Hugh Bonner, Jr., to-day began the life of a fireman, Wita the record of his father, ex-Chlef Bonner, as an in- centive, he duties a spirit of enthustasm and realized fulfilment of his boyhood’s ambition. Tall and lusty, with plercing black eyes, dark hair and heavy mustache, Bonner, jr, !s an ideal fireman. Just past his twenty-second birthday, he looks every Inch his father of forty years ago—the {dentical firm lips and the same quiet yet determined manner.

Ambition of His Life, Ever since Hugh was old enough to stt on his father's knee and pull at the bright buttons on the elder’s coat his lot was cast. The Bonners then lived in Seventh street, and Hugh, the eldeat of a famfly of four boys and two girls, was sent to St, Francis Xavier's College. To his father as he began schooling he sald: “AN right, governor, I will need a lttle learning in order to take the Clvil- Service examination.” Battalion Chief William Guerin, then a foreman, was the hero of Hugh's childhood. Guerin and the boy were fast friends, meeting daily in West Sixteenth street as the former went home to his meals from a nearby fire-house, Although young Bonner took up the study of electricity, he never lost sight of the Fire Department, and recetnly when he passed the Clvil Service and celved his appointment he requested Fire Commissioner Sturgis to assign him to @ company in Battalion Chief Guerin's command. To-day {t was a matter of regret to him that he could not appear before Guerin as a fireman for orders. But he did visit the Chief, who is still suffering from the Injuries he received at the East River bridge blaze and is a patient at §t. Francis's Hospital Truck No. 6 and Engine Company No. 17 in Ludlow street, are the two busiest firehouses in the world. That's why Bonner asked to be assigned to elther as he wanted “to get with a company that had the moat work to do.” The ruling powers sent him to Truck 6, where his father began his remarkable career in the paid department as a fore- man. Bustest Company, “Not only are we the buslest tre company {n the greater city, but the lucktest as well,” commented present Foreman John P. Howe, “for none of our members has ever been killed at a fire. This is a great record as we aver- age from 7 to 100 runs each month of the year.’ It was quickly noted to-day that Unek.
