Der Of entries. the event was run In
heats. Vancouver and The Dalles run
ming first. II was anybody's victory till
within a few yards of the finish, one
team being ahead for a distance and
then the other taking the lead. To-
ward the last Vancouver spurted past
The Dalles boys and won the heat by
a scratch in 81 seconds. The event
caused great excitement.
In the second heat were Astoria,
Portland and Oregon City. Astoria
took the lead at the start and steadily
widened the gap. finishing about IS
feet ahead in the good time of SlS
seconds for the 266Is yards. Portland
got second place by a foot.
In the final heat there was great
excitement. The teams got fine start
and they came down the line hub and
hub. About half way Astoria got q
slight lead and widened it to a foot.
running in that position until within
so feet of the finish, when Vancouver
caught up. Side by side they ran until
within five feet of the line, when the
men running behind the Vancouver
cart, with a mighty push. sent it over
a foot ahead OF the Astoria boys.
For some time the crowd was in
doubt as to the winners, but when the
Vancouver boys threw their hats In
the air and yelled, it became known
that the first prize Of SIS was theirs.
Astoria got the second prize Of s25.
The time given was SIS seconds.
So far the tournament has been
great success. But little kicking is be-
ing done, and the best OF feeling pre-
walls. Astoria and Vancouver have all
the money thus far, but the races to-
day will probably divide the cash.
The principal event of today is the
championship hose race. The first
prize is $3.50 and the second $50. A
cup has been offered for
the winner Of the first prize. 1t is the
property of the team that can win the
race this year and successfully defend
1t for the two following years; or the
team that can hold it three years.
The other events today are the dry
test, prizes 800 and $50; tender race,
prizes $50 and $40; break and coupling
contest, prize $50.

YESTERDAYS RACES
Astoria and Vancouver kon the Net
Test and Speed Race.
Local Team Non the Vet Test BY Almost
Second and Lost the Speed Race by
About a FoOt-Eyents Today.

The annual firemen's tournament
opened in this city yesterday The
weather was all that could be desired.
The crowd was much larger than that
Of any former day Of regatta week and
the streets were packed all day long.
The races took place on Commercial
street. the course being from 18th
street west to Astorian corner.
The first race scheduled was the hand
engine contest, the prize being 500. As
no entries were made, the race was
declared OFF.
At II a m. the wet test hose race
was run, with 800 for the first prize
and $50 for the second. Entered were
The Dalles; 14th infantry, Vancouver
Barracks; Liberty, of Portland; Ore
gon City. and 'Astoria teams. The
Dalles was the first to run. The boys
put up a pretty race. but the man at
the hydrant was took quick with the
water, and the nozzle could not be
placed on the hose in time. The result
settled all chances for The Dalles boys
for the race.
Then the Astoria team was sent to
the mark. The starter failed to send
the local boys boys away in shape,
and nearly every man in the team went
to his knees. Despite this drawback
they made an excellent run and good
connection, getting water in 49 seconds
fiat.
Vancouver was next and the soldiers
came down the line like a streak, the
crowd setting up great cheer. They
got water in exactly 49 seconds.
The Liberty team, of Portland, was
the next to get away, and made a fine
run. Their time, also, was 40 seconds.
The last team to run was that of Ore
gon City. The boys started finely and
the expression, They'll settle that tie!"
was heard on all sides, But their wa
ter was slow, and the connections poor.
The time was 52laseconds.
The tie between Astoria, Vancouver
and Portland was run off at p. m. AS
toria ran first and the boys came down
the track like they were trying to win.
Their run was the neatest of the day
and their connections could not have
been better. When the judges an
nounced the time as 4S9S seconds the
crowd went wild.
Vancouver ran next and made 1t in
1875, while Portland's time was SOS
Thus. Astoria carried off the first prize
of 800, while Vancouver took second
place. with a prize of $50, The local
boys ran a great race and are de-
serving Of great credit.

Hi. Stoker's Discovcry.

The Wadsworth Dispatch says that
Hi. Stoker has discovered a new fuel
about three miles northwest of Love-
lock. 1t is nothing more or less than
turf similar to that made historic in
the songs and stories of Ireland. Its
luel properties are. doubtless furnished
by the growth and decay of tules for
centuries long past. The turf has
been hauled by the wagon load and
while burning gives we'll lasting fire
and throws much more heat than
wood. Parties, who have been ex-
perimenting with it. declare it to be
much more satisfactory for fuel than
wood. Lovelock and surrounding
territory are marvellous for the num-
Der and variety of mineral products
and it would look as if that country
ID now going to furnish a surprise in
other lines. Gentlemen from athe
old sod will be visiting Lovelock to
take a>look at or a warmth by peat
fire and the coast millionaires who
have imported turf from Ireland for
the sake Of old time recollections,
can now indulge in the luxury at a
less cost.
