An effort is being made to have the brakes manned by | Westerly fremen in the next contest in which the old-time fire engine is enter | ed, as it is the only way to obtain the | best results. The Westerly contingent was short-handed at the Bristol mus ter, and in the main the brakes were | manned by volunteers from other con- I testing companies.
 It is said the volunteers loafed on the pumping job and were more of a detri-
 ment than a benefit ;that they weight ed'' the machine, and that the real
 workers were lifting dead weight with
 every stroke.
