PAGE EIGHT. THE MORNING ASTORIAN, SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1901. ROWERS ARE INTERESTED Number of Entries in Regatta Events This Year Will Be Greater Than ever Before. COLLEGE RACE IS PLANNED .Crews From Berkeley. Stan .' font and Washington Univer sity to Take Part in Cham pionship Match. Chairman McBride of the regatta committee has returned from Portland, where he haa been working for the carnival While In the metropolis Mr. McBride secured a 1100 contribution to the fund from Henry Welnhard, the brewer, who stipulated that 125 should go to the Fourth of July fund and the balance to the regatta fund. "I find that the oarsmen and yachts men of Portland are quite as enthus lastic this year over the regatta as they have previously been," said Chair man McBride yesterday. "Portland will be liberally represented in ' the sailing and rowing events this year, and already the sportsmen of that city are making preparations for the car nival. "While In Portland I talked with Mr. Arnold of Arnold Bros., showmen, and, although there have been no def inite arrangements thus far, I am sat isfied we will have an excellent street show here in August We expect to close up this matter within a short time. "The hose team of Oregon City is anxious to participate in the regatta torunament, and there will be enough entries to make the event successful. with reference to. this matter shortly, Mr. McBride added that preparations for the carnival were well along, and that there was every indication of the 1904 event being more successful than any other ever held. There has not yet been a count of ballots in the queen contest, and probably will not be for a week, as only a limited num ber of boxes were placed when the con test was opened. Several other stores were provided with ballot boxes yes terday, and the voting will now be earnestly commenced. CHILDREN'S DAY We have decided to have a float in the Fourth of July parade at Portland as an advertisement for the regatta." Chairman McBride states that the rowing events will be quite interesting this year. So far as the Californians are concerned, they will be glad to come north, but the committee is anx ious that they bring shells instead of barges. , "Ail or tne nortnern crews use shells," said Mr. McBride, "and the Californians should bring shells in or der to make the competition success ful When they come with barges, they must compete with each other, and the events are therefore not so inter esting as where the Californians try conclusions with the oarsmen of the north. We shall endeavor to Impress this upon them. "We have not yet heard from the oarsmen of Victoria and Vancouver, B. C, but will receive a detailed report when Charles V. Brown returns to the city. Mr. Brown Is consulting with the British Columbians, and doubtless crews will be entered from each of the cities to the north. "We are now arranging for what should be one of the very best rowing races ever pulled oft on the coast. It Is the intention to bring together crews representing the University of Cali fornia, Stanford university and the University of Washington. We will no doubt get those crews together for the intercollegiate coast championship. An event of the kind will attract wide spread attention and add to the inter est of the carnival. We hope to be able to make a definite announcement (where. jm7 . . " . Will Be Properly Observed in Attorls Churches.

THE PATRIOT EDITOR and bravery and perseverance In the field will secure the Independence of America." Another motto, and to which he rigidly adhered, was "Open to all parties and influenced by none." In 17S6, the Massachusetts legisla ture Imposed a duty on all advertise ments published In the newpsaiwra of the state, Thomas thought this act laid an Improper restraint upon the press and he stopped the publication of his paper for two years, mitll the obnoxious law was repealed. When he resumed publication on April 3, 1788, he made the following editorial explanation to his readers: "The printer haa the happiness o, once more presenting to the publlo The Mass usetts Spy. or Worcester Oaxette, 'ength Is restored to its constitute- v Minks to our present, leglslatu after a sus pension of two years. Heaven grant that the freedom of the preass, on which depends the freedom of the people, may In the United States be ever guarded with a watchful eye, and defended from shackles of every form and shape until the trump of the ce lestlal messenger shall announce the final dissolution of all things." On the last page of his paper at that time, the editor published the following notice: "Printed at Worcester, Mass., by Isaiah Thomas, printer, bookseller snd stationer. Has a large Inland circular tlon In the commonwealth and the states of New Hampshire and Ver mom. jsine anuiings per annum. Advertisements not exceeding twelve lines Inserted three weeks for four shillings and three weeks longer for two shillings." The paper remnlned a weekly publi cation up to 1845, when It was Issued aa a dally. In point of continuous publication The Worcester Spy ranked fourth In the list of newspapers ori ginally start! In the colonies. The three other publications that are still In existence are the Newhampshlre Gazette, started In 1756; the Newport Mercury, started In 1758, and the Hart ford Couront, started In 1764, which has practically been the leading Con necticut newspaper from the time of its initial number.

The head is a part of a collection of relics of the native tribes of Brazil After being cut off, the head was Worcester Spy, 6ne of the few news papers In the United States that has been In continuous publication for over a century, the last publication lntlma eiv associated with the name of Isaiah Thomas is scarcely remembered at the present time, although during his active years he was recognled as one of the leading printers and pub Ushers In the country.

It waa started by Thomas In Boston In 1770 and within a few year sthe paper became known throughout the entire thirteen colonies from its fearless ut terances against British oppression So bold was the editor In thla respect that Governor Hutchinson, one year after the appearance of the paper, ordered that Thomas be prosecuted and the matter was brought before the grand Jury In Boston, but no cause for Indictment was found. JuBt be fore the battle of Lexington, however, Thomas considered It wise to move his press to Worcester, Massachusetts and there, with the exception of two or three years , the paper continued to be lssjied until financial reverses caused its suspension a week ago'. One of Thomas's mottoes during the Revolution was "Unanimity at home! Fog Aided the Russisns in Getting Away. Tcklo, June 17. (11 a. m.) It Is probable that the fog has again saved the Vladivostok squadron. Many ru mors are current of sn action at sia, but they are not confirmed. The Rus saln ships were first sighted off Oklno Island at 8:30 a. m., June 15, by a pa trol boat, which reported the fact to Vice Admiral Kamirnuiu at an un known base, who left in pursuit with his whole squadron.

Some one told the same youngster that If she wasn't clean of heart the bishop would pour a barrel of oil over her. As she was to wear a pretty dress and was not a little proud of the fact, she said: "I hope nobody tells that to mamma. I'll have to wear an old dress If they do." An Expensive City.

Just as she was about to start for the church a friend wanted to know If her father had been aHked to sing during the ceremony. A dis mayed expression swept across the child's face. "I shan't ask him," she said, "and I hope nobody else does. We'll all be badly enough frightened Yes, He Had a Note. A friend of Senator Patrick M.
