THE WEEK.
Pugilism in the Street.
Burns represents one end of the social scale -— misbehaving in the thoroughfares, but the Marquis of Queensberry brilliantly represented the other a short time back, and showed the way by having a "mill" with his own son, honorable somebody or other, in the very heart of London, and in the rosy daylight of that city. This "fight to a finish" was struggled through according to, or in direct contravention of the celebrated "Queensberry Rules" so profoundly revered in the prize ring. We must not throw a stone at John Burns when the nobility of England indulge in such a larrikin method of arguing out their differences.
