Last Tuesday afternoon the fire
company made test of their speed
in getting to a fire. A moment
after the alarm sounded the engine
went by with the horses in a
sweeping gallop. They were three
and half minutes going from
their quarters to the Northeast
corner of the square, distance of
three blocks, putting the engine in
position, running out 200 feet of
hose, and turning a stream of water
on the imaginary fire, which they
extinguished in short order.
