avenue to the fire through a MAY Day
parade Of children. who we're running
all over the street like frightened
chickens.
The fire started In c. r. Brown. two.
Story brick garage. from an explosion
caused by a back draught created by a
chauffeur. Charles Murphy. cranking a
machine In the front OF the building on
the ground floor.
II took the fire les. than ten minutes,
to destroy completely everything with
in the q walls OF the garage. The
~oil-soaked floors burned with y roar
and the automobiles in the place blew
up with n noise like the firing OF a
battery.
$4,000 Dar,are Done.
Those IN the garage were compelled
W 'A'h "fNEH ,
cars were destroyed and damage
amounting 20 $4,000 was done. Fire
men Hughes and O'Bricn were blown
from a ladder by an explosion. but es-
capped serious injury.
Some $40 very little children were
marching up Amsterdam avenue bound
TO a May party In Central Park when
the alarm reached Hook and Ladder
C~ompany's No. r. house IN IVES: Sixty
seventh street and Engine Company No.

Lieut.. Brady and two policemen were
watching over the parade. and they
comprised pretty nearly the total force
OF the West Slxty-eighth street precinct
at that. the rest Of the men being in the
police parade.
A particularly noisy nfe and drum
corps headed the MAY party parade. The
shrill OF the hfes and the boom OF the
drums drowned the clang o. the Are
bells and the shrek Of 'he engine wills
tie until the apparatus swung into Am
stegdam .'enue and headed north.
Lieut.. Brady and his men. aided by
citizens. rushed into the street and SIM
ply piled children up against the side
walk in rows. The little folk com
pletely lost their heads and ~scurried in
every direction but toward safety. The
drivers OF the engine and hook and lad
der truck almost pulled their arms GU,
holding their teams and trying to guide
them.
