Table Talk - Friday, May 24, 1895

A DUEL was fought in the neighbourhood of Paris last month between M.M. Jules Huret and Catulles Mendès, two well-known literary men. The weapons used were swords, and the encounter resulted in M. Mendès receiving a slight wound. The duel arose out of some remarks which M. Huret made in the Petite Chronique des Lettres, in which he referred to the amicable relations subsisting between M. Catulle Mendès and Oscar Wilde, and to which M. Mendès took exception. It is believed that other duels arising out of the same motive are pending.
