The Thirty Fights were out in full
force last night for practice with their
engine and Babcock truck. The en-
gine was stationed at the corner Of
Main and Commercial streets, with
the suction attached to fire hydrant,
and the hose extending down Main
street to the Southern end Of Temple
Block. The ladders Of the truck were
spliced and run up to the top Of Tenn
pie Block with very good expedition,
proving of sufficient strength and
light enough for quick handling. The
! portable Babcock extinguishersl were
also tried on q bonfire Of dry-goods

of excitement, wetting down the
streets and themselves and gallantly
putting out the bonfire, went home
