Further proof was forthcoming from the members of the local, St. Andrew's Society for it was not likely they were. going to let pass the occasion without some recognition, and. they ‘accordingly ‘arranged that a concert should be held in the City. Hall. A good ‘programme, which with one exceptjon, con- tained all those points of interest conducive to a pleasing entertainment was prepared, and a large company assembled in the Hall shortlybe- A fore nine o'clock, Among those, present as the | guests of the President of the Society, the Hon, T.*H, Whitehead,‘ were H, E., Major-General ‘Sir W.

FIREMEN'S NARROW ESCAPE: ONE INJURED. - Shortly after ‘ten o'clock last evening ‘the ringing of the fire bells ‘in, Queen’s Road led crowds of people to assembled outside. of the” Fire Station where asteam’ engine was puffing thick jets of red sparks into the air, No one seemed to know. where the fire had broken out -and at length it became apparent that the alarm was false. Scarcely had the firemen.got home when the bells’ again sounded notifying ‘that ‘an outbreak had occurred in No, 3 District. And this time there was no ‘doubt about ° it ‘for a lurid glow — lit Up the sky C. 57: was quickly atthe scene of. the fire, which he found had occurred at No,'142, Second street and, though | the flames were leaping from the wipdows, he.” ascended to the upper storeys of the house, and with great difficutly got the ‘inhabitants out into the street? The flames spread rapidly finding pléfify of fuel i in the rattans with which” the premises were stored, and as, there was a good stiff breeze blowing the next house was soon burning brightly, The fire brigade turned up with commendable promptitude, but owning to many lengths of hnse having to be used -in getting water from the Harbour it was some ' time before they were able to throw any water, on the burning buildings, About an hour and *. a half after the outbreak the fire at No, 142 had , been got under the firemen were quickly on tho top floors directing water on the flames in the .. next House.
