New York, 1895
Prize fighters, and those who afford them protection, will be interested in the bill introduced in the Assembly by Mr. Horton. It forbids fights of every description and makes it a crime for any person to issue a challenge or train for a fight. It is made a crime for any person to permit a fight on his premises, and it is a crime for any railroad company to carry people to a fight.
The police of New York raided a prize fight in Harlem last Thursday night. The thugs up in Harlem had not learned that prize fighting is permitted and encouraged in Queens County. They will get the cue now.
—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, Feb. 1, 1895, p. 4.
