Well trained and scientific boxers from all the world meet in a roped-in square,
surrounded by an orderly crowd of stock-brokers, bankers, and miscellaneous
sporting characters, who wait for the best man to win. Then they adjourn to a
front room, and around the bar and little tables they talk about by-gone fights
and the men and horses whose pictures cover the wall.
