NEW YORK, November 1.-THE in
cident which attracted most attention
in today's dealings on the curb mar
ket was the declaration Of only 80
dividend by directors of the Illinois
Pipe Line, a Standard Oil subsidiary.
This group had been subjected to
more or less selling during the early
hours, but when this action became
known Standard OIL stocks fell sharp
ly, especially the pipe line issues.
In November. 1922. Illinois Pipe
Line distributed semi,annual divi-
dend of So, thereby increasing the
rate from S12 to SIC. On June 80 last
they paid the usual semi-annual.
When 1t became known soon after
midday that only SO had been de-
clared the stock broke over 1s points
from 1471s, the Wednesday closing.
Prairie Pipe Line promptly lost 2
points, to S5. Northern Pipe came off

STERLING LOWEST

1922. The drop represents largely
sterling" as 1t is expressed here. and
is viewed with some concern as to
whether the decline is yet finished.
When the scare over the talked of
imitation as a means of reviving bust
ness was allayed by official contradic-
ton 1t was hoped that sterling would
recover, which 1T did for time. but
a fresh slide started with the recent
fears of a general election and when
the actual decision to dissolve parlia-
ment was announced q further reac-
ton occurred.
Much Stock Thrown Over.
American, continental and British
financial institutions and private In
dividuals started unloading British
fearing the possible effect on capital
should a labor government he in
stalled. The proceeds Of these sales
were invested in dollar securities,
which depressed the sterling rate
further, while the almost daily shift
ing of fair sized balances from
London to New York. where the
money is employed to better ad-
vantage at a higher rate than that
ruling here as we'll as under safer
conditions, accelerated the decline to
the present level.
Heavy payments for grain. cotton
and canned goods always affect the
rate at this time of the year, but not
usually to such an extent as now,
and exchange as well as banking
concerns have no confidence that the
maximum fall in sterling has yet
been reached. in view Of the uncer-
tainty regarding the outcome Of the
elections and absence Of signs of
any settlement OF the political tur-
moil on the continent.
Every decline in the cable transfer
rate gives the government additional
cause for worry In its preparations
for payment of the interest on the
American debt. and the question Is
being asked in the market II the
authorities will find 1t necessary to
make the bank rate effective by
raising the treasury's borrowing rate
of interest and II this Is not suf1-
cfent, to make another advance in the
bank rate to correct the situation
until more settled conditions prevail
in Europe and elsewhere.
More than the usual interest was
displayed around the Bank OF Eng
land today. where the f1nanciers Gag
erly awaited the result Of the meet
ing OF the board of directors regard
inC the bank rate. The rate, how
ever remained unchanged.

New Racing Shell
Designed by Hoover

Duluth, May 11.-(By A. P.)-
American and European rowing eX-
perts of the old school, who devoted
much time to criticizing Walter
Hoovers peculiar boat and his "unor-
thodoX" style of sculling. are going to
have something new to talk about, for
the worlds sculling champion is hav-
ing another new type shell built.
Hoover hopes to use the boat when he
defends his title against Paul Costello,
national champion, here June 8.
The new shell, which is designed by
Hoover, will be shorter and lighter
than his other boats. He expects to
develop even greater speed than last
summer when he won the Phila-
delphia gold challenge cup. and then
went to England and captured the
Diamond Souls event at the English
Henley.
The shell will be "a feet long and
will weigh approximately 80 pounds
This is three feet shorter and three
pounds lighter than the old shell.
The boat will be narrower as we'll as
shorter, but Hoover has found that
with a fuller bow and deeper body
this will be counteracted. Hoover
believes the saving of seven percent
of skin friction will prove a big adj
vantage toward developing greater
speed.

"Her Husbands Wife,

The three act comedy entitled
''Her Husbands Wife" was present
ed on Thursday and Friday evenings
in Memorial hall under the auspices
of the Harry G. Decker Post, Ameri-
can Legion. The hall was well filled
OH both evenings. Ice cream was on
sale and at the close of the entertain
mcnt Friday evening a social dance
was held.
The play was laughab7e and held
the interest of all from beginning to
end. The scene was laid in Saratoga
and all three acts took place in the
drawing room of the Randolphs dur
ing the racing season at the Spa.
The part of Stuart Randolph. n good
looking husband, was taken by Har-
ley Mairs; Richard Belden, his broth
erin law, Homer Lothrop; John
Belden, the genial uncle of Irene and
Richard, was taken by Willard Brier,
who impersonated the part of an old
gentleman to perfection; Irene RAN
dolph, wife of Stuart, who imagines
she is i'll and picks out n future wife
for her husband, Miss Alice Manter;
Emily Ladew, her friend. in whom
she confides and eXacts q promise to
marry Stuart, Miss Georgia Young
man; the part of Daggett, n family
relic, was we'll taken by Dean c.
Peacock.
Irene becomes jealous of her hus-

unknown to Irene is already in love
and engaged to her brother, Richard
Belden. After considerable contro-
versy and with the help of her uncle,
John Belden. matters are straight
ened out and the story ends well.

$4,000 Purse for
1923 Derby Winners

Louisville, May 11.-(by "A. P)-
The forty ninth renewal of the Ken
lucky Derby already has set several
new records. although America
greatest race is still more than
week away. The nominees, number
ing las, far exceed all previous totals,
the nearest approach being the 1O9
mark of 1920. With a possible II
starters, the race will be worth
$4,000 in addition to the winner
gold plate valued at $500.
For the first time in its history the
Derby will be run on the second Sat-
urday of the meet, instead of the
opening day. This change was de-
cided on to avoid conflict with the
Preakness. another famous race, at
Pimlico, Maryland.
AS for the records which may be
evenly balanced fields in many years
will face the barrier on the afternoon
of May 10.
The possible $4,000 purse this year
is quite a contrast with that of the
first Derby in 1875, when Aristdes
established by the horses themselves,
indications are that one of the most
romped home ahead of the field to
win $3.50.
Seating arrangements have been
made to take care of 10000 persons
Standing room where the Derby can
be seen from terraced steps and
promenades can easily take care of
$4,000. The others will have to take
pot-luck from the fields or roofs OF
adjoining stables and buildings.
The Keene Brothers Alice Blue
Gown has many followers on the
strength of her two-year-old record
! for speed and gameness.

come into recent notice by winning
the inaugural Handicap at Bowie.

the most striking in appearance in
the history Of the Derby. E. r.

filly given high rating by the experts.

"Fore!"
That Is familiar exclamation to
anyone coached in the language of
golf and will be heard this afternoon
at the fairways of the Augusta
Country club. when the Bowdoin
college golfers come to Augusta to
meet the Country club men in an
opening contest for their seasons
schedule.
BY winning the battle with Bates
on their home diamond yesterday
the University of Maine nine tied
with the former college in the State
series. each having a game to their
credit. and each having lost two
games. These two teams are also
tied for second place in the State
series.
Pete" Burrill looks good for the
hurdles at the intercollegiate meet
at Orono today. and from his show
ing in the Pennsylvania relay carni-
val some weeks ago and in the
Bates-New Hampshire State dual
meet at Bates last Saturday he
should be a sure bet in this event.
Burrill is the son of Fred W. Bur-
rill, superintendent of schools in Au-
gusta. and is a member of the Bates
student body.
AS the Cleveland-New York game

of the day, lastly in place. though
not least in interest is the Milk Fund
fight at Madison Square Gardens

Willard making a comeback will be
