WHS A PRETTY SIGHT
AT THE CITY HAIL
INTERESTING ADDRESSES ARE
MADE AT CLOSE OF THE
SAENGERFEST PARADE
Perhaps one of the prettiest spec
tacles of llic Regatta week were the
ceremonies at the city hall yesterday
afternoon at the close of the parade
by the Scandinavian singing societies.
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.

4 Diarrhoea Cured.
"My father has for years been
troubled with diarrhoea, and tried ev
ery means possible to effect a cure,
without avail," write John H. Zir
kle of Philippi, W. Va. He . saw
Chamberlain's Cholic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy advertised in the
Philippi Republican and decided to
try it. The result is one bottle cur
ed him and he has not suffered with
the disease for eighteen months. Be
fore taking this remedy he was a con
stant sufferer. He is now .sound and
well, and although sixty years old,
can do as much work as a young man.

A Faithful Friend.
I have used Chamberlain's colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy since
it was first introduced to the public in
1372, and have never found one in
stance where a cure was not speedily
effected by its use. I have been a
commercial traveler for , eighteen
years, and never start out on a trip
without this, my faithful friend," says
H. S. Nichols of Oakland, Ind. Ter.
When a man has used a remedy for
thirty-five years he knows tts value
and is competent to speak of it. For
