 NEW FIRE HORSES.-Quite a num-
 ber of people are attracted to the en- zine house every evening to see the practice drill of the new horses on the
 chemical apparatus. The practice with | the big bell is necessary to acquaint the new team with the noise and con- fusion that occurs in getting out. They are willing to go, and in that lies the necessity for training, as they are too willing. They want 10 be the first out whether they are fully hitched up or not, and the lesson sought to be in culcated is that they must not go till ] they are told by the driver, no matter 1 if the other teams are both gons. For | that reason after the bell rings they are harnessed slowly while the other teams are getting out. and when all is | ready they arz released. Without this | training the horses would bs danger ous to the apparatus and the drivers, i for ga soon as another leam goes they | would stat whether the driver was | in his seat or not. One of the horses IS | still quite nervous and cannot under stand why he is restrained when there ! Is work to do.
