caused a somewhat general excitement amongst
our fremen. Although no alarm was sounded
several companies turned out, but only one or
two succeeded in reaching the fire. The pro-
perty destroyed was the extensive and valuable
sheds attached to the Point Breeze Park. These
sheds extended along the Penrose avenue side
of the Park for a long distance, and were used
for the stabling of the private teams belonging
to members of the Point Breeze Trotting Asso-
citation. Being built entirely of wood they
burned like so much kindling wood, all efforts
to save them being unavailing. The loss is not
at present known. but will be heavy.
