Interest continues unabated in the Lewis and Clark stock exhibition and yesterday dcvoloped another surprlso in the matter of attendance. There wore more people at the show during the day than on Wednes day, the total attendance being: estimated at 17,000. Street-cars and boats were filled en every trip leading toward the show grounds. People loitor for hours in barns admir ing tbe magnlflclent dumb creatures who leek smart enough to speak. They do not come for a "brief space llkettbe crowds at a pantomime. They are there all day. The trail leading to the show was a living thread of human beings through all of yesterday and they were all going one direction up to the hour for closing or for supper. Boats filled to their capacity transported people, too indolent or too busy to walk, from the Fair to the stock shew but the same boats returned empty until well along toward evening. Every class and condition of persons were rep resented in the gathering. Progress "With Awards. Considerable progress was made in the making of awards. Fewer animals, how ever, wore judged than upon the previous iay, for a number of herds were brought out for inspection and it takes more time to complete this work. "While the Judges were at work their movements were fol lowed with the keenest interest by a crowded grandstand. The placing of rib bons on some fine animal would occasion ally bring forth a lively round of applause. Stockmen continue enthusiastic ov,er the exhibition, declaring" it surpasses their fondest expectations. Veterans of the various exhibitions of the past decade say it compares well with the greatest shows of the country and is far ahead of any stock exhibition ever held in the WosL The success of the show is bring ing In stockmen on every train who would not have troubled themselves to visit a mediocre affair. Will Continue Making: Awards. The various judges will continue their work today. Much of today's awarding in cattle will be In herds. Champions and grand champions will be selected in the various breods of horses. Accordingly more than usual interest centers in the proceedings. The Judges will commence their work this morning at 10 o'clock and continue with It through the day. with a briof interval for luncheon. As on the first day of the judging, Ore gon ,zncn shared conspicuously in the list of the prizewinners yesterday.

THERE was not such a crowd yester day to see the finale of the cattle Judging. But the grou of families dealt with were full of interest. The fam ily likenesses came out very strongly, and also In some cases a family was penal ized by some weak member. After tho judging was concluded, so far as the Shorthorns waS concerned, one of the judges made a pleasant little speech of acknowledgment to exhibitors and their herdmen for uniform courtesy and compli ance with requests. The heart response showed that, although there might be soreness here and there when some favor ite had not carried off the blue ribbon, yet there was no serious dissatisfaction with the awards. Going round the stalls after wards and taking count of the prizewin ners and their neighbors less fortunato-. one deduction was plain. In raising thoroughbred stock of all classes it is only the best that pay?, and then only when It is made a business. Hardly oyer is there a solitary prizewin ner. The" ribbons go to the laxxe exhibits. So there Is small temptation for any but wealthy people to enter the lists. Then does it not pay to raise thoroughbreds? Unquestionably it does, for excellence In blood stands for results in pocket. There fore the sale, of which announcement is made, to take place today, in the show ring, should be taken fullest advantage of to disperse these blooded animals far and wide. To everj' rule there are exceptions. Frakes' Great Victory.

Sweepstakes for the best boar and best sow. the celebrated herd of John B. Irwin, of Minneapolis (who carried off the first honors at St. Louis), is such an exception. Chatting with Mr. Frakes, of Scappoose, Oregon, who is tho IucKy man in question, I found one who. for 17 years, had been following his ideal In Holstein cattle, not with an eye to the show ring and blue ribbons, hut because the more highly-bred the animal the more money came back to the owner through the milk-pall. The champion cow was not only a beajity to look at, but a most profitable Investment for the dally work of the dairy. Her proud owner pointed out tho contribution of every item in the animals frame and constitution, of the gentleness of charac ter, of the sturdinesa and good health which demanded no extrrt care or excep tional feed, to the one great end of fill ing the pall, not with the milk of early day, thin and poor, but with the rich butter-making, cream-yielding milk which that cow produces in such abundance. Such a talk to a ckvs of students", with the Illustration of success and the means that achieved It, would have gone home to many a one. But it would have had to be enforced by knowledge of the years of hard work, perseverance and far-sightedness which culminated in that row of Holstein cattle of all ages, with 13 prizes out of 14 exhibits. Large Herds Score Too. ' But in the three great classes of Short horns, HerefoTds and Jerseys, the honors fall to the large herds, and to exhibitors whoae eye Is ever directed to Judges' awards and ribbons and prizes. Two of the smaller classes, Ayrshlrcs and Brown Swiss, aro. confined practically to one ex hibitor in each. The Brown Swiss filled BKOS OF COLUMBUS, O. 4' any age, and premier bamplonshlp for breeder, went to the Hazeiwood Company. For the first time in history, hogs from the Pacific Coast yesterday had a chance of displaying their relative merits against tue corn-fed breeds from the Middle West, and that the comparison was decidedly to tbe advantage of those from this Coast Is shown by the fact that fully 90 per cent of the prises were landed here. Some of the choicest varieties of swine were brought out from Kansas, Nebraska. Iowa. Minnesota, the Dakotas and other well-knowo corn districts which have al ways been supposed to hold the palm In displays of this sort, but developments proved that they were no mutch for the stubble-fed and diversified farming prod uct of the Pacific Coast, The Oregon Livestock Breeders' Asso ciation will banquet the visiting breeders at S o'clock this evening at the American Inn. quite a row of stalls, but were all but two laklma.

The Ayr shires, small in size, as pretty as Jerseys but hardier and more easily kept, are ex cellent milkers, and specially adapted to the one family cow owner. They will live on a small fenced lot of ground, or will take care of themselves on a hillside Professor French, of the Idaho Univer sity, Is here with two graded steers, ready for the butcher at a very early age. One bears a label that It has gained in weight 2.. i pounds for each day that It has lived. I asked the Professor where his milking strain of Durhams was. For at the Idaho University Professor French Is demon strating a double purpose Shorthorn, orig inating in England from a well-bred Shorthorn strain of good milkers, which has been kept pure .and bred by careful selection to growing results as milkers. Ho said that the cattle in question had not been made ready to show and had to slay at home. I close this notice by repeatinc that it Is a great gathering from many states, and collected from great distances. The Missouri. Indiana, Ohio and Minnesota people knew what they were doing when they brought their stock so far. for they take back many distributed honors among them. AH these exhibitors have kindly words to say for their Pacific Coast ri vals, and know them for what they are "worthy of their steel." Tomorrow I hope to discuss some sheep and. goats. WALLIS XASH. SMALL- BLAZE AT EXPOSITION "Klondyke" Concession's aroving Pictures Go Up In Smoke. v Misfortune seems to follow close at the heels of the Klondyke, the Trail conces sion that was attached last week. It suf fered a loss last night about 6:30 o'clock of 300 by fire. Several rolls of films of tha moving picture machine became Ignited from a spark, and In a few seconds were totally destroyed.

The admissions to tne Fair yesterday were reported as 2-1,432. "A hundred thousand for Portland day5' the popular slogan at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, is rapidly affecting all classes of people ln the city and throughout tho state. The 100,000 attendance for Portland day Is not the exaggerated prediction of some over-zealous Exposition official, but Is ba33d on conservative estimates that tho admissions will reach this figure pro vided the weather la favorable. Portland rday Is to be "the" event of the Exposition and will surpass all other celebrations. Not only will the whole of Portland turn out to the Lewis and Clark Exposition on September 30, but the attendance from all parts of Oregon, and "Washington, Cali fornia and Idaho, Id expected to be with, out precedent. There will probably ba more strangers ln the city on Portland day than at any time since the Exposi tion opened. Seeking' Co-Operatlon. The management is systematically en gaged ln boosting Portland day at the Fair in all parts of the Pacific Coast. Representatives are now in California, Washington and Idaho arousing enthu siasm with, a view to Inducing a largo attendance. They aro also making a de termined effort to aecure the co-operation of other cities ln making- Portland day an overwhelming sueCess. Within the next week the mayors of overy important city In the Northwest and California will fee visited by these representatives, who will invite them to take an active part on Portland day. One of the feature's of the day's celebra tion will be a mammoth parade, second not even to that of opening day, for yhich it Is hoped the Pacific Coast cities will furnish beautiful floats. Wherever the representatives of tho Exposition have been on their exploitation trips, the pro posed participation of the other cities has been heartily approved. Several of the cities are already making arrangements to construct floats for this occasion. Be sides the many floats and bands, several military bodies will march in the parade. Cut Out the "Dead-Heads." The free admissions will be reduced to minimum on Portland day. In order to swell the cash receipts and make a cred itable showing, practically all the people employed at the Exposition will purchase admission tickets. This has been done at all other expositions when the home city had its special day, and there wiM be but very few of the pass holders who will re fuse to purchase tickets. Commissioners J. A. Filcher and Frank Wiggins have an nounced their intention of purchasing tickets of admission for all of the attend ants of the California building on that day. It is thought all other state com missions will do the same. The wholesale grocers of Portland have passed a resolution which, states their belief that September 30 should be a mem orable one ln the affairs of the Exposi tion, and that a. sense of civic pride should induce every citizen, not only of Portland, but of the whole State of Ore gon, to Join ln the celebration. Tho wholesale grocers who have sent word to the Exposition management that they will be closed the whole of Portland day are Allen & Lewis. Wadhams & Co.. Wadhams & Kerr Bros., Mason, Ehrman & Co. and Lang & Co. C03IMERCLAL CLUB IS BOOSTING Will Do All ln Its Power for Suc cess of Portland. Day. This forenoon at 11:30 o'clock, a meet ing will be held at the Portland Com mercial Club, of a special committee of ten nTembers, appointed by President H. M. Cake, to deise ways and means by which enthusiastic observance of Portland day by people of the city, as well as the throng of visitors assured by favorablo railroad rates to make it not only an occa sion memorable in the hiBtory of the Ex position but a record-breaking event that will serve as an example of the loyalty and patriotism of the people to their great achievement of the most beautiful Exposi tion of the country. "In view of the fact that railroad rates permit outside people to come to the city the day before and remain several days after September 30," said President Cake, "it Is our hope that an understanding may be arrived at whereby merchants who have already decided to keep their places of business open on that day will recon sider and close to allow employes to spend the day at the Exposition. It will be of tremendous value to -Portland if the re port goe3 broadcast on that night that 100,000 or 110,000 people, passed through the turnstiles of the Lewis and Clark Exposition Portland day. All the popula tion of the town should be harmonized to make the occasion memorable and since the Exposition is a public Institution our interests are all equal in making It suc cessful. It Is a duty to show the right spirit of patriotism to the large number of outside visitors who will bo guests of the city a week from Saturday." Members of the special committee of the Commercial Club are: Henry E. Mc Crasen, Hugh McGuIre, H. L- Chapin, Leo Frlede, Sig. SIchel. William Gadsby, L,. J. Wentworth and R. D.
