HEY WERE GIVEN A WORK- OUT LAST NIGHT. in Presence of Hepresemtatives of Company and City Counc . Citizens Take a Great Interest in the Test. ' The lamps offered the city by Westinghouse Electric company and! he Canadian General Electric com-| any, were given an official test. last ight, and the test attracted a good eal of interest, quite a large number of citizens turning out to inspect the amps. Mayor Graham was on hand to see the lamps, and Ald. Elliott, chairman if the light, heat and power commit tee with the members of his committee und Fire Chief Armstrong were also in Wtendance. The representatives 'of the two com- sanies, with C. Eolger, manager of he civic light plant, were present to show the working of the lights. One ight was placed at the corner of Queen wd King streets, and the othgis at he corner of Queen and "Ontario 'treets. Both lamps were put through a test, ind the members 'of council were given un opportunity of viewing the lights vom every standpoint. The test oc upied the attention of the city fathers or a couple of hours. The testing of ights is quith a task, and the com- nittee has gone about the matter in \ systematic way, their obiect being '0 give both companies a fair show, n the test, and it will then be up to hewn to pick ont the lamp which they wonsider will give the city the. best »ossible service. The representatives of the compan- es had an igstrument for testing the sower of the lamps and by its use they secured the distance each lamp vould carry its light. One thing is certain and that is that the city will have far better lighted streéts, no matter which of the two lamps are accepted, as it was the general opinion that the new 'amps are a great improvement over the old lamps, which have given good service.

The boat lies firmly grounded upon the shoal in open water without any protection from the fury of the ele: ments, and the outlook is promising that, as soon as the 'ice breaks up in the spring, both the boat and its cargo will be totally destroved hy the lashing of the waves and the fury of the winds in the storms that always accompany a northern spring. It will be next to impossible, Mr. Phillips thinks, to float the stranded teamer until the ice goes out at which time it will be so badly batter ed and its cargo damaged to such an extent that an effort at rescue will not be worth while.
