TnE jrORXIXG OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1909. 10 rs'SHOw DRAWS BIG CROWD Good Card Offered on Second Day of .Stock Fair at Country Club. . MANY AWARDS ARE MADE Judges Finish With Cattle, Sheep and Swine and Oregon Animals Capture Honors In Nu merous Cases. An attendance of 7000 people, a most successful racing card In which Oregon and other Northwest horses shared large ly In the honors, snd completion of the bulk of the Judging of show stock, marked ths second day of the annual Portland Fair snd Livestock Exposition yester day. The Increased attendance that devel oped with the second day made Jt plain that auccrn Is in store for the big snow The first two days show a total attend ance of 9000. The Fair officials believe that now ths programme is well under way and the weather seems more inclined to behave, the daily attendance tne resi of the week will not run under 10.000. A precedent was established by ths liberality of the day's programme. Rac ing event followed racing event through out the afternoon, the band having barely time to finish a single selection between heats. The heats were generally fast and close finishes were -yie rule. The Interest of the thousands in the grand stand got no occasion to lag. Throngs Visit .Stock Stables. The long line of big show stables were well-attended throughout the day. All adjourned to the exhibit places following the races while hundreds arrived late in the afternoon to view the blooded stock. The great assemblage of blue-blooded horses, cattle, sheep and swine, was at lis very best and no one found it possi ble to view the whole exhibition In the few alloted hours. Two or three visits are necessary to those who would see all. ' Announcement late in the afternoon that the judging had been practically completed occasioned considerable sur prise. Inasmuch as the first returns had not beH expected before today. ' But the Judges got to work early and b,y 5 o'clock had finished with the cattle, sheep and swine. Tile Judging of horses Is still In progress. Northwest stock captured more pre miums than at any previous livestock exposition In Portland, so it was found when the work of the Judges had been checked over. The figures for compar ing the awards with those of last year were not available, but stockmen averred that the Increase was at least la per cent, a fact which bespeaks a rapid . advance in the science of stockralsing hereabouts. lilTely Xlght Programme. ' The night programme proved a lively one, and fully 2000 people were glad they remained tor the exhibitions of broncho-busting In the Illuminated ln closure In front of the show stables. Several rough customers In ths broncho line were reduced to various stages of submission. An Illuminated balloon as cension, band muslo and an assort ment of Home Stretch freak diversions filled In the hours until midnight. Ten thousand Is the minimum fixed for today's attendance, inasmuch as It Is All Portland day. The attendance of yesterday was stimulated to a con siderable extent by the Commercial Club and the day was officially desig nated as Commercial Club day. That organization, however, responded as In dividuals, no concerted plan of attend ance being developed. All the com " merclal organizations are urging a big turnout for today, and it Is probable that the predicted attendance of 10,000 will he easily passed. The racing programme of today Is the most Interesting thus far devised. Running and harness events will fill in the entire afternoon. Northwest horses will be pitted against California and Eastern horses In practically -nil of the events. The show stables will be open all day and broncho busting will oc- OBEGOX GREAT. STOCK COOfTRY. "From what I have sen of the country here I fee! that the place is ideal for the raising of stock and the character of animals should be as good as In any place In America." said E. D. King, an emrnent stock expert of Burllnicton, Kan., who made th awards on shrep and goats at the Portland livestock Exposition yesterday. "I find that Oregon Rtm boulllets. Shropshlres. Lincoln." Cots wolds and South Downs are very good indeed. The climate and condi tions generally seem most favorable to the Industry and livestock, ought to be of the very best 'here. - I think the display Is a credit to the country, except In swln. . The swine are not Just what- they might be." cur again In the evening. A costly dis v play of fireworks will be added to the night attractions. The night pro gramme will be the most lively of the week. Horses Judged Today. The Judging of show horses will like ly be completed by noon today. The outcome is being awaited with eager interest by stockmen. Jooal breeders are confident of capturing many of the more important premiums. The horses are being Judged on .their individuality, breeding and quality. ;In this regard, soundness, sine, symmetry, muscular de PORTLAND velopment, quality of feet ana logs, and eharater of movement are considered.

No disease was found among any of the sheep or hogs, every animal being in exception al condition. The penalty for erterlng animals that chance to be diseased has been fixed at 2u0.

Reeling oft the mile in f:ll4 was the star performance of Porter Broth'ers' Zombronut in the first heat of the :15 trotting event on the second day of rac ing at the track of the Portland Fair & Livestock Association yesterday, and, while this performance was the feature event, the other races were highly satis factory and the big fraternal day crowd was well pleased- with each attraction. While the performance of Zombronut, who won the event in three straight heats, was easily the best of the day, the card furnished- many close and exciting finishes and was notable for the good starts given each race by Uberto H. Stricler. All of the events were staged promptly on time and the day was ideal for racing. Even the postponed events of the previous day were run' off without delay and were decided on merit. In fact the only disappointing feature of the programme was the chariot race, in which the contesting teams were poorly matched in every respect. Big Card Offered Today. The good things of yesterday, and there were not a few, will be surpassed com pletely in the big racing card today, when the 32500 pacing race Is to be run. Today's card, on account of the number of-lassy entries in this, event, and the possibility of running out the five heats, will require the starting of the pro gramme promptly at 1:30 o'clock, e.t which time. Starter Strlder will send the first field away. In the 2:15 trot yesterday the four horses starting were all classy perform ers and any one of the field might 'easily have been the winner. However, Zom brorrat, a classy performer at the. recent' Salem meet, managed to maintain his stride in each heat, and the fact that he went through without breaking was all that gave him the decision over Lady Sirius, a stepper which may be matched with Joe McGulre's Day Break in a spe cial race to take place Saturday. In the first heat Zombronut outclassed the field without difficulty, for the other entries, all broke at one stage of the distance or another, and in this respect Lady Sirius, looked upon as a possibility, was the greatest offender. . The Anderson mare broke twice in this race and each time she went off her stride she was pressing the Porter entry keenly. Erwln, who drove, says he has never known her to perform like that before and cannot ex plain it, except by the fact that the track, at the start of the first heat, might have been a trifle too muddy for her gait. , Fast Time Is Made. The remarkable feature of the race Is that Zombronut, despite the mud, was piloted across by Fred Ward' In the re markable time of 2:11H- The best pre vious time mad for the trot of a mile on the Country Club track was made by John Caldwell in the races of 190, and with a better track during the rest of the week there Is en excellent possibility of this trotting record being broken. Lady Sirius took second in all three heats, while Cherry Blossom, which finished third In the first and second heats and came in fourth behind Cryllla Jones in the third heat, was awarded third money. In the last two heats Zombronut failed by soveral seconds to equal his mark made in the first heat. He covered the I OMBRON second heat in 2:17H and the third- and last heat in 2:15: The 2:20 pace for 3-year-olds fur nished a nice run. though the class of the race was easily Admiral Evans, owned by C. B. Johnson, of Ogden, and driven by his owner. Admiral Evans got away -well, and while he did hot have anv advantage in the start over the other ' two competitors, he soon took the pole and kept .the lead throughout. In the first heat he pracr tically won by himself, while In the second and -final heat he was pressed hard to the wire by Sadie T., owned by E. A. Herrman, of Pbrtland. and driven by Rohse; The third horse In this event was practically distanced In the second heat, though making a fair showing in the first. The event was for the best two In three and the vie tory of the Ogden entry was satisfac tory to. all. . Albany Horse Is Winner. - The third . race on the programme yesterday was the 2:25 pace for horses bred and trained In Oregon, and Cap tain Apperson, owned by S. S. Bailey, of Albany, and driven by H. Parker, Droved the best performer and won three straight heats.' In fact the Zom bro get showed '-high class for I youngster, and the victory, as well as the time made Is encouraging to Ore gon breeders. Mack N.-, owned by Samuel Marsden, of Marshfleld, took second money, and McCloskey Wain Wright, owned by M. F. Johnson, of Sherwood, was third. Only three horses started, for Demonio Wilkes, also entered, was found ineligible, as It was a California horse, and the stake was for Oregon entries. The first two heats were Daced in 2:18, and the last In 2:23. In the final heat of the 2:25 trot, postponed from Monday, Gloria O'Nell won in 2:20 flat, while Paul W. was second, and Nellie Mars third. Paul W.. the E. House entry, made a fine showing, though unfortunate' in get ting away badly. Had it rot been for his breaking shortly after the field was sent 'away , he might have won, as he did in the third heat of the opening day. . The postponed race from Monday, the 2:12 pace, was also decided in one heat yesterday, for Mortrix, owned by Mrs. F. D. Chadbourn, of Pleasanton, Cal., won handily In 2:20.

For two years the championship of Eastern Oregon has perched upon the Pendleton High's ban gers, and there Is every Indication that the feat will be repeated. .

La Grande and Walla Walla High Schools and the ' Colombia Junior College of Milton, two Willamette Valley games are already arranged and others are being negotiated for. -The two already scheduled are both to- be played at Eugene, one being with the team from the High School and the other being the representative of the freshman class of the University of Oregon.
