Drying HOSE.
A Much Needed Want Supplied.

The committee on fire department, with
Chief Cloyes, met at 3 80 D. m. yesterday at
the drying house for hose, on South street, to
inspect the apparatus for cleaning aud driving
the hose. Under the old system, after the
hose was washed, it was hoisted up in the
tower and the heat of three stoves was brought
to bear on it. In cold weather three or four
weeks was required to dry it, and even then it
was frequently not as dry as it should have
been when it was put on the reel of the hose
carriage. 1t must be borne in mind that hose
receives its greatest injury when it is not prop
erly dried.
By the new arrangement exhibited yester-
day the hose is dried by steam in ten hours.
The water is heated in four minutes, when
formerly as many hours were required. A
thiriy-inch horizontal tubular boiler is EN-.
ployed In the washing-trough two perforated
steam pipes have been placed, which heat the
water. In the tower, about twelve feet above
the base, are six gold-pin indirect radiators ca
pable OF heating six hundred superficial feet,
with fifteen pounds of steam, in two hours
time. The thermometer can be made to regis
ter as high as 1899, which is 300 higher than
needed.
The committee we're very much pleased. and
all thought the new arrangement would not
only dry the hose quicker, but save more than
the cost of the apparatus in three years. time.
They also thought it would cost less to run the
boiler than the stoves. Quinn & Co. furnished
tia boiler, and Smith & Abbott the piping

OLD ORCHARDS 3, WooDFoRDs 2.
One of the most exciting polo games ever contest
ed in the Old Orchard rink was that of last evening
At the sound of the whistle for the first rush Orr of
the Woodfords was half way to the ball. Hitting
it a tremendous whack he sent it through the Old
Orchards goal in the twinkling of an eye. For
few moments every on quiet with astonish-
ment, and then the audience awoke to the fact that
the WOodfords had scored goal, and broke forth
IN applause. The second rush was also secured by
Orr, and likewise the second goal. This time after
hard fought contest of nine minutes though, the
Old Orchards began to wake up a little now, and
scored goal by Whitney in one minute. The next
contest lasted four minutes, and ended with goal
for the Old Orchards, scored by Churchill. Now the
boys went in for all they were worth, being even.
Orr lead with rush. but Churchill closed The game
with goal for the Old Orchards in two minutes
Orr of the Woodfords led every time on the rush.
The Woodfords played splendid game every man
being in his place, while the Old Orchards played
very loose and careless game until the last inning,
when they played as if they meant business.
