Volunteer Fire company. No. !, repeated
her feat OF over ten years ago and won
the first prize at muster on Exchange
place. The playout was over 200 feet
through :O feet OF hose and on the pre-
vious occasion. which was the company's
first muster. the machine made a record
Of 210 feet through 800 feet OF hose The
engine has played greater distance on
number OF occasions since but these dis
tanoes were sufficient 10 enable them to
win over all the other competitors on the
two occasions mentioned.
The day was a SPLENDID one for mus
ter although the place was rather
warm location because OF the lack OF
shade. and the engines played from a
large metal tank on rollers near the col
diers monument. in the direction OF the
Burnside monument. About $50 feet from
the place where the engines were located
there was low building and an alley.
These let IN a very bad eros wind which
struck the streams OF water just where
they would commence to strike the paper
and In many instances they were blown
into very fine spray that did not count
for a record.
The Fire King SENDS very heavy vol
ume OF water and IT was this fact that
did much TO allow II to win yesterday.
The Arlington engine is a letter and
while she was playing n pun of wind
took one OF the jets and sent il down TO
the mark OF POI feet 9A inches giving
them the second prize.
The Natick engine broke one OF the
iron bars which caused a man to fall
against Fritz McKeiser and injure his
right leg very badly. II was at first
thought that the limb was broken and
the rnaii was carried 10 the Dorrance
hotter and later removed TO the Rhode
Island hospital. where 1t was seen that
the Injury was only a severe strain. There
was an accident 10 the Bristol engine

Fortunately the balloon cleared the

On emerging from the woods into the

10 shout to laborers in a certain field, who
succeeded On winding the drag rope about

The basket settled in among some
