this afternoon. Jack Dempsey, the
worlds heavyweight champion, was the
first man after Francois Descamps to
congratulate Carpenter after the
knockout. Carpenter left the ring and
proceeded to his dressing room through
lanes of kissing and booing fight fans.
Notables View Battle
The great Olympia amphitheatre held
a record crowd, for the battle had at
tracted widespread interest: Hundreds
Of handsomely gowned women were
among the spectators and evinced keen
disappointment Mt the quick work made
Of the British favorite by the French
man. Among others present we're the
Duke Of York and Prince Henry, who
were seated at the ringside. Jack
Dempsey was applauded as he entered
the arena ard was shown to a seat
near the royal personages,. to whom he
later was introduced. He chatted with
them for q moment.
When. the gong sent the fighters to
the center of the ring Lewis took the
aggressive. He sent across right jab
to the neck, followed by left to the
body. There was q clinch, and the
referee, Joe Palmer. called upon the
men to break. He then jumped in be-
tween them and pulled them apart.
Immediately the fighters again went
into a clinch, jabbing fiercely. Palmer
forcibly pried them apart again and
then administered caution to both.
Lewis continued the aggressOr. He
got in two lefts on Carpenter, and the
crowds madly cheered him. Carpenter
closed in and held on. Again the
referee reproved him. Lewis forced the
Frenchman into q corner, and there
was a rapid exchange of body blows. in
which Lewis had the advantage.
The Knockout
Carpenter then forced his opponent
off the ropes and into the center of the
ring. The Frenchman missed with a
right and Lewis sent his right to Car
lowed, and the referee stepped in and
separated the men. Carpenter upper
cut Lewis and also sent in hook blow
as they were coming out of the cllnch.
Lewis glanced appealingly, at Palmer.
Then, following the Frenchman's tao.
tics. Lewis jabbed as they separated.
It appeared as II Palmer again was
going to warn the fighters as they broke
away. Lewis had dropped his guard
and Carpenter feinted with his left
and simultaneously flashed the right
from his shoulder to Lewis jaw. To
those sitting at the ringside 1t seemed
the merest tap. but it had sufficient
force behind it to send Lewis back
ward upon the canvas for the count
Of ten and for the fifth knockout VIC
tory for Carpenter in less than q
round.
When Lewis was taken to his corner
and placed on his chair he sat dazed,
but with his eyes blinking, as Car
pentier walked about the ring smiling
and acknowledging the mild applause
accorded him. At the same time sup
porters Of Lewis crowded about the
ringside and protested to the referee
and the ring officials against the deci-
sion, declaring 1t was unfair.
Before the fight Lewis got such a
prolonged ovation from the crowd that
the spectators did not see Carpenter
until he was climbing through the
ropes. The Frenchman then was ac-
corded a greeting, but somewhat less
hearty than that given Lewis.

VALUE OF TEST ASSOCIATIONS
information Obtained by Members
Enables Them to Weed Out
Improbable Animals.

There Is plenty Of evidence on file
In the United States Department Of
Agriculture to convince anyone of the
value of cow-testing associations as a
means of developing profitable dairy
herds. In all these associations rec
ords are kept Of the amount Of milk
produced and feed consumed by each
COW, and with this information the
members Of the association are able
to weed out the poor producers of the
herd to make room for the helfer
calves Of the cows that give the larg-
est production of milk and butterfat.
This practice, together with the use
Of purebred bulls, is the best and sur
est way of building up the dairy herd,
say dairy specialists of the depart
ment.

CARE IN MARKETING BUTTER
To Insure Delivery Of satisfactory

Successful parcel-post marketing OF

taken to insure the delivery Of sat

say specialists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. The fol-
lowing are few Of the important
considerations to be observed to mar
ket butter successfully by parcel post !:
1t should be properly packed In neat
and attractive packages.
The shipping container use6 should
amply protect the butter from deterior-
alton and damage.
The packages should bear the ad-
dress of the sender and be properly
addressed to the customer.
The most expeditions mail service
from the mailing Office should be used
to insure delivery In the best condi'
tion.
Postal regulations provide that but

Offices to which,, In the ordinary
course of mail, II can be sent without
