Dare Campbell the Victor la Yesterdaj'
Priro Fight.
The Salem, tho Lucca Mason and three
other boats left Portland at three o'clock
yesterday morning having on board
Dave Campbell and J.E. Reill', tho prin
cipals in a proposed prize fight, with a
number of backers and spectators, in all
over 400 men, They landed shortly after
daybreak in Clarke county, "W. T., but
before activo preparations had been
made the sheriff appeared and ordered
them off. Tho party went aboard the
boats and started down the river, one of
the crowd saying that he had a place far
ther down where they could land and
fight all they wanted. Accordingly they
stopped at Ward's ranch, on the Wash
ington territory side opposite a point
midway between Columbia City and St.
Helens, a level grass plat was mowed and
raked, and a twenty-four foot ring staked
off. By this time the Tom Morris, which
had left here the night before with a
party of Astorians aboard, hove in sight,
the new arrivals being welcomed and
given admission to see the fight, which
began at nino o'clock. The fight was for
$500 a side, Cansbell and Reilly putting
up $100 apiece after they had got in tho
ring. Duncan McDonald, Campbell's
trainer was his second, Joo Taylor,
Heilly's trainer, acted in tho same capac
ity for his man and Geo. Stevens of this
city was chosen referee.
The betting was in favor of Campbell,
odds as high as two to ono being givon.
There was about $l,rC0 in tho pool box,
and $1,0C9 moro on the outside. Tho
fight was short, sharp and docisivo;
uampbell had it all his own way irom
tho start, being evidently superior in
soience, strength and physical ability.
They fought fourteen rounds, and from
the first Campbell had the advant
age, Reilly succeeding in getting
in but ono blow on Campbell's
body. The ficht was fou"ht under tho
London Prize Ring rules, and at the end
of tho fourteenth round, which resulted
in a blow that knocked Reilly prostrate.
he failod to como to tireo, and Ins ugm,
which lasted sixteen minutes, was award
ed to Campbell. The Astoria delegation
backed (Jampuell, and wero accordingly
winners. They got back hero at hve
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
SOME FAMOUS CLIPI'EC SHU'S. ,
Apropos of tho impending race batween
tho Puritan and tho Oawslu, a corre
spondent who belongs, as ho says, to the
aquatio or finny tribe, writes as follows,
with some reserves as to the accuracy of
details:
"When the America boat tha British
fleet, some of us more practical sailors
and ship owners tried to get something
more than a play race out of it, and we
challenged, in 'Bell's Lifo in Londo 1'
(copied into tho American papers of thai
day See Coflin's littlo history of tho
America aud other racing yachts) tho
British ship-owners or builders to raca a
clipper ship of (I think) 1,C93 tons, tea
loaded for a prize of .10,000, from China
to Cowes. The challenge was made by a
club formed for the purpose. I won't
tell you how small it was, nor how littlo
constitution or fow by-laws it had. It
was I think, called tho New England
Ship-owners Club, and the challenge was
signed by Daniel C. Bacon president of
the club. It was never accented nor
much noticed in England. TI1C3' were
too much demoralized by the America's
victory to risk another defeat. "We had
all our plans laid to bni Id a clipper ship
to combine speed and c ommcrciai capac
ity, and to put Uapt. Jrhn. Lmniarcsqne,
the prince of clipper captains, in com
mand. Dumaresquo afterward, in the
California oxcitement, commanded the
clipper ship Surprise, of 1,500 tons, built
for him by Daniel C. Bacon and others,
and, in a raco with tho famous clipper
Staghound from Boston to San Francisco,
beat her, in the shortest passage ever
made between tho Atlantic aud Pacific
ports. The Surprise was built at Samuel
Hall's shipyard, East Boston, and tho
Staghound by Donald McKays Both
ships were wonderful combinations of
speed and carrying capacity, and their
race was better worth recording than any
little vacht race ever made, as they wore
full of cargo at about $40 per ton, and
were kept at racing speed day and night
for the ninety days or so which I think
they took, or one of them did."

THE YACHT RACE.
Eniilith or American Snprenucr
Question.
Still a
Tho race for "the Queen's cup" between
tho American yacht Puritan, and the
English yacht Gcnesla, is at present
writing undecided. On the 7th they got
away all right from Sandy Hook, bnt ow
ing to tho lack of wind tho raco had to
be postponed, after twenty miles had
been sailed, the odds being in favor of
tho Puritan. The next day they started
again when tho Puritan fouled the Gcn
esla, carrying away tho tatter's bowsprit.
The raco was then postponed to Friday
last when a third unsuccessful attempt
was made to go over the course, dark
ness closing in and necessitating another
postponement.
All over the United States and England
tha ereatest interest is manifested in tho
contest between tho two yachts which
ronrcsent the nest euoris, tuo uiguesi
skill and the utmost perfection yet
reached in the art of yacht sailing.
The finest dories of American yacht
ing cluster about tho great international
races which have been sailed for tho
possession of tho Queen's cup, which tro
phy is now tue inosi miuous m mo worm.
It was tho first which was offered for in
ternational comnetition. From 1851,
when the first contest over it took place,
ilntcs tho irreatest development of
yachting; and from that date also the
superiority 01 .-vinculum uia hukhmi
craft, in their build and rig, has been al
most continuously uomousiraiou.
The first international challenge was is
sued in 1837 by Joseph Weld of Bylowell,
England. An American had expressed
the opinion that nothing afloat could
hent tho Wave, owned bv John C. Stev
ens of New York. Mr. Weld challenged
this yacht to sail against his cutter, tho
.4 farm, "for 1,00 or more, tho cosrso to
be no further than can bo performed in
ono day, tho vessel which comes in first
a r l A il.M 1ne' wnl 4n TtMtt !, ft
raca. each vessel t carry what sail it
ploases, sail or pajv' Tho llrarc was a
last naner in biuuum uwi, nuu uu
hoaten the crack Boston yacht Sylph on
two occasions. Tho owner of the Alarm
no sooner satisfied himself of her re
doubtablo qualities than ho asked per
mission to wituuraw uia cuauence. j.s
was reluctantly accorded. She was
again challenged tho following year, this
timfa for $100,000, by a member of tho
Royal British Yacht club, but as she had
been already sold to tho government,
nothing came of it.
John C. Stevens, commodore of tho
New York Yacht club, had conceived tho
idea of some day beating tho very best
craft that British sportsmen could pro
duce, and ho did not abandon it. Tho
America was built oxpressly and sent to
England for this purpose. Her owners,
however, wera ignorant at that timo of
the fact that a cup was to bo offered at
Cowes oion to all nations. Their chal
lenge was posted on August 2, 1831, but
provoked no response. It was soon af
terwards modified so as to include cut
ters, but still it wa3 not accepted. A
final challengo was issued to sail any
British vessel whatever for any sura from
1.0CD to 1C3.0C3 guineas, stipulating only
that thero should bo at least n six-knot
breeze. All England remained as dumb
as an oyster. Evidently her yachtsmen
wero afraid of the America.
It was found after patient endeavor
that the only chance of showing what
she could do was to enter a general re
gatta a hazardous test. The risks were
taken, however, Commodore Stevens
making but one proviso, that his vessel
should not start unless there was a good
breeze. Tho A7ticrica sailed, and, as all
tho world knows, won the cup, against all
types of rigs and all sizes of bottoms,
leaving tho best of tho English boats
miles behind her.
The Queen's cup now became America's
cup, and as such has since been known.
An anecdote revived will bear repeating
once more. The queen viewed tho raco
from a steamer off the Needles. At a
certain moment she is represented as
saying:
"Signal master, are the yachts in
sight ?"
"Yes, may it pleaso your majesty.3
"Which is nrst 7"
"Tho America."
"Which is second?"
"Ah, your majesty, there is no second."
Englishmen no longer spoke in derision
of American yachts after this triumph
as "Yankee skimming dishes."
The ocean and international races in
which tho Jlenrictla, Cambria, Sappho
and Dauntless wore engaged, occurred
between 1SG7 and 1871. Tho Cambria
and Dauntless crossed tho Atlantic, start
ing from Cork on tho 4th of July, 1870.
The former arrived first at Now York by
a difference of two hours. This success
emboldened her to challengo for tho
America's cup, and occasioned the first
race for its possession in America. Tho
event took place on the 8th of August,
1870. Twenty-four yachts started and
the Magic camo in tho winner, tho Cam
bria being tenth.
Tho third contest was in 1011. auo
LiDonia, owned by James Ashbury, com
modore of the Royal Harwich yacht
club.was then looked upon by the British
with tho same hopes which m tho hearts
of American yachtsmen had centered
about the Ajnerica. They thought her
certain to win. Tho America in the
meantime had changed hands, and had
even como into tho possession of an Eng
lishman. "With an altered rig sho
seemed to belio her former splendid
performances. It was her further des
tiny to get into tho confederate service
as a privateer and then into tho American
navy and to be given n man-of-war rig.
After still more humiliating misadvent
ures, sho was purchased at auction by
General Butler and another gentleman
and in tho samo year was entered 111 tho
raco for tho cup agaiuBt tho Lironi'a. Tho
latter was beaten badly, but tho America
was also distanced.
In 187G tho fourth contest for tho cup
was provoked by tho Canadian schooner,
tho Countess of Duffcrin. Tho America
had been rerigged, but was refused an
entry, as she did not belong to tho chal
lenged club. She sailed over tho courso,
however, and beat every other vessel iu a
twenty-milo stretch to the windward.
The sloop Atlanta vrna the causoof a
farcical competition for the cup in 1881,
in which she had not the ghost of a
chance of beating tho Mischief, which
was pitted against her.
Every successive winuor of the America
cup had given it into the custody of tho
Now York Yacht Club in trust, subject to
challenge. Tho last deed of trust was
made in 1832. The Genestd's was the
first challenge under its provisions.
Tho America's cup is of solid silver,
ewer-shaped and elaborately ornament
ed. It stands full two feet high and
weighs at least 100 ounces. Around its
broadest part are medallions, variously
inscribed. The first is as follews: "One-Hundred-Guinoa
Cup, won August 22,
1851. at Cowes. Encland, by yacht Amer
ica, at the Royal Yacht Squadron regat
ta, open to all nations beating" and
then follow the names of all the vessels
which started in the raco of 1831. On
tho next medallion is engraved: "Schoon
er America, 170 tons. Commodore John
C. Stevens; built by George Steers, Now
York, 185L" On tho "other spaces are
inscriptions recording the results of the
races with tho schooners Cambria, Livon
ia and Countess ofDufferin and tho sloop
Atlanta.
Tho Gcncsta (tho name meaning "a
boom") has got away with overything on
tho other side of the water and tho Pur
itan has the fastest yacht timo on record
eight milas in less than thirty-seven
minutes.
TOBIAS-SO TO SPEAK.
Yes, his front name is Tobias,
And he isn't over pious,
And his eyes aro on the bias,
So to speak;
And his only aim and bent is
Nobby clothing for this gent is
Just a bit non compos mentis
Liko and weak.
And thi3 feather-weighted gent he
Though not over one-and-twenty
Has of knowledge quite a plenty,
So to speak;
For he'd rather be a-pranciug,
And kicking at a dancing,
Than his stock of wit enhancing.
Learning Greek.
Though he apes tho drawl and stammer
When ho dons bis sleek claw-hammer,
Yet Tobias shoots his grammar,
So to speak;
And ho questions very rarely
(So his clothes aro hanging fairly),
If his brain be fashioned squarely,
Or oblique.
No, ho has no education,
And his beauty took vacation
'Bout tho timo of his creation,
So to speak;
And upon mature reflection,
Taking-each distinct'bisection,
I'vo decided his complexion's
Rather weak.
Though his shirt has not a rimple,
Nor his beardless ohm a dimple,
Yet he boasts a chronic pimplo
On his beak;
And his voico is not reliant,
For at times it is defiant,
And at times it is a pliant
Little squeak.
Now it seems to me so funn3'
That this half-demented sonny
Should be loaded down with money,
So to speak;"
While tho writer of this ditty,
Who you seo is rather witty,
Has to scrub about the city
On his cheek.

While economy is wealth, it is not policy to be penny-wise and
pound-foolish by purchasing auction goods, or goods that have lain for
a long time upon the shelves of some fossilized store, a prey to moths
and deteriorating dust, which fact with misfits, etc., makes thorn un
desirable, and then they become auction or so-called Cheap John
goods, which are conceded by the wise to be dear at any price, and
for which people of this day pay only a trifle less than for first-class
goods at a
ONE PRICE, FIRST CLASS HOUSE,
"Which carries a Large Assortment but a Small Stock, which is kept
fresh by constant replenishing from the Eastern and Pacific Markets
within a short space of time and at prices for the quality of goods that
