Montgomery county's firemen, before hundreds of admirers, won cheer after cheer Saturday as they demonstrated their ability in competitive fire-light¬ ing tedts at the-twelfth annual demon¬ stration of the Volunteer Firemen's Association of the county in Willow Grove. i
Sixty-five citizen flre companies, re¬ presenting 10,300 volunteers, at 3 o'clock manned their apparatus and paraded into the park, while tihe bandd played and many residents of Mont¬ gomery county followed with waving pennants.
The Bryn Mawr Fire Company, es¬ tablished and maintained to a largei extent by Samuel Vauclain, presi¬ dent of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, a resident of Bryn Mawr, was the first prize winner of the afternoon, when eight men of the .company won the pumping contest in the record time of nineteen and three-qiiarter seconds
The Bryn Mawr company was the speediest to pump .water from the Willow Grove lake through ^our sections hose, 200 feet long using snap coup¬ ling. The winner of the pumping contest with screw coupling was the Friendship Hose, Hook and Ladder Company, of Royersford, with, a time of seventeen ancj a quarter seconds.
The Ambler team, starting the test, failed to figure, a development of met chanical trouble preventing flow of water.
The hose laying contest, for the best; speed in laying 200 feet of hose, from a flre plug to a frame hose, near tha Wlllow^ Grove Park ball field, was the next event. It was won bv the Weldon Fire Company in twenty and one- quaiter seconds.
The McKinley Flre Company suc¬ ceeded in carrying off first honors in the hose-laying and ladder contest, hooking up the hose to a fire plug' laying it out and running it up a lad¬ der to the roof of the frame house in 2«   1-2   seconds.
The prizes, silver loving cups en¬ graved with appro] riate designs, wera presented by the park management. After the demonstilitions, the firemen many in bright colored and attractive uniforms gave themselves over to thei less strenuous social features of thei day's outing.
At a dinner given by the oflicers of the association and the demonstration committee, it was announced by Albert C. Livergood, the secretary, that at the monthly meeting of the firefighters' organization, next Saturday, an im¬ portant innovation in the association's activities is to be proposed for approv¬ al, namely at schedule of sick and death benefits for the volunteers.

Robertson and Pearson were in the outfield while the reinainder of the team was made up of McCarraher, Sharkey, Scanlon, Rdwards and Johnson. After the dust had cleared awav in the third inning Ainbler had a lead of 11 to 5 score. This is the third win of the season for Ambler, and had the locals two weaW teams to play on Labor day instead of Souderton and Doylestown there might be a possibility of crawUng out of last place.
The locals hit the ball hard and at opportune times. Sharkey had three hits to his credit, while Pearson had a home run and Kelly a three-bagger. The latter hit his triple when the sacks were loaded, McCarraher played his usual good game at second Sharkey also Jilayed an important part in win¬ ning  the  game  by getting  three  hits.
Martin held the Conshohocken team safe until the fifth period, when they scored three runs, and in the next two frames adding two more tallies, which was the best they could do.

Prayer was offered, in open¬ ing the meeting, by the Rev. A. K. Stuart, and short addresses were de¬ livered by the Rev; Mr, Rlckert and Dr. ^erbert McKinstry.
! A brief history of the family is as %llows: The earliest ancestors of the J^cKinstry family known came to thid tSbuntry from the north of Ireland in JSe early part of the 17th century, hav- iag been driven here because of perse- .g^tion on account of their attachment the Protestant faith. The records iW in hand are of Nathan McKinstry, d Oif whom many of the present mbers are direct descendants. Nathi- McKinstry was born in Ireland in year 1712 and came to this coun- between the years of 1720 and 1740, tling in the township of New Britain r the line of Warrington, on a pro- ty long in the possession of his des- dants. He was a member of the ishaminy Presbyterian church and of ich he was a trustee, having been ected in 1782. From the records of e 'ourials in the cemetery adjoinlngj church   Natha^t. .McKinalayr  died'
The family-jSl^te) which 1/in the pofe- session of Sfifs. Henry McKinstry, shows that thw* were four sons an^, two daughters otf Nathan, and it ap* pears that one son, Robert, who WB.S born February Srd, 1755, and who died! July 25, 1834, at the age of 78, was the) grandfather of majiy who wejfe living) at the time the first reunion was held in 1895, and of those .surviving now he is the great-grandfather, while to others the great-gi-eat-grandfather. Robert's wife was Mary Weir, who died April 6th, 1864, at tihe age of 89 yeais. There were seven children born to Robert and Mary Weir McKinstry and they lived on the family estate at New Britain, later the property being tenanted by the son Robert, Jr., and the only daugh¬ ter Jane. It also appears from the records that a brother to Mary Weir McKinstry maxried into the McKin^ry family as well, becoming the husband of a sister of Robert, Sr., By this mar
