DUEL WITH FOILS.
Dutch and Australian Students At Melbourne. SATISFYING HONOUR. (Received 11.30 a.m.) MELBOURNE, this day. To avenge his honour after having been expelled from Melbourne University Conservative Club, Stanislaus Josef von Ingwersen, descendant or a noble Danish family, fought a duel with Peter Lalor, great-grandson of the Eureka stockade hero. Lalor moved a motion for Ingwersen's expulsion, and Ingwersen regarded this as a stain upon his honour _ and challenged Lalor to a duel with foils. Clad in cloaks and accompanied by their seconds, .an umpire and a surgeon, the duellists fought until Lalor stumbled and Ingwersen's foil gashed his ear. The contestants then shook hands and retired to drink coffee. The registrar of the university, Mr* Bainbridge, stated* that •no official notice would be taken of the affair, which was regarded as a joke.
