A Famous Duel.

The first and perhaps the only in
stance Of a ...lnce of the blood being
challenged by subject was the case of
Colonel Lcnnox of the Coldstreams and
the Duke of York The duke said that
certain words had been spoken to the
colonel at Daubigny's club which no
gentleman ought to put up with, but
refused to mention the name of his in
formant or even to state what were the
injurious words. The members of the
club were all communicated with, but
no one had heard them, still the duke
would give neither apology nor expla-
nation Thereupon the colonel sent him
a challenge, and his royal highness,
waving the question of rank, accepted
it. They met on Wimbledon common.
