THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1908. 11 OH! OF FEATURES AT HORSE RAGES Northwest Record Smashed in 2:13 Trot, Berta Mac Clipping Off a Second. GOES THE MILE IN 2:09 1-2 Colle Maid. Guideless Pactr, Ajraln Lonm Own Mark Coast Record Nearly Fqualcd in S-Vcar-OId Trot Card for Today. Another thrilling five-heat race In which anotnor North Pacific Coast record was smashed: the chopping of a second off her own record by College Maid: a 2:20 pace in which every heat beat 1:10; a trotting: event for three-yeer-e-Ms which came within three quarters of a second of breaking; an other Coast record, and a spectacular galloping race were features of yester day's card on the splendid new track of" th National Paciiie Show at the Country Club. It was a great card and the various events weri witnessed by a good crowd. The attendance was scarcely as large s on Portland day. but It was a decided Increase over the first two days. Ideal weather and perfect track conditions aided in making the day one of the beat of the meet. College Maid, the guideless pacer, won the plaudits of the throng by mak ing her third successive record on this new track. The mare paced a mile In I0TH. the fastest mile he has ever gone. On Monday, her first appearance on the local track, she lowered her own record. and Wednesday she lipped a portion of a second off that. Yesterday she clipped a clean second off Wednesday's record of 2:OS',4. The big; event of the day waa the 1:13 trot. In which regal Berta Mac contested with the game Day Break for supremacy. There was a field of nine, but from the outset It waa plain thst there were only two in the race. Five driving heats were necessary to decide the race. In the first Berta Mac. vhose spurting qualities are won derful, had the best of it at the get away, and led by a length to the quar ter, with Pay Break leading a trailing field in the rear. Day Break, however, eloped the gap gradually and at the half forged ahead. There the mare brokn. and the leadership of the geld ing was never again Jeopardized. He won easily by two lengths. Berta Mac finishing second and Emily W. third. Time. 2:llVi. Breaks Northwest Record. As they took the word in the second heat. Easter Bella was far behind the field, while Day Break had a good lead of two lengths as far aa the quar ter pole. Berta Mac. however, climbed out of the entangled field and slowly gained on the leader until the turn at the stretch, where she passed the horse and won In a driving finish In the fastest time that has ever been made In a trotting race on a Pacific: North west track. Time. 2:09Vi. The previ ous Northwest record was 2:10H. Berta Mac also took the third heat, but failed to cross the wire first in the following heats. In this heat she had a good length to spare as they scored for the word, but Day Break eliminated the gap between the quarter and the half. But the mare regained her lead after passing the half-mile pole and turned Into the stretch in that position. Day Break crowded her fear fully and had climbed to an even posi tion when he went off his feet and the mare won easily. Day Break finishing second and Nosrl third. Time, 2:09. Day Break regained his position in the fourth heat by breaking his own record. Day Break and the mare got away evenly and the mare had gained a length by the time they passed the quarter. The field trailed far behind. At the half the horse clung only half a length behind the mare and they were reck and neck at the three-quarters. They swung into the stretch side by side, and it was a pretty drive towards the wire until the mare broke and Day Break won by six lengths, lowering his record. Time, 2:10. in the fifth and final heat of the race Berta Mac set the pace and re mained a good two lengths ahead of her adversary until the stretch, when the horse crowded her so closely that she again broke and Day Break won by two lengths. Time, 2:10V,. Josephine Wins 2:20 Pace. Josephine, H. E. Rutherford's crack mare, walked away with the 11000 purse In the 2:29 pacing race. She won In three successive heats and her supremacy was never questioned. Bushnell King, however, a game little stallion, made a great race and won second place as easily as the mare did first. Although the entries were made In a 2:L'0 cla.is. all the heats were better than 2:10. Time of the three heats were 2:09i. ::09 and 2:09i. In the third race, which was first on the programme. Katalina won handily. The race waa for three-year-old trotters and it came within three-quarters of a second of breaking a PacJ'ie Coast record. ,KataI!na took the lOd in the first heat and kept it. She performed the same feat in the second, while Princess Direct finished second and Bonkln. the third entry, finished third. Time. 2:17Ai and S:19H. The Counselor ran away from a bunch of four In the galloping event. He and Tank, who ran second, had bad get-aways, but passed Sallle Goodwin and Inlnti In the stretch. The Counsel- ur winning. Tank finishing second, Sal- lie Goodwin third and Inlnti fourth. Time. 1 .-!. Today's programme offers an excep tionally good series of racing events. In the 2:0 pacing race practically all the horses have been entered which took part m the big rare of Wednes day, r-harli y D.. Tidal Wave. Magladl and General Heurtus have, of course, been eHm.nnted. because they were in the money in Wednesday's race. The field is a big one and some of the best horses In the West have been en tered.

Declare Tliat as a Matter of Re ligious Belief They Close Their Stores on Saturday. Seventh Day Adventists will Join the first line of mourners Sunday at the obsequies over Sunday business privileges in Portland. Such of them as are in business say that the misfortune that District Attorney Cameron is bringing to the average small dealer is only a trifle to what will befall them. For. as a matter of religious belief, they close down thler places of business on Satur day. With them Saturday is the Lord's day, the day of rest and prayer. It is the day to remember and keep holy. Sun day Is regarded as merely one of the days of the week and Intended for busi ness 'purposes. - Not a few keepers of small shops axe of this creed. "Such a law Is unconstitutional," they say. They point out that the constitu tion vouchsafes untrammeled religious belief to any and all alike. Since Satur day is their day of worship and the law compels them to close down and recog nize the day other people see fit to use as a day of worship, is not such a law unconstitutional? they ask. Their meeting to talk over the new Dis trict Attorney's experiment will be held at the Women of Woodcraft Hall, Tenth and Taylor streets, Sunday night at 7:45 o'clock. Different phases of religious lib erty will be discussed by A. J. Breed, of Walla Walla; u. ta. jvnarass, or Eng land; W. F. Martin and Daniel Nettle ton, of Portland. Both sides, they say, will be represented. Just what action will be taken by cigar stand proprietors, soda fountain operators, florists and the other small traders af fected by the Cameron order remains to be seen. It is known that there has been some talk of organisation to defeat the law. But this would hardly afford relief in the present should Chief Gritzmacher see fit to have his police department enforce the District Attor ney's edict to the letter. Mr. Cameron continually says that It is left to the Chief's discretion as to what arrests shall be made. He says he has merely called the police Chiefs attention to the law Involved, which cites that stores, shops, groceries, bowling alleys, billiard rooms and tippling houses or places of amusement must not operate on the lirst day of the week "commonly known as Sunday." Theaters, under taking establishments, livery stables, drug stores, bakeries and butcher shops are excepted. The Chief must use his own Judgment as to what constitutes a shop. In this he mav find a little aid from the book of legal definition. Included In every law library. A shop Is defined as a place where trade is conducted, a store as a place where goods are sold for a profit. All those affected by the order will be formally notified to close Sunday. It is expected that the order will be generally complied with, at least for the time being. The fine prescribed for violation of the law Is from S5 to JS0. Ixises Arm la VToorisa w. HILJSHORO, Or., Sept. 24." (Special.) Fred Walton, of Cornelius, lost an arm today by coming In contact with the balance wheel of a woodsaw. The mem ber was so badly crushed that amputa tion was necessary. OREGON SWINE ASTONISHES EXPERT FROM MIDDLE WEST J. F. Stodder, of Burden, Kan., Judge of Swine Exhibit at Pacific National Show, Pays Tribute to Coast Product. WE of the Central West have flat tered ourselves with the idea that we can produce the great meat staples beef, pork and mutton to greater advantage than It can be done elsewhere. The formers of that great section of the United States are thoroughly impressed with the fact that they can produce more pork and better pork at less expense than can be done on any other spot on the globe. It was my extreme good fortune to have spent the past three days critically ex amining the different breeds of swine ex hibited at the first and great Pacific Na tional Show. I cannot recall any initial show of National proportion, even the great American Royal at Kansas City or the International at Chicago, that had aa complete an entry list as we have here In Portland 'this week. I presume it is the proverbial push and energy of the Pacific slope that has brought about so desirable a condition. Fat barrows of different breeds have been In the show ring that unquestionably would top the Kansas City market. To produce them in the corn belt would re o,ulra several monxhs-of lull feed on coin. SCHOOLS TO CLOSE Children Admitted Free to Livestock Show Today. PRIZEWINNERS TO PARADE I1n Stock Will Be Offered at Auc tion Horses Sold Bring Good JPrlces alem Business Men Are Coming. TODAY'S FEATURES AT THE COUNTRY CLCB. A big parade of prize-winning stock will be held In front of the grandstand at 1 o'clock. It will be over a mile In length. The prize winners will be on exhibition throughout the forenoon. An excel lent racing programme has been ar ranged. Including a 2:09 pace. In which many of the best horses of the West hava been entered. Other events will be a 2:25 cactng race, and a special trotting race, the day's eTents finishing with a three-Quarter mile running race. School children will be admitted free today. The City Superintendent of Schools has ordered the schools to close at 12 o'clock noon, aad thousands ot children are expected to see the big parade of prize-winning stock. This will be one of the most Interest ing days of the present meet of the Pacific National Show at the grounds of the Country Club. Thousands of children will attend, for at the direc ticn of the City Superintendent of Schools, the public tchools of Portland will close at noon today, and the pupils given a half holiday to attend the show. An Invitation was extended by the management of the show to the chil dren to attend, and it is believed that considerable educational value attaches to the exhibit of thoroughbred cattle at the grounds. There will be no ad mission fee to the children. Promptly at 1 o'clock there will be a grand parade of , all the prize-winning stock at the show: The parade will be held on the track immediately In front of the grand stand and will be more than a mile In length. Many of the most valuable specimens of varioua breeds of stock in the country will be shown. Another sale of stock will begin at 9 o'clock. There was considerable bid ding yesterday and a number of good sales were made. ' Judging of the va rious classes on exhibition was con cluded yesterday, end the stock will be on exhibition all the forenoon In the barns. An especially interesting racing pro gramme has been aranged for today. It includes some of the best events of the meet. Salem business men. It Is ex pected, will attend the meeting today.

The follow ing members of this herd will go on the block: Portland Bryan, 99,344; Black Satinette; Black Van. 117.624; General I wish some of oar Kansas farmers would take notice that these hogs would hardly know an ear of corn If they should see It. And I am told that some of these were put in high show condition while running out on the stubble. In the breeding classes all of the lead ing breeds of both lard and bacon hogs are represented. Including the Berkshire, Poland China. Duroc Jersey, Chester White, Essex and Yorkshire. I note that many exhibitors have been East and bought as good as they could find to add to their collections. I also note that many of these same hogs have been turned down in this week's showing, the prefer ence being for swine bred on the Coast. The lesson is plain and flattering to the producers of the Far West. Climatic and grazing conditions to gether with the great variety of suitable concentrates can not fail to make the breeding of hogs a profitable business and a pleasure as well. J. F. STODDER.

SHOOTS FRIEND FOR DEER Jchanes Hjorteland Kills Albert Ol sen While Stalking Big Game. SEASIDE!, Or., Sept. 24. (Special.) Mistaking his friend for a deer, Johanes Hjorteland shot and killed Albert Olsen, Wednesday morning, near Push, seven miles west of here. The men had been hunting daily for some time after bear, elk and deer, and had met with much success, as they had a plan whereby one would stop on a ridge while the other would go to the end of a canyon and beat the game up. Both knew the exact lay of the land, and with Olsen on the ridge Hjorteland started to beat the brush in he canyon by throwing stones. When nearing the point where the nuns was to bs killed by Olsen, but several hundred feet lower, Hjorteland saw something moving In the brush and V i -V 1 A A CLUB NATIONAL SHOW ACES took a shot at it. The object made a plunge, and as it went over a bluff he shot it again. He then cried out to Olsen to come down as he had a big buck. As he did not come, Hjorteland circled around and found his friend and partner dead with two bullets through his body. Both men were experienced hunters and woodsmen, and why Olsen should have left his post will never be known. A Coroner's Jury, made up of men who knew both men and knew them to be close personal friends, returned a verdict of accidental death by shooting.
