REEL RACES.
While the playing contests were going
on the reel races began. These were
spirited and interesting.
The first team out in the reel race was
the H. & G. of Bath. Charles Parks was
captain, and had - men. They We're
came down the stretch like wild horses.
1t was 81 ga seconds from the time the
pistol was fired until they had water
through their nozzle.
The Senator Hale Hose Co. of Els
worth, feet young fellows in blue sweat
ers and white trunks, with Ray Goodwin
as captain, and 81 men in all, came down
the stretch with terrific burst of speed,
amid the cheers of the spectators. Their
time was so seconds.
White sweaters and crimson trunks
were the uniform in which the Brunswick
boys came on to the stretch. They are
the Niagara company, stout fellows; ap-
parently not so supple as their Ellsworth
competitors They needed to have strength,
for their reel is a great heavy one, as COM
pared with the light wheeled, pneumatic
tired reel of the Ellsworth company.
But there was no time record for this
contest, as the man at the hydrant, in too
much hurry to turn on the water, did not
get the hose screwed on. Az the rush of
water the hose fell off. The Brunswick
boys got no second trial. T. H. Clifford
is their captain.
The second Ellsworth team, the Dirigo,
was also a fine body of young men, IS
in all, under Second Foreman Charles
Sinclair. They made pretty run and
splendid connection, making the winning
time of 46 1-5 seconds They knew they
had won as soon as the water appeared,
and with loud cheers took their leader on
their shoulders. The prize for them was
500.

Schame of the Coyote.

Prairie wolves are very clever animals,
and the way in which they catch the
antelope is only a single example of their
successful ways of doing things. The
antelope are much swifter runners than
the coyotes. but when chased they de-
scribe a circle of large radius instead of
making a bee line for safety. To this
fact the coyotes owe their success. While
one wolf of the party starts the chase.
