Uiring an up-to-date fire engine, they galloped through the streets of tho West End, starting at the top of Kingswny, and proceeding along Holborn, Oxford Street, and adjacent thoroughfares. Miss Douglas Smith acted as driver,, and she and her sis companions on the engine were attired in firemen's regulation uniform, with the exception of a sliirt. Tho engine was decorated in tho purple, innte, and green colours of tho union, ihe appearance of the turnout, the galloping of tho horses, and tho loud report of the gong provided tlio wollplanncd deception, ;md the policemen on street duty instinctively held up tho traffic to allow the vehicle to pass.
