(Cuutlnucd from Page On.) turo will be truthful portrayals of th lives of these iiuiimrUU. True, their recognition has been tardy, but It may be said, In way of extenuation, that it will,' at least U ample. Promptly at 10 o'clock this morning the reception to Princess Sacajawea and her retinue will begin. The princess will be Impersonat ed by Mrs. Laura Malar one of Astoria's handsomest young matrons. Mrs. Malar will be characteristically garbed In ab original robes. She will be attended by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, George Noland and A. M. Smith assum Ing these roles. The ceremonies will be accompanied by pomp worthy of both the city and the occasion. And the in itial ceremony will nut be wanting in proper manifestation of patriotism, th rendition of the "Star Spangled Ban- tier" being one of the first number on the program. The princes and her at tendant will l received in person by Mayor Surprenant. Following, United States Senstor Charles W. Fulton, a statesman who enjoys an enviable repu tation as a post-prandial orator, will deliver the opening address and it may be expected that he will burst forth Into a strain of brilliant oratory that will meet with hearty approbation on every hand, At II a. m., the Ridmen will partlci- mte In thi-ir imKirUnt and appropriate art of the festivities, ft will require nit little Imagination to carry one' bought to the esrlicr epoch of this marvelous l'licillc Northwest on gating at the impresKive tnblcnux which will Is' nlTcred on the Imrge in front of the grand-tuml. Princess Sacajawea, after receiving the keys of the city, will be escorted to her wig wain by Chief Con eonily and his trilie of braves. "The great pnradn this afternoon wilt lie by fur the most brilliant pageant ever ecti In the afreet of the city. Fan fare of trumpet, the stirring melody of martial music, the rat i tat of the snares, the dull thud of the ha-s drum, and the fierce blast of fishhorn will add to the festal air. Probably 2,(100 men will par ticipate in the parade, representing the military, civic and fraternal bodies. At night the event of the first 24 hours of the regatta will take place the marine parade. This will lie typical ly a regatta feature. Steamers of the United States lighthouse service, coast llnersjlver boats, the quarantine and . customs boats, small steamers, gasoline launches, yacht and nshboat, made at tractive with thousands of Japanese lan terns and manned with hilarious crews , armed with horns and accordion will be seen in gala array. Under the able supervision of Grand Marshal Dr. Haylis If. Karlc arid his njtant, Mcr. Babbidge and Goodcll, the marine pa rade will lie a riever to lie forgotten sight. All In all, the first day of the regatta will lie most pretentious, but it will be no more so than the dnys following. The visitor will find the city In fitting attire. The the business men have stood loyally by the committee in mak- fing the enterprise a success is well at j tested by the appearance of their place f business. The decorations compare favorably with those of any previous regatta and in many Instancea consid erable taste has been displayed. Some of the window displays are exceptionally good. Apparently a good-natured riv alry has existed among the merchants, this being exemplified by the originality of the decorative schemes and their ex cellence. When not buy viewing the parades or other features of the regatta, the visitor will do well to meander Into the country fair, where he will find on exhi bition a representative display of the products of Clatsop county. It make little difference whether the pilgrim is agriculturist, artisan, speculator or pro fessional ma&e-he will find much to in terest him, for there is no county In the State of Oregon where opportuntics are so diversified. A visit from local people will not be amiss the display ha al ready astonished more than one As- torian.
