For the Drill Contest.

Preparations are now in progress for
the drill contest between the Rouss Hook
and Ladder Company, of Winchester and
the United Drill Company, of Frederick,
which is attracting considerable interest
of the firemen throughout this section.
The contest will take place in this city
sometime in September. Ample time will
be given the rival teams TO practice for
the contest which will settle the dispute
now going on between them. The dis
pute grew out of the Fourth Of July pa
rade. The Winchester company had
some misunderstanding as to the require
ments in the drill contest in the parade
and for this reason they claim they did
not get the prize. which was awarded to
the Frederick company.
The dispute is attracting such interest
that large crowds from Frederick, Win
chester and fremen from nearby towns
will be att acted here to see the contest
The day will be set apart as gala day IN
the city A neat pure will be raised as
prize for the winning company and each
company will make supreme effort TO
win it and carry off the disputed honors,
The Rouss Hook and Ladder Company,
of Winchester, met in special sessi n for
the purpose of taking some official action
on the letter received from the secretary
of the Martinsburg Fire Department in
which was incloSed a letter from the
United Drill Company, of Frederick.
The Winchester News-Item says;
Captain Henry Schneider was ap-
pointed by the company to take charge of
the rules, etc, and a committee, consist.
ing of Messrs. John Crisman, J. M. Long,
]. M. Orndorff. Harry Keckley and John
Miller, was appointed to confer with the
company.
The Frederick Company's letter stated
that they would accept the challenge Of
the Rouss Company provided the rules
and regulations of the challen gers were
reasonable. They also stated that in a
contest they once entered they were com
PEELED to take oath before a magistrate
that all participants in the drill had been
members of the company for twelve
months, and that they would require the
same of the Rouss Company This would
almost debar the latter company from en-
tering, as very few members who went to
Martinsburg have been members for. that
length of time. But the Rouss Company
being the challengers they will have the
privilege OF fixing the rules, and If the
Frederick Company refuses to enter the
contest without the above requirement,
they will merely be showing the white flag
in polite manner.

Another Run Away.

Shortly after o'clock this morn
ing while Bethel street mauka of
King street was crowded with car
riages and pedestrians, two mules
attached to heavy lumber wagon
came tearing along without driver
from the direction of Nuuanu
stream. At the corner OF Bethel
street the mules swerved towards
Hotel street and caused stampede
among the hacks on the stand at the
corner.
The horse in hack 142 was struck
squarely in the chest by the heavy
pole of the dray, deep and serious
cash being inflicted. Drivers of
other carriages tried to get out of
the way. Captain Spillner stopped
the runaway mules, and a gentleman
rushing out from the Waverley
block grapped the reins Of hack
horse running away, aud in spite of
being thrown down held on to the
reins and stopped the frantic animal
in it's mad career. I'VE hope that
the brave man, whose name we
regret not to know was not injured.
Had the hack horse continued on it's
run great damage would probably
have been done.
The driver OF the dray was arrest
ed. He claims that his mules got
scared while passing the pile driver
near Nuuanu stream, that he lost
control of them and was thrown of
| the vehicle.
