Mt-Bride,accompanied by two firemen ran out of the line and the exile mounting the shoulders of his com- panions, cut. down the banner. Just as the English flag fluttered and fell in the mud, a brass band following the hose company struck up “The Star Spangled Banner," and intense enthusiasm followed. The flag had no sooner struck the ground than a match was applied to it. and it was burned.
