tances those which were the first to begin
the pursuit; and so, at last, they surely run
down their prey.
Few other beasts show such powers of COM
bination; but that the wolves do so is well
authenticated. In the picture before us, it
is only the last relay of wolves which has
succeeded in overtaking the deer, but we may
be certain that the rest will soon be up.
Long before the she-wolf suekled Romulus
and Remus, upon the wild, desert banks of
the then unknown Tiber, legends about
wolves were in the mouths of all people, and
they are continued to the present day-in
Germany, in the story of the 'Werh-Wolf;" !"
in France, of the "Loup Garou;" and in
English-speaking countries, there are several,
the hest known of which is Little Red Rid
ing Hood"
In the very infancy of time, according to
our traditions, the Argans, pastoral people,
subsisting by their focks and herds, had this
prayer, "Deliver us from the WOLF"
The wolf was called, in many of these earlier
languages, the destroyer" or the "robber,"
while, from their great numbers and bold
ness, they became present and pressing
danger; and later, in the time of the Greeks
and Romans, the wolf supplied subject for
narrowing tales and superstitious beliefs,
which are kept up in quite recent times.
The Continental countries of Europe have
never succeeded in getting rid of wolves;
but IN Great Britain they have been extinct
for much more than century; and the great

lays his horns well back, and bounds along
with nose high in the air.
Then the curious business of shedding the
horns leaves them unprotected for some time
that is, if the antlers are to be considered
protection at all. When the old horn
drops off, the new one begins to grow at
once, and in its first condition is covered by
very soft, velvet-like membrance, which is
filed with vessels through which the blood
circulates with great freedom.
The young growth is exceedingly sensitive,
and the animal is very careful not to strike
it against any object, for it gives it great
pain. The horn grows larger each time it is
shed, and when il has attained full growth
''in the velvet" the base becomes surrounded
by tuberculous ring, called the burr. Then
the vessels cease to convey blood to the vel
vet membrane, and the latter dries up and
fakes off; SO that stag's horns, at that
period, have ragged appearance.
In regard to the wolves, which are seen
pulling down the stag, we may say that the
wolves have a method, well understood among
themselves, by which they capture deer, and
other animals of greater speed than them
selves which shows astonishing powers of
reason.
They seem to be able to judge, quite as well
as an experienced hunter, in what particu-
lar direction the stag will run when started.
With singular cunning, they station relays
along such route, SO that fresh ones may
take up the chase as the fleet animal dis

lection, is seldom seen, and only then as

Even now, on the continent OF Europe,
wolves frequently make their appearance in
alarming numbers. Under the French mon
arehy there was a high court official charged
with keeping wolves under, called "Grand

though this title is abolished under the re-
public, the duties devolve upon bureau or

About twelve hundred wolves, on an aver

by hunting them or by traps, and regular
bounty is paid for them.
Formerly they were great terror there

So late late as 1850 man was killed and

some fifteen hundred people in the Pyrenees;
and, in 1851, mad she-wof killed several

It was formerly thought that the dog was
a descendant of the WOLF but this is, at least
very doubtful. Wolves may certainly be

even a wolf could not swallow or digest.
The stag (cervus elephas), or red deer of
Northern Europe, bears a close resemblance
to the common deer of our country, but is
a larger and more powerful animal, as we may
see by comparing him with the wolves which
are attacking him.
There are, in all the world, eight genera
and as many as fiftytwo species of deer. Al
most all are graceful, swift-footed and timid,
unless brought to bay
Deer are distinguished from sntelopes and
hollow-horned ruminants, generally, by the
fact that their horns are solid, and are shed
periodically. There are other distinctions,
but this is the chief one
Deer are found all over the world, except
in Africa, south of the Sahara Desert (where
their place is supplied by antelopes), and in
Australia and the Pacific islands. Every
where they are distinguished for their acute
smell and hearing, while the sight of most
of them appears to be very sharp.
The most striking feature of the stag is
his antlers, or horns the points of which
increase in number with the age of the ami
NAL. In many species of deer both sexes
are provided with horns; in Others, the fe-
males have none.
In huntsman's parlance, when deer has
twelve points to the antlers, he is royal

er size than this; and stag has been killed
which had forty-ive points, and the antlers
which weighed seventy-four pounds. This
.ms a great weight for such an animal to

forests, and seldom use their horns for de.
fense To-be-sure, in the fights between the
bucks, they fence and push with them, anC
as they are, to a certain degree, elastic, some
times nterlock them in such way that they
are unable to separate them, and they have
been found starved to death in that condi
ton.

COMMITTEES ARE APPOINTED
Enthusiastic Citizens Meet in City Hall
Last Night and Discuss Plans
For Great Event -
Officers Named

The movement for the twelfth annual
regatta was commenced in earnest last
night when number of the prominent
business men of this city met in the
city hall and selected the officers to
manage the greatest water carnival of
its kind on the Pacific Coast.
There was the utmost enthusiasm dis
played by all, and that the coming re-
gatta will be the biggest and most sue
cessful of its kind ever given by As
torians, is q foregone conclusion.
The officers selected last night for the
regatta are: President, Richard NJ.
Leathers; e-president, Mayor Herman
Wise; secretary, Richard S, Smith;
treasurer, Albert Dunbar. Others men,
bers of the committee who will act with
the officers in making the regatta sue

Hon. J. Q. A. Bowlby was appointed

OF the big carnival, and he will have
power to appoint all his committees to
aid him in bringing this important part
of the regatta to a favorable co9clusion.
Nelson Troyer was selected as chair
man of the water carnival committee
with the same powers as Mr.. Bowlby
in his department.
1t is the intention to begin active
work at once and committees will short
ly be around to visit every one toward
raising money for carrying out the
plans. There will be many new and
novel features this year which Astorians
and the visitors have never seen and all
these different events will cost money,
SO it is up to all loyal residents to
come through with the coin.
The regatta committee of last year
has some cash on hand left over from
the regatta, and this will be used to
start operations with. Then all the
apparatus of previous years has been
kept in good conditions, and can be
used again. Everything has started off
