OF total transactions. those in Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific. aggregat-
ing 10000 shares, formed more than
fifth. In a market which is declared to
be rising on the force of investment
buying such a circumstance invites
further explanation, which was furnish
ed yesterday in the argument that both
OF the issues referred to were now to
be regarded as investment securities,
not of the same class. but both of a
kind that are bought by the thrifty and
far-sishted and held in strong boxes for
years or decades. Necessarily, the
greater part of the 10000 shares of
transactions in Union Pacific was not
of the Investment kind, and the same
is to be said of all the other active
stocks, for investors are not in the ha bit
OF treading on each others heels
reaching for stocks after they have
advanced some distance from recent
low levels. The best opinion is that the
volume of genuine investment orders
executed the past week would not in
themselves have caused a perceptible
advance in the market but that un-
doubtedly some stocks have heen SO
disposed of, which means that they
are. out Of the market. leaving cash in

REGATTA NOTES
OF THE HUDSON
Courtney Refuses to Allow
Cornell a Captain.

POUGHkEEPSIE, June z.-The fact
that Cornell is without q Captain this
year, has caused considerable gossip, as
1t Is said that Courtney's position at
ithaca Is gradually becoming so Gar
like that he is opposed to allowing any
one to have any say besides himself
During the winter Charley Bosch was
elected captain. but shortly afterward
he resigned and since that time no sue
cessor has been chosen. Coach Courtney
is opposed to having any captain for
any of his three crews, and while there
is a report about town that an election
will be held on the eve of the race, the
general opinion is that the Ithacans will
go to the mark without leader.
If this Is true it will be the third sue
cessive year that the Cornell varsity
has gone to the mark without u. captain.
Two seasons ago the captain could not
make the eight, and last year Bert Cof-
fin was taken sick shortly before the
race, with the result that the coxswain
directed the work during the big event
Chris Cox, of Washington, the former
Central High School football and base
ball player and quarter-rniler. is strok-
ing the Cornell freshman eight. AL
though this is his first season IN a shell,
he made good at the start. At the
American Henley at Philadelphia last
month he set the pace for the first year
men in the race in which they estab-
lished new record, and since that time
he has improved in his work until he
has earned lavish praise from Coach
Courtney.
Joe Shriver, the Georgetown coxswain
who held the tiller ropes in the race
two years ago, in which the Blue and
Gray finished second. has taken on SO
much weight that he is by far the heav-
lest coxswain in any of the shells. His
weight is given out as lbs pounds, but
he actually tips the scale at about 13S
pounds. Although this is by far heav-
Ter than the average coxswain. Shriver {
weight is not considered big handi-
cap as might Seenl,f as the Georgetown
shell is so built that 1t will require great
weight toward the stern to keep the
rudder in the water and the nose well
| in.
Although Coach Ten Eyek, of Syra-
cuse, declines to admit that he has a
record d-breaking crew. it is stated on
good authority that the time made on
home waters by this years outfit was
much faster than the actual time made
last year by the eight that won so cas-
! lily. Because of considerable adverse
| criticism Ten Eyck is showing little con-
sidera ton for the newspaper men and
only a couple of the large number of
scribes that infeSt this town at present
| have watched the work of Ten Eyck' s
men from the Syracuse launch.
! Al Frazer, the Columbia stroke. is
/ considered by the alumni oarsmen OF
| that institution the best stroke oar
| that has set pace for Gotham var
sity crew since Neizers' crew made such
! a fine showing in 1901. For the pas
couple of years Columbia strokes have
| been rather inferior, and now that the
| work of Frazier is satisfactory, the
| followers of the Light Blue and White
| are rather hopeful and expect their
| favorites to be a factor in the race

as follows:
