THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, MAKUU y, lyg. fli JOINS JOCKEY CLUB Multnomah Fair Association Enters Fold. ;RACE MEETING IN AUGUST Annua! Races at Irvington Assured Attempt to Secure Dates In July Foiled by - Seattle's Supe rior Claims. The Multnomah Fair Association of. Portland is now a full-fledged membei of the Pacific -Coast Jockey Club, and from now on." with anything like luck, Portland will nave a yearly race meet that will be worth while. The Portland Racing Association was taken into the Pacific Coast fold at a meeting held in Ban Francisco on Monday and. while President R. A. Diamond did not secure the racing dates he would have liked, those allowed are acceptable. They are August 8 to 2a It was no more than to be expected that Seattle, whose race meeting last year was a success, locally if not from the liorsemen's standpoint, would have the call when it came to the choice of dates. Mr. Diamond would have liked to get the race date in July. Seattle would have liked to unload upon Port land dates early in June, but Mr. Dia mond was on hand to checkmate this move on the part of A. T. Van De "Vanter. "To have given Portland the July dates it wanted would have been the means of dividing the Seattle race meet, which could hardly be expected, when It is con sidered that the coming race meet in Portland is a sort of experiment, while at Seattle it has been proven that a long meeting can and does pay. Good Meet Is Assured. "While it is true that Mr. Diamond went to the San Francisco meeting hoping to get the Portland dates for July, it goes without saying that the association will , accept the August dates given It. Mr. Diamond's wish to have the July dates Is two-fold, first because of the fair weather which usually prevails during the mid Summer month and, second, because the exodus of Portland society does not take place until August. A July meeting would have assured a better attendance, but it is expected that when it becomes known that between 500 and 600 of the best horses racing on the Pacific Coast will be stabled at the Irvington track during the meeting. Summer ,. vacations wIlL.be postponed two weeks In order to attend the races. The dates, August 8 to 20, aside from the fact that a great number of the people go to the seaside, could not have been better chosen. It may conflict a bit with baseball, but who will go to a baseball game when the bangtails are romping over the turf? Men Who Revived Racing. Now that ' the Multnomah Fair Asso ciation is a member of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, It might be worth while to throw a few bouquets to those men who have 'made the thing possible, R. A. Dia mond. Lewis H. Adams and Sanford Hirsch and others. When these gentle men took hold of the racing problem they were met at every turn with. "You can't make it go." But they did make it go. The brief meeting held last Fall was a success, but the croakers' were not silenced. They contended that the' racing game in Portland had received a -death Slow'5 at the JbaCds of the gamblers' who "had been fostering It anc no matter what was done or who was back of it, it could not be revived and placed on a sound financial basis. But these men did revive Interest and, what Is more, they established a financial standing among the horsemen that has traveled, not only on the Coast, but wherever rac ing has been held this "Winter. For perhaps the first time In the history of the Irvington track the purses were paid after each race, a thing so surprising to the horsemen that they never tired of talking about it. Some of the harness men wno had raced at Irvington several years before and had never received the purses they had won, thought the present man agement "easy" and tried to collect. The officials of the association felt sure of becoming a member of the Jockey Club, and during the Winter months they kept a force of men at work at the track. The track near the inside rail was ploughed up last Fall and, when the proper time comes, it will be worked until the whole track becomes as fast as any In the Northwest It Is also the Inten tion of the association to cut away the hill at the first turn. About 200 stables will be added to the present number and the sheds for the livestock show, which will follow the Salem Fair, will also be thoroughly overhauled.

Young Corbett's apparent carelessness regard ing his coming battle - with Jimmy Brltt is causing his- admirers some un easiness. His present intention is to settle down to training on Tuesday next. This will allow him but 15 days In which to prepare himself for what is conceded to be a hard battle. - It was thought the lesson he learned when he fought Hanlon the first timo would make him cautious, but it did not have a lasting effect. If Hanlon had experienced men behind him that night the general opinion is that hf would have won, as he caught his op ponent entirely out of form. When Corbett fought McGovern here he was 11 pounds over weight five days before the contest, and was making no effort to get down to the required figures.- He was finally Induced to take a serious view cf the situation, and weighed in safely at the appointed time. There Is a suspicion that Corbett holds Britt lightly, and that he thinks a little training will carry him through safely. This' confidence Is likely to prove his undoing some day when he Is caught napping by some strong, ambitious youngster. DALLAS WINS A FAST GAME.

My trainer, while out on the road, slipped on an Oregon City boiled union and sprained his neck, but he is rounding to In fine shape. Seriously, however, I box daily with Jerry Rustln and Mike McGee, two local boys, and I have plenty of work.

They will be Tommy Tracey, Jack Hill and Bob Thorn, and Thorn Is training me. The people here are taking great Interest In the coming battle and they are look ing for Krant money.

Manager Fisher sent Manager Har hls a. telegram extending him the privi lege of negotiation with the clever out fielder. Before siting up Hildebrand the Tacoma manager wanted to see if Lynch was going to report. Lynch reported, so he had no particular use for Hildebrand.

Gray son, are considered the two strongest as pirants for Sheriff, while for County Clerk George B. Lamb, the present County School Superintendent, has declared him self a candidate, and as he Is one of the most popular young men In the county; his chances are good to land the nomina tion. Chester Holden, G. B. Alley, Carl Haberlock and H. V. Alley have also been mentioned as candidates, and there may be 'more ajralrante' XTr these offices before the convention meets. ' Very little is said about nominees for the other offices, with the exception of As sessor A. M. Hare, who will probably be renominated.

United States Senator Fulton, waiting to a friend in this city, expresses the be lief that Congress will not. revise "the tariff after the Presidential election. Senator Fulton says our revenues at present are jiot any too great to meet expenses, and he believes the Govern ment will require all the funds which the present tariff schedule will net. He points out a general desire for river and harbor improvements, the isthmian canal, a service pension bill and Government aid for roads, which will necessitate ex penditure of many hundreds of millions. "True, the tariff schedule will be re adjusted," the Senator says, "but I am not In favor of readjustment that looks to any considerable decrease, or places many articles on the free list." Speaking of the proposal to put coal on the free list again, the Senator says such action on the part of Congress would lead to a demand for free admission of many other articles. In this, respect he says: "Free coal would be a great advantage to Oregon, but you must bear in mind we cannot expect to get free coal with out consenting to the admission of other things duty free. For instance, lumber will certainly be put on the free list If coal shall be, and many localities are de manding free admission of wheat from Canada. I do not think Congress will revise the tariff after the Presidential election." SECOND GREATEST IN COUNTRY Immense Power Will Be Developed From Shoshone Falls. SALT LAKE. March 8.
