OIL NOTES.

The alleged shallow strike at Vienna
has failed to pan out as its owners
Fraz er Bros. 81 Co., and many other had
hoped it would. A small showing equal
to that in the Grier well, was gotten, but
shot failed to cause the anticipated re-
sponse. The we'll was on the Bell farm.
and WAS an i'm portant test.
The best strike which has been made
for some time was made about ten days
ago in the Hebron field on the widow
Smith farm by the Carter Oil company
The well is in Big Injun production and
has held up ever since it came in at a
good hundred barrels per day. This
we'll no doubt defines the northeastern
outlet of the pool and is considerably
ahead OF production heretofore.---Oii Re-

Second Annual Regatta Il China Lake.

On the first day of the second an
nual regatta of the China Regatta Club.
last week, there were seven yachts
to cross the line at the signal, namely:
Florence, Sidney J. Brown: Genie, j.
Jones; Hazel. H. B. Wallace; Ethel. j.
Q. Fish: Swallow, r. NJ. Jones: Ariel,
+. o. Farnsworth: Lizzie r. Stafford.
w. S. Bradley. The start was beauti-
full, and with a fair easterly wind the
boats skinned over the waves like
birds. The Genie was first over the
line in Is seconds the first day, and 20
seconds the second day. The Swallow
crossed at 80 seconds both days.
The finish the first day, corrected
time, was Swallow In, 13m. 55s; Genie
III, lam, GAS; Ariel III. 22m, Is; Ethel In,
27m, 44s; Hazel In, 34m, 25s: Florence
In. 40m, ais; Stafford drawn. The
Swallow therefore took the prize, a sill
yer cup, the same as last year. The
attendance at the first days race this
year was much larger than last year,
and all were pleased with the fine dis
play.
Alas, the second day Wednesday, all
hopes for fine day and race and other
sports were shattered. The steady east
wind and continued rain kept every
body almost at home, and the forenoon
sports were all cancelled.
At p. NJ. almost calm prevailed,
but the start was made in good time,
and the finish was about as on the first
day with the Swallow leading. The
rain of course made it disagreeable to
all, but did not deter quite snug little
crowd from assembling. But for the
storm it is certain that one of the
largest gatherings ever assembled here
would have been on hand.

Vera, in the last quarter, stepped on

somersault and Mark was shot through
the air, sulky and all, for distance of
thirty feet or So. 1t was not the dis
tance, he says, that counted, but the
way he was going over the face of the
earth when he landed. For minute.
he says, he walloped along over the
ground like Rugby football. He was
unhurt and the mare likewise with the
exception of a little injury to a leg
which doesn't amount to anything.

There was a great hunting, Sunday
evening, in the neighborhood of Child
street, after little Percy Cyphers, the
son of Herbert Cyphers. When it got
to be his bed time, Percy was missed,
and soon became very much wanted
young man. The vicinity was hunted
high and low and no one could be found
who could say as to his whereabouts,
whether the boy had been lost u
strayed, or perhaps stolen, until a ht:la
girl was seen who at once, with seem
ing instinct, said she thought that If
the hunters would look on the sofa in
the front room of his home, they would
then find the boy. She said she hal
seen him there on previous occasions,
many time, asleep. So they went to
the sofa and there found him. Had ne
been bear he would have bitten
them.
