So severe were the conditiona which were settled for the duel that, when the seconds applied for permission to stage the affair of pl honour in Italy, where duelling is still allowed, the responsible com- mittee declined to extend its pa- tronnge, stating that the duel could only end with the death of one of

The scene of the encounter was accordingly changed to Hungary,

Count Andreas Bethlen, son of Hungary's Prime Minister, was one of the seconds at the duel,

Three shots were fired by each duellist ut a distance of twenty-five paces, but none found a mark. The rivals shook hands and left the field reconciled.

The harmless outcome of the duel caused some surprise, as it had been feared that it would end in the death of one of the principals owing to the severity of the conditions.
