Humanity tiny bundles of humanity In swaddling clothes, humanity that Is Just beginning to toddle about and speak In . guttural monosyllables Is the ccntor of groatest interest In Portland today, and the topic of all well-regulated conversa tions. Today Is Babies' day at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Hundreds of anxious, expectant mothers tirerlmpatlently awaiting the hour when they may take their precious bundles to the Fair, there to exhibit them to an ad miring world. "What mother Is there who has not half-pitied an unknowing multi tude which has never beheld the exquisite """mite she lulls to sleep each night, and sometimes half a doxen times each night? And this Is the day she Is going to give the world a glimpse of this rare creation, the beauty of which has been shared here tefore by only a narrow circle of friends and relatives. Judges Will Decide. It may be the Judges of Infants provided "by the Exposition will have sense enough to award a prize to her precious one. How,, can they help but do so, for where Is there another Infant so beautiful? How ever, If Baby doesn't get a prize award, what's the difference? A lot of men Judges can't be oxpected to know a great deal about babies, and they'll be bound to pick out some baby that Isn't as fine as hers. If they cannot pick her baby from the crowd they must be a stupid lot. In deed. Baby is In Its very finest form. too. and will wear Its very finest bib and tuck er. Of course. It would be the best of the lot, with nothing on but a flour sack, but these trifling matters of dress might have some Influence on a lot of unknow ing Judges, so on -goes the finery- Hor rors! What if baby should get to crying and acting mean and the Judges should award It the prize for being the worst behaved Infant at the Fair. "Wouldn't that be terrible. But, then, Baby's so well behaved and such a smart baby that it will know better, and It seldom cries or frets, so what's the use worrying. Entries Number 826. Up to last evening there were 826 entries for the baby contest, which will occur in the Auditorium at 3 o'clock. Prior to this evenj. the babies' parade will take place. This feature begins promptly at 2 o'clock, and all mothers who desire their hopefuls to participate should be on hand 10 or 15 minutes earlier than that time. The place for assembling is at the Pa vilion annex, immediately behind the New York building. When you get inside the Fair grounds go straight ahead until you are past the Agricultural building, then turn teO'our right. At the first crossing turn again to your left, and after travel ing 200 feet in this direction you will find yourself right where you started for. There will be some one handy to tell you how to enter the baby In the parade. The line of march Is' comparatively short and on level ground. The parade will end at the Auditorium, where the making of awards will take place. Dan McAllen Will Attend. The feature of the exercises will be re marks by Dan McAllen, who is the author of Babies' day. Mr. McAllen Is a great authority on babies, and among other distinctions, bears the honor of being the father of the Exposition itself. He did notshave to nurse that Infant to maturity, however, but left it for H. W. Goode, Henry Heed and a few other tn era llr thA floor nights and rock the cradle of suc cess. .

CIRCLES OREGONIAN TOWER Gelatine Starts From Fair Grounds, Beats Cnrsv Into the City and Returns to Place Whence It Arose. What Js pronounced the most satisfac tory airship flight ever made was effected yesterday forenoon when the Gelatine, manned by Aeronaut Lincoln Beachey, left the Exposition grounds, encircled the Oregonlan tower, maneuvered over the business portion of the city and returned to the Exposition landing within a few feet of the starting place. Not only did the airship cover this dis tance of five miles without once becoming refractory, but it did so In an amazing short period of time. It made better time In traveling from the Exposition to the Oregonlan tower than do the street cars, covering the Journey In a trifle more than 16 minutes. Thousands Watch Flight. Thousands saw the performance from the streets and Exposition grounds. As he reached the business portion of the city Beachey dipped his vessel nearer the earth until he cleared the higher build ings less than 200 feet. His manner of op erating his chargo was easily discernible from the ground. Several times the young aeronaut paused to wave hla cap in response to cheering throngs. The airship started on its Journey at 11 o'clock from the Aeronautic Concourse. Inventor Baldwin instructed Beachey to visit the city. For some time young Beachey says It has been hlsambltlon.to encircle the big Oregonlan tower, al though heretofore he has felt a reluctancy in starting on such a difficult Journey. He found the weather conditions Ideal upon mounting Into the air, and decided that the time was ripe for making his dreamed of trip. Heading direct for the Oregonlan tower he wavered from his course not half a dozen yards at any time. Shows Remarkable Control. As the vessel turned about the tower a remarkable exhibition of control was given which did much to establish the dlrlgiblllty of airships. After passing over the Poatofflce building Beachey headed back to the Exposition. He ran his vessel up to a height "of 200 feet and then came another remarkable exhibition when he headed its nose foward St. Vincent's Hospital and reached that point with an altitude of less than 200 feet. He then arose to a height of nearly 300 feet and again descended gently Into the Exposi tion grounds, landing safely In the Aero nautic Concourse. Inventor Baldwin and Aeronaut Beach ey .were both entirely 'satisfied with the flight, and are confident that the prac ticability of airships will be rully estab lished before the end of the Lewis and Clark Exposition.

STOCK SHOW HEADY Blooded Horses and Cattle for Exposition. f MANY HAVE ARRIVED HERE One of the Greatest Events of Its Kind Will Open With Entries From All Over the Country. The whinnying of blooded, high-strung horses, the mooing of restless cows and the plaintive bleating of many sheep gave to the Govefcfiment peninsula at the Lewis and Clark Exposition last night the air of a great stock farm. Fifteen hundred head of stock there were, filling a dozen big stables and Inclosures. The final ship ments from the East had arrived during the day from the East ami Middle West. The greatest stock show ever seen west of the Rockies Is now practically ready for opening on Tuesday morning. There were 1$ cars of stock In a special train which drew Into the Exposition grounds yesterday. In this big shipment there were 000 animals. While they were billed from Hamllne. Minn., the animals represent stockgrowlng districts through out the entire state of Minnesota, as well as parts of Nebraska. Iowa. Illinois and Missouri. This big shipment completes the entries from outside of Oregon, sev eral other shipments having come In dur ing the week. The only other shipments are of sheep and swine from points noar Portland. These will come In today, to morrow and Monday. An Array of Caretakers. An army of 200 caretakers Is already- In the field looking after the stock now quar tered at the Exposition. A canvas of the sp'aclous stalls made lastvcvenlng revealed that there'are now over 1500 animals quar tered there. There are 500 fine cattle. 2S0 blooded horses and mules. SCO head of sheep and goats, and 150 head of swine, About 500 additional animals are to be re celved from local points. The stock is quartered In 12 stables, which are ar ranged In two rows facing each other. leaving a liberal space between for a showing place. At one end of the row Is a large show ring where much of the Judging will be done. The Judges will commence their work with the opening day of the exhibition. Stockmen from all over the Middle West are arriving-dally. Pacific Coast growers are expected In large numbers today and tomorrow. Having a shorter distance to come many have not made an early start. Stockmen Who Are Here. Among the stockmen to arrive yester day was Ike Forbes, director of the Amer lean 'Shorthorn Breeders' Association. Mr. Forbes has attended all of the. greater American livestock shows, and he states that thje. one In Portland Is to bo the greatest ever held In the west. In Short horn cattle he states, that the exhibit will be the greatest ever held In America. J. L. Smith, a Spokane stockman, was another arrival who sees In the Lewis and Clark livestock show one of the greatest ex hibits of stock ever held. All yesterday's shipments of stock were unloaded before nightfall and assigned to their various stalls. The busiest man at the Exposition yesterday and last night was M. D. wisdom, superintendent of the exhibit, to whom falls the task of looking after all stock arrivals. No con fusion of any kind has been encountered. Fire Insurance Men Meet. The Special Fire Insurance Agents' As soclation, of the Pacific Northwest, which has been meeting In Portland since Mon day. adjourned at the American Inn yes terday afternoon. A reception was given the delegates, about 50 In number, at 1:30 o clock, in the afternoon at the Oregon State building, after which a business meeting was held In the parlors of the American Inn. The officers for the en suing year will not be elected until De cember, when a meeting- will be held In Seattle. Last night the members held a banquet at the American Inn. The ofll- cers of the association are: F. J. Alex Mayer, president; John W. Gunn. vice- president; T. J. Gerould, secretary. Leaders of the Party Slighted and Feel Disposed to Follow the Standard of the Xebras- , kan in the Future. Gentlemen who had not their legs under the Folk banquet table Thursday- night at the American Inn,' were voic ing their displeasure yesterday. They were gentlemen whose toes have never et crossed the threshold of the "400," members of the Democratic party and ot the Missouri Society, who in their complaint cited that the banquet was a spiked-tall, open-front, bubble-water affair, from which the hosts of the common people were barred. In order that the elect might monopolize the initiation of Folk's boom for the Pres idency. And many patriots were not slow to declare that Folk, though perhaps a good man. was not their man for Pres ident, but that Bryan was. And- the slight felt by the hosts outside the banquet hall, did more to boom the Nebraskan than the banquet had done to boost the Mlssourlan. Ranks Not Represented. The ranks of the Democratic party were scarcely represented at tne 'feed." To be sure Governor Chamber lain was there, but they who ran the function could hardly leave him out. To be sure also, Alex Sweek, chairman of the Democratic State Central Com mittee, was present, but his Invitation had to be secured for him the last minute before the banquet, and Alex had hardly time to get on his spike-tall and patent leathers. Where was John B. Ryan, secretary of the State Cen tral Committee? among the reprobate. And where was Richard W. Montague, chairman of the City Ceneral Commit tee, and John VatZante, of the County Central committee; and John Lnmont and L. T. Peory and G. W. Alleb and C. B. Williams and G. H. Thomas and H. B. Nicholas and other potentates of Folk's Democratic party. They were not present; neither was General Kill feather nor Pat Powers nor Jim Foley. Missouri Society Slighted.' And where were members of the Mis souri Society, the organization whoso members are sons of the state which has lifted up Folk and offers him for President, the organization which had been planning for his reception these many moons? Not two dozen were there. True, W. M. Davis, president of tho society, was there, and Ogelsby Young, too. But ever so many more were num bered among the reprobate. T. C. Dev lin, City Auditor, was not sufficiently elect to deserve a -seat at the "400" banquet; nor V. K. Strode, nor J. V. Beach, nor T, J. Cleeton, nor Dr. F. Cauthorn, nor Dr. T. L. Eliot, nor Dr. M. F. Fenton, nor Milton A. Miller, nor Tom Llnvllle. nor W. T. Mulr. nor others such as C. K. Zllley, W. B. Bol ton. J. S. P. Copland, R. L. Darrow. Dr. H. C. Fenton, J. A. Frakes, Robert W. Galloway. Dr. S. M. Hamby, H. W. Man ning. John Lv Minor and R. R. Steele. Patriots Wag Their Tongues. All this put the patriots to wagging their tongues yesterday. It was cited that tho arrangements were under di rection of R. H. Kern, chairman of tho Missouri Commission to the Exposition and Mrs, J. B. Montgomery and J. Mel. Wood, who made a very "swell" event out of It. Members of the Missouri So ny said that though their organiza tion hud taken the lend In the plans entertain Folk, It had been frozen out and compelled to get out of sight. A committee headed by H. B. Nicholas, of the society, had been appointed to confer with the Missouri Commission ers, for the banquet, but its members had not even been Invited. Therefore, the Democratic braves were disposed yesterduy to keep Bryan for their standard-bearer Instead of taking up with r'olk. Among them were J. B. Ryan. H. B. Nicholas, Thomas O'Day, W. T. Vaughn. Oglesby Young and S. C. A'rmltage. These six were met yesterday, haphazard. n3 they plied their daily tasks. Quoth Mr. Ryan: Xot So Sure of Folk. "Folk for President? Oh, I don't know. He's going to be one of those exploded phenomena by and by. He's put boodlers In Jail, but that's what every Democrat ought to do; therefore Folk has done no more than his duty. Heney's ahead of him, for he's got a United States Senator on the way' to Jail. Folk has got to show me. I'm for Bryan or Tom Johnson." H. B. Nicholas had heard Brother Folk speak and though he had noth ing against the Mlssourlan, he could not see that Folk was a particularly brainy man. Folk might become Pres ident, but the biggest men of the coun try seldom won that office. Mr. Nicholas from the ground up was a Bryan man. Bryan Their Man. Thomas O'Day made no bones about saying that he was for Bryan, "the greatest man in the Democratic party and In any party." and Mr. O'Day wasn't sore over the banquet, either. Of the same opihion was W. T. Vaughn, member of the City Council, and Oglesby Young-, secretary of the Missouri -Society, and S. C. Armltage, secretary of the Young Men's Demo cratic Club. And the only Democrat of seven, who lifted up his voice In behalf of Folk was Pat Powers, who declared that hfc wouldn't have gone to the banquet even It he had been Invited, "I never attended a banquet In my life." quoth he, "except one," and Pat wouldn't tell when that was. CROWDED. Crowd3 throng the Mellln's Food booth in the Agriculture building at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Thousands of peo ple have visited this exhibit, and the booth Is ailed with interested people ail day long. Courteous attendants will tell you all anout tne pictures. Governor Folk Departs.
