Many of the members of the First
Company went hungry during the

Regatta, and yesterday several of
ihcm were not backward in voicing
their disapproval of the way- things
went. They were instructed to make
their abearance at 12:30 o'clock, and
did so with military promptness, but
it was two hour later before the pa
rade started, ' Meantime many of the
boys, who had missed their dinners in
their efforts to be there on time, were
pecting to get "a one mere, ana

Thejr Have Rooms
, There arc several beaut'ful rooms at
St. Mary's hospital that the Sisters
arc prepared to rent to guests, on oc
casions like the Regatta, and for those
who have difficulty in securing nice
rooms elsewhere these rooms should
prove quite attractive. Although in
the hospital they are in quiet places
and have every convenience. These
rooms will be rented at reasonable
rates, and while not cheap, they are
iu-t the kind that nice people -in
search of rooms would rish to get.
Broke Hi Wrist-
Yesterday, shortly after noon, Mer
rill Henderson, a bright young barber
in the employ of the Occident Barber
Shop, while walking in the rear of
the hotel, slipped on the wet plank

who treated the broken limb, and
at evening the unfortunate young
man was resting easily, and nourish

leave out for his San Francisco home
on the steamship Rose City, this af
ternoon, which he will probably do if
tie is at all able to do so.

Charles J. Bertelson. manager of
the Warwick saloon on Commercial

Busiest Woman In Clatsop
Dr. B. Owens-Adair came in from
her Sunnymead farm yesterday, and
as usual she was, armed with the
signal 'thing that most interested her
ffr the moment, to-wit, a'magnificcnt
bundle of oats of three months'
growth, six feet and three inches in
length from the stem-cut to the heads
and rich with grains, which she im
mediately took to the county fair-and
filed as her home contribution to the
fine Clatsop exhibit there. This done,
and variousand sundry other duties
disposed of, - the doctor went the
rounds of the Regatta amusements
and put in a happy day wijh the
friends she met at every, turn. She
wound up at the baby show where her
pleasure for the daj, so far as the city
went,' culminated and she took the
train to the west side in time for her
home dinner. , ,

Sheriff M, R. Pomcrov of this county,
vice-president, Till Taylor, of Uma
tilla county; secretary, R. L. Stevens,
of Multnomah county; treasurer, R.
B. Bcatie, of Clackamas county, The
convention then adjourned sine die,
and the congregation scattered about
the city to enjoy the program of the
day in the way of Regatta events
They are as fine a bod of men as will
be found anywhere in the State, and
are a -representative lot of real Ore
goniats. Ha Fine Feature
Clcnn Darling, who is the top-liner
in the Stadium tent, just east of the
court house, Is doing a trick that
many will be interested itvseeing. He
permit himself to be locked in a
steel cage, after being handcuffed or
tied with ropes by members of the
audience, and then makes his escape
from the manacles and the steel cage
with comparative ease. The opening
night of (the Regatta he was tied so
tightly by ropes, and by men who
know how to tie ropes, that he still
bean the marks of the cords around
his arms and wrists, and yet it took
him but a few minutes to free himself.
Like his famous fellow worker, Hou
dini, who has amazed the world with
the ease with which he can escape
from any manacles that police or
others can place upon him, Darling
takes pleasure in his work and tonight
an especialy effort will be made by
several to see if they can't "beat him
at his own game."
Minister In Court
At the session of the police court
yesterday afternoon there were three
"drunks" who stood in the prisoners'
docket to ansewr for their delinquen
cies. Two of them pleaded guilty,
while the third indicated as best he
might that he could not speak"" the
language of the court. But the con
dition of his clothes was of Itself suf
ficient indication what his offense had
been, and this, added to the testimony
of the arresting officer, was deemed
sufficient to convict him. Each was
given a light fine. The men were well
dressed and looked like fishermen
who had taken the "first drink" and
then had gone on Until they ended in
the gutter. Interested spectators of
the session of the court were three
ministers who are in attendance upon
the conference now being held in this
city. Evidently they wished to see
how justice Is dispensed in Astoria's
police court and o view the character
of the men who appear there, but it
so happened that they saw little of
the worst side of the degradation that
is often seen there. Nor could the
shrieks and hysterical callings be
heard just then from an old woman
who was in a cell downstairs. She
was drunk and had been begging.
Fetched Up At Frankfort
The Missionary v sloop Guiding
Star, for the safety of which there
has been more or less trepidaition in
this cfty all of Friday last and most
of yesterday, in the minds of Rev.
Mr. Bemays, .of the . Portland Sea
men s Mission, ana otners in toucn
with him, was heard from yesterday
in haoov fashion in so far as the
safety of her master was concerned;
for that young man, whose name is
Arthur Harding and who is an ap
prentice from the British ship Crown
of India, arrived in the city yesterday
in a fishing boat, from Frankfort, on
the Washington shore, where the
Guiding Star is beached, after a long
and trviiiK cruise down the river: Mr.
Harding reports that he made it al
right, down as far as the Tongue, on
Thursday morning, and then ran into
foul weather, and being alone his boat
became practically unmanageable. He
struggled against wind and water all
day long and as luck would have it,
drifted into the beach near Frankfort
after dark on that evening, with the
Star full of water and sinking, and
sink she did within the hour of his
landing. He groped about in the
strangeness and gloom of the place,
soaked to the skin, and found a fish
erman's home at last, where he was
made as comfortable as could be, dry
clothes, good food, genial warmth,
backed by a friendly welcome could
signify it, and after a long night s
rest, which greatly refreshed him, he
was brought to 'this city on a motor
fish boat yesterday, only to find that
his friends here had chartered the
aunch Queen and had gone up the
Columbia river, to search for him. In
the meantime the Regatta committee
liad taken charge; of Mr. Harding
pending the return Of his friends.
