LETTER - CARRIERS' OLD HORSE'S GREAT RAGE KITTITAS RANGER'S VICTORY OVER 3IAPLEMON AT EVERETT. Portland Tnrlmcn Pleased at Per- Xormancc of lG-Year-Old Trials at Irvinton. The victory of Kittitas Ranger over Maplemon at Everett Saturday was, to Portland horsemen, like a letter from home. Kittitas has always been a favor ite in Portland, and wnllo he was owned by Frazier & McLean he made gpod time on tho track and he warmed up Vande vanters Deceiver In many a race. Ho Is now in his 16th year but he still shows the same powers of endurance that he evinced Ip his memorable race with Alta Norte, hut -ho Is not equal to his record of 3:J14. Kittitas, by tho way ha3 a record like STAR," OWNED BY H, PEASE, PORTLAND, OR. Star,. H. Pease's heavy-weight pointer, 13 a faithful worker in the field, and has also made a good showing on the bench, having won second open. 1000; first open. 1301, and first open and second limit. 1002. at local shows. Mr. Pease is well "satisfied with his faithful dog-, havia? handled him entirely alone. It was always his desire when training his dog never to allow him to retrieve or mouth a bird, and ho thinks he has been successful In this. Mr. Pease and his partner .. only lost. fUe birds out of 1S9 last season, working hla dog In this manner. He will road and stand a cripple or dead bird the same as a live one. On a trip last Summer, 13 miles out on the Scholia Ferry road. Mr. Peaso found three covlcs of English partridges with his dog, and he thinks they are the coming birds for docs to work on, as they always confine themseUes to tho open, aa mater how many times flushed; they lie close, and when flushed fly swiftly, but usually drop again within a few hundred yards. Unless the dosr Is a careful worker he will very often run over the birds, after once being flushed. Mr. Pease has several pictures of his dog while working on these birds. He Is a. careful worker, good, ranger, speedy and stanch, and will alwaja obey his master at command with whistle and motion cf tho band. In condition he weighs 57 pounds. many a great singer. He began life of poor but honest parents, as a truck horse, and he gave his first evidence of speed when he was hitched to another draught .animal In the town of Yakima. One day the team ran 'away, and Kittitas put many a. thoroughbred to shame. A horseman saw the run, recognized the blood and purchased the horse. And so Kittitas be came a racer. Irvlngton track offered a great deal of sport during the week. The long-postponed race between Bonner N. R. and Phil N. took place on Friday, and Bon ner won out The time given was 2:2S, with an outside start and Simpson in tho sulky. Tom Anton was behind Phil N. Of course there are a lot of claims, and ono of them Is that If Bonner had been at tho pole and the track had been good he would have cleared 2:20. There was no quarrel about the record, however, as Simpson is the owner of the two horses and ho had no complaint to make against either of them. Simpson also worked Alta Norte and his California born and bred green pacer, Benton Boy. This racer has tried to beat Alta Norte, Girls' favorite, and It did put the descendant of Altamont to her feet H. H. Helman worked some green horses that showed up well, and bettors had better Inspect them closely before they invest at the Fall meeting. Charlie Lohmlre made a dash into the park with a green pacer by Bill Frazier, BAND and Crls Simpson turned after him with Tom Benton. At last accounts SlmpEon had not caught up with the colt Ever dlng's Greeting showed up well, and Sprlngsteln proved to be as good as ever on the track.

TO SEND CREWS NORTH PORTLAND ROWING CLUB PLANS FOR LAKE NELSON REGATTAS. Senior Oarsmen Ave Agrain at WorX and In Fine Form-Jnnior Try-Ont to Be Held. The past week has shown great activity, at the Portland Rowing Club. Crews ar forming, and are at their dally practice, Pleasure boats are in great demand, and canoes in constant use. The regatta at Nejson is now the ao sorting topic Last year's senior ere Is again at work, and is showing splendldi form. Its swing Is perfect, and all that Is now required 13 to improve the water raanshlp. Lamberson requires the most coaching, as he has been at bow so lonjj that he has lost some of his old-tlm form. He 13 now at "3," where he can b watched, and where he will have nothing to do hnt "saw wood." Bow Is probably the most difficult po sition In the boat, as besides rowing and watching his crew the man at this po eltion must be constantly turning around and watching the course ahead. This naturally throws hjm out of, form, and It requires the greatest effort to keep la any kind of shape. Every effort will be made, to coach thl crew properly, as this is no doubt th most Important regatta the club has eve sent representatives to. Last year th Portland crews won both senior and Junior races, with valuable cups as prizes, and this year the Britishers will leave nO stone unturned to get back the trophies, which must be won three times to beoom permanent property of any club, Fos this- reason the Portland Club has deter mined to send their best material to Nel son. The members of the senior crew ara In their prime, and no dotibt will break their coast record of last year. The Junior crew Is now worrying tha racing committee, and It has been de cided to give all candidates a fair show at representing the club in the. north. Tha crew will be picked from the four best men rowing, regardless of what crew they may be in, and a new crew .made of these four. This will give all a try at the position and, insure the club the best representation in the north. A crew thus picked will be almost sure winners. The club is receiving new members al most dally, and this year will no doubt see a larger membership than ever before. The club can take care of all who may Join, as the boats and material are in better shape than ever before. The large room on the second floor has been remodeled, a soft green background having been provided for hanging pic tures of crows and rowing scenes. This has Improved the room greatly, and added much to the interest of the clubhouse. The toboggan slide will soon be put In place. S to well and Sam Luders will soon commence training there every evening. This oroves one of the best attraction at the clubhouse, and is enjoyed by large numbers. Jim Mackle has formed a crew for a try at the Nelson trip. He will row bow, Houghton, 2; King, a new man, 3, and Gloss, stroke. George Luders Is also getting up a crew. He has decided that he can do better work on the starboard side, so will row at No. 2. His crew Is made up, except No. 3, and as he has a man In view- for this place, he no doubt will have his crew on the river this week. Patton Is doing his usual good work In the single, and with his new boat this year will be heard from "way up in front. ' Gloss is also out occasionally, and has not commenced active training, but will soon be on the river, and will no dpubt show his old-time speed. From the above It will be seen that the most prosperous season Portland has seen in aquatics may said to be opened. SEATTLE TEAM CONFIDENT. Washington Athletes Confident of Defeating; Oregon Friday. SEATTLE, Wash., May H. The Washington-Oregon field meet, which occurs on the University campus next Friday after noon, is arousing considerable Interest among athletic cranks In this city. The University of Washington has an excep tionally strong team this year, while the Oregon aggregation la weakened by the absence of a number of old-time point winners. The Washington students, tak ing everything into consideration, have every reason to believe that they will wia from their Webfoot rivals, and some ven ture the opinion that tho visitors will no score mpre than oe-thlrd of the 122 points. Washington has never yet defeated Ore gon in any kind of an athletic contest, hut the "Varsity students believe that their turn Is coming, and that the Eugene team will suffer an overwhelming defeat. Joe Pearson and Chestnut will run th& short sprints for U. of W., and ought to win from Pajne and Redmond, who are not considered fast In any distance below the 440-yard dash. Huntoon and Robert Pearson wljl run the middle distances, but will meet a formidable rival In Payne, who runs the half-mile In record-breaking time. Twitchell. Boetzkes and HUl are Washington's best distance men, all hav ing records better than five minutes. Duffy and Cosgrove are booked to run tha hurdles, and are doing their practice trials in good form. In the field events Washington ought to make a clean sweep, as the try-out rec ords are most encouraging. The relay race Is another event which Washington Is sure of winning. Chestnut, Huntoon. R. Pearson and J. Pearson will wear the blue nd gold In this event. All in all. Washington ought to take first place In everything except the hurdles and middle distances.
