The fire king exhibition on the public triangle last Friday evening did not result as satisfactorily as had been anticipated. The structure which had been put up for the occasion was demolished during the afternoon by one of the trustees who objected to the proceedings, but permit had been obtained from both the mayor and fire marshal and consequently the exhibition was held. The structure built for the occasion was supposed to represent the corner of a building, should have been a tight wall, but the demolishing exhibition spoiled it, and after it had been saturated with kerosene and the match was applied, the flames shot right through to the opposite side. The fire king, however, proved a death blow to the blaze wherever it was thrown, but not being able to cover such a large surface. After four tubes of the fire extinguisher had been used up, it was allowed to burn to the ground.

All are experienced and able instructors and with their services our school promises to be one of the next in the county.
The Junior ball team went to Waukegan Tuesday and crossed bats with the Crescents.

We hope to see the two teams meet again at some future time.
