owing to the fact that the Charlottetown men had not the thorongh training in working with hydrants which some of the other visiting companies have. There were four entries, Yarmouth, Halifax, Carleton jand Portland, the latter of which carried off the prize. They labored under the dis- advantage of having wet hose, but they did admirable work. At the word ‘‘go,” they went off in grand style, and the cart fairly flew over the ground. In exactly thirty seconds they reached the hydrant and, like drijled men, cut off their 200 feet of hose, connected their plug pipe and had water, and earned the prize, in 1m. 13} seconds. This closed the afternoon sports. THE TORCHLIGHT FROCESSION,

If the firemen did well in the morning, they outdid themselves tc-night. Not for years, at least, if ever before, has St. John seen sucha brilliant turnout. The order of procession was the same as in the morn- ing, and the different hose-reels, steam fire engines and salvage wagons retained their decorations of the morning, with one or two exceptions The two Halifax hose- reels, which were first in the procession, were altered to great advantage. On the leading one a pair of colored lights was burned, lighting it up with magnificent effect and round about it was a square il- lumination of gas pipe, with burners about three inches apart. This was filled with oil, and wheu lit showed the ornamentation to excellent advantage.

Before closing, | must not forget to men- tion the Loyalist oration by Judge Wedder- burn. It was a finished piece of oratory from beginning to end and was greeted with tremendous applause.

A torch light precession under the managewent of Captain Beer, of Tremont Engine, Capt White of the Hook and Ladder Co, and headed by the Band of the 82nd Battalion, mafched down to the Railway Station on Saturday evening to welcome home the firemen who were attend- ing the St. John Celebration. On the arrival of the train from Summerside three rousing cheers were given for the men, and the ‘procession re-formed, marched up Water to Queen Street, and up Queen Street to Hook and Ladder Co. Station House. Chief Engineer Large, in the course of a few remarks, expressed the opinion that if Charlottetown possessed only one-half the advantages which belong to St. John, we could without any cavil boast of as good a Fire Brigade as there was in the Maritime Provinces. He said that the trip would, undoubtedly, do our men good service, as they got an insight into the workings of the Fire Brigade of St. John. He hoped that renewed interest would be taken in the Corps here. The Charlottetown fire- men he said presented a splendid appear- ance in the procession. He felt proud of them, not only for their appearance, but because of the orderly manner in which they conducted themselves while on their visit.

The collapse of the Massachusetts Central Railway caused great excitement all along the line. Over four millions have been sunk in the enterprise. The trustees took it under mortgage for $300,000. No trains will be run after the 18ch, the courts having refused to grant the petition of the trustees for an order confirming the contract with the Boston and Lowell Railway for operat- ing the road. The road cannot be made to pay running expenses, and the trustees will not incar further liability. Thousands of people will suffer from the failure. Many towns on the line are stockholders, and the losses to individuals will entail great hard- ship. The employees have net been paid for months.

Some tough stories come in the latest papers. In the recent lowa storm, cattle had their horns blown off. In Mississ:pp1, a boy was found it the bushes, who had been blown there from a distance, as no- body within miles ever saw him before. In Bangor, a covered carriage collided with a hydrant, and the driver way fired twenty feet *‘by actual measurement.” The in- ventive faculty is not to be ruined by fall- ing into disuse—not this year.

Florence Benton, daughter of a well- known banker and railway man of Concord, N. H., recently eloped with Fred. Bixby, a commercial traveller, with whom she got acquainted by flirting. After a long search her friends found her in Milwaukee, where she was abandoned by Bixby. The pair travelled as man and wife. She will be taken home. Her father threatens to shoot Bixby on sight.

A suit has been commenced at Rochester, N. Y., by the directors of the International Bridge Co. and Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge Co, against the Grand Trunk Rail- way Co. to recover $75,000 damages because the defendents failed to furnish the plain- tiffs nineteen free passes over the rvads that cross the suspension bridge, under the contract as per agreement entered into in 1853.

The steamer ‘‘Granite State,” which runs between Hartford, Conn., and New York, was totally des.royed by fire on the morning of the 18th, while approaching her dock at Goodspeed’s Landing, forty-one miles be low Hartford. Five lives were lost, four by burning and one by drowning. The bodics of the persons burned cannot be identified. One body has been already identified as that of the secund cook, named Jackson. Two bodies are supposed to be emigrant passen- gers. Nine horses were also burned. The cargo is a total loss. The steamer’s hull has floated down the river below the landing, and nothing is visible above the water but her gallows frame and walking beam. *‘Granite State’ was owned in Hartfurd by the Hartford and New York Transportation Co., and was valued at $55,000, She was insured for $40,000. Later accounts states: The body of Mrs. C. Main, of New Haven, has been recovered from the ‘‘ Granite State.” She was on her bridal trip and sprang overboard with her husband. They sank three times and Mr. Main became en- tangled in the paddle wheel and was saved. It is now thought Mrs. Main and the second cook, Jackson, a colored man, were the only persons drowned. There are two deck passengers still unaccounted for how- ever,
