Portland Has Made Strides
in Art of Raising Roses.
ENTRIES NUMBER 2000
Myriad Blooms on Display In Ori'
ental Building Attendance on
First Day Reaches 15,000.
Show Closer Tonight.
Opening of the Rose Exposition at
the Oriental building yesterday after
noon found a bewildering: feast of petal
beauty spread out. It was such a sight
as one might expect to meet with in
some happy dream. But as a reality,
It surpassed all expectation.
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.
The exposition will close tonight and
the thousands of blooms will then be
donated to decorative purposes for the
floral parades. Amateurs and profes
sionals alike have consented to give
their flowers to this commendable pur
pose. The awarding of the 75 priaes

SOUTHERN HOLDS BACK
WANTS NO CONNECTION WITH
UNITED RAILWAY LINES.
Railroad Commission Takes Testi
mony on Vexatious South Port
land Problem.
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. CANDY EXPOSED TO DUST
