TWELVE CLUBS COMPETE Cities of California, "Washington and Oregon. Will Take Part In a pcstlval of Song at the Exposition Today. AD30SSION5. 31,269. Th admissions department reported last nisht that 21.269 visitors passed through the rates at the Lewis and Clark ExpoitUon yesterday. This makes the total attendance to date 1.457,740. This Insures the figures reaching the million and a half mark by the first of next month. Few conventions or special events have brought so many Pacific Coast people to Portland and the Exposition as has the Norwegian Sangerforbund. Last evening a conservative ostlmate of 3003 was placed on the number of people from Coast points, who are here to attend the singing-bee In the Audi torium tonight, and to take part In the reunion which tho Norwegian peo ple will enjoy until Monday morning, when most of them will return to their home towns. So unexpectedly lar,ge was the at tendance from outside points that a committee was sent out last nl'gnt to withdraw Auditorium tickets which had been set apart for local distribu tion. It was tho idea of the commltteo in chargft that those who had come from a. distance to hear the singing bee should be given every opportunity to get inside tho Auditorium, which will undoubtedly be crowded to the doors. In all there are 12 singing clubs, ag gregating 250 singers. The clubs vary In membership from 16 to 25 singers. The Astoria club has 45 members. All BRYAN INVITED TO THE FAIR. The following telegram """as sent to William Jennings Bryan yesterday by President Coode: Portland, Or., Aug. 26, 1&05. Hon. William Jennings Bryan, Lincoln. Neb.: On behalf oi Lewis and Clark Centennial management I take pleas ure In extending yon a hearty invlta tatlon to visit this Exposition. We should like to schedule a special day in your honor and give banquet ac cordingly. Please wire it agreeable, designating date ior these functions. H. W. OOODE. President Lewis end Clark Centennial Exposition. thePe voices will be heard In choruses tonight and between the choruses, the competition of the various clubs will occur. The contest will be close as the reward Ik the Sangerforbund cup. The Seattle Club now holds that trophy and will work hard to retain It. The clubs which will take part In the con test are from San Francisco. Eureka, Barlow, Cal.: Tacoma, Seattle, Ever ett, Astoria. Ballard, Parkland, Waslu and Portland. Two clubs hall from Ballard. A grand rehearsal was held at Arlon Hall yesterday afternoon. There were 22S singers and they spent the after noon drilling. The rehearsal was In charge of Professor Carlo Asperati, of Tacoma. Arlon Hall is being used as to th square foot on that outro thor oughfare than can be discovered this side tho limits of an .opium dream. To portray all that awaits the in trepid explorer into that land of heter ogeneous sights and sounds would find one edition of the paper woefully in adequate not to mention the propor tionate incapacity of my descriptive powers. However, to convey an Idea although perforce a weak one of some of its marvels, I might remark that for A trivial outlay one may emulate the melancholic Dante, and get on sociable terms with the dwellers of a certain demoniac region on. the other side of Norwegian headquarters and hundreds are registered there. Today will be spent by the visitors at the Exposition. They have planned to enter the Fair with the opening ot tho gates and remain there during the day. Arrangements have been made for entertaining the singers at dinner In the Administration restaurant from 2 to 5 o'clock. The entire second floor of that place has been set apart for this purpose. The Sangerforbund will commence promptly at 3 o'clock In the Audito rium. The greater Norwegian com posers will be represented and a num ber of famous compositions will be included in the programme, which promises to be a rare musical treat. Tho committee in charge of arrange ments is made up of F. C. Hagemann, A. Aune, L. Libak. a Tochle, O. Ha goes, F. A. Tomte, S. Byrkland, J. M. 8terrud, H. Lange. J. O. Berg and O. H. Anderson, J. Wyck. FIREMEN'S DAY AT THE FAIR Veteran Volunteers of San Francisco In Attendance.. The feature of Firemen's day at the Lewis and Clark Exposition yesterday was the presence of 70 members of tho Veteran Volunteer Firemen's Association, of San Francisco. In the morning tho veterans gave a parade on the grounds. They wer all attired In red shirts ana blue trousers, and presented a very strik ing appearance. The members of the association assem bled at the main gates of tho Exposition at about 11 o'clock In the morning. They were met by the Admlnlstratlonn band, and the Exposition Fire Department. They marched through tho grounds for fully 15 minutes. At times they were heartily cheered by the visitors on tho grounds. No exercises were held. The members of the association are men who belonged to the old volunteer fire departments of San Francisco, which were replaced many years ago by a paid department. When the paid department was inaugurated, most of the members of the San Francisco volunteer organiza tion severed all connection In this line. Some of them, however, have been mem bers of paid departments. For years tho members of the association in San Fran cisco have been making trips to various points of Interest along the Pacific Coast. This year they naturally selected Port land, because of the Exposition. They return to their homes early this week, having been In Portland since last Tues day. Practically all of the men are far past the middle ago of life. Eagles Hit the Trail. Yesterday was Eagles' day at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, but while there were several thousand members of this order at the Fair no exercises were held. The Eagles were not very much In evi dence during the morning and afternoon at the Exposition, but at night they took tho Trail by storm. As a result the Trail was probably livelier last night than at any time since the Exposition has been open. Nebraska Exhibit. Free moving picture exhibitions. Ne braska Pavilion. Agricultural Palace. Dr. Broughcr Returns. Bev. J. W. WTiltcomb Brougher, tho minister at the White Temple, will be In his pulpit today for the first time In five weeks. He has been on an extended trip to California, where he delivered a series of lectures and addresses at var ious Bible assemblies. He preached In Oakland and Stock'ton and spent a few davs on a larse ranch near the latter J city. For the last week he has been at J Gcarhart, Oregon, with his family, enjoy ; lng the seashore and playing golf. He i has returned to his work greatly Invlgor I ated and will preach tonight on the sub. j Ject: "Was Jesus Christ a Christian?" This sermon Is a sequel to Dr. Joslah Strong's great sermon of last Sunday. At the morning service at the White Temple Dr. C. A. Moody will tell the story of hlj recent trip to Europe, with special reference to tho Baptist World Congress he attended In London. President Slionts' Yacht Burns. MOBILE; Ala.. Aug. 26. The yacht Mar guedora. owned by President Shonts, of the Panama Commission, was destroyed by fire at Carabelle, Fla., last night. the Stygian river. Here Is a rare op portunity to become accustomed to the place. Differing somewhat Is the baby In cubator. I conceive this marvelous in vention to be a manifold blessing to our distracted country: not only Is it expected to eradicate the race suicide evil, but It will relievo very decidedly a condition which has been the bane of republics from time immemorial hereditary caste. If the incubator was a universal mother, a weighty problem would be solved. The term "best fam ilies" would become a misnomer. Of course some minor distinctions might be manifest in regard to the respective FUST OF LANTERNS Japan's Great Day at the Cen tennial Exposition. GREAT WATER CARNIVAL Aquatic Floats Will Join In Pro cession 'on Guild's Lake Form ing a Beautiful Oriental Floral Pageant. Fair Japan will have her day at the Lewis and Clark Exposition on the even ing of Thursday. August 31. It will be the "Feast of Lanterns.' in honor of the Crown Prince of Japan's birthday, and will be participated In by the Jap anese Government itself, through Its of ficials In Portland. In the present In stance It Is expected that the "Fearit of Lanterns" may also be a grand peace Jubilee, but whether or not peace bo de clared by that time Japan's day at the Exposition will be a crowning event ot gaiety, grandeur and beauty, with music -and flowers, glitter and glare, and a brll Hant water carnival, such as has never been witnessed on this Coast. The Japanese Government, Japanese merchants and the Exposition together have raised a large fund for the "Feast of Lanterns." and the work of prepara tion has been placed in tho hands of ex perts In the production of gorgeous pa geants and magnificent carnivals. The gen era! arrangements are In charge of George L. Hutchlns. an expert In getting up Mar dl Gras carnivals, at New Orleans, and Veiled Prophet's parades at St. Louis for years; Y. Kushlblkl, the Japanese com missioner, who knows how the grand and spectacular events are produced In Fair Japan; and aiding them are J. Alba, J. Ito, M. Kuskl and M. Shlmo, prominent Japanese business men. The beautiful floats are being constructed by J. A. Gor man, an artistic designer and builder. Tho big water carnival will begin promptly at 3 o'clock on the evening of August 31. There will be Japanese lan terns and red fire everywhere. The en tire Exposition grounds will be In gala attire, for Japan never does things by halves. Eight beautiful floats are being made for the occasion. The first In line will bo Admiral Togo's flagship, a modern battle ship, GO feet long, with fighting top. big guns and Everything ready for action. The next float will bo the representa tive of peace. On one side of It will be a wounded Russian bear, crippled and makes of the apparatus, but this. It is thought, would be Insignificant In Its consequences. Then there Is tlie erudite equine. A learned horse, that by comparison might make many a college president look like a tyro. In the haunted swing is to be en Joyed the rather unique sensation of a perambulation on the celling. This Is accomplished without ill effects In fact. I Incline to the belief that It is. If anything, salutary producing a f healthful activity in the gastric area. , Distinctive is the Blue Grotto, where you mas observe, thrllllngly pictured, the creation of the world. This should &' HsEa i "iaiaiH 3v VHa.' ' tH 11 ' ' K. Kusblbfkl. Japanee Commissioner. , .. bleeding, and a Russian cannonk broken and wrecked. Nearby stands a victorious Japanese soldier, ready ior war, while Columbia, as a messenger of peace, stands between the two warring factions. The peace Coat will be 50 feet long, and from all parts of it will be flying white doves held by silken strings. Next In line will be the Mikado's float, containing Jhe glided throne of the ruler of Japan. Standing on one step of. the throne will be a figure representing Com modore Perry, the American naval officer who broke the barrier which separated Japan from the outside world and took the first step which led to the transforma tion of Japan from a semi-barbarous na tion to the great, progressive and en lightened Japan of today. Just beyond Commodore Pern, on a lower step of the throne, a figure of Admiral Togo will stand, and on tho next step will be Gen eral Oyama. These three great officers will be clad In the most gorgeous uni forms ever witnessed in America, each uniform costing about 51300. Following the Mikado's float will be the great flower of Japan, the chrysanthe mum. The, float will represent an Im mense chrysanthemum, 12 feet In diame ter, and In the center of the flower will sit a Japanese child. Guarding the great chrysanthemum will be seen the sacred blue dogs of Japan, and over It will wave gorgeous flags and banners. The next float will contain six storks and four gigantic turtles., typifying the long life of Japan, the belief being that the stork lives 1000 years and tho turtle 10.000 years, hence the selection of these creatures to represent long life for the Mikado's kingdom. An ancient Japanese houseboat, typical of the ancient merchant marine of old Japan, comes next. This is followed by a floating tea garden, with Geisha girls, showing the simple life of Japan. The eighth float contains an immense dragon, 40 feet long, behind which pits a figure of tho Japanese god of war. These floats will be artistically decorated and strung with gaudy lanterns and gay ban ners. Six steam launches in gorgeous array will contain the president and other offi cials of the Exposition and the several states and territories represented at the Exposition, members of the press and others as guests of honor. Attached to every launch will be ten rowboattt also decorated and lighted with Japanese lan terns of brilliant colors. They will be occupied by other guests and officials of the Exposition and persons connected with the carnival. Tho ladles of the party will all be gowned In white to add to the ar tistic effect by contrasting with the glare of red fire so much In evidence on Guild's Lake that evening. Fine Musical Programme. In addition to the boats mentioned, there will be four gondolas containing singers from the Carnival of Venice Company, Hawallans with guitars and mandolins and other instruments and singers from all nations. These gon dolas will slowly circle around the majestic floats and gorgeous launches, furnishing sweet music to enliven tho occasion. Precisely at the hour of 9 o'clock, music will burst forth from a massed band of 100 musicians on Government Island, and tho beautiful array of boats will sail out from the light house in majestic splendor, in a zig-zag course across the lake to a point oppo site a magnificenL Japanese pavilion to be erected near Gray boulevard bandstand. The line of boats will then counter march to the starting point, and as they approach the center of the lake, their occupants will engage In a war of roses. The air will be filled with flying roses, made all the more beautiful by the brilliancy of the red fire and thousands of flying rockets and bouquet bombs. . The masst,! bands with anvil chorus, and the roar of cannon for bass, will provldo enough noisy melody to dead en the-din of the bursting rockets arid hissing shells. Flashes from a thou snnd Roman candles, all fired from many points toward the center of the lake, will produce a veritable volcano of fire, and those who visit the Expo sition on Japan's big night will wit ness a sight never to be forgotten. The Japanese "Feast of Lanterns," on the evening of August 31, will be one of the most brilliant spectacular events of the Exposition, an event in which Jnpanese pride Is deeply Inter ested and the Empire of Japan is one of tho leading spirits, contributing time, talent and money to assist In making this great Japanese holiday the dav of all days at the Western World's Fair. ' ,be peculiarly interesting, to the many who think they own it. The Carnival of Venice Is an apoca lypse to the esthete. The animal show offers unusual in ducements to the zoological student In its Incomparable assemblage of trucu lent denizens of field and forest. While on the subject of natural his tory, there Is the exhibit of Cartoonist Davenport, of which I could say much, were I not choked with professional Jealousy. But as there really Is no end to the features of this bedlam of pleas ure, there would be none to this paper were I oven to enumerate them. HARRY MURPHY.
