ths who visited the Fair earlier in the
season are now In the city or are en
route, tfco low rates inducing them to
taako tne trip to take one long, last look
at the Exposition. Besides, there aro
those who havo been putting off the visit
ta Vho 'Lwis and Clark Exposition for
. Pfevocal weeks on account of Portland day,
bVlng desirous of attending this event.
Gannon Will Boom.
- - At ? o'olock tomorrow morning the
cannon will boom at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, announcing to the
City of Portland that it Is due time to
saave o the Fair, The firing of the
cannon was first thought of as a gen
tle Tomlnder to the Portland people
that their day had arrived, but as
every man. woman and child in Port-
" lAMd and the ' vicinity, who Is able to
walk, ride or be carried, has long ago
decided to attend tomorrow,, it will
serve "as a signal for the general rush.
The cannonad'e tomorrow morning
will bo Icnown as the municipal sa

. 5 guns.
About the only possible congestion
that could arise In the admitting of the
166iC00 or more visitors to the Fair
grounds would be at the ticket win

respect has been obviated by the sell-

will be the most stupendous and mag
nificent spectacle of this kind ever at

Portland day will be at 10j8 o'clock,
and it Is thought by that.lme the peo

whan the $1600 in cash prizes will be

Big Sham Naval Battle.
About a dozen battleships,, over 106

the Centennial Guard, will take part
In the engagement. An Immense fort
is being built in the center of Guild's
Lake, which will be manned by the
Spanish defenders. The Japanese day
fireworks will bo a novel and unique
feature of the afternoon. Bombs will
be fired high in the air to explode,
throwing out quaint paper figures of
animals, serpents, flags, etc. The Jap
anese fireworks will start at 4 o'clock
to continue until it gets dark.

The tarnstlles rccerded 2X.S14 ad
mlBtilens yesterday.
From up at Hood River where apples
grow as big as ordinary pumpkins thero
came yesterday morning the greatest ex
cursion that has ever reached the Lewis
and Clark Exposition. The enterprising
city of Hood River and the surrounding
agricultural districts were practically de
populated. Some say there were five In
valids and two Infants left behind, but
others deny this report, claiming that the
seven members of the population referred
to could not stand the strain and joined
the excursion party at the last moment.
Be that as it may, 1613 people reached
Portland on the morning train and that
figure Is the actual count made by Rinaldo
Hall, of the O. R. & N. Company, which
transported the population to Portland.
About 300 additional came en & second
train, and a couple of hundred or more
started earlier in the week in order to
be on hand early. By heavy odde the
excursion takes the record- for the Ex
position period in the matter of size.
Hood River day at the Exposition proved
a big occasion. Everyone of the excur
sionists was at the grounds by 1 o'clock
and everyone else at the Fair knew Hood
River was in evidence. Not by noisy dem-
i onstratlons or gaudy banners or big par
ades, music ana speeonmaKing. out
through a display of unstinted liberality
and hospitality.. Exactly SOOO nne apples
were given away, and there Is no elo
quence that reaches Exposition crowds
quite i ho readily or quite so fully as do
presents of tine fruit.
Apples Arc Popular.
It had ben Intended to hold exercises
at the Wasco County booth, and a pro
gramme had been prepared, but at the
last morocnl this was done away with In
order' to expedite the distribution of
famed Hood River apples. From 11 A.
M. until well along Jn the afternoon three
attendants, were. busy handing onL-applcs.'
The" crowd. that claimed this offering was
built on the order of a phalanx. No sooner
would: the ' front &t the line drop out
burdenetf with apples than others would
immediately take their place. The distri
bution was supervised by E. L. Smith and
S. W. Skcpard, ot Hood River.
"Wjhlle the excursion was organized by
the Hood River Commercial Club, every
citizen cZ the place and every resident
ofHooi Hlver Valley seemed to consider
nimstui a part, ot ine promotion commit
tee. For many days past the coming day
at the Fair has been the prime topic
of conversation. And It was not all talk.
,for people up Hood- RlVer way liave a
commendable pride In their section of
the globe, and thus tho greatest excur
sion of the Exposition was organized.
WTulo a soodly percentage of the vis-
itors came from the town, the attendance
from the country was heavy. At daylight
yesterday morning the roads leading to
Hood River were filled with conveyances
of every description. There were bug
gies, lumbering farm -wagons, saddlehorss
and carts, all bearing their burdens of
loyal bvmanlty. A few determined ones
came on foot. The O. R. & N. Company
made them a liberal rate about enough
to pay for axlegrense and the conductor's
salary. The first excursion train was
Illled quickly, leaving a multitude to fol
low later.
Many of the visitors returned home on
the evening trains, although a large num
ber remained over for today and Portland
day. These are making the "Wasco Coun
ty booth. In the Agricultural Palace, their
headquarters.

the first " district members at their

cided that the parent body had no au

Last Day of Splendid Exhibit
Will Include Parade.
PRIZEWINNERS TO BE SEEN
Tomorrow Will Sec the Dispersion of
HIgh-Grade Animals to Other
Fairs Multitudes of In
- tcrcsted Spectators..
This is the last day of the livestock
show. If the woather is at all favorable
the attendance will probably- be as large
as It was last Saturday, when not less
than 29,fC0 people paid their respects to
the blue-blooded animals that have come
to Portland to assist In making the Lewis
and Clark Exposition a success. This
morning the last parade of the prize-win-
ners will be held In the arena. All the
animals will then remain In their stalls
until evening, when several tralnloads
J will go In quest of further laurels at other
, fairs. Those visiting the stock show this
afternoon will therefore have to content
themselves with Inspecting the stock In
their stalls and pens.
Superintendent Wisdom estimates that
the attendance since the opening of tho
show has not been less than 150,UX. Like
many others who are competent judges ot
stock, he doubts whether the equal of the
Portlarid livestock show: will be seen on
the Pacific Coast fpr many years.
This evening a tralnload of stock will
be shipped to the American Royal Stock
Show at Kansas City, another to th
Washington State Fair at North Yakima,
another to the Canadian Stock Show at
New Westminster, B. C: still another to
the Wyoming State Fair at Douglas,
Wyo., and sevoral carloads to California.
The stock not booked for further exhibi
tion wjll be returned direct to the stables
from whence it came.
Despite the threatening t weather., the
livestock show drew another large crowd
yesterday. The feature of the forenoon
was the parade o'f prize-winning horses
and Jacks through the Exposition grounds.
In the afternoon another, attractive pa
rade of horses and cattle was given In the
arena. Both grandstands were well filled
and the spectators were demonstrative in
their expressions of appreciation of the
dress-parade of prize-winners.
"Record Month for Marriages.
September Is a record-breaking month
for marriage licenses. The number Issued
In the County Clerk's office up to 5 o'clock
yesterday was 240, and It Is ' anticipated
that the total numoer for the month will
be at least 23. The largest, previous
month was Juno last with a record of
The Lewis and Clark Exposition has
had considerable to do with the Increase
In the numbcr'of marriage licenses. Hap
py couples have, coma to Portlnnd from
tother states all over the Union to be
married, and spend the honeymoon at the
Fair. Every day since the Exposition
onened the marriage license records show
the Issuance of licenses for about hajf a'
dozen,, pairs. It l safe to say that 500
couples from Interior Oregon points and
other states have been, married in Port
land this Summer, which, means a rev
enuo of 5100 for the county, and 5250O

DISTRIBUTION .OF FRUIT
Four Carloads of Apples, Grapes,
.3Iclons, Pears and Prunes Are
Given Away- to the Swarm
of Visitors.
There were more than 20,600 persons at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition yester
day, and nearly all of tnese visitors were
given fresh. luscious and beautiful fruit,
such as is only grown in Oregon. The
wholesale distribution of fruit Is the great
feature of Agricultural days, which began '
with yesterday and end tonight. Three
or four carloads of Oregon's splendid
fruit was distributed among the visitors
who called at the Agricultural building.
It seemed as though every visitor on
the grounds was eating fruit all day yes
terday. Some could be seen enjoying a
delicious buneh of grapes, and others were
biting huge chunks out of glossy red and"
yellow apples. Great big. Juicy ami mel
low pears were In great demand, and
were cnWn by hundreds. Even cantaloupes
and watermelons were given away, so
great was the generosity of the agri
culturists. Fruit Is Distributed.
This wholesale distribution of fruit took
placo In the Agricultural building. Near
ly all of the county booths gave away
fruit of all descriptions, but the principal
distribution took place near the center of
the building. Here three or four men
were busy all day handing out apples,
pears., peaches, grapes, prunes, etc.
Visitors from all parts of the Exposi
tion flocked to the Agricultural building,
but although the building was crowded
from early morning until the doors closed
at night, all who desired were given
fruit. The exhibitors and Count' Com
missioners had anticipated a rush and had
made such careful calculations of the ap
petites of the Exposition visitors, that
they had enough to supply all.
The small boy was in his prime at the
t;alr yesterday. Although the youthful
Americans called at the Agricultural
building again and again they were al
ways given as much fruit as they desired.
Nearly all of tho men who left tho Ex
position yesterday afternoon and night
had their pockets filled with apples, pears,
etc.. and the women utilized- handy old
newspapers as a medium with which to
earn" tho fruit.
Begins With ,n Parade.
Agricultural day began with an Im
mense parade, one of the very best that
has taken place at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition, which marched through the
Exposition grounds, after assembling at
the foot of the Trail. It was led by the
original and only SI Perkins Band of
about 15 pieces. Grand Marshal V. T.
Johnson, superintendent of the Agricul
tural building, rode Jn the parade on
horseback with his aides. The feature of
the parade was 400 schoolchildren from
The Dalles and- Hood River who rode
In- decorated carriages.
The prize-winners from the" Livestock
Show at the Exposition proved an in
teresting part of the parade, there being
about 50 head of magnificent horses alone
in the procession. Coos County, as pro
gressive and as enterprising as ever, had
a float In the parnde. Ezra Meeker, with
his ox-team and wagon carrying several
representative pioneer men and women
of Portland, took part In the parade.
Prizes Arc Distributed.
Part of the 6000 prizes were distributed
among the visitors to the Exposition, and
the rest will be given away today. A
very pleasing musical programme was
rendered in the Agricultural building at
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Among
those who took part were E. S. Thomas.
Miss Bethene Virginia Crayne. Professor
A. L. Remllnger. Miss Myrtle Park. Mrs.
Kathleen Randle and Miss Oxford. Pro
fessor J. W. Belcher and Miss Bessie De

yesterday. Fruit and prizes will be dis
tributed In the Agricultural building, and
at night there will be a grand parade. A
splendid muslcale will be rendered In the
Agricultural building .it 2 o'clock In the
afternoon.
