The fashionable afternoon promenade on Piccadilly was well filled with aristocratic spectators to-day when the Marquis of Queensberry met his son, Lord Douglas of Hawick. A few words passed between them and then there was a very determined conflict. Lord Douglas' countenance was disfigured with a black eye. Neither the father nor son preferred a charge, so they were merely accused of disorderly conduct. They will be arraigned in the Marlborough street police court to-morrow.
Lord Douglass banged his father's head with an umbrella during the fight to-day and loudly asked whether the Marquis of Queensberry intended to cease writing objectionable letters to Lord Douglass' wife. The police arriving upon the scene Lord Douglass excitedly repeated this accusation of persecution, which he said had occurred since he had gone on the bail bond of Oscar Wilde. The Marquis of Queensberry retorted, "That's my son, I'll fight him anywhere in three kingdoms for £10,000." The police at first allowed the disputants to go, but the struggle was renewed in another part of Piccadilly and they were arrested. It is reported that Lord Douglas has gone abroad.
