Mr.. H. G. Rooper informs us that the
results OF the horse ride last week were
quite surprise to everyone. The re-
port had gone out that a large number
of horses on the range, had died during
the past hard winter, whereas, Mr..
Rooper informs us, there are more horses
on the range this year than ever before.

The Astorians gained somewhat on
their bowling record which they estab-
lished Friday evening, by meeting the
same team on the alleys Saturday after
noon and winning two out of the four
games played, our team beating them by
sIxty-sIx pins. On Saturday night they
rolled against Messrs. DeHuff, Nolan,
Stadelman and Kurtz, beating them
three games and coming out fifty pins
ahead. Their visit was a pleasant one
for all concerned.
Get out your colors; your arnica,
soothing syrup, and all necessary ad-
iuncts, for tomorrow is the date when

Ihe ambulance will be on hand, and the
young ladies are preparing to soothe
the aching brow and bind up the
wounds. The game will be called at

Madam Mcclure, whose dressmaking
parlors in Portland hare always been
headquarters for ladies who go from

out her business to Miss Cain, who for
years has been in her employ. In COM
pany with Miss Clara Grimes, the latter
will arrive in this city Tuesday night,
and remain until Thursday evening, for
the purpose of meeting any ladies who
may desire to have work done and take
their orders. Further particulars will

observed as holiday particularly this
year) it is decoration day, the CHRONICLE
will not visit its readers tomorrow, but
give its employees an opportunity to

heroes by covering their resting places
with beautiful flowers. All will feel the
more like resuming the duties of the
