ILMINGTON WINS ANOTHER
AND WILMINGTON A. A. DROPS ONE

The inability of the Wilmington "a.
A. to hit the ball lost the game to New
Cumberland on Saturday afternoon at
South Side Park. While the local men
put up a good game in the field, their
stick work was poor. and that is the
whole story. McFetridge was the local
slab artist. and Jack" pitched good
game. The visitors made eight hits
off his delivery, but he kept them so
well scattered that they did not cost
much. Breckenridge was in the box
for the visitors. and. while he allowed
the local bunch but three hits, he was
wild. and put up a poor game. O'Neil
was on second base, and Jimmie play
cd a great game. He had several hard
chances and accepted all but one.
Today the Johnstown team Will play
at South Side Park

Their pitcher, Beard, was more or
less a puzzle to the local men, and for
seven innings there was nothing doing
in the run-getting line. Only three
hits were made by the local team, butt
they were made at the proper time.
William Day was the pitcher for VIII

LORD PAUNCEFoTE WAS
 STlCkLER FOR PRECEDENT.

Not alone officially but socially Lord diplomatic contingent in Washington life. And this was not because he took precedence over everyone else-even the Vice President when Hobart HVed-but because the British embassy had been under his regime the gayest of the houses of foreign representatives, Since the death of the Queen, however, 1t has been a little less gay than 1t was in the years previous. Formerly Lord Pauncefote gave several balls in the course of each season and a dinner each week. says the Washington Times.
 The fact that there were at that time four accomplished daughters in the fam fly and a delightful hostess in the per- son of Lady Pauncefote gave a vivacity and charm to these entertainments scarce equaled in any other embassy in Wash ington One of the most brilliant we'd dings in Washington for many years was that of the Hon. Lillian Pauncefote, the ambassadors third daughter, to MT. Bromley, then an honorary attache of the embassy.
 Lord Pauneefote himself in appearance and manner was decidedly English. He
 was large of frame, as he was large of brain. He might have been painted as the substance of English character John Bull" Among prominent Ameri- l cans he numbered many close friends. He was a stickler for form and rank, and pressed the issue on more than one occasion when the question of precedence was involved.
 A noteworthy example of this was his raising the question of precedence with Vice President Hobart. Lord Pauncefote insisted that, as the dean of the diplo- matc corps and as representative of her majesty Queen Victoria, he should be ac corded a position at state social func- tions above that of the Vice President. His position of ambassador gave him ac- cess to the Presidential ear at all times, and if he preferred he had the right to negotiate international business with the President direct, instead of through the secretary of state. The question raised considerable discussion, but was finally decided favorably to Lord Pauncefote.

WARREN DEFENDS HIMSELF.
Complained That Government Was
 Withholding Certain Reports.

New York, May 26.-An important anonymous book published today, says a Tribune dispatch from London, in refer ence to Sir Charles Warren's action at Spion Kop, is understood to express Sir Charles Warren's own views with re- gard to that famous battle. Sir Charles Warren recently complained that the gov ernment was still withholding documents bearing upon his operations, and that those which were published reflected se- sriously on his military reputation.
 The writer points out that the Boers considered Spion Kop the key to the situ- ation at Natal, and had 1t been held, Iadysmith would probably have been won His contention. therefore, is that the blame for the failure should not be cast upon Charles Warren, who ordered the situation to be taken, but on Colonel Thorneycroft, who abandoned 1t without sufficient reason and without consult ing him.
