THE FIBE BRIGADE BALL, A reminder is given of the Plain an d Fancy Dress Ball in aid of the Fire Brigade to be held on Thursday. The Brigade is one of those institutions that is worthy of everybody’s support. The members of the Brigade place their services freely and ungrndingly at the disposal of the public for the saving of life and property and the least the public can do ip return is to see that no -lack of funds hampers the exertions or curtails the exertions of so patriotic a body. We hope the Hall will be well filled by a appreciative public on Thursday,
