Sites WON The TWO MILE
The Local Champion Took the Sec
0nd Event With Ease.
Cassin, the Winner Of the Mile,
Lasted Only Two Laps-Inter-
esting Events Today.

A large crowd OF enthusiasts was on
hand last evening TO witness the second
nights championship contests at the Ice
Palace. The race was thought to be be-
tween Joe Cassin, who won the mile race
the previous night and Harry Sites, the
local champion. However, the outcome
proved otherwise. as Cassln dropped outon
the second lap. Several Of the entries
dropped out during the day, and when
the hour for the race arrived only seven
men were on hand TO start. It was, there
fore, determined to start the men in a
bunch, so as to dispense with heats. Con-
sidering the narrow track it was some
what remarkable and highly creditable
that so little foulng was done.
A few moments after 9 o'clock the men
lined up for the start, and after a few
words from the officials as to the dan
ger of fouling on the narrow track, the
starters pistol sent them off. Suites at
once set clipping pace and soon drew
away from the bunch. Cassin was peck
eted and could net duplicate the sprint
until Sites was fully quarter OF lap
in the lead.
Then he got ahead of LIE Mat, and made
strong effort to overhaul Sites, who
was skating splendidly. But his lack OF
condition soon began to tell upon him,
and at the end of the second lap he
dropped out, to the great disappointment
Of those who had hoped to see close
finish between the men. Sites kept up
his splendid stride without a sign OF
weakening, and gradually drew ahead of
the bunch, which was strung out behind.
Morris was doing splendid work, and it
was not until the first mile had been
passed that Sites was able to lap him.
However, Morris chances for an easy
Second place were spoiled, when, just Us

ally, foUled that skater, and was dis

Hewes made a pretty fight for second
place, but on the last lap the long-lmbed
youth of French descent began TO forge
ahead and secured the place.
Sites, in the meantime, had thrice Tapped
the last man, and he went over the line

All went well with the Golden Horn"
as she ran to the South. There were peo-
pie at Salem who had ridiculed her owners
for shipping strong crew, and fitting
her out with an armament strong enough
for privateer, but two or three ships
trading to the Indies had mysteriously
disappeared. and there were reports that
strange crafts were dodging about among
the islands. One night, when the boat
was nearing Mono Passage, on her way
into the Caribbean Sea, she was overtaken
by a thunderstorm, which resulted in a
strange accident A bolt OF lightning
struck and splintered yard, and one of
the flying splinters struck the captain
across the nose and blinded him. No
one could tell whether his eyeSight was
permanently injured or not, but he had to
give command of the ship to he mate, and
keep to his cabin and gropein the darkness.
Then he congratulated himself that ne had
given a berth to Tom Holly. The mate
was not only thorough seaman, but a
careful navigator, and the Golden Horn
was perfectly safe in his hands. She crept

Capt. Williams had no more to say on
the subject, but he had surprise in store
for her and the crew of the Golden Horn,
and for those who stood ON the wharf and
saw the bark sail away. A quarter of an
hour before she cast off Tom Holly came
aboard to act as chief mate.

and the talk began to die out, and the

town OF Salem in haIves-a street lined
with trees which cast their shade when

The success of NeZ Perez county
at Spokane ought to encourage
every citizen of the county to see
to it that the reputation made this
year is sustained by the exhibit
to be made next year. There is no
doubt other counties have been
stimulated to redonble their efforts
to secure the honor for next year.
Nez Perez cannot hope to win un-
less by some hearty cooperation
the citizens Of the county unite in
preparing the display for next
year. This much is true that no
county in the northwest has re-
ceived from the hands of Mother
Nature greater gifts Of soil and
climate than Nez Perez has, and
the success or failure of next year
will lay with the citizens whose
energy and enterprise will be
