DALY-LAVIGNE BOUT.
If Person Did Not See the Cont est, by
Reading the Philadelphia Papers
One Would Think DAILY Had
the Worst. oft

AS was expected, the Philadelphia
mornining papers in their account of the
Daly-Lavigne contest all gave Lavigne
the best of it. But the question is, did
they think SOP
Or were they all like certain
sporting editor, who, when asked
his opinion of the fight, said that DAILY
had all the best of it. and continued by
saying But that won't stop me from
roasting him."
By reading the account in one of the
Philadelphia papers he certainly kept
his word. And this is all you can expect
if a Wilmington boy fights in that city if
he don't knock his man out.
The majority of the papers will come
out and say the lad from here got all the
worst of it, even if he don't in the fight
he certainly does in the papers.
But never mind, DAILY is just like
Charley Mckeever, the most of the
sporting writer's in that city are down on
him and won't let him up.
If DAILY had knocked Lavigne out it
would have been all accident, as they as
serted when DAILY knocked Lavigne to
his knees.
One paper also said that the Kid was
off his guard. Well just wait till they
meet in twenty.round contest, and the
people who bet their coin on DAILY will
have money when the Lavigne people
will be broke.

Fast Dyes for Mixed Goods.
Special Diamond Dyes for Cotton
That Give Fast Colors on Cot
ton and Mixed Goods.

Don't Risk Spelling Your Material With Dyes
That Claim to Color Both Cotton and w oil
With the Same Dye-Diherent Kinds AbSo-
lutcly Necessary for Making Satisfactory
Colors on Cotton and on wool-Dismond
Dyes Make Fast and Rich Colors on Any
thing F.om Ribbons to the Heaviest Cloths
In these days Of shoddy goods,
when the mills are trying to see. not
how good. but how cheap they can
make their cloths, the woman wAo
wants to color over her old clothes
has to be specially careful in selec :
ing her dye. Cotton is a vegetable
fibre and wool an animal fibre, and
to get satisfactory colors on cotton or
mixed goods, it is absolutely neces-
sary to have different dye from
that used to color wooden goods.
The great success Of Diamond Dyes
in coloring cotton and mixed goods
comes from the fact that they have
special dyes for this kind of work
that can be relied upon to make
colors that are fast to sunlight.
Some dyes claim to color both cotton
and wool with the same dve, but
when used on cotton or mixed goods
and exposed to the light. the result
shows the falseness Of their claims,
for the colors soon fade out and be.
come dingy, while il the Diamond
had been used. they would not have
lost their full, rich, bright shade.
Diamond Dyes cost the manufac-
turer and dealer more, but the price
to the user is the same, which is why
some dealers occasionally try to sell
cheap limitations for The sake of Q
little more profit. The result is 9
loss to their customers, for the Dia
mond are the only package dyes or
the market that can be relied upor
to always give fast and beautiful
colors that are true to name Us,
nothing but Diamond Dyes il vet
want success and satisfaction.

The island itself has the advantage
Of much more than nature uapaliy
does for such ANAL sections OF the
earth's surface. and what has been
added BY the architect and the land
scspe gardener aud others who have
worked there has made the place SO
attractive that it is visited by thous,
snds OF excurs!onists every summer.
The island is three miles long and
half o mile wide. 1t contains $50
acres The iron drawbridge recently
b ALT by the government. leads to it
from both sides of the river. The
first building reached from the west
side is the arsenal, of buff limestone,
81 feet By l8O feet, and constructed
back in the '6J's. 1t has fine broat
portico and clock tower nearly 1920
feet high. The clock is one Of the
largest in the Un!ted States. 1t has a
dial y feet in diameter, one showing
on each OF the four sides II the tower.
The striking bell weighs about $500
pounds. The dials can be seen from
both sides of the river, and the bell
can be heard for many miles. Even
in ordinary times it rqclres pass
from the commandant to admit to
the island anyone not employed
there, but in these times the watch
that is kept over the gates is re-
doubled. Tho watchers are REIN

finely laid out, and on either side OF
them are many traces OF the work of
the landscape artist. The gunyard,
which is to the right Of the main
avenue and near the entrance, is en-
closed by fence Of cannon balls au
the cannon themselves that were
taken from the rebel forces during
the civil war. There are IL shops,
all built on the same general plan.
They are all stone, and many Of them
are grown over with creeping ivy and
other vines, which in summer time
add great dea, to the beauty OF the
