THE RONALD FIRE ENGINE,
A Successful Test.
The Hants Journal, Windsor, N, S., of
April 1201, says :—On Monday between
one and two o'olock the new fire engine
was token out to be tested, lathe presence
of a large gathering of the citizens.
First, it was stationed ab the end of
Metiers. Bennett Smith c& Sons' wharf,
and when all was ready the torch was
applied to the kindlinge of small pieces
of pine and hardwood, Acadia oil being
used for firing. Ab 6 min. 15 eeo. the
steam gunge showed 7 bbs., at 6:30 10
lbs., at 5:50 15 lbs., and at 6:30 26 lbs„
when the engine commenced to pump,
and blew the whistle, Shortly after two
sbreams were throwing salt water from
the Avon river, but owing to a table
mishap at the hydrant which supplied
fresh water to the boiler, a atop was made
to attach hose to another hydrant, As
soon as steam was up again the eugiue
commenced to throw a large i.1 inch
stream through two lines of 600 fent hose
Siameeed into one branch, Bending a fine
stream over the four storey Dufferin
Hotel, and al times over the top of the
flag staff surmounting ft. There was
quite a breeze prevailing. The measured
distance of this game ehream thrown
horizontally was 180 feet. The require.
meats of the underwriters are 150 foeb to
ooneti1ute a standard engine and in order
to get the very best insurance rates. Two
streams were then put on ed011 Due inch
nozzles and through 500 feet of hose for
each stream, these streams reach approxi -
mutely nearly as far as the one stream
both horizontally and perpendioularly or
nearly go. As the tide was thou well ant,
a stop wan made, Oho engine was taken be
the hydrant, corner of Gerrish and Gray
Streets, and throw oimiliar streams on
King street up the hill, fully as well as
at the river. Later on the engine was
taken to Avoubou, the highest point of
land in Windsor, at the top of the heck
steep r100, where similiar good work was
done. At that point the engine was
placed in the hands of Lewis Redden,
who handled it quite readily, and to the
observer with almost the dill of en ex-
perieneed hand—though this was Ilia first
attempt bo run a steam fire engine. He
had no trouble in keeping from 100 to 110
lbs, of steam right along steadily. The
engine certainly did good work. Of
course it es hard to snit everybody, and
there were some who expected to see this
eugino do as good work as others of mach
larger oapi,aeity, which is of emerge ten.

Ohief of the Halifax biro Dept., en en•
ginner of one Of t110 steam fife engiues in

Commission, three experts, who were here

the request of the Town Connell ; they
said to the editor who was present, theft
