Another largely attended mass meeting was held Thursday night with an. interesting program. Votes of thanks were passed to the members of Leaknow Union for their hospitality, and to the Odd Fellows for the use of their hall. 'TORONTO'S FIRE ENGINES. The following taken from the Toronto Globe of Friday and Saturday will be of interest to Brusselites :—The test of the fire engines Thursday afternoon of last. week, on the Esplanade, between Yonge and Bay streets, was an„ eminently satis- factory one, and wee so aoconnted by those present whose knowledge in this matter gives value to their opinions. The test was of the Merryweather engine, but the 7, B. Boustead, recently' reno- vated, and the Ronald were also on the spot and took part. The Merryweather. is under contract to the city to perform the following testa under the supervision of the expert committee composed of John Peneom, Geo. 0. Robb and John P. Northey, with City Engineer Heating and Chief Graham associated :— Pump 1,200.gallons (American) per minute ; throw water to a height of 200 feet through a 113.16 inoh nozzle ; raise a steam pressure of 100 pounds inside of ten minutes. These tests are in accord- ance with a resolution passed by the Firs and Light Committee and communicated to the agents, tor Messrs. Merryweather on May 3, 1895. The net weight of the engine (whioh means stripped of suction hose and without coal, water, stn.) is about 6,500 pounds. The guarantee of the manufacturers was a net weight o£ 5,160 pounds. The excess, therefore, is little and is caused chiefly by the Arahi- bald patent wheels the city insisted upon laving subsequent to giving the contract. These wheels are very much heavier than Merryweather's standard wheels. The test was set for 2 o'clock, and at that hour there must have been between 8,500 and 4,000 citizens on the spot,' the majority of whom remained until nearly 6 o'clock. All. MaMurriab, Chairman of the Fire and Light Committee, took charge of affairs until the engines got steam up, when he handed the managee, ment of the test over to Chief Graham, It was discovered just before orders were given to coal up that bbe Ronald engine Was not the one bought by the city, though identical in every respect. The J. 33. Boustead got down to business feet, raising a steam pressure of 100 pounde in about nine minutes ; the Merryweather and the Ronald were. about 9a minutes. The first beet was with 100 feet of hose and l,4 inch nozzles, and in this the en- gines were about equally good, In the second test the Ronald did not enter, some small matter doing wrong with some part of her maobmery. The noz• zles used were two inch 0005, and the Merryweather threw a stream about 50 feet further than the Boustead. A good exhibition of the working of the new water tower was then given, =oh to the satisfaction of the onlookers. Teets were then made with 500 feet of hose and with 1?-, li and .1.. inch nozzles, and all of them proved highly setisfaotory. The 3. B, Boustead engine proved to possess the best throwing powers of the three. The 142erryweather throws a large, powerful stream, but it shows a tendency to spatter shortly after leaving the `nozzle. No effort was made to gauge the height to which the engines could throw, but in other respects the required oonditione were fulfilled. 5Tntor diem ENO= TESTS. Sia,—Xu yesterday's iesn° yon spy "the Ronald engine did not enter the second test, because of some alight derangement ,of her machinery." As this is not the case, it is apt to make a wrong impres- sion. It was a test of a two-inch nozzle, which we did not provide because not asked to do so. The inoh;, and three- quarter nozzle was the main one, and it was easily seen our stream was superior to the Merryweather. We asked that all teeto should be made with not less than 500 feet of hoe°, as' we did before, object- ing'to the baby work of only 100 feet, and. if awls had been accorded our streams' would have proved still snore favorable. We Meted our second engine because the Bret had already been tested, to the high- est satisfaction, and we wished to prove our second was equally as good—as both wore specially built for Toronto—and if we have to tape it back home from this great Conservative city to allow a foreign - or to sell an artiste that proves to be 2,. 000 dearer and no better, not so good, it 13RUSSEL,S, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, AI,JG UST c'0, 189 VV H KE RR, is 0 wrong bo Canadian in Instry, Mer- ryweather contract weight is 6,160 pounds ; it now provoa to be 8,275 ponnde per Sim000 *pet weigh *aloe, Why is the Conservative press covering up and glooeing osier this and: other tette kept from the public' 7 The nozelee we nee DOW are ilio same onee thee were need before, and exactly the kind the experts snood for.

We will gladly aooept snob a national competition test for eupremaoy. We will ask no allowance for their 1,400 pounds extra weightovet ours, and that only practical mechanics shall be the judges. Jong D. RONALD. QUEBEC. To the Baiter of Tan Poser, Doan Sm,—'Quebec may well be called the "ancient” capital—for with the ex- ception of some new buildings lately erected, or in progress of erection, such as the Frontenao Hotel and the new City Hall, everything bears the appearance of antiquity. What is palled the "Lower Town" is nearly on a level with the mighty 51. Lawrence, whose clear, blue waters rush rapidly along through the somewhat narrow gorge separating Point Levis on the South from Quebec on the North. To ascend into the upper and principal part of the oity one has to climb. numerous .flights of iron stairs, vary fatiguing to strangers, or else by a speedy short out to take the elevator leading up the vast precipice, on whioh stands the Frontenao Hotel, overlooking the lower town, the river, and Point Levis opposite. This for a return bioket poste only five cents, When once on the top of the plateau, you have a commanding view not only of the city but also of the stir. rounding country for miles. From this lofty elevation you survey the several depots or stations of the Grand Trunk, Canadian Pacific, and Interoolonial Railways ; also the beautiful island of Orleans, in the mouth of the harbor, but which extends 21 miles in length East- ward, and consists of six parishes, each the station of a French olapel and a resident priest. You also from the same point obtain a clear view of Beauport, a fertile territory of highly oultivated land, thickly settled by a farming community. To the East of that and only seven miles from the city you see the femora Mont- morenci Falls, said to be from 50 to 60 feet higher than the Falls of Niagara,tbat not nearly, so capacious or wide. There are so many objects of interest to a stranger, and so many old historic as. sociations connected with the ancient capital of Canada, that it would require a lengthy letter to deiscribe them all. Suffice to say that Dufferin terrane, the citadel, the plains of Abraham, on which was fought the great battle that gave Britain possession of Canada from the hands of the Frenoh, the Martell() tower, he Basilica or R. 0. cathedral, the Eng- 'sh cathedral, Laval Univereity, &o., are 11 worthy of inspection and interest. Nothing is more refreshing to a tourist in "doing the oity" than to seat oneself or an hour in one of those lovely parks high furnish lungs to the oily . and a lace of calm repose to the traveller .or the laborer weary for rest. One of these s the "Governor's Garden," a delightful arlc,. vibh wake, fountains and flower ads of all descriptions, within whioh, near the front and overlooking the river and Point Levis is the tall marble monu- went erected just 70 pare ago, in the 'me of the late Earl Dalhousie, a former overnor, in memory of the two distiu- uished generale who fought for the pos. session of Canada, viz., Wolfe and Mont alm. Over the ashes of these two ernes, British and Frenoh, there is (as' t should be) a fitting monumental tablet ailing of their valor and virtues, and a eoomiog tribute to that universal broth. rbood whioh ought to animate friend and foe and every race and creed that meet one day be all consigned to a com- on grave. In passing through the city, here I sojourned for a day or two on y way West, 1 observed hordes of ourfsts and visitors, many of them Americans, who had come 'over by rail and boat to see the sights and obtain a atter acquaintance with their more ortlierlycousins. Indeed such VMS the prong that it was with some difficulty caommodation could be procured for em in hotels and in private boarding ouoes. The Fkontenao hotel,. lately Mit by the Cl. P. R. Company, a mag - Admit structure, said to be one of the nest on this Continent, and ,oapabls of cotnmodating nearly 1,000 guests, was u11 to overflowing, So were many other tele and boarding houses, It was a oh harvest for the cabmen, whose tubers are legion, planted at every ublio square or corner of the oily, To a ranger nothing seems more odd than e vehicle called the "Cateahe," used by e Frenoh CO men, a two wheeled sort gig, very high up and rather awkward eking, arranged to convey two passsn- ° e,andwhatwiththecontinuousjolting horse motion and the break neck speed whioh the poor animals are driven np d down those steep hills, one bas the °sentiment of being dashed out, and I" few tourists there aro who do not for version avail themselves of this meane locomotion in seeing the sights in and ound the city. To vfeit.,Quobeo is like hind some old world oity of the past Entries—streets narrow and winding, tiepin structures of stone, quaint looking emonts whioh ono would alined fanoy re inhabited by ghosts or. goblins, tier t h a p ti ;G t t th It n9 fi ao ho ri nu St th th of to gr or at. an p0 Ye of 00 vie 00 as ton we above tier of old-fesbicned buildings looking down into the chimney tops' of those in the "lower town" -such is the melee Presented toe stranger visiting the ancient capital for the Met time. And yet with all that quaintness, there was ample evidence that the good .people of Quebec dwell together as .brethren, in unity and goo0.will, on the principle of "dive and let live."

The game was a good one from start to finish and ended in a vie - tory for the home team by nine to three.
