JREAT LAND AND WATER SPORT juatlc Cvents That Decide Pacific Coast Records Amusement for TJiree Days. I ASTORIA. Or.. Aug. 18. Beginning next Siursday, August 28, the seventh annual xtta and carnival of land and water jrts -will open in Astoria. This annual Tc::t has grown from a few exciting res between flshboate to an established ecure of sports oa the Pacific Coast, AW.PAP&.

The experience otf six years has taught iry lessons how to receive and enter- gain tho many thousand people who come liere to onjoy the carnival. As an lllus- iatlon of this, two years ago it was eug- ssted to tho committee of that year that lag-rolling contest would be interesting. t was given, and created so much amuse ment that it is now a regular event. The scire could be said of deep-sea diving, in ir'rh a man sits on the bottom of the Iver, has boards, hammer and nails sent town to him. and he sends up a complet tl box before he comes to the surface. :c8o do not constitute the main features it tho regatta, but they entertain wh'le Ibo other events arc in progress, and the tiUToso is always to have something to4r.gr on that will be of interest, even If It is to see boys try to walk out on a eased pole extended over the river. io regatta itself has no counterpart in fhe West, and few places in the world fcave tho opportunity to attempt what Is here. i Tho -weather conditions during the lat- irr part of August aro always peculiar pa perfect. la the morning the river is is sm-olh as a frozen lake, while in the i.fen:o n it is churned up by a stiff licrthwest brcese. that makes the sail. ;ts take in a reef.

The single scull race Is of the most im portance, as it will decide the amateur championship of the Pacific Coast Alex Pape, of San Francisco, is the champion of California, and oarsmen there believe that no man. either amateur or profes sional, can beat him at a mile and a halt with a turn or straight away. He was at the Astoria regatta two years ago ana easily won every event in which he en tered. At that time he was rowing in an outrigger skiff, but has now taken to a shell. The man whom he comes up to beat Is Patton, of Portland, the cham pion of the Pacific Northwest, a man who outclasses the scullers of the north as Pape does those of the south. There will probably be half a dozen entries for this race, but the real contest will be between these two. Thirty oarsmen will be here from San Francisco, which gives some idea of the interest taken in the regatta at the Bay city. While the water sports will be almost continuous during the three days, the "5cp ""TXJ-3QirifeL' ---;-;' lTTrcj"':f???!Tj- T"'' " same can be said of those on land, and the sanction of the Pacific Northwest As sociation has been secured to hold a series of amateur athletic events. This was expected to be a sharp contest be tween the traok teams of tho Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, of Portland, and the Olympic Club, of San Francisco, both of which have been in active training for some time for the meet. The com mittee, however, has already received other entries, which may change the complexion of the results. Paris, the ne gro sprinter of Seattle, has forwarded his entry through tho Seattle Athletlo Club, and If he is in the form that he was last year it is very doubtful if there is an amateur on the Coast that can beat him in the sprints. Davis, of Seattle, the half-mile and mile champion of Puget Sound, will also come and take his chances at winning a few races. Duke D. Knott, of the University of Oregon, has also, sent In his entry for the pole vault, jumps and hurdles. With all these contesting, there should be some rare sport. Astoria is always known as a "wide open" city, but it Is never more so than during regatta week. Every taste can be gratified, even to witnessing a prize fight every night, for a small fee to the victorious pugilist. This year every one will be compelled to hitch up his trousers and touch his cap to Admiral Edwards, of Portland, as he has been appointed to that position by the regatta committee, and his pennant will float over the flag ship of the squadron. Subject to the command of the Queen, he will be in supreme control of all tho acquatic sports. The average spectator takes very little interest in sitting in tho grandstand and watching a number of -sailboats pass by ' unless they have a personal Interest in j them. This would soon grow tiresome ' were it not for the variety of events given at the same time. One race is started immediately after another, and at one time there are a half dozen in progress. In addition to this there is a constant series of high-diving contests, swimming races, tub races, and every conceivable water sport that is amusing, even to swimmers trying to catch a ' duck. This looks easy, but the duck is i seldom caught. I The Cnrntvnl Prosrnmme. The formalities attending the opening i of the carnival will begin on Thursday morning, with a marine parade, headed by the royal yacht, with the Queen and her maids of honor on board. The Queen and her attendants will disembark at the grandstand, and upon reaching the throne she w 111 be crowned. Then Maaor Berg man will deliver an address of welcome to he Queen and all her suite, as well as to all the strangers in the city, and will present the Queen with authority over the city during her reign. Governor Geer will deliver the opening address, after which the Queen will direct that the sports be proceeded with. The for mal events will then follow In quick suc cession. The first race will be between gasoline launches. The first prize in this contest is a silver cup, valued at SSX With the exception of tho fishing-boat races, there win do more money won and lost on this race than on any other event. The contest between the launches will bo followed by the four-oared barge race between tho California crews. The cham pionship of California will be decided by this race. Then will come the Indian canoe race between two crews from Shoalwater Bay, i and as the winner gets tho entire prize, tne paddies win move fast. A swim ming raco will follow, and by this time it will be noon, and an adjournment will bo taken for lunch. In the afternoon there will be enough sailing races to satisfy any one who de lights in yachting. The first will be for fishing-boats, with working sails of the same character as are used during tho fishing season. As a rule, it takes a court of inquiry to Judge these fishing- boat contests, as the prize is considered j small In comparison with the honor of winning the event. After the fishing-boats shall have start ed, there will follow the Whitehall sail ing race, the catboat race, 20-foot sloop race, large sloops, cannery tenders, and scow schooners, which will make seven sailing races in progress at the same time over the same course, and all the "time In plain view from the grandstand. This not being sufScient. tho life-saving crews will give exhibition drills, and there will be greased-pole contests and slack-wire walking over the water, aa well as a punt race. At 9 o'clock the Queen will again as sume control of affairs, and will open the grand ball given In her honor. There will be given, a series of special dances for the entertainment of the Queen and her suite, after vihlch her majesty will direct her subjects to join in the fes tivities -with her. Friday morning an early start will be made and all the morning will be devoted to rowing races, in which crews from California and Oregon will compete. To provide further for the amusement of the crowd, there will be swimming races, Chi nese barge races, Indian canoe races and a balloon ascension, all to take place while the other events are in progress. The afternoon will be devoted principal ly to sailing races, the most Important of which will be for fishing-boats with racing sails, which permits tho fishermen to put as much canvas on their boats as they desire. This makes a race that any "farmer" can appreciate, and It will be "for blood," although there Is a large cash prize attached to it. The sloops will also be given another chance to prove which has the better skipper and crew, while there will be a succession of novei marine performances In the meantime. Including submarine diving, high diving and an exhibition by the lifesavlng crews. Saturday there will be a programme of the same general character, but varied and interspersed with novelties that the experience of past regattas has suggested. In the afternoon the field sports will be held on the beautiful new grounds of tha Astoria Football Club, that will be in per fect condition, and it will be a disap pointment if some record of tho Pacific Coast shall not be broken. The regatta will formally close in the evening with an illuminated marine parade, which will be one of the prettiest features of th carnival. Miss Louise Tallant, Queen of the Re gatta, has announced the selection of the MUb Tallant, Queen of Astoria Re gatta. following malds-of-honor to attend her: Miss Sue Elmore.

N FIN FOR THE OLD FOLKS BAKER COUNTVS SOCIETY; GIVEN ITS AimUAXi EXCURSION. "Went Over to Sumptcr and Had a Good Time Reminiscences Told by the Pioneers. BAKER CITY, Aug. 17. Yesterday was a red-letter day with the children of Baker County who are 62 years old and over, it being the occasion of the "First Old Folks' Excursion." The excursion was originated by tho Sumpter Valley Railway and carried to a successful end ing with the aid of committees of citizens of Baker City and Sumpter. The custom of "giving annually an Old Folks' Excuision originated 26 years ago with the Society of Friends In Salt Lake City, and is an event looked forward to by the older people as Christmas is an ticipated by the children. It Is a most beautiful and commendable sentiment. That the old folks of Baker County ap preciated the effort in their behalf and enjoyed the excursion to Sumpter today was 'fully attested by look and word. At 9 A. M. the train of six cars, bearing nearly 200 people, more than 130 of whom were over 62 years old, that being the age that entitled one to membership in the Old Folks' Society of Baker County. Tho remainder of the company was per mitted to Join the party by reason ot having an older companion, or being a member of a committee. The Journey to Sumpter was enlivened by music by the South Baker Male Quartet, and refresh ments served by the ladies. The citizens of Sumpter sustained their well-earned reputation tor hospitality. Several hundred people were at the depot to welcome the visitors, and every avll- able vehicle was placed at their dis posal. Ellis Hall was thrown open for the occasion, and after the visitors had Been the City of Sumpter, most of them for the first time, they assembled for the exercises of the day, which consisted of an address of welcome by N. C. Rich ards, of Sumpter. C. W. Nlbley, vice-president of the road, responded on behalf of the visitors. Mr. Nlbley was first to sug gest that tho company introduce the Old Folks' Excursion in Baker County, and In 24 hours after it was first mentioned the committees were at work. Uncle William, better known as "Kid," Simpson, told some of the experiences of early days at Sumpter. J. W. Reel was asked to give a history of the naming of the town. He helped build the first log cabin in the Sumpter Valley. It was built on the east side of what Is now called Cracker Creek, In 1863, and was one of the buildings in old Fort Sumter. At this time there were about a dozen men, who had come there from Missouri, and were In sympathy with the Boutn. The pio neers from Granite Creek In passing the Cracker Creek diggings frequently got in to controversy with their Southern neigh bors over the issues of the war. These scenes, following the bombardment of Fort Sumter, S. C, suggested the name Fort Sumpter for the Cracker Creek set tlement. Mr. Reel said the mountains near where the town of Sumpter now stands were in those days the home of mountain sheep and deer, while a. band of renegade Indians, probably Shoshones, Infested the country to the south. They professed friendship for the whites, but when occasion offered they would drive off the horses, and occasionally a man or two. This was the old gentleman's first visit to Sumpter since 1864, In which year he went to Idaho, where he remained till two years ago, when he came to Baker City. Judge E. C. Bralnard followed in a rem iniscent vein, recounting many Interesting experiences of early days at Auburn. He was the first Recorder of Baker Coun ty, and the manner of his election was unique as well as primitive, mere were two candidates for the office, Mr. Braln ard and a Mr. Lockwood. Mr. Lockwood was considered an Oregoman, and Mr. Brainard was just up from California. Whea the day came for election, which1 was held at Auburn, the opposing candi dates stationed themselves each on a Jog, and as the "name of an elector was called he took his stand with the man he wished to see elected. Those who considered themselves Oregonians voted for Lock wood, and the emigrants from California voted for Brainard; the Calif ornians be ing in the majority, elected their man. Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood were the sec ond couple married In Raker County, and Mrs Lockwood was the first school teacher. Some of the old folks who had passed through the same years and experiences as Mr. Brainard, called upon him to recite an original poem, referring to himself, which was composed in 1862 and recited at the Auburn Literary Society in that year. In the poem is represented a maiden In quest of a beau, and she is directed to where she will find Mr. Brain ard. ' S Following this the guests were seated at well-filled tables, supplied and waited upon by the ladies of Baker City and Sumpter. A recess was then taken, and the af ternoon was devoted to the rendition of an unusually fine musical programme, consisting of solos, quartets, choruses and Instrumental music. The orchestra from Baker City furnished good music while dinner was being served. At 5:20 the train started on the return trip to Baker, with a load of happy people who will long remember the day. Following Is a list of those who joined the society this year: Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Klnsey, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Adams, W. G. Umberger, Sam Williams, Edith Starr, Dr. J. P. Pilkington, Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

The Reward in Store for His Fine Worlc in China. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. The promi nence which General Chaffee has attained In the China campaign has already start ed some discussion as to a suitable re ward for him by promotion in tho reg ular Army. There seems to be no ques tion but that ho will get the next va cancy among the Brigadier-Generals of the regular Army, and some of his friends in the War Department talk of still higher honors for him, and It is quite possible that he will be selected for Ma-jor-General when the next vacancy oc curs. If this were done, he would be pro moted over the present list of Brigadier-Generals. General Chaffee is not mmm and far beyond the reach of mere local remedies. Those who rely upon them for a cure lose valuable time, meet with disap pointment and allow the disease to take tinner hold. Only a real blood remedy can reach this troublesome and dangerous disease.
