Cornell Rows Ovor the Course at Henley
without a Competitor.
HENLEY. on THAMES, July TO- - The
first day of the fifty-sixth anniversary Of
the water Derby of Great Britain was
disappointment to all concerned. Cornell
was pitted against tho crow of tho Lee
ander Boat club composed of ex-Oxford
and ex-Cambridge oarsmen, and said to
be the strongest on the river. There was
some confusion at the start owing to the
presence near the starting line of num-
Der of boats which seriously interfered
with the Leander. Consequently the lat
ter were somewhat slow in getting into
position.
When the umpire said go" the Lean
der crew claims that 1t was not ready, and
had so informed the umpire, who on the
other hand says he understood the Lean
der crew to say it was ready. Cornell con-
sequently rowed over the course. 1t could
not have done otherwise unless 1t was
very Quixotic, but the Leander crew is
very bitter, and declares that Cornell
should have stopped when it saw that
Leander was not coming. The affair has
left very bad feeling on all sides.

CINCINNATI, July s-Hon. w. j. Bry-
an, of Nebraska, spoke on bimetallism
upon the invitation Of the Cincinnati
Chamber of Commerce. He spoke fully
two hours to an audience most Of which
was not in sympathy with him. The APP
plause of his distinctive free coinage ar
guments came from the workingmen.
Nevertheless the entire audience gavo him
profoundly respectful and admiring at
tention, and greeted some brilliant pas
sages in his speech with great applause.
A gold standard interlocutor in the
audience gave him frequent opportunity
for brilliant repartee. He criticised SEQ
rotary Carlisle's five propositions made at
Bowling Green and made his usual direct
argument An interlocutor in the audi
ence said: Statesmen may change their
minds" Bryan replied: "They may
change their hearts, but having once
uttered an eternal truth they cannot
make it follow them In their false me-
anderings'
