THE REGATTA
DECLARED OFF
Bad Weather Forces a
Postponement Of
Event.

Owing to the stormy weather the
Waikiki Regatta, which was to have
taken place today, has been post
poned
No canoe could race in the sea which
is raging at Waikiki and it would be
almost impossible to hold any of the
events on the program. Many Of the
entries were from Kalihi, but the surf
has been so heavy as to make the trip
of the canoes from Kalihi to Waikiki
impracticable.
The enforced postponement of the
regatta will cause universal disap.
pointment. for it promised to be an
event as enjoyable as unique.
When the regatta will be held has
not been decided, but an effort will be
made to bring 1t of on Washington's
Birthday. after the Floral Parade.

ALL.-AROUND
CHAMPIONSHIP
Athletic Event Which
Should Be Popular
Here.

A suggestion was recently made in a
local paper that an all-around athletic
championship be decided in Honolulu.
The idea is a good one and such an
event would assuredly prove both in
teresting and popular. Hawaii has sew

The AIl-Around Championship Of
America was instituted in 1884 for this
purpose of giving man who is a good
average athlete chance to win cham
pionship honors in demonstrating his
ability in all-around work.
A man receives credit for his per-
formances, and it is not necessary that
he should be champion in any one
particular line in order to win the all.
around championship.
The contest comprises the following
ten events: 100 yards dash, high jump,
long jump, pole vault, throwing is,
pound shot, throwing 56-pound weight.
120 yards hurdle race, half-mile walk
and one-mile run.
In scoring the individual all-around
championship, a percentage system il
used. In each event the worlds best
amateur record is taken as a maxi.
mum, for which 1000 points are allow
ed. Then standard or limit Is estab-
lished, and performers equal to or

maximum and the limit, points are al,
lowed in accordance with graded
scales.

Our snapshots of the past will stay
And half our joys renew.

Our joys will always last,

Our photos gid the past.

Referendum INVOKED.
Prominent People Sign Petition
Plenty of Signatures.

Petitions calling for a refereu-
dun vote on the U diversity of
Oregon appropriation bill passed
by the last Legislature have beeu
circulated in Albany this week
by members OF the Linn county
grange. The petitions were
printed prior to the meeting held
last Saturday when it was de-
cided to invoke the referendum
upon the University of Oregon
appropriation, and their circula-
ton was commenced the first
thing Monday morning. The
work is going on under the dir
ection of the joint committee of
the Linn county, grange, ap-
pointed for that purpose.
That the move of the Linn
equity grange to invoke the re-
terendum is looked upon with
favor by a large number of per-
sons was shown by the experience
of those securing names for the
petition. their. success seemed
to be almost universal and they
state that very few persons re-
fused to afix their signature to
the petition, when it had been
explained. One petition circu-
lated by c. H. Walker was quick
ly filled and was filed with Coun-
ty Clerk J. w. Miller who will
forward it to the secretary of
state. The petition filed con-
tains the names of two of
the heaviest taxpayers in Linn
county, the Mayor of ALBANY,
County Judge, two ex.sheriffs of
Linn county, besides other PROM
inent persons.
The other petitions which are
being circulated throughout the
county. the committee reports,
were being rapidly signed, and it
was anticipated that there would
be no difficulty in securing the
required number of signatures in
time.

Looted the Luggage.

Thar thieves, experienced in
their work, took advantage of
the recent blockade of passenger
trains in Southern Oregon and
Northern California, to ply their
vocation has been made evident
by the arrival of baggage in AL,
bany that had been looted.
Among those who were suffer-
ers from the vandalism of the
robbers, were Mr.. and Mrs.
Brandshageu of San Francisco,
who arrived Sunday from the
South after being IN the block
ade. Their trunk, containing
valuab1es and personal belong
ings, arrived there yesterday and
when inspected was found to
have been looted of its contents,
with the exception of articles of
inconsiderable value. The lock
of the trunk, which was newly
purchased, had been broken and
tine trunk opened, and the con-
tents of any value removed. The
missing articles were valued at
over $50.
The cunning of the robbers is
evidenced by the fact that after
looting the trunk of its contents
the lock was loosely adjusted and
the straps which bound the trunk
refastened securely, so that the
crime was not discovered until
Mr.. and Mrs. Brandshagen re-
ceived the trunk.

fact. to kicking was due Ore
CONS success last year, and
Coach Bezdek is desirous that
nearly every man be able to punt
the ball about 50 or 90 yards.
Place and drop kicking, as we'll
as punting, will have a place in
the training. Signals will be
run little, but the main en-
phasis will be put on the indi-
vidual work of each man, as
falling on the bali, catching
passes and throwing from one
man to another. These things
are very important to the new
style of game. Spriuting and
starting will also be a part of the
routine.

GREAT RELAY RACE.
Something Unique i'm Athletic
Events-Happens on 27th.

The great relay race, as pro-
posed by tine Portland Y. M. c..
A. is no doubt destined to be
pulled off on April 27th. Gov

a letter in which the scheme is
fully set forth. There will be
several teams interested in the

team to do this gets the award,
which, as far as is now known,
will be silver cup and which
will be presented by the govern
or.
The relay promises to be of a
uniqus and interesting character
and will no doubt arouse unusual
interest among young men OF
blood and spirit who are in any
way athletic. A race such as the
one proposed has never been run
in the State of Oregon and it
will prove an event we'll worthy
the attention of Oregon athletes.
1t is proposed that in the near
future meeting of the managers
of the respective teams of the
basketball league will be held in
order to plan more definitely for
the big event. The race is to be
under the auspices of the state
league but will be open to teams
not in the league. Willamette
University will be represented in
the race. The Chemawa Indian
school has also signi6ed its in
tention of entering team. The
event is arousing interest among
the schools and a warm contest
is expected.
