It will be a great Help to tha game of cricket. This day. Fixe. A fire 'broke out at six o'clock last night in a gasfitter's shop in High street.' It started in ihe upper storey, but the Brigade were very smart, and with the aid of a hand engine put out the flames before they did much damage. The building was a very old one, in the centre of other buildingst and was insured for £200 in the National. The principal damage caused was by breakage and removal of goods from the shops next door. ~
