THURSDAY, AUGUST i j, , jofl. MS LIKE A DEAL THREE JOLLY DAYS THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTOItIA, OREGON. " - , : , 1 Grant-RicKard Morrison'Herford i Gans Combination feared. CHANCE TO MAKE A FORTUNE Suntiicinn Growinz Tht Nelson Will Lay Down , to Gans Crooked Combination to Handle Fight on the Square.. The Oakland Tribune seems to think that the Gans-Nelson fight will not be pulled off on the aquare as the following article taken from that paper aaya: Here is the atory told me by a man who has known more of the inside workings of the crooked prizefights pull ed off in this city during the past four years than even the principals employed to pull off the fake. Naturally it deals with the coming go at Goldfield be tween Battling Nelson and Joe Cans: "I am convinced, he says, "that the Goldfield match will be a hippodrome. Just who is to 'go out' I wouldn't say, but to me it loks though Nelson is to lay down and so the thousands who are going to bet that (Jans will quit, basin? their assumption on his past record, will be effectually double-crossed. "The whole affair has a very nasty look. In the first place Al Herford is still the actual manager for Cans. Some time ago they were supposed to have parted for ever, but I know that Herford has something on Gana that compels the Coon to do anything he says. "Herford fop a number of years has handled his betting through the Grants, who conduct pooling rooms at Portland. The Grants and Tex Riekard who ia at the head of the club that has offered a $30,000 purse for the Goldfield row, are inseparable.- Morrison, who was promi nently mentioned to referee the battle, is a protege of the Grants. He recently ran a gambling house at Tonopah and from time to time has refereed fistic battles in the vicinity of Spokane, Portland and Seattle. "He refereed the fight that Gans had with Holly outside of Seattle a couple of weeks ago. In that battle Holly weighed 150 pounds, while Gans fought at about 138. Gans was awarded the decision at the end of the bout. "If the fight is to be crooked, it would be very easy for the Grant-Rickard-Morrison-Herford-Gans combination to turn a trick. Now most people think that Gans ia going to lay down because they think that if the fight ia on the square he can punch the head off all the Battling Nelsons the world ever Program of the Twelfth Annual Astoria Regatta.

It is hoped the merchants and citizens generally will not spare time nor trouble in putting their places of business ana homes in gala attire for the great water fete, and that colors of the regatta, white and lilne, will be consipcuous everywhere. Special mention will be made of the most beautiful displays throughout the city, and every effort, big and little will be deeply appreciated by the committee, as such exhibitions as this, will serve to enhance the beauty and success of the regatta. It is said by those intimate with tha details that the night parade on the waters of the bay will exceed in beauty and numbers of craft in line, all prev ious records and effects at illumination, and that it will be the piece d' resist ance of the week. Two of the most export log-rollers in the country have been secured for the contest in that line, Spencer of Port land, and Anderson of Carson, Washing ton, and that a number of the best men on the Columbia will narticinate. The contest here this year involves the championship of the Northwest, and promises to he one of the livest of the sporting events on the regatta schedule, The land tug of wpr will transpire in the building wherein the country dance is to he held, and will take place during an intermission in the dunces There can1 be nos eartlJy question raised as to the quality of the music that is to brighten the days and nights of the festal season. Brown's splendid twenty-fivc-piece band of Portland, that has delighted the metropolitan thou sands for the past three or four months, will be in constant evidence and will be augmented by the Eagle band, of this citv: and both will give the best of their skill and energy, at the grand regatta ball, and at all the minor events of the days and nights of pleasure programed. The Oregon Yacht Club has a fine showing of vessels listed for the racing nlcaMire of the half-week, with the Anona as flagship of the fleet of eleven entered. The list Is as follows Vessel Skipper Cla Anona......F. D'Arey "C." Owyhee.'... .0. Dippell "11." Synamos...J. It. lloneyman "IV Zephyr II. . llannon "B." Comet H. T. Todd "B." Tyee T. C. Barber "B." Outside Boats. Hoot Mon... Mr. Mackie "II." Elaine Mr. Austin . "B." Naiad Mr.Kelray "C." Corsair Mr. Meyers "C Gadlly Mr.Shivcly "C." This dainty little llect will 1 aug mented by scores of fine launches, local and foreign, and hundreds of other pleasure craft, besides all the local steamers ore billed to contribute In every way possible, so that ther will I spaces nor hours without something of interest going on afloat. The regatta ball on the first night will lie one of the star event, not only of the carnival season, but of the As toria social season, and the grand march will be led by Queen Esther I, her six teen naval aides; Admiral F. D. Kuett nr, nd hi staff of officers, the phalanx to be completed by the thousand of visitor and hmeeople. The hall had not leen determined upon at noon yes teday, but will be known and declared in tomorrow's A-torian. The decora tions are to lie unstinted and beautiful as volumnes of rich material and the best taste in the city can device, and the whole affair will lie among the things by which this regatta may be recalled. The kennels for the Clatsop county bench show are being put up by Chair man Ed. Llewelyn, in the wct wing of the new court house, and that means that they are being properly built and arranged in all ways. He intend to make the bench in model shape to secure the separate security of every dog en tered, and he has already entered 40, with room for 55, and plans for adili- tonal rom for a 100 on top of those. No person need feel any uneasiness on the score of the safety or the care hi or her doir will 1 given. The accomino dations are all detached, roomy and safe, and the best attentin will lie paid to all exhibits, and the kennels will be handsomely decorated in the regatti colors, and is bound to lie one of the leading feature of the "twelfth an nual." Manager Jensen is woifcing night and day to round out the utility and beaut)' of the County Fair exhibit room on tin center of the new court house and oix'c this fine department is stocked with exhibits it will play a prominent part in the history of the 190(1 regatta Everywhere, and In all hands, the best and brightest of entertainment of all descriptions, is underway, In behalf of the coining hind and water show, and there will be no disappointment to shadow the big event unless the weather falls down, theoretically, and literally, and of this mischance there is little to anticipate. Yesterday the Linen Thread Company of New York, through its resident agents in this city, Messrs. Fisher Brothers Company, made the handsome donation of 75 pounds of No. 30 salmon twine, as a first prize for the fishing boats race on the first day of the coining regatta. This is in accord with this company generous acknowledgment of the famous water festival at Astoria, as they never miss a season without making some such presentation in this behalf, and it is most thoroughly appreciated by the general committee and all others con cerned. The regatta committee has added an Unique and valuable feature to the ar rangements for this year's regatta, by leasing the Hess retsaurant room, on Eleventh street, near Bond, for the re gatta days, as a reception room and place of rest for ladies and children; the place will be equipped with chairs, lounges, mirrors, cots for the babies and little people, and all conveniences so much in demand on such occasions.
