This dainty little fleet will be aug
mented by scores Of fine launches, local
and foreign, aud hundreds OF other
pleasure craft, besides all the local
steamers are billed to contribute in
every way possible, so that ther will
be spaces nor hours without something
OF interest going on ailoat.
The regatta bali on the first night
will be one OF the star events, not only
Of the carnival season, but OF the As
toria social season, and the grand march
will be led by Queen Esther !, her six
teen naval aides; Admiral +. d. Kuett'
ner, and his staff OF officers, the phalanS
to be completed by the thousands OF
visitors and homepeople. The hall had
not been determined upon at noon yes
teday, but will be known and declared
in tomorrow's Astorian The decora'
tions are to be unstinted and beautiful
as Volumes OF rich material and the
best taste in the city can devise. and
the whole affair will be among the
things by which this regatta may be
recalled
The kennels for the Clatsop county
bench show are being put up by Chair
man I'd. Llewelyn, in the west wing OF
the new court house, and that means
that they are being properly built and
arranged in all ways. He intends to
make the bench in model shape to secure
the separate security Of every dog en-
tered, and he has already entered 40,
| with room for 55, and plans for addi-
tona rom for 100 on top of those.
No person need feel any uneasiness on
the score of the safety or the care his
or her dog will be given. The necommo-
dations are all detached roomy and
safe. and the best attentin win be paid
to all exhibits, and the kennels will be
handsomely decorated in the regatta
colors, and is bound to be one of the
leading features OF the twelfth an
nual."
Manager Jensen is working night and
day to round out the utility and beauty
of the County Fair exhibit room on the
center of the new court house and once
this fine department is stocked with
exhibits it will play a prominent part IN
the history of the 1906 regatta.
Everywhere, and in all hands, the
best and brightest Of entertainment OF
all descriptions, is underway, in behalf
Of the coming land and water show,
and there will be no disappointment to
shadow the big event unless the weather
falls down, theoretically, and literally
and OF this mischance there is little to
anticipate.
Yesterday the Linen Thread Company
OF New York, through its resident agents
in this city, Messrs. Fisher Brothers
Company, made the handsome donation
|
Of rs pounds Of No. 80 salmon twine, al
a first prize for the fishing boats race
on the first day of the coming regatta
This is in accord with this company's
generous acknowledgment Of the famous
water festival at Astoria, as they never
miss season without making some
such presentation in this behalf, and it
is most thoroughly appreciated by the
general committee and all Others con
cerned.
The regatta committee has added an
unique and valuable feature to the ar
rangements for this years regatta, by
leasing the Hess restaurant room, or
Eleventh street, near Bond, for the re-
gatta days, as a reception room an;
place Of rest for ladies and childreni
the place will be equipped with chairs
lounges, mirrors, cots for the babies ant
little people, and all conveniences s'
much in demand on such occasions
They are to be commended for theil
