DAILY and Critic.

Jack DAILY gave the spectators at the
Winter Circus, at Philadelphia last night
good exhibition of hard and continuous
smuggling in his sixiround bout with Dung
Critic, but he did not seem to hurt the
A australian very much, and the latter was
apparently rs fresh at the end of the bout
as he was at the beginning, and no was
considerably fresher than the Whining
ton lad, who seemed 10 tire considerably
in the last three rounds.
DAILY used good Judgment at times, and
by keeping away from Critic Kept tho lat
ter coming after him and constantly on
the go. Then DAILY would 60 in and mix
it up at u lively rate, but most of his blows
were poorly timed and wild, and did not
do the da mage they might have done had
they reached the right spot. However,
DAILY must be credited with making the
best showing with Critic that has been
given by any of the men who have boxed
the Australian since he located here.
In the first round Daly's tactics kept
Critic on the defensive, and he was also on
the defensive in the early part OF the sec.
ond round, but he got into 1t with both
hands and he gave the Wilmington lad
some lively boxing Then DAILY came
back and the round ended in his opinion.
Daily came up strong for tho third round:
some Clyver work. DAILY made grand
stand play of the fourth round.
He sw2ng and chopped and upper cut,
and although most of the blows were wild,
vet enough landed to make the crowd cheer
DAILY to the echo. DAILY did not do so good
in tho fifth. He was NOT near SO frlsky
aud Critic got in some good blows. DAILY
was fresh enough in the sixth round, but
he was wild and few Of his blows landed.

NlY CAUSE CRISIS.
Washington Officials Do Not Like the
Spirit Shown at rladrld.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The possibility
of crisis with Spain over the Cuban ques-
tion was Informally discussed to-day in
ofiicial circles in the light Of the latest re.
ports from Madrid, which represent the
feeling against Minister Woodford, as be-
1nk 30 strong as to require special precau-
tlone for his personal safety
The State Department officials, who are
In position to know the exact situation,
will not discuss 1t, except to say that there
- no official information that Minister
Woodford Is in any danger and that he
reports his reception by tho Duke Of
Tetpan as worry satisfactory.
The idea however, that an American
Minister requires the protection of an
armed guard at a friendly court is COM
mented on by some Of the officials in other
departments, notably thu War and Navy
Departments Us being peculiar to say the

II was proposed to publish because Of the
tnoorrect and sensational reports that had

authorities, but it has now been deemed
advisable by tho President to withhold the
letter from the public for the present.

shat the sick soldiers are no longer brought

s Intestinal diseases are prevailing TO an

Wilmington audience at the Bljou last
evening. The audience present was q rep
resentative one, and included many OF oiir
best citizens, who by their continuous ap.
plause showed that Miss Jean Renolds
had made adecided success. The play pre-
sented, Forget Me.N0t, jhad been seen here
before, the character Of Stephanie having
been enacted by many we'll known &C.
tressos, including Rose Coglan, Jetfries
Lewis, but Miss Renolds' portrayal of the
characters, was far superior to any we have
evor seen before.
The chief feature of Miss Renold's suo.
cess Is her wonderfulspleas,n personality;
Furthermore she Is beautiful in every re.
spect and an ideal actress. The company
supporting Miss Renolds Is above the aver
