THE MORXIXG OREGONIAX, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1908. RAY 0' LIGHT SETS HI NEWGDASTRECORD Three-Year-Old Wins Chamber of Commerce Pace in 2:08 1-4. MULES IN A MILE RACE Buster Jones Captures the Three- Quarter Mile Running Race Dr. Jones Takes Two-Year-Old Trotting Race. Three ecjendid harness events, a three quarter mile dash and a vaudeville attrac tion In which three pairs of mules were cajoled and whipped around the track were features of the racing; programme at the Pacific National Show at the new grounds of the Country Club yesterday. In the second race of the day the Paci fic Coast record for 3-year-olds was brok en by Ray o' Ugrht. E. S. Train's crack colt with Searchlight blood In his veins. Jt was a 3-year-old pace for the Chamber of Commerce purse and. as stated be fore, it was the fastest 3-year-old race ever run on a Western track. ' Ray o' Light won handily in two straight heats; time 3:064 and 2:09H- The third race, the big event of the day. with a field of 10. developed some sensational racing which is not ade quately described by the three successive heats won by H. R. Rutherford's black horse, Monecrat. Doc Munday. an out sider, according to the dopesters. drove Monecrat a fearful pace for first money, and had the bay gelding stayed on his fppt he might have been at the head of the procession instead of three successive second placeB. In the running race, three-quarter mile cash, there was an exciting finish. Bus. ter Jones winning by a nose from Melar, O. P. McNeal's bay mare that showed wonderful finishing powers. From a position far in the rear of the two leaders she showed a burst of speed in the stretch that sorely distressed the winner. Mule Race Causes Mirth. In the mule race, the vaudeville stunt which caused a thousand cheers and un mitigated mirth. AI. D. Wisdom's pair of galloping wonders won easily from H. C. Campbell's team. It. Emmett Drake, the third entry, waft distanced simply for the reason that his team refused to heed the stinging coaxings of his wliip and ambled along leisurely, trying once to pause and nibble at a bunch of grass that grew temptingly near the back stretch. It is whispered In the paddocks that the race was a frame-up, though no official protest has been entered. In the first race, a-year-old trotting, two out of three. Dr. Jones took first money, although he was second in both heats. There were five entries, three of which were scratches. The first heat was easily won by Zomdell. Dr. Jones was second in the heat. In the second the two took the word evenly and went to the half with Zomdell a length to the pood. There the colt went off his feet and rn clear down the stretch and past the wire. Dr. Jones was riven the race, though finishing second, because Zomdell ran for half the distance. Time. z:. Ray OLigbt Wins Handily.' In the 3-year-old pace, two In three, the sensational event of the day, Bay o' Light won handily from Mortri and Cora In straight heats. The mare fin ished second in the first heat, while Mortrlz took that position in the sec ond heat. The second and third money, accordingly, was shared evenly by the two. Time. 2:0814 and 2:08. Monecrat took first money in the third race in three successive heats. It was 2:27 class trotting. He took the lead In the first heat and kept a good two lengths ahead of the field till the finish. Doc Munday, with a bad start, closed in on him toward the end, but failed to do better than take second place. The second heat was practically a repetition of the first, except that the Munday horse crowded close on the leader, allowing only half a length to intervene. Byron Corbett, a bony bay, which had remained in the background, figured prominently In this heat, for he climbed from way back in the rear to third place at the finish. The third heat showed Monecrat somewhat distressed, or Doc Munday wonderfully strong on the finish, for Munday crowded the leader closely un til the stretch, when he went up In the air, and barely held second place from Byron Corbett. The time was 3:16 2:13U and 2:14. In the running race, three-quarters of a mile, with a field of four. Buster Jones repeated his performance of Mon day and took first money. It waa only by a head, however, and after a most exciting finish, for Melar made him aw fully tired of the distance, and in the stretch closed a gap of at least six lengths, losing to Buster Jones only by a head. Birdie P finished third, and Mary Dunn fourth. Time, 1:13 i. In addition to the second appearance of College Maid, the entries for today are as follows: Today's Entries.

' FRANKISPRESfuEN T Multnomah Club Member Head of P. N. A. ELECTION HELD IN SEATTLE Portland Delegates Refuse to Par ticipate in Proceedings and Have Xothing to Offer in Explan ation of Actions. SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 22. (Special.) Edgar Frank, of the Multnomah Club, of Portland, was elected president of the Pacific Northwest Association of the A. A. U. at a meeting of the board of gov ernors held today at-the Seattle Athletic Club. F. F. Emery, of the Spokane Athletic Club, was elected vice-president, and T. Morris Dunne, of the Multnomah Club, secretary and treasurer. The registration committee, whose duty It is to see that all athletes competing in meets under the auspices of the A. A. U. are properly registered, will consist of Morris Dunne, of Portland, chairman; Fred Blomberg, of Spokane, and Fred F. Carver, of the Seattle Club. A determined effort will be made to have the championship games of the A. A. U. held in Seattle during the exposi tion next year, and to provide for that contingency a games committee was named. This committee will nave run charge of the games as far as the P. N. A. is concerned and takes out of the hand of the club under whose auspices they are held the management of the games. D. G. Inveranty. oi tne oeaiiie nun, was named as chairman of this committee and the other members are W. M. Inglis, of the National Guard Association: T. G. McDonald, of the Public Schools Athletic League; R. W. Wilbur, of the Portland Rowing Club, and Fred Blomberg, of the Spokane Athletic Club. PORTL-AXDERS FAIIi TO ATTEXD Multnomah Delegates Refuse to Par ticipatc in Seattle Election. Without being represented at the Seattle meeting of the Pacific Northwest Ama teur Athletic Association in Seattle last night, the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club was voted the principal offices for the ensuing year by that organization. T. Morris Dunne. E. E. Morgan and Ed gar E. Frank were delegated by the local club to represent it at the annual meet ing at Seattle. Dunne and Morgan went to Seattle, but returned home without having been in session with the other Northwest representatives. T. Morris Dunne refused to give any explanation of the action of the other dele gates, saying E. E. Morgan, cnairman ot the Multnomah delegation, should be the sookesman. Mr. Morgan left the city shortly after his return from Seattle, and is now at Tillamook on a business trip. While he would not discuss the reasons prompting the Multnomah delegation's withdrawal. Mr. Dunne practically anmn- ted that he would accept the office to which he was elected. Rdsrar E. Frank, president-elect of the P. N. A., when informed last night of hia selection for the office, said: "The action of the P N. A. is only in accordance with precedent and I shall ac cept the office and do my utmost to pro mote the interests of the organization. I have not seen Mr. Morgan and therefore know nothing ot the controversy, or dls puts, if any such occurred, which led to his withdrawal from the meeting. As far as the Multnomah Club is concerned, we deeire harmony In this organization and insofar as we expect to have the A. A. L. games at Seattle next year, it would not be well for us to have a serious break In the organization at present. Aside from one member of the committee appointed by the P. N. A. to assume charge of the games, should they be held in Seattle, I have no objection to that committee. As to this man. I do not care to discuss him at present, for I believe that his stand ing can be determined without a dispute arising between the Multnomah Club and the other members of the association. As Seattle is to have the meet, it is no more than proper that Seattle men should have the larger representation on the committee which will have the planning of the meet in hand. I wish to thank the membersof the association for the honor conferred upon me and shall endeavor to perform the required duties to the best of my ability. TWO JOCKIES BADLY HURT Yorke and H.
