A NEW PARK.

Formal Opening of the New Park
Grounds at Lake Washington.
The beautiful park at the Lake Wash
ington end of the Yesler avenue cable road
will be formally thrown open to the public
today. A large amount of money has
been expended in improving and beauti-
flying this park, and it is now by far the
most beautiful place of resort in the vicin-
ity of Seattle. Art has combined with ma
ture to make the place attractive. and
nothing has been neglected which will be
conducive TO the comfort or amusement of
visitors. The new park has already been
described in detail, but its beauties must
be seen to be appreciated
AT O'Clock this afternoon the visitors
at the park will be entertained by Pro-
fessor Capolo and Professor Parker.
who Will make an ascension in
the large new balloon City of Seattle.
TO be followed by double parachute
from dizzy height into the waters of
Lake Washington. This feat has never
before been performed in Seattle, and it
will be the great attraction of the day. No
visitor TO the city should fail to see it.
Professor Rajan, the wonderful gymnast
and acrobat, will also give an exhibition
such as IS seldom seen by an American
audience.
All will be welcomed to the park. No
admission fee will be charged, and the en-
tertainment will be entirely free of charge.
The managers of the Yesler avenue cable
line have made arrangements to handle a
large crowd speedily and comfortably.
Cars will leave Pioneer place every three
minutes, and there viii be no difficulty in
transporting the crowd to and from the

there was widespread disgust. Among the
yachtsmen, however. the race was voted a
great success. Eleven sloops and four
catboats made the start from the
city buoy on the ten-mile course,
to the free port buoy and return. All the
boats rounded the further buoy in bunch,
except the catboat Albatross, which was
nearly mile behind, and the sloop Hettie
Belle. which was almost as far in the lead.
The Hettie Belle held the advantage she
had gained, and beat the others in by sew
eral minutes. The first catboat to come in
was the Monte.
The Marjory and the Essie Tittell crossed
the line point and point, the former lying
to windward and crowding the Tittell so
that she narrowly escaped striking the
buoy. As they rounded and the Marjory
pulled away from her the Tittell's sail
caught the breeze from the opposite side,
and she rolled suddenly back on the port
side. which had been raised up by coming
IN contact with the Marjory. Her crew
climbed to the upper side, but she rolled
with too much force and they could not
prevent her from capsizing. The steam
launch Perhaps went to rescue the crew,
but there being no danger, they remained
perched on top of the capsized boat until
they managed to take in all the sail, when
the tug Violet went out and towed her in.
After figuring out the time allowances,
the judges made the following awards:
Sloop class-First prize of Sl25 to the Het-
tie Belle, entered by G. B. Johnson second
prize OF $50 to the Essie Tittell, entered by
Taber d Hartwig; third prize of silver cup
TO the Winnie, entered by Parker & Eek
ardt. Catboat class-First prize of SIS to
the Chippie, entered by William Howe;
second prize of SIS to the Petrol, entered
by Clark d. Bartlett; third prize of silver
cup to the Monte, entered by G. B. Morri-
son. Following is the report in full of the
judges:

NOT A BALLOON DAY.
The Wind Too High to Permit the Para
chute DrOp.

The balloon ascension was disappoint-
ment owing to the high wind. The wind
blew from the west, making it necessary
to take the scow on which it was filled to
the west side, near the elevator, in order
to find shelter in which to fill it. Even
then it blew so hard that it had to be let
go before it was full. 1t assembled very
slowly and did not rise above 1000 feet
Professor Woodall did not cut the para
chute loose at all, but held on to
the balloon until it struck the water.
The tug st. Patrick was close
by where he landed and picked him up.
The balloon is thirty-six feet across and
forty feet high, and everybody anticipated
a very high ascension owing to its great
size. Professor Woodall himself felt much
chagrined at the failure, and explained it
as being due 10 the strong cold wind. He
said the wind blew so strong when the
balloon rose above the shelter of the bluff
that the parachute was fiattened right out,
and it was for this reason he was afraid to
cut it loose lest it should not open.

THE PRIVATE DECORATIONS.


mental Display.
The decorations on the buildings of the
city, especially those along the line of
march, were profuse and appropriate.
Almost every house in the city, from the
six and eight-story brick blocks of Front
and Second streets, to the shed-roofed
shacks of "Shanty Town" declared their
patriotism for the national day by pro-
fusion of evergreens, red, white and blue
streamers, bunting and many small flags.
The hotels of the city-the Rainier, Grand,
Occidental, Arlington, Diller, SnoGualmie
and others-were especially attractive in
their respective decorations.
From every window OF the FIVE stories of
the Occidental aoated TO the breeze in
Vulnerable small flags, while over the two
entrances were arranged arches of gay
bunting. At the Rainier the decorations
were equally appropriate and pleasing.
Young evergreen trees of cedar and fir
were placed about the piazza. and stream
ers and fiags were hung from many win
dows. The Arlington hotel was the source
of great deal of attention. In one of the
large Office windows hung an immense
painting of Independence hail. The sew
eral stories of the Grand were marked by
rows of tri-colored japanese and Chinese
lanterns. The Snoqualmie appeared pleas
ing with a liberal supply of bunting and
flags
The committee on decorations had a
very difficult task in deciding which dec
orations, among so many splendid ones
were entitled to the prizes. The plan they
pursued IN making their selections was
to divide the decorated buildings into
three classes and give prize in each class.
The novelty as well as the size of the dec
orations were taken into consideration
They finally awaded the prize of $25 in
the first class to the Arlington hotel, the
prize of SIS in the second class to the Seat
tie Hardware Company, and the prize of
$40, in the third class, to building at 405
and 407 Pike street, which is occupied by
the hardware store of Spelger & Hurlbut
and the dry goods store of Fraser & Will
son.
The committee also desire to make
special mention of the following firms
whose displays entitled them TO considera-
ton in the awarding of the prizes: Toklas,
Singerman & Co., Schwabacher Bros,
Baiilargeon & Co., Gordon Hardware Com
pany, J. K. Basye, Vendome hotel, Hersch-
berg & Co, Treen Il Co., Stewart e.
Holmes Drug Company, ]. NJ. Lang.
Doheny & Marum, Union Hardware Com
pany, Humphrey & Co., Boyd & Co., w. s.
Leckie & Co., Ando's japanese Bazaar,
the Burke block and the Halter block.
There were also some very fine interior
decorations which the committee were not
allowed to consider.

play Out On the Bay.
The fireworks on the bay last night
attracted an enormous crowd of spectators
The wharves were lined with people, and
every porch and window overlooking the
bay and every point of vantage were
taken.
The fireworks were displayed from two
scows which were dashed together and
towed out into the middle of the bay. At
9o'clock a red light flashed out to reward
the eyes of the watchers, and then fol-
lowed in quick succession rockets, bombs,
aowerpots, mines, Bengal lights and COL
ored fire Of all kinds. The effect of the
fireworks was heightened by heavy bank
of cloud in the west, which formed fine
dark background for the flashing lights.
At little after 10 O'Clock the display
closed with the set piece, Good Night"

FALSE REPoRT.-The Dayton
Herald has information that the
neglected COW, which the Salem
Humane Society has been looking
after, was kept up in the city pound
and not milked and that all the
injury and suffering of the animal
dates from and was caused by the
neglect of the Salem police. Inquiry
by a JOURNAL reporter reveals the
fact that no milch cow has been
kept in the pound more than over
night. None has been sold from
there this year, and there is 10
truth in what the Dayton Herald
says about the matter 50 far as re-
fiectlng on the inhumanity of our
police. The Herald should give its
or correct its reflection on
our police. They are not that style
of men and do not neglect the wants

are unavoidable on such occasions.
Tho the awkward squad was small,
it was ridiculous as ever, and had its
loyal representations in each COM
pany. The tender recruit was there
wearing a scared look and a great
overcoat to protect him from the
heavy dew in camp, bat the protec-
ton of which regulations robbed
him at the last moment. The short
recruit made himself about as broad
as he was long by the immense
sausage roll of home made striped
calico comforters which had rolled
up in them extras, cookies and good
things innumerable. Still each
comnany aud each militiaman wore
a proud look and presented a fine
soldierly appearance, and camp life
will strip The raw recruit OF his
rough corners, while the sharp
command Of Office and routine OF
duty will cause them to forget
themselves and gradually develop
into solid soldiers.
The boys stepped of with firm
step and that zeal which indicates
that if called upon by their country
tboy would not shirk, but 90 20 the
front ready to serve the flag
TO the last momeut, if. need be.
A cloud of dust rolled up and hid
the boys from sight as they passed
the state house.

was the first game between the
Salems and Albanys. AT 11:45 the
W. M. Hoag arrived with the crowd
from Corvallis, Albany, Indepen-
dence and other stations above
Salem. The excursionists were
greeted by immense crowds at the
levee, and all pronounced the excur-
sionists one of the finest crowds that
ever stepped off a boat at this city.
There was an unusual attendance of
well dressed and good looking gentle
men and ladies.
The Albauys' mascot was greeted
with cheers and the club was inn
mediately received by the Salems'
managers. The Albany club were
entertained in best style at the

The Electric Line to the Fair GrOundS
in Full Operation.


The JOURNAL takes pleasure ip re-
cording the fact that on Saturday
morning June 9th 1891, the Capital
City Railway Co. run its first car
oyer the fair grouRd extension. 1t
left State street at 10 o'clock with
fifteen men on board including
most of the officers and directors of
the company and two reporters.
The track is not yet fully hallasted
or leveled up, bnt Notwithstanding
these drawbacks the round trip was
comfortablymad within five minut-
es of schedule time. After crossingthe
bridge on 18th street, the line passes
through Oak Lawn, across Asylum
avenue, through High school ,Engle-
wood and Rosedale additions. The
view after reaching Englewood is
beautiful all the way to the State
grounds. A balmy breeze was play
ing over the prairie land, which
made the trip very enjoyable, especi-
ally as the car wound around its way
into the stately grove of the fair
ground. The Polk county hills
present fine view, and, in all, this
line takes its passengers where they
can see the best scenery in this part
of the valley. The distance from
the new terminus 10 that in the city
is $4,000 feet, making the round trip
about seven miles. Cars will be
run On the same time as on the old
line, starting to the fair grounds
every alternate ten minutes, which
will give the city out to 18th street
ten minutes service,
