THE GoDFREY-sMITH FIGHT.
Both Pugilists in Fine Trim for Tc
 Nights Battle

Both Pugilists in Fine Trim for To.
 Nights Battle
 NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The Ground boxing match between Georg9 .odfrey and Ed Smith, to take place sght at the Puritan Athletic Club, L. .lg Island City, is the chief subject of discussion amongst the sporting fraternity to-day.
 The mems arrival in town from their training quarters has stimulated the interest in the match to 8 white heat.
 Both boxers report themselves in very fine condition and each is confident of winning.
 The men are to box for a purse of $2,OOO, offered by the Puritan Club. Big gloves are to be used.
 There is good deal of quiet betting going on, and Smith seems to be trifle the favorite, although packers of the colored man are not wanting.
 There is not much likelihood that the match will be interfered with by the au- thorities, as it is an out-and-out boxing contest and not a fight. Tickets for the match are in great demand.

THE IRISH DELEGATES.
The Reception in New York Attended |
 Over 5000 Persons.

Over 1000 Persons.
 NEw YORK, Nov. 11.-When the IrisI1 Parliamentary delegates entered ths Metropolitan Opera House last evening, they were welcomed by the cheers of over 5000 persons.
 When John Dillon stepped to the front of the stage, galleries, orchestra and boxes vied together in thunders of applause. Not only once was this scene enacted, but every member of the party who spoke was similarly received.
 MT. J. J. O'Donohue, as the representa- tive of the United Irish Societies, pre- sented Governor Hill, whom he styled the American champion of Home Rule, as the chairman of the evening. Governor Hill, on rising, was received with great applause. The Governor, in a few we'll cordially welcomed the delegates to the city and State. The list of vice-presi- dents was then read and a set of stirring resolutions adopted.
 Speeches were made by all the envoys. The response to the appeal for financial aid surpassed the highest expectations of the delegates. For nearly an hour there was scene of spontaneous generosity such as has rarely been seen in New York or in any other city. Subscriptions which, in the aggregate, mounted up to $33, 900, besides $4, ,000 realized from sales Of seats, were announced before the list was closed. And when it was announced that this munificsnce signified the over throw of the last hope of the Tory Government in it's efforts to subdue Ire land, there was @ scene of rejoicing diff cult to describe.

ROMANCE or MATRIMoNY.
An Old Man Wants a Divorce from His
 Seventy Year-OId Wife.

An Old Man Wants 8 Divorce from Hi,
 Seventy-Year-OId Wife.
 WHKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. 11.-A short time ago Peter Martin applied to the courts here for divorce from his wife Rosanna. Peter is 77 years of age and Rosanna 70, and they had been married a few months only. He says that she de serted him. She filed an application for al1mony and counsel fees. On this ap- pncatlon Judge Woodward has just filed an opinion in which he says:
 She does not deny having left the house, but says he treated her cruelty. She says: He took me home with him after we were married, and I had to get the supper ready the first night.' This crtainly seems like rather abrupt transformation from the romance of matrimony to it's hard realities, but in view of the fact that the parties had reached such mature age, had been mar ried before, and had families by first marriages, it would seem reasonable to suppose that the transition of the bride rom the environment of the honeymoon to that of the kitchen, while evidently rapid, must still have been comparatively painless.'' D
 The judge concludes his opinion as fol- lows: "On the whole, we do not think it our duty to make this order for alimony, and thus prolong the litigation between these now old people, who will spend the evening of their lives to much better purpose by coming together under one roof and living as man and wife than by struggle to hasten that separation which, by the law of nature and without any aid from this court, must very soon Occur D

During one of ms ms reflective moods he was heard to say: Poor dear, poor dear I' When asked to whom he was alluding he replied: "Why, who is the law inflicting the greatest and most lasting torture upon ? My poor little wife. Of course I grieve for her, and thousands of others feel as I do."
