offices.

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.

There are quite a number of As

origin of Astoria's annual regatta, the
event of the year, in this city, and
how "from a little acorn a great oaK

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.
