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

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

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.
It has been decided, owing to the
rivalry betwen the teams of Finland
and Sweden, that the tournament will
be continued tonight on which occa
sion the greatest event of the tourna-'

Was Like Snowstorm
Confetti fell I ke a veritable snow
storm on the downtown streets last
night, The sidewalks became white
with it, and every girl thut passed had
her hair covered with the colored
flakes. 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. But it required , good control
of one's temper to have' the ubiquitous
fool come up and toss a handful of
the confetti directly, into one's eyes;
among friends this might be accept
ed and laughed at, but the fool al
ways picked out a ,. stranger, off
course. But aggravating as the con
fetti is in the hands of some, never
the less it is as nothing to the "feather
dusters" and torches that are made to
thrust into peoples' faces.
