REGARDED WITH DISMAY. Upholding the Island's Prestige

Hauirax, N. S., Aug. 12.

Yesterday was another glorious day the Tournament, and fully seven t persons were present when the ot sports commenced,

The Windsor, N. S., Hose Team carried off the $300 prize and the ‘Silver Trumpet in the half mile hose-reel against all competitors in two minutes forty-three and a quarter seconds, which is the ‘best time on record. The St. Stephen, N. B., Team came second, only half a second later. The other teams made the time in the following order, Yarmouth, N. 8., Halifax, N. S.. Charlottetown, P. E. 1., Dartmouth, N. S St. John, N. B., Portland, N. B.. Bangor, Me.

The Charlottetown team :—James King, captain and coupler; Jeremiah Meagher, coupler; Wim. Murray, pipeman; Frederick Bevan, John Whear, Frank Davison, John McKenna, Thomas W rystan, Mc- Quillan, Hammond R. Large, Michael Connolly, and L. Coffin was the first team called out.

the

cessive. The boys did excellently but they were not accustomed to the ground and lost time in coupling the hose. Their

otticial time is 2 minutes 53 seconds.

The Bangor team after all its brag and boasting and the betting in its faver, was lisgracefully beaten. Halifax was also badly ‘‘left” as were also St. John and Portland.

The Charlottetown boys : Daniel J. Me- Donald, captain; Daniel Cameron, Edward Brecken, Charles Leigh, jr., John Allen, Joseph McNeill, Frank McDonald, John P. Murray, James McEachern, and Charles Kennedy, won the first prize of $100 in the Salvage Corps race in one minute five and a quarter seconds, with the Halifax bad second.

New Glasgow won the Hook-and-Ladder race in the extraordinary time of 1 minute, 84 the Charlottetown team—Ken- neth Finlayson, captain; Duncan McRae, ladder-man; Patrick Burke, Charles Stewart, Jefferson Gardiner, Ronald Me- Donald, John Proud, Cephas Murley, Peter Doyle and A. Long came second, and Hali- fax third.

The representatives from the ‘ bright little, tight little Island” have created the most favorable impression, and are regarded by their competitors with something like dismay.
