ONE PURSE IS $10,000 Easterners WiJI ' Send Fast Horses and Oregon Stockmen Are Fig-' uring on Entries Labor Day Is the Opening Date. September 7 will be the opening day of the biggest and best race meet as well as stock show exhibit in the his tory of the Portland Fair & Livestock: Association, for the ' organization is now. on a sound business basis and this year's display promises to be the most successful meet ever held in the Northwest. Increased interest in harness races is one of the principal reasons for the added enthusiasm over . the coming J1ICCI, WilllB VllO IBIUilJ Wi .ne ii una w nierQ uuuuii jf 1100 uctci- oped has increased the interest in the blooded stock industry to such an ex tent that the year's stock exhibit will easily eclipse any show ever before held: in this- section of the country. naces villi interest. : Primarily, the interest in- the com ing fair will naturally attach itself to the races, though the Portland Fair & Livestock Association is planning such a number -and series of splendid vaude ville ' attractions, that those who at tend the races this year will not have a dull moment to complain of during each afternoon. The usual intermis sions between harness races will be enlivened by the display of these at- (mcuuns. As the meeting opens on Labor Day, a holiday, it is expected to have a records-breaking "crowd on hand, and for this reason, the - association - is planing one of the "best cards -of "the week for that day. The labor organizations of Portland are" falling in line with the movement, and have pledged their sup port to the association. Welch in Charge. Last year, despite the lack of efficient management, th.e fair was -far more suc cessful than had been expected, but this year,-witti secretary weicn.-tne man wno has handled the Salem -State Fair for years, iri charge, the prospect for a greater and more prosperous show is promising. A -finer class of horses than ever per- lurmtm vri iiiw ruiuuuu iint:& . i .iro raced here this season, for the associa tion has put up some handsome purses, including the biggest stake ever offered in the Northwest. This stake will be the trotting 'race for 10.000, "which is al- rcauy Hill in 1 1 1: wiikbicuu uueiesi throughout the .harness . horse- world. Many promtnent Eastern turfmen and their horses will be on hand and horse men of the Northwest have not been neg lecting their chance to secure speedy ani mals with which to compete for the big prizes offered. Oregon Horses Will Figure. A- large number of Oregon horsemen are going to - figure prominently in the coming raceis, for several Portland en thusiasts have imported fancy steppers and are "having them handled by the veteran 'trainer, Dick Wilson, a man of National reputation in horse circles, and who has had 15 years' experience driv ing on the Grand Circuit. Wilson says that many of the horses he is now train ing for Oregon owners are as promising entries as he has ever seen on the Grand Circuit. He is enthusiastic over the pros pects of the coming meet here, and ex pects to win some laurels with his own entries, the handsome horses of the Patcheri strain.- Among the most prominent stock show t ' " " ,t.vCtl " I'll ISti winning pair of Belgian colts, Sennette and Congo. Senette won the cup for the best American brood mre, any age, at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, while at the same show Congo took first prize for the best stallion. Champion Herds Entered. W.' O. Minor's champion short-horn herd headed by his $3500 bull, Golden Goods, will jne another feature- of the stock exhibit. William Bishop has two Holsteins, winners of several prizes and ribbons at -the 'Seattle fair, which will be -on exhibition - here. Frank Brown's imported Shropshire ram, Portons, winner of most of the championship prizes at the majority of the Northwest fairs last year, is another star entry, and there are a. number of .high-class rams entered this year which are looked upon as likely contenders with this champion. In all lines of the stock industry espe cial effort is being made by the breeders tp bring the best exhibits possible to the Portland show, and this enterprise on their pirt is ah indication of the future success of the show. Better and hand somer prizes are being put up for the stock exhibit this year than ever before, and this is one of the reasons for the in creased endeavors of the breeders to be represented strongly. Following are the entries: Monday, September 5. Race No. 2, 2:10 pace. $1000 Birdal, roan m.. Blrdalex. Bonnie Antrln Antrim. R. E. i . im 1 1. iiic, v tin ii. . jUuRe uiuara, cn. s., Hal Dillard.

GIRL WELCOMED FROM JAIL Released Irish "Anti-Ranch" Advo cate Received by Crowds. ' MULLIXGAR, Ireland. July 9. Large crowds of the people of Horseleap, Rose mouht, Castletown. Klllare. Streamstown and Dyeart, assembled last Friday even ing to welcome horn Miss Mary Sheerin, who was released that day from Tulla more jail, and traveled to Streamstown by train. Miss Sheerin had gone to jail on the previous Saturday for a week, having re fused to pay the alternative fine of $2.50 imposed. Mrs. Sheerin and Miss Sheerin had appeared before Magistrate Bunster villo in Kilbeggan to answer a summons for driving a number of cattle off lands known as the "Winchlll Farm, the prop erty of Mr. Jeeves. When the crowds assembled on Friday evening at the crossroads in the neigh borhood of Streamstown they were Joined by the Killare United Irish League band, which accompanied them as they pro ceeded. Sergeant Milchone, R. I. C, who came upon the scene, stopped the band, and intimated that he had Instructions not to allow them to play at that place. The bandsman asked why they were de nied the rights of the public road, and a debate ensued, during which It appears some of the bandsmen decided to enliven the discussion by playing a little. Eventually the sergeant directed his men to take down a number of the names, and the crowds then moved on with the band in the direction of Miss Sheerin's house to welcome her back from prison. The celebration lasted up to a late hour. Rich Lands Thrown Open. WASHINGTON. July 9.

T RAGE 15 ON AGAIN Fastest Motor-Boats to Circle Course Once More. CHAMPIONSHIP AT STAKE Contest Declared Off Because of Drifting: Buoy Will Be . Feature of - Second .Regatta Today on Course at Vancouver. To decide the motorTboat supremacy of the Pacific Coast the Seattle Spirit, Wolff II and the Pacer II will race to day over a 30-mlle course In the Colum bia River near Vancouver and the win ner will receive a 500 silver trophy cup offered by the citizens of Van couver. Last Monday these same craft raced for 30 miles all for nothing, for the drifting away of a buoy caused the race to be declared "no contest." On last Monday after 20 of tho 30 miles had been traversed by the boats, the drifting of the buoy misled the crew of the Seattle Spirit, which was far in the lead, into going more than a mile out of the way, thereby letting the other two contestants finish ahead of It. Faster Time Expected. That the contesting craft will make better time than last week is probable because in the past week the craft have had their engines taken apart and overhauled in preparation for today's contest. At the races on the Fourth of July the boats made 32 miles an hour. The Pacer II has also had a new wheel installed, which ought to give It more speed. The Seattle Spirit, which won the 10-meter class race and had the lead in the free-for-all contest when it was declared off, was designed by Charles M. Binkley, who acts as pilot. It is equipped with a four-cycle, six-cylinder Scripps engine, capable of developing 100 horsepower. In the race last Sun day for 32-foot or 10-meter boats the fast Seattle entry maintained an aver age speed of 30.48 miles an hour for 30 miles. In the first 20 miles of the free-for-all contest it went faster than 32 miles an hour. Emerson Reid is the engineer of the boat. The Pacer II is a Portland-built boat, owned by R. F. Cox and J. F. Slattery, and is equipped with a six-cylinder Leighton engine of 90 horsepower. The WolfT II was built by John Wolff in Portland and has a six-cylinder Smalley engine of powerful action. The race by these motor craft will begin at 2:30 o'clock. A Judges' boat will be sta tioned at each of the buoys today to assure the contestants that a repetition of Monday's disappointment will not be had. . Yachts Will Race. Tachtsmen will vie with the motorboat men for. honors in the entertainment line during the afternoon, for members of the Oregon Yacht Club, under tow of a powerful launch, will leave this morning for the scene of the re gatta, where they will race for the beautiful cups offered by the citizens of Vancouver and which were to have been contested for on Monday. 6ri account of no., wind, the races were postponed for a week. Races for class B boats, under 28 feet in length and carrying 500 square feet of sail, for dinghies and a free-for-all handicap wil be included inithe yacht races of the afternoon. Two cups are offered for each of these races. Max Meyer's Sparrow, Alph Clancy's Swallow, George Bannon's Zephyr, Duncan Irvine's Corsair II, James Haz- mm x ' .... f ..

James Hazlett's Celt, Francis d'Arcy's Bull Pup and Nelson Dodge's Kitten will chase each other about the course. This race will be over a mile course. A dinghey is about 12 feet long, four feet beam and carries 100 square feet of sail exclusive of splnaker. Many of the Oregon Yacht Club mem bers are said to have equipped their craft with topsails and water sails in addition to the regular mainsail, Jib and spinnaker, so keen is the rivalry among them. Canoe races and swimming races will also be held, making, altogether, a regular water carnival such as never before has been seen in Vancouver. First Day's Work Ends In Death. PITTSBURG, July 9.

A few" hours later a pile of heavy steel plates crushed his life out. He leaves a widow and three children in Europe. AUSTRALIAN SWIMMER WANTS MATCH WITH DANIELS OF NEW YORK. ! !IBII:f3llli ' !-' .! !! I i 1 I i t.-, - ' i J - - m I " Dlclt Cavlll. I ...-..... in4 1 1 ii :aA.''''""' ' ! - v, . r - ' nm MATCH HIS OBJECT Dick Cavill Wants to Swim Against Amateur Daniels. GOTHAM MAN IS SPEEDY Australian Kxpert Is Anxious to Get Him In Professional Ranks Lo cal Clubmen Much Inter ested In Visitor's Work. Portland now numbers among its vis itors the greatest swimmer Australia ever produced, and that far-off isle has sent many a star aquatic performer into the world. This man is Dick CaviH, a younger brother of Arthur Cavill, swim ming instructor of the Multnomah Ama teur Athletic Club, and himself a former Worlds champion, for the new arrival holds the premiership of the Antipodes as well as of Europe, and is now in America to make a clean sweep of all the titles. Being a professional swimmer, Dick Cavill is bent on enticing Daniels, the American amateur champion, into the professional ranks and to arrange a match race for the championship of the world, as D&niels is recognized as the best swimmer on this continent. Young Cavill gave an exhibition at the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club the other night that was a revelation to the big crowd which assembled there to see him perform. He went after the 40-yard record of Daniels of 0:19 1-5 seconds', and suceeded in cutting it 1 1-5 seconds, do ing the distance in 18 flat. His perform ance was so startling that the club mem bers hardly realized what had been done, for the clipping" of a full second off a swimming mark is regarded as a won derful feat, yet Cavill's time is perfect ly authentic and caught by expert tim ers. This aquatic marvel, during hlsj ama teur days In Australia, won 99 amateur championships, and today Is the holder of five professional championships, as well as every record in Australia from 100 yards to one mile. He holds the world's record for swimming 100 yards with a mark of 0:54 3-5 seconds, and has the distinction of being the nrst swim mer who ever made the century in less than one minute. 1 Several years ago, when he turned pro fessional" swimmer, he was selected as a member of the Board of Education . for New Zealand, and during the ewo years he held that position, he taught over 4000 school children the art of swimming. His course of instruction also included life paving for drowning persons. He says the young readily grasp the idea of swim ming, and he believes it is the duty of every parent to see that their children acquire a knowledge of aquatics. Dick Cavill will remain in Portland for several weeks, during which he will as sist his brother, Arthur, in exhibitions and instruction in swimming, and will then leave for the East, to entice Dan iels, if such a thing is possible, into the professional tank, when he hopes to es tablish himself as world's champion. AUTO ISTS ENJOY PiUfJTO TILLAMOOK Annual Official Trip Is Full of Incident to Members of Party. CONFETTI MARKS TRAIL Glorious Country Is Seen by Motor ists In .Journey Through Mult - nomah, Washington, Yamhill, Polk, Tillamook Counties. BY GEORGE L. KELLER. The annual official run of the Portland Automobile Club this year took the mo torists to Tillamook Bay. Leaving Port land Saturday morning, one week ago, and returning last Tuesday night, there was not & moment that hung heavier on the hands of the party- than the prover bial feather. "Let us live while we live." was the maxim that guided the activities of the party, and it was carried out to the letter. It waa 7:15 o'clock Saturday morning when the first of the long line of ma chines started out. W. J. Clemens, vice president of the Automobile Club, headed the party as pacemaker and pathfinder, though by traveling the route half a dozen times before, Mr. Clemens had al ready found the path. This is notably true of July 4, one year ago, when with a party of 14 he made the trip. At that time it rained while they were at Tilla mook Bay and it was a week or more be fore there was any chance to get out. Not so this time, however, as the weather was superb during the whole of the four days consumed on the trip. Mrs.' Clemens sat beside her husband in the machine and scattered confetti at each turn of the road for the benefit of those behind. The little red. blue and white pieces of paper served their purpose in more than one instance. Mr. Clemens kept well in advance of the machines, despite the charge, hu morously made, that he did not. ,This was evidenced by his record-breaking trip coming back. Tillamook Bay is on an almost direct line west of Portland. When the rail road reaches there, it will be about 80 miles distant. By the Sheridan road, the one traveled by the autolsts, it is practically 110 miles. To reach Tillamook by this route, Multnomah, Washington, Yamhill. Polk and Tillamook counties are traversed. The entire breadth of Yam hill and Tillamook must be traveled. Only about 10 miles of the trip or less Is through Polk County. The worst roads were found in Washington County, taking into consideration natural conditions. As a matter of fact, the roads In Tillamook County, were the worst, but there natu ral conditions are worse thfji In any of the other counties. A great deal of good work is being done on them. There were only two accidents of con sequence on the trip down. Only a few miles out of Portland a spring was broken in Captain B. F. Hackett's ma chine. Another was brought out from the city and the trip continued with only the loss of slightly over one hour.- Thomas West stripped the gear of his car in Til lamook County while crossing an impro vised bridge over the Bear River. Tho members of his party were transferred to other cars and the trip was continued. When Tillamook was reached. West's machine was sent for and towed in. B. E. Fiske, whose son, Norman, drove his car, sustained a slight accident about the same spot. It was of little consequence, however, and the trip was continued. As to the country passed through, there could be none more beautifully pictur esque. Most notable of all. to my mind, was that through Yamhill County be yond McMinnvllle. Here the iandacape is rolling and high, with the eternal blue hills of Oregon in the distance, miles and miles away. In no other part of the country is there such greenness. Every where it is green and of a different shade, each blending into the other, with a smoothness and uniformity that pleases the eye beyond the powers of descrip tion. The roads are in excellent condi tion. Racing along the smooth high ways, with the vista ever changing, one is deeply Impressed. There was more of an impression of awe as the automoblllst carefully thread ed' his way through the conquered wilds of Tillamook County. This commenced when the Grand Ronde Valley was reached in Polk County. Hills began aris ing on every side. Nearly all of the way the wildnes of the scene was in tensified by the devastation done by for est fires. The great, straight, gaunt trunks of trees stood on the sides of the Coast Range, stripped of all branches. Where there are hills there are also valleys, and what remarkable valleys they are in this instance! Hardly a mile was passed that a little cottage was not espied nestling among the- trees. Here and there water came seeping down the mountain side. In these valleys dairy ing is the principal, in fact about the only, pursuit. The grass is luxuriant. and I am told it remains so far into the Winter. This accounts for the wide fame of Tillamook cheese, an Industry that Is growing there to large proportions. Last year, I was told, the total cheese output amounted to J560.000. Above all else, however, I was Im pressed with the cordiality with which we were everywhere received. Farmers along the road stopped their labors, mopped heated brows, and with smiling countenances waved their wide-brimmed straw hats with cordial greeting. Chil dren stopped their games and after the manner of mankind, wondered who the speeding travelers were, where they were bound and so forth. They waved their tiny hands and laughed as we passed. Men turned their teams aside to let us pass and saluted as they did so. In only a very few Instances was there any dem onstration of an unfriendly spirit. ' A resume of the trip would be incom plete without a mention of the reception at McMinnvllle. As we rolled into the "Walnut City," as they are pleased to term their town. Sheriff Henderson hailed the leaders and placed them under ar rest for speeding. He then opened court on his own hook and sentenced the en tire party to be the guests of the Com mercial Club and the Civic Improvement Association, the latter a woman's organ ization, for half an hour. And such a half hour it was! The good women of McMinnvllle kept bringing on their sand wiches and coffee while down on the street men placed basket filled with Yamhill prize cherries and English wal nuts in each car. Everybody went away with cries of "Three cheers for McMinn vllle." So complete were the arrangements made by the Bay Ocean people that it was Impossible for anyone wearing a linen duster and a motoring cap to spend a dime. Even the toll was paid at the gateway Into Tillamook County. At Dolph, where the tollgate is located, luncheon was served In a picturesque lit tle Inn on the hillside. It was 6:30 o'clock when the lead machine stopped Just outside Tillamook City and all journeyed Into town in a long line. There were 20 cars in the procession and with tooting horns the march was made into the metropolis 1 of the vast territory known as Tilla mook Bay and County. Tillamook is a. town, of about 1500 prosperous, thrifty souls.. We were received by Judge Webster Holmes, president of the Com mercial Club.. It was 7 o'clock when all sat down to a splendid banquet tendered by the Commercial Club. At the banquet Judge Holmes delivered a short ad dress of welcome and was roundly-applauded. All during the stay ha showed marked solicitude for the wel fare of the Portlanders and always will be remembered by them. Owing to one of the launches run ning between Bayocean and Tillamook breaking down, it was after 9 o'clock when the final stage of the Journey to the . new resort was commenced. The run to Bayoecan is seven miles and it was after 10 o'clock when the ultimate destination was reached. At Bayocean. T. Irving Potter, son ol T. B. Potter, took charge of the party and was thereafter the arbiter of its activities, which was one of the for tunate things of the trip. Mr. Potter showed himself equal to the occasion and the programme was full from then until the return trip was begun Tues day morning. - Bayocean is situated on a peninsula three miles long and varying In width from one mile to 200 yards. It is an ideal spot for a Summer resort, with the clear, -still -waters of" "the Bay on one side and the roaring surf of the Pacific on the other. The beach is ideal, devoid almost entirely of rocks, smooth and long. Above it part of the way is a high promontory covered with trees and grass, which has been laid out as sites for homes. On the highest point the foundation is already start ed for a hotel larger than the Port land. The autolsts were much inter ested with the progress already made. All over the peninsula the tracks for a little steam Construction railroad have been laid; rock Js being crushed to pave -the streets and lay granitoid sidewalks; an electric light and water system are already in; the' channel Is being dredged and a spot on the bay side, covering 23 acres, is being filled in for an amusement park. A little tent city had been arranged for the accommodation 'of the visitors. They were little palaces in themselves. E. Henry Wemme, late' president of the Automobile Club, and pioneer mo torist of the Northwest, who made a big part of his money, and a pretty big pile at that, manufacturing tents, slept in one at Bayocean for the first time in his life. "I guess I have made a million tents," said Mr. Wemme, "but this is the first time I ever-slept In one." Monday, July Fourth, was the big day. In the morning there was surf bathing that is after a trip had been V, made to the caves under Cape Mears starting at 4:30 o'clock in the 'morning. Only about eight out of 102 4n the party mustered up the bravery to arise at that hour, however. Interest in the outcome of the Jeffries-Johnson fight, which was serious ly regarded then, was at fever heat throughout the afternoon. As yet there are no wire communications with Bay ocean and the only means of finding out the result of. the fight was by ar rangement with the telephone offi cials in Bay City, Just across' the bay. When the news of Johnson's victory was received there the great American flag on the beach In front of the town was placed at half-mast, the agreed signal. Gloom and sorrow, in. keep ing with the position of the flag imme diately prevailed in Bayocean. At night there was music, dancing and fireworks without limit. ." The entire population of the bay towns had emptied Into Bayocean for the day and they watched the pyrotechnic display until- they were tired. Taking it' for all in all. it "was great trip and one that will remain 'long in the memories of those participating in it. The return was. without incident. All but two of the motorists reached Portland Tuesday night. L. E. Crowe and E.-Henry Wemme took two days for the' return. Mr." Crowe was taken ill on his arrival in Tillamook Saturday night and was not able to go to Bay Ocean at all. To make the journey easy for him longer time was taken returning. George M. Hylarid was the other straggler. Mr. Hyland returned to Tillamook to find his machine taken down by his chauffeur, who had been using it for livery purposes during his absence. He started late' Tuesday after noon and spent the night at McMlnitville. Fandom at Random ONCE MORE the Beaver brigade slumped at a time when good base ball would have given them the lead. After putting it over Vernon last week the team seems to be loafing. ' . Three games have been tossed away out of the last five played, and under such conditions Manager McCredie should "read the riot act," if not issue a few "tin cans." Gus Fisher' was the demon hitter yesterday and more than made up for his bad peg by clouting out three blngles. If the other erratic players had done half as well the Beavers might have had several more runs. The Los Angeles club is winning so regularly of late that many of the bug3 are commencing to figure the Angelic herd as a dangerous proposition. The Dillon crowd is some ball team, and right now the pitchers are working good. m About the only enlivening fielding feature of yesterday's game was Olson's great stop of Lindsay's corking smash toward left field in the seventh, when Ole recovered nicely and tossed the Vernonlte out at first. Jesse Garrett pitched nice ball from the third inning to the end of the game. If he had started "it might have been" a Portland victory, for Vernon landed but one run off the delivery of the Texan. "It might have been." ' Walter Nagle pitched another two hit game yesterday. Any time the elongated one goes against that' Seal crowd he seems to be a cinch .bet, for he has "the Jinks" of that club in the palm of his hand. Nagle has shut San Francisco out oftener than any other pitcher. ... "Spider" Baum, the Sacramento star pitcher, enjoyed a good day yesterday, and succeeded in scoring a victory over the Oaks. Baum shut Oakland out-until the final inning, when he eased up, as he had the game won., The Philadelphia Athletics look Ilka a cinch bet as the champion club of the American League thisi season, for they now have a lead of nearly 100 points, and do not show any startling signs of slumping. : Here is one that hits the mark:. Hugh E. Keough (Hek). of the Chicago Tribune, commenting on the - army of cor respondents in Reno . to report the fight, facetiously remarks: "It takes three classes of the fourth estate reserves to cover ade quately any affair of the dimensions of this. There are highbrows, who don't know, but who can put it away in beautiful language; the experts, who know, but can't "tell It. and the middle distance gazlmbos who prac tice sr lf-eft acement, work like blazes, and wonder if the Job will be there when they get back." ' Jeffries says 'he may fight Johnson again. Bob Fltzslmmons and Jim Cor bett both fought JefT twice, so the big fellow ought to examine the dope sheet unless he can get Billy Delaney to handle him.
