▲ PARADE and Inspection of the Govern ment Fire Brigade was held this afternoon, when everything was found to be in good working order. The engines were placed with a view of trying how far water could be thrown up the hill from the sea. The large steam engine was stationed on the Fraya, and fed the small steam-engine opposite the "Star Hotel," which in its turn threw two streams of water; one, sarried through two hand-engines, reached nearly to Baxter House, and the other was carried up West Street.
