I Too in uch praise cannot be given I to the men for the splendid man | ner iu which they all pet formed t heir respective part a. When it is, remembered that our team bM'nev- | er had the benelit <>f being trained t? v an expert fireman, had not prac-j ticed together for more than thtee j weeks, in fact, sonic of the men never having seen a contest of this nature before, their success is sim ply wonderful. In this contest the running *vhm lowered one-firth of a second below any record previously made In the South, the honor of breaking the record being due to the Palmetto No. 2, of Columbia. The following were the entries : l)elg:ir No. 3, of Sumter, S. C. ; Charlotte No. 1 ; Palmetto No. 2, of Columbia; fioidsboro No. 1, Goldshoro ; Aslie ville No. 1, Asheville : Hose Com pany No. 1, Camden, S.

The Southside of Greensboro, had fifth position, but failed to enter. v To de'eat such tenuis as these composed of experienced and veter an fireman, up to every poiitf, >n the content, certainly entitles our team to high rank among the Uosetom I panies of tho counti \ . It would t>e unfair to attempt to give extra credit to any one man, Hi, admirably did all contribute to our success. We cannot conclude this short account of the contest without re ference to our faithful driver -'Rab bit." When we are rwjoicing over (?ur victory we should not forget the trained eye and hand t.iat guid ed the charging horses to victory. It was said by all present that the i streets of Charlotte never exhibited a more exciting and skillfut feat of driving than that displayed' by our own? '?Rabbit." He. owned the land before ii* leu, and it i? quite certain that no persuasion on earth could avail to-day to get him to ex change places with Gov. McSwec nev. , . The boys should) continue then I practice aud the time will socn cou.e wiieu luey ean mac tbe lead in an}' contest. The winners were: The Palmetto No. '2, of Columbia, iu 38 1-5, ($175); with Hsse Company No. l,of Caitfden seoond, in i-5, (?75.) The other teams made the following time : Independent No. 1, of Columbia, in 13; Asheville No. 1. in 43 1-5; Pioneers No. 2, of Charlotte, IS 4-5. Delgar No. 3, of Sumter, Charlotte No. 1, and Goldsboro No. 1 were blown off at plug and madp po time.
