ELLSWORTH. Me. June 81, 1911.
To L. H. C,shman. Fireman Dirigo Engine
Company, Of Kiiswoyihi
In behalf OF my venerable self and coll
leagues" hereby accept your challenge for q
plsy-oai Of pirixo and Zimmerman engines In
Ellsworth on the Fourth Of July next.
We are not so venerable" as TO have for
gotten the numerous beatinss Old Zimmerman
has given Dirigo In the past; we have not, as
our iuyeniie-frieud-of-iimit ed- memory Cush-
man apparently has, forgotten Calais, and
Brewer. aud Bangor. and Ellsworth, and
many other places. We are not so venerable
as not to believe in our ability to ..eome
back.
We aeeep; the challenge with the following
conditions;
First, u there are enough working parts left
OF Old Zimmerman, not already appropriated
by yea TO patch up Dirigo.
Second, in view Of experience at Bangor. we
insist that Dirixo's Judge Of stream shall not
wear nat that holds water. thereby fictitious
ly, unfairly and with malice aforethought in
creasing the distance played.
Third, measurements shall be made by tape,
and not according to Dirigo's Bangor PLAN,
with iou,-foot iath.
We extend this challenge to include Capt.
.,.A l. 4
Falls, so that the superiority OF Zimmerman
over the button tubs can be settled for all
time We are all so venerable that In q few
years none Of us can 'come back, and this
seems an opportune time to decide the time
worn question.
Yours, the old man,
MicHAxL J. DRuMAEY.
