tained by the Vigilante No. 3 of the
Augusta Department. The contests
were tho beet that haTe teen in Angusta

Five visiting companies were present:
The MACon boys; Mechanics, of Atlanta;
Anchor Hook and Ladder, of Greensboro,
S. C.; B. E. Lee, ot Atlanta, and Young
America, ot Charleston. In the reel con
tests tbe excitement waa very great. No.

the pipe connections at the water plus.

orated with wreathe, evergreen and mag
nolias.
The ran is described as follows :
The coarse was now decidedly new as
Macon's Young America entered the lists.
Tne Young America polled finely over
the first part of the oourae, bnt slacked
np as they approached tbe plug, seeming
to consider it the end of the dueh. They
pulled np, however, in 31 seoondB, bub
railed to get the butt on <n time, acd the
water splashed on the piDgman, blowing
away the hose. Plucky enough, how
ever, they persisted in tbeir connections,
determined not to give np, acd made the
stream in 1 minnte and 3 j seconds.
The Bichmond and Washington of Au
gusta, tied on the first ran, ran over
twice, the fir.t time each failing to get
water, but the next time the reeult went
ia favor of the Bicbmonds. The following

PaiNBI uf Belshazzar.
On Taeaday night, the opening ot the
opera Beiahaizar, the facnl:y and stn-
dents of Pio Nono College attended.
They unanimously voted the perform
ance highly oreditable in every particu
lar and a gratifying evidence of the ex
cellent musical talent in the city.
Quite a number of visitors were pres
ent from other places, and last night we
notioed a still larger number of visitors
from several neighboring towns. By to
night the increased array attending the
splendid rendition of the popular and bril
liant opera will resemble a gala evening
daring one of oar college commencement
exercises.
We have met with many of the strang
ers who witnessed tbe performance of
Belshazzar on our boards, and it is due
to the accomplished ladies and gentle
men who hav9 devoted ao much of their
time and talents to the handsome enter-
.ainment, as well aa onr pleasure, to re
cord that the visitors have, withont a
single exception, expressed their highest
admiration over its entire rendition. To
night there will be a large delegation
from along the lines of tbe Atlanta and
the Southwestern railroads to attend the
third and last performance ot the opera.
