Sll. 100 FoR JERSEY.
Record Breaking Prices For Jersey
Cattle.

The record-breaking price of ST., 100
was paid for Sultana's Oxford Lad, the
King Of the herd, at the sale of imported
Jersey cattle held at Coopersburg, Pa, on
Monday. The purchaser was Mrs. S. F.
Henning, Of Shelbyville, KY, niece of
John B. Haggan. the great horse breeder.
The disposition of this animal was
unique in the annals of Jersey cattle sales.
The breeding world in general demanded
the offering of SON Of Golden Sultana.
Cooper had two of her get-Sultana's
Oxford Lad, by Oxford Lad, and Sultana's
Golden Jolly, by viola's Golden Jolly.
The conditions of the sale were that
both would be led into the ring and the
successful bidder was to select the one
desired. Bidding ceased at $r1,Ioo with
Mrs. Henning high. Amid the applause
Of 5000 spectators she stepped into the
ring and led away the SON Of Oxford Lad
as her choice.
Another sensation of the sale was the
purchase by NJ. S. Bellshever, of Irving
ton-on-the Hudson, of Golden Sultana, a
daughter of Sultana, for $500, the worlds
record price for Jersey COW. The next
highest price paid for COW was $4,000 for
Oxford Destinatin's Queen, by ]. F. Mid
dleton, Of Shelbyville, KY.
Three noted purchasers of fine young
herds were Wayne McVeagh. Thomas
Barlow and James McCrea, president Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, who were there
in person, and another herd went-to Al
fred G. Vanderbilt's Newport farm.
A total of I3r head was sold, including
81 cows, II bulls, 81 heifers and "a calves.
The sale melted $oo,44o, or 1894 head,
including calves, or an average Of $75oa
head, excluding calves.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11-Immediately
after composing the national all-around
championships at San Francisco next
July, Martin Sheridan will leave this
country on a rOund-the- world tour,
which, he expects. will keep him away
from America for the best part of two
years Though it would seem that a
westward course would be the easiest.
Sheridan. will work eastward, making
Ireland his first stop. After day
with his people the big cop will hop
over to England and Scotland and then
work his way by easy degrees through
all the athletically inclined nations of
Europe, Russia included. From there
he will go on through India and China,
japan, New Zealand, Australia and Ha-
wall before coming home to America.
He says nothing just now of visiting
South Africa, but the chances are he
will tackle that proposition along with
the others.

Whitman College
to Play the "Y"

The first basket ball game of the
season for Whitman college will be
played tonight at 7:45 o'clock when
the five from this institution will try
conclusions with the fast aggregation
from the Walla Walla high school. The
game will be played in the high gym"
Because it put up such a good show

week the high lads are confident of
repeating their former performances
tonight and the cOllegians are aware
that they will have to play some" if
they expect to carry off the honors.
The realization of this hard battle is
we'll known to the college authorities
and hard practice has recently been
INDUCED in, for the purpose of putting
the varsity into proper shape. The
loss of several of Whitman's best play
ers, due from graduation. has crippled
the team to certain extent but on
the other hand there is large squad
to draw from and it is predicted that
before the season closes, Whitman Will
have a much better team than that of
last season.
Coach Blanchard has not yet an

mirers. but it is the plain truth. When

will use all his cleverness to prevent
Jeffries landing in the early rounds his
terrible right wallop that has wrecked

That means that Johnson will keep
on the defensive until he thinks Jeffries

But the greatest of all battles, man
to man, in our day, was the fight be-
tween John L. Sullivan, champion of
the world, and Jake Kilrain at Rich
burg, Miss, on the morning of July
s, 1889. The fight attracted more at

it was the Jeffries johnson fight Of

only $4,000. that was tremendous for
those DAYS 1t was the last of the great
ring contests fought under London

The morning was piping hot above

ground beside an ice house, fifty
miles from New Orleans. The specta-

country, were on roughly made grand
