The Fisliboat Kace One of the Prettiest Ever Kuu on the iUver. Under a Bky that was clear and blue, Just enouRh breeze blowing to temper the gun's. rayB, though not stiff enough to rullle the smoath surface of the wator, the second day of the regatta oncm-d and the racing events began with thouBanda of people looking on from the docks and bouse tops, and boots In mld-ntreu.pi. The Manzanita was anchored In the channel as on the day previous, and had on board the usual Jolly and mer ry-making crowd. They danced when ever the music started, and between tunes, amused themselves by making harmless wagers on, the coming events or consoling one another on unfortu nate bets tha'j had been nuule on events that were over. It was a large and orderly crowd from one end of the city to the other, but very few, If any, boisterous charac ters making themselves prominent. All the boats from the surrounding towns brought In large crowds, and many of them are here to remain until the regatta Is over. The first event promised to be a lively contest, four crack crews being catered, as follows: Peterson and Bradford, Johnson and Brawn, N. Grant and J. 0. Barneburg, Beyer and VVulker, (Reed's boat,) Spencer and . The waiting crowds were not dis appointed for when the luet gun was Hied they made a perfectly even stoj-t. i'eterson's boat got a little too far to the left on the first few strokes, and would probably have fouled the Mon terey had not the starter called to him keep inside. In their efforts to put lack into the course they lost time, which probably cost them the race, as lliey held their own on second through out the entire course. Ueyer and Walk er kept a center courae throughout, turning the buoy first and' keeping the lead to the finish. The time was as fallows on the first three boats, the fourth coming In so far behind that time was not taken: Walker and Beyer, 22 minutes; Pe terson and Bradford, 22 1-4; Grant and Barneburg, 22 1-2; others not timed. At 10:30 the ship's boat race was called, the Fort Canby Life Saving crew, with the Manzanita's gig; Manza- nlta's crew with the ship's dinkey; and the Monterey crew, five oars each boat. There was some delay gutting the Can by boys into their boat, they having arrived late, so at 11 o'clock the gun was Ilred for the naphtha launch race. J. O. Hanthorn'8 Ida Hazel and G. O. Moen's Star, 13 3-8 knots course, prize, Hllver cup. Both boats started oft even. the Ida Hazel taking the lead before the No. 3 buoy was reached. Opposite the North Shore cannery the Star was so far behind that sne gave up me race and crossed home. The Hazel ran the full course, coming in at 1:47 1-2. Prize, silver cup. When the Canby crew got her boat out the Monterey's were In position, on the line, but when the coxwaln saw that the Manzanita carried a til ler oar, he pulled back to the gun boat, saying he would not race without a rudder was used. This the Canby's quickly consented to do, after which the Monterey crew returned and placed thejnselves in line. Coxwaln Wilson, or the Manzanita's boat, only entered his boat a few minutes before the race took place, but ho got his share of favorites. There was a great deal of hastiness, exhibited on the part of the boats to get a start, but Captain Greg cry and Captain Howes held them back until an even and fair start was obtained at exactly 11:07. At tne first stroke of the oars one of the Monterey's crew pulled badly, and her boat lost a full length by it, but they were soon In good motion. The three boats passed the gunboat with even bows, and received a hearty chocr. from the marines and officers on board. The Cnnby's gig soon had the lead, the Manzanita's boat following closely, turning the buoy In that posi tion, the Monterey two lengths be hind. Considering that the Manzanita's boat was placed In the race on 10 minutes. notice, her crew have a whole lot to, crow over, Canby won In 22 1-2 minutes, followed by the Manzanita in 23. and the Mon- terey in 23 1-2. i?..iwin, r-ilv n this event was! the sloop race, the Pearl going over the line at 1:59-30. the Mayflower at! 9:00-31). oml the Maud K. at 2:01-20. The,' Maud K. went to the starboard of the Monterey and before No. 3 buoy was reached had paired the Mayflower. i u. : . v, t a k alnnnfl soon ., :..v,. i. Ih. Intr VinnV.' "Ul i "6"- " 1 i.ne i 'juxi -wiiii n vi& ic. The Pearl came in at 4:38; MaudK. n 4:57, and Mayflower at 6:15. On ac count of the heavy fog at the bar It is claimed that some of the boats failed to go around the buoy, but whether they did or not, it cannot be officially stated as, for some reason or another, w ... r V ru, -in f should have been. Th Is race will be i V.. ., .,, f th.' One of the most beautiful races of the L , . , entire day was th-j free-for-all fish boat . .. . race. 14 boats being in line when the . , gun was fired at 1.26. At the Ave min- ute gun several of the boats began to hoist nail, tut the starter promptly' A cuusu mem uacic. 11 waa centumy a, granu sigm wnen, as tne starting gun was fired, every boat sllpied anchor and hoisted their sails. Several boats that happened to be too near the Man zanita fouled and It was Bome time be- fore they could be cleared. A number of the boaits went to the starboard of the Monterey, finding more room there than In the channel, where It seemed some of the trim II. lie sailers' must foul before they could cot out In open water. No prettier sight can be tuv aglned than that presented by the fleet of racers as they bore out Into clear water where the sails could get the full benefit of the wind. At the buoy they rounded all In a bunch, but when they came on to the tack across the bay towards the North Shore cannery, they began to lead out, and by the time the course was run half over they were strung out a good mile In length, As in the case of the sloops, the fish boats lost sight of one another In the dense fog that hovered over the whole of the north course, and the same question of rounding the last buoy comes up. Tallent.'s boat was the first to go around, followed by H. A. Smith's Vigilant. On the home course the latter passed Tallent's boat, bring ing up at the home line a good winner. This race will also be run over tomor row, and the purse has been raised to $90. At 2:05, after the Bioops had got well under way, the Canby and Stevens life saving crews went over the line. It was a dead even start, and both crews doubled to their oars, the men work Ing like machinery. They were cheer ed by the thousands along the route until the O. R. and N. dock was passea, It was an Interesting race from start to finish, 'the Stevens crew coming in winner at 2:25-45, followed by t'.ie Can- by crew at 2:26. The course Was two miles, and prize, silver cup. In the 100 yard swimming race which occurred at 3 o'clock, Na&i Grant won, Th3 entries were as follows: H. Twi light, Tho3. Rawlings, Nace Grant, J. Hamilton, and C. Paustin. . All Interest by this time centered In the Canby life saving drill, which was set fos 3 o'clock. Flavel's dock, where the line was to be fired from, was a perfect mass of humanity, and It was not a little trouble for the boys to Keep clear enough space to work their lines. The Manzanita was moved to a dis tance of 200 yardB from the dock and airaln anchored. Then the little brass mortar was unloaded from the car rlage and loaded. Then a line was at tached to a long brass weight, the lattor being dropped into the mortar, the crowd was told to clear away from the rear of the gun. They did not move too quickly, tor an Instant after the fuse was lighted, bang went the gun, and away up in the air flew the weight with line attached. Higher and higher went the missile, till It seemed the zenith would never be reached, but presently, after going far above and be yond the Manzanita, It took Its down ward courae plunging Into the water, and bringing the line Just forward of the foremast. Two men quickly as cended the rigging and secured the line to the mast, and the heavier line which was to carry the buoy was drawn over and secured. Then It was made taut and the support on shore raised. The strain on the rope kept pulling the Manzanita shoreward, but after a while the line was raised high enough to allow the buoy being pulled to the ship. Immediately after reach ing the vessel, one of the men in the rigging was pulled asjiore amid the cheers of the assembled thousands. Just as the lines were being run the steamer Telephone came along the Btar board of the Manzanita and Monterey, intending to round In to her dock, but a signal from Captain Gregory caused them to put back and come in from the other direction. The Point Adams erew gave another exhibition drill, turning over the boat In midstream. The 100 yard foot race was won by L. E. Stone of Ilwaco, the prize being a silver cup. The hose race was one of the Inter esting features of the day and took place on Upper Commercial street near Foster's Exchange, and as usual waa witnessed by a large crowd. The race resulted, In a brilliant and decisive victory for our own Rescue No. 2 team. The only consolation the Oregon City team received was to have their photos taken outside of the Astoria n office. MONDAY'S PROGRAM. 1. Sincle scull race, 10 m. Two mile course, gold medal. 2.
