WITH THE POOLISTS.
It Was a Great Race During the Last
 Few Days.

Few Days.
 Hartford, Springfield and Bridge port had a nip and tuck race for the pools during the week with Hartford nosing out in front at the last mo- ment of play. Had Springfield done anything at all like she did in her first game with Hartford on Satur- day her admirers would be cashing in to-day. As it was everybody was awaiting the result of that final game, which finally showed Hartford winner under the wire by lead of one run. Bridgeport came close to putting Springfield out of the second running, but just managed to tie with the Massachusetts city. It was one of the best and closest races in the pools so far this season. The fol- lowing are the results of the pools, including all Sunday games played, in the three leagues.

usual practice has been to raise
the money secretly by large dona-

HOOK and LADDER
For the Fallon Fire Department
Arrived in Freight Yards
Wednesday.

The balance of the equipment
for the Fallon Fire Department,
consisting of a hook and ladder
truck and about seventy-fve
buckets, together with hooks,
pixies and axes, arrived in Fallon
on Wednesdays train. Those
who have inspected the outfit
pronounce it frst-class. The
name "Fallon" is neatly painted
on the running gear of the truck.
This equipment cost $3.50 f. o.
b. the factory, and with the
freight charges, which amount to
$l29, brings the total cost to $579.
There being but about 5000 in
the treasury, it is intended to
raise the remainder by popular
subscription. and J. M. Smitten
and A. K. Jeffrey. the committee
appointed to raise the necessary
funds for fire purposes, will again
call on the merchants and citi-
zens. 1t is to be hoped that they
will respond literally, as it will
be necessary to raise the amount
within three days in order to save
demurrage charges by the rail.
road. The committee has already
begun soliciting, and |. H. Kent,
with his customary liberality, put
his name down for fifty dollars.
This makes the third time that
he has signed for that same
amount to inaugurate fire protec-

Sign up, and let's see the boys
at work with the hook and ladder.
