The story OF to-day's stock specula-
ton can be summed up briefly. The
volume OF business was excited by only
few thousand shares, the holiday re-
cord Of Saturday. The movement OF
prices was irregular aud a heavy tone
was evident throughout. The dealings
were almost entirely professional. the
traders taking their cue from the lower
London prices, There appeared TO be a
dearth OF commission orders and the
market made only an Indifferent rally
on the news that the committee OF for
eign exchange houses had submitted n
plan for controlling the exchange stu
alton for the next ninety days, which
had been formally approved by all of
the representative banking interests.
The attitude OF London as a seller was
reported to be partly due to the unfa-
vorable reports OF general trade In this
country to the increasing gravity Of
the rate situation In the south
The opening was fairly active and
weak at declines extending to IL. per
cent. a moderate rally ensued soon
after the initial sales. At the recovery
the trading became very dull. In the
last hour realizing sales caused n gem
eral reaction and the market closed
heavy in tone with prices fractionally
lower than Saturday. In some instances
the declines reached point or more.
Railway bonds We're sluggish and
weak on renewed offerings for foreign
account. The sales were $4,000.
Governments were quiet and irregular
with an easier tendency. The sales were
$4,000.

THE COURSE AND QUARTERS

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
HENLEY. England. June "a. 1896.
The very name brings up before ones
mind the image of a spot abounding in
beauty and fascination As many have
said who have seen 1t and know its charm,
Henley is beyond description.
1t is here at this beautiful Henley. in one
OF it's most picturesque spots. that the
sons of old Eli have their quarters. When
first they were ushered into their new
home by the town mayor himself they
could not find words to express their ad-
miration.
The whole place was so different from
what they had anticipated, and so very
different from the old home at Captain
Browns hcuse. on the American Thames.
The lawns. the strawberries and the ar
tistically arranged flower beds put one In
stantly IN mind of the fanciful Ideals of
bis childhood days The men had never
once thought of seeing anything like the
artistic hallway, the comfortable library,
Well-stCcked with books; the dainty draw
ing room looking out upon the lawn. ana
the light anG airy bed rooms. which greet
ed them upon their entrance But what
pleased them most was the large dining
room, with Its long table covered with
snow-white linen and beautiful flowers.
1t did rot take them long to draw up the
leather-cus hioned chairs and attack the
large cold roasts of beef and mutton. which
constituted their first lunch on English
soil.
When their hunger was appeased they be-
gan to look about In a more inQuisitive and
critical mood. The artistic appearance Of
the hall quickly vanished. The marble busts
of Psyche and Napoleon were adorned with
new red caps, while the old carved oak
chairs and settles were piled with coats and
wraps. From college mans standpoint
the appearance was much improved. but
the old English butler looked on in horror.
Groups OF men went about on tours Of in
vcstigation. Some looked over the books In
the library and examined the electric lights
Qhey had been told that candles were the
only lights used at Henley. Others found

principally the finish and catch. The pair
oar is never off its bottom, and since there
are only two men. besides MIR. Cook, the
various parts of the stroke may be prac-
ticed after a manner which would be i'm
possible IN the eight. Mr.. Cook says that
1t Is in the pair-oar that the men learn
how they ought to row. When they go out
in the eight they are expected to employ
the principles thus acquired. The morn

condition, and as hungry wolves for their
1 o'clock lunch.
The period after lunch is the longest
that they have to themselves. This Is en-
ployed by some in making short bicycle
trips into the neighboring country, while
others play tennis walk into town or read.
Fearing that the men might slip and
wrench some part of their body, Captain
Treadway thought 1t wiser for the regular
members of the crew to discontinue play

Importance, and which mainly characterizes
each she'll is the arrangement of the seats
and foot braces. In the English shell these
are placed on alternate sides, each man
sitting well to the side opposite his oar
lock. The advantage derived from this ar
rangement Is the increased leverage on the
oar. While In the Yale boat the men sit
directly over the keel in a straight line,
thus enabling them to keep better time
end the boat more steady, with the still
greater advantage of freedom in arranging
men. AT first sight one would say that the
English have the advantage. but when he
examines more closely and sees with what
evenness the Yale shell glides through the
water. he changes to doubt. This can only
be decided by the approaching races, and
then not certainly.
The Course.
The English critics (for all the people
about Henley. from the youth in knee
bIeeches to the old man, is a rowing
critic) have watched the Yale crew at prac-
tice from the bridge, and soon came to call
them by this unique name, 1.-The Yankee
Bee-liners." The course. upon which Yale
has practiced for three weeks. and which
is to witness the greatest aquatic event in
her history. is in the town of Henley. This
Is the only point In the upper Thames
which permits Of straight-away course of
over mile: This covers distance Of
one mile $50 yards, and is practically
straight away, there being only two slight
turns early in the course. The races are
rowed up stream against slight current,
thus bringing the finish close to the Henley
bridge. which becomes a most desirable
place from which to see the regatta.
AS one looks up the course from the
bridge he gets clear view of Regatta
Island at the extreme end. 1t is on the
left-hand side of this that the start Is
situated. but this is almost invisible from
the bridge. on account Of the trees which
II ickly line the left bank. To the right one
looks upon fields and pastures. with here
and there beautiful home. This Is called
''Berks Side" But on the left one sees a
greater number and finer residences, with
more thickly wooded lands. This is called
Bucks Side" both the names being de-
rived from their respective counties, which
the Thames separates.

They rise from their comfortable beds af

jump into 2 few light clothes and take a

those who wish 1t. Breakfast finished, they
resort to the library. to read the mornings s
news and write home letters. At 10 o'clock
they are called out by twos for pair-oar
work. simpson and Brown are generally

Goode introduced Gen. Joseph B. Doe as
