TIE FIRExrN had lively time OF it on Thursday
night We yesterday mentioned that they had three
runs within about four hours, the previous night <
the nearest thing to fire being the burning Of red
10 tne upper story Of Faivres piano store on Royal
street. That was not by any means the last Of their
nights work. M
At midnight, another bed was burnt, in room
over Nolan's coeehouss, At the corner Of Chsrtres
and Seserson streets. That was ali the damage,
though 1t gave some Of the remen another fateuipe
run. The occupant Of the bed, Michael Walsh, was
arrested at Nolan's request, suspicion Of having
fired the bed, but it afterwards appearing that he
was innocent, Nolan Withdrew the charge and be
was set at liberty.
Before the iremen had well got home, ON their re.
turn from Nosn'a, q fifth alarm was given and this
was for fire In earnest The fire broke out at shout
o'clock, in onestory tenement occupied by Il. D.
Keen, on Washington street near Rousseau. It and
two adjoining tenements, all belonging to Mr.. Pnrvis
the one-stofy brick drugstore and residence of Mr.
WolkeiH, at the corner Of Rousseau, two Of them
just bulk, and empty; and two other frame tene.
ments, one Of them twostory, fell before the flames
ere the fremen, with their water in homeopathic
quantities, were able to hem them in. The cutters
and cisterns being speedily sucked dry, the remen
had to form line with their engines to the river,
two squares distant and pass water along to the fire
in that manner.
The loss by the burning Of the nine houses is est
mated at from $4,000 to SIS 900. Of which about
SIC 900 falls on the insurance companies.
ANOTHER FIRE broke out, between and o'clock
last night, in the old chosen headquarters of the re
god, the Arcade buildings It started in the second
story of that section Of the old buildings which front
hofuu tbo bo<o1
building, and Natchez street over Kendgs auction
Office, Abats notaral office, and Jerollemans barber
shop.
The second story, where it started, was wareroom
filled with the furniture and bedding Of the late Ar
cade Hotel How the fire started, we were unable to
ascertain. The damage to the building fortunately,
was not very great not over $1,000 or $500 how
much furniture was damaged or destroyed we had no
means Of ascertaining.
The fremen were on the ground with promptness
deserving Of all praise, and acted with their usual
hearty good will and absence of fear When the first
water was thrown, the flames were belching in
volumes from the windows, and threatened the de.
struction of that whole end of the block.
THE DELAcHAIsE GROUND, yesterday afternoon.
was all life again. The Crescent City and Pelican
Cricket Clubs were there, playing their return
match; the Louisiana Base Ball Club were there,
practicing Les Quatres Club were there practicing
the outskirts OF sae common were filled with crowds
of youth and boys practicing at different ball games
great crowd of spectators was scattered around
bright galaxy of ladies beautfed the tents of the
Cricket Clubs; and all was life, merriment, and ex-
citement.
The contest between the two Cricket Clubs was
contested to the extreme of ability both Sides
and at the same time in spirit of amity and genteel
behavior which reflected high credit on both sides.
The longer practice Of the senior Club told greatly in
their favor, and they beat the junior Club badly.
