This gave boil, prizes to st. Thomas and
the enthusiastic boys Of that company
walked off the grounds carrying both Of
their victors OH the top of their ladder.

After leliberating about eight hours
the judges decided that the Wahpcton
Company beat st. Thomas by one tcntl,
of Il second.
Another event on the same day re-
suited for which the companies entered,
were:
The Relief, st. Thomas; Hook and
Ladder No. !, Of Grand Forks; the MlaZ-
eppa, of Wahpeton and the Iicscucs, of
Fargo. The Mazcppas won first money,
time, &:4-5 seconds, the Relief, second
money, time, 81 seconds and the Rcscncs

The result of the above races is iha,
st. Thomas brings home one first and
three second prizes. The latter being
SO close that two ut least. were equiva-
lent to first us far as real ability is con-
cerncd. As we figure, this entities them
