of Grandstand.
Thousands crowded into the spacious
grandstand and bleachers of the Na
tional Pacific Show at the Country
Club's new grounds yesterday, and
thousands cheered as thrilling a series
of racing events as has ever been wit
nessed on this Coast. And a multitude
applauded the blooded animals and
fancy stock that were on exhibition at
the barns.
It was Portland day at the club and
it was by far the biggest day In point
of attendance, and. indeed. In point of
actual interest and enthusiasm of this
Inaugural meet of the Pacific National
Show. Spectacular racing events In
the afternoon sent bats wildly Into the
air and caused the echoes of the cheer
ing throng to reverberate through tha
surrounding hills.
Holiday Crowd at Races.
The big grandstand was filled, the
long rows of bleachers were dense with
humanity and the crowd even surged
far up and down the fence on the outer
edge of the track. Inside the track
there were vehicles of every sort, fancy
carriages with blooded teams, tandems,
tallyhos. automobiles, buggies and
carts, until the entire side of the In
field was crowded, and a detachment
of mounted policemen spent a busy af
ternoon in their endeavors to prevent
entanglements of the teams.
Mayor Lane and the entire City
Council attended In a body during the
afternoon. Women were there in num
bers and the thrilling finales of each
event were Intensified by excited fem
inine ejaculations and appeals to the
drivers.
New Record for West.
In the raring events record were
again shattered and the new track of
the National Pacific Show has demon
strated speed surpassed by none and
equalled by only a few In the West.
For instance. College ilald, the guide
loss pacer, lowered her record that was
made Monday and stepped the fastest
mile on this new track yesterday that
ehe has ever gone. And In the great
2 09 pacing race, that required five
thrilling heats to decide, a new Western
record was established, for It waa the
fastest five-heat pacing event ever run
west of the Mississippi River.
Ideal weather was another feature
of the day. which waa marred by only
one accident. Tsa accident, however.
had no serious consequences, but af
forded as spectacular a scene as any
thrlll-lovlng audience could desire. It
was in the second heat of the first race,
a pacing event for 2-year-olds, that the
accident happened.
Falls in Front of Grandstand.
Bonnie Antrim, winner of the race,
was a length to the good in the stretch,
Rosa R, with Prier up, driving him hard
for first place. The mare was gaining,
but just In front of the grandstand,
perhaps 25 yards from the wire, the
mare faltered, swerved and struck her
left fore foot against the wheel of the
Antrim sulky. Instantly the mare
pitched forward and fell in a heap, the
sulky springing high into the air and
hurling the driver over her head upon
the track. Neither the mare nor the
driver received injuries of conse
quence. The big race of the day was the sec
ond on the programme, for the Rose
City purse of $500. There were nine
entries, and five distressing heats were
necessary to decide the winner, before
the lordly Charley D, a big bay horse
as majestic in appearance as a horse
could be, settled down and won in three
successive heats. Magladi took second
money and Tidal Wave, the crack
chestnut horse from Albany, annexed
the third.
Tidal Wave's Fast Time.
The race was exciting and threw
quite a scare into the admirers of Char
ley D, the California horse, that was
touted t win easily. In the getaway
of the first heat the California stallion
was far back in the rear, while Lord
Lovelace set the pace to the quarter.
Tidal Wave and Magladi pressed close
on the leader to the three-quarter pole
and into the stretch. There, it Is
claimed. Magladi was pocketed, and
broke. Tidal Wave forging a good lead
to the front and winning the heat In
the fastest time that has ever been
made on the track. Magladi finished
second. Lord Lovelace third and Geral
dine fourth, Charley D finishing ninth.
Time, 2:06.
When the field took the word in the
second heat, Charley D waa again far
In the rear.- He worked his way up to
the middle of the procession, but there
he remained, finishing sixth in this heat,
while Tidal Wave again set the pace to
the half, closely pursued by Magladi. At
the half the field was well bunched, with
the Albany horse and Magladi contend
ing for first honors, Geraldine also show
ing an ambition in that line. In a driv
ing finish Magladi passed the wire half
a length ahead of Tidal Wave, with
Geraldine a close third and Miss Idaho
fourth. Time, 2:05.
Charley D. Well In Front.
It was at the get-away of the third
heat that Charley D came into his own.
It was a clean break and the big black
had a position up towards the front.
He immediately took the lead and desptte
the efforts of Tidal Wave to 'wrest the
place from hira maintained a lead of
two lengths to the half when Magladi
and Tidal Wave both pressed him hard.
However, the big Callfornian took the
heat from Magladi by a head, and to
many in the grandstand It looked like a
dead heal. Time. 2r08ij.
In the fourth General Henertus had a
length to the good in the get-away, but
Charley r passed him and led the field
by a length at the quarter, three others
crowding closely for second place.
Charlev D led the field by two lengths to
the half, where the field strung out be
hind the leader who kept up his lead
until under the wire, Geraldine winning
second place from General Heuertus.
Time. 2:07V
The fifth heat was a walk-away for
the Charley horse who. despite a bad
get-away, soon established a lead of
three lengths and kept It for the re
mainder of the Journey. General
TTeuertus finished second and Magladi
third. Time, 2:0S.

LAUDS OREGON METROPOLIS
San Francisco Hotel Manager Tells
of Portland.
Colonel J. C. Klrkpatrlck, the genial
San Francisco hotel man, who owns
Charley D., the crack pacer and winner
of the Rose City stakes in one of the
most exciting races ever witnessed here,
is flattering in his praise of Portland and
the management of the new racetrack.
Colonel Kirkpatrlck is the genial host
of the Fairmont Hotel of San Francisco,
and on completion of the new Palace
Hotel at the Bay City, will again assume
the direction of that- famous hostelry.
When seen at his apartments at the Ore
gon Hotel last night, just before his de
parture for San Francisco, where he had
been called on important business. Colo
nel Kirkpatrlck had the following to say
in appreciation of the courtesies extend
ed him while on' this visit to Portland,
and his satisfaction at having won the
Rose City stake:
"Portland has grown wonderfully since
I was last here, and I am most agreeably
surprised at the metropolitan aspect she
has attained since my previous visit.
Portland has always been noted for the
hospitality of her citizens, and I find
that this splendid attribute has increased
rather than diminished during the period
that has elapsed between my too mfre
nuent visits. Heretofore I have been ac
customed to spend my vacations abroad,
but I shall remedy this in the future and
devote more time in getting acquainted
with my own country-
"To win the first Rose City stake with
my horse, Charley D-, is a source of
great satisfaction to me. In the past I
have been in the habit of sending my
horses East to the grand circuit, but there
Is no need of so doing now, for the North
west circuit affords all the advantages
both in tracks as well as worthy purses
as are offered on the grand circuit. 1
do not know of a racetrack In the coun
try more Ideally located than your Rose
City track. In fact for a track that has
just been constructed. It Is really wonder
ful. Its natural advantages, both of loca
tion and adaptability are surprising, and
I believe that on completion the grounds
and racing facilities will be the best in
America. Portland deserves great praise
for this step toward the promotion of the
harness racing game, and If the addition
of my entries can help any each year, I
can now promise that they will be forth
coming as long as I have the inclination
to follow the harness horse as a means of
diversion and sport." ,
Colonel Kirkpatrlck was called home un
expectedly last night, for he had ex
pected to remain in Portland during the
entire meet. However, he has left his
stable in charge of his trainer, Joseph
Thompson, and these horses will be seen
later In the week.
Colonel Klrkpatrlck is known through
out Europe and America as the double
of King Edward VII, and when ques
tioned about some of His European ex
periences, he modestly asked to be ex
cused from speaking of them.
Mrs. Klrkoatrick. who accompanies her
husband on this trip. Is a warm admirer
of the Oregon Olympio athletes. one
came over from London on the same
steamer with Forrest Smithson, of whom
she spoke in the highest terms.
"Oregon should well be -proud of these
boys, for if the other two are anything
like Mr. Smithson," she said, "the state
can boast of her sons with pride. I was
fortunate enough to witness the Olympic
games on the day Mr. Smithson won his
glorious victory, and I was most agree
ably surprised when he won so splendidly,
for he was a Pacific Coast boy and my
sympathies were naturally with him in
his race. I had the pleasure of meeting
him while coming over on the Majestic"

CLOSE FINISH OF ONE OF THE BIG
RACES AT COOTRY CLX'B ON PORTLASTD DAY.
Warren Swetland, Arrested for Sell
ing Trout, Also Declares Only
Young Salmon Were Served.
Charges that J. L. Green, deputy
state Fish and Game Warden, went
fishing for a bribe at the Perkins hotel
restaurant, were made from the wit
ness stand in Justice of the Peace Bell's
Court yesterday. The charges were
made by Warren Swetland, manager of
the Perkins Hotel Company, who waa
on trial charged with serving brook
trout at his hostelry. Mr. Swetland
not only swore that Green made re
peated hints for a bribe but testified
that the officer undertook to prosecute
him for failing to pay up.
"He came to the hotel, ordered trout,
was given three young salmon and
these he carried away, substituted for
mountain trout and preferred charges
against the hotel, bwetland said.
The hotel man said he was certain
the substitution had been made be
cause he buys young salmon In large
numbers, cooks them In butter aud
bacon and serves them as trout. It Is
not Illegal to serve the young salmon
although mountain trout are barred by
law.
"I'm positive he didn't get a brook
trout out of the hotel restaurant,"
Swetland added. "It was entirely clear
to me what he had done when he
offered these mountain trout in evi
dence. My cooks prepare the fish. In
butter and bacon while the fish he
shows are simply broiled. I would dis
charge a cook that did anything so
crude as broil a trout."
Green was asked to explain the ho
tel man's charge. He averred he had
merely said it would cost 975 to settle
with the law and had made no sugges
tion of settling outside of court.
The case was tried out before a jury
but no agreement was reached. Mr.
Swetland said last night be had wit
nesses to prove his charges and that
he did not intend to drop the matter.
He had not decided what action he
would take against the deputy fish
and game warden, but said the charge
of seeking a bribe or manufacturing
evidence would be pushed to the ex
tent of the law.
