Fast Day in WaterviIIe.

Fast day was observed here as a
mi-holiday with general suspension
of business at noon and sports in the
afternoon. All the stores were open in
the morning, but all except the drug
stores and those of a character that
cannot well be closed were shut at
noon to allow the clerks a few hours
to themselves. The principal attraction
for the afternoon was the ball game on
the college field, and there was a
matinee at the City Opera house, the
piece being "The Burglar" This was
also presented in the evening.
The fire department was out for
practice during the afternoon and this
work was interesting to watch. The
only religious service was held by the
Christian Scientists in the G. A. r.
hall in the afternoon, the subject of
this being Love" 1t was the regular
prayer meeting evening for several of
the churches and these meetings were
held as usual. The banks We're closed
all through the day and the usual holi-
day hours observed at the post office.
A few of the mills were closed for the
day, the larger ones running about as
usual.

FIRE ladies AT PLAY.
Department Has Afternoon of Practice,
Followed by Fine Supper.

The fire department was given some
excellent practice, Thursday afternoon.
There were no contests between the
companies, but the men We're given
some good hard work to familiariZe
them with the apparatus and some ex-
cellent time was made. Everything
went as smoothly as could be desired
as there were no bungles and no blum
ders. The showing made was very
satisfactory indeed and shows that the
department and apparatus is in first
class condition.
Hose was the first to go out, leav-
ing the house in regulation style and
laying hose from the hydrant in front
of the Peavy clothing store. A Cali
han double gate was used and the time
of the first water was minutes and
80 seconds, while the streams were
completed in three minutes. With two
streams working water was thrown
120 feet. A third line was laid to the
same hydrant and water was obtained
through this in four minutes, that is.
four minutes from the time of leaving
the house.
The steamer was then taken out and
put through her PAGES, the Calihan,
SihSit otlCcillio, GU, pclllS uSeu. ne
machine worked very satisfactorily and
did excellent work all through the
trial.
The Hose 1 team then left the house,
laid two streams to the hydrant in front
of Whitcomb & Cannon's grocery store,
making eight joints in the two lines,
and got water in l minute and SO sec
onds.
The Hook and Ladder Company then
took little practice in handling the
ladders, raising the big extension. No
time was taken for this, but it was a
credible performance.
Four men from Hose then manned
the Hose l team with Assistant Chief
Berry and laid one line from the Whit
comb & Cannon hydrant, getting water
in 1 minute and 10 seconds. AS this
work was done simply for practice
there was no great spur for making
record breaking time, although when
ever time was taken it was all right.
1t was great practice for the men and
they enjoyed it. The work was done
in the heart of the business section
where there is usually the greatest need
of speed and it's value will doubtless
be apparent at the next fire.
When the work was completed and
the apparatus returned to the houses
and put in readiness for an alarm. the
men gathered at the Hose house on
Silver street where a fine supper was
served. There We're go plates. Mayor
Davis and the fire department COM
mittee being the guests of the evening.
Mr. Davis made a "corking'' little
speech after the supper. Every one
was well pleased with the afternoon
and evening and more of the same kind
will probably be enjoyed whenever
there is an opportunity.

of the store in which the headquarters
are located and as he walked along the
floor which is boarded over he broke
through the boards and went down.
His legs and body passed through. He
luckily drew himself out and later tried
to estimate the depth of the hole into
which he fell, but failed to do so with
an eight foot pole. The location of the
hole was unknown to him and his es-
cape was very timely and lucky as
he was alone in the cellar and if he had
slipped way through the hole might
not have been able to be heard in a cali
for assistance. A wrench of a shoulder
and a general shaking up are the only
disastrous effects of his experience.

That Gardeners old time ball players
have not forgotten their knowledge of

to play it was demonstrated in their
game with the High school nine which
was played on Quimby field, Fast day
afternoon. From the first of the game
they might safely be picked as the
victors and their winning of the game
was by clean playing and good team
work. For a team that has had as
little team practice as they, it did re-
markedly well and made a game. that
was interesting. The High school boys
showed their team to be one that will
