ALAMEDA, CAL, Oct. 18.-The prepara-
tions for Thanksgiving day regatta on
Oakland Greek are being pushed with
vigor by Commissioner S. ]. Pembroke of
the Amateur Association, who promises to
have days sport that will long be re-
mem bered, if it does not storm.
There will be senior and intermediate
races and outrigger skiff races. The latter
promise to be an interesting feature of the
day. There are eight or nine entries
promised, and ten if the Columbia Club
ioins the Amateur Association before that
date. The Ariels, South Ends, Dolphins
and Alamedas will each enter two men.
In the Junior sculls Brown, the present
champion, McCausland, Duplissea and a
dark horse will enter.
Not the least of the days attractions will
be a ladies' four-oared barge race between
the San Diego team and new team Just
organized here. Already the Alameda
team are under the tutorship of pro-
fessional teacher, and they will give e
GOOD account of them selves on the creek.
ALI efforts to induce the promoters to dis
close the ladies' identity have failed. If
the Colum bia enters the association four
oar outrigger skiff race between them and
the u. G. team will be arranged. The
latter may also enter the intermediate
barge race.

LUMBER PRICES ADVANCE.

LUMBER PRICES ADVANCE.
Chicago, Nov. 10.-The Lum-
bermens association of this city
met with a full attendance last
night and advanced prices from
80 cents to 81 a thousand foot
and say they may go still higher.
Lumbre has been on a steady de.
cline since 1893. The dealers
who boosted prices say they have
only taken a step toward the
prices they will ask before next
spring if the tide of prosperity
continues. Some dealers believe
lumber will sustain an addition
al advance of from 81 to 50 a
thousand feet, the increasing
amount of building serving as the
warrant for the subsequent adj
vances. Another thing that con-
tributed to the advance was the
small quantity of lumber in the
city at present, being but GO per
cent of that on hand last year.
Then at this season of the year
lake transportation companies
increase freight rates. This
makes the expense of bringing
lumber to Chicago greater.
The dealers say that the ad.
vance is not in the nature of a
boom but is the logical result of
the conditions following upon the
election of Mckinley.
