Shere Ali followed upon his heels. But these two were not alone to take that road. A third man, a Bengali, bespectacled, and in appearance most respectable, came down the steps of the musichall, a second after Shere Ali had crossed the road. He, too, had been a witness of the prize-fight. He hurried after Shere Ali and caught him up. "Very good fight, sir," he said.
"And to think that I was a good two years younger than either of you!" "A prize-fight? You'll tell us about it, sir?" ventured Dick eagerly. "The Rector has heard the yarn before, I doubt?" said the old man, with a glance which told that he only needed pressing. "That objection," the Rector answered tactfully, "has been lodged against certain of my sermons. I never let it deter me."
We went together to a prize-fight, which had been well advertised. A small boy with a gong handed me a bill on the rue du Four, which read: The bill said further in French and Tahitian that this was to be the climax of all ring battles in the South Seas between natives, the Christchurch Kid and Cowan, the bridegroom, being hors concours. Every seat was reserved by noon.
I am a magistrate, and, of course, cannot patronize the thing very openly, yet I sometimes see a prize-fight. I saw the Game Chicken beat Gulley.
The Honorable Eustace Beauchamp Conckley went white to the lips. "Sounds like witchcraft," he muttered. "I never dreamed " "And after your supper," the Doctor went on, "he says you went to see a prize-fight and then sat up playing cards for money till twelve o'clock and came home singing, 'We wont get " "That will do," the judge interrupted, "I am satisfied you can do as you say.
But I resented their uncouth commercial gallantry almost as much as I abominated their trying to bully my True Love. And I gave them one Parthian shot as I turned away.

I believe a great deal has been written on the subject of the English Gypsies, but the writers have dwelt too much in generalities; they have been afraid to take the Gypsy by the hand, lead him forth from the crowd, and exhibit him, in the area; he is well worth observing. When a boy of fourteen, I was present at a prize-fight; why should I hide the truth?
"And every State and federal office-holder has been distributing passes for the last three weeks." "Pass?" repeated the baron. "You mean they fight with the fist so? To distribute a pass so," and the baron struck out at an imaginary enemy. "It is the American language. I have read it in the prize-fight. I am told to read the prize-fight and the base-ball game."

Then he joined the group, and described to the boys a prize-fight so graphically that their eyes fastened on him with the gaze of one witnessing the event itself. He praised Amarilly to the mother, gave Cory a "tin penny" which she at once recognized as a silver quarter, and talked politics so eloquently with the Boarder that for once he was loath to leave when the hour of seven-thirty arrived.
