In a toast to the guest of honor, Lord Denies called Cieno a "groat; gentleman' 'and hoped he would j have much success in "his chosen i field of literature." The young Marquis of Clydes dale followed with a brief speech and tho ex-champion replied with graceful phrases of appreciation. "I don't know why you make this fuss over me," Gene said. "What is boxing? The ability to coordinate mind and muscle at a critical-moment, that is all. "Yet you receive me with all this acclaim.

Gene's speech is described as a trimph of sincerity that carried nil before It. The speaker is char acterized as "an orator to whom words are music." "Here was a speaker who had knocked the language cold and claimed a championship over Its dead body," the writer says.
