cal engine was given a thorough test
yesterday afternoon week. the result of
which was satisfactory in the extreme;
in fact, the expectations OF the mem

realized.

jackson street, between Second and
Third, half a square from the engine
house. and after it had been filled with
barrels and boxes and other conbusti-
bile material and everything had been
saturated with oil. the torch was ap-
piled. Tho side next to jackson
street bad been allowed to remain open

and the spectators might have an OPP
portunity to SEQ all that took place.
John Callahan, representative of
the Holloway CO. of Baltimore, the
builders OF tine engine. instructed the
members in the use Of the apparatus
and made the first onslaught on the fire.
The whole structure and contents blazed
up almost instantaneously after it had
been set on fire and immediately the
stream was turned on. In less than 60
seconds the last vestige Of flame bad
disappeared, and not until another
match was applied did it reappear.
Tho operation was performed several
times. and each time was equally efTec-
tive.
The members we're satisfied that they
had as complete piece Of machinery
as could be desired, and Immediately
addressed letter TO City Council an
nouncing that they bad come to that
conclusion. and that the mes engine
was ready for service.
