v?r"- T THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TH0KSDAY, JULY 5, 1900. 3 PARADE AT NIGHT Klost Imposing Pageant Ever Seen in Portland. CHINESE THE STAR ATTRACTION Brilliantly Illuminated Procession More Than a Mile Loner, and No Dull Feature. Portland turned out enmasse yesterday to see what was the most brilliant spec tacle in the way of a Fourth of July celebration that the city lias ever wit nessed. And this notwithstanding the .fact that the day began in rather dis " couraging fashion, with, enough black storm clouds overhead to blight the hopes of the most optimistic. But tnls was only a private little Joke of Jupiter Pluvius, and when evening cams the weather god smiled benignly and sent all the rain clouds scurrying off to the hori zon. The sky cleared gloriously, and the stars peeped out -inquisitively to see their rivals across the way. It could not have been a more ideal night for fireworks. Picture a surging crowd of humanity for background, with thousands of up turned, expectant faces, flashing forth greetings to their comrades in the march; sparkling showers of iridescent lights, bursting from the Are chariots that made tho long procession, winding its sinuous way among the streets, look like the trail of a great comet; squads of brave Oregon Boldjens, some in khaki suits, some in .blue coats and campaign hats, marching shoulder to shoulder, orllllantly IIIuhjI (nated floats of curious design, brown faced Indians In war feathers, and bright ly dyed blankets; hundreds of Chinese in stiff, embroidered gowns, carrying gor geous, flower-sprinkled banners and whirligig canopies; and a monstrous, writhing dragon of crimson and "clue and gold, that was beautiful and terrible to . look upon. All of this, lit up by red light, made a dazzling scene. And one of the most impressive features of all was the parade of GOO Chinese. Such a display of patriotism on the part of the Chinese was unprecedented in the history of Portland. Many regrets were expressed that the procession could not have been seen in Its entirety in the daytime, but It doubtless appeared to much better advantage In the blaze and glare of red fire, of winch there 'was no end along the entire route. Men who have seen the Mardl Gras in St. Louis and New Orleans say that, while they have longer processions there, they have none so unique or fine as that of last night. First Division. According to instructions the first di vision, or the military, formed on First street, bet-ween Couch and "Vine. Cap tain G. 8. Young commanded the battal ion of the Seventh Infantry from Van couver participating In the procession, his left resting at First and Vine, and being the head of the military division. The members of the Seventh formed in pla toons, of 16 file front, that their line might fit the streets. The manner in which the regulars handled their Krags, their nonchalant attitude and bearing generally called forth many remarks, as there was no difficulty in seeing that they were trained soldiers. Colonel Edward Everett, of the Third Regiment, O. N. G., commanded the military division, be ing attended by his entire regimental staff, consisting of Major R. C. Yenney, Adjutant E. C. Mears, Captain R. I. Gillespie, Lieutenants A. H. Kerr and L. H. Knapp. The fire chariot, In charge of N. W. Rountree and J. M. Gilbert, discharging 13-inch bombs, preceded the column, and was followed Immediately by the Sev enth Infantry band. General Owen Sura mers, grand marshal of the day, came next, mounted on a fine steed and at tended by his numerous aids, five of whom were officers in the late war. The aids were Chaplain W. S. Gilbert, Cap tain Sandford Whltig, Lieuteant D. J. Sutton, Captain C. T. Smith, of the First "Washington Volunteers, and Major F. A. "Mead, ex-Mayor Sullivan, of Oregon City, and B. Neustadter. all of whom were mounted. Adjutant-General Gan tenbein was the grand marshal's adju tant and accompanied him. ' The national float followed the grand marshal, and after It came Colonel Ever ett and staff, preceding the battalion of the Seventh Infantry. The Third Regi ment, O. N. G., seven companies strong, was next in order, the First battalion being commanded by Major F. S. Kelly, and consisting of Companies A, Captain F. A. Metzner; I, Captain A. W. Clo thier; G, Captain M. S. Jameson, and E, Captain D. T. Bulger. Tho Second bat talion was commanded by Major G. C von Egloffstein, and consisted of Com panies F, Captain E. C. Dick; B, Cap tain t. j. .Dunbar, and C, Captain G. S. Mann. The Oregon Naval Reserve was the last of the military division, being commanded by Lieutenant-Commander R. E. Davis. The first division of the battalion was led by Lieutenant Mont gomery and the second by Lieutenant Bird. All of the military made a good Im pression. Streets were bad a portion of the route, and a line was nearly an impossibility, particularly where the crowd came in on either side, absorbing the space between curbs. For a distance the soldiers marched In columns of fours, but were ordered Into company and pla toon front, in which position the review ing stand was passed. As It was dark and muddy, the streets often being cut up with ruts and puddles, especial praise is, due all for the excellence of the line maintained. Second Division, The second division formed on Ash street under Commander Andrew C Smith and aids. This division reached from First to Third streets. Brown's, band was in the lead, followed by the Oregon United States Volunteers on a float The Phil ippine tent, palms and native house all appeared on the float. The boys wore their khaki suits and with Chinese and Filipino Jargon apparently made them selves feel at home in the wilds of Luzon. The Elks followed with a magnificent float. The Immense elk was surrounded by numerous smaller elks and the float was decorated with cat-tails and other peculiar Elk Ideas. Many Elks on foot followed the float. The Modern "Woodmen of America fell In behind the Elks. Their float was a typical woodman's home. The log cabin with the indlspenslble coon-skln tacked on the wall, and other scenes familiar to those jot pioneer days. The Letter Carriers had one of the best floats in this division. Preceding the float were 50 or more carriers; 10 carts in charge of the mounted force, and Post master Croasman in a carriage. The float itself represented a postofllce. Mall was being distributed, and Uncle Sam was driving. This float, was especially well lighted by Chinese lanterns. The Turn Verein float brought up the rear, and like the rest, was good. Third Division. The third division formed on Pine street, under command of F. L. Zimmer man. At the head marched the Silver ton brass band of 20 pieces, doing its level best to make their excellent music heard above the din. A fine chariot, well supplied with rockets and all sorts of fireworks followed, the men in charge keeping the firmament In a blaze. Next came the handsome float of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. The main figure on this was a gigantic eagle 18 feet from tip to tip. In the act of alighting on a crag. This huge bird was surmounted By a canopy decorated at each corner with fine mounted specimens of the great Amer ican eagle, and festooned with bunting, etc., the whole brightly illuminated. The float was followed by a truck "carrying a big bell, which was rung continually. Next came the float of Woodmen of th "World. At the front, on each side of thi driver, were large gnarled tre trunks, and in the center a huge log with axes and wedges fast on It woodmen around a campflreat "the rear, the whole hand somely decorated with flags, lanterns, e'le. Next followed the float of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, representing an ancient galley, profusely decorated with flowers. A huge anchor and shield were prominently displayed. Half a doz en sailors in blue shirts and white breeches formed the crew, and for pas sengers there were more than that num ber of women. This float was one of the handsomest in the parade. The rear of the division was assigned the Foresters of America, whose float was handsome and appropriate and was much admired. FoHrth Division. The fourth division, led by E. House, dlvisionr commander, and five aids, pre ceded jthe gfosraafra Indian band of 20 pieces. The Indian boys looked neat In their suits of gray, with gray caps, and the manner in which they marched in perfect step and played the National airs proved study on their part, under a pro ficient master. The Liberty car, with 46 little girls In white, presided ovr by the Goddess of Liberty, Miss Sllter, was next In order. The Goddess had for an immediate guard of honor two veterans of the Second Ore gon, in khaki suits, who occupied posi tions on her right and left. The car was drawn by four fine horses, and each of these was attended by a special orderly, to insure safer' to the precious load. The Red Men's float was striking, as It depicted a genuine Indian scene, with mountains, cascades, tepee, canoes and campflre. Mounted Red Men, In war paint and feathers, formed a vanguard for the float, which was drawn by four horses. The good Imitation the Red Men made of the genuine article must have been a revelation to the Chemawa Indians, a little way In their van. The float of the Native Sons and Daughters represented Oregon in the ear ly days when the log cabin was the most sumptuous home that could be devised. A pioneer family, showing two genera tions seated about the Are in front of the cabin, which was a miniature forest, 'sug gested the methods of domestic life in pioneer times. This Boat was drawn by four fine .horses. The Third-Street Mission Band, com posed of 20 little boys dressed in heat uniforms of blue and white, was led by O. O. Nisbey. They carried rifles of small caliber and responded readily to the or ders of their commander, as starts, halts and "right wheel" or "left wheel" be came the rule. About 70 boys of the Manual Training School came next. Their float was a house in course of erection, suggesting the object of the training school. Will iam J. Standley had charge of these juve niles, who semed to be enjoying them selves as their car. which was lighted by Chinese lanterns, moved along in its place in the procession. The Blue "Mountain Soap Company had a mammoth cake of soap on Its float, and a laundry scene, with domestics on wash day, set off the rear end of the car and suggested what the soap was for. The Portland Pulley Company's float was a pyramid of tubs and other articles suggestive of wooden ware, and attracted considerable attention. Alblna Hose, No. 1, brought up the rear of the fourth division, with gaily deco rated hose cart, though they bad light ened their vehicle by leaving their hose at home. The boys were on hand, how- Starting: for a Picnic l ever, to assist in quelling the incipient conflagration that started in a fire char lot of the fourth division at the corner of Oak and First streets. Fifth, and Beat Division. The Chinese proved the truth of the scripture "and the last shall be first." While their division was the fifth and last their show was the best thing in the pa rade, and was received with cheers all along the line' of march. It was a bril liant spectacle from first to last. The fittf gorgeous banners, flags of many kinds j and beautiful floats excited admiration, and the huge dragon was a source of much wonderment. It was a fantastic spectacle, and those participating num bered about 500. The division formed at Oak and First streets, and was in command of "Seld Back, Jr., who led with his military com pany of American-born Chinese. There was about 50 In the company, the young est members "being mere tots scarcely big enough to march, but they succeeded in keeping up wlth the rest, notwithstanding, and shouldered their rifles like veterans. The uniforms were of regulation blue. Next came a wagon carrying the por traits of George Washington, General Grant and President McKinley, a wagon with red fire and a Chinese band in a wagon. Following were standard-bearers, an elegant American and also a large beautiful flag of the Flowery Kingdom, being conspicuous features, and many smaller-flags were seen. Then came about 100 men dressed in combination suits of blue, black, purple, yellow and other col ors, and bearing poles, spears and other paraphernalia. Others carried banners and lanterns, and baskets of artificial flowers over their shoulders. Some rode horses, and wore head dresses and all manner of finery, and much resembled .an Indian chief togged up for a festive oc casion. A float, drawn by six horses, was a thing of Oriental splendor, with the redk white and blue freely Intermingled, and Il luminated with an abundance of Chinese lanterns. Tho occupants were Chinese women and chlldron attired In dazzling silks. The furnishings were a mass of gilt and gold. Another decorated wagon full of Chinese music, and a troop of gaily attired men with smelds and spears and wearing helmets. Intended to repre sent warriors of the olden time, made up the next part of the Chinese division. The uniforms as well as all of the others worn, were made of silk. There was also the usual number of gorgeous banners, flags and lanterns. The representation of the huge dragon, a block long, with Its Immense head and tall and terrible eyes, possessed all of the requisites of this monstrous serpent. The body was constructed of cloth, fan tastically painted and adorned, and the enormous affair was borne, by 100 or so Chinese, who walked underneath. It had golden horns, a moving tongue and nos trils, and the tall was also lashed into fury. The dragon was certainly an astonish ing and extraordinary pageant, worthy of exhibition in any city for any festive oc casion. More music, banners, flags, lan terns, soldiers and prominent Chinese In carriages completed this feature of the procession. The last thing was an old man on horseback, gotten up as If he might be meant to represent LI Hung Chang keeping in the rear for fear he should be called to go to the front. All of the Chinese residents of Portland contributed to the fund necessary to get up this division, the costumes were made to order In San Francisco, and the total amount expended must have been large. Considering the size of the Chinese col ony In Portland, the display was an ex ceptionally creditable one, and It was the feature of the procession and the talk of the town. To Whom Praise Is Dae. Great praise is due the members of the parade committee. Adjutant-General Gantenbeln. chairman, A. B. Stelnbach, Major J. Mel. Wood, Col onel D. M. Dunne and E. House, and the members of the music committee, which also had a hand In arranging this feature of the celebration, the members of the latter being L N. Flelschner. chairman, E. H. Kllham and Julius Thlelscn. But mentioning the names of the committees without placing at the head that of Gen eral Summers, would be empty and futile. General Summers was the early and ar dent champion of a night parade and the Illuminations, rather than the regulation set pieces of fireworks General Summers has earned the grateful respect of all by nls public spirit and energy. But praise is more general. Every member of the entire Fourth of July com mittee and the subcommittees, deserves and has the praise of the citizens of the city. All arrangements were excellent, and In no instance was there a failure or falling short of expectations. The names of all the committees. In addition to those mentioned, were as .follows: Programme L. Samuel, chairman; J. D. Mann, W. P. Adams, Dan McAllen, and Major J. McL Wood. Literary exercises J. D. Mann, chair man; George W.- Caldwell, and F. L. Zim merman. Advertising C. H. Mclsaacs. chairman; B. B. Rich, Lee M. Clark, and Dan Mc Allen. Amusements J. P. Marshall, chairman; Fred T. Merrill, and H. E. Judge. Decoration Julius L. Meier, chairman;. S. Solomon, and A. D, Rockefeller. Transportation Paul Wessinger, chair man; L. D. Cole, Julius E. Thlcl3en, and L. Samuel. Finance committee A. B. Stelnbach, chairman; E. House, E. H. Kllham, L N. Flelschner, and Julius L. Meier. Auditing committee L N. Flelschner, chairman; Dan McAllen, and E. H. KI1 ham. Fireworks N. W. Rountree, chairman; J. M. Gellert, H. D. Ramsdell. A spark from a steam shovel last Sat urday Ignited the grass on the Mosler ranch, at Mosler, and burnt over a large acreage of pasture, besides destroying about 30 tons of hay belonging to J. J. Lewis and the pasture of Lark Lamb. RAIN; HURT JHJ SPORTS DAYLIGHT "WEATHER WOT EXACT LY FAVORABLE. ' Bicycle Riders staa.Jqaeys Rode la Sled and Baseball Flayers Wallovrcd In It. The day broke gloomily for the. Fourth of July managers, and they went about downcast, hoping against hope that the weather would change At 10 o'clock the clouds burst, sending down a. heavy show er, and drenching the festive decorations of the city. The bicycle road race was postponed, the rowing regatta delayed on account of the choppy water, and the crowds on the street Sought shelter. But between showers the streets; were full of people enjoying themselves and the af ter noon events started off auspiciously. The THE GREAT CHINESE DRAGON IN LAST NIGHT'S literary exercises were well attended, and the baseball game at- Multnomah field and the races at Irvington drew crowds of people. About 4 o'clock, while tie Sllverton band wa3 entertaining the downtown populace by sprightly martial airs, another heavy shower came up. and the rain poured down steadily forynearly an hour. At sunset the sky became clear and the rosy glow In the west brightened up the -whole horizon. The Fourth of July parade committee, meanwhile, un daunted by a little stray moisture, worked like beavers on the organization of the evening's pageant, and the per fect evening was a fitting reward for their faithfulness. A clear sky and balmy. Summer air drew out the whole city population, and the beautiful even ing was never more enjoyed, especially since it came as a glorious close fo a day of gloomy beginnings. MULTNOMAHS DEFEATED. Chemaua Indians Beat Them, Up to Their Ivnees In Mud. Chemawa defeated Multnomah yester day In a baseball game that started out to be a good exhibition of ball, but ended up In a wading match- and a mud fight. The score was 13 to 6. Had the Multnomah boys been able to jump around In the slush and handle the slippery sphere with the same agility that the redmen displayed, the result might have been somewhat different, but as it was the rain brought about a sure and speedy downfall to their own hopes as well as the hopes of their partisans. The rain didn't bother the redmen a bit. They took to it like the missing link would, were that animal ever to be found, and fairly wallowed In it. A big" crowd packed the grandstand, and held down the bleachers, the fences and the neighboring hills. It was a typical Fourth of July crowd supplied with pistols and bombs enough to lick a whole army of "Boxers," besides unjolntlng everyone's ear-drums within four miles cf tho grounds. It was a Chemawa crowd too. and when the In dians did something good the noise drowned out even the falsetto notes of Umpire "Trilby" Rankin, which Is say ing a good deal. The antics of a Scotch collie, furnished the chief subject of In terest to the spectators. Somewhere un derneath his shaggy hide this canine had a remarkable bunch of curiosity hidden and It insisted on following the base run ners In their circuit and investigating every point of Interest about the dia mond. As far as actual ball playing exhibited, it was all on the side of Multnomah, for the first two innings, that is until the rain began, and then they were not In it for a minute. Both pitchers handled the ball well, considering the slippery condition of things, but Graham was steadiest at crit ical points, and pulled himself out of sev eral bad holes In fine style. The fea ture of the game was a circus act by Shortstop Murphy, who threw a man out at first, after an extraordinary mix ture of gymnastic gyrations In the air and on the ground as well. Whitehead made the samo good catches In the right garden, also, and covered his territory in fine style. The game was delayed half an j -?.. i. Scared by n "Detvey Chaser." hour at the start, by the non-arrival of the-Chemawa catcher who was engaged in' livening up things with the band down on Morrison street, so that it was after 3:30 before Umpire Rankin called the game, to the delight of the rooters who had been clamoring loudly for 45 minutes. Chemawa came to bat first, and Beusell knocked an easy one to the pitcher, and was out. Graham filed out to Doscher, who made a beautiful catch, and Lanier did the same to Whitehead. Murphy, first up for Multnomah, was presented with a free pass to first. Zan hit to short, who threw wild to first, letting Murphy reach third. Glle came to bat and Zan stole second. Two on bases, and none out. Multnomah was feeling fine now, but Graham loosened up and Btruck out Glle, Dalglelsh and Doble in rapid succession to the accompaniment of several hundred pistols and the band. In their half of the second Inning the Indians again went out in one-two-three order. Young nit to Murphy, who made his sensational play. He with the long name hit to Doble and Davis vigorously fanned the air thrice. Gearin, for Multnomah, did the same thing, but the- catcher missed the third f "asm"""' sssssssB""ssMssste. PROCESSION strike, and he was safe at first. A healthy young Oregon drizzle now set in. and Bruce and Doscher celebrated Its ad vent In true Webfoot style by flying out. Whitehead hit a hot one to- third, and reached first after a hard swim. The rain was now falling In sheets, and the game was called for 50 minutes. During the intermission the Chemawa band entertain ed the spectators. When the rain ceased and the sun came out the diamond was a lake, and the bases, islands. It was de cided to wait five minutes and see if the diamond dried up. The time passed and as there was no dimunition in the water supply, play was resumed. The home team had men at second and third, but Murphy hit an easy one to short, and the inning was over. The third Inning was literally a Water loo for the home team. Sanders opened up with a hot one past first, and 10 more Indians had a chance with the stick in the same inning. The slippery ball and the mud were too much for the home team, and when the spray had cleared it was clear that the Chemawas had made eight runs. Multnomah could do nothing In her half. Both teams drew blanks In the fourth and fifth Innings, but In the sixth the Chemawas found the ball once more, and two doubles, two errors, a single and a wild pitch gave them five more tallies, making the score 13 to 0. Multnomah did her first scoring in the seventh. With one out Whitehead made a pretty single, Murphy got first and Zan cracked out a double. Murphy scored on this, and Zan came in later. Neither side scored In the eighth. In tho ninth the home team got three more on three errors, and a base on balls. The score In detail: M. A. A. C. AB. R. H. P.O. A. E.

Bis Crowds See the Raees at Irvingr ton Trnclc Three running races in a sea of nrud af forded rare sport yesterday afternoon- at Irvington track, the two harness events on tho programme being declared off until Saturday next by the management. It was truly an old-time race-course crowdr f uMy 2000 people being present, crowding tJho grandstand to its limit and overflow ing into the betting ring and lawn when the irritating downpour would permit. Heavy rains during yesterday forenoon had rendered the track rather heavy for trotting and pacing races, so the bang tafia were put first hi order. A gleam of sunshine about 2:30 encouraged Judge Buchtel to call out tne horses for tire first race, a (half-mile dash. The betting ring was thronged, but the betting fra ternity was somewhat shy as yet. Undo, J. L. Crook's entry, was a spry, likely looking flay, carrying the light weight, and at the distance ft looked as if she should carry the public's -money. How ever, the betting ewitcned to the old tme favorite Jim Bozeman, and this game old sprinter landed the prize after a bruising finish down the stretch, where in he beat the second choice, Mark Hanna, by a short length. Starter Green had some difficulty in sezudsrsg the field away, on account of the refractory moods of Senator Wlkon and Mark Hanna, but these lawbreakers finally fell in dine to a. good start. The many breaks wore down the nervous Lindo and the heavy Mark Hanma. and somewhat spotted their chances. Tho second race, a -nIo sprint, was Crashed in a pouring ram, the rangy Jim Browne!!, another favortte beating out the light imported Grace W. y good, hard riding. In the i-mSlo race, three horses, including: Jim Bozeman, faced the starter, and in this race Jim felt the need I of the goggles that he has usually worn. In the stretch he hatf to face the "wash" of New Moon, as the track was a quag mire, and the horses and! parti-colored Jockeys all looked attke a, the finish. Splash! splash! they came a-round the curve, with Bozeman and the favorite. New Moon, on. even terms, running as a team. However, Bozemon's previous race told on him, and ho fell back dead beet, with Tennessee Maid a poor third. After this race Judge Bucbrtel anv Dounctid that the harness events would be raced next Saturday afternoon. Rain checks were issued by the management, so another good, square afternoon's sport may ber looked for The summary of events is as follows: First race. -mile dash Jim Bozeman, owner F. M.

Yesterday's regatta, owing to a series of accidents, was not such a sweeping victory for Portland as Tuesday's; how ever, the local men, with four events out of six. have nothing to be ashamed of, and. considering the talent against them, theirs was a very creditable perform ance. A broken oar and a broken boat tell the story in a few words. The morning, which opened up with rain and no wind, bid far to make rac ing fast, but about an hour before the time for the first race, the area of low barometer seemed to suddenly move east ward from Tatoosh Island, and the sur face of the Willamette was soon tossed up In quite an angry fashion. As the officials of the regatta had agreed to have the races pulled off in smooth water, the commodore's launch was sent over the course, and it was de cided that the water was too lumpy. The race was, therefore, postponed till 12 noon. Portland "Wins "Has Beens" Race. The "has beens" race, however, was Im mediately called, as those ancient oars men are so adept that It was thought they could row in any sea. The contestants In this race were: For Vancouver Russell, bow; Kent, 2; Senk- ler, 3; Brewster, stroke; for Portland Luders, bow; Lounsbury, 2; Judge Vree land, 3; Stowell. stroke. These crews got away without delay, and on the way up to the turn Vancou ver had a little the best of It, but Luders made one of his famous turns, and start ed the crew away for the finish in good shape. It was quite exciting right to the tape, and after a good spurt by the Port lands, the line was crossed a length and a half ahead. The time was too fast to be taken. Vancouver 'Wins Senior Fours. Soon afterwards it was decided that the water was calm enough for the great senior race. Crews were called out, and were soon on their way up the river. Portland, of course, received the great est, ovation, though the sportsmanlike Vancouvers received a good share of ap plause. Victoria left the house third In order, pulling a long, clean stroke, and the Portland "kids," who won Tuesday's race, also decided to compete, as the cap ture of that event entitled them to en trance. A little delay occurred at the start, owing to the wind blowing the crews over the line, but Starter Raley 2 1 Horses like dynamite bombs. finally sent them off In one c tha pret tiest starts ever seen in the association-. Portland and Vancouver Immediately went to the front. Portland's "kid"' crew second and Victoria third. The pace was a hot one for the first half mile, and when the first rush was over it was seen that Vancouver and Portland were on eveh terms. This position was maintained until the Madison-street bridge was reached, when Ball, Portland's bow, broke his oar, thus throwing that crew out of the race and spoiling their chances for another win. However, by a plucky dash, the "kid" crew closed up some of the distance between them and Vancou ver and made a pretty finish. Victoria came in a poor third. Time, 8:43. Vancouvers blade work Is all that can be desired. There is, however, some rolling in the boat, and No. 3 "bucks" his slide somewhat. While it Is certain that the oar of tho Portland crew was not of the best "mat- terlal, nearly every one obtained from the maker, Ellis Ward, ot Philadelphia, having broken the same way, still It la thought by the Initiated that Ball's bad habit of raising his oar just before the catch, and then making a jerk of It into the waiter, was the cause of the mishap. Tilting: Confest. While the senior singles were being called, the crowd was given an exhibition of a "tilting" race by the members of the different craws. This is something novel here and quite exciting. Two men go out Jn a canoe one armed with a pole with a boxing love on the end, and the other paddles. The object Is to either tip. the opponent's canoe over or "tilt" the op posing inter" out. Tne James Bays easily captured this event. Patton "Wins Slngrles. As this finished, the contestants In tho senior singles were seen above Madison street bridge. They had secured a good start, and the shell of Hugh Wilson, ol Vancouver, was seen to be ha the lead. Patton of Portland was, however, rowing his usual race, and Wilson was soon soon to be in trouble. Patton passed him and finished in a go-as-you-please fashion, Wilson being entirely rowed out. Tht time was poor. Vancouver Gets Doubles. Senior doubles were next called, and an crews were soon out. Ball and Stiles, who won the junior event Tuesday, en tering. They were all soon off for the start, and were got off. without trouble. Ball and Stiles taking the lead at once, aa they had before, Vancouver following, witn Hart and Scott bringing up the rear. This procession was kept up until the contestants were between the bridges, when, without warning, Ball" and Stiles' shell broke in the middle, throwing both ends in the air. With commendable self possession they dragged it out of tha course of Scott and Hart, "who, however, were unable to pick up the lead, and thus again was victory snatched from the Portlands by Vancouver, on an accident. The time was good, considering the water, being 9:45. The 1st event was a tandem canoo race, fn which there were four entries. After a hard and well-fought race. Gloss and Grub carried off the honors. End of Reffatta. Bo ended the regatta of 1900, Several lessons have been learned by the crews and members attending, chief of which is the: -value of a trainer. Portland's good showing justifies the assertion of Billy McLeod, Portland's trainer, that It la the only way to keep muscles in good con dition. Another is the superiority of the style of sculling Portland uses, a bard catch, the stroke pulled clear back, till the hands are opposite tho sides, and an easy recovery. Victoria's poor showing was largely through the fact that one of the men has been away a good deal of late. Their past performances, however, make up for any lack of speed in this regatta, as they have won the senior event every year since 1SS6, until the present. They are a fine crowd of young men, and do credit to their club and city. Yesterday's race was the first ever held in which the crews contesting were boated in cedar Olaspers, and from tha fact that there was such a difference In the time, it Is now conceded that it la not so muchthboat as "the man behind the oar," and the stroke used. This is the first senior race Vancouvera ever won, and they are naturally much elated, and they well deserve their vic tory, as they have been hammering away for years, determined eventually to cap ture the event, and now that they have succeeded, their joy knows no bounds. Their sportsmanship shows Itself in tha fact that they expressed regret at Port land's misfortune, and generously offtred to row the race over In the aftern'on, but the Portland boys considered Van couver's victory fairly earned, and re fused to enter into euch an arrangement.
