Lieut.. Whitney's trip here was on X

Immediately took Lieut.. Whitney and

embraced the American, and his staff
could moi do too much for him. Lieut..
Whitney breakfasted with them, while

the one Churchman In England who
could sway the Dissenting conscience"
He represented in parliament the great
Presbyterian district OF Midlothian, IN
Scotland, albeit himself a resident of
Wales. Yet no man was less OF q mon,

reader OF the service In the parish

hands of his sovereign was content TO

WILMl GTON FIGHTERS DRAW.
DALY's BAD RIGHT HAND HANDI-
CAPPED HIM LAST NIGHT.

Jack O'Brien, the aspiring local light
weight, stacked up against the hardest
game of his career last might at the
Arena. Philadelphia, when he went on
with Jack Daily, of this city, for a six
round go.
Defeat, quick and decisive was book
ed for O'Brien. but the latter very
wisely stayed away for five rounds and
managed to make an even break of It.
Daily had a bad right hand, his thumb
having a large felon on il, which will
be amputated TO-DAY For this reason
he was far from being in good form
and did not box in anything like his
customary style. O'Prien was cool al
all times, and was not the least in
clined to take any chances. The bout
displeased the audience, and they
showed their displeasure by hootinq
the boxers.
DAILY was handicapped with his bad
right hand, and this prevented him
from doing himself justice. There was
very little best to the bout, but what
there was DAILY deserved.
Paddy Donovan. the clever Kensing.
ton bantam. and Midget Glynn. of VIII.
mington, went six lively rounds to I
draw. Donovan had the best OF tn,
clean work, but Glynn proved strons
and a hard rusher and evened matters
up. Both lads displayed a wonderful
amount Of cleverness. and put up tn,
prettiest contest of the evening.
