 This mornings Republican says: iThe Phenix fire department held a meeting last night to discuss the challenge sent from the fire depart ment at Prescott. The challenge is to test the relative merits of . hose team from both cities. There was one thing in the way of the accept ance and that was the lack of funds. The boys want to go and show the Prescott laddies what they can do. A committee comprising Chief Good man, W. A. Davis and Aaron Gold berg were appointed to canvass the city for subscriptions for the pur- pose. They think that the city coun- cil should do something toward swelling the fund. It will take fully $500 to send the hose team to Pres colt, as they wlll have to be there several days before the tournament to practice and become familiar with the ground. After Q committee was appointed to recommend the hose team, the meeting adjourned.
 The Republican, speaking of the bicycle races say: Prescott will hold three days bicycle meet in July. The new half mile track that has just been completed will De put in fine condition and it is expected that a few records will be broken. Among the PheniX wheelmen who will race are Kibby, Long, Kelly and Warren; also the tandem team, Brown and Loring. The boys will leave about June % for Prescott"
