" " IhHr Ujfn Viiliuilcrri * Yesterday was Omaha day nt the tourna ment of the National rirtmcn'a association , for tuo euectacular roles were almost ex clusively assumed by local companies Omaha had no nidi , tlthcr , of being nsbatned of Its representatives , for despite the fact that they have not gone Into nnj eort of training for the tournament , as thej liad not expected to tnko part , they made : decidedly creditable showing a fact tcatl- lied to by the applause with which theli exhibition * we-ro urcetod Hnglnc Company No .1 assumed the luavj task of extinguishing the lire. It was : tnoro dlfllcult part to play than the Denvc : company had set before It on Wcdnesdi. Thcru was a heavier wind , and It wai blow Inj ; directly from the north , throwltif the llames and the Btnoko right In the v.a ; of the firemen. On the day before the wine blow the smoke to the north nnd awn ; from the gallant fire laddies. Moreover ! . ' there was a hitch on the part of the Judges the Urn being allowed to get a much bette Btart before the word was given to th company to go On top of this was nddci the fact that the company was entirely tin used to the engine house , not having usn It In practlco like the other companies. Ye. denplte. all these hindrances only thre minutes and twenty seconds elapsed fron the time that the men Jumped Into thel boots and slid down the poles until wate was turned off as a signal that the fire wa out. Chiefs Hale and Roberts of Kansa City and Denver paid the Omaha bojs j rompllment by getting their eompanle ready for action , because ? they believed th lire had gotten too big a start before th Omaha company was allowed to get nt It The local boys , however , fully demonstrate ! the stuff they are made of by putting th fire out In an Incredibly short time , al though they badly blistered their faces an' ' hands In doing It Home lied Hot Itiiniilnn. This hosu company also gave nn exhibl tlcm In the sprinting line It was urged o : to do this by n feat of the- Lincoln companj The beautiful pair of dapple grays thn represent the state capital ran 250 yard down the track In the time of 0 23 1-1 Chief Wild man grow somewhat hoastfu over this and offered to bet anjbody thai no other team on the grounds could ben litB horses Chief Itcdell did not tak u the bet , but In older to take a bit of th starch out of the Lincoln chieftain , he r.i the ) pretty ba > s of No 'I over the course The Judges failed to catch the time of th first lun and Chief Iledcll sent the teat ugaln. This time they made 0 2.1 Hat , nc cording to the Judges , but according to th wntchoH of Chiefs Halo nnd Iledell the tltn was 0 22' ' . Chief Wlldman wanted and wii given another chant o and after his teui had hail n good rest ho had them drive over the course again They made a tlui of 0 22. The sight of the wildly runnln horseH IIIng with the he.ivy hose wage at their heels and the firemen clinging I the vehicle was decidedly exciting It qullo possible that n hub-and-hub race be twecn the two teams will bo arranged be fore the close of the tournament. Hook and Ladder company No. 1 gave > splendid exhibition of pompier work on th seventy-two-foot building. The compnn went up In a body and as Individuals , o five ladders and on one. It also went agalui tln o In Healing the structure and did goc work. The last man of the company i live- reached the top Just one mlnuto an eight seconds from the time the llrst mn had raised the llrst ladder This was be ter than the Denver company did In comp < tltlon , but not BO good .is Kansas Cit > record K u M * UK C'llj'K niiutierx. The Kansas City company also did exce lent work with the ladders and guvo son llnet exhibitions of life saving on the II line. After scaling the structure a coup of the men stationed themselves In thli and fourth-story windows and the rest wei te > the top. The latter slid down the roj nnd picked up the men at the windows e the way nnd brought them safely to tl ground. The most thrilling feat was tl slide of one of the men headflist down tl rope with a man clinging to him The races wore again of first-class iiuallt Vhere was a disagreeable side to them In tl fact that the decisions of the Judges ai other otllclals proved to be unsatlsfacto In almost every case There was more- less reason for the complaints , as the- oil cliils appeared to become mixed at time's One of the pretty events was a 100.i dash for members of the volunteer eompa les. The- first prize win a gold medal wor } Jf. and $2-r > in cash , the second $ JO In ca ; and the third $10 In cash \ Held of elg started H L Clark and I L Sanderson i Carroll.
