tees, the prizes for which you have 

 so earnestly and so successfully com- 

 peted, and I trust that the records 

 which you have made in this prac- 

 tical work will serve as an incentive 

 for your work in the future. 



I will now, Mr. Winne, present to 

 you, on behalf of the Board of Trus- 

 tees, the cash prize of $ioo for the

 bill in each one of these packages is 

 a fair criterion of the bills which are 

 beneath it. It affords me pleasure, 

 Mr. Winne, to present to you 'the 

 prize of $ioo and the certificate.

Mr. President, Ladies and Gen- 

 tlemen : There once was a fireman 

 and he was very much beloved by 

 the Association of which he^'was 

 Chief. This fireman advanced in 



years and in honors, and it became 

 incumbent upon this fireman to 

 leave the service of which he had

During the last ten days, as you

 from the four corners of the earth a

 South, from the East and from the 

 West ; they have told their tales of 

 woe ; they have told their tales of 

 sorrow; they have told their desires 

 for the future ; they have settled 

 here as a focus. By way of con- 

 trast, ladies and gentlemen, we have
