NO RULES WERE OBSERVED
The Marquis of Queensberry and His
Son Fight
Sensational Engagement on an
Aristocratic
Promenade in London - Nobody
Was Hurt
LONDON, May 21. - The fashionable afternoon promenade in Piccadilly was well filled with aristocratic spectators today when the Marquis of Queensberry met his son, Lord Douglas of Harwick[sic], near the corner of Bond street. A few words passed between them and then there was a brief but very determined conflict. The police immediately separated the combatants and took them both to the police station. The young lord's countenance was disfigured with a black eye. Neither the father nor son passed a charge against the other, so they were merely charged with disorderly conduct. They will be arraigned in the Marlborough police court tomorrow.
