z The annual muster or the Rhode Is
land State Firemen's league, held at
lesson that will prove advantageous in
future like events. The small number
OF machines entered was not from any
lack of interest, but rather from the
shortuess of time to make arrange
ments as the sanction of the state
league was given but a few days be-
fore the date of the opening OF the
fair. The squirting contest was OF spe-
cial interest from the fact that plug
nozzles were barred for the first time
in many years. This in a marked de-
gree was responsible for the small
plays made, 176 feet-1 Ia inches cap
turing the first prize. while the average
for. the field was only 160 feet. 4'7-S
inches. It is evident that II the Rhode
Island tubs expect TO compete success
fully with out-of-state musters they
must practice with the plugs" and IL
they do not they will be hopelessly
handicapped.
There is a probability that the an
nual state league muster of 1916 may
be held in Westerly. and II positive
announcement is made early in the
season. there will be a large number
the New England State Firemen's
league will be held in Providence in
August, 1916, and perhaps all hand
engine companies in the state viii ar
range to compete, so that dates of
other musters must be fixed early in
order to have many contestants.
