Between five and six o'clock an excellent supper was served at tables in the park to about four hundred keenly appreciative guests. After supper, when the picnic had its full total of members a long sports program was held, Leon Frazer took charge of the games and races while Mr. Alger helped materially toward the success of the picnic. Unfortunately no list was kept of the winners, so their names are not available for pub- lication. A ball game was played at the conclusion of the races, and the party gradually disbanded.

Smith, Mr. W. H. Ross, chairman of the commission, was on hand to press the starter button for the first time. Mr. Smith and Mayor T. B. Mitchell went down to the lake again this morning to look over the installation. This pump is of the centrifugal type, and was manufactured by the DeLaval Steam Turbine Co. It has a capacity of 4,500 United States gallons or 3,600 Imperial gallons per minute, or about twice the de livery of the largest electrically driven pump now at the pumping station, which delivers about 1,800 gallons per minute, Water is dis charged into the city water main system through a 12-inch pipe, in- creasing to 18 Inches, and a pres- sure of over 155 pounds per square inch was registered by the pump during the test yesterday. Tor a short time a pressure of 200 pounds was maintained as a matter of interest at the test to subject. the whole installation to a heavy overload. The gasoline engine operating the pump is a large eight- cylinder engine, a Sterling Viking II, and was constructed especially to oper- ate this large pump. It is a mam- moth gasoline engine, and develops 565 horse power, which is more power than any other gasoline en- gine of this type in the world. On a test conducted by Mr. W. C. Smith the engine developed a sus- tained load of 635 horse power, Novel Exhaust In order to make the operation of this engine ag noiseless as pos- sible, a fairly long underground tunnel was built. The exhaust from the engine enters this tunnel through a six-inch exhaust pipe on the engine, and is allowed to ex- pand in the tunnel, which runs al- most the whole length of the pumping station. The exhaust is led from the end of the tunnel up a large pipe and discharged into the air slightly above the roof of the station. This has proved an effective exhaust muffler, and the engine therefore makes little noise in operation. Storage for gasoline is provided in two 1,000 gallon underground storage tanks, outside the pumping station, the gasoline being drawn into the engine by the pump on the engine itself. Practically the en- tire installation was made by ew- ployees of the city water wotks de- partment, under the supervision of W. C. Smith, city engineer, assist- ed by Mr. A. E. Colvin, city fore- man, and Mr. F. W. Walker, chief engineer at the pumping station. Can Carry Load This pump can deliver well over the present demand for water in the city, which is about 1,700 Im- perial .gallons per minute in the daytime and considerably less than that at night, and therefore will take care of the city's needs for some time to come.' It will be used as an auxiliary pump, to keep up the pressure in the mains when the electric power fails,.or to give an additional supply of water and to fire. It was pointed out that the new pump will effect a saving of about 15 minutes in starting up the plant in case of fire or any.other emery ency. The old steam pump, which is 'being replaced as the auxiliary by this gasoline driven unit, took 15 minutes at least to get into op- eration, and then could only de- liver 1,200 gallons per minute, as .|aglinst the 3,600 galling per min- ute at high pressure that can be delivered within less than one min- ute by the gasoline pump. Each cylinder of the eight-cylinder engine is equipped with four spark plugs, and there is a separate car- buretor for cach pair of cylinders. The ignition current is supplied by which also operate to start the engine. Either one of the generators would be entirely sufficient for the operation of the engine, and this lends to safety in operation, as the failure of any part will not cripple the equipment, as the duplicate system will automati- cally function. Easy Control The starting of the engine~is aes complished by pressigg a button, and instantly two starting motors place the engine in motion, ready to take her full load. The | entire control mechanism for the engine is, located maintain the pressure in case of Issel Built Gas Enda Operates New Large Pump Oshawa Waterworks Plant at: on an instrument board motinted on the engine itself. Gasoline is supplied to the engine by two gas pumps, rated to supply the requisite amount of g asoline at any load. The engine takes 30 gal- lons of gasoline per hour at ordinary running load, The. lubrication of fhe engine is accomplished by an auto- matic pump and pressure system, whereby every moving part of the engine receives oil at a pressure of 70 pounds to the square inchs - The oiling system contains about 25 gal- lons of lubricating oil, After the oil passes through the bearings, it is de- livered through a cooling system then through oil filters, and is then returned to the pressure lubricating system. Cooling System The engine cooling system reguires 80 gallons of water per minute. Part of this water, after leaying the en- gine, is deliv ered to the exhaust Dipe where 1t is expanded into steam! and operates to cool the exhaust pipe and to quict the exhaust from the engine. The further quieting of 'the exhaust is accomplished by means of the un- derground, that the exhaust is hardly audible at a distance of 200 feet. Without this silencing system, the engine would make a terrific noise. A' great deal of work has beens pei quired in changing the pipe instal- lation, etc, to accommodate the new pump. A new throat has been placed An the 18-inch Venture water meter on the force main where it leaves the pumping station, to make it possible to register the increased capacity of the plant, This. metef change alone meant a great deal of detail work and labor, but the meter will now register a delivery of about 8,000 gallons per minute or about 4 times the present need, sO Following Program In installing this new equipment, the Water Commission has been fol. lowing out a program of major .im- provements recommended several vears ago by City Engineer Smith. The first of these was the placing of the 500,000 gallon water tower on the hill, and eight other major items. of improvement have since been effected. There now remains practically only the question of a new filter plant, which is now receiving the serious consideration of the commission, "The citizens of Oshawa may now feel assured that they have one of the finest fire pump auxiliaries any- where in the world," Mr, Smith. said this morning, "When the work is finally completed, and the floors and other parts of the building repaired and replaced again, the citizens should avail themselves of the oppor- tunity to visit the station, and see what has been done by the Commis- sion for their security and protec tion." Final tests of the equipment will be run within the next few days, and the Water Commission as a whole Su view the installation at an cacy date, In Memoriam DERVENT---In loving memory of Norene Errington, who passed. away July 23, 1928, aged 4 vears, 11 months, She suffered much bore Physicians were in vain, Till God above, in His great love Released her from all pain.
