of II was that Mr., Whyte agreed to

Other citizens OF the city present at

ADMIRAL FOR REGATTA.
G. II. Calender Accepts Honor and In
Opinion of All 10 Man for the Place.

9. II. Calender has been appointed
Admiral OF the Regatta next week to
succeed g. G. Chapman, who resigned
because he almost went "broke" In the
crash Of the Portland bank, recently.
Because II takes man wreathed in
smiles, and with good nature oozing from
every pore, Mr. Chapman felt unequal
to the task, under the circumstances,
and this left the Regatta without its
chief ornament--the Admiral.
The Regatta committee has been do
Ing some tall thinking since Mr.. Chap
man went under and finally came to the
conclusion that Mr.. Calender would
make model admiral He was ap-
preached on the matter yesterday and
accepted the proposition In the spirit
In which 1t was presented to him. The
Regatta committee feels that II is to be
congratulated in having secured a man
who will honor the position, and the
citizens In general are happy to know
that the new admiral has not let the
busting Of the Portland bank bother
him.
The selecting Of an admiral, to most
people, Is simple matter But, in the
opinion OF the Regatta committee, the
success of the annual event is helped
out to large extent BY the selection Of
a suitable admiral to dispense the hon.
ors of the Office. He must be man who
Is acceptable to the ladies Of the Re-
gatta. the Queen and her maids-of honor,
and he must be fine looking man. who
will do honor to Astoria in the opinion
Of the visitors to the city.
The committee Is confident that it has
the right man for the right place in
selecting Mr.. Calender, and the plans
for the admiral and his staff viii run
along smoothly from now until the open
ing day of the big Regatta and County
Fair. Everything points to this annual
event being the most successful in the
history of the city, and the biggest item
