CROWNING OF THE
REGATTA QUEEN
Will Not Take Place Until TOday-The
Opening Spoiled By ShOwers-The
Rowing Race the Principal Event
of the Day.

ASTORIA, Aug. 19.-Immense crowds
of visitors and anxious Astorians were
disappointed this morning, as the time
for the opening ceremonies of the regat-
ia arrived with a drizzling rain. Neces-
sariIy the main parade and crowning of
the queen was postponed.
Admiral Days flagship took its posi-
tion off the grandstand, hoisted the sig
nal and the sports commenced. There
were Indian canoe races, high dives,
punt races and tub races. Gaily be-
decked yachts and launches covered the
bay and followed the judges boats, close
ly observing the different events.
The event of the morning was the
rowing races between the Alameda and
the San Francisco South End clubs. The
boats came up to the line in fine shape,
the crews we'll matched and well trained.
anxious to settle old scores. In starting
the Alamedas lost their rudder. The
boats turned and the Alamedas agreed
to row without rudder. There was
good water, raining slightly, when the
second start was made, at IL 80. The
South Ends had little the best of the
start, and in the first quarter of mile
pulled little over two lengths ahead.
both crews had beautiful stroke, and
nearing the first stake buoy the Alame-
das gained perceptibly on the South
Ends, turning the stake buoy two and q
half lengths ahead.
On the home stretch the Alamedas
came in with beautiful stroke, crossing
the line fret, and closely followed by
the South Ends; time 1854. The
crowds on shore and on the boats
cheered loudly, while whistles footed
and flags waved.
The weather has cleared, and the land
and water events will proceed according
to program. A big day is expected to-
morrow, as the program win have to be
increased by additions on account oi
omissions today.

Some of the delegates and members
of the grand council arrived on Fri
day of last week. he majority, how
ever, arrived on Monday and Tuesday
of this week. All trains which came
to the city on those days were met
by Kappa carriages and all visitors
were taken to the Lincoln hotel. Some
who have relatives or friends in the
city are spending at least part of the
time with them. On Tuesday evening
there was an informal reception at the
home of Misses Florence and Margaret
Winger, which was attended by almost
a hundred Kappas. This reception
was exclusively for Kappas, so as to
give them an opportunity to become
acquainted with each other before any
other strangers were introduced. They
were received by the hostesses, who
were assisted by Miss Richmond and
Miss Sargent. The nome was decorated
with many pennants of light and dark
blue, the color of the fraternity.
Across the curtains of the reception
room was the letter Sigma, the chap
ter which is entertaining. The din
ing room, where punch was served,
was decorated with long pennants and
blue and white flowers. At this re-
ception the pretty silver convention
pins were given to all guests. The
pms were compliment from ID. l..

When the final story of the war is writ

chapter devoted to the noble work per-
formed by the chaplains. Appointed to

these men. VINO. when shot and shell were
flying thick and fast, forgot all thoughts
Of their own safety and rushed boldly in
where the fighting was thickest, to bring
both spiritual and physical comfort to the
wounded and dying. Many a man un-

and a demoraIzing apprehension of the

accident in the average American city. but
not so in Boston, and from the nature of

No One Man Responsible.


With the full information obtainabIe at
hrst hand from returning soldiers it is
becoming more and more evident that no
one man can be held responsible for the
bad management in the camps on the
transports. in the commissary department
in the hospital service. The talk of the
volunteers makes it clear that there has
been much exaggeratiOn of the bad service
and that a good deal of the complaint has
been made without adequate cause Con-
VerSation with individual volunteers will
convince any fair minded man that some of
the haIdShlpS were brought about by the
men themselves; that a considerable pro-
portion of the sickness in camp could have
been prevented, in spite of the location of
certain camps, by the establishment OF
common sense rules. and that the regimen
tai officers We're to blame in many in
stances, because they were ignorant of
what was necessary to keep men in camp
healthy, well cared for or contented. If
some camp sites were unwiSely chosen if
some OF the transports were not all they
should have been, if part of the provisions
issued TO the troops were unfit to eat, some
Of the clothes shoddy. 1t was the duty of
the reg1mental officers to call attention to
these things, and to see that they were
remedied. Every one knows now that the
regular troops were well cared for, well
clothed, decently fed, kept clean and
as healthy as possible under the circum-
stances. The difference in condition be-
tween the regulars and the volunteers has
been a difference in officers: one body has
been officered by trained men. educated to
do the work they We're called on to do
the other officered in many cases by men

MOrk of the Corset.

Those who favor and those who oppose
the wearing of cOrsats will both find am
munition for their verbal warfare in two
recent incidents, one of which occurred in
New York and the other in Newark A
popular German actor, who has for many
years played female parts, died suddenly
few days ago and his death is now said
to have been caused by his wearing stays
He had taken on flesh to a large extent
during the summer vacation, and in order
TO make any sort of figure on the stage
1t was necessary for him to lace to an ex-
traordinary degree. The pressure of flesh
on his heart, due TO tight lacing, was what
brought about his end. So much for those
who oppose the use of artificial aids to the
female figure.
But there is another side to the story,
or, TO be more precise, another story. Re-
Gently in Newark d didn t-know-it-was-
loaded fool fired pistol pointblank at a
yCung woman. The bullet, for of course
the pistol went off, struck the unfortunate
girl in the breast. But she lived and the
doctors say that the bullet hit corset steal
and that this happening saved her life.
With these two bases for argument, there
would seem to be no reason why the
friends and the enemies of the corset can
rot manage to get farther apart than ever
