As considerable interest has been taken In the Willamette Valley, in the great foot race between Frank Law Is, of Cor vail is, and C F Gibson, which occurred at San Francisco, last Sunday, we glvo the tele graphic account of it, as published In the Portland "News." It shows what an "awful" uncertainty foot racing is, and may convey an idea of how scarce change will be for sometime among sporting men of Cor vail is : The 125 vard foot raee at Coutral Park thin afternoon between Charles F Gibson and Frank Lewis, proved to be one of the best contests of the kind ever seen on tite coast. The race was for fl.oeo a side. Previous to the race the liveliness ef the pools was extraordinary ,and as fast as the auctioneer could dispose of the tickets Lewis and Gibson Bold at $Q even up, with Lewis aa first choice. So wonderful ly confident were the Oregon man' sup porters that the odds finally went to their favorite, and a brisk business was done at 150 on Lewis to $46 on Gibson. When heavier betters had been satisfied pools still sold merrily at 820 on Lewis to fit ou Gibson, and these were the ruling figures when the men were called out. Toe track was sandy, heavy and uneven, and the finish was on an unfavorable incline. while the wind wss strong against the runners. At 4: 1 a o'clock Lewis appeared, and was soon attar followed by Gibson, As soon as the men strippel for the race It was evident that the race was Gibson's (tarring accident. After ten minutes practice scoring Gibson had the full measure of his man, and gtdng even with him over the mark a splendid race for eighty yards ensued. In the first fiftv vards Lewis showed remarkable speed. and the veteran ran rather wild In his ef fort to hold him. At eighty yards, how ever, the superior stride and flue condition of Gibson told, and com tug up with a rush he passed: tae Oregon lan at the 100 yard mark and won in fine style by two yards, lewis is said to nave lieen worth some money before the race, but be tost most ef it, ana his friends were completely strand ed. The discomfiture of the defeated run ner and bis backers, who lost some f 10,- 000 was painful, Lewts' brother In-law actual lr went, and the runner himself staggered into hU dressing room a picture oi nuutieraoie misery. stolen and Original Attempt at Wit. Senator Dolph is said once to have wit ceased a game of ball. When the umpire cried out "font" he asked a friend what breed it was. The old 8 tying that tlx rain fslls slike on the just and unjust does not apply to Ore gon, for the unjust here almost universally has the umbrella of the just. We generally gct wet Divers divorce cases in the present Circuit Court indicates a strong previous movement of broom handles. It was not an Oregon printer who took the manuscript of the editor's salutatory which read "we have come to stay" and made it read starve. Editors here think nothing of $137 a day.

We speak from experience. In Eugene the feet of some of tho people are so large that only one foot is allowed to make a verse. Millmen never oppose dancing. They believe in pumps.

On Thursday noon of last week the febedd Band, Prof Sibet, leader, came to Albany and remained till Friday noou. It was a picnic affair and a meat enjoyable one to them as well as those who were eatertained by their playing. On the evening ef that day the new Mechanics Band and the Albany City Band, of this city, all appeared on onr streets discours ing some very fine music, which was en thusiast icly received by the large crowds who turned out to bear it. It is not the Democrat's place to compare the playing of the Bands; the public, though, freely did this. If we ware asked to give the majority's vote it would not be a difficult thing to do. Beginning at nine o'clock a ball was given at Crawford's Hall in hon or of the Shedd Band. An attendance of about forty coo pie and excellent music by Richard's orchestra insured the good time which was had. S ' Chosen f riends social.

Twenty -seven specimens of handwriting by the puplis of the school taught by Mr S A DeVaney, near Lebanon, have been present ed the Democrat office, with a reqnest, for a decision as to the four cases of greatest improvement. The improvement in every case has been so great as to make the task presented this office a difficult one. Mr De Vaney has great reason te feel proud of his disciples of Spencerian. Nos. 7, 11, 12 and 14 were the numbers selected, not because they indicate a better hand now, bnt because their scribbling at the beginning of the term was the poorest in the judgment of this of. fice. Anniversary Services. On next Sunday morning at the Baptist Church the first anniversary services of the pastorate of Rey Brownson will be held, and in the evening the anniversary of the Sab bath School will be celebrated by appropri ate exercises by the scholars of the school. This church since its reorganizationjhas taken rapid strides and is now on a good footing.

A Purt!aad paper tells the following fish story : "Yesterday afternoon a number ef representative from the fish markets oi this city embarked on board the steamer Calliope to tee the launch of the Multnomah. Tbey were standing in a row along the rail whea a philosophical looking old sturgeon leaped out of the river on the guard of the boat, as if to get s better view of the launch. Hap pening to look op, he saw a row of t ab- ii lealcts with their eyes fixed upon him, evi- ' ill ally calculating hor much he would weigh when made into aea bass. With a frightened snort the astute fish leaped seek into bis native element, went down and a minute later came to the surface half a mile off, looking back to see if he was pursued. Seeing the fish men still standing ia a row and looking disconsolate, he put his tail se the end of his nose aed gently waved i, like a bony hand, at them and then went below to resume his regular business ef catching makers." Afterwards repeating he allowed himself to be caught, when he wss seat te Chsa. Metxger, of this city, oa whom Albaay people should call for first class fish. Sew Clothes Ite L.

Also a splendid Mneot new suits, dress and business, direct from the East, together with a fine assortment ot Brownsville goods, which are becoming quite popular. Consider This BHllgeaUy. Samuel E Young has just received another arge invoice of shoes from the celebrated factories of A. J. Holbrook A Co., Utica, New York. Geo. W. Ludlow A Co., Chicago, Illinois. The invoice consists of the latest styles in 'rench kid, American kid and Pebble Goat. Svery pair warranted. Wasted-vat Hair. There is a sort of pallid, chalky com plexion which the novel is ts call a" wash ed out complexion." It is ghastly enough, and no mistake. Washed-out. laded, discolored, er partl-colered hair is almost as repulsive and melancholy. Parker's Hair Balsam will restore your hair to its original color, wnatever it jras ; brown, auburn er black. Why wear moss on vour head, when jeu may easily have lively, shining hair.
