TB "P1oHERn."- This beautiful new engine
again ''played," in Meeting-street, before large
admiring crowd OF spectators, on Saturday morn
ing. She made two hundred and fifteen feet. It
is due to, the builders (dessrs. CLAP JoNEs} to
say, that they have labored under great disad7an-
tages in getting this engine ready. One of the
sine qua non conditions Of the contract was that
she must be here in time for the Anniversary; and
there had, in consequence, not been eu cient time
to try her properly in New York, before her de-
parture. She is all right now, however, and under
favorable conditions will throw from two hundred
and thirty to two hundred and forty feet. 5.t'
They have thrown streams Of two hundred and
fortyfour feet in New York, with engines one size
smaller than the "sPioneer,nS but there the watsr
was fresh, and supplied by ahydrant. Until ,our
