The disgraceful row between. Mitchell and Slavin is the talk of the sporting world. It appears that the men quarrelled previous to the raising of the curtain, the dispata being as to their relative 'success with women and their money making capacities. From this they fell | to bonating of their pugilistic prowess and threatening to knock each other out. Mitchell wasabort drank and Slavin r'ill more intoxicated. There was a large audience. The first two rounds were so unscientific as to, provoke Jeers In the third Mitchell landed a heavy blow on Slavin's nose, breaking the cartilage and causing | blood to spurt in all directions. The audience rose en masse and shouted "coward."" shame, etc., at Mitchell, Slavin was enraged and flew at his assailant, but the blows exchanged in this real fight were recklessly wild. In minute or two the curtain was lowered, shulling out the battle from the view of the audience. But the noise of the combat could be plainly heard and the people were greatly excited. Finally felends of the combatants summoned courage to separate the men, The audience wordismissed but gathered around the stage door waiting until the puguists left the building, when many of them struck at Mitchell and would have done him harm had he not taken the precaution to have a strong police escort to his hotel. It was admited by Mitchell to-day that both Slavin and himself had attended the Liverpool races during the day, and had become Intoxicated. They had quarrelled in this con- dition, but he went to the evening's entertain- ment la forgiving mood, and would have thought no more of the dispute had not Slavin renewed it and become the aggressor. He denled that Slavin's' nose was broken in the scrimmage, and said that they bad made It up and were again good friends. The two men boxed according to the regular programme to-night and the cordiality of their handsbaking before the contest seemed to bear out Mitchell's assertion that the row had been forgotten. The audience hooted the men a little at the start, but soon forgot their grievance In watching the ex hibition, which passed off without any unpleasant incident.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1891.
July 26th. The Prince of Wales will meet the King of Roumania at Blankenburg in August to discuss the question of the marriage of Prince Ferdinand. heir presumptive to the Roumanian throne, to the eldest daughter of the Duke of Edinburgh,
The excrative attentions pald to the Prince of Naples by the Queen, and Prince of Wales dur- Ing his visit here have convinced the public that the reports of a probable matrimonial alliance between the Italian and British royal familles has some foundation. It is known that the Emperor William strongly favours such an event as tending to bird the interens of England and ftaly, and thus sirengthen the Triple Alliance, The Queen has lent the Prince of Wales the royal yacht Osborns for a craise of the Solent Channel, and the Prince of Naples will join the yaching party and have an opportunity to con- flous the courtship of the Queen's granddaughter which, if rumoar be correct, bas niready been begun.
July 27th.
ASt. Petersborg dispatch rays that the Ruslan police have been very much excited over a report that anarchists, disguised as sailors of the French fleet, intended an attack on the life ofthe Car. The consequence has been that French- men have been watched closely and while to the outward appearance all is tarmony and fra tenal, the best police agents of St. Petersburg arc keeping surveillance over the visitors. As a matter of fact, there is probably nothing in the rumour and the only foundation said to exist for dread of harm on the part of the Czar is that many of the Jedish refugees upon a riving in Germany have openly declared their vengeance upon the sutocrai to whom they ascribe their calamity.

But the subject interested me. Pugilism seemed to be the only profession in which there was a distinct standard of merkt.

The reception of Prince Henry of Prussia in England has presented a marked contrast to that of his brother, the Kaiser. Henry also is a grandson of the Queen, but there has been no demonstration on his account, and he has been accorded only the usual official civilities. The Place of Naples is the hero of the hour, and the garden fete of the Marchioness of Salisbury in honour of the Prince on Saturday was of the most brilliant of the season. The future king of Italy is a harmless looking young man, wit a thoughtful but not a, handsome face. He is desperately devoted to garlic in his food, a habit which is not likely to recommend him to English company, as was shown by its wide berth given HOW MR.
