= hirty-Three Companies

{ R6Dr6S6nt6
THE largest Firemen's State TOurna-
ment ever held in Ohio. The attend
ance from all parts of the State was Iarg-
er than even the most sanguine of our
citizens anticipated, and the general
good order throughout the day, was re-
marked by every one.
The companies commenced arriving
on the previous day and the Reception
Committee were kept busy throughout
Wednesday night and Thursday morn
ing in finding quarters for the fresh ar
rivals.
All were well pleased with the treat
ment they received at the hands of our
citizens, with the exception of the Eagle
Hose from GAINESVILLE, whose COM
plants we copy from the Columbus Jour
nal, and which will be found under an
other heading, and the imposition claim
ed to have been EractiseG upon firemen
assigned to the keeping of the landlord
of the Weaver House, which we copy
from the Akron Beacon.
As we were busy a greater part of the
day as member of one of the Commit
tees, we were unable to devote our time
to nOte-taking, but thanks to Mr.. Ever
EFT, whose report was published in the
Akron Beacon, we were materially aid
ed in getting much useful information
concerning the order of procession, num-
Der of members to each Company &c.
