I'll have no pistols, 'cos I never used 'em, and don't think I could hit a man, any how." "A fight, a fight! form a ring!" and the proposition for a combat a la fistiana was received with joy by every Englishman present. "O, don't, sir," exclaimed the youth who had been the cause of the trouble; "don't expose yourself on my account."
Under the "favored applications clause," a person whose knowledge of any particular subject was unique and authoritative, whether the topic were Esperanto or fistiana, went to the head of the waiting list automatically and had his initiation fee remitted.
When the nations are disarmed, Ireland will take first place, for in fistiana she is supreme. James Russell Lowell once said that where the "code duello" exists, men lift their hats to ladies, and say "Excuse me" and "If you please."
I can go in harness preaching the bloody gospil against any minister in New York. I know all Watts' Hymns and Fistiana, and I'd like to be an angel and bite Gabriel's ear off. A man got upon one of the benches in the pit and commenced to preach in a frenzy to the crowd. He related his experience as a gambler at several gambling houses in Ann street and on Broadway.
All these were under the direct patronage of the Captain, otherwise seeing the consequences they sometimes led to they would undoubtedly have been strictly prohibited. It is a curious coincidence, that when a navy captain does not happen to be an admirer of the Fistiana his crew seldom amuse themselves in that way.
From the hour when this match was made in May last there has been a mystery attached to the personality of this fighter never before heard of in Fistiana in New York.
To this end he tentatively had approached our leading exponent of the art of self-defense and our most dependable sporting authority, one Mr. Jerry Ditto. Mr. Ditto had grown out of a clerkship at Gus Neihiem's cigar-store into the realm of fistiana. As a shadow-boxer he excelled; as a bag-puncher also.
