At 1:05 the crews took positions at the starting point. Cornell was wildly cheered, Yale's supporters were enthu siastic, but Harvard's friends were no out victorious. The crews got off promptly without a hitch. At the end of the first mile Cornell was leading Yale, half a length with Harvard wo length behind. At second mile Cornell and Yale held the same positions with Harvard three lengths behind, and Cornell was pull ing away from Yale who was rowing strong. At the third mile Cornell was two lengths ahead and Harvard four lengths behind Yale. Cornell won three lengths ahead of Yale, while Har vard was five lengths behind Yale. Cornell's time was twenty four minutes even. The weather conditions for the race were the best, the water was as smooth as glass and not a breath of wind stirred.

All points have re sponded to the telegrams of Adjutant General Cowles and it is now a settled face that if equipment can be obtained by that time the men will be hurried to Fort Macon, enlisted, examined, and sworn into the service of the United States. The officers have been selected as was stated In the Times-Visitor more than a week ago and there are two very desirable positions that, while the lucky men have not been named their home counties have been announced and the appointment is merely a matter of num ber of recommendations from republi cans in the county. There will be sixteen towns repre sented in the seven new companies as follows: Three solid companies of 106 men each, with full complement of officers will be accepted as follows: Charlotte Gray Toole, Captain.

So far as is possible to ascertain it appears that the following officers will be appointed: Colonel James H. Young, of Raleigh. Lieutenant Colonel C. S. L. A. Tay lor, of Charlotte. Major First Battalion Andrew J. Haywood, of Raleigh. Possibly James E. Hamlin. Major Second Battalion To Halifax county. Major Third lia,ttalkm To Edge combe county. There may be some other regimental office given to Edgecombe county, but in case three battalions are formed the irograiame above mentioned will be carried out. Raleigh will probably have the su perior representatives in this regiment. it. H.

The Raleii'h I'.anks Issue a Circular to Their Depositors. The depositors in the banks of this lity are now receiving the following i ircular from the banks patronized by Ihcm : "We beg to call your attention to the fact thai the recently enacted 'War lit venue Law" requires that every check, draft or order for payment of money bear a two-cent stamp. Failure to affix this stamp before issuing check subjects to a penalty of J2'1i and im prisonment for six months. This pen alty applies not only to the drawer, but to the bank or individual paying or accepting such unstamped paper. We think best thus to call especial atten tion to this, so that our customers may avoid this penalty by affixing stamp, in every instance, before Issuing check. The law goes into effect on July 1st, IMS. It is stated that the several Revenue Offices will be supplied with s-tamps before that time. Very respectfully.
