Charles S. Neal for $3.50. He also pur-
chased Flash, a chestnut mare by Egmont,
out OF Lighfoot, for 500. Frank Burke
secured the bay mare Lady Stevens, a
full sister to Minnehaha, and stated to be
in foal to STEAMBOAT, for 1925. A bay year
ling colt by Ross S., out of Pearl, sold to

FIGHT AT THE RAY.
A Sacramento Lightweight Defeat.
DOnegan.


Donegan.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27.-At the Cali
fornia Athletic Club tonight Billy Done
gan and Miller, the Danish feather weight
from Sacramento, boxed to a finish.
Donegan was all style and no force, while
Miller was as ornamental as an excited
ourang- outang. He was all there, how
ever, when it came to slogging, and
shook up Donegan with right cross
counters that made the eX-amateur look
as happy as il the grip had corraled him.
The contest was painfully slow to the
tenth round. In the seventeenth round
the Dane threw his caution to the winds
and went IN for slog, Donegan replying
fairly with both hands till Knockout
was imminent. The eighteenth was of
the same order and looked anybody's
tight, and after this the Dane kept away
but managed to floor Donegan with a
left on the neck in the twentieth. In the
twenty-tourth Miller crossed Donegan
with a right on the jaw, dropping him,
Donegan taking nine seconds on the floor.
Miller then crowded his man and won in
the twenty-ninth, knocking him out
with another cross on the jaw.

Leech, having spoken of India's large

prosperity on the part of India, did
not show that India sold so cheaply
that other countries preferred to buy OF,
rather than to sell to her.
When Leech responded that large

one OF its largest trade balances, did we
