Alphi juniors of Bi lo*^man wire then-fore declared winners^and Butte juveniles second.
Thei-huinpieur.ii.p hose raee, :i-j0 yards,^for a rurse oi (.(.a, Tli per cent, lo winner^and 30 per et lit. to the second, excited^Kreat interest. To the winners of this^race J. W.

Aill^eii:g re ady, a pistol was llred and^the Butte team II -w with lemarkable^apeed over lie- course of WJU feet before a^hydrant was reached. The coupling was^made in splendid nine, but the men who^held the hosu had t-^ wait (or the water^about live seconds. K.om the piatul shut^till the water shot from the nwz.e it was^ji-t !^'.* 4 5 seconds. Anaconda's repre-^aeutatirea MM next ai.d made their^run and couplings in J ist exactly^the same limu as the Butte team, (.'^ 4 f.^seconds. Anaconda, too, wailed about^live seconds for water to reach the hob*^lie. Tho two visiting teams wen- now^tie, though no aiiliouucciiietii was made^of die time in either caaa until Bis-man^h el her inning. I he MM from the (iiieen^City of Uallatin made a splendid run and^would undoubtedly have won the race^but for an MMfMMM accident which^occurred in III ^ coupling of the hydrant.^When the plugmaii touched tho ttiread to^screw oil the hydrant, the man who was^helping was a second too quirk ill open^^ing the l.ydraut, ami a ureut stream of^water shot oi.t with terrific force, driving^the hose from tliu bauds of the plugmaii.^The water II. o le 11he strict.

They look the shouts of^Butte und Anaconda b iys all in good part^and saal they would have liked to have^won but as ll.ey didn't they wouldn't^kick. SMbS body in the crowd startetl tho^report that B. z -matt had put up a job to^MM the MMV ill the hyurani, while^the 1 title and Anaconda ti-uim wire^C'.uphng, and had full force when Dos.-^man reached the hydrant. 'Ihii^^illy rumor was not credited by^any v.silt r who had an atom^o sense, but it was a great h. justice to^tic llremen and cits'tis of i ami-man,^who throughout the intire tournament^acted in a most com te ius and generous^manner toward the viaitore.
AsAn.ii or i!. anil tulle were a tie they^had to run it oil'. It was nearly u o'clock^and ad were anxious to get througti. The^captains of tho But o and Aunronda^teams i omened and decided to compro^^mise, as it was laic and tile men of both^teams were very tirod. It was^t -erelnro that the Anaconda h y ^, who^had already won a big share of tne hon^^ors would allow the Hint^ team to be^given the championship, uud the pura -^would be . veiny divined. The lot on^IVMJMM Bid was also to he given loth^Auucenda team, though, of course, too^jjdges in making their award, gave ttie^lot and championship and lirst money to^tie llult^ team, as the judges had noth^^ing to do with the compromise matter.^Ill order lo comply with the ruliv, lioih^tenuis ran over the course in regular^form, but in slow t ine. Ilut.e was then^di dared the winner.
