That the services of the brigade are recognised by the people of Thames was quite evident by the presence of a large number of citizens. The °a Qroa Fire Brigade sent a contingent of bngadesmen to the function Deputy-Superintendent Pratt, who presided, welcomed the gathering, and said it was gratifying to the brigade to know that the public appreciated the work the brigade was doing During the evening the secretary. Mi. P. <_,. Jenkins, stated that shortly the brigade would make a call on the public for the purpose of raising funds for a new motor-reel.

W. Johnson, J. Hardman, C. Gilbert, H. A. Thomson, J. M. Tredaway, J. Davidson, W. Thompson, and J. Kerby.
