THE ASTORIA RACES.

dispatch was received yesterday
briefly stating that The Dalles lost the
wet test. News ' was also received by
wire this morning that they failed to
capture a prize for the dry test race this
morning, notwithstanding the following
telegram which was sent from The
Dalles at 7 o'clock this morning:
'- "The Dalles team is all right. This is
our day. Wipe 'em off the face of the
earth."
The above dispatch was signed by
about a dozen of our citizens who are
brimming over with good will, the last
signature being "George Brown and all.

l5Byi2win the championship race
this afternoon, and if that is won we
can well -afford to forfeit all the
other honors.' This is the race, of
the tournament, and carries with it the
big prize of $150. The race is a run of
900 feet, lay 300 feet of hose and get
water; time; then run back and un
couple the second length of hose from
the line and replace it with a length
taken from the cart; time. It is a noble
race, but the impression is here that the
boys will not win it owing to tbe fact of
insufficient practice.

The story of yesterday's race is more
fully told in an Astoria dispatch to the
Oregonian today:
"The wet-test race was tbe first con
tested, and brought out a field of five.
The first to run was Tbe Dalles team,
bnt, although the men made fast time
as far as running went, they were beaten
by the man at the hydrant, who turned
on the water before nozzle could be made
fast. - This put The Dalles team out of
the race. No time was taken. The As
torians followed, and, with a poor start,
covered the distance and trot water in 49
seconds. They were followed by Van
couver, who were also credited with 49
seconds. The Liberty hose team, of
Portland, was next, and, from their con
dition, looked like winners, but all
three of the timers' watches indicated
exactly 49 seconds. The excitement
was intense and a proposition made to
divide the prize", but the members of
each team-inpisted on running the race
off later In the day. Oregon City was
unable to do better than 52)4 seconds.
In the hub-and-hnb race, the first teams
to compete were The Dalles and Van
couver. The latter won easily In 3t 1-5
seconds. Liberty, of Portland, Oretron
City and Astoria next appeared. The
heat went to the local men. In the
final, between Vancouver and Astoria, a
grand race was witnessed. Vancouver
got the best of the start, but the loca
team gained Inch by inch in the last 100
yards, and looked like winners. Van
couver reached the tape, however, a boot
four inches in the lead. In tbe run-off
of the wet-test run,' Astoria got water in
43 2-5 seconds, and were followed by
Vancouver in 49 2-5. Owing to the
Fits tbe Condition.
It is hard to make the boys campaign
hats show just exactly the spirit of the
wearer, but the effort is not lacking.
A McKmley cap this morning had the
names concealed by a band neatly sewed
on by the boy's mother. The gold but
ton and cord were, however, conspicu
ous. It is very probable that that boy's
father is a gold Democrat, and to pursue
the logic further, it is also reasonable to
suppose he is quite elderly. A young or
middle-aged Democrat would have no
hesitancy in voting for McKinley because
be Is merely an exponent representinghis
principles, and is not to be considered
either as an individual or a Republican.
A Democrat who would not do this must
have been born a Democrat and have
voted that ticket since 1840.
