At the meeting held last night In the
athletic club rooms to consider the
question OF holding n regatta, there
was a large attendance of the various
committees in charge of affairs. The
football committee, the regatta COM

were fully presented. A full discussion.
OF the matter was had from every point
OF view on business principles, and ac-
ton was only taken after careful con-
slderation of the who subject in all its
bearings.
After canvassing the ground thor
oughly the resignation of the regatta
committee was accepted This COM

fully covered the whole territory and
had thoroughly investigated the situa-
ton. They stated that in their opinion,

ness and in view Of the fact that the
firemen's tournament had already been
arranged for about the same time,
which event alone would require the
outlay of more than thousand dollars,
It would be impossible to raise the ad-

Portland, June 27.--rhe Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club. Of this city,
won from the Olympic Athletic Club.
OF San Francisco, today. in the athletic
games, by a score of 81 TO a.
Never in the hitsotry of this city has
there been such large and enthusias-
tic crowd at field sports The import
ance OF the games brought out thous-
ands. and the performances of the day
fully warranted the attendance.
There were thirteen events, and Of
those the Mutnomahs took nine first
places. Two Pacific coast records were
broken, those of the running high
jump and the mile run. Bert Kerrigan,
the youthful Multnomah man, and W.
c. Patterson, of the olympics each
cleared the bar in the running high
jump at feet 2 inches, which breaks
the former record of feet, held by
Kerrigan. The Olympic man refused
to jump off the tie and Kerrigan was
given first place.
In the mile run VIII E. Tallant, the
Astoria giant, made a wonderful race
and broke the Pacific coast record by
2S seconds, making the mile in 4 min
utes S1ss seconds, His performance
was marvellous and the great crowd
went wild as he came down the home
stretch far in the lead of his opponent
There was much speculation as to the
outcome of this event, and the result
caused unbounded enthusiasm.
The performance of Bert Kerrigan
was also wonderful, and he won the
three events in which he competed,
He was the smallest man in the games
and this served to increase the en-
thusiasm over his victories. His high
jump was better than anticipated by
the most sanguine, and the little fell
low received great ovation.
Following is summary of the differ
ent events:
Running high jump-Bert Kerrigan,
Multnomah, won; feet 2 inches; W,
C. Patterson, Olympic, second; feet
inches.
One hundred yard dash-A L. Fuller,
Multnomah, won; F, R. Butz, Olympic,
second; time. 1915 seconds.
One mile-will E. Tallant Multno-
nah, won; D. E. Brown. olympic, sec
ond; time, minutes, S1ss seconds.

The result Of the athletic games In
Portland yesterday was the source Of
unbounded enthusiasm on the part OF
local athletes yesterday. and large
crowds swarmed continually around
the Astorian's bulletin board. When
the news came that TaIlant had won
the mile. the enthusiasm Of the anxious
watchers was only exceeded by the
noise made in expressing II. But when
the news OF "Billy's" half-mile VIC
tory was received the crowds went
wild.
Pitted as he was against such man
as Brown-a man 20 whom an easy
victory was conceded in either the half
or the mIle-Tallant's performance was
splendid; in fact. 1t was wonderful,
The olymplcs relied greatly on Brown
and Edgren for the events in which
they were entered, and. having Port
land men TO compete against. Edgren
did his work; but Brown caught Tar
tar. Portland athletes conceded two
seconds in his races. never dreaming
he would show his heels to the Cali
fornian; but once again the Astorian
has demonstrated his wonderful
strength
Their is considerable satisfaction in
the thought that the great city Of Port
land had TO send to Astoria for a man
to win two races. There is still more
satisfaction in the fact that Tallant
broke che Pacific coast record in the
mile. He has made better time than
2;O4ss In the half. but was not COM
PEELED to yesterday. But the great Cal
ifornlan's scalp is dangling at wins
belt, and the city OF Astoria is truly
| proud Of her speedy son.
The performance OF little Bert Ker-
rigan was the most wonderful OF the
day. Bert is only "kid"-not yet 20
years Of age; weighs lbs pounds and
stands feet 6 inches. Yet that little
chunk OF humanity won his three
events. His high jump Of 6 feet
inches was marvellous. Some time ago
he jumped feet. breaking the p. n. A.
record. and the athletes of the state
started at him in wonder. There must
have been all kinds of enthusiasm let
loose, when little BERTHE made that g.
foot-2 jump. He also won the running
broad jump and the pole vault. In
the broad jump he covered 20 feet IL
inches. Johnson. who was entered for
this event. has cleared 81 feet inches,
1t is said, but was in no condition yes
terday. Still. that fact does not lessen
little Bertie's honors. Bert has large
number of warm friends in this city
who were overjoyed at his wonderful
work.

ADVICE THAT SHOULD BE HEED.
ED.
Baltimore Sun.

Now that this extraordinary campaign
is happily ended, it is most earnestly
to be hoped that the personal and social
divisions and discussions that have been
created by it viii be forgotten and for
given. Intense bitterness of feeling
leading even to social ostracism in many
cases-was produced by struggle which
arrayed old personal and political friends
and associates against each other, and
which developed charges and counter
charges well calculated to irritate and
offend. But Americans should have too
much sense, as well as too much manli-
ness, to bear malice against each other
or to remember with bitterness the words
which have been uttered in the heat of
the battle. What people of all parties
and all sections should remember is that
we are all Americans, citizens Of a COM
mon country of which we all have rea-
son to be proud, and in whose prosperity
we are all equally interested. Whatever
differences of opinion we may have en-
tertained or may still entertain on the
prominent issues of the campaign, we
cannot afford, as patriots, to perpetuate
ill-will or bad feeling. Acquiescing in
the result as the will of the majority, we
should put away all personal animosities
and clasp hands again with the former
friends from whom we may have been
separated or toward whom we may have
grown cold during the political conflict
Just ended.

atom This case was decided at the
October term, 1890, Of the Supreme court
OF the United States. Other cases can be
cited.
The question of the lease of the N. @.
r. X. vitality concerns the people Of North
Carolina. The disapproval Of the peoDle
was manifested at the time by the de-
nunciations of the press. The representa-
tives Of North Carolina Farmers Alliance
instituted two suits. to test the validity
of the lease Of the n. g. r. r.; one in
Wake, and one in Guilf0rd.
The suit in Wake was instituted first
and would have been pressed to an issue
had not the Attorney General denied
permission to bring suit in accordance
with the liberty Of action allowed by the
Supreme court.
The Cobb suit was secretly dismissed
without my consent, or that Of my coun-
sci, Judge David Schenck.
1t behooves the people Of North Caro-
lima to arouse themselves in reference
to the lease Of the N c. r. r. If allowed
to stand it means the absorption of all
our railroads by that octopus, the South

having spent three months in Raleigh III
the discharge of the arduous duties that
devolve upon the Chairman of the State
Democratic Executive committee. lie
saws that he is glad to get home for the
Sabbath's rest-that he really needs
weeks rest before returning to his prac-
fise-but that the accumulations of bust
ness will require him to plunge at once in
to tie practise, beginning this week with
Rockingham court. He will be in Raleigh
again week after next in attendance up
on the Supreme court
Mr. Manly spent yesterday morning
closing up the work of the campaign, and
in receiving calls from his friends and
party associates. lie has made many
friends here in his short stay His uni
form courtesy and his faithful efforts
for the party have made warm friends for
him of all those who came in contact
with him during the recent arduous cam
paign of which he was the manager. A
warm welcome awaits him here in Raj
eigh whenever he comes to the city, for
he did not fail to assist in local politics
whenever it was in his power.
In going home Mr.. Manly said he felt
somewhat like the fellow who was re-
turning to his mountain home in North
Carolina after the late war. He was
dirty, ragged and almost famished, but
he didn't stop. He kept tramping.

Mr.. Manly had the most difficult task
ever assumed by State chairman in
North Carolina He took the position
after the party had experienced its first
defeat in twenty years, and the demon
alizing influences of that defeat made
MS position one of great difficulty, as one
of great delicacy and responsibility. He
entered upon his duties with the knowi-
paign of a minority party, and sought
from the first to convert that minority
into majority by the employment of all
honorable means, and by an industry
that burned the midnight oil. He gave
up entirely his own private business, and
devoted his time, his thought and his
talent to the impossible task assigned
him.

ton of Mr. Bryan that it was improbable
that the State could be carried for him
without union of all the silver forces.
He also saw that the State would send
some gold bugs to Congress unless the
advocates of silver joined in the support
of silver candidates for Congress. The
joint arrangement for electors he secur-
ed, but not until he had been compelled
to bear an avalanche of abuse and harsh
criticism from those who ought to have
held up his hands. But neither criticism
nor abuse ever caused him to waiver and
the result of Tuesdays election demon
strates the wisdom of his course in re-
gard to the electoral ticket. 1t is proba-
BILE that but for the arrangement per-
fected, the stigma of North Carolina
casting its electoral vote for Mckinley
would have rested upon the State. Nc
Kinley has been elected, but it must be
gratifying to Chairman Manly to know
that his course averted any partici-
patton in a victory that means nothing
good for the agricultural sections of the
country. Three gold-bugs go to Con
gress from the State, but Mr.. Manly has
the satisfaction of knowing that he ear.
ly proposed an arrangement with other
silver men that would have sent a solid
delegation to Washington.
Not only were MIR. Manly's duties more
difncut than those Of any of his prede
cessors. but lie was hampered at every

WE'RE NOT LICKED YET.

Mckinley may have beaten Bryan by
70 electoral votes, though probably the
figures will be reduced. Does that mean
the death of the new Democracy Is
it a 'landslideY' Is it the end of the
effort in behalf of the common people
for which Bryan, above all Others
stands?
In 1888 Benjamin Harrison was elected
President of the United States. In the

within one or two votes of Major Nc

But in two years the people repudiated
Harrison by electing a Congress hostile
