Yet, without meaning to detrac, one whit of glory from Navy: smashing triumph in the varsit, race here yesterday and giving the Middies full credit for their form and power, it seems to this write, that Cornell and not the Navy should be 1891 intercollegiate var sity rowing champions of the coun- try today.
 Big Mistake.
 What we mean is that Cornell, despite the fact that it finished a length and half back of Navy, looked to be the strongest crew on the river. It was the concensus of the experts that Cornelrs failure to begin it's drive at the two and half miles mark instead of the three mile flag, cost Jim Wray's boatload its second successive Poughkeepsie regatta. Moreover 1t seemed that the 1thacans were entirely too ab- sorbed in the progress of Syracuse, their lone neighbor far out in the river. They seemed to be laboring under the impression that Syracuse, not Washington nor Navy, was the crew to beat.
 When the leader flashed under the railroad bridge marking the three mile point Cornell, two lengths behind, realized it's mistake and cut loose with a drive that overhauled Washington, the boatload that set the pace from the start, and con- siderably reduced Navy's margin o1 safety.
 nrta ai ir1r est shell that finished.
 Nice Work, Navy.
 But they pay off on the winner and when the winner comes out of obscurity as did the navy it's a pleasure for the boys to pay off.
 Make no mistake about it, navy sent a real crew out on the Hudson yesterday. If you don't believe it the Middies time of IS minutes 54 IA seconds should convince you, for it is the fourth best time ever made in the long history of the regatta and less than 20 seconds slower than the all-time mark hung up by California's mighty 1928 outfit.
 The victory marked Navys first major triumph of the year. The Middies were defeated by Harvard, anu SytoSuSC, tiIo plS oiS appointment of yesterdays race, during the regular season. Their lone victory was scored at the ex- pense of Massachusetts Tech.
 Experts Wrong Again.
 If Syracuse was the biggest dis appointment of the regatta, Co., lumbia was close second, Dick Glendons Lions, 1929 champions, like Cornell and Washington, went to the post undefeated and were ex- pected to finish no worse than one, two, three. The best they could do was place seventh, a ripple ahead of untried Wisconsin. M. I. T. brought up the rear. California, the other far western entrant, took fourth money with Syracuse in fifth place and supposedly helpless Pennsylvania in sixth.
 Washington rowed beautiful race. That is the huskies set a nice pace, made no mistakes and were beaten simply because they didn't have the strength to match Cornell and Navy in that last mile.
 The varsity race was rowed in weather most miserable for the spectators but almost ideal for the oarsman. The heavy rain flattened the water and the shells had the help of fairly strong tide at their ails. There was little or no wind.

day continued its moderate de-
cline, underway since the begin

The Census Bureaus report on

about what was expected. The

consumed in the mills of the
United States during April
amounted to 5O8,744 running
bales, as compared with 49O,586
in March and 531,911 in April,

Transactions were in small
volume, with spot firms selling
July, which was we'll taken up by
price-fixing orders. New Orleans
sold distant months and scat
tered selling came from Liverpool
and the Continent. Cooperative
brokers bought December, Janu-
ary, and March, while Japanese
interests bought near months.
Wire houses and local traders
made covering purchases.
There was practically no rain
overnight in the cotton belt, with
