EAST PROVIDENCE.

The firemen of East Providence to all
outward appearances are as happy AZ
ever. but each has good reason why
the first and second prizes were not
captured at South Weymouth yester-
day, but as near as can be learned,
there were only about 30 men TO man
the brakes, and this was the cause OF
their defeat. The 35 men form the two
companies, and this made II harder for
them. The Watchemoket was the first
To be given IA trial, and when the crowd
saw the handful of men that was work
ing her, dozen or more strong men.
out of sympathy, stepped from the
crowd and began to break her down.
Then Capt. Mullen began to shout, and
looking at the end of the hose saw
Mick" Arnold being thrown around
like an indian club i'm the hands of an
athlete The extra force on the brakes
developed more power than Mr.. Arnold
could control at the pipe end so the
pipe began 10 sway, but he held ON in
a gritty manner and was given much
credit for SO doing, for had he lost his
grip on the pipe he might have been
killed and others would have been m
iured; as IL was. everybody for long
distance from him got ducking. The
companies did not expect To win when
they landed on the field, for they saw
that some OF their best men were not on
hand. and this was due To the fact that
the men had been to too many musters
this season, and their employers did not
care TO have them absent any more this
season. Everybody that went report
that they had n good time.
The indications are now that by MO-
