Ever since the condemnation of the Old Nameaus steam fire engine, and For some years before, there has been agitation for the purchase of an addi- tional apparatus of this kind for the general efficiency of the department, but the matter has been passed down from one council to another without any favorable action. The argument is raised that if two steamers were re- quired thirty or forty years ago, at least that number is needed for emer- gencieS in greater New London. The Niagara. steamer is not 8, very new fire fighting apparatus, but it is in excel lent condition, and on several occa- sions has proved it's worth. It is a large and powerful engine, with power to send water with great force through four or more lines of hose and to keep in operation for a very long period of time
 This fire engine was built by a re- liable firm and has done even more than was guaranteed by the builders. Under plans recently adopted in the department this steamer responds to nearly all calls. although for years the steamer was only subject to re- Spond to a general alarm, and the re- sult was that the steamer was greatly missed in sections where the pressure Df water is So weak that it is of little use for fire purposes when taken through a hydrsnt direct to line of nose dependent on the natural pres sure. It is understood that if the new pteaner is purchased, and it will be if The city meeting adopts the recom- p1endatien of an appropriation of $6,- 300 for the purpose, it will be located in the northwest section, which win then be well protected in the event of fires. There is need for a steamer on the northwest and another in the Pe- qu0t section, or near thereto, where the pressure at the T1ydrants is not ample for efficient service.

Speaking of fire apparatus reminds that Col. Eugene r. Kirkland, foreman of the Independent Hose company, so-

that Col. Eugene [. Kirkland, forens an of the Independent Hose company, so- called, in the Psquot colony, is de- sirous of adding g. modern chemical and hose wagon to the equipment in that section, and had planned to get the sum required for the purchase among his friends in the Pequot col ony, the male portion nearly to a man having some kind of a membership ir. that organization. But there has been change in that plan and the court of common council has made recommen- dation of appropriation of S1,000 to aid in the purchase of the apparatus. There is nc doubt but a modern ap- paratus in the Pequot section would add to the efficiency of the fire protec- ton, but it is a question whether the city should enter into a partnership in ghp ownership of the new fire fighting machine. The city should own the whole or none of it.

please everyone in the audience re
gardless OF what they like. They
change almost all their acts tonight
and do many things that make you
laugh and make you feel that you
have seen an entertainment out OF
the ordinary and that you got value
received for the small admission you
paid. Especially is the soldier act
pleasing--so much SO last night that
many encores were received by them.
The Chinese and Irish Fiddling
is very funny and will make the very
grouchiest OF people smile. This in
strument that Mr.. Seymour plays has
less strings than most instruments,
there being only one on the entire in
strument, but he makes the music out
OF this just the same.
Four reels Of pretty films, each 1000
feet in length, will be shown as usu-
al and the orchestra will render some
splendid pieces that are bound to
please all music lovers.
