THE CRY HAND ENa1NEs.-THE NEWS has
mentioned that the Prudence and the United
fire companies, colored, were successful in the
drawing for the two city hand engines not in
the possession of fire companies. The presi-
dents Of these two companies applied to Chief
Engineer Nathan for the engines, but be re-
fused to give them authority to take them. on
the ground that he was not empowered to do
40. The presidents retired, and shortly after
tho Chief received'a letter from the mayor in-
structing him to turn the engines over to the
companies. Enclosed in the letter was copy of
the lately adopted ordiuarcs to make certain
colored fire companies part OF the Fire De-
partment. The Chief wrote to the Mayor that
he could not comply with the instructions,
giving the same reason that he gave to the
presidents Of the companies; also, stating that,
in his opinion, the Board OF Firemasters only
had power to dispose OF the engines. He re-
ouested an interview with the Mayor, and on
Monday accompanied by the chairman and
first vice-chairman Of the Board, called upon
him. After q pleasant interview, the Mayor
consented 10 have the whole matter referred to
the Board Of Firemasters, which, at their next
meeting, will most probably order the engines
to be given to tho companies.
