No. ForR.-Yesterday afternoon Engine
Company No. 4, Of Virginia, brought their
machine out for practice. She took water
from the cistern in front of the Virginia
Hotel, on B street, and the first trial was
made through three hundred feet of hose, and
throwing one stream through an inch anda
quarter nozzle. We are not very excellent
Judge of such matters, and as there was no
lofty object near for the boys to play upon,
we can only say that very hne stream was
thrown, and to a good hight. One hundred
and ffty feet of the hose was then uncoupled
and attached to the engine, when some very
fine throwing was done with two streams,
through one hundred and fifty feet of hose.
We observed that practice for some time in
vogue in San Francisco had been adopted
here, for, mounted on a conspicuous part OF
the engine, was the fox'S tail, standing chal.
lence for trial of speed. The rule is that
any engine passing the one having the tan
are entitled to it until they in turn are passed,
when it lis cheerfully given up to the victor, to
be striren for again. We expect to see some
tall running to the fires hereafter.

Virgiaia heretofore, have ehangedto blue and
purple for the last two mornings.
