Opening of the Rose Exposition at the Oriental building yesterday after noon found a bewildering: feast of petal beauty spread out.

Portland has progressed apace in the art of raising roses since the first an nual exhibit of last year, and the Port land Rose Society's second annual ef fort finds standard of the highest. - 'the efforts of enthusiastic amateurs stand side by side with the profession al's art, and the layman might find it hard to distinguish between the two. The second rose exposition will sur pass that of last year in many respects even though the weather has not been entirely favorable to bringing into bloom the myriad buds. Two thous and entries were on the tables at H o'clock. Countless thousands of choice roses were Included in these entries. Great Variety of Color. Richness of coloring and a variety of hues, which would surprise any but the rose expert, characterized the exhibit. There are scores of exhibits of un . matched Caroline Testoute, the official rose of festival week. Ard's Pillars in rich profusion, dainty Duke of Edin burgh, subtle Grace Darlings and bright Mamon Cochets are on nearly every exhibit table. When the spacious Oriental building was thrown open to the public at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, all was in readiness. A big volunteer force, headed by Mrs. John Minto, did effect ive work during the morning hours. Streamers of rose and green, banners, flags and bunting were used to set off the display of flowers to the very best advantage. The Judges, W. S. SIbson, F. W. Settlemter and S. S. Sulliger, took up their work and will continue until all the awards have been made. Attendance Close to 15,000. Attendance yesterday reached close to 15,000 people. The stream of visitors kept pouring into the building all the afternoon and until late at night, hun dreds going to. the building after the illuminated parade. A fine programme of music was dispensed by a selected band during the afternoon and night, and this feature will be repeated today.

A furthef hearing on the vexing problem of the connection between the lines of the Southern Pacific and the United Railways In South Portland, to permit a better outlet for the products of the manufacturing plants in that section of the city, was held yesterday before Commissioners Aitchison and Campbell in the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce. Some time ago, at a hearing on this same subject, the two railroad com panies were ordered to proceed and make the connection that had been pe titioned for by the South Portland manufacturers. The order stated that in case the two companies failed to agree on the details, the matter could be brought up at a later date. This is what brought about the session yes terday. The testimony of Lloyd Wickersham, chief engineer for the United Railways, was taken to the effect that a feasible connection between the two systems can be had. Other details regarding the desired outlet for South Portland were taken up and the railroad com panies again instructed to proceed and put in the connection. It is understood that the Southern Pacific will contest the order of the commission In the courts. Attorney R. A. Leiter appeared for the Southern Pacific yesterday and A. C. Emmons, the attorney for the United Railways, appeared for that company. Commissioner Campbell asked Attorney Leiter what the objection of the South ern Pacific is to making the connection. The latter said he did not care to go Into details, but that the company be lieved a connection is no longer de sired by the manufacturers themselves, since the United Railways has extended Its tracks into a portion of the district intended to be opened up. It was de veloped that this track did not. how ever, reach all the South Portland man ufacturing plants that desire the con nection.
