SPECTATORS who saw the contest were more

from the grounds for fear OF postponement. as
nothing but q cyclone or deluge will stop tho

A suit was begun In the Brooklyn Supreme
Court yesterday. at the instance Of Mayor San.
ford. to have o judgment against Long Island
City Of 81. 200. with costs and interest. vacated.
Tho judgment purported to be In favor OF the
Rumssy Company Of Seneca Falls for the sale
OF q fire engine to Long Island City. and was
obtained on Feb. %. 1892. during Patrick J.
Gleason's term Of office MS Mayor. The engine
formerly belonged to Mr.. Gleason and was
housed in his car stables. When the paid Fire
Department was organized It was purchased
by the city. the Rumsey Company being named
in the transaction as the owner OF the ma
chine. 'There were no funds with which to
pay for the engine. SO an action was begun In
tho Brooklyn supreme Court, apparently by
the Rumsey Company. and judgment was
obtained.
Yesterday Mayor Sanford received q COM
munlcation from the Rumsey COMPANY. in
which the company denies absolutely that It
had any knowledge whatever OF the FIRE en-
gine transaction. The letter said that all the
knowledge the com pany had OF the matter
was on seeing q reference to the suit In n
newspaper. and later when they received noti-
fication OF the suit They did not know Of the
existence OF such q FIRE engine. and never had
anything to do with Its sale. It is said the en-
CINE was more than thirty-fve years old. and
was worn out.
The matter is to be Investigated by the San
ford administration. and 1t Is intimated Q
