We hnVo read report in tile Egcning Iln,es
Of Dec. 1G, 1873, purporting 10 recount the duel
between NfesBrs. G. Z. Whitney and Gcorge
Drury. The tdno Of tho report implies m Gu
deavor TO joke with an nffair Of honor, Taking
thiH rovow of tho report. wo inyito A1r. Dayil
Schwartz. tile wlitor, as We are autloritativcly
informed, and tho sporting man Of tho Times,
to indulge iu similar joke with either OF us, nj
Ills own selection, and we promise to afford him
all tho fun aud sport that circumstances and
ayon his erratic imagination will udmit-eyeu to
We tako this opportunity OF stating hurnb!y
TINT we doubt very much whether 1fr. Schwartz
would have behaved as decorouBly aud brayely

Alr. Schwartz can, however, provo the con'
