EDITOR OF The TRIBUNE: Sir: In look
ing your paper Thursday morning, see that you
have given to Engine Company No. ~ the credit of being
first the ground the fire in Leonardst Such Is not
the case Hose Company No 25 on the ground, and
Of work full ten minutes before any other company
arrived By correcting this mistake you will much
oblge L. BRENNAN, of Hose Co. No. %.
Our reporters are requested not TO state what COM
pany first fire. since in general it is impossible in
the confusion, to tell who does arrive first NewYork
firemen are always ready and need no special COM
