He added he then told Campion and Colloran that the Post could not be purchased and “as far as I knew, there was not & newspaper 'in_Boston ‘which could be bought.” Later the same week, O'Malley said he went to see Carberry and after dis- cussing general matters, asked whether th Post was for sale, and then told| the Post managing editor about the two New York men’s proposal.

A touch of humor was injected into the show when Suzanne, jumping pride of the 3d United States Covolry, became | unruly in the touch and out class and bolted. The horse raced across the in- closure and soared gracefully over the 5-fool fence, despite the efforts of the rider to hold her back.

The American's short chip shot cost her the hole when she was 15 feet from the cup and needed two putts Wwhile Miss Wethered was chipping four feet away with her third and sinking the next for a 4 to win.

India is full of thieves and thers would be more thieves in that country It it were not for the fear of the “Khoji,” whose business it is to track thieves by their footprints. These per- sons are trained from youth and be- come very adept. The thieves, knowing this, resort to various tricks to throw the ‘searchers off the track, but they rarely succed. The trackers will some- times lose a trail but intuitively they will pick it up again. Cattle steadng is extensively carried on and the thieves WL often drive a buffalo into a stream and float down with the animal, thereby leaving 1o trail, but the tracker is wise and will almost invariably pick up the trail further along and often these men will follow a thief by his tracks for 100 miles and then overtake him and bring him to justice.
