.YESPERS BEATEN
BY THE LEANDERs
British Oarsmen Were Too Strong
for the Grew from Phila-
III delphia.

Henley, Eng, July 5.-The weather was SPLEEN
did for the struggle between the Vespers and
Leanders. This was the first race of the day
and widespread interest taken in 1t was evil
denced by the large crowds that congregated
long before the hour for the start.
The Phtladelphtans arrived at the boathouse at
1920, all feeling At and full of 60. They
launched their boat and set off on a paddle at
11:45, amidst encouraging shouts from big
gathering of their compatriots and the friendly
cheers of the Britishers. The slight breeze
had the Berkshire side, a little advantage in
position. The Americans shortly before the time
set for the rowed up to the starting line,
but the Leanders' shell was brought up by the
outsiders, the British crew driving up to the
starting point in carriages and embarking thence.
Got Away Together.
AS the boats came up to the line preparatory
to the start the British oarsmeen seemed the
more composed Of the two crews. - =
The boats got away together, but the nervous
ness Of the Philadelphians was shown in the
splashipg which marked their first half dozen
Strokes. In the last quarter the Vespers made
a desperate squirt and Exley quickened his
stroke rapidly. The Americans responded ant
their boat gradually forged up until only three
quarters of a length separated the two prows
TIE effort, however, was futile. The Leanderi
had plenty in hand. They responded to thu
squirt Of their opponents and passed the winning
post a full length in front. Both crews fnishet
strong. (:

Hired Trunks,
panion.

A dealer in trunks and travelling
bags in New York tells of an odd
business which he does in summer.
The vacation goer who has no trunk
or valise hires one. New trunks, OF
course. cannot be had on lease. Only
the second hand ones are thus let
out. "You scc," said the dealer,
"there are a good many young PEG
ple-clerks, statesmen, stenograph-
ers, male and female-that want a
vacation of only a week or so, and
they don't care about going to the
expense Of buying valise or a
trunk. Borrow? Oh, yes, they could
borrow, l suppose, but you know
what opinion people have OF trunk
borrowers, especially in vacation
time" He rents trunks for 81 a
week; bags for so cents.
