August 9, 1878, Mr. Daly became a member of the Barlow, Wilson, Primrose and West Company, and continued with them until the dissolution of the organization in 1882; he then joined the Thatcher, Primrose and West Company, at their inception, and continued with them during their existence, seven years. Mr. Daly next allied himself with the Primrose and West Company, and remained two seasons.
