the fact that he. Gosse, had sent him
four separate and distinct challenges
since April last. to-wit: In March last
for the San Diego contest on June lst,
for the trophy put up by the Coronado
Hotel & Beach Company; for the same

All Ate Watermelon.-The entire force
Of the Morning Astorian was yesterday
treated TO a feast in the shape of a
huge watermelon, thoughtfully contrib
buted by Ross, Higgins & Company
To say that the melon was appreciated,
would be stating it far too lightly. 1t
reminded the editor of the time he had
charge of a newspaper in the wilds of
Nebraska, and the offer of Il years
subscription, to the paper which ne made
to the farmer who should bring the larg-
est melon. Early in the season large
and luscious products of the vine began
to come into the Office for exhibition
and weighing. As the season advanced
the contributions became larger and the
keener in what farmers could raise the
largest watermelon, 1t was a poor day
when less than so melons arrived at
the office for judgment, and finally an
extra man had to be bred to attend to
the weighing part. 1t was seldom that
a farmer would keep his melon, and by
this means, the force all grew fat on the
best melons that the best watermelon
country in the world could produce. The
largest melon which was brought to
the office, weighed SO pounds and meas
ured three feet in thickness.

Mrs. NC. FlaveI and Daughters
Arrive in Astoria.
DIRECT FROM SAN FRANCISCO
Vivid Story Of perils Escaped in the
Doomed Metropolis-Details of the
Great Fire-Existence Under
Stern Conditions.

After six days of extraordinary stress
and anxiety, Mrs. NJ. c. Flavel and her
daughters, the Misses Nellie and Katie
Flavel, slighted from the ii'So express
in this city yesterday and drove i'm
mediately to their Eighth street home,
where for hour after hour they were re-
cepients of cvongratulation and welcome
delivered in person, and by the tele-
phone from all parts OF the city.
Later in the afternoon the ladies un'
folded to a reporter of the Morning As
torian a trenchant history of the dread
full hours spent in the despoiled city OF
San Francisco, from the moment OF
the occurance of the awful earthquake
to the hour OF their departure thence.
The details fully warrant the long and
deep apprehension felt here for their
safety, by their brother, Captain George
C. Flavel and his family, and the host
of friends who dwell here.
1t seems the ladies were occupying a
suite of rooms in the Occidental Hotel,
one of the oldest and most famous OF
the swell hostleries of the coast met
ropolis, and were awakened by the fall
ling Of the plaster from the ceiling and
walls of their apartments, and were
instantly conscious OF the nature OF the
visitation, having been in earthquakes
before, both in far Japan, and in the
same city then under attack. This
of course, was the severest of their ex-
periences, and the rocking house, the
pounding windows the grinding OF
bricks and stucco, the neighboring
crashes from buildings less firm on their
foundations than the old Occidental,
soon gave them assurance at once cer-
tain and terrifying, that they were in
the midst of an incalcuable and formid-
able evil. But, despite the fearful con,

yictions that assailed them they nev'
er lost presence OF mind for a moment
but clung TO each other in despairing
courage until the twenty-eight dread
full seconds Of the temhlor's duration
had passed. then, finding themselves un-
injured, and the great house still stand
ING, they proceeded to dress carefully
and comfortably. and left their rooms
for light and freedom of the open day.
En route through the halls and cor
ridors and the stairways OF the house
they met their fellow guests, in hun
dreds. swarming out to the streets IN
search al some surcease from the fears
and sensations with which they were
all furiened.
The Flavel ladies made straight for
Union Square, one OF the prettiest aud
smallest OF the public grounds in the
city, but very popular, and well down
town and here they found thousands OF
Others who had He'd from the adjacent
homes and hotels, and all eager to he
beyond the reach of falling walls and
towers. Every one seemed to be pos
sas,A with the kindliest aiki most
courteous feelings, and sort of rever-
eptial impression was evident on all
sides. After waiting here for several
hours, appalled, and almost stunned with
the growing uproar of the beleagWed
city and its gathering and passing thous
ands, and hearing that their hotel was
vet standing, they finally went back to
the Occidental to secure what might be
carried thence in the hands and arms.
They entered the house with trepid'
alton. for it was known TO have been
badly wrenched and strained, and
cautiously, yet quickly mounted the
stairs, accompanied by the house keep
er. Entering their rooms they hastily
gathered up such convenient and servi-
ceable things as they needed and packed
the rest in their trunks and locked them
leaving the room as soon as they pos
sibly could. and returned to the square
and stood for while debating their
next move. The wreck of the Lick
House. which they noted on the way
and the sights and rumors and evidences
of the accumulating horrors all about
them, made them determine to take any
chances that offered for getting TO the
western division of the city; and to
this end they made instant use OF a
carriage which had been commandeered
by a gentleman nearby, and who con-
sented to share the vehicle with them
Once in possession of this opportunity
for flight. they felt comparatively safe
and after dropping their fellow travel
er at his destination, they proceeded to
the home of Mrs. A. NJ. Simpson, on
