Summary
Illustration shows a boxing ring with Henry Ward Beecher, Thomas De Witt Talmage, and the "Rev. Dr. Monck" who has knocked them both out at a "Tournament of Sensationalism"; he wears a bandana labeled "Holy Healing Power" around his head and his right hand is inscribed "Worth $50,000 a Year", he has hugely oversized fists. Beecher is slumped against the ropes, with a blackeye; Talmage, not wearing boxing gloves, hangs over the ropes.
