Further Information may be ob

gramme. Tne work or making awards at the
X.cwis and Clark livestock show attracted
fully 15,000 people yesterday. The great
granastana was well filled by noon and at
i o clock tncre were no vacant scats.
Keen Interest was displayed by the thou
sands In the operations of the judges.
;t&st night there was much enthusiasm
liIMtors who have attended the various
livestock exhibitions of the past decade
dcolaro they have never before met with
Mich hoavy attendance or such general
interest In fine stook.
Much headway was made by the judges
on horses and cattle during the day. The
jury on colts also got their work well fin
der way. Colors were placed on several
hundred animals before night, and the
awards appeared to bring universal satis
faction. Every day of this week and
probably Monday of next will be required
by the Judges in which to complete their
labors.
The comparative merits of competitive
stock are Judged in the big show-ring or
arena, directly under the grandstand.
Animals are led into this enclosure by
seotions according to the class and sec
tion to which they belong. The standard
is so generally high that the prize-winners
represent the very finest possible type of
their kind. In many Instances difficulty
was encountered in deciding the animal
most entitled to first place.
Oregon breeders are well represented
among the winners of prizes. In nearly
overy class and section brought before the
' Judges yesterday Oregon stock carried
away a winning color. Washington and
California .w.ere also woll represented in
the prise winnings.
The Judging of Shorthorns attracted the
greatest attention. This class was prac
tically completed and the returns loom up
with Oregon breeders well to the fore.
The showing in Shorthorns is generally
pronounced the greatest of any livestock
exhibition ever held in America. Besides
the cash prizes offered by the Exposition,
a special list of prizes on Shorthorns is
posted by the American Shorthorn
Breeders Association.
The Judges will continue their work this
morning, beginning promptly at 30 o'clock
and ending at 5:30 P. M. The various
classes and sections of horses, cattle and
colts will. occupy the day.

rector of exhibits, at the request of the
exhibitors, called tho meeting to order.
Inasmuch as Mr. Hardt has worked so

Uiuslnstlc Commemoration
by Itnlo-Amcrlcans.
Nearly the whole Italian population of
.Portland turned out at the Lewis and
CIark Exposition yesterday to celebrate
Italian day. and also to commemorate the
thirty-fifth anniversary of the entry of tho
Italian troops Into Bome. From all the
buildings hung tho red, white and green
flags of Italy, and from nearly every
breast fluttered the national colors, held
together by the talons of a golden eagle.
The celebration began at 10 A. M. with
a procession to the Auditorium, where the
exercises were held. The Interior of the
building was" decorated with Italian flags
and standards. The Administration Band
played Italian anthems, to the delight of
the audience, which waa bubbling over
wnn enthusiasm.
C. F. Candianl presided as chairman
Colonel Henry E. Dosch, director of ex
hibits, delivered the address of welcome
on behalf of the Exposition. He com
plimented Peter A. B. Rossi. Italian Com
mlsaloner to the Exposition, and said nice
minus aoout the Italian exhibit.
"Italy is the only foreign country," said
colonel Dosch. "which has offlcially rec
ognlzed the Lewis and Clark exposition by
sending representatives herd. The visit
of the Umbrla here was for that purpose,
and the Exposition greatly appreciates the
courtesy. Italy has the largest exhibit
of any foreign country, and its citizens
have taken an active part in -the Fair
from its very inception."
Commissioner Bossfa address jrreatlv
pleased the Italians. He talked of. Italy
una oi now ioyai tne Italians were to
their home country. Consul Candianl also
made an Interesting address.
During the noon hour' the Italian com
missioners gave the Italian executive
committee and the Exposition officials an
elaborate luncheon in the Little Hungary
restaurant.
The 'heaviest attendance of the Italians
was at night. A splendia concert, entirely
HI
by local talent, was given In the Audi
torium, which was crowded. Music was
furnished by the Administration Band.
Sig. De Caprio, the director, and members
of his band are Italians, and they played
with much spirit and warmth.
Consul Candianl again made a brief ad
dress. Among the many musical numbers
a vocal solo by MIs3 Harwas was particu
larly good. A duet by Miss Harwas- and
A. F. Glanelll was another excellent num
ber. Miss Covach also made a hit with
the audience by her singing.
Following the concert, whloh ended at
about 8:c0 o'clock, the Italians adjourned
In a body to the bandstand, where Ellery's
Band was playing. At 9:30 o'clock they
were treated to a pyrotechnic display,
which had been arranged for their
especial, benefit. The fireworks cost about
$700, about one-third of which was pro
vided by a subscription among the Ital
ians. Many beautiful set pieces wore dis
played, which represented Antique Rome,
such as the Pantheon, the Coliseum and
the Forum. Portraits of Victor Emanuel
and Garibaldi were also shown in tho
fireworks.
PLANNING FOB. DECORATIONS
Board of Trade and Business Houses
Prepare Displays.
"We'll be there at the Fair. Portland
day," is the phrase which will appear on
placards In the windows of the Board of
Trade office In the Chamber of Commerce
building Monday mornlnsr. and which Act
ing Secretary J. B. Laber suggests should
find liberal use in windows throughout
.Portland during the Intervening time
until Portland day at the Exposition, Sat
urday or next week.
Monday morning the Board of Trade
will also begin decorating with bunting of
tne exposition colors, and efforts will be
put forth to arouse enthusiasm and
lively competition among merchants Ken
crally, as well as residents, to make Port
land more attractive than ever before to
K Exposition visitors, since large numbers
will be entertained from local territory,
many of whom have not before visited
the exhibit palaces of tho Dream Citv.
The spirit .of Portland pride is aroused
and there is reason to expect that the
street decorations of the week will sur
pass anything- previously attempted. Just
as tne aay is expected to far exceed In
attendance any other day of the entire
Exposition.
The motto Mr. Laber has sugsrested
will probably become popular with print
ers ana sign-writers of the big mercantile
houses, and It is also probable that ar-
rangemnts will be made to spread the
work for the most notable occasion of the
year by displaying thousands of the sitm
along all the main traveled streets and
along streetcar lines.
For Agricultural Dnys.
Plans are rapidly-being formulated for
the" celebration of Agricultural days at
tne Lewis and Clark Exposition, Septem
ber 28 and 29. The features of the Ami
cultural days will be grand parade and
the distribution of fruit and gifts. Several
thousand dollars worth of premiums and
prizes will be awarded to visitors, and at
least five carloads of fresh fruit will be
distributed during the two days. There
w be two parades, one on the forenoon
of September 28, and the other on the
nlsht of September 29.
Visitors to the Falke.
Visitors will be received on board th
German cruiser Falke today between the
hours of 12:30 and 2 and 5:30 and 7PM
Tho vessel Is a novelty in many respects,

Admissions at the Lewis and Clark 1
Exposition, yesterday were 23.430. I
Portland day at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition will be Saturday. September
SO. This has been finally and positively
settled, the reasons for which are given
in a letter from President Goode. wnich
follows:
PORTLAND. Sept. 20. When the sched
ule of events for .the Exposition waa
arranged last Sprier?, due consideration was
clven to the fact that Saturday 1b the best
flay of the week for celebrations of all
kind, and particularly for city days. In
following out this Idea, Saturday. June 10,
was given to Astoria; Saturday, June 24.
to Seattle. Saturday. July 1, to Tacoma:
Saturday, July 22, to Butte: Saturday. July
20. to Los AngeleaTSaturday, August 5. to
sacramento: Saturday. August 12. to S&n
Francisco; Saturday, August 20, to Salt Lake
Wty; baturday. September 0. to the State of
California, and Saturday, September 16, to
rortiana. In fixing Portland day, the aim
was to get as near as practicable to tha
closing of the Exposition, and still Veep aa
close as circumstances would permit to the
period of good weather. As what Is re
garded aa the equinox, with its attendant
rains, cornea on September 21, It was
naturally desirable that Portland dar should
"be on the Saturday preceding this period '
or on a later faaturday. In this way Septem
ber' 10 was the first chosen. The reason
of the subsequent change to September 30
will be stated further on.
Why Saturday Was Chosen.
In the selection of Saturday for Portland
day, the gulldlng facts were the following:
First Saturday Is. to a large extent, a hr-.
holiday in Portland, and more pteuie aro -.
at leisure than on any other jlky of the
week.
Second All banks close at Eton on Satur
days, and the principal w Resale houses
close from noon on to 3 P. - it.
Third The public and private schools are
closed all day on Saturday.
Fourth Manufacturers favored Saturday as
being most satisfactory to their. emplojMJ
upon whom the Exposition will largely d
pend for patronage on Portland day.
Fifth Nearly all offices, such as Insurance,
lawyers, real estate, etc., close .early on
Saturday afternoons.
Sixth The general offices of the railroad?
close early on Saturday afternoora.
Seventh Numbers of traveling men. em
ployed by buslneoa houses, coras to Port
land on Saturday to spend Sunday with their
families. '
Elghth-There la always a conslderabtu
travel from near-by points Into- Portland
on Saturday.
Ninth Portland day on a Saturday wouii
cause less dl.-turbance to the working forces
ot the town than any other day would.
for the reason that employes would have
the following Sunday for rest and be ready
to take up their work again on Monday
morning.
In The Oregonlan of April 20. last. lt was
announced that Portland day would bo Sep
tember 16. and that that day would fall
on a Saturday. Though thla fact has been
known to the public and exploited by the
Exposition for Ave solid months not a slnsle
objection to Saturday celebration has been
made until within the past two weeks. Not
a word was said to any official of the Ex
position to indicate that any interest In
the City of Portland was dissatisfied with
the day selected.
The second edition ot the Special Events
Catalogue waa sent to press on July 15. over
two months ago, and It contained the an
nouncement previously given tho newspapers
that Portland day had been changed from
Saturday, September 16, to Saturday. Sep
tember 30. After the copy for this edition
tad been prepared, and before It had been
delivered to the printer. It flvos learned
that Saturday. September 30. would be Jewish
New Tear, a holiday when Jewish manufac
turers, merchants and professional men are
compelled to cloeo their factories, stores and
offices. Not only do they close their stores,
but their employee of all classes and grades
are exempt from employment on that day.
It seemed to the Exposition management
that as this holiday released from their
usual vocations several thousand people. It
would be good business policy to change
Portland day to September 30, and to attract
to the Exposition grounds the large number
of people who would be taking a holiday.
The reasons that governed the selection of
September 16 aa Portland day In the first
Instance, applied with equal force to Sep
tember 30. and with the additional fact that
September 30 la a holiday for thousands o
persons, there was no question but that the
day selected waa the best one for the Ex
position. Impossible to Change.
In the selection of September 30 as Port
land day. we have made the best possible
arrangement for the Exposition and for alt
Interests concerned. They who are now
objecting to a Saturday for Portland, day
should bear In mind that a Saturday has been
decided upon for Ave months and that no
complaint was made until within two weeks.
They who complain of September 30 as the
particular Saturday should remember that the
announcement therefor waa made on July
15, and that no objection was made until
within the past tro weeks. If the day
chosen was not satisfactory there was plenty
of time for the filing of objections and we
could have given consideration to them. The
subject baa -been formally before our exe
cutive committee and board of directors for
consideration and both of theso bodies have
acquiesced in the adoption of September 30
as" Portland day. It Is now no time for fault
finding, as the day has been definitely fixed
for Saturday. September 30, and all arrange
ments have been made, the souvenir tickets
printed, etc, and we could not change, even
If we desired to. witnout endangering tno
success of the day. The co-oyeVatlon and
patronage of every resident and interest ot
the clttc are needed to make Portland day
the great day of tne Exposition, and X
"have sufficient confidence In the loyalty and
patriotism of the people of Portland to say
that we shall have that co-operation and patron
age and that our business houses will uni
formly close in order to permit their pro
prietors and employes to visit the Exposition.
The test of publlcBplrit and loyalty in Port
land this year will b the aupport given the
Exposition oa Portland day.
100,000 Admissions Wanted.
We want 100.000 admissions on ' that dar.
an dlf Portland turns out and enthuses aa
It should, we will get the admissions and
Portland day will be the crowning event, the
record-breaker of the Exposition. The number
of admissions, that the Exposition will have
oa Portland day ,wlll bo heralded all over
the world, and will, without doubt, prove
an effective and enduring advertisement of
the .geniiM and enterprise of Oregon and
PortlHEd. . H. W. GOODE.
