14 OREGOSTAX, ' (VEDXESDAY, JUNE - 8, 1910. PHOTOGRAPHS OF PRIZE-WINNING ROSES X.. J J? ir&L fT FINEST ROSES-OF PORTLAND SHOWN Crowds Wait Two Hours for Doors of Exhibit in Ar mory to Open. DOORS CLOSED 3 TIMES Each Time 6000 People Enter and Xieave Building Mrs. A. C. Pan ton Gets Most Awards Vari eties Shown Remarkable. Imagine a great surging mans of hu ' inanity, expectant, impatient, held back at each door by a cordon of police: inside a large hall, literally bowered with roses; the air heavy with a delicious fragrance, accentuated by the unmistaka ble odor of the forest, spicy and invigor ating'; the low, sweet strains of music as the doors are thrown back and the crowd rushes in, and you have the formal open ing of the Rosa Show under the auspices of the Portland Rose Society. It was just 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon when the Armory was opened, after the judging of the exhibits was completed. For two hours outside a great throng of people, nine-tenths of them women, stood in the sun and waited. As the minutes flew by thei crowd increased until it stretched for two blocks each "way on Tenth and Eleventh streets, cen tering at the two entrances. The crowd in spite of the waiting was ood natured. Few left out of impati ence and when the doors were thrown open there was an orderly march inside. Around through the aisles, eagerly view ing the artistic arrangement of exhibits, the crowd surged. Soon the hall was tilled to its capacity and the police were forced again to close the doors until a portion of those Inside satisfied them selves and left. This was repeated three times and each time 6000 persons are thought to have entered and left. Roses Kill Armory. The rose was queen. Never in the his tory of this country or any other was greater ho.nage paid to her than yes terday. In no other city In the world could such a collection be made of roses. Everywhere there were roses roses. The somber girders of the Armory audi torium were twined with them; the solemn walls of the militaryappearing in terior were covered with them. Arranged in unformlty, on specially constructed stands, were banks of them. There were pyramids of shrubbery, great piles of roses, the air was permeated with na ture's delicate perfume. Exclamations of delight at some perfect specimen were numerous. In fact the ordinary ex clamatory vocabulary was exhausted be fore one had scarcely started. All during the afternoon De Caprio's band played, adding to the general impression. Dr. Emmet Drake, president of the so ciety, was smiling, the classification com mittee, composed of Mrs. John Minto. Mrs. Herbert Holman, Mrs. G. H. Lam berson and Mrs. Charles Xoon. also smiled. In fact everybody connected offi cially with the show was smiling, includ ing Miss Mary Abry, who was detailed to attach the trophies to the winning exhibits. Even the judges. Roland Qam wsll. of SelUngham. Wash.; W. SL Sib- it lit 3 4 so son, of Portland, and J. H. Booth, of Roseburgr, smiled, despite the disappoint ment they knew their work would cause to some. Mrs. Panton Gets Most Prizes. Mrs. A. C. Panton, wife of Dr. A. C. Panton, of Terrace Road, probably is entitled to the -most credit of all the ex hibitors Frederick V. Holman, who won first trophies In the class A exhibit, may be accorded second. Mrs- . Panton won eisht first trophies and nine seconds. She also got the prize for the best rose in any of the exhibits, as well as the beat collection of roses not exhibited prior to 1903. Her importations are famous and yesterday's awards were a vindication of her efforts. The best general exhibit, exclusive of class A, was awarded to Mrsi A. B. McLauchlan, while Mrs. Panton was given second. The best general nursery exhibit was awarded to dark Bros. The best dis trict collection was awarded to Willam ette Heights. Mount Tabor district got second in this and the Peninsula third. All of the judging was done by reference to the numbers of the exhibits and no names were known to the judges. Though not entered in any class, the hybrid of R. M. Bodley. a cross between a Richmond and pink Maman Cochet, -got an honorable mention. A new rose, "Queen of Portland," propagated by H. W. Pretty man. of Mount Tabor, and named toy Mrs. John Minto, a charter member of the" Rose Society, attracted much attention. Four specimens pre sented through local consuls of foreign governments were much commented upon. They were sent by the Empress of Germany, -a patroness of the Friends of Roses Society; the Mikado of Japan, the Regent of China and the King of Italy. The Armory was Open until late last night. It will be open today and to night only, when the roses, many of them, will be used in other decorations. AWARDS MADE TO EXHIBITORS Rose Society's Scale Followed in Judging Roses Displayed.

During the parade admissioin to the grandstand at the Postofflce will be free. It was proposed by the club mem bers to march over the route, but this was given up for a quicker way of covering the line of march.

The rest of the Indians will ride behind the coach. They will ap pear In their war costumes and with their ponies gaily bedecked with beads and feathers. The Umatillas have the finest collection of holiday attire of any tribe in the United States. Next in the parade, after the Indians, will come the Multnomah Club mem bers In the automobiles, and then will come the band of cowboys.
