THE RONALD FIRE ENGINE
WINS FRESH LAURELS.
The Nanimo, B. C., Free Press, of
Out. 13th, speaking of the new Ronald
steamer brought by Mr. Ronald to that
plaoe from Brussels, aaye :—
Another test of the Ronald Engine
took place at the New Vancouver Coal
Oompaoy's reservoir on the Esplanade
yesterday which in some ways was more
satisfactory than any previous teat.
Steam was not raised so quickly Re on
the occasion of the first trial, Mr. Ron-
ald claiming that the kindling was nut as
dry ae it should be. The engine was
started 9} minutes after smoke appeared,
the gauge at that time indicating 70
pou,tde of steam.
The first given the engine one the
throwing of a le inch stream from is
single nozzle, the water being carried
throueh a double line of hose 500 feet in
length, and to be thrown 200 feet from
the nozzle. The engine eatiefaotorily
performed this feat, reaching the mark a
few minutes after starting and for some
time a good stream of water was falling
at a point 268 feet dietnob from the noz•
zle, At pee time the water fell 252 feet
from the end of the nozzle.
The second test wee not so satisfactory.
This was the throwing of ttvo streams of
water from one inch nozzle and the die.
Canoe to be reached was 180 feet. The
water several bimee reached a point 160
feet from the nozzle and a etrong stream
was thrown 140 feet, while the test last.
ed.
It wee said that grave and vegetation
in the tank was responsible for the
failure of the engine to accomplish the
etiot on this test. The vegetation gather-
ed around the screen of the feed pipe trod
kept the water from being takenup fast
enough.
In the capacity teat the engine took up
and delivered 550 gallons of water easily
for ten mioutee, then the weeds sad grass
got in their work again and the water
mould not be taken up fast enough.
The teats yesterday were made with e
five foot lift of water, the engine standing
about eight fent nearer the tank than ou
Monday.
The same paper, dated Oot. 14, gives
further particulars as follows :—
After many teats the fire engine will
now be given a little rest and the City
Oounoii will have their innings, At six
o'olook this morning the firemen were
out and making preparation for the final
teat, and the members of the Oompany,
who thought the trial would be a abort
one, and that they would eat breakfast
when they returned, bade splendid apps.
tile for lunobeon.
The engine was fleet taken to the Mill.
stream bridge where the twenty-four feet
lift was to be made. When they arrived
there the tide wag at its lowest stage and
when the engine was ready to start it was
two inches more than twenty five feet
from the engine to the surface of the
water. Mr. Ronald appeared to have
confidence in the lifting capacity of hie
engine and gave the word to go ahead.
The torah was applied and seventy-five
pounds of steam was raised in seven
minutes and ten seconds. The engine
started and the water was lifted fourteen
Mabee more than the required eontraot
dietanae, the feat being accomplished
without the aid of a okeek valve. A
stream was thrown 140 feet through a
1 5/15 inch nozzle.
The engine was then takeu to the Ores.
Dent, two linea of hose measuring 500
feet each was laid and the engine started
to throw the water through two oue•inah
nozzles a distance of from 160 to 180 feet.
The engi0e wee to do thie stint with a
