'low and Ineffective Work with Diminutive Engines. A correspondent of the Sm Francisco Examiner attended the annual inspec¬ tion of the Tokio (.Japan) fire brigade. He says: About the centre ot the park were five tall bamboo poles, guyed on all sides to make them strong, and on top of each was placed a board, which wag fastened firmly on the end of the pole. Floating at the top and attached to a long string were three small balloons. About 9 a. m. the fire companies from all portions of Tokio commenced to iiio in and take position on three sides of the park, all facing the grand stand. It was a novel and interesting sight. Each company, except the steamers, consisted of fifty men drawing a small, two-wheel hand engine, holding about forty gallons of water, and carrying two bamboo ladders and a large pole and hook. In addition to these a queer emblem was carried, representing some distinguishing feature, each company having a different shape. The men were dressed in the native costume, decorated with red lctfc’rs and char acters, and cacii , . liau. , a blue and white 1 - jq handkerchief, twisted in the shape his , . , head. , tii.y 1A id, /mo J of a turban, on _ t ookwart llius leaving the whole 1 , . . , . city unprotected for the tune being. E h company was attended by a fore i J . . man dressed in a uniform ot blue clotn, and a largo saber dragging along on the ground at his side. The chief and dis trict engineers were uniformed in the same way, only they had about live times as much gold lace, and ns ere mounted on horseback. The engineers would rush from one end of the parade ground to the other as fast as the diminutive ponies could go, and they were continually being spurred on bj» the everlasting sword swinging under their flanks. Stationed at hoalq-iar ters were te : buglers, who, sounding ca p j brought in a procession past ^ tltrran d stand the five steam engines to the department. The, were diminutive affairs Lngli^h, \o.i ^ now _ an d wero drawn by three ponies hr. ■-n spike-team some style, and accom -l by about ivvnnty men each, who i dressed in bln uniforms, caps vhitc .ter pnsung in - tjlf motion on one side »of fee park and^ommencad to run two linos of small two and one-half inch canvaiho 3 e toward the poles here¬ lofore referrcd to . i he length _ of . time . required . to un¬ twist and get all the kinks out of that Rogo was surprising, and sufficient time >» >»» dwellings. At another signal the liand engines formed inline by turn, aud, twenty-five at a time, went through a drill. This consisted, at signal, , a o. the unfastening of a tank from a cart, undoing about twenty-five feet of hose, n( j <j um pi 1 a => jj the tank on the ° ground and standing, witu nozzle in . hand, , ready for action. At another signal the hose was rolled up, the tank replaced on ^ cart and the men ready - to move off. Daca team consisted of four se looted men from each company and tho excitement and shouts of tho remain¬ who had drawn near to witness tho contest was amusing. After the small engines had passed in review, a signal was given aud steam engines com menced to play at the board and balloons on the bamboo poles. The engines puffed and puffed away and for fully five minutes could not throw a stream over twenty-five feet high, aud were compelled to shut off one stream. By a great deal of coaxing they at last got a stream that would throw about sixty feet high, but of litfeie volume. A fair, squa: e comparison as regards the force and size of the stream would be w }£h five one-ineli hose playing from a sin all liydrant in private grounds in San Francisco. After two or three minutes* trial one of the companies succeeded in knocking off the board on tlio top of the pole, and were rewarded by the plaudits of 100,000 people. A continued 1 dcd , , the . . , c fi ort rcwar same company witn washing tho balloons off, which ail tha others failed to do. aud only succeeded in getting off the board after repeated trials.
