WHAT CAME OF IT.
Last week the Fire Department of this
city determined to have a little receition
and presfahtution at the Court House, in
citing everybody to participate free ot cost,
to wind tip with . a sociable and a hop at
the Opera House, charging for the last
privilege a iidftiTiial stirri. Soon after the ar
rangements were couipleli-d for the 4"1lov
out," news came from Portland that a few
of the citizen's of Portland, desiring td
testify their appreciation of the aid Albatly
gave them ia their successful celebration
during Centennial Week, were e'e'mirg up'
to lend their aid and assistance ii'i our
second addition of Ihe Centennial fun.
Chief Webber immediately on the recep
tion of the above information, telegraphed
back thafall who came would be heartily
Wel-bo'm'?d and entertained to the best of
our ability:
As soon as it was made public iii Port
land that a party intended coming from
that city to this, a large number of the
most prominent cltizers expresed a desire
to participate in the visit ; and the expres
sion was so earnest, coming, too, from the
leading men in the varied avocations and
Walks of life, that Mr. II. D. Sanborn, the
Head-Center of the whole affair, concluded
to enlarge somewhat upon the first inten
tion, and instead of twenty or twent-flve.
bring up sixt5'. But, as the seqiial proved.
it was toiind that, the door once opened, it
was found almost impossible to limit the
number as the entire city seemed desirous
of coming.
Mr. Sanborn and parts', consisting of the
elite of Portland, the Mayor, Dr. 5. A.
Chapman, members of the City Council.
members of the' Centennial Committee,
fepresentatives of the press, principal
officers of the Fire Department, and dele
gations from the fire companies, military
officers, divine's in fact representing the
talent and chivalry of Oregon's Emporium,
numbering between two and three hundred,
one-third probably of tvhoni were ladies,
left the depot of the O. & C Railroad at
East Portland about 4 o'clock p. M. of Mon
day, on a special train consisting of six
coaches and the President's car. Mr San
born had passed up the road to this city on
the morning train, made all arrangements
necessary for Ihe comfort ot his party, and
returned on the down or norllicrn train in
time to take command. ! Thus it was when
the excursionists am ived at Aurora they
found an elegant and bofinteous supper
spread for them, while the Aurora Bras
Band discoursed excellent music during
the repast. A large crowd of people were
at the Salem depot to see and be seen by
the excursion isls; also r.t Jefferson and
other point-?.
RECEPTION. " -The
excursionists reached our city at a
few minutes after 8 o'clock r. M., and were
received by the Fire Department in full
uniform, nearly 150 stron, and probably
2.000 citizens. As the train swept rfp to
the depot, the excursionists were greeted
with cheer after cheer, while the Albany
Brass Band,' secured for the occasion, and
the Northwestern Band with the excurs
irhitstY played their; mosf enlivening
strains. '
The party came from the cars in a per
fect stream, and a procession was soon
formed under command of Chief Webber,
and Assistant Chief, Geo. F. Simpson, in
the following order:' NVufonal flag. N.
W. Band, delegates lor the various com
panies Of tlte Portland nhiT Snlehi Fire
Departments. Mayors and members ol the
Common Councils of Portland, .Jefferson
and this city, members ot the Portland
Centennial Committee,. Portland press,
and citizens of Poittan,' Salem. Jefferson
I and other points, Albany Fire Department
bringing up the rear. In this order the pro
cession passed down Lyeh .to Sixth street,
up Sixth to Broadalbin, down Broadalbiu
to Fifth, and thence to the
. .. . COIRT HOUSE.
which, pretty Well filled before, was soon
crowded to its utmost capacity, with the
handsomest and best, behaved auGTence it
ever held of probably will ever again be
Called upon to hold. , Through the fore
thought of our new Sheriff. Mr. J. R. .Her
ren..a member of No. l's, the Court House
iiad been cleaned up and the whole edifice
illuminated, making a very handsome ap
pea ranee. -
The assemblage was called to order by
Chlff Webber, who reqttested the Mayor,
Hon. N. B. Humphrey, to preside. In re-
responce, tlie Mayor came forward and in a
nat and appropriate speecli, welcomed our,
visitors; and extentfe'd to; them the hospitali
ties of the city." The Mayor of Portland, pr.
Chapman. resiKinded In the most felicitous
niRnner. thanking our people for this grand
and tnjrxpeeted evstion,, .and promising
Siat Pprtlandefs. would remember it with
pride and satisfaction as long as timer
should last. ' '"". :" ' ..v
'I Mr. H. D. Sanborn then mado a state
rfient of the trial of steam engines at Porf
landon the 5th inst., declaring that the lit
tle Clapp Sc Jones fire engine, belonging

had falriy and squarely won tho first prize,

speech. phorVahd to the, point, , ; -Prof-White
was then introduced, 'and
read, tlie following beautiful poem, written
by himself at the .i-eo.uest of Mr. II.' D.
Sanborn,' and dedicated to the Albany Fire
Department: ( "
THE FIRE BOYS. ;
A clang and a clash cf bells,
A' wild, alarming cry
A cloud of smoke and tongues of fire
Paint sorrow" on the 8ky. - '
Woe, woe Is gathering round, '
The spread ia wider, higher,, ; ;
And now a thousand throats aa one.
Shriek out the cry ot fire.
But see! where duty calls,
Our red-shirt heroes stand.
Below, above, on tottering walls,""
A cool and gallant band ;
To save tlu poor man's all.
Or rich one's ample store, - . ..,..'
They face death's fierce and fiery breath,"
What heroes can do more;
They fight but not to kill.
They battle but to save," . .
No human blood our gallant's spill,
They dig no gloomy grave ; r
Unselfish, and unpalft,'
They enter on the StHfe, -
And face the fiend, face hell itself, '
To savfe a human life.
O; inaiiy a heartfelt prayer-.
Of rescued loves and joys
Are registered in heav'u
For our manly red-shirt boys.
God bless you, one a nd all.
And be your guard and shield,
And only in fair nature's con fie
To death be forced to yield.
And when life's tank is dry;
And the good machine is old,
And the fire bell tolls a measured peal
For an honest heart grown cold.
And comrades gather round j
In sorrow for the dead.
We pray that hcaveu's best prize may
grace.
Each silent hero's head.
The poem (by order -of the Centennial
Committee of Portland) was elegantly in
scribed on parchment and superbly framed-
Mr. White recited the poeru in the most
creditable manner, showing him to po.ssess
rare elocutionary powers. At the conclu
sion of the recitation, Mr. White, in choice
and elegant language, presented tho poem'
to the Fire Department of Albany. Chief
Webber received the handsom'D g'fr, and
to the surprise of himself and friends,
made a A-ery handsome little speech, intro
ducing Rev. Howard W. Strattoif, mem
ber of No. 2"s, who came forwar3 and read
the following
F.KSOi.UTIO'NS x
Resolved, That the Albany Fire Djeparfr
ment in response to the dedication by the
Portland Fire Department of the Centennial
Poem written by R.C. White, recognize
in the sentiments expressed, tl.e character
istic" generosity of our gallant comrades.'
JiesolreS; That in the late friendly con
test for Centennial honors, thi3 Depart
ment cherish lasting memories of the
hea?-tv hospitality and many generous
courtesies of our brother Firemen which
will make ties of friendship stronger as, the
years roll on. ; J
Resolved. That not only in the arena of
friendly strife, may the "Little Giant"' be
expected to come to the front, but when as
in the past,
, The clang and clah of bells.
May send a wild and alarming cry-
To the citizens hearts of our sister city.
And clouds of 6moke and tongues of fire
Attack the poor man s an.
And -rcii o'nes nnfpl6' sforc.
Our red shift heroes stand.
Ready to take their place in line of battle
with our brave comrades, and share with
them danger and death at duty's call.
Resolved. That we receive this graceful
poem, as a tribute to the triumphs of me
chanical genius, and the high position won
by the citizen firemen of our country
rather than as due to any special merit in
ourselves. .. . ; .,
Resolved. That fq R. C. White, who lias
so eloquently voiced the unspoken .utter
ances of each trtie. fireman's heart,- we ex
tend a Rpeciat Wercqme to ourcit,.and re

vish. -- -'

IS CONCLUSION. . - .
Tlie occasion- was certainly a most en
joyable one, thoroughly appreciated by our
citizens, every one of whom entered into
tlie spirit of the occasion, doing everj -thing
in their'rjbwer to make our guests feci
that" the we're among friends. As our hptel
accomodations were not 'sufficient tor so
large" a 'crowd as. visited us on the bpve
oi.-cas'loh, our citizens threw' open" their
resldtnccs, and all, we believe, were cared
for. Taken as a whole, it was the grandest
affair ever ? witnessed in Albany, and will,
serve to knit the citlzans of Portland and.
this city in closer and more enduring bonds
of friendship and respect.- -

The fact is no such excursion party was

posed as it was of the most distinguished
and prominent citizens of the State. ;
H. D. Sanbohn. In connection with the
Portland Centennial Committee, the gentle-,
nan whose name heads this article received
the fullest acclaim at tlie hands of the press
and people of Portland ; and the Rkoistkr.
went so far as to say a few favorable tilings , .
of him but f hen this latter part happened
before Mr. II. D. Sanborn had brought his
party lie re, and we had got thoroughly ac-
qtiainted with the man himself. Mr. San
born wa3 the head-center of a large con
pauy of excellent, representative people
who came from Portland and other points
on a visit to Albany, and were the gnests
of the city of Albany from Monday even-,
lng until Tuesday noon made so not only ,
on the invitation" of the Mayor of our city,
but of the Fire Department as well. 'Antf
now we come to the matter in baud, and
are compelled to acknowledge that Sanborn
is a but then'', we belong to church and
must be" cart ful what we say,' you know,'
therefore' will "narrate" further before prti'
nouncing judgment on hi in J-Tlie Com-
mittee of Arrangements had placed a num
ber of tickets at the various business lionises
in the city, .for sale,' proposing to charge'
every one but our guests a small adur&sien,
fee to the hop in the evening. Wcl', a!l
of these tickets were not sold, and now
comes in Sanborn's part in the play, fan-.
born found, out this fact, and tlie morning .
after the ball bright and early, be weuf,l(
round. and bought up alt the unsold tickets
he could .find, and carried them off to Port
land ! the Committee of Arrangements
never finding it out uutil after the, guests,
bad departed for Salem. Sanborn Is a,
genuine gol brielri'irhJ hV will always find
a welcome in Albany, but the "Com. ot' -A

takes all Summer.' 1
