Rodgers & Hart, who can usually save any show from taking a nose dive, aren't quite able to save this one. Their score is agreeable enough, with a few good swinging tunes like Disgustingly Rich and How's Your Health. But it's their slimmest job in a number of years. Making her first U.

Schrader of Lehigh was a very strong wrestler, and neither he nor Daughaday could meet with a common form of wrestling.

Sailboats of all sizes raced at Glen Cove, L. I., in the annual regatta of the New York Yacht Club. The tallest, slimmest and most famous of them all, Harry Payne Whitney's Vanitie, always sails against the Resolute and often wins. This time it won but was disqualified for failing to cross the starting line properly. At Southport, Conn., Princeton beat Yale and Harvard in a race of eight-metre boats...
