A Charming Young Lady Here.

It's a pop call we know, but Miss
Spring, of 1900, is now visiting u.s..
She's not dressed in robes of green and
decked with flowers as is her custom
when she means to make a long visit,
but her smiles as bright and her temper
as smooth and her presence as pleasing
as one could ask. You'll soon go away,
we know, but that makes us appreciate
you all the more while you are with us,
and to long for your return. Come when
you like and stay as long as you please;
you're always welcome, gentle Spring.

THE FIRE ENGINES.
Portland steanne rs Won Both the Con-
tests.

The steam fire engine contests were
held in Deering Oaks on the land adjoin-

Tt seemed at times as though the larger
number of spectators were watching with
a more eager interest the contest OF the
hand tubs, but by this it should not he
inferred that the steam engines were
without their admirers. as the crow d
seemed to hang close by, and frequently
as an engine would make a squirt that
looked like a record breaker, q volIey of
lusty cheers went up from the crowd.
There was one thing noticeable all
through the contests, and that was the
perfect harmony that prevailed through
the different contests, ana the perfect
satisfaction rendered by the several ollie
ials having the events in charge. The
officials certainly labored to make the
affair success, and their efforts were
duly appreciated by one and ALL
1t was about ! clock before the en-
gines got in readiness for the tray Tt
was a rule of the contests that the en-
gines should be hauled onto a platform,
in the centre of which was hole, through
which connection was made with the
hydrant service and the engine.
BY the rules Of the contest, each engine
was allowed Is minutes from the time
that they hauled ON to this platform,
connected up and had made as many
plays as they desired, in the direction of
securing a record. 1t was also rule of
the contest that no engine should carry
over 100 pounds of steam when under
way.
In addition to this it was required that
additions or deductions should be made
from the greatest distance played. that is,
if the end of the 200 feet of hose came
short of given mark on the Judges
stand from where the play was made,
this difference in feet and inches should
be added to the total length played. On
the other hand ii the end of the hose
went oven the given line, the difference
should be taken oG from the total dis
tance played. The contest started in I'M
