cord.
Last year the Eclipse Steam Engine
Company of Goldsboro established a
worlds record 80 Is second which this
year was clipped off l % seconds by the
Goldsboro Fire Company No. /, at the
tournament at Durham n c., where they
made the wonderful record of 80 As Sec
onds, thereby establishing new worlds
record.
The race is composed of two main ele-
ments, the speed of the horse and the
quickness and agility of buttmeh-the ores
who makes connection at the hydrant.
In the Durham race, the grey horse of
the Goldsboro Fire Company No. 1, who
weighs 1875 pounds, ran the distance of
200 yards from a flying start to the hy-
drant in II seconds, at the rate of mile
In 2:05 minutes, remarkable speed to
attain with load of 1900 pounds, al
though hose wagon was ball bearing axle,
rubber tired wheels, and of the most i'm

ton at the hydrant was made in 1 As
seconds and Is seconds was covered in the
passage of water through the required
length of hose, a distance of 2SS feet.
Like all great accomplishments, this
record was no accident or chance, but the
result OF six weeks of hard training and

History records no exhibition of ath,

six years of close competition with a
rival home company.
The effect of training on both hose and
men can be easily seen from the following
statement
In a years time the speed of a new
horse was reduced seconds, from II to
IA seconds; proportionate reduction in
time was also made in the CELEBRITY of the
jumper and connections. As important as
such Il record may be, the greatest bene-
fits of the race comes from the fact that
it is so much akin to actual fire service
that the whole local fire department of
Goldsboro has felt its effects and influ-
ence and today the fire department of
Goldsboro stands out pre-eminent.

boro Fire Company No. l will enter the
next tournament looking for the missing
second and trying still further to annihi-

done remains a matter of conjecture
