Milton received 3rd prize. doîng the whole thing in 52 1/2 seconds. This was a disappoint- ment as much better lime had been made in practice and was caused by the reel mun ning into soine rough ground ai the point where the nozzle was to be attached and the hose was jerked out of the hands of the couplets thus losing several seconds. The Milton excursion arrived home ai 1:03 a.m. August 10, 1905 Fire- About 5.45 on Monday afternoon. M. Potcheti gave an alarnt of tire. He had noticed the store- bouse in the rear of John Willmotî's tin shop (192 Main St.) blazing fiercely. The alann was rung and the firemen were soon on the scene, but as the building was frame and very dry, it was half consumed before water was turned on. They succeeded in confining the blaze to the storehouse, in spite of a wind and the very large number of frame buildings very close to the shed, which was practically deslroyed with ils contents. Mr. Willntott was in the rear roont of his shop facing the storehouse, and the ftre gained headway so rapidly that the whole building seented blazing when he ftrst noticed it. The rear of Jas. Hollinrake's building was only about six feet from the blazing building and before the firenten arrived they had caught fire tn several places, but Mr. Bowes. of the Bollinrake firnt. kept the fire in check with water from a convenient barrel. in spite of the great heat. The build- ing svas owned by John Riach, of Harmlton. and is a complete loss. Mr. Willmont losi about $100 worth of stock, including a barrel of gasoline and one of coal oul. That these did not explode is strange. lnstead the fluids rant out on the floor and bumned ont there. The cause of the fire is a mystery.
