The Gay Road Cart.

The road cart has got to be an absolute necessi-
Ity to all whose business compels long rides over
country roads whose condition frequently
makes passage even with a light buggy impos-
sible. 1t is also necessity to every city man
who owns a horse in wet weather and likes to see
his buggy looking decently.
Road carts are numerous and have been i'm
proved greatly since the first one appeared. But
none that we have seen can be compared with
the "Gay Road Cart" made IN this city by Gay &
Son, either for beauty or ease Of riding. The
running gear and shafts are symmetrical, strong
and durable, while the seat is hung on a long
steel scroll spring, which while strong and sub.
stantial gives an easy motion. 1t has also a
cushion with box underneath and liberal clos.
ed frame for the feet The whole cart is strong,
beautiful and, what is worth more, comfortable.
The cart must be very popular, and orders for
them are coming in rapidly though really the
cart has been on the market but a few days. Ev-
cry horse owner should look at this cart.
In addition to this new success, the firm keep
on hand at all times land manufacture to order)
q large stock Of carriages, buggies, &c, OF all
styles, and their famous Tmkins Side Bars Of
their own manufacture, which they offer at re.
duced rates. These will be found first class
goods in everywsy, and they ask all to call on
them to see their goods and get prices.

$1,000. Looney, of course, kicked because it

The latest scheme is paid fire department.
The Times says it is IAN advanced position"
The originators OF the scheme insist that for $500
more than the present appropriation (s3570) that
is s407O, paid department Of eight men can be
had, who OF course will do better work than the
present department. 1t is admitted the present
department is equal to the best volunteer depart
ment in the state. 1t has % men exclusive OF
officers and paid men. Al what newspapers call
q first-class fire, like that OF the other night,
there are none 100 many. Can eight men handle
the hose filled by two engines IS on last Wednes-
day morning: 1t is physical impossibility for
them to man the pipes. TO say nothing OF other
work; and more men means more apparatus and
more money; sleeping apparatus, gas, and such
like. For the money Ottawa spends she gets
most excellent service-as good as the town
needs; as good as she'd get for twice the money.
Fires are not numerous In Ottawa. From Sept
"a. 1881, to July 5, 1882, there was hardly need
of any department at all. Are paid men to have
any more opportunities for practice than volun-
teers? We would not for the world question the
integrity OF any man interested In the perfection
OF paid fire department; but all towns like Of
taws, with as few fires as we have, must beware
oil the temptations offered paid body OF men
with nothing TO do, so fearfully exemplfed in
the case Of CoIdwater, Mich. We hope the fire
department committee will give us an exhaustive
report on the subject. The names on the peti.
ton are SO strong that anything less than an ex-
haustive report will be an impertinence. Both
sides Of the question must be stated fully.

were couple OF inciplent bazes in the morning
as at J. f. Porter's cornice and at the Reddick
block, neither Of which amounted to anything
Along about four o'clock on Wednesday morning,
however, a genuine alarm was struck, fire
having been discovered by young man going
home from the ball at Willls's in the building
covering the east or older furnace OF the Ottawa
Glass Co.'S window glass factory. The depart
ment responded In the promptest manner, and
soon had streams from two steamers on the
blaze. The walls OF the building were OF brick,
but wood.lined and tar roof making hard fire
to fight But the department tackled 1t In the
most energetic manner and kept the fire within
bounds, SAYING all the out buildings, the west
furnace, pot rooms, sc. The work is thus com.
plimented by the company:
The Ottawa Glass Company desire to return its
earnest thanks to the fremen and citizens OF OF
ia va for their extraordinary zeal and efficiency
in eYtinguishing the fire which occurred In its
factory this morning. The fire department In its
promptitude and deliberate action showed itself
equal to any in the largest cities and was handled
with q Judgment and discretion which showed
the superior qualification of It's officers.

mace was cold, the season for work having closed
