The Boston firemen worn out had in many cases been dismissed and it fell to our boys and firemen' from other cities to fight this fresh out- break. The Norwich boys were given a point of honor on Washington street and poured water into the fire keep- ing it from jumping across the street. Most of the boys came home Mon- day night the engines following on a later train.

At Randall square and North Main streets, the time was 12.25 and at this point a large crowd had gathered to watch the contest. Brown passed at 1230 1-2. From that point to the city hall Brown continued to gain on Hartley. The crowd thought that the leader was Brown, who was walking second, but who was ahead of any previous record he.had made, The two walked through Exchange place and at the finish Hartley led Brown by about 80 yards. Brown's time was 38 1-2 minutes which was six minutes ahead of his old record, but one minute behind Hartley's time. Both men were received by Mayor Gainer and Govern- or San Souci and they all had their pic- tures taken. Brown -says that he did mot know that Hartley was racing him and that is the reason that the latter got such a lead. He wishes to challenge Hartley to.walk any distance the latter may wish and that the match will take place on the machines that Brown uses for long distance walking, Hartley was formerly employed at the coast guard station at Watch Hill.
