The Democrats OF Eureka last night
fred 100 gun in honor Of the over
whelming victory OF the Liberals in
North Carolina. Bon fires blazed bril-
liantly in the vicinity Of the flagstaff and
the saloons and other places OF resort
seemed crowded with enthusiastic
Greeley men. Dan Morgan officiated
as general manager of the jollifcation.
so far as the salute was concerned.
Agreeable to announcement the
match game between the Hamilton and
Eureka base ball clubs took place on
Sunday afternoon. The game lasted
four hours and fifteen minutes and was
won by the Hamilton club. Several
hundred spectators witnessed the con-
test, which was spirited throughout. In
the beginning and until the game was
two-thirds over the odds were largely in
favor Of the Eureka club. and it is quite
certain that II our boys had been in
practice they would have come off vic.
t~orious. Most Of them had not PLAYED q
game for years, and in point Of muscle
some Of them we're sadly deficient. while
the Hamiltonians played the full string
without manifesting any fatigue what
ever. 1t was evident that the Hamil-
ton boys were in first rate trim. German
and Stowell of the Eureka club we're
scarcely able to move q step when the
game was finished. In all fairness 1t
must be said, however, that during the
early part of the match the Eureka boys
played in extraordinary big luck. Quite
a sur changed hands on the result.
In Tuesdays SENTINEL we published
an account of q disturbance in Mrs.
Goulett's house ON CLARK street. On the
authority Of an officer we stated that
Mrs. Goulett was in her cups at the time
of the difficulty. The lady has since
called to inform us that she is not in the
habit Of getting in her cups, and she was
only excited on the occasion referred to.
She also states "a fact which we now
remember) that she has not been d.

request of Mrs. Goulett, We make the
above correction.
The Eureka Fire Department was out
in full force last evening, the occasion
being the housing of the new hose car
rage of Rescue Hose Company. Both
companies appeared in full uniform, and
headed by the Eureka Brass Band, pro-
ceeded to march through most of the
principal streets. The Hooks, as is
customary on such occasions. were as
signed the honor of leading the van
with the new carriage from the freight
depot to the Hose House. Arriving
there, wine, lager beer, and other drink
ables flowed freely, and toasts and .
general good time ruled the hour.
When this part of the exercises had been
concluded, both companies, each draw
fng its own apparatus, led by the band.
made the tour Of Main and Buel streets.
In passing, the SENTINEL Office was
honored with cheers. for which we re-
turn thanks. Taken altogether, We have
never seen a finer body of men anywhere
than those comprising the Eureka Fire
Department. The uniform of each COM
pany must at once be acknowledged neat
and handsome, the blue shirts and white
hats of the Rescues forming q pleasing
contrast with the Hooks bright red shirts
and black hats. During the parade all
eyes were turned on the new hose carri-
age, which was tsstefully and deliberately
decorated. Competent judges say il is
one or the finest carriages ever brought
to the mountains. and we are certain that
a more beautiful apparatus could not
