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."

Custom work. 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.
