AT THE DOG-FIGHT

If it occur in your block, courteously give way to strangers

desiring a view, particularly ladies.

Avoid showing partiality toward the one dog, lest you hurt the

feelings of the other one.

Let your secret sympathies and your compassion be always with the

under dog in the fight--this is magnanimity; but bet on the other

one--this is business.
