 Showers were frequent on the clos ing day of the Kingston fair and in consequence there were iulls in the festivities, but the rain did not inter- fere materially with the annual mus ter of the Rhode Island Veteran Fire mems association as water is among their most valued allies. The muster was of the real fashioned type, the red-shirted fire laddies drawing the old-time hand engines. Before the reel racing and squirting contests there was a parade and the prize cup went to the Providence association for being the best-looking organization in line. There were three entries in the hose reel contest but the Phenix company did not como to the scratch and the contest was between the Fisk vile and the Pocassett teams, the for mer winning in 41 seconds the Po- cassetts' time was Al 34 seconds.
