The clubs Of New-York have been burzlng with talk
for the last two days about the Dayton-Borrowc affair
and the current OF criticism has been extremely I'M
favorable TO Mr. BoIrowe Most cubmen think that
he has acted In very reprehensiblo manner Ills
In asking his seconds TO lay before the Due do
MOrny and Aurolien School Islander upon Mr.. Dray
ton, In order an excuse for backing from y
duel with Mr.. DraytOn is bitterly condemned by ex
perts In affairs Of honor and by clubmen generally.
How could the Due dc Morny and Aurolicn schon know
whether Mr. Borrowers seconds slanderng Mr..
Drayton were telling tho truth. The question
asked In the clubs after members hsd read the Dor
version OF the whole affair. The prnytop version
has yet got into print. New Workers who believe
in duelling say that BoTowe had been trying per
sistonuy to break up Draytons family and ruin HE
life that there excuse for his avoiding a meet
ing with Drayton on any preteIt whatever. And now
the many friends Of Dir. Drayton say-and they have
hosts OF symIAtliZcrs in tic clubs In this view
that Borove's final effort 10 inJurc Drayton by getting
his own version Of the affair into print wholly regard
less Of the good and welfare Of the lady IN the
case Is absolutely nexcusable
Borrowes selection Of seconds is harshly commented
upon in the clubs generally. Milbank Of the
seconds, Is said have killed three in duels. tho
husband, brother and father Of "a German woman whose
reputation he had ruined by his attentions to her.
Edward Fox, the other second, is Engshman, who
