The most striking feature of the new boat is the comfortable cabin which this extra width has made it possible to add: for this reason the new craft has been dubbed the "Star Plus." And, best of all, the substitution of an iron board for bulb-ft keel, and sim- plification. of gear, has enabled the designer to turn out the "Star Plus for $500, as against the $600 for the regular Shanghai star.

EXCELLENT BOUT

One of the best fights of the evening was between Corporal Wheeler of the Inniskillings and Zeleff of Sakol. Both were of even weight but the" soldier's lack of height did not prevent him from maintaining the offensive through- out. His technique, a style of its [... own, was pretty to watch, and for the first two rounds he chaard his opponent around the ring. The game Russian stood up mantully to a variety of lefts, rights and hooks, and although "he was floor- ed in the second round, he managed to recover in quick time. The last period was fought on very even lines for owing to previous exertion, the soldier was forced to

slacken his pace. He was, how- ever, awarded a deserved victory.

George Levchenko, under the expert training of Babe Russ show- ed himself to be redoubtable in "boxing as well as cross country. running. His was the last bout of the evening and his ability brought about the only less for the In- niskillings for he took a well earn- ed win from Fusilier Donaghy.
