Wife Died = Vew Weeks Ago. A few weeks ago Mr. Daly's wife died| in Boston. He took this loss very| much to heart, but his ph. al condl- | tion did not seem to suffer particularly under the grief conseugent upon the death of Mra, Daly. Margaret Daly! and Luoy Daly, the wives of Ward and Vokes, respectively, are his sisters. They were informed of their brother's death at once by Dr. Gilday, who is temporarily in oharge of the body. Dan Daly has been seen in many roles | on Broadway. In the palmiest days of the Casino, when that place was known as the home of comic opera, Daly un- created the leading comedy parts. Per- haps his greatest hit was in the “Belle of New York.’” His fog-horn voice and hin peoullar dry humor won for him a! general praise by the critics. This was| the season when Edna May took New York by storm, “The Lady Slavey,” produced at the Casino in 18%, gave Daly another op- portunity for « hit, He was contrasted with Marie Dressler in this show, and in the two the major portion of the fun centred. , In 192 Daly appeared in the New Clown, but the show was not a great success. The year previous he had made debut as a comic ope ster in the “New Yorkers,” which had @ run ut the Herald Square. Mr. Daly came from @ family of ao- tors. He took turally to the stage and his droll humor, ils nere-to-be-for- gotten voice and his'dry manner on and Off the stage made him a comedian an ublic entertainer of great possibilities. Be was the leading Ught of ¢ comic ata Ume when musical comedies had thelr longest runs. Daly was given some rare charfces in his Ume and he improved them, Although !n the front rank of oome- dians he was not starred until three years ago. As a ater Mr. Daly's efforts at fun-making did not meet with the ent successes of hia former plays but that was due more to the musical com- edies in which he appeared than the comedian When “Belle of New York’ to Burope Daly went with the company. In London he and Led- out and the comedian resigned, a hard man to get along with stage and it was said then that unless Mr. Daly resigned the chorus iris would in a body, He wan a strict Uiscipiinarian when managing his own Shows and for this reason was not so Universally Hked by the men and wom- en whom he employed. will be a long time before the quaint, angnlarity and elongated lean- ness of Mr. Daly are forgotten. On the Rialto he was a, figure, and whenever ‘own could always be seen etting Theatr in the gelghborhood of Forty first street and Broadway.

This wax unfortunate, for) tbe reason that this was one of the most important and interesting days of the meeting for the Washington people. On the card was the Chevy Chase Hunt Steeplechase, a race across coun- try at two and @ half miles, This race is a society event. ‘The horses engaged are those that have regularly hunted during the season of 1903-19, and they are ridden by gentlemen who must wear full hunting costume of pink coats. The riders and their friends are very much in earnest, but the race always furnishes a lot of amusement for the regulars. In addition to the Chevy Chase there was also a selling steeple- chase, Jumping races always draw out the full strength of the Washington at- tendance, so that there. was another record crowd at the track ‘The other races were fairly good as far as class was concerned and promised excellent sport. ‘The weather cleared during the afternoon and was fairly pleasant.

SCENES AND INCIDENTS OF BIG DOWNTOWN FIRE., Started in the building No. 61 Broadway, opposite Wall street, and com- pletely destroyed that building and No. 59. The “two 9’s” alarm was sounded for the first time in several years. Deputy Chief Binns was in charge until the arrival of Chief Croker on a special train from Morristown, N. J. Nine men made a thrilling slide for [He down a rope from the third story, Business was suspended on the Stock and Consolidated Exchanges. Millions of dollars were removed from neighboring buildings to the street, where the strong-boxes were guarded by men with rifles and revolvers. All the valuable records of the Pinkerton Detective. Agency had to be re- moved to a place of safety. Thirty-seven engines and twelve hook and ladders were on the ground. Mayor McClellan and Fire Commissioner Hayes were among the spectators, In the worst fire that has occurred in the lower part of the city in years, to-day, the large buildings ct Nos. 59 and 61 Broadway were com- pletély gutted, many thousands of dollars’ worth of property was dé- stroyed, the narrow streets of the financial section as well as Broadway were choked with a crowd of more than 50,000 persons, traffic was tied up, business suspended and hundreds of persons driven from their offices. Prom the windows and roofs of the burning buildings men were rescued by the firemen with great difticulty, because of the dense smoke und fierce flames, and all over the contiguous streets the remarkable sight was witnessed of men armed with pistols and rifles guaring the boxes of treasure hastily removed trom the buming and threatened buildings in safes and tin boxes. Such a display of fire apparatus as was drawn to this fire has rarely been seen in this city. When the fire started it spread so rapidly that for awhile there was good ground for fear that it would spread to other large buildings. Chief Croker had been summoned to the bedside of his‘mother, who is very ill at Morristown, N. J., and five alarms had been tumed in before he got word of the big conflagration. Deputy Chief Binns, who was Acting Chief in the absence of his supe rior, finding an inadequate force on hand after he had turned in a fifth then turned in “Two Nines’ the box at Rector street and Broadway.

It brought thirty-seven engines, twelve hook and ladders, a score or more of alarm, from | men, © of the warm! where he was met by L tenders, every fire patrol wagon {n the city and an enormous force of fire- After a fierce fight lasting about two hours the firemen got control of the situation and the fire is now practicaily out.
