The steamer made a very 1 quick trip from Bristol bay to the ' mouth of the Columbia, the distance being covered In 10 days. What biul- ness she will engage In before going Into service next season has not yet been determined by her owners. ', - j The news leaked out yesterday that; N. W. Tallant of the Cutting Packing! Company had gone to San Francisco, j and for no purpose other than to be-! come entangled In the meshes of the' hymenlal net It Is said that the pros- j pectlve bride is the charming widow i of the late John Martin, who was heav ily tnterestd in mining properties In California and elsewhere. j S. J. Pembrooke. the popular San j Francisco oarsman, who has In charge ! the visiting .California crews, talks seriously of disposing of his property In the above city, and locating In As toria. "This town has a future," he said last night "I like the location and climate, and the people and busi ness prospects as welL I will make the change If possible to profitably con summate It" Matt Hllstrom. a logger In Oleson Bros, camp on the Lewis and Clarke, had his leg shattered below the knee yesterday while working with a Jack screw.

The seats were generously filled, and the local band played tn the pavilion, while the diver strode hither and yon on the bed of the river. The crowd was Interested from the tact that Mr. Derock occasionally remained beneath the water's surface from ten to fifteen minutes. John L. Carlson yesterday received a fine Alaska dog from Mate Wlckstrom of the steamer North Star. The dog" j was picked out of a band of 50 and ! Is of a smaller size than those that i have heretofore been brought to As-1 toria. He shows a disinclination to mix : In the company of other canines.

No arrests were made. . A large crowd witnessed the baseball game yesterday at the A. F. C. grounds between the Chemawa's and Multno mah's. The former won by a score of 12 to 5. The game was hotly contested throughout and kept the assembled crowd highly Interested. Graham and Teabo acted as batteries for the Che mawa's and WhitehoUBe and Zan as batteries for the Multnomah's. The features of the game were the battery playing of the Chemawa's and the work of Mcilaster as shortBtop. The regatta closed successfully last night with the Illustrated concert given under the auspices of the Edward Shields Company. The attendance was considerably larger than on the prev ious 'evening, and -the entertainment moved along smoothly and with a snap that pleased the audience. The moving pictures were Interesting and distinct ly rendered. The vocal selections were good. It Is understood that Mr. Shields so favorably Impressed the regatta committee and the patrons of the car nival in general that he has been ur gently requested to appear in Astoria again next season. The Columbia from San Frsnolsoo, steamed gracefully up the river yes tersely morning, her decks crowded with passengers, who fused with won aenng eyes at me gam uispiay on me Astoria river front. The cttln and other officers were besieged with ques tions, and when It was discovered that k ..urntinl Mil. In (ir,t.F v,rill vntln I Rl, implored that the steamer mlKht He over till nightfall and permit them to attend. The captain sintM ami talked In a soothing strain, but when he declined to tarry, he was promptly denounced as the meanest man that exer disgraced a ship. At the conclusion of the aquatic events yesterday, Captain Gregory of the Manxanlta ordered the anchor weighed and apprised his guests that he would Indulge them In a brvesy Jaunt down the river. The water ws as smooth as a mill pond and the trip rs of each boat cheered and rechcer ed till the air rang with the enthusi asm. The journey was prolonged over an hour and many tapped the sounding deck In the mates of the dance while the band played Its enlivening reper tory. Judge Nelson had more than the av erage number of .ases before him In the police court yesterday. C. Haw kins forfaited 110 for being drunk and disorderly and Joseph Gllmore forfeited 3 on a charge of drunkenness. J. Sandstrom was lined $o on the same charg.. Joseph Boyd. L. Pui'heney and M. White were each fined $3 on charges of drunkenness. These men are f!.horm-n and are residents of up : river points and Imbibed too freely ; while in Astorrla taking in the regatta ' festivities. Tluy were 14 hour In Jail I and Judge Nelun suspended sentence on condition that they leave the city. which they conse-u.tl to do yesterday evenlmr. "Lighthouse" Nelson, who was boolted n a charge of fighting wa not sober enouh to appear for trial. He will be given a hearing today. Howard Brewer, the long dlstunce champion swimmer, Is a prodigy. lie Is invincible, his friends say, and even t the world's fair where he met the most skillful aquatic athletes of all countries, he won with apparently as much ease as he passed the local com petitors who engaged him In the sev eral swimming events yesterday. To ! test Mr. Erewer's powers to the ut most It was decided to release a targe ' goose from the deck of the Manxanlta 1 yesterday afternoon. The swimmer was In readiness, and when the big bird alighted on the water. It was ex- pected that 'he doughty man-fish ' would be quickly distanced. The be- holders were surprised, however, to ' see the agile Brewer cleave the water : like a porpoise, and In the space of a moment, grasp the quacking fowl and . held her high In the air as a trophy. ' The crowd cheered lustily. j A man with an Inventive faculty and an aptitude for mischief, has been ' playing sad havoc with the slot ma- I chines of this city.

However, I gave him hours to leave the town, and the saloons needn't have any fear of fur ther misfortunes from that source." Ben. Buttenberg, the Justly renowned elvertl;lng artist, who paraded in fan tantlc garb for the Herman Wise cloth ing house during the regatta, left for s,:aul la' "tent, after pronouncing lne carmvai a brilliant attraction, and the people of Astoria as among the must energetic and hospitable of all the cities on the Pacific coast Mr. Buttenberg was asked his opinion of the regatta committee's work.. "They acquitted themselves splendidly," he said. "It Is certain they must have done so, as otherwise the acquatlc events would by no means have been so entertaining. However, I would of fer this suggeg'.ion for next year. In stead of muklng the queen's voting contest a strictly local affair, let some affable representative visit all of the leading cities of the northwest, ap point the may r as chairman of a sub cuinmittee, and Incite the population of both Oregon and Washington Into a rivalry for the representation of Im perial honors. It Is eafe to say that Porllund, If properly handled, would deposit thousands of ballots for the prestige of furnishing a sovereign to preside over the carnival festivities. But this is only one of many ideas I would be glad to advance. If the 1900 committee will keep In touch with me, I will gratuitously outline a program which I think will bring a multitude of pleasure seekers to participate In next year's exercises." DKOPPKD FIIOM THK CLOCKS, Balloonist Earlston'e Sensations In Ills Thrilling Parachute Jump Yesterday. "There are a good many people who thought I woull be drowned," mid Dick Karlslon last night, when speak ing of his balloon ascension mid his pvrllous descent under the parachute. "The Impression was that when 1 struck the water, the canopy would en velop me and carry me down before I could become disentangled. Now, the fact is, there Is trick In this business, I learned It at Chicago when 1 stood on the beach one time and saw 111 most daring arr.xmut of his day find a watery grave In just such a manner. If you notice,! carefully, you observed that when t approached th surface I had my trapeie swinging. Well, when still aloft about ?5 feet 1 let go the trapeie bar, and diving In the teeth of the wind, of course permitted the par nchute lo rlear me and alight above m on the river. It naturally requires dexterous calculation to accomplish It. but practice; ha now brought me to a hitch state of proficiency." "How did the world look to you front th heavens?" asked th reporter. "Pretty much as would the view from a mountain 1S00 feet high, which was the altitude I attained yesterday. The vessels appeared like mere specks, and the river contracted till It looked Ilk a long strvachlng serpent of sliver. It's a beautiful sight from the region of cloud, but It tak-'S nerve to trust your self to the flcklenea of a parachute." ROWING CLCB ORGANIZED.

REGATTA ENDS SUCCESSFULLY. Yesterday saw the finale of the 1S99 regatta. That It was a success Is well demonstrated In the fact that the at tendance was larger than at any prev lous carnival.
