The Lurline came down the river yesterday evening with a broom on her jack-staff as a signal that she was a winner in the grand marine parade. It is said that Harry Blanchard shin ned up that slender pole after mid night when no one could mark the grace and agility of he undertaking, and made the domestic article fast to its place, but there are those here with bets ready that he didn't do any such thing. She stayed down till midnight and went back with an im mense list of people bound for that city and all way points between here and there. The people of Astoria ap preciate the part the ' Lurline and Spencer have taken in the Regatta, especially the former. The gasoline launch referred to as the winner of the prize in her class for the most beautiful decoration in the grand marine parade, was the handsome Salem boat brought down by Banker Rogers, who with his fam ily, is here enjoying the 1908 Re gatta, and who will leave up for the Capital City on tomorrow after spend ing Sunday at Seaside. The fine ship Donna Frencesca(will be towed back to her anchorage off the Tongue tomorrow, where she will further await her sailing orders. She cut a very handsome figure in the Regatta line-up, day and night, and added conspicuously tos the general appearance of things from the water front grandstand. The steamer R. D. Inman arrived in yesterday morning, and after a short stay at the Callender went on over the river to load outward from the Columbia mills at Knappton. V The fine steamship Rose City came down the river yesterday afternoon in time to give her passengers an hour's run amid the Regatta pleasures of the day, and then left out for San .Franciscoin the light of one of the most beautiful evenings of the year at Astoria. The British steamship Falls of Mith arrived in from Comox yester day and went on to the metropolis where she will load grain out for the Orient. The steamship Rosecrans entered port yesterday with the oil barge Roderick Dhu on her hawsers., and went on to Portland almost directly.

Music, Good, and Galore The Regatta season has been con spicuous for prime music. The thirty four fine artists brought down here by Professor Da Caprio, from Port land, left nothing to be desired in that line, every performance they gave being of the sort that pleased to the very limit. The committee and the people all feel perfectly satisfied with the work done by these clever artists, and that no possible mistake was made when they were secured. The Park Band, of this city, did an immense amount of fine work, going day and night and any and every where they were needed, rendering the best of music in the best of fash ion. They have advanced wonderful ly since their organization and now rank with the leading bands in the state, and Astoria has the best wishes for their continued nd genuine suc cess. A Splendid Reception On the arrival of the steamer Charles R. Spencer, at the Callender pier yesterday' afternoon, that dock The Wild West parade was a sue cess, both in number of the wagons in the parade and in the spirit of fun it aroused. There was probably over a hundred wagons carrying masked figures, and of these the most were youths and boys. Nearly every one of them carried a horn or some crfher instrument for the manufacture and development of noises. In the van of the parade was a float representing the Wild West police patrol, with all its masked , figures togged up to represent police officers or the kind of men that usually take enforced rides in such patrol wagons. Then came other wagons, all brilliant ly lighted by the numerous torches carried by the maskers, and all adding to the din and the amusement. Seated high on top of what may have been a garbage wagon or a wood wagon were seen the immaculate figure of the members of the Regatta committee, with their white uniforms apparently still as white and flecklessly clean as they were on the opening day of the Regatta. Just how the Regatta com mittee members have managed to keep their suits so immaculately white during the rain and bustle of the three days of activity, is a source and its big gangway was the liveliest 0f WOnder to more than one observer, spot in the city.

This morning visitors on the downtown streets will prob ably see confetti covering the side walks and streets, and added to the bits of confetti were the pretty strings of colored paper that were thrown everywhere, the long ribbons reaching far out and floating down from wires and poles in graceful streamers. That the idea of a merry time on the last night was a good one was proved by the crowds last night, by far the greatest seen during the Regatta, though unquestionably j the fine evening helped infringing the people out. , ' Subscribe to The Morning Astoria . 65 cents per month, delivered by car rier.

The first tig cf war contest last night was that between Sweden and Austria. The teams, amid the plan dits of the onlookers, took their places and, as both teams had been success ful on the first night, interest was keen as to the superiority of either. It was a stubborn contest but Swe den was determined to win and bent all their energies. The Austrian, and good team too, determined that they would show that they were no weaklings and they gave the Swedes good pull.' The team representing Sweden were too much for them and after a tussel of two minutes were awarded the pull. The next team to contest were the Americans and Swedes, Undefeated as the Swedes have been so far they were willing to take the next pull, omething unusual. Their confidence was not misplaced as in five minutes they won. ' I he final pull of the evening was between the teams of Finland and Austria. Much interest was taken in this contest as the easy victory of the Austrians over the Americans had, to use a sporting expression, "had the crowd guessing," For IS minutes both teams tugged and to the gathered throng it looked like a draw, but when acting referee Officer Oberg fixed the shot that announced the close of the pull Judge Andeson announced that Finland had won by one inch. This was really the .best contest of, the tournament, thus far.

In many respects it was a pretty sight, and that many of the young folks enjoyed throwing it was quite evident, and yet its use seems provocative of trouble. For there is always the man who is a fool, and it was the fool who caused the troubles , last night. There was luckily little of a serious nature, but this was owing to the fact th:ft everyone was in holi day humor and therefore was willing to accept whatever came his way as simply an incident of the ''gala occa sion.
