J THE MORNING A STOW AN ASTORIA ORE FRIDAY, SXPTIMSER I, 1905 FESTIVITIES ND Eleventh Annua! Regatta now a Matter of History. IT PROVES A GREAT SUCCESS Greatest of All Regattas Comes to End Final Ceremonies TJnrler Most Propitious Auspices' Gratification Expressed cn Every Hand. The third and final day of Astoria's Eleventh Annual Regatta oened under most propitious Ajnpit"es. The weathr was charming, the great crowds were eager for more entertainment and the program was strong enough to gratify their every deire. By 9 o'clock the waterfront was swarming with the visit ing thousands intermingled with other thousand of home people, the pride, of the latter rising apace with the un stinted symptoms of pleasure exhibited by the former. J k The scheduled event were not put in motion for some little time after the grandstand was filled, but the interum va supplied with a series of fun-making episode that successfully weathered the delav. Professor Duroe. the sub marine diver, did some of hi fanciest stunt. Spencer and Weston divided honors in a lively log-rolling contest. Skibbe did his 70-foot jump and Church followed with high dives, and both led the uproar on the greased pole, both capturing the flag at its seaboard end. And the pranking only ceased at 10:30 when the Princess Sacajawea arrived on her matutional visit to the grandstand. Vheu the Electro had borne her away amid the acclaim of the host, she passed the signal to the judges on the Man zanita and the sports of the day began in earnest. The motor fishboats, three in num ber, lined up for the initial race, and got away in fine shape. Charles Olsen crossed the line first in 1:02:11, his op ponents winning out, however, on a four-minute handicap by a margin of 32 seconds. Edward Glas and Dr. Patton wont over the course in single .liells with nothing loot to either in the get away. Gloss taking a victory in :4l by a length. P. Simmons took the 40 purse Sn the fishboat rowing race, which followed, J, O. Lott capturing the second priw of $.10, and J. Toils, the third, of 10, The fourth man in was Andrew Ie, who took his discomfiture with apparent good humor. T. Trullinger and H. I- Knight held the only places in the start of the gaso line pleasure launches, and Knight had to push hard to save the race on a two second leeway. Richard Bond then made a wonder ful showing in a hotly contested canoe event, alone, against Dent and Glos. He was allowed 20 yards to ex-en up, and practically maintained that lead at the finish. Dent took the single canoe trophy away from Bond in the race that fol lowed, and did it after a sharp struggle with the backwater from a passing steamer. The four-oared pleasure boat race be tween Bond and Pent, and I'pton and Ptto. was a well pulled effort and closed with the hist named gentlemen in a lead that could not be bragged upon. Gloss took final honors for the morn ing from Patton in the single pleasure loat race, and this closed the program for the forenoon. Everything went off without a hitch or hindrance, and tins immetf con course dwindled slowly, yet- happily, cityward, in search of such further re freshments as were seasonable, satis fying and calculated to fortify them for the strain of pleasure arranged for them during the afternoon. In the net throwing contest" (anchor start, tent up. coffee pot boiling, John EkhjflaXtook the first prize; Vino Koski, secondhand H. Heudiickson, third.

The case of the State of Oregon vs Maney of having eommitteed assault on the person of Evart Hjartin, both employed at the Clatsop mill received an airing in the justice court yesterday The defendant who to judge from bis name i a wee bit Irish" conducted nis own ease, and from the testimony of himself and witnesses it seems that for the past year young Hjartin who is of Finish' extraction and of a pug nacious disposition, had on several oc casion spread pitch and grease and even expectorated profusely on the lum ber which the defendant had to handle. MeManey protested against the habit and was promptly offered a chance to fight it out, but he, thotigl a large man ia a cripple, avoided it until hap pening to slip and fall Hjartin rushed at him while he was down, he then grab lied a piece of iron pie about two feet in length a hi ordered him to stop. Hjartin did so for an instant but think ing he could duck under the blow he threw himself forward and received an upward blow on the side of the head making an uly cut. On seeing that he had knocked the man down MeManey offered to help him up but it was unnecessary as be. sprang up and ran for tlie mill. Later however, he became faint and MeManey assisted him to the car, pay ing his fare, and proffering him money with which to pay his doctor bill. Jus- tice Goodman reserved bis decision un til later.

The Sheriff of Clatsop Makes an Im portant Discovery in the Jail Sheriff Thomas l.lnvllle of this county has In force a rule that may stand him well in hand as a eonnter-play against the murderous tendencies that actuate some of the miserable creatures of whom he is the official custodian, and that is, at odd and frequent Intervals, to in spent the cells ,of the county Jail for evidences of attempted escape, or the more serious purjioses of vicious assault on the officers who are brought in per sonal contact with the prisoner day by day, ' He is wise in his day, as was proven yesterday morning when after rigid and uncompromising scrutiny of the cells ana their inmates, he brought to' light three vicious, amateur weapons, a billie, a tomahawk and a knife, any of which could have been used by a desperate man to the complete undoing of any less careful officer. The billie was the least harmful of the three, Wing too light in construction to stun or bruie and the conclusion at headiiai ters is it was not finished. A short, sharp knife made from the broken half of a easeknife. with a handle of wood lsmnd on with hemp twine, and the last, a nameless sort of contrivance wrought of old unit, the pointed frame of an old iron bracket and part of a broomhandle, all tightly welded in the same hemen stuff, and stout enough to deliver a killing blow. These choice specimens of criminal inge nuity now figure in the cabinet main tained by the sheriff for such curiosities, and it is deemed an infinitely better place for them than where they were found. The responsibility for their manufac ture rests among the five Inmate of the jail now awaiting trial at the Sep temlsr term of the circuit court, name ly, Biacmer, for forgery; Petersen, for burglary; Scaborg, for salmon theft; Stockton, for swindling, and Riley, for uurglary. They may have liecn aided by friends from the outside, but such a conclusion is rendered dubious by the nature of the stuff employed in the construction of the weajKins.
