attendance was not so large
The first amusement in the NOR
ming was the contest between
the base ball clubs, at their new
ground on Mercer's place. Il
resulted in a victory for the
Alki Juniors by score of A Il
30 for tho Unions. The latter
complain Of great unf;sirness OF
the part of the umpire. The ri
fe contest for a purse of $40
second prize of $40, had sever
entries, all members of the AS
sociation. The first prize was
taken by George Hall with q
score of 50, and the second by
Kirk c. Ward, with a score OF
x. The silver cup, third prize.
was won by. Mr.. Glore, with q
score of T3. For the regatta
there were thirteen entries-siS
in the first class and seven in
the second. The first prize, first
class, was won by the Nip and
Tuck, and the second by the
Ada. In the second class the
Lena took the first prize and the
Lone Star the second. The ora
ton was delivered in Occidental
Square by Mr.. Heller, a gentle
man who has recently come to
this city. 1t was eloquent and
practical. Mr.. Charles Young
read the Declaration of indie
pendence. The rest Of the pro
gramme was carried out in de-
tail, and gave general satisfac-
ton to the participants and spec
tatOrs.
THE silver medal manufac-
tured and engraved by Tiffany,
Of New York, which was to have
been shot for on the Fourth by
the Seattle and Victoria rifle
teams, is a beautiful specimen of
workmanship. The failure of
the Victoria team to be present
on account ofprevious and pres
sing engagements, leaves the
medal in the hands Of the com
mittee, who purpose getting up
a match at some future day not
distant, when the prize will be
awarded to the best shot.
THE FOURTH AT OLYMPIA The
*Jlympians had it all their own way
this season, and their celebration
was in all respects worthy the occa
sion and the people Of the capital
city. The town was crowded to
sntfocation with strangers, but no
disturbances occurred to mar the
festivities of the occasion. The
n ltishegs got away with the Seattle
ba e hal Sub. and the foot race
resulse favor of Tate bv fifteen
feet. So. 900 are said to have
heen1 .p on Ridge, his competi
tor, aass lost.
A FINE CRAFT. In the Yacht
race yesterday the Nip and Tuck,
owned by Mr.. Lake of Belltown,
distanced all the other boats in the
race. passing the stake boat about
three miles ahead of any of her com
petitors. She is the largest as we'll
as the most beautiful yacht on the
Sound. and her sailing qualities
were fully demonstrated yesterday
to be of first quality.
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION .--
The meager reports which we re-
ceive from the Convention do not
indicate anything which has yet been
accomplished. The last number of
the Watchman, published in the town
where the Convention is in session,
has not single allusion to that
august body. There is popular
idea prevalent nowadays that Consti-
tutions do not amount to much any
way.
