LAST REGATTA DAY
A CRISIS OF FUN
Sunshine, Mirth, Music, Land and Water Sports,
Parades, Tugs-of-War and Fun, the Rule
Yesterday, with the exception of a
brief spell in the forenoon, was the
ideal day of the festive season which
closed at midnight, last night. It was
simply perfect; the sort of weather
the Regatta committee and all loyal
Astorians anticipated for the "Four
teenth Annual," and did not get; but
which all hands bore with very com
placently when it did arrive in the
closing hours. "Fun, and Impregna
ble Patience" was the slogan of the
festival, and it was . abided by faith
fully.
The grandstand on the Flavel dock
was crowded again yesterday morning
and for the first time since she was
crowned Queen Hattie and her court
were out in full regalia; and the
morning program was carried through
with every sign of success and pleas
ure. There were shell races of inter
est, in which Gloss and Sawyer and
Waite and Laing figured handsome
ly; canoe races, tub races, barge races
by the soldiers, cutter races from the
Columbine (the Columbine acting as
flagship for the nonce); and some
brilliant runs over the channel course
by the motor flyers Greenhorn and
Ethel, and enough of lively events of
different kinds to keep the big host
of people on the qui vive every mo
ment till the noon whistles blew when
the river and harbor events were
brought to a finality, and the eager
hundreds turned shoreward for rest,
lunch, and the long line of engage
ments scheduled for the afternoon
and evening on the hither side of the
water line of Astoria.
Among the great groups conspic
uous about the city after lunch,xwas
that in attendance upon the foot races
on Exchange street, where the
blocks between Tenth and Twelfth
were roped off for the events and
which were lined with eager hun
dreds of people, the ladies nearly pre
dominating. There were some lively
races there and the interest never
flagged until the gentlemen conduct
ing the affairs cried quits. Following
is the list of races, runners, winners
and official time scores:
100-yard dash Quade, 10! seconds,
protested; second: Quade, lOi sec
onds;Houston, second.
High jump Harber won; 5 feet 8
inches.
High hurdle 100 yards, Short won;
Harbert, second; time, 16 seconds.
440-yard relay race High schools
vs. soldiers; won by High School;
Morton, Harbert, Short, Houston; 48

FRIENDLY WORDS.
Dr. Henry W. Coe, of Portland,
who is captain on the staff of Admiral
Shepherd, is here in his cabin-launch,
"Anna Belle," brought down from
Portland, and is an active participant
in the festivities of the week. Captain
Coe has some interests in the low
Columbia and is a director in the
Scandinavian-American Eank, of As
toria, and is much pleased with the
progress and growth that institution
is showing. Dr. Coe expressed him
self last night as follows:
"Three years ago I first brought the
'Anna Belle' to Astoria Regatta and
had a week's real outing with my
family; we lived on the boat, al
though we took our meals up town.
We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves
with the rare sports which the Re
gatta offers, and have since then look
ed forward with much pleasure to
our annual trip to this city. George
and Wayne are having a grand old
time, and none of us have minded at
all the occasional showers which
good naturedly have not interfered
with the parades or sports. Especial
ly, I am well pleased with the open
ing exercises of the 'Saengerfest'
where my expectations were realized,
my boyhood days having been spent
in Minnesota, and early manhood in
Dakota, where my associations with
the Scandinavians taught me of their
artistic tastes and musical souls of
these people.
"Portland is more and more realiz
ing that Astoria and Portland have
one great common interest in build
ing up the Columbia River Basin, as
a great shipping section, in which the
good-natured rivalry should be be
tween the Columbia river points on
one side and the Sound cities on the
other. There should be no rivalry
between Portland and Astoria; for it
is in the interest of Portland to see
Astoria grow as one of the great
points on the Columbia River. Some
of our people in Portland have not
had as much sense as they should
have had, but they are coming to the
point of seeing that what helps one
city helps the other, -and that we
should unite for the common good of
the Columbia river basin, which is
destined to be the shipping section of
the Pacific Coast." '
HONORS DUE. ,
"To the Editor: Now that the
fourteenth annual Regatta takes its
place alongside its predecessors, in
the halls of memory, I feel it but just
to say, that whatever credit ensues
from the event, is due almost entirely
to my colleagues on the Regatta com
mittee'. "I can truthfully say that there is
not another set of men who could
have done better in the face of un
usual difficulties. I will long remem ber
the hard work and kindly consid
eration shown by Messrs. Herman
Prael, H. R. Hoefler. S. M. Gallagher,
Norris Staples, C. M. Celler, J. M.
Johnston, J. H. Whyte J. T. Wallace.
C. S. Dow, 1". J. Carney, J. H. O'Con
nell, T. R. Davis, and last but not
least that namesake of one of Shakes
peare's masterpieces, Macbeth, these
gentlemen and a host of others, who
kindly and voluntarily assisted them
did nearly all of the work and to them
we are all indebted.
We also owe a great deal to Ad
miral George S. Shepherd and his
staff ?.'ho assisted us cheerfully and
materially.
"Respectfully,
"HERMAN WISE."
Some Fine Work.
The display of photographic wash
drawings in the same case of Mr.
Carter, in the Hager theatre building,
has on no little admiration, as this
high-grade work is sgldom 'exhibited
by any but the better known photo
graphers of the larger cities. The
delicacy of shading and fine' drapery
make this class of work different
from the work of the average work
men in the smaller cities. Mrv Carter
is a member of the photographers'
association of the Pacific Northwest
and won a salon award at the recent
convention and exhibit at Vanvouver,
Wash.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29. Unlimit
enthusiasm prevailed throughout the
i.l
puonc demonstration ana tne exer
cises in the city hall today, in hpnor
of the athletes who successfully rep
rcsentedc America in the Olympi
games in London last month.
The, celebration began with a mon
ster parade and along the entire route
which comprised sections of Broad
way and Fifth avenue, the sidewalks
were jammed with spectators and
stoops and windows were also filled
to the utmost of their capacity.
Forming the most conspicuous part
of the imposing procession which
numbered more than 25,000 marchers,
the heroes of strength, speed and en
durance were greeted uninterruptedly
with cheers. The warmth of the re
ception was more than sufficient to
make up for any lack of cordiality on
the other side of the water and their
smiling faces plainly indicated full ap
preciation on their part.
In the great parade both the nation
and state were represented by large
detachments of troops, national
guardsmen and naval militia, while
the city showed its official favor not
only in granting its freedom to the
athletes but also in decorating the
city hall from pit to roof with the
national colors and the emblems of
the various victorious athletic clubs.
An element of the parade that was
second in the favor of the unnumber
ed throngs only to the Olympic vis-
tors and their teammates was the di
vision containing fifteen thousand
boys from the Public School Athletic
League.
Battalions of marines, United States
sailors and soldiers and the Manhat
tan National Guard regiments were in
the first and second division of the
parade. The third was made up of
the Olympic team in big automobiles
city officials and the reecption com-
mitte. These were followed by1 civic
organizations and delegations from
11 the athletic clubs. The Catholic
Athletic League, school societies and
miscellaneous bodies formed another
division, i
The organizations began assembling
hortly after 9 o'clock at their designa
ted stations and it was soon after 10
o'clock when the parade started from
forty sixth street and P.road, with
General George H. Wingate, grand
marshal, in command.
Arrived at the city hall, the par-
aders were reviewed by the city of-
cfals and their guests and here the
athletes, nearly 100 in number, receiv
ed from the hands of Acting Mayor
McGowan the cups, medals and to
kens which were provided for each
member of the team, whether a prize
winner or not. The presentations
were followed by the singing of the
national anthem by 2,500 voices near
ly one half of the great body of sin
gers being school children. The re
mainder were members of the big
German and other singing societies of
various parts of Greater New York.
Many thousands of persons were ga
thered in and about city hall park on
the sidewalks and in the skyscrapers
surrounding, it to witness the exercises.
Each athlete was roundly applau-
ed as he received his gold medal.
Melvin Sheppard, the largest point
winner; Ralph Rose, the giant weight
thrower,' and John J. Hayes the dimin
utive winner of the Marathon; J. S.
Carpenter, of Cornell and W. C. Rob-
bins of Yale, participants in the much
discused 400 metre run were particu
larly favored by the crowd. Hayes,
Carpenter and Robbins were given sil
ver cups in addition to their gold me
dals as special marks of distinction.
Carpenter who was disqualified af
ter outrunning the English champion,
Lieutenant Halswclle, and Robbins
who finished second in that 400 metre
run, but declined to compete in a run
off, were given ovations as they bore
off their cups.
All the athletes will go to Oyster
Bay Monday to pay a visit to Presi
dent Roosevelt.

GETING APPETITES BACK.
NEW YORK, Aug. 29. The high
class restaurants in Wall Street, whiich
are patronized by brokers and bankers
report a decided improvement in busi
ness duing the past month. During j
the panic period there was a marked
falling off in the number of customers
who patronized the restaurants and
cafes of the better class of the finan
cial section, but with the return of
prosperity trade picked up rapidly.
When business is good and commis
sions plentiful the broker takes a par
ty of his best customers out to lunch
with him almost every day and of
course foots the bill. He patronizes
naturally the best restaurants and his
weekly bill for luncheon is consider
able of an item.
In bad times, however, all this is
changed. Where the broker's office
was filled with customers in the boom
days, it is now deserted and the few
clients on hand are not usually in
cheerful mood. The broker who sees
his daily office expenses eating heavily
into his capital is in no mood to in
cur additional outlay. Instead of mer
ry luncheons in parties, he slips out
to the nearest restaurant and eats a
frugal meal. ,
Now, however, cheerfulness has
supplanted pessimism in Wall Street
and all are feeling the effect of it,
