Speaking of the Department in gen eral, its equipment, etc., Chief Schnib ben concludes his report as ronows. "We have in service on chief's bug gy, one hook and ladder truck, one chemical engine, one steam fire en gine which answers all alarms; three hose wagons each carrying 1,000 feet standard hose; the fire "boat Atlantic.

The attendance was well up to ex pectations and the two remaining ev enings of the joyous event promise to surpass even the opening. There are six large booths, each with its distinc tive characteristics and the ever-popular country store, making a merry midway about which hundreds of young people thronged during the ev ening and voted Col. Walker Taylor's soldier boys entertainers after their own hearts. Native moss and Sou thern smilax lent effectiveness to the general scheme of decoration and the bazaar gave evidence of careful and systematic arrangement in every de partment. The bazaar was formally opened by Charles C Loughlin, Esq., who has the management under his direction, with a pleasing talk in behalf of the Bovs Brigade, extending a welcome to the general public to attend and expressing appreciation for their aid in making the affair a success. The programme, consisting of musi cal selections, which will be rendered each evening during the bazaar by quite a number of Wilmington's most talented musicians, was as follows last evening": Overture, by orchestra; vocal solo, Mrs. J. J. Loughlin; selec tion from "Madame Butterfly," Miss Gracie Craig; orchestra selection; vo cal solo, Mrs. J. D. Edwards. A fine musical programme will be rendered each evening by the Boys' Brigade orchestra, in addition to the many oth er splendid musical attractions. The various booths and those in charge, lady friends of the organiza tion, are as follows: Candy, Misses Eslie Risley, Lucile Smith, Etta Craig; Punch, Miss Bessie LeGwin, Mrs. W. R. Dosher; Ice Cream, Mrs. J. W. Orrell, Misses Fannie Branch, Ada Singletary, Misses Lewis; For tune Teller, Miss Gracie Craig; Jap anese Tea Garden, Misses Sue Hall, Virginia Taylor; Cake; Mrs. W. A.
