杰克逊维尔的佛罗里达消防员。
Florida’s firemen celebrated Firemen’s day at Jacksonville on Tuesday, November 9. during the gala week in that city. The tenth annual convention of the Florida Volunteer Firemen’s Association brought them together from all parts of the State, and the opportunity was seized to make the celebration worthy of its surroundings. The convention was presided over by Chief H. M. Papworth, of Sanford, who when the order of unfinished business came on, took occasion to speak in the highest terms of the secretary of the association, Silas B. Wright, and to present him in the name of the members with a handsome swinging silver water pitcher, with two heavy goblets on the stand. In the course of the business proceedings the president gave a short account of his efforts before the last two legislatures of the State of Florida to secure the passage of a law setting aside annually a fund of $1,000. to be used, if needed, for the relief of members disabled in the performance of duty, and for the burial of the dead, when other means were wanting. That such a bill had not passed either legislature was not for lack of earnest and untiring effort ; and he said that the duty to secure it would remain for his successor in office.
In his report Secretary Wright paid a well-deserved tribute to the excellence of the Jacksonville fire department and the “ well-known skill and scientific work ” of Chief Haney and his men. Chief Haney himself he styled the “best of fire fighters and the prince of good fellows.” The report of Treasurer C. E. J. Johnson.of Orlando, showed that the finances of the association are in good shape.
The annual election of officers resulted in the choice of the following :
总裁，酋长II。M. Papworth, Sanford (reelected);first vice-president, Chief B. F. Bowers, Key West (reelected);第二副总裁，奥兰多的威廉·史密斯（William Smith）酋长；第三副主席。奥卡拉酋长C. Carmichael；secretary, Silas B. Wright, DeLand, reelected ;财务主管C. E. Johnson。Orlando (reelected).圣奥古斯丁被选为下一个聚会场所。
随后的游行是由锦标赛继承的，其中许多有价值的奖项是激烈竞争的对象。
