One of the most remarkable duels of the dueling
age in Ireland that not fought in County
Cork toward the beginning of the last century.
FrancO-Irish chevalier named De Lacy arrived in
Cork from the gay capital where he had been bred,

He got his opportunity few nights later, when
at great ball given by the Mayor of Cork Fitz-
gerald found De Lacy present and as usual the
Cynosure. At a favorable opportunity, in view OF
the whole ballroom. he walked up to De Lacy;
slapped him familiarly the back. and said:

De Lacy consented.
The news of the coming fight of course ran round
the country like wild-fire, and such a sensation
was it that hundreds arrived upon the ground the
night before in order to get a good position The
country people were trooping in throughout the
night, and when De Lacy rode into the field on the
stroke of six in the morning he found that there
were many thousands in attendance. As Fitz-
gerald did not ride in at the moment. De Lacy
at first imagined that he had been fooled. But he

it is difficult to assign definite reasons
for this pessimism. So far IA can be ascer-
tanned tonight nothing whatever has
happened to justify the reaction. which
can only be assumed to be attributable to
mistrust of Germany and apprehensve

Rouvier's note will conciliate her.
There is a crop Of alarmist rumors re-

possibility of grave developments is dis

inquiries by Deputies in the lobbies, as

were utterly baseless. He declared that

made the arrest. De Becks friend said
he was Samuel H. Harris, a contractor, of
Pittshurg Pa. Both were locked up in
the West Forty-seventh street station.
When De Beck moved his chair in the
aisle an usher ordered him to put it back
in front of the post where it had been.
De Beck paid no heed to the usher, it is said,
and then the fireman on duty at the roof
garden asked him to move the chair. This
request was also unheeded, it is alleged.

There has been trouble at Bellevue over
the food supplied TO the patients and staff

of the orderies refused to eat the break
fast served to them, complaining OF the

and it was said that the 1872 who came SEQ
ond had poor pickngs.
Miss Gorton said last night that 1t would
not be graceful for her to say anything
about the complaints, except that they were
made by persons who were late in reaching
the dining room, and that they were them
selves to blame for finding their food cold
or scanty.
