- Depiction: The ring is formed in Moorfields, crowds of spectators are gathered around, the curious have climbed up every available point of sight, and observers are scrambling over the roofs "Magnanimous Paul O!" the mad Emperor, is represented as a Russian bear. His sword is tempered "a la Suwarrow," and his shield is inscribed "Swallow all O!" The British champion Pitt, encased in a demisuit of mail, is jauntily meeting his adversary . . . .
