Special Dispatch to The Call ASTORIA, Or., Aug. 20.—To-day's sport on the regatta course was unquestionably the finest ever seen in the West. Of the half dozen rowing events there was not one bad heat and in some races the hoats finished #o cloge together that the judges reached a decision with difficulty. The feature of the day was the four-oared barge race for the Pacific Coast cham- plonship. The competing crews were the Alamedas and the South Ends. In antici- pation of fine sport a great crowd was out and fully 15,000 persons saw the cham- pionship race. The crews appeared early for their warming up and were given an ovation by admirers in the grand stand. The course ‘was one and a half miles, with turns. The water was smooth, but the current was strong. The champion- hip race had heretofore been won by the Alamedas, but it seemed to-day that the the victorious crew would be colors of lowered. The Bouth Ends took the lead at the start and held it to the turn, where a length and a_ half separated the boats. In rounding the Alamedas closedyup, but in an effort to avoid the current [0st what had been gained. » Both crews rowed a 44 stroke to the turn, but after rounding dropped to 40. The South Ends were well In the lead coming into the home strétch, but when a few hundred yards from the finigsh the Alamedas spurted, in- creasing their stroke to 44. Owing to the distance between the boats (about. 600 yards) it was very difficult to tell which led. The Alamedas had the inside course | and made a magnificent finish. As the boats came home it was seen that they were nosc and nose and when the signal gun was fired at the finish the erowd be- lleved it was a dead heat. The: judges, however, awarded the race to the Ala- lmr:-da‘. who finished less than a yard | “The Alamedas’ coxswain was Charles Stockton, an Astoria lad, whose fine turn won the day for the crew. An idea of the exciting finish can be gained from the statement of the Alameda men, who be- licved the South Ends had won and con- soled one another after the gun was fired. The time was 10:10. - i The four-oared shell race between two Portland crews was won by the Senlors, whose stroke broke his oar and jumped overboard. Less than a length intervened between the boats. Time, 11:08. Four cutters from the United States | steamship Mohican took part in a most int ing all four finishing in a bunch. The boat representing the first division won. For the sixth time the crew from the Unifed States steamship Man- zanita won the whaleboat race from the United Btates steamship Columbine crew. H. F. Brewer won the 100-yard swim- ming race. The Portland yacht Skylark, which yes- terday carried off everything in both free- r-all races and the twenty-footer class, lost to the big sloop Undine in the free-for-all, but captured first prize in the twenty-footer class. 7 To-morrow the Alamedas will contest with a Portland crew in the four-oared barge race. A second drowning accident occurred this afternoon, when a mariner from the Mohican lost his life. With another mem- ber of the crew, the lad_was in a small boat, which cavsized. His name was Kluck and he lived in Milwaukee, Wis. The man drowned yesterday was named Olsen and was @ member of the crew of the British bark Poltalloch. BIG SCORES BY IRISHMEN. Visitors at the Sea Girt Ranges Dis- play Great Marksmanship. SEA GIRT, N. J.,, Aug. 30.—The Na- race, camp_ranges at Sea ay. The Ulster Rifle Association men and several of the American Shoot- ers monopolized the long ranges, begin- ning at the 800-yard ranges, and going back to the 900 and the 1000 vards, each man shooting eleven times at each dis- tance. At 90 yards John Morgan of Irelahd scored ten successive bullseyes and out of his first twenty shots he made twenty bullseyes at the 800 and 900 yards. When each side had finished the round of three distances Morgan had 133 points out of a possible 160, and Robert Duncan, another Ulster man, had a_ similar score. There was only a light wind in evidence while the men were firing over the shorter ranges, but when they began at 1000 yards there was a fitful, puffy wind which both- ered them. and the scoring became irreg- ular. J. R. Willlams of Belfast made the top score of 45 out of a-possible 50 at this distance, and his total for the three ranges was 131, The next best work was that of Major J. N. Milner; whose name has heen jden- tified with international rifie shooting since 1874, when the Irish team first vis- ited Creedmoor. While he has not been at his best for some months, he shot very well to-day and his aggregate score was |, 132. None of the scores of the American contingent was made known, but it was generally understood {hat their shooting was not as good as that of the visitors. ———eee. § ‘When you see a girl with only one glove on it's & sign that she has a new ring on the other hand. WARM CONTEST N EAGH HEN WOODLAND, Aug. 30.—The largest crowd of the week witnessed the final “broneo busting” exhibition to-day. The broncos were a rather tame lot and the sport was not so exciting as on the first day. Morrls of Yolo was awarded first prize, and Gruwell and Young of San Jose second and third prizes, respectively. The prize for the best rider was divided be- tween Welch and Starks. The trot for the 2:30-class was the best race to-day. Every heat furnished a con- test. The scratching of Kelly Briggs made Martha Whips a prohibitive favorite in the free-for-all pace. and lh% race was devoid of interest. Martha Whips could certainly have gone four or five seconds faster. She will be taken to Oregon after the State Fair. The morning races, especially the six furlong dash, were hotly contested. Cath- erine Bravo got the décision by a nose sniySwiltwater was hpped. on Whale- ack. Many San Franciscans and Sacramen- tans are expected on Saturday on account of the pace for the 2:30-class and the dis- trict road race. he "automobile race promises to be one of the greatest events of the week.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—The Shamrock had a most interesting trial spin for four hours to-day in a light breeze from the southeast. After making a coupls of tacks to_fetch out of the rough Gedney chan- nel. she stood out to sea on the starboard tack under malnsail, club topsall, jib staysail and baby jib staysail. Passing Sandy Hook lightship close aboard, the yacht stood offshore six miles. Sir Thomas Lipton and George L. Watson, with Commodore Hillyard, were then transferred to the Erin. The Shamrock, after making a short tack, kept off at 1:15 for home. The spinnaker boom was dropped to port and at 1:33 the sall was hoisted and set in one minute. Those following the vacht had just time to get a good look at the sail, which it was sald was the handsomest piece of linen ever seen on a cup challenger, when it was quickly lowered and_ at 145 a balloon sail was substituted for the working one. With the wind over the port quarter, the Shamrock for the next hour traveled nine knots easily without making more than a ripple on the water. Coming in through Gedney channel at 2:45, the wind increased, and with a mag- nificent burst of speed theflyacht traveled from there to the point off the Hook at a twelve-knot clip. There she luffed and took in all her salis except the jib. Then she sailed to her moorings and made fast Lkt (8 2aid to be th at s sald to be the greatest wager In the history of the Sporiing world hes been arranged on the result of the in- ternational yacht race.

Whalen was_sacrificed on a fleld of er- rors in the first inning at Recreation Grounds yesterday afternoon. When the Dudes took to the sticks the fun began for Ewing. Hit twice, Whalen received such poor support that six runs were counted for Oakland before the Dudes were forced to go to the field. The local team played with a looseness that would have lost anything. Even Hildebrand dropped a fly and threw the ball to an uncovered base, but later re- deemed himself by a sensational catch. Eleven Dudes stepped to the plate in the first inning. After this Whalen himself went bad. being found frequently for small bunches and showing a fulsome generosity for fur- nishing free transportation. In the fourth and fifth innings Oakland put on another roll of runs. After the first inming the game was listless, presenting no element of a contest. In the eighth Josh Reilly put the ball over the center field fence, giving the lo- cal team a stroke on the board. Score: SAN FRANCTSCO. AB. R. BH. SB. PO. A. E.
