SOLDIERS DISPLAY FINE.
BAYONET DRILL
REGULARS FROM FIT STEVENS
ALSO PLEASE CROWD WITH
WALL-SCALING FEATS.

One of the most interesting features
Of the Regatta to many was the dis
play made by soldiers from Fort
Stevens yesterday afternoon on Duane
street. They gave bayonet drill
that was skilful and rather spectacu-
lar, and a short time later other sol
diers from the Fort gave an exhibi-
ton Of wall-scaling that proved di-
verting to the many watchers.
Probably 500 people had gathered
on Duane street to see the soldiers at
their work, and as the men stood in a
wide open order to give freedom to
their movements, it was readily pos
sible for everyone in the crowd to see
every movement of the bayonet
drill,
This drill was made with the regu-
lation rifle, with the bayonets attach
ed, and the company showed a precis-
ion Of movement and certain grace
and agility that proved interesting
enough to watch. Especially to those
who knew that each gun weighed
probably eight or nine pounds the
work seemed particularly good, for to
handle light wand is an entirely diff
ferent thing from handling heavy
rife The movemnts included certain
guards, lunges, and side steppings and
turnings,
The men worked very we'll together
and formed a spectacle we'll worth
seeing Especially was 1t noticeable
that practically every man in this
drill seemed very much of a man,
physically, and they seemed to go
through the arduous bayonet drilling
with comparative ease.
A band from the fort enlivened the
occasion with excellent music. After
the close Of the bayonet drill squad
Of soldiers went through the work Of
sealing wall-a high wall with fiat
top having been prepared for the ot
-casion-and in this the soldiers show
ed much skill and activity The drill
included firing from the top Of tn,

WAS A PRETTY SIGHT.
AT THE CITY HALL
INTERESTING ADDRESSES ARE
MADE AT CLOSE OF THE
SAENcERFEST PARADE

Perhaps one OF the prettiest spec
tacles OF the Regatta week were the
ceremonies at the city hall yesterday
afternoon at the close OF the parade
by the scandinavian singing societies.
The sun shone brightly, and its warm
, and welcome rays fell upon the Queen
OF the Regatta and her attendant
maids as they sat In state on the steps
OF the municipal building,
Members OF the Regatta committee
attired in their handsome white uni
forms, and also the members OF the
singing societies also attired in
white, formed a double line. in front
OF the Queen. Around on the lawns
and on the street, and also on the
steps OF St, Mary's hospital, was
gathered crowd OF several hundred.
Mayor Wise, as the head Of the Re-
Yatta committee and of the municipal
ity, delivered an address Of welcome
to the singing societies, and ne was
followed by Tom Richardson, of the
Portland chamber of commerce and by
Admiral Shepherd, in brief but inter-
csting talks Admiral Shepherd add
ed to his laurels by proving that he is
humorist and in his little talk he
Kept the faces Of his auditors wreath
ed in smiles He spoke Of the pleas
ure il had been to him when he laid
the crown upon the head of the
Queen, Miss Wise.
"And this" Admiral Shepherd said,
"this was the crowning moment OF
my life"
The play upon the words was SO ex-
ceilent that everyone laughed. Mr.
Richardson's talk was Of the kind ex-
pected from him, from the man who
is taking a leading part in upbuildine
the state and its resources, Mr.
Richardson is forceful and pleasing
speaker and his brief address was
listened to with much interest.
Mayor Wise spoke with feeling, his
address being as follows

official or private duties have weighed
heavily upon my mind, drove away

Hence, when | was told that our
city would once more have the rare

"a few weeks ago 1t seemed as if
there would be no Regatta, but |
could not bear the thought. Therefore
| gladly put on the harness as chairman

determination that this, my last year
as Mayor Of Astoria should not go
by, without visit from my jolly,
singing friends, and you are my
friends. You need not tell me, | can
see it in our eyes, Why, the very air
seems to be filled with the spirit of
friendly good-fellowship.
so, bid you welcome, my friends,
each and every one of you, and hope
that every minutes will be to on an
hour of pleasure, that each day here
may equal a years delight, and your
short stay in Astoria may fill the rest
Of your lives with delight that
comes only from a recollection OF
an occasion like this,
"Our fair Queen who is Wise for
her years, joins me in this welcome.
Her lovely maids, her pages and her
entire court, are of like opinion.
The Admiral OF the Queens navy and
his valiant officers are ready to defend
you against enemies from abroad, and
to be your friends at home, Every
mothers son and daughter Of Astoria
enjoys your visit. If you admire the
blue of our skies, the brown of our
hills or the green Of our trees, we will
paint a copy upon your minds as q

few were lifted up and jumped on

their guns, assisted the others up. 1t
took only a moment for all to get
over, and to fire their weapons at an

The soldiers also gave a tent-pitch-
