The practice of holding a banquet
after the combat, attended by the
combatants and all their seconds
and assistants must be abolished
II has frequently happened that af-
ter a duel had passed on quite harm
lessly, the antagonists have had a
serious quarrel at the banquet as a
result of the free consumption of
generous wines and liquors.
The fashionable club known as
the "Cercle HOche' took the lead
in this movement and was followed
by those other smart organizations,
the "Cercle Litteraire ct Artistique,
Of the rue Volney, the Jockey Club
and the Union ATtistique"
In commenting upon the move
meut. the secretary Of the Jockey
Club, said.
EFT is unhappily certain that We
too frequently convert the duel into
an affair of publicity instead OF an
affair of honor
A duel should always be an event
of an exceptionally grave character
and this fact should impose on all
who take part In it a solemn duty
Of silence aud discretion
