the first prize, $399 in cash, This same team,
with the reception of four men, are still in the

any other team in Canada.-• They have com-
peted in races in Mt. Clemens, Mich. Toronto,
Galt, Listowel, Sarnia, Kincardine, and numer-
ous other places, and have only came back
once without a prize, that once being a few
months ago when they went to the Brockville
Tournament. In the International Race there
they made the best run,,but lost on the coup-

"ringers" takiog any hand in their races, as
is too often done by fire companies. They are
all well-developed and muscular young men,
and temperate in their habits.
