TWO CLUBS FAIL TO IT FIRST DAY Journey for The Oregonian Trophies May Be Opened Next Sunday Instead. FORFEITS ARE CONSIDERED Board of Goyernors of Columbia Willamette Trapshooters Asso ciation Will Decide Action That Is to Be Taken. Through some misunderstanding, two of the clubs in Columbia - Willamette Trapshooters' Association failed to shoot yesterday, although the opening of the tournament for The Oregonian trophies was originally scheduled for yesterday. Both the Canemah Gun Club, of Oregon City, and the Capital City Gun Club, of Salem, did not con test. The. Round-up Gun Club of Pendleton shot and scored 111 out of a possible 125, and the Woodburn Gun Club Btnashed 114 out of 125, the same num ber credited to the La Grande Gun Club. Astoria was not billed to shoot because there are only seven clubs in the cir cuit. But for all that the nimrods at the Columbia metropolis got out and broke 100 bluerocks. La Grande was scheduled to meet Sa lem, Woodburn was slated to shoot against Oregon City, and Pendleton battled the Albany club. Albany went out in a high wind and smeared 107 of the elusive clay rocks, while Pendleton scored 111. Just what will be done as to whether or not the matches should be forfeited or the opening date set until next Sunday will be decided by the board of governors of the Columbia-Willamette TrapshooterB Associa tion. It may be that the schedule which was printed in last Sunday's Oregonian will be started next Sunday, that is, yesterday's contests will be placed at the end of the season and next Sun day's schedule will be used as the open ing. The final decisions will be made by Thursday. KEtLEY WINS 2 0-GAUGE SHOOT Twenty-Two of 2 5 Bluerocks Are Broken in Contest. C. C.

H 3 HOLY PASCH ENDED Culmination of Greek Easter Is Impressive Service. RESURRECTION IS ENACTED Congregation of Quaint Church Make Religions Offerings In Mod . lfled Form to Comply With Law Again6t Fire Displays. The hour 'approached midnight, and the service of the Holy Peach, the Easter of the Greek Orthodox Church, was approaching its culmination. The voices of the chanters were rising in exultant clearness. The night before. the tone had been one of despair, of desolation, fitting accompaniment to the sepulchral decorations. Then the service had been one of death and despair, commemorative of the cruel fixion and burial of Christ. The wailing voices' of the singers had carried a message of sadness to the patient audience who grouped closely about the sepulcher erected in the center of the church. They were all standing, for there are 710 seats in the Trinity Greek Orthodox Church at Seventeenth and Taggart streets. The men were gathered on the lower floor about the altar, the women and chil dren stood in the gallery. The only sound, beside the mournfully Intoned voices of the choristers, was the faint. never ending shuffle of tired feet. The pulsing candle light, that only seemed to Intensify the gloom, vibrated In re sponse to the mournful cadences. Chant Less Despairing. Last midnight there was a different note in the chanting, the church v brilliantly lighted and the gloomy sep ulcher of the night before was dec orated with flowers. The chant still held its note of sadness, but the despair was no longer present, even the eyes of the worshipers held a new light. the light of Joyous anticipation. Every one held in his hand the brown twisted taper that was to be his offering to the arisen savior. Simeon Emanuel, the priest, busied himself making ready for his part in the service. J. C. Sourapas, the presi dent of the congregation, was here there and everywhere, seeing that all was in order. Suddenly the music was hushed, the voices were stilled, the lights went out with startling suddenness. In the minds of the worshipers this was the hour before the dawn Just when the new life of Christ was about to begin. Voice More Exultant. The silence was broken by the deep bell-toned voice of the priest, and. clad in fun regalia, bis widespread black beard sweeping down over the white vestments, he stepped through the curtains at the rear and raised his rreat voice In an exultant chant. He carried a three-branched cande labra in either hand, and there was an orderly rush to light the offertory tapers from the burning candles. The lights were turned on again, the voices rose higher and. higher. The REMEMBER Turkish to- bacco is the . world's most EEE famous tobacco for cigarettes priest swung the "Thtmiama" more and more vigorously and the blue smoke of the incense rose in a heavy cloud. Gradually the irregular group of wor shipers took on a definite form and long line mounted the altar, eacn as he passed kissing the wounded hands and feet of Christ, as repre sented on a picture held up by the priest. First the men and then the women with their bevies of children. The big room was thick with the smoke of the Incense and the strong odor of the burning tapers. As the procession wound on its reverential way the crowd gradually thinned out. Originally there was mora to tne ceremony, but the ordinances or tne city fathers have barred the pyro technic display and with It has died the custom of egg-rolling. Soon there were only a few of the 500 or so left. The choristers left their places and only the droning voice of the priest was heard. The services of the Holy Pasch were ended. - ' This Quaint church, which supports Itself by the sale of offertory tapers and occasional donations from its mem bers, was erected in" 1908, and its con gregations have followed within its stone walls the old, old. orthodox rit ual, as far as the laws of the com munlty would permit. There is a touch of the Oriental, of the ancient Grecian simplicity about their forms of wor ship, and a strain of the ancient hos pitality in their kindly -and courteous welcome to strangers.
