Astoria. Seaside excursion tomorrow, Thura- daTrAueust sim:iwtih(i trip to cent. A special train will leave at I a. m returning at 5 p m. and will arrive In Astoria In time for the evening train and boAta, The streets were alive with people until a late hour last night. There were a number of arrivals who found it Im possible to obtain accommodations, ani loafed at the sample rooms and hotels until morning. The queen will appear at the grand stand this morning promptly at 10 o'clock. The young ladies who are act ing as maids of honor are requested to meet her majesty at the Main street dock as early as half past nine. The British ship Bothwell left Port land yesterday morning, wheat laden for Q'l-enstown for orders. She Is ex pected to arrive this evening unless delayed by grounding along the river. Her cargo consists of 123.43 bushels of wheat, valued at $73,000. The management of the, street rail way is to be congratulated on the beautiful and artistic decorations of Its cars. The electric Illuminations at right are exquisitely designed and have occasioned many complimentary remarks on the part of both cltitens and visitors. Al Lean, the 'celebrated trainer for the F-erkley crew, will give an exhibi tion on a barge In front of the grand stand today, consisting of wrestling and acrobatic specialties. Mr. Lean will also engage in a four-round boxing I contest, if any one pugtllsttcatly in clined can be found to 'ace him. No admission will be charged to the land sports given by the regatta com mittee at the A. F. C. grounds, com mencing at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Whether this applies to the baseball match scheduled for today, under the auspices of the football club, could not be learned at a late hour last night. At 10: SO o'clock today, Richard Earl ston, the world-famed aeronaut, will make a balloon ascension at some point ' on the water front contiguous to the i grand stand. The curious will be at- I'UIHJ "I MMgV .1 U 111 lT I , wt& IUCIC M no spectacle more Inspiring or more PCengant with peril than a flying voy age to the region of cloud. The Chinese barge race was by no means the least attractive of the many engaging events yesterday. Indeed, there was more cheering attendant on this contest than any other. The celes tials carried several instruments of torture with them, and whn any evi dences of sluggishness were apparent, the oarsmen wore harrassed with In strumental music In a way that quickly drove them to desperate work with the paddles again. While he has not so expressed himself in words, there la every reason to be lieve that Champion Swimmer Howard Brewer secretly contemplates a libel suit for the fiendish and cruel carica ture of himself which appeared in yesterday's Issue of a sunset contem porary. According to the discrimina ting judgment of a friend, the picture looked like an Indian tobacco sign, carved by a fuvenlle Stwash. Mr. Brewer was 111 last night The sky-scraping pile driver was towed Into position In front of the grand stand yesterday, and an exhibi tion of high diving given by the Cal. athletes. Howard Brewer and J. Red lean were the star performers. Mr. Brewer was the hero In several lofty plunges, while in one Instance, Mr. Redlcan mounted to an upper platform and poising for a moment, shot down-1 ward like an arrow a distance of (5 feet. The achievement brought forth long I and hearty applause. The Walter L. Main shows which will i exhibit at Astoria, Saturday, Septem- her 2, has the only horse back riding pony In the world. This charming lit tle spotted Shetland pony has been trained to ride two horses at the same time and Is known by the name of Canandlagua; It Is the most wonderful and artistic performance of an efljies- j train pony. Tou may never have an other chance of seeing the rarest of novel scenes, so bring the children to see the cute little pony; tneir pleasure will repay you. The Edward Shields Company gave an interesting and enjoyable concert on the water front at 8 o'clock last night The moving pictures were an especial feature. Helen Lamar recited a short story and Chas. H. Whitney was loudly applauded for his two il lustrated songs. Mr. Shields tour of Manila and the Philippines was very entertaining, and the crowd was dis appointed when he was obliged to close on account of an accident to his instru ment The company will appear again tonight in an entire change of program. The United States cruiser Badger ar rived In yesterday from San Francisco and proceeded direct to Portland with out stopping. She was given an ova tion on passing the grand stad, which was acknowledged by several toots from her whistle. The Badger will take on board the First and Second companies, naval butallion, Oregon national guard at Portland and will proceed at once to sea for a two day's cruise, after which the Badger will re turn to this harbor and the companies will engage In target practice for a few days. The men of both companies will embark at Portland. The officers of the Badger are. Commander James Miller, lieutenant commander, J. B. Milton; lieutenants, T. D. Griffin, W.

A team of horses attached to a light wagon, took fright on Bond street yes terday, and dashed at a furious speed south on Eleventh street. The run away left groceries and a scattered case of soda pop In lta trail, the lat ter much to the delight of a crowd of thirsty lads who lost little time In testing their quality. When opposite the water office on Eleventh and Lili an streets, the wagon parted com pany with the horses and one of the animals fell It was thought that the exciting episode was closed at this point, hut the horse regained Its feet, and the flight continued until both were lost to view beyond the summit of the hills. The owners name was not reported. An animated game of baseball at tracted a fair si led crowd to the A. F. C. grounds yesterday. The contest ing nines were the Multnomuhs, who hail from Portland, and the A. F. C. boys of this city. The batteries for the respective clubs, were McMusters, W hltvhouse and Zan for the Mult nomahs and Crosuy, McDermott and Girurd for the local club. Time was called sharp at Y.30. The husky sluggers from the Willamette, who have been In constant practice, proved too agile for the home aggregation, and the game closed with a score of ID to t In favor of the former. The Atorians are confident that with a trifle more of training, they can make the Portlanders look like a row of wooden babies. HarVy Trinwlth has expressed him self strongly in reference to an evening paper's statement explaining his non appearance in diving and swimming specialties as advertised to take place In front of the grand stand yesterday. He states that the real reason of his failure to participate la that the suit necessary to a becoming presence, failed to arrive as be had sanglunely expected. Mr. Trlnwlth's many friends will regret this embarrassment, and sympathize the more deeply when it is stated that none of the local con cerns carry a material, either suffici ently ample or delicate In texture to meet his requirements. He wishes to announce, however, that at an early date, the exhibition will be given as originally advertised. Two of Billy Chance's Shoalwater Indians had a scrap last night The pttrtles to the altercation were an Irate husband and helpless wife. The rup ture occurred about 10 o'clock at the Wigwam, and resulted In the squaw loosing her temper and a part of her face. In the general melee and war dance which followed, her better half effected his escape. Policeman Slnnott, at Mr. Chance's suggestion, took the wife and baby to the lock up to shield them from further Jeopardy. The child was crying dolefully at 2 o'clock this morning. "I am looking for that noble Red Man," said Policeman Slnnott to a reporter, "and If I catch him, I'll jug him and let the poor woman out. If I should release her, however, and the two should meet again one of their scalps would be missing before day light. I know them of old." The steam schooner North Star ar rived yesterday from the cannery of the Alaska Fishermen's Packing Com pany at Bristol bay, Alaska. The North Star is In command of Captain G. P. Hansen, and John Carlson, sup erintendent of the cannery, is In charge of her engine room. The steamer left Bristol bay August 12, and had a smooth passage on the way down. She has 11 men on board belonging to the company and one passenger, Chris Hill, superintendent of the Pacific Steam Whaling Company, of San Francisco. Suoerlntendent Carlson says the North Star towed the bark Harry Morse to sea the day before the steamer left Bristol bay. The Morse j has on board the season's pack and the j fishermen and Chinamen who have j been there during the season. The I Morse is expwted to arrive In Astoria j about September 10th. Superintendent Carlson says the company has had a j very successful season and the pack Is i up to expectations. This season was the first experience of the? company in j parking Alaska salmon and the pros- I pects, Mr. Carlson nays, are very bright for next year, when more ex- I tensive preparations will be made for i an Increased pack. On the arrival of 1 the Morse In Astoria, the flBhermen, j who number about 50, will be paid off at the head office here. There are 75 ! Chinamen also on board. The Morse will discharge her cargo Immediately j on arriving here. The season's paok j has already been sold and will be ship-1 ped by rail from Astoria to Its destl- I nation.

ChemiUMS M. A. A. C. amcs Called at j:jo. Adml.lon jjc WEATHER FAVORED THE SPORTS OF TESTEUDAT. The Many Events on Program Pulled Off Without a Hitch-Laws Crowds Present. A (Waning sun and an ature sky wer j lacking aa features of the second day of the great water carnival. A murky j strata of threatening cloud hung I high above the city from early morn , till the twinkling lights gemmed the darkness at nightfall. But It didn't rain. While the canopy above was menacing. It Is said that the regatta committer, angered at the despicable conduct of the storm on Monday, wait ed on Weather Prophet Johnson and explaining It he situation, threatened for him consequences of a direful na ture in case one drop of moisture was permitted to de.tcend and mar the pro ceedings of Tuesday. Mr. Johnson was Intimidated. He retired In pri vate with his barometer, studied Its fluctuations, and serm'tly forced up ward th mercury to a trustworthy notch ahiVthe mean height. Then he appeared with a buoyant air and ppimled a day of unwonted qunllty. While the blue of heaven was to he effaced. It was simply that the sparkle of the sun might not flare In the river ard 'h.Mvby daxile the eyes of the competing oarsmen. Of course the commltte was delighted. The crowd was satisfied, for It came out In great number. Moodlng the grand stand and pouring over onto the stretching ex panse of the dock on either side. Everybody was happy. Jokes wens cracked, bantering humor assailed the enr, and laughter and applause punc tured the buxxlng hubbub, which ebbed and flowed with the recurrence of the events. There was an Incident which Influ enced the general gnyety, however an unexpected happening that almost re solved Itself Into a tragedy. The meri mrnt was at Its height The exercises were progressing to the pleasure and gratification of all, when a boat, man ned by a farmer, and carrying his daughter, drifted from beneath the grand stand and found Its way Into a perilous position on the line of the course. Thore was hooting from the lnndlng, and shouts of "clear the track." which rattled th poor country, man and caused his daughter to spill her sunshade, which went floating away on the water. Although defi cient In the art of rowing, the old man was determined to rescue the headgear. He arose, stumbled forward, and In his clumsiness upset the girl, who scream ed and floundered over the railing. The father described one or two evolutions, and grasped the helpless maiden by the waist ripping It loose and relieving her of su.-h apparel as is usually con ventlinal In public. The fair creature would no doubt have perished, had not an acquain tance leaped from the dock and swam valiantly to her side. She was taken In tow by the hair and finally dragged safely again Into the boat The high diver, who was poising In midair, pre paratory to n haxardous plunge, be came excite 1 and fell headlong from his ierch. 8. J. Pembroke, who Is the Moshi of the visiting California oars-' men. claims that the event was pre mediated and that himself and cham pion Howard Brewer were the authors. But their story Is not as yet substanti ated, and the observers will be loth to believe that a circumstance so fraught with danger can In any manner be construed as a hair-raising prank. The muslo was admirable. The First Reg iment Rand occupied the pavilion and discoursed a repertory of populnr se lections., while the Astoria organiza tion played aboard both, the Manzanlta and the Columbine. Doubtless the most beautiful and pleasing of the program numbers was the marine parade of the regatta queen. This event was announced for two o'clock and the staunch steamer Columbine was chosen for the royal function. At the hour mentioned, the boat was loosened from her moorings at the lower dock, and with the queen on the aft deck, attended by her maldrf of honor, and a notable company of Invited guests forward, she steamed northward on the river, and traveling a graceful cresent, made fast at the grand stand, where the sovereign and her retinue were duly escorted to the throne of the pavilion, The spectacle was an enlivening one, and Incited tnt onlookers to a high pitch of enthusi asm. The diversions of the day were by no means limited to the printed list on the official circular. Early in the fore noon, a boys' swimming race was sandwiched between the regulnrly chronicled aquatic amusements. The entries were Tommy Ross, Joe Han son and a youth whom the spokesman Introduced as an unknown, from the far-off lands of the antipodes. The youngsters when lining up, seemed anxious for the contest, and required the sharpest of coaching to restrain them from breaking In an uneven start. At a given signal, the trio shot for ward, and with splashing and clashing Continued on page three.
