In the second half, when the green-snvelltered St. Culumban boys launched a terrific offensive against the local goal, Riley saved on three shots that had goal labeled all over them. His play all through the game was sensational, Lewis Russell banged hone two of the local goals on passes from Baker and Dave Miller, respectively, and playing manager Harry Bowler scored the other one on. a neat pees from "Dice" Baker, Jack Hol- land and big Frank Williams play- ed stellar football for the visitors. St. Coitumban dominated the play during the first five minutes of the game and Frank Stapleton and Joe McIver missed nice scoring chances after working the ball in close to the Brussels net. Joe Mc- Iver, christening a anew pair of shoes, missed a minute of two later when he kicked the ball across the face of the goal after being in the clear, and Riley made a great save on Frank Williams' shot from close M. The Brussels boys soon got into stride and play eveued up consid- edably, with Lewis Russell hoofiing home the first goal of the game on a lovely pass from "Dice" Baker.

Shaw, dean of Huroti County 11011rtll mien and 01ln10u's ace story -teller, has to look hack a good Malty years to the time 1)0 Wtts ole of of ,Brussels voluntary fire b gide and he has to let his 111(10)17 travel farther back ,still to recall the devastating confla- gration that ahn'ost destroyed the village silty years ago. Dr, Shaw t,'as a boy then, lust 15, but recollectons of that fire in the 70's, which destroyed scores of stores, dwellings and ,hotels, are stall stein d deeply to his memory. The village had to bo virtually rebuilt as a result of the confla- gration, the worst in Brussels history. "The fire broke out around 10 oVock one summer• night in Toni English's paint and carriage shop," Dr. Shaw recalled, "What started it no one ever lear'neti• but pre- sumably it was spontaneous coo-. bastion, The paint shop was mid- way up the block on a side street and in no time at all the whole business. district was in flames. The fire spread rapidly to the Maio street and then swept north as far as the bridge, destroying every- thing in its path on both sides of tote street, Without Protection "At that time Brussels was with- out fire protectionof any kind, ex- cept buckets, and efforts to check the raging flames were virtually futile, '11he lire • burned all that night and through most of the following clay before it was under control, It was a terrible night, one that no one who went through it will ever forget, Men struggled valiantly with buckets and axes to check the flames, but their heroic fight was to little avail, Among the many stores and buildings burned were four hotels along the 11101 11 street. As fur as I urn meal no one was seriously injured, btu many suffered minor injuries and the property loss was allOr loos, Peo- ple didn't have insurance in those days like e they have today." It was not long after this des- stractive conflagration that Brus- sels took steps to obtain proper fire protection and a Ronald pumping engine was purchased in Ohatharn. It was through the purchase of this engine, the first the village ever had, that negotiations. were opened to bring the Ronald Engine Com- pany to Brussels, Give $20,000 Bonus J, D. Ronald, head of the cotn- pa.ny, was given a $20,000 bonus by the village to cone to Brussels Crew Chatham, and in 1879 a foun- dry was bullt and production of the once -famous Ronald engines began in the village. "The Ronald Company was the 1)173es.t of its kind' in Canada ad approximately 05 men were em- Ployed In the foundry at Brussels;' Dr, Shaw stated, "The village was really booming 111 those days and the population exceeded 1,500 00111- pared to about 900 today. The com- ing of the waterworks in. towns and villages' and cities throughout the country, however, eventually spelled finis for the pumping en- gines and production at the foundry fell off baldly as time went on Sonne of those old 11011514 e.ugines ate still in use today, though, in entailer places where there are no hydrants," A Memorable Day DI'.

Peter Scott was chief of the Brussels -- brigade at the time and Dt', Shaw revealed an amazing memory by naming for this reporter the 16 men nvho made sup the Brussels' team that day 52 years age, They were Archie Scott, Ed, Sullivan Jim Wor:ail, Walter Scott, Andy Currie, George Carrie, Jim Ross Dave Ross, W. M. Sinclair, Alex Strachan, A, M. Kay, Jimmy Jones, Fred Hillery, Bill Lawson, Gideon' Petrie and Dr, Show. 'The different teams iu the race that day drew their positions and We Wete the first to run. We had to run 200 yards, attach the hose to a hydrant, lay lee yards of hose, and then attach the nozzle and throw a stream of water at a board 15 feet away, We matte wirer we thought was a remarkably fast try, but when the judges came along they found the nozzle had been tattled of !twice instead e3 the regulation two anti a halt times, We were promptly elimiated, bat just as promptly we lodged a pro- test that that was as far as the nozzle would turn. Sure enough the judges investigated and a rub- ber washer had prevented the noz- zle being turned the two and a halt times. The washer was re- mmoved and the ;ace went ahead. That night aux protest was tupheicl and we were told we could race again the following morning, They Wore White Tights "rhe late F, C. Rogers, reeve of Brussels that year -had accotn- paied us to London for the tour- nament. The regulations called for all teams to race in their working clothes, the same as they would wear at a fire, but all the other teams were wearing tights'. So that we would have just as good a chance as the other fellows, Reeve R offers said he was going to buy tights for us. He war a drygoods merchant and that night he went down to a wholesale house in Lon- don and par ciiaeed white tiglt:s for all of us, I'll tell you we were a sight to behold. The tights cov- ered us' right from the neck to the ankles and they had long, close - fitting sleeves. Some of our fel- lows were big chaps weighing 000 pounds or More and nye were a great looping hunch 1n those white tights, "1'o out a long story short, we raced again the next morning and won the Canadian event, Of the 10 men who were members of the teems that day, I believe that Jim and Dave Ross of Brussels are the only tato living besides myself, Cer- tainly they are the only 11vo in this district. Archie Scott was probably the fastest runner we had on the team, but Gideon Petrie was also very fast. They were both profes- s onal rofes-sional all-round athletes and later toured all over Canada and the United States, "On our arrival home frons Lou- don that night on the 9 o'clock train there was a big crowd to meet as at the station and :the band led a torchlight Procession mp town.
