An unlooked for easterly wind that

the regatta sports yesterday morning,
but the program was much more satis

ous day. The weather was again nne.
except for fog. and the attendance was
even greater than on the opening day.
Queen Helen was scheduled to reach
the grandstand at 9:30, but long be
fore that hour the crowd had Hocked
to the waterfront.
The arrival of her majesty at the
big grandstand was an event of much
Interest. The flagship Bailey Gatzert
carrying Admiral Campbell and staff
and the maids of honor, who surround
ed the queen, started for the stand
shortly before 9:30, amid the deafening
din of the craft along the waterfront.
The flagship drew up In front of the
stand and her majesty took the throne.
The ladies committee in charge, Mrs.
Herman F. Prael. Mrs. W. O. Wilkin
son and Mrs. C. W. Fulton, headed the
royal procession, and were given an
ovation by the vast crowd. The queen
was heartily cheered as she stepped
from the flagship. Her majesty re
mained at the granWand until the
noon hour.
The morning was devoted to rowing
races and the minor events, while the
sailing races and gasoline launch races
took place In the afternoon. After the
boats had been sent away the crowd
repaired to Bond and Commercial
streets, where the hose races took place.
The tournament attracted much In
terest, and there was general disap
pointment when the Astoria team
failed to win the big event of the day.
Today there will be racing on the
water ud to the noon hour. In the
afternoon the field meet will be held.
Lacrosse and championship baseball
games will be played, and the meet
promises to be the most successful
ever held In this city. Running races
are also scheduled as part of the pro
gram. The field day sports will com
mence at 1:30.
EVENTS OF THE FORENOON.
Vancouver Oarsmen Successful in Ca
noe and Shell Races.
The opening event of the morning
was the cutter race. In which crews
from the lighthouse tenders Manzanita
and Heather and warship Wyoming
participated. The representatives of
the navey were never In it, and the
race developed into a struggle between
the lighthouse tender crews. After an
exciting contest, the Manzanita crew
won out and regained the laurels lost
yesterday.
The double-paddle canoe race was
the big event of the morning, and the
oarsmen all evinced great Interest In
the outcome. Vancouver was to have
entered two crews, but could get only
one boat, which was manned by L. J.
Bond and L. Robertson. Three Port
land pairs entered Gloss and Kirkley.
Lamberson brothers and Williamson
and Vandeluer. Lamberson brothers
once won the Canadian championship
In the double-canoe event.
Vancouver lost the toss and was re
quired to take the outside course. The
water was very rough and the British
Columbians had all the worst of It.
Lamberson brothers capsized after pad
dling a short distance, and similar dis
aster overtook Williamson and Van
deluer. The Vancouver men paddled
strongly In the rough water and se
cured a good lead. Toward the finish
Gloss and Kirkley got Into smooth
water and began gaining on the north
erners. The latter pluckily stuck to It
however, and won by half a length.
The victory of the Vancouver men was
a notable one, as there were three
JPortlnnd canoes entered against them.
The Four-Oared Race.
The four-oared shell race was not a
success. The rough water made mat
ters extremely difficult for the oars
men, and for a time It seemed the race
could not be held. However, the Van
couver men agreed to take n chance
and the Portlanders acquiesced.
The British Columbians pulled much
the better stroke and soon took the
lead. The men found it difficult to row.
but continued the race. After about
half the distance had been covered the
Portland shell was swamped. At the
time the Vancouver four was fully
three lengths In the lead, and even
had the Portland shell not swamped
the men from the north would have
won handily. The Portland four start
ed with a 42 stroke, but, pulling a 36
stroke, the Vancouver crew easily
passed them.
The losers are anxious to have the
race rowed again. The Vancouver men
are willing, provided the same crew
mans the Portland shell. The swamp
ing of the Portland shell does not af
fect the validity of the victory, but the
true sportsmen from the north are
willing to do the right thing.
Senior Single Postponed.
The senior single shell race, the Pa
cific coast championship event, was
not rowed yesterday, because of the
rough water. This event is the most
important of the regatta. It waB
scheduled to have taken place yester
day, but the men would not go out.
The entries are Gloss, Smid and Pat
ton, all ' of Portland, and Shearer of
Vancouver. If the water is smooth
the rate will take place at 9 this
morning. Should the course again be
rough, the committee may have the
event rowed on Youngs bay. It is
pretty generally conceded that Gloss
has a cinch on the championship, as
he holds the medal at the present time.
Shearer will try hard for first place,
bue his frends admt that he has little
chance.
The race for Astoria fours did not
In the rough water.
Three boats from the Wyoming took
part lit a contest that evidently was of
great Interest to those uboard the war
vessel. The crews seemed evenly
matched and the finish was close
enough to arouse the enthusiasm of
the marines.
York race to the Oregon City team
yesterday afternoon. The first event
was the dry test, which had always
been the hoodoo. However, the A-
torlun easily won, covering the dls
tame ht 33 seconds. Oregon City's

The New York race was the big event

were anxious to capture It. Vun
