The sun shone brightly, and it warm and welcome rayi fell upon the Queen of the Regatta and her attendant maids n they sat in state on the steps of the municipal building. Members of the Regatta committee, attired in their handsome white uni forms, and also the members of the singing societies also attired in white, formed a double line, in front of the Queen. Around on the lawns end on the street, and also on the steps of St. Mary's hospital, was gathered a crowd of several hundred. Mayor Wise, as the head -of the Re gatta committee and of the municipal ity, delivered an address of welcome to the singing societies, and he was followed by Tom Richardson, of the Tortland chamber of commerce and by Admiral Shepherd, in brief but inter esting talks. Admiral Shepherd add ed to his laurels by proving that he is a humorist and in his little talk he kept the faces of his auditors wreath r i . ....... td in smiles. He spoke ot tne pleas ure it had been to htm when he laid the head of the Queen, MisS Wise. "And this," Admiral Shepherd said, "this was the crowning moment of my life." ' ' ' The play upon the words was so ex cellent that everyone laughed. Mr. Richardson's talk was of the kind ex pected from him, from the man who is taking a. leading part in upbuilding "the state' and its resources' Mr. Richardson is a forceful and pleasing his brief v address was ' listened to with much interest. , ; ( . Mayor Wise spoke with feeling, his j&ddress being as follows: ". "My Scandinavian Friends: "Just one year ago, I had the honor of welcoming to our fair city, an as sembly of singers, those human song birds with whom God has blessed this world, and ever since that time, when official or private duties have weighed heavily upon my mind, I drove away the blues by recalling the happy hours I enjoyed during last year's Saenger fest. "Hence, when I was told that our city would once more have the rare privilege of entertaining an aggrega tion of singers, my spirits rose high, and for days I have waited patiently for this glorious moment; and now that the hour has come, you will not doubt me when 1 say, I am so very, very happy. "A few weeks ago it seemed as if there would be no Regatta, but I could, not bear the thought- Therefore I gladly put on the harness as chairman of the Regatta cbmmittee, with the determination that this, my last year as Mayor of Astoria should not go by, without a visit from my jolly, singing friends, and you are my friends. You need not tell 'me, I can see it in our eyes'. Why, the very air seems to be filled with the spirit of friendly good-fellowship. "So, I bid you welcome, my friends, each and every one of you, and I hope that every minutes will be to ou an hour of pleasure, that each day here may equal a year's delight, and your short stay in Astoria" may fill the rest of your lives with a delight that comes only from a recollection of an occasion like this, "Our fair Queen who is Wise for her years, joins me in this welcome. Her lovely maids, her pages and her entire court, are of a like opinion. The Admiral of the Queen's navy and his valiant officers are ready to defend you against enemies from abroad, and to be your friends .at home. Every mother's son and daughter of Astoria enjoys your visit. If you admire the blue of our skies, the brOwn of our hills or the green of our trees; we will paint a copy upon your minds as a souvenir. If your taste runs to fish or to ducks, here they are in season.' Is your system malarious?. We can make vou hilarious. You 'can wish for what vou see. If you can't see it, ask. for it. Talk about paradise, Astoria is IT in the summertime. and at other Hmes. it . is still one of the best places on earth." , , -ji " "At the close of the speech-making the singers sang a song in their own language, and - followed this by, the "Star Spangled Banner." SOLDIERS DISPLAY I BAYONET DRILL REGULARS FROM FT STEVENS ALSO PLEASE CROWD WITH ' WALL-SCALING FEATS. One of the most interesting features of the Regatta to many was the dis play made by soldiers from Fort Stevens yesterday afternoon on Duane street. They gave a bayonet drill that was skilful and rather spectacu lar, and a short time later other sol diers from the Fort gave an exhibi tion 'of wall-scaling that proved di verting to the many watchers. Probably 500 people had gathered on Duane street to see the soldiers at their work, and as the men stood in a wide open order to give freedom to their movements, it was readily pos sible for everyone in the crowd to see every movement of the bayonet drill. This drill was made with the regu lation rifle, with the bayonets attach ed, and the company showed a precis ion of movement and a certain grace and agility that proved interesting enough to watch. Especially to those who knew that each gun weighed probably eight or nine pounds the work seemed particularly good, for to handle a light wand is an entirely dif ferent thing from handling a heavy rifle. The movemnts included certain guards, lunges, and side steppings and turnings. ' The men worked very well together and formed a spectacle well worth seeing. Especially was it noticeable that practically every man in this drill seemed very much of a man, physically, and they seemed to go through the arduous bayonet drilling with comparative ease. A, band from the fort enlivened the occasion with excellent music. . After the close of the bayonet drill a squad of o!d:ers went through the work of scaling a wall a high wall with a flat top having been prepared for the oc -casion and in this the soldiers show ed much skill and activity. The drill included firing from the top of the wall and also on the other side, after the scaling had been .accomplished. Of course to get ove'r walls some 12 feet in height with nothing to get hold of on the lateral surface is no easy trick, as every one knows who has tried it, and yet the soldiers lit erally took the wall by storm. First a few were lifted up and jumped on top like a flash, and they after firing their guns, assisted the others up. It took only a moment for all to get over, and to fire their weapons at an imaginary enemy on the other side. The soldiers also gave a tent-pitching drill. o'clock. Wednesday evening 8 p. m.
