The Pallet Commercial Club ha
challenged for the Kehlrnhelmer trophy
ant the confer t will take place at the
Itoad Clnballeyt next Saturday evening,
at 8:110 o'clock. The D.l!c team It com
poaed of expert bowlura, and will make
a great efT-irt to capture the trophy.
The home team w ill be handicapped
from the fact that a couple of itt regular
team will lie unable to bowl, at it It im
possible to leave bualnett Saturday even
ing. The contest will in all probability
be cloae and exciting, and will undoubt
edly draw a large crowd of t pectatort
Oregonlan.
For alirne thia apring the fato of our
rofet teemed to bang In the balance, the
t?vere winter having nipped them to

there are not now lo many at In former

from here to Lafayette. A thort time
ago the wat taken to Hilltdale In hope
of benefiting her, tor the bat been very
ill for many montht. Several timet
have Mr. end Mrt. Fiah been called to
her bedtlde when It wat thought every
moment would be her laat ; but the end
came to gradually that they could not
tell when to telegraph for ber eon. Mr.
and Mre. Fiah will leave on the after

Sunday evening B. Campbell general

CIRCU3 DAY.
four Tbou.aad Vl.ltore la lb Clty-Aa
iKMfuu I'arada.
Talk about Fourth of July, firecracker,
peanut, and eaglnt. It may tound any
thing bnt patriotic, but It Ito'tin it with
client day, paradcr, balloont and clrcue
lemonade, talTy, chewing gum, beet
fellowt to twlng handt with, and nuru-
erout other enj j inenta attendant upon
tuch an auapiciout occation. If there't
one day above another that ought to be
a holiday itt circut day, and Itt cruelty
lo anlnmlt to keep ui thut up In offices,
Korea, thopt, etc., when the circut It in
town, for It It at much of a circct to be
on the ttreett at in the tent.
Pa equally at cruel at keeping the
children borne from the performance.
At David Ilamm ataerti, a tmall boy
will remember hit firtt circut if every
thing else It forgotten.
K very body wantt to ace the circut
old and young, little and big, tmall and
groat, and In tplte of the oft-repeated
attertiuii "I wanted to have tbe children
tee the thow; at far at I am concerned,
I've teen lott of tuch thingt an I they
nre all about the tame," the honest
truth it that it lealmoat an Imporeibility
for anyone to rciiat tbe novelty of it.
'Another aatertion that can't' be
proven it the one which brandt tho
circut at detrimental to a town, claim
ing that they take the money out of it.
True, they take a great deal ont ; but at
the tame time how much do they canae
to come InT Illuglinj Crot. ttopped
here mottly for the purpoao of feeding
and in that way they Individually leave
much here. Then the amount expended
by viailori will be enormoua, not alone
In bole) billt, but our ttoret bave been
crowded all day, and mutt necettarily
be the galnen thereby.
All day yesterday and today wagon
loadt of people were coming into the city
from every direction, tbo crowd com
ing down the brewery grade thit morn
ing reminded one of a proceeeton. Karly
laat evening every hotel and lodging
house wat crowded and bad to turn
people away, while many families
camped In tbe outskirtt of tbe city. It
le estimated that fully 4000 visitor! are
in town.
Somehow The Pallet forgot itfclf thit
lime and inttead ot dealing out the
nroal wind itoriu, even caused the tame
lo hide itt face to that we might be
more comfortable until after tbe
parade. From 6 in tbe morning the
ttreett have been crowded, and by 10,
at the parade began, It wat almott im
possible lo past along the tidewalkt.
At 4 o'clock tbe traint began to arrive
and many of our cititant were on the
grounds lo watch them onload, which
they tay wat most Interetting, every
thing being done In tuch an orderly
manner that by 8 o'clock teveral acrea
of ranvatt wat stretched and almost a
thousand meuibera of the aggregation
were eating breakfaat in Ibe large din
ing tent.
The parade which took place at 10 was
perhapt a mile long, and the best ever
teen In this city. Among the many
brilliant (futures were the neat animal
cages, the lour braie bands, one being
with a mounted cavalry troop, tbe 15
elephants, the camel caravan, the
chime of belli and the (creaming
calliope.
Immense crowds attended the per
formance thit afternoon; but at the
time of going to press we had no report
of it. However, j'lJging from tbe re
porta given by tho papera in La Grande,
Baker City and other placet where they
have thown, il it the beet ever given in
Oregon.
RIUHT KIND OF A CIRCUS.
Everyone Ilollghtad With the Perform,
anre A Clean ehow.
While a fairly large crowd attended
the circut Saturday night, it did not
compare with the number tiiat filled the
large auditorium in the afternoon, most
everyone preferring the afternoon per
formance at generally that of tbe even
ing la curtailed in their hurry to be ou
the move. Thit, however, did not teem
lo be the case with thit thow, and every
one wat delighted with the entire per
formance, the general verdict teeming
to lie that It wae the cleaneat, most
meritorious circut that bat ever visited
the city, being free from all gambling
dovicet, fakirs, etc., and the coarse jokes
to utual in the modern circut. Then,
too, everything moved off in tuch a
methodical way, one feature no eooner
being off tbe arena that another wat on,
causing no delay nor tlretome waitt.
Particularly noticable wat the fact that
the cottumet were to fresh looking and
In contrast with thote generally worn In
the ring. Then, too, tbe performert bad
not the jaded appearance tuch people
are wont to potteet. In fact It wat a
pleasure to feel that a circut can be
earried on wltbont the objectionable
featurea which bave alwayt been con
tldered a part of every tach thow.
It It Impossible to give more than a
patting mention of the different feature!
of the performance. Following tbe
grand entry there le deserving of epeclal
mention a feature of the Introduction.
II waa patriotic display that could not
fall to enthute any American andlenea.
Flrtt cama a band at the head ot a com
pany of German toldiert. To the ttralnt
of "Die Wacht Am Rheln" they
marched to a potltion In ona of the
rlnge. Neat cama a company of Brltith
toldlerato tba tana of "God Sara tba
iieen. France wae next with the
"Martelllet." Afterward came Japan
ese, Turks and other nationt. Last, the
thrill notet of fife and the roll of a drum
wat heard, and here came tome minute
men of ';, with a typlt-al Uncle Sam
leading. Behind theui came the best
hand of all, making the air tremulout
with the melody of "America," and at
the head of a squad of confederate!, a
squad of Union loldiert, with tailora and
inarinee. While all the. banot played
"The Star Spangled Banner," three
figuret appeared on tbe ttage.
They were Uncle Sam, Columbia.
and Cuhi In cbaint. After a pan
tomimic conversation, Uncle Sim ttruck
the thacklee from Cuba and raised ber
to a ttanding poiiiion and Confederate
and Union toldiert clasped bandt.
The parlor tumbling by lha Dacoma
family wat perhapsthe best work done,
unless it wat the taajxzj performance by
Millie Tumour.
Another mot exeel'ent feature wat
Prof. Lock han't herds of (raised ele
phantt. The trainer made those big
beaste do everything but talk. Their
tractabiilty wat marvelous. They
walked on their hind lege, danced, rat at
a table and ate a luncheon, and wben
musical Ini'rumeriti were given them,
nobody would hav been turprieed If
they had played the latest Sousa march.
They didn't quite do that, though.
What they did play wat probably tbe
national hymn of the jungle folks.
There wat a wonderiui herd of trained
borsee, any amount of high class ground
and lofty tumbling and trapen work,
contortion acta, alack aud tizht wire
performances, and hippodrome racet.
The menagerie and tide abowt were
well patronized.
"fihlpa That laaa la the Maht.
"Shlpt That Past in the Night" waa
the tubji-ct of a very eloquent and in
structive sermon delivered by Rev. Pol
ing at the Congregational church last
night.
Chooting at hit text the wordt of Job,
"My dayt are pasted away at a twift
ship," be then referred to the quotation
from Longfellow e "Talet of a Wayside
Inn," which waa the inspiration given
for the work by Beatrice Harradeo, en
titled "Shipa That Past in the Night,"
and are at fullowt: "Shlpt that past in
the night, and speak each other in pass
ing. Ooly a tignal shown and a distant
voice in tho darkness. Soon the ocean
of life we past and tpeak one ALOlher,
Only a look and a voice, then darkness
again and a tilencc." -
Tbe apeaker called attention to the
various thlpt that pass na on life't
voyage and of their tignificaco. If no
further letson it gleaned they must l I
least remind ot of tbe brotherhood of
mau and hit destiny. These ships are
Uod't messengers of love and opportu
nity, and can only accomplish that
which he intended by the messages
which we accept and the good which
comet into our livet by tbe lessons
taught by them. Among these ships
which pass ut tt the good ship Faith,
which is henven bound and comet laden
with the gold of character, Die pearl of
great price and tbe bier sings of integrity.
Another it the opportune day, which
passes for all and heart messages of
utmost importance.
Brief life, or child life, It a thip which
the speaker said might teem an unim
portant thip, but tbe little voice thus
heard hat tlgnally influenced many a
life and wat a great factor for good ia
teaching tbe lessoca of nntelfithneee.
One ia to be pitted who bat tailed over
the ocnn of life and given no beed to
those shift w hich have patted bim, pay
ing no n'if-r. tii.n to the heart messagee of
ilhera. Ail ure marinert on the boeon r.
of life't ocean, but whither are we tail--ing?
Mother wat then likened to a tbip.
which it laden with a love cargo. Hera
It not merely a voice, but a life-Irene-
figuring influence. May the response be
a glad one. The young man who levee
hit mother cannot be very bad, nor go
very far in the wrong path.
Two other thiol are the friend wbo
influences fr good aud the niessenera
divinely c jinmissloned of God lo apeak
and tell of the dangers on life's voyage;
lurirgln tiren tones to the path of right.
lu c'osing, Mr. Puling urged hie con
gregation to give beed to every thip
wheti cargo wat for the betterment of
humanity and to uplift rather than de
grade.
We clip loduy an editorial from the
Ore,tonian in regard to the unnecessary
display and strain caused by the gradu
ating txercues of today which we con
sider contains a number of tnygeetiont
wbcU are worthy of careful tludy by alt
concerned, although the reference to tho
training ot young women, mentioced in
tbe first paragraph, does not teem to
apply to the average American girl
of today. Not that we do not con
sider that graduating time should be
one of especial moment and be made an
auapiciout cccetion ; but ia tt not trne,
at tte Oregouan tay, that il it becom
ing rather more of a burdensome than a
pyous time, especially to the parente
wboie meant will not permit of the ex
pensive dresses, class pins, programs and
what cot that are the adjauctt of the
modern graduating exercises? Mary
parents can merely aC'urd br self sacri
fice to let their tout and daughters finish
the public schools, and could cot con
aider for a momtnl adding to their bur
den the unnecessary expenses. Should
there not be a rule, in our public scboole
at least, gorerninz tbet minor matter!
so far as th class collectively it con
cerned, let the ind vidua! presents, etc.,
giveu at home be what tbey may.
It ia hardly probable now that there
it a mistake ahcut the boyt having
started homeward boon I, for diepatcbea
etate that they tailed from Manila yec
terdar. With anything like tmooth
tailing they will arrive in Portland
on July 12th. Everybody in Oregon
wiahea them a tpeedy, tafe and pleasant
voyage. They have been in the thickeet
of the fray for many mouths, and never
faltered or whimpered. Their atata ia
proul ot them and they will be tWen tt
royal welcome. Da'.lea people are anx
lout to be among the first to welcome
tbem,andit would be a eflendid idea
to charter cne of the D. P. A A. N.
steamers and meet them at Astoria,
then join in the welcome at Portland,
and top it off by preparing a genuine
old bunch grass welcome to Eastern
Oregon. We understand tbe Relief Corps
in The Pallet it to have a meeting Sat
urday evening for the purpose of arrang
ing mattrrt to that end, and if they do,
every man, womn and child in the city
should vie in their efforts to assist them,
and will do to. There it plenty for the
older onet to do, and, judging from the
number of children scattered through
out the city, wc have enough to line
the tidewalkt with them, and let the
little ones "etrew flowera in their way
who come in triumphant." If we are
10 tias the 4th bv unheeded, let na cnll -
011 a holiday for the return of our boyt.
