S1O.O0fl.THOT WON RACE AT HARVEST FESTIVAL, WINNER OF EVENT AND TWO OFFICIALS OF MEET. FIELD IN $10,000 BY HELEN STILES THE After Thrilling Finish, Califor nia Mare Captures Great Race at Fair. .1 "wewjrt rt '- "J sV-..'. " fc-.. FIVE HEATS ARE NECESSARY Moot Srnsallonal Harness Events Ever Held In Portland Seen hj 17.000 Teople Prince Ixt Gives Hard Ron to Victor. With perfect weather and ldal rac ing; conditions prevailing-, ths first tlO.aon trotting- event ever held In the Northwest was successfully run yester day at the trck of the Portland Fair and Uvfilock Association. Seventeen thousand people took advantage of the splendid weather to see the greatest hone race ever held In Portland. It was truly a irreat race, for It re quired five heats to decide the winner. 0. A. Durfee. of San Jose. Cal.. carried ff the honors by pllotlnc hie bay mare. Helen Stiles, under the wire first In the last three heats. His victory In the third heat Is disputed by some who ouestlon the acting of the Judces In awarding- the Purfee entry the decision In one of the closest finishes ever made here In a harness race. Prince Ixrt Nosed Out. The old saw about a horse's winning; y sticking- out his tongue could cer tainly apply to this race, so cloae were Helen Stiles and Prince Lot. the latter also a California horse, at the wire. In fact, many who were Just oppoalte the Judges' stand declared that C. A. Spencer, driver of Prince Lot. had picked him up and shoved him over tha marsrin Just a wee bit ahead of the speedy mare. Prince Lot had a comparatively easy time winning- the first two heats, with aeveral lengths to spare In each. But In the third Helen utiles came up fast In the stretch and overtook Spencer's entry wtihln 100 yards of the finish, ami the struggle between the two horses from then to tue wire was a magnificent sight to watch. Turf his tory has recorded many a close finish In both harness and running races, but It Is doubtful If ever a field of 10 start ers has approached the wire bunched closer than happened yesterday In this heat. Four Horws In Final Heals. When the herald called for the horses entered In this bis event. 13 of the original 16 entries responded. I-ady Mal colm and Zoimll were scratched, and In the drawing for positions Culcello drew xt-e pole for Lady Inn. which horse fin.artet fourth. According to the rules only the four horses standing the best chance to win places are eligible for the final heals. Of the four horses to get into the money at the finish, three got away in the first rank, for Durfee drew a position in the second rank, but despite this handicap he finished fifth in the first heat, lu the second hest he took second honors away from Joe McGuire and his lee Crawfurd. and In the third Helen i.Ilcr sensational victory made It neces sary to run the next two heats. Hnlsh Is Thrilling. T hen the four eligible for the final struggle faced the starter for the fourth heat of the race. McCarthy sent them away to a perfect alignment. A better fart mas never seen here before, and it is doubtful If any starter In this sec tion of the country has done better work than the man now handling the races at the Portland track. By virtue of her victory in the third heat. Helen Stiles had the pole, and while hard pressed by both Prince Lot and Lee Crawford, she gamely held to the front and finished a good length ahead of Spencer's entry, while the latter took second honors with ease from MeOuire. In the last heat It was essy smiling for He!rn S:i!es. aa she pulled away from the Meld after passing the three quarters ard ass In no danger at any time on entering the stretch. Fat Time Made. The Judges watched the flrvwh of that third heat carefully and rendered an un b:ased decision, for despite the large nurrber of admirers of Prince Lot, who thought that horse should have won, there are many who side with the Judges. At any rale It was a great race. Helen St!s is a bay mare by Sydney Dillon, and one of the meat promising Califor nia horses. The best time In the big rirrt was 2 &t. made In the third heat. M'e the Interest In the btg stake event naturally overshadowed that In any oih'r. there were two other meritorious ra.-es which served as appetizers to the big throng. The first race on the pro gramme was the futurity or "baby" race. fr l-year-olds. This rave required but tiro heats to reacn a decision, as Dick Wilrn piloted Mrs. A. R. Shreve's Ruby 1. ght. a coll by the famous Searchlight, to victory In two straight heats.

L. W'hltmore'a Jean Reid and . K. West's Amy Msy both went lame In workouts and were scratched. Bonnie Antrim Consistent. Fred Brooker's Bonnie Antrim proved ihe most consistent performer of the day bv winning the Z:l psce in three straight heats, each time with a fine margin to par" over the other four starters.

"With Ideal meather prevailing, the fourth day of the Livestock Show opened etorday morning with the largest crowd of the week present. The spectators be gan to arrive early and by the time the Judging started, hundreds of people were lined around the exhibition ring, waiting to hear the decisions. The blooded draft horseev groomed and sleek and fat. attracted tho attention of the cromds. Judge Mordo McDonald had his hands full In going through the large string and picking out the most perfect specimens. Old-time livestock men declared a finer lit of draft horses has never been assembled at the Country Club ground The list of Clydesc'ale and English Shire classes mas completed by noon yes terday. In the Clydesdale class, there were sxime fine entries and It mas neces sary to make close decisions between horses omned by John Painter, of Balem; William Hastings, of Boyd. Or., and W. D. Claggetl. of Salem. The grand cham pionship was awarded to the stallion, Oregon Stamp, omned by Mr. Clsggett. In the liigltah Shire class. A. C. Ruby haa some imported horses on exhibition that have struck the admiration of the spectators. There mas no competition In this class and Mr. Ruby's animals were showered mlth blue ribbons. The Bel gian and Pereheron classes mill be Judged this morning and those with the heavy draft horses snd mules will complete the 1IM of horses. Crap Game Broken Up. While the crowds mere matching the mork of the Judges several of the Jockeys gathered In a secluded cormer of one of the fearne and mere enjoying a game of craps wrieiw they were discovered by Secretary Welch. In getting away, they left their stakes on 'he ground. - The total amount -picked up hy Mr. Welch was Cift which m-as turned over to Treaev urer J. U Meier to help swell the gate receipts of the fair. In recognition of the great attendance, which was close to 20.000 yesterday, stock men urged the tjinouncement that if good support Is given this fair for the next tso days hey mill bring here next year a I1.000.0UO stock shorn-, which m-111 be a credit to the entire Northwest. Yes terday's attendance proved to all that Portland can give the patronage needed to make tho greatest livestock shorn- of the West. Stockmen were more enthu siastic last night than ever before In the history of the industry, as they seem to foresee here the making of the most brilliant stock exposition of the entire West. Crowds Greatest, Says Welch. 'Today we had the greatest attend ance that has ever been given any fair and livestock show of Oregon, mith the exception, of the Iemta A Clark ex position crowds." declared Secretary Welch.
