TRIAL OF ALFRED TAYLOR.

The trial of Oscar Wilde was commenced this morning, before Mr. Justice Wills, and is now proceeding.
FRACAS IN PICCADILLY.
LORD QUEENSBERRY AND HIS
A serious fracas occurred in Piccadilly to-day arising out of the Oscar Wilde scandal. The two persons concerned were the Marquis of
Queensberry and his eldest surviving son, Lord Douglas of Hawick. It was at first supposed that the son was Lord Alfred Douglas, but this proved not to be
the case. Lord Queensberry was recently acquitted on the charge of having criminally libelled Oscar Wilde, his defence being that the action he took was
intended to save his son, Lord Alfred Douglas, from the evil influence of Wilde.
Lord Queensberry and Lord Douglas of Hawick met in Piccadilly to-day, when a violent altercation arose between them, which ended in Lord
Queensberry severely chastising his son.
They were both arrested and taken to the police station, where they were bailed out.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
A FURIOUS STRUGGLE.
LORD QUEENSBERRY CHEERED
The particulars respecting the fracas in Piccadilly published in this morning's papers show that the quarrel was commenced by Lord
Douglas of Hawick, who accosted his father, calling him a liar and a slanderer. Lord Queensberry thereupon proceeded to chastise his son, eventually
knocking him down. A furious struggle then ensued, which lasted until the police came up and separated the two combatants.
The sympathies of the crowd were entirely with the Marquis of Queensberry, who was loudly cheered as he left in charge of the police.
In connection with yesterday's fracas in Piccadilly, it appears that Lord Douglas of Hawick accused his father of having written
insulting letters to Lady Douglas because he had bailed out Oscar Wilde.
The Marquis of Queensberry states that he is anxious to renew the fight with his son.

The Marquis of Queensberry and Lord Douglas of Hawick later in the day appeared before the Police Court, and were bound over to keep the
peace in the sum of £500 each.
