Qua ity and Style; MEMORANDA FROM SEA AND RIVER NEW STEAMSHIPS TO ENTER ASTORIA WATERS ON TUES DAY BUCRAINA ARRIVES IN FROM HONOLULU-NOTES. On Tuesday next, the sister-ship of the Francis Leggett, and the newest member of the Hammond fleet, the 6iti:nship George W. Fenwick, will enter this oort for the first time, and dock at the milling plant of her own ers at the Tongue, the Hammond Lumber Company. She was built at Newport News, and came around the Horn in April last, and has been en gaged in the lumber trade between Eureka and San Pedro on the Califor nia coast She is 295 feet long and carries over 2,000,000 feet of lumber.

The British steamship Bucrania en tered port yesterday morning, from Honolulu, and went on, without de lay, to the metropolis, where she will go on the drydock at once. When the American naval fleet arrived at Hono lulu the Bucrania had the misfortune to bntt into the ram of one of the monsters and crack a plate below the water-line and just opposite her No. 3 hatch. The reliable old Lurline was on the dot last evening with a good load of freight and plenty of people for this city, and went back well fixed above and below stairs. The next time she touches here Harry Blanchard and Jack Moran will be in charge of her offices. The steamship Rose City reached TEA If the tea is good you ask for a second cup; if not, you ask for the money. Yonr grot'' returni yonr mover U yo doo't St Schilling's Rett; w par bin. the O.

Several people were disap pointed for the trip at this place. The handsome pilot schooner Jo seph Pulitzer came in from her cruis ing ground yesterday after her monthly stoie of supplies and will go back to the bar tomorrow some time. The steamer Eureka went to sea from this port yesterday morning at 6 o'clock, bound for the port she is named after and with a good load in her hold. The Spencer came down on time yesterday and landed 73 people at the Callender dock and a small bunch of freight. The steamship Atlas, of the oil fleet, entered port yesterday morning, and went directly on to the metropolis. The steamer Cascades was an early getaway from port yesterday morning I crossing out about 3 o clock. PERSONAL MENTION Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Baker are over Sunday visitors in this city, arriving from their Portland home yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Young and Miss, Young, have returned from a pleasant and protracted visit to their old home at Tell City, Indiana. Mrs. F. Luther Fry leaves this ev ening for Ashland for a month's visit with her brother, J. Syd MsNair. S. D. Vincent passed through this city from Portland last evening en route to Seaside for an over Sunday stay by the sad, sad waves. Captain Percy Willis,- of Fort Stevens, was in the city on business matters yesterday. Dell Scully, the irrespressible ,is back in the city again. He says he will play on the outside of the regatta works this year and enjoy some of it himself. Mrs. Nelson Troyer left on the Rose City yesterday for Oakland, where she will spend a couple of weeks with her parents. "Skinch II'.' is the name that will be given to one of the tidiest ami handsomest little motor boats ever turned out here, i( the expectations I and hopes of her owners are to be realized. The Skinch II is now building in the Leathers yards, and her owners are Dr. Vaughn and F. C. Fox, the latter also being her designer. Mr. I Fox, as many know, is with the As toria Iron works. The boat is now in course of con struction and will probably be com pleted within a few weeks, and at all events she will be in readiness for the regatta. She is to be 32 feet long, with five feet six inches beam. and has been designed along beautiful lines. She will have a torpedo boat stern, and is fitted out with oak ribs and oak frames. She will carry a four cylinder, high speed engine, of the automobile type. The engine is of 20 horsepower. The Skinch II ought to prove one of the best equipped motor boats on the lower river, and those who are observing the work of construction of the craft say that Mr. Leathers, who is personally doing the work, is deserving of great credit for the care and skill he is exercising. If the Skinch doesn't make a showing in the regatta it will be a wonder. j She is to be of the open type, built along speedy liners, and will comfort ably seat eight or ten persons. The passenger cockpit is to be about 10 feet long, with lazy back seats, and will also have wickerwork chairs. The forward cockpit will contain the engine and steering apparatus, and about midship will be a portion of decking and under it will be in stalled the gasoline fuel tank, and then aft of this comes the passenger cockpit. Mr. Fox and Dr. Vaughn aren't saying anything about what the Skinch II ought to do in the regatta races, but that they expect her to make the finest kind of a showing is probably true. With the West Butte and the Skinch II showing up against each other there ought to be "some thing doing." The building of these fast and beautiful little motors is not only a source of personal pleasure to the owners, but is a matter of con gratulation for Astoria as well. They look pretty on the water, and it is a source of satisfaction to know that Astoria men and Astoria builders can turn out boats that don't have to fall behind anything on the Columbia river. t vttr v - '.. v- :' -H r mm w m .... .-v.'i m im raft .!", a ir is I Ml, i mAm mww o Copyright 190, by Hart Schaffner fc?

TO THE ORIGIN OF THE AFFAIR. Straw Hats and Panamas for the warm days. Sweater Coats for the beach. Kneeland Shoes There are quite a number of As torians who are not familiar with the origin of Astoria's annual regatta, the event of the year, in this city, and how "from a little acorn a great oaK ! has erown."

It was in the Fall of '85 that the matter was first broached, and in a curious way. u jenrey, Deuer ll.-. - "Tafif" n.oc .inrllirtinor 9 T ' restaurant on Astor street at that time and two well known Astonans, Henry Tones and David Smith, drop- Ifped in for their evening meal. They fell to discussing the conditions of the times; which, were quiet, and Smith suggested that something should be done to liven up things and proposed a boat race. Harry Jones being an expert boatsman offered to sail against any bont on the river, and "Jeff" was called into consulta tion. He immediately took up the Idea and offered to donate a $25 silver watch and $25 in cash for prizes for a general race. Other prizes were giv en by business men and a general in vitation was .issued for all boats to enter. The regatta was ' a success from the start. Everyone took an in terest in it and the results was that when the "great day" arrived 15 sailboats had entered the race. Peo ple came from surrounding towns and there was quite a stir that day. Henry Jones won the first prize and John Bell second, and considerable money was wagered on the result. From this small start the great! animal event has grown to its pres ent great proportions. Sport after sport has been added, each year showing an improvement of the pre ceding one, until the regatta has grown to. be an event that is looked forward to not only by our own peo ple but also by those from other cities of Oregon and Washington. The business men and leading citizens take a hearty interest in it and sup port it, and being managed by busi ness men is always carried to a suc cessful issue. Land sports and other amusements are provided and the event had grown to be a regular "la fiesta", yet the good old name of re gatta still clings.
