About midnight on Sunday many inhabitants of the town living in the vicinity of the Midland Railway station and in the Litchnreh district were disturbed by the sounding of a "bull." In the stillness of the night the noise woke many people up, and it was intensified by the fact that it lasted for a good five minutes.

Some of the people went out? into the streets to see what was the matter, and the rumour quickly gained currency that the bull of the Locomotive Department of the Midland Railway had been accidentally blown. Like many rumours this, turned out to lie incorrect, and upon inquiry (Monday) morning one of our representatives ascertained that there had been of fireat Messrs. Bern rose and Sons' printing works, Midland-place. As everybody in the town knows, the business of which Sir Henry llemroso is the head is of a extensive character, nnd their printing'works, offices, cover a rery large area. They are magnificent buildings, and the arrapgemcuts for giving an alarm in ease of fire are of the latest and most I Not only are fire alarnj boxes liberally distributed about, lint by a wonderful arrangement, if the temperature'in any department gets above a certaindegree the alarm is given automaticallv.

The call to fire at these works is the sounding large "boll" or upon anyone pressing the button in one of the boxes or one of the roomsgsttingexcessively hot the "bull" is at onco. set going by electricity. Tho mechanism is of a very delicate nature, r.nd the bqll" will not cease sounding until it is stctpped by one of the officials. At seven minutes past midnight-on Sunday nightthe bull" went off, bnt upon examining the premises tho night watchman (Mr. Ford) fortunately found that there was no fire or sign of fire whatever.

The officials are at a loss to understand' what caused the "boll" to (pp 'off, but no doubt it was through some of tho electric wires accidentally coming in contact. Tho false alarm, however, had one excellent effect, for it showed tjiat everything was in working order. Within incredibly short of time the firm's fire engine was manned, and a number ofpolicemen were on tfeo sceoe, whilst the Borough Fire Brigade were telephoned to hold themselves in readiness. The horses were immediately harnessed, and were roady to turn out at a moment's notice. However, after it had been ascertained that there was no fire, a second telephonic message was sent saying that their services would not be required.

For the victors Maskrey, Methven, Morris, and Hall were magnif cent, the work of all four being most praiseworthy. In the forward line Paton, Bloomer, and Davis were tho pick, but their shooing was not of the 3est, that being their chief weakness. Richards' goal was a fairly easy one; Warren drove in hard, Williamson threw himself full length at tho ball, and failing to properly clear, Richards ran in and scoiod. NOTTS. COUNTY v.
