Tbe last events of tbe tournament proved to be among tbe moat interesting oa tbe programme. Early this morning a large crowd wended its way to Rowan street, and each team received its full quota of cheering. Ia the hundred and fifty yard hand reel race for North Carolina aad South Carolina, the Florence team carried off the boaora tn tbe closest contest of tbe series. Durham came in second by one-tenth of a second, with Sumter third. Time as follows: Florence, 8S seconds; Darhsm, 83 8 6 seconds: Sumter, 8Jf seconds. Great enthusiasm prevailed in this race and the close time demonstrates bow well matched the teams were and bow htrd fought the battle was.

Coief McNeill has been tbe recipient ol congratulations on all sides for tbe handsome manner in which Fayetteville has entertained her guests, and the suc cessful tournament. Soutb Carolina entering this tourna ment inaugurates a new era for the fire men, which will prove very interesting n tbe tournaments to come. Cbief McNeill is to be congratulated on having our friends from the sister Carolina with us this year. This has been by far tbe most enthusiastic tour nament ever held, and the firemea are loud io tbeir praises of the people of Fayetteville for tbe roval good time that Las been given them. Tbe Fay etteville people seem to have taken for their motto, "Nothing too good for tbe firemen." Tne Wilmington bovs bave been "in the swim." so to speak, and a life-long friendship has sprung up between tbe Winston and Wilmington Hook and Ladder boyt. and it is to be hoped they wiil meet on the track each year here alter.
