busy all the time, and will probably
continue so for several days. AS soon

the whole northwest country will be
billed.
To the program has been added q
naphtha launch race, which will nc
doubt prove one of the interesting fea.
lures of the regatta, as there are quite
a number of these trim little vessels
on the lower river, and in all probable
ity they will have to compete with some
of the crack boats from the metropolis
I The Portland papers are speaking
very kindly of Astoria's efforts to get
up one of the grandest aquatic sporting
events that has ever been held on the
coast, and predict a large contingent
present from that city. There will be
two warships in the harbor during the
three days regatta, one being a British
cruiser now at Victoria, and the other
one of Uncle Sans coast defenders.
The pilotage for both vessels has been
guaranteed by the committee, and now
there is good deal Of guess work go
Ing on as to who will be the fortunate
captain who will have the honor of
bringing these big vessels into Astoria 81
