Perhaps the best race the old horse ever won was at Washington' park, In Chicago, in lxiis. After Frank Agmi had won the first two heats and W. W. P. the next two, the spirit moved the Minnesota pacer, or ills driver, and he mowed down field and favorites In the next three rounds.

From some statistics published recently by M. Kuan, the German minister of agriculture, the land of the kaiser leads the world in the mntter of importing horses In case of war the Germans are bound that they will be in possession of a liberal supply of horses. For the last three years there has been a slight decrease, the cause being that home breeders are doing well. In 1909 Germany Imported tlft.000 horses at a cost of Most of the Imports were made for draft purposes; light draft horses numbered 43.3o and were of the value of The heavy draft horses numbered 4H.500 and were of the value of $10, I.OdO Supplies of the former class were drawn principally rom Russia, which sent head; then came the Netherlands, with Austria and Hungary accounted for 2.520, Denmark for 4H7, and the rest were drawn from France ami Belgium. The he; vlest of the draft horses were mainly supplied from Belgium, 20.000 being Imported at a naverage price of 1310.

Denmark supplied 16.309, France 5.M7. Austria ami Hungary 3,309, Russia 2.0.M, the Netherlands 604 and England only 125. In 190K Germany imported 207 half-bred sires, at an nvcrnire post of 11,020, most of thenl being from Belgium. Saddle horses were put dow nas numbering 6,662. of which Austria supplied .946.

The annual general meeting of the Scottish footbull club will he held in the Trades hall, on Monday, at 8 o'clock. KBTCHBL HAS New York, Jan. 27. "No nmn Ket- rhel licks Is ever any good after," said poor Willie Brit one day here, "lie's a terror, I tell you, and Just ripe the heart out of these fellows." Of course Wlllus was spreading a press story, but he doped It almost right. Ketehel certainly proved the undoing of Jack O'Brien.

The latter never took such lickings in his life as were administered by this same Ketehel In their two memorable battles her In the east. Who ever saw O'Brien stand toe to toe with a ripper like Ketehel and then stand the ripper stilt and bleeding In the centre of the ring, with but one leg to stand on, Jack O'Brien did that, but he used up all his fuel, and In the later rounds was a mere punching bag for the cowboy, who simply tore holes through the Junker's -uard and killed him as a fighter. Beating Slows Him In their Philadelphia fight Steve belted the Quaker all over the ring, bouncing them off his chin and body as fast as any gattllng gun ever shot. O'Urien showed the other night against Kaufman that the beatings slowed him up to a walk and that he Is a mark for the good men now. Hugo Keliy wns never much after his fight with Ketehel; Jack Twin Sullivan is about through; Joe Thomas was slowed up for over a year, and only now is beginning to regain his form.

Battling Nelson is the same sort of a fighter. Who has never heard of Rritt, Hanlon, Corbett. Herrera or Gans doing anything after the Dane had finished with them? Echo unswer, "No one!" Coffroth the Whole Thing Looks as though Jim Coffroth will be a whole fight trust In himself this coining year. Tom Mulvey, the Frisco plunger, writing from the land of the Llg quake, says that Coffroth controls eight fight dais In the coming year. Eight fight dates in Frisco means eight different months, anil, as there are only twelve tights allowed ill Frisco during euch year, you can see that "Jeenis" Is there like a duck.

It looks now as though three clubs will run the fights for Krlsco Coffroth having one, CofTrotli and Jim Griffin another and Jaik Gleason a third. Tills is the first time since 1905 that Coffroth has had a club in Frisco. He still coif trois the Colmu club, anil It Is thought that he will continue to rum his Sat-urdsv afternoon bouts.
