MISTAKEN IMPRESSIONS.

[To The Editor <tk.vtfokd Post.] Sir,-The .Mayor has informed me that his apology was merely for his mistake in stating I missed two meetings instead of one. I had the int/pression his apology included his fur!ther remarks re my absence on my own business, inasmuch as he would not have made those remarks only he 'thought I had missed two Building Committee meetings. Under these circumstances 1 quite admit it was not i necessary for your representative to report the apology, as he had not reported the-Mayor's statement that I had missed two meetings.— I am, etc.. J. FREDRIO. April 18. 1915. (It is certainly nice of .Mr Fredric ."under these circumstances" to admit our reporter was quite right. This trivial incident has, however, beautifully illustrated the folly of cocksureness. and should be a lesson to Mr Fredric ' —or any other aspirant lor a public position who takes himself as seriously —not to be too ready to rush into print .in an attack on the integrity or accuracy of another individual on a mere impression, which, after all, may be a mistaken one.—Ed.
