho greatest courage, with the daring
that the hero alone feels, and at the same
tlmo with tho e.ise and seeming Indifference
shown by a man free from danger. These
noble men dallj- give these exhibitions, not
only to pleae th admirers of the Hale
Tire Fighters, but to demonstrate to the
public what is the highest tj-pe of practic
al fire fighting
"But tne acme of courage Is shown
when the firemen enter the burning tene
ment house. The spectators are thrilled
with horror as they behold the inmates
aroused from their slumbers and scream
Imr frantlcallj- for help, while the fierj
blazes leap all around them and the floors
begin to give waj No wonder spectators
frequently, in their frenzied excitement,
arise In their seats and shout to the fire
men to rescue the unfortunates. Tnen
we are all compelled to worship the noble
lire laddies who gallantlx- and practlcallj"
save from a ceming fierj datn the per
sons entombed in the burnlrg structure.
"I vriffii also to saj- a word for the
horses ued by Chief Hale in his exhibi
tions. They are specimens of the great
est capabilities, with a brain developed to
co-operate with their masters. Taught to
trust these men. thev enter Into the spirit
of the work ot the firemen nrd show the
same fearlene. These grand animals
know that lives are at stake, and thej
proudly respond to calls of their drivers,
and I may saj- for the bst that is to be
found in the brute world. These horses
dash through burning gates, completely
enveloped in flames. I want to tell ou
that to-night thej pas-d through live
ordeals that would try the courage of
manj- men. This evidence of what the
Are horses have ben taught to do is but
in keeping with the practical fire fighting
and add3 to the luster of the greatest
spectacular show ever presented to the
public, as given bj- the Hale Fire Fight
er?" Will He Closed.
Das Deutscho Haus will be closed to-daj
to allow preparations for to-morrow, Ger

from which the Boston tea party was
held.
