beautiful race, but was forced back to seventh at the finish.
   Poor old New York labored consistently in the ruck, sloshing back and forth from ninth place to eleventh and finally ending up in ninth, darned glad not to be a tailender. Loan "racing experts" assert that New York was too heavily handicapped at the outset with her $900,000,000 quota to show her best form.
   The final score at midnight Saturday, with returns still coming in, shows that the Minneapolis Federal Reserve district is first with 33 per cent oversubscribed, St. Louis second with 33 per cent, Kansas City third with 25, Boston fourth with 13, Philadelphia and Chicago fifth and sixth with 10 each, Dallas seventh with five, and San Francisco eighth with two. New York is ninth with its percentage undetermined, and Richmond, Cleveland and Atlanta come next in order named, all three claiming oversubscriptions.

[By Cable to THE STARS AND STRIPES.]
NEW YORK, May 9. --Admirers of the well-known and popular human form are greatly cheered by the growing mass of news about women swimmers challenging back and forth across the continent, promising a gorgeous mermaid season calculated to out-Annette Annette at her mightiest. Among the female of the species, the one-piece suit promises to be as popular this summer as the issue O.D. is among the male. 
   Added to that, the admirers of the w.-k. and p. human form had a real treat out in California when 200 Golden West girls started and 148 finished in a seven mile road race near 'Frisco.
