Easily Win the Game With
Portland Yesterday.
REQUITAL WINS 1 HE FUTURITY
The Track Was iu Splendid Condi
tion and the Kace Was a Very
Exciting One.
Special to the Astorian.
Portland, August 24. The Portland
Amateur Athletic CiuVs eleven was snow
ed under in today's championship cricket
game by the Astoria team on the Port
land field by a score of 129 to 14. The
Portland team was plainly outclassed and
outplayed at every point by the visitors.
After the Portland Inning closed with
only 13 runs, the Interest in the game
died out and it was simply a question
of how high Astoria would run up their
score.
The bowling of Wilkinson, of Astoria,
was a feature of the game. Ho suc
ceeded in making 8 wickets for two runs
and 5 overs. During Portland's half Wil
kinson bowled three men with three con
secutive bowls, a feat seldom accom
plished. Wilkinson and Tee made the
top scores for Astoria, piling up 23 and 31
runs respectively,
REQUITAL WINS.
Track in Splendid Condition, and the
Race Exciting.
New York, August 24. A better day for
'horse racing could not have been de
sired than that which was given for the
race for the futurity stakes today, won
by Roqultal. The track was in perfect
condition. The sky "was clear and the
crowd large.
It was 4:45 o'clock when the bugle called
the worses to the post, and twenty of
them paraded up the stretch past the
grandstand. They seemed to be in good
temper, and their condition, with the
exception of Axiom," who plunged badly
and In one of her jumps Injured Hand
spring. He was badly cut In the hock,
but ran a grand race in spite of it.
After a long delay at the post, In wtiich
there were several breakaways, the flag
of the starter awi3hed through the air
and there was a dull roar from the
crowd. Taral was alert and was first to
show up on Peep o'Day; then came Re
quital, followed by Formal, Crescendo,
Silver II, and others, all zbse up to an
excellent start. They did not vary much
in position In the run to the elgftth pole,
but when they reached the quarter, Cres
cendo had the lead only a fiead in front
of Axiom, who was a head in front or
Requital, who was leading Formal.
A blanket would have covered all four
of the horses, but as early as that it
could be spen that Requital was the
strongest. Silver II was running well
in the fifth place. Handspring was rixth,
In spite of his Injured leg, but he was
not striding true, and was far from
being the great colt who disposed of his
opponents so easily In the spring. Apple
gate came next. So close together were
the twenty that It looked like a" charge
of cavalry In partl-colored uniforms. As
they flashed past the three-eighths pole,
with nearly half the distance run, Cres
cendo had Increased 'his lead over Axiom
to half a length. At the half-mile pole.
where the futurity course comes into the
main track, is the spot where the falter.
lng usually comes and there it was that
the fleet hily Axiom had gotten to fourth.
Crescendo was still leading by half a
lenth, and Requital still hanging on.
Handspring's white nose was not far
behind in fourth place. Formal was
there too, and Silver II, Hastings and
Applegate hung on like grim death. The
squadron straightened out for th3 quar
ter mile dash but it was badly disordered.
With each stride the leaders widened
the gap between them and the main body.
The flve-elghths pole was close at hand
when the dark blue jacket of Griffin
went past Carr like a, whirlwind and
Requital was in first place. Then Carr
began to flog Crescendo. At the last pole,
with only a furlong to go. Requital had a
length the best of it, and was going eas
ily. Crescendo waa no longer dangerous,
but Silver II was coming fast out of the
(bunch, While Handspring was fourth
with a good bit of life left, Hastings
had climbed into fifth place, while For
mal was sixth, and rapidly losing
ground to Applegate.
A hundred yards was left to run and
only two were left. The squadron ot
cavalry had been broken into an irregu
lar body strung out into a xlxteenth ot
a mile, with Requital galloping easily at
the head and Crescendo laboring a length
and a half behind. Then came Silver II,
Handspring, Hastings and Applcgate,
with no daylight between them. The rest
were strung out with Axiom at the tarl
of the procession. Still Griffin steadied
Requital and one minute and eleven and
two-fifths seconds after the fall of the
flag ho crossed the Imaginary line, a
winner by a length, Crescendo second.
Silver II third, Handspring fourth, Hast
ings fifth and Applegate sixth. Thus
Grlflln won his fourth consecutive race
of the day.
By this ride he made K3.720 for David
Gideon, who landed his third futurity
and second in succession, the Butterflies
being winner a year ago and His High
ness in US). For running second Cres
cendo got 13,333 and Sliver II received
$2,067 as third money. The Prookdale
etable gets 14,000 for breeding the winner,
and fc,500 goes to the breeder of Cres
cendo and $1,000 to the breeder of Silver
II. Crescendo and Silver II are Cali
fornia horses.
THE GREAT BULL FIG. IT.
One Bull Killed, When all Parlies Were
Placed Under Arrest.
Cripple Creek, August 24. The first day
of La Fiesta de CrlDple Creek has
pasred, a success In every detail. The
program was carried out and the bull
fight was all that had been promised, a
fight to a finish In true Mexican style.
Capt. Ch eerie and charming Chlvella,
famed in old Mexican bull fights, were
the principals in the contest. Arizona
Charlie was there and three capadores
who tight with the ref cloak and ban
derllos, wbo throw sharp spears into the
neck and the pecadores, who flcht wlt.i
lfng spears on torscbaak. Tha bull
there and he met his death in the heroic
fashion that has characterized the bull
ught of Bpaln for centuries past. It was
the first bull that has died in the arena
in the United States at the hands ot a
trained gladiator.
A bull pen, 200 feet in diameter, circu
lar In form and strongly barricaded,
forms the arena at Gillette, and sur
mouting the phole is an immense amphi
theatre, seating from 8,000 to 10,000.
At tho side entrance the bull was ad
mitted and plunged madly into the ring.
He was met by the pecadores on horse
back and goaded to desperation with tho
spears. Then a capadore flaurted the
red rag ho would plunge at the man,
who would escape being gored by step
ping gracefully aside, or by making a
swift run for one of tho escapes. It
was when the banderillo stuck festooned
arrows in the bull's neck that the animal
became thoroughly enraged.
Then Cheche, wboso proper r.ame is
Jose Morervo, armed with a sword came
forward to do battle slnglq handed with
the bull. The bull would lungo into the
scarlet mantle, but Cheche was out of
the way. Finally by a blow aimed for
the heart the bull was badly but not fa
tally wounded in the shoulder. Tho bat
tle between man and beast waged hotly
and it was only whtn a well-aimed stab
on top of the neck und between the ears
of the bull that the spinal cord" was
reached and the bull fell dead.
The second bull was Introduce;! and
tho fight WU3 fairly under way when
Sheriff riowr.rs and his deputes arrived
and placed Wolfe, the promoter of the
whole affair, under arrest, with all the
participants of the fight, on a charge ot
cruelty to animals, and the fight was
stopped.
The parties arrested promptly paid the
fine Imposed and tho same dllllculty will
bo encountered In the coursa of tomor
row's sport, but it is the general im
pression that the officers have been
bluffed out and that the fight:) will go on
the following days.
ROAD PARLIAMENT.
Washington, August 24. Tho following
statement was given out at tho agricul
tural department:
The secretary of agriculture Is charged
by an act of congress to collect and dis
seminate Information concrenlng public
roads. To this end, all legally authoriz
ed organizations, officials and private
Individuals, who have given special at
tention to this subject are hereby noti
fied that they are invited to the assem
bling of a "road parliament" to be held
in Atlanta on the 17th, 18th and 19th of
October, 1895.
It has been suggested that delegates at
large may be appointed by the governors
of states, and a.iked to participate and
report directly to the governor of each
commonwealth the results.
Real progress In road improvements is
observed by the department of agricul
ture since the organization of offices of
road inquiry.
A majority of the states of the Union
have recently adopted new systems of
road organization.
THE MONET MARKET.
New York, August 24. The New York
Financier says this week:
The statement of the associated banks
of this country for the week ending Aug.
ust 24 was a favorable one in every way
It was marked by a healuhy Increase in
loans, contraction of deposits and conse
quent shrinkage In the conditions here
tofore prevailing in the money market,
There has been no advance in rates but
railroad developments point to an early
season of better figures for leans. The
movement of money from the interior did
not entirely , equal the shipments from
this center to the South and West, more
especially to the latter section.
It la not expected that the gold ship
ments will aBsume much largor propor
tlons, since the reaction In the exchange
rates has removed the chances of mak
ing much profit on the transfers of coin.
WISCONSIN BANK
Astonishes Financial Circles by Falling.
Konosha, Wis., Auguit 24. The flnan
cial circles were astonished this morning
to notice a card that aippeared in the
window of Dan Head & Company's bank
saying: "This bank closed till Monday.'
Dan Head & Co., bankers, were lncor
porated with a capital stock of S750,0OO
and advertised that the stock holders
were worth over $3,000,000. The bank was
to have been reorganized July 1.
Last week the cashier, Urban J. Lnttls,
resigned on account of ill health. This
caused the depositors, Who were mostly
farmers, to make a run on the bank.
The bank expected assistance, which
they failed to get. The deposits are said
to have amounted to $175,000.
THI3IR ARREST ORDERED.
Salt Lake, August 24. A special to the
Tribune trom Cheyenne, Wyo., says:
Governor Richards today requested the
authorities of Natrona county to arrest
the members of the Princeton geodetic
expedition if evidence could be secured
that they had been killing big game.
Professor Hatcher, R. Forsyth Little
and S. B. Davis, of the expedition, reach
ed the railroad at Casper on their return
trip yesterday from the Yellowstone
Park. They reported having killed many
deer and antelope and theso reports
reaching the governor he at once ordered

Talk Real Estate.
THE CONCENSUS OF OPINION
Organization Should Be Effected
and Proper Advertising: Done to
Advance Astoria's Interests.
Much talk and specuCatlon has been in
dulged In recently in real estate circles
regarding the proposition to form an as
sociation to control and govern tho busi
ness ot handling property lu Astoria.
Yesterday an Astorian representative ob
tained the views of a number ot repre
sentative firms and business men in re
gard to the subject and some of their
expressions are given below:
VAN DUSDN & COMPANY.
Think that the general plan is a good
one and one that will be commended.
The head of the Arm states that he does
not know enough about the details ot
such associations to suggest any plans for
the conduct of an exchange in Astoria,
but thinks that the scheme should be
adopted and that if property carried out
It would result In great benetlt to all
concerrd.
DR. J. A. FULTON. .
When asked Ills opinion as to the advis
ability of forming an association of brok
ers and dealers for the maintenance of
reasonable prices upon property and the
prevention of frauds upon the public,
Ur. J. A. Fallon Bald that ho believed
such an organization was necessary, both
to protect people coming in and to pro-
it.. I property nw-ers. He also thought
th'it plans si rn'i.i be speedily adopted and
that good would result to all concerned.
W. B. ADAIR
Stated that he was handling only his
own property andi knew nothing about
such associations and had not studied
their methods of operation but that It
might b well for tho responsible real es
tate men to consider the question and to
form some association upon tho plan ot
other exchanges.
R. L. BOYLE & COMPONY.
The head of this firm is very earnest
in his opinion that such an exchange
should be formed composed of the repre
sentative dealers and property owners
and that suoh action should be taken as
would insure the advance and growth of
the city and prevent the injuries that are
so apt to be perpetrated by irresponsible
dealers and those who only have in view
the making of a dollar for the minute,
He says that uniformity is the one ob
ject desired and that all should unite in
securing It. From the history of other
cities i?uch action Is imperative to secure
the best results and cannot be taken too
soon.
A. B. HAMMOND.
Before leaving for Portland Friday
morning 'Mr. Hammond stated that he
believed In such a movement and that
if an association of the kind was prop
erly conducted it would be most con
ducive to the best Interests of the town'.
If such an organization is established he
will give it his support.
A. R. CYRUS.
Snld that the plan was a good one and
would till a long felt want, if the asso
ciation could be effected on proper lines
and be properly maintained. "I really
think it fur the best interests of all
concerned to have such an organization
for the mutual protection of agents and
property owners. Whenever a boom
comes thore Is always a great Influx
of Irresponsible parties who are working
only for the money they can get at the
present time and care nothing for the
future of the place, thus they do a great
deal of injury."
"Curbstone brokerage Is legitimate If
carried on right, but the trouble Is that
It Is not always properly conducted.
Mr. Cyrus believes In having all the
real eitnte men possible and encourage
them as long as they do a legitimate bus
iness. "I have thought a great deal over this
real estate exchange matter," he said,
"and while there are many who would
go Into it who might not live up to the
requirements of the rules, means should
be found to make all regard the rules, 1
am also in favor of acting on a general
plan In laying out additions, so that uni
formity In streets can be observed.
"If business comes as we expect it
will, there will be room for all, and 1
will need help to handle my business.
I hope to see the organization effected."
Mr Cyrus also stated) that
D. K. WARREN.
Was heartily in favor of the general
plan and was particularly anxious to see
uniformity observed in the laying out
and platting of the property on the west
side of the bay, where probably the first
decisive movement would be had.
JUDOE TAYLOR
Said that he really did not know enough
about the real estate business to express
an opinion or suggest any plan of action,
but that he believed' that the general
plan was one that should be carried
out. "There Is no doubt but what there
should be some concerted form of action
among real estate men and an effort
should be made to keep up a respectable
association and to prevent as far as pos
sible every form of fraud. People who
come In here should not be led astray.
I know ot people who came here three
or four years ago who were woefully de
ceived, and these things do not co us
any good.
"Real estate men should be required to
deal fairly with their clients as well as
lawyers. We have bar associations and
medical associations to see that none but
creditable men are allowed to practice
tbete professions and I do not sea why

we should not have the same protect km
among real estate men and 'orokers. Tim
fact of the existence of a rnl estate as
sociation will not prevent men from sell
ing real estate, whether thry are mem
bers of the association or not, but when
they perpetrate frauds upon tho people,
they would bo expelled from the asso
ciation, if they were members, and If not
they would be exposed to tho public, as
has been done recently in tho has asso
ciation where disreputable members were
proceeded against for disbarment. 1
have known men to show a pum-liaser
a lot in a good location as the property
Delng transferred, and then make a deed
to entirely different property, which lha
purchaser would not have as a gift.
"One of the principal alms should be
to securo square dealing, and another
to keep prices at the beginning at such
figures that they will not frlg.iten In
vestors and turn them a-.vay to other
fields."
W. O. GOSLIN

down by the city engineer. The city en
gineer should be employed by the month
and at such a Balary as would justify
him in giving his entire tlmo and nttei
tlon to matters concerning the town
and the welfare of the public."
C. W. FULTON.
In reply to Inquiries Mr. C. W. Ful
ton stated that ho was not In tho real
estate business and had given no thought
to the subject of an exehunuo, and be
lieved that it would be a difficult matter
to hold such an organization together
and accomplish Its purported objects. As
to the question of what constituted good
property, he thought it would bo ex
tremely difficult to decide and hud to
pick out a Judxe. What one man thought
was good property another might desig
nate as "wild cat."
GEORGE HILL.
Said that ho thought it would be hard to
to maintain such an association as la
proposed, but bolisved tha genotul plan
was a good one.

COMPANY.
Mr. E. J. Smith, the manager of this
company, states that they believe It to
be of the utmost Importance that a plan
of co-operation among real cstato men be
adopted.
"From what I have seen in Omaha and
Salt Lake, such an organization Is a
prime necessity. It should bo entered In
to at once."
'What are "Vour reasons for such a
statement?"
"In the first place this city must be
properly advertised abroad. You cannot
expect one man to do all of tna adver
tising. There must be concerted action.
and some one at the head of tie move
ment to attend to the advertising alone.
This should be done through the local
newspapers. In Salt Lake, the Real Es
tate Exchange handled the entire adver
tising of the city and today it is tho
most successfully advertised community
In the United States.
If members of the proposed exchange
do not live up to the rules they can be
turned down and If outside dealers are
guilty of wrong they can be exposed; The
organization should most certainly be ef-
iociea.

THE TOWAGE PRICE.
'Portland, August 24. A private letter
from Astoria states that the tug Relief
received $500 for towing the ship James
Drumimond to sea last Wednesday when
she was drifting towards the sands near
Tillamook.
August Storz, living on Williams ave
nue, Aiblna, says the Portland Oregon
Ian, prefers to raise coffeo in his own
yard rather than buy it at tha stores.
Some time oro he sent for a nu;nter of
plants of what Is known as tha German
coffee berry, and this year they will pro
duce about 23 pounds of coffee. This
berry Is used largely in Oormnny, Italy
and other European countries in place
of tropical coffse, and It evidently
answers every purpoia of the t-rmulna
coffee. Mr. Storz' way of using It Is to
mix It with equal parts of Mocha, vhen
It Is said to make a superior drink. He will
present the immigration board with a.
number of plants to be exhibited at their
rooms.
