_ IN GOOD CONDITION. 
_ Manchester Firemen have “Tryzout,” and 
find the apparatus in good working order 
Incidentally Demonstrating Their 
Readiness to Battle Anything that 
may Come Their Way. 
The Manchester firemen were given 
“‘try-out’” Monday evening when all 
ae apparatus was taken from the Engine 
House and given a test. Everything was 
found to be in smooth working order and 
the test as a whole was very successful as 
may be judged from the time and figures 
given below. 
It is customary to take the steamer out 
occasionally during the year for a “‘try- 
out,’’ but seldom if ever has the whole 
department been out. It was jocularly 
remarked that it is the intention to make 
_ the boys earn the increase in pay allotted 
them at last Town Meeting. 
‘The steamer went to Norwood avenue 
_ extention where the pump was connect- 
ed with Saw Mill brook which flows lei- 
surely along at this point. “The steamer 
was in charge of Engineer C. C. Dodge 
and Asst. L. O. Lations. The fire was 
not started until they arrived on the 
ground and 60 pounds of steam was on 
in ten minutes, though it was afterwards 
worked up to 175. Both the double and 
single hose was tried. 
The chemical was run over to Roberts 
& Hoare’s shop on Elm street by hand, 
and from the time they left the house 
until a stream was on was 2 mi. 5 sec. 
The auxiliary hose was also taken to 
Elm street by hand and a stream was 
turned on from the hydrant in 4 min. 
‘The laddermen had their ladders up, 
and their hook-ladders on the roof in 
24 min.
