SALEM. Or.. Sept. 1. (Special.)
Every year during the Salem State Fair
Portland day marks an epoch in the at
tendance at the Fall festival wherein
harness horse racing furnishes the chief
attraction, and today was no exception
to the established precedent. Overflow
crowds prevailed from the moment tho
fairground gates were thrown open to the
public in the morning. Thousands of
visitors, the greater portion of whom
ume from the metropolis, enjoyed the
fine raring card immensely, but the work
pf the high-steppers and the manner in
irhich the events were pulled off as well
is several exciting finishes, were suffi
cient to satiate the enthusiasm of the
most rabid fancier of speedy horse
flesh.
Pleasure at Every Hand.
N'ot only were the races genuinely in
teresting, but a great deal of pleasure
was evinced by the visitors In the stock
exhibit and several amusement attrac
tions found on "The Trail." While the
attendance marked the banner crowd of
the week, it did not total by several
thousand the number who flocked to the
Stte Fair on Portland day last year.
Ftlll. the showing was eminently satis
factory to the fair officials, who were
unanimous in staling that the average
daily attendance this season will far ex
cel that of any previous year. The rea
son for this seems to be that a great
many Oregonlans. and not a few of them
from Portland, have seen fit to remain
at Salem during the entire week.
That many are taking in the entire
week Is undoubtedly due to the higher
class of racing provided this season, and
also to the fact that Oregon-bred horses
are commencing to show better form
than ever before, and are now ranked
on an even plane of merit with importa
tions from -California and elsewhere.
During the past few days of racing sev
eral Oregon horses have shown better
form than the Callfornlans. This of it
self is a big boom for the stock-breeding
industry of this state.
Lee Crawford Wins Stake.
The feature event on today's card was
the 2:12 trot for the Lewis and Clark
stakes, valued at $5000. Like the big
stake of the previous day. it required
five heats to decide the victor. This
event was finally won on a better per
centage of points by Joe McGulre's Lee
Crawford. The Denverite's entry cap
tured the honors by having scored a sec
ond and a third over the Oregon con
tender, Zombronut. owned by Porter
Pros., the well-known contractors of The
Dalles.
Zombronut. driven by Fred Ward,
won the first two heats of this big race
In such a- clever manner that it was
generally presumed that the third heat
would decide the event. However, that
shrewd and careful driver. Joe Mc
Guire. suddenly upset, all the calcula
tions by bringing his Lee Crawford
home the winner in the third heat,
while Zombronut, having broken badly
at the far stretch, finished a poor sev
enth. This made it necessary for" an
other heat, and again a surprise was
sprung on the big throng. Much to the
delight of the Salem people. Henry
Grav. owned by A. Zbinden. and driven
hy W. Hartnagle. won the fourth heat
in breezy style. This left the result
still in doubt, and necessitated the call
ing for the .fifth heat.
McGuire Was Foxy.
In the final the foxy McGuire ne
gotiated again, and this gave him two
firsis. Having a better percentage in
the placements than did the Porter
Pros.- entry, he was awarded first
place. Zombronut was accorded second
position by virtue of his two firsts
and Henry Gray received third money.
It was a great struggle between
these fine specimens of the fancy step
pers and the crowd was kept in con
tinual excitement by the closeness of
the struggles in each heat.
The remarkable feature of the racing
card was the finish of two heats in dif
ferent races wherein the entries raced
down the stretch neck and neck. This
was especially exciting in the finish of
the last neat of the big trotting event
when Iee Crawford. Zombronut. Henry
Gray and Era finished in this sensational
manner. McGuire's entry was sent to
the front Just at the wire and won out
from Henry Gray by scarcely half a
1-ngth. while the latter beat Era for the.
place by a similar distance, and Zom
bronut was fourth, a length behind tha
third horse.
In the final beat of the 1:30 pace the.
three contending horses came Into the
stretch abreast and the race to the wire
waa the Incentive of renewed outbursts
of enthusiasm. This was the event in
which Henry Helm an proved the clev
erer driver.
He brought H. EL Armstrong s Demoniac
Wilkes under the wire first In three
straight heats, though In none of them
d'd his horse make record time. In fact
no records suffered yesterday at all. but
despite the failure to lower previous
marks, the races were most Interesting.
Oregon Derby Excites.
Following the harness races the Ore
gon Derby for a purse of $300 over a
course of one and one-stxteenth miles
was run by the bangtails. This event
was captured by the Councillor, a chest
nut gelding owned by George Herron. of
Marshfield. Sam McGlbbon was second
and Marwood third. The time was 1:47,
fairly good for the distance.
The street railway system of Salem was
tax;d to its utmost capacity and was
still unable to handle the crowds ex
peditiously. Many persons walked to and
from the Fairgrounds, while automobiles
d'd a land-office business.
Aside from the Interest attached to
the racing card, one of the most pleas
ing features of the afternoon's pro
gramme was the vocal solo of Miss
Elizabeth Harwas. of Portland, who
rendered "The Holy City" In one of the
intermissions. Miss Harwas, who but
recently returned from Europe, was
greeted cordially, and when she had
concluded her ro she was applauded
enthusiastically
W. F. Matlock, president of the Ore
gon. State Fair Association, expressed
himself as eminently satisfied with the
patronage extended the fair this season.
In estimating the crowd yesterday he
figures that at least 10.000 persons
came up from Portland to attend Port
land day at the exhibition. Both Presi

that the attendance th-ls year will
eclipse all previous marks, and both at
tribute it to the irrowlns Interest in
harness horse events. They are also
sanguine In predicting that the races in
Portland next week will be highly suc
cessful from the standpoint of patron
age, for they argue that the better class
of horses now on the circuit will serve
to draw the people to the coming meet.
Just as It has acted for the Salem meet.
Tonight the exercises at the pavilion
consisted of any address by Mayor

Eradicated by New Skin Remedy.
Ever since its discovery, poslam. the
new skin remedy, has, in its extraor
dinary accomplishments, exceeded the
most sanguine expectations of the em
inent specialist who gave It to the
world. It has cured thousands of cases
of eczema and eradicated facial and
other disfigurements of years' stand
ing. The terrible Itching attending
eczema Is stopped with the first appli
cation, giving proof of Its curative
properties at the very outset.
In less serious skin affections, such
as pimples, rash, herpes, blackheads,
acne, barber's itch, etc, results show
after an overnight application, only a
small quantity being required to effect
a cure. Those who use poslam for
these minor skin troubles should im
mediately secure one of the special 50
cent packages recently adopted to meet
such needs. Both the 60-cent package
and the regular 2 Jar may be obtained
In Portland at the Skidmore Drug Co.,
Woodard. Clarke & Co., and other
leading drug stores.

of interest for hundreds of the fair
visitors. The chief event of the fair
season, in the opinion of dairymen, is
now on. namely the milk test, which
commenced this morning and will be
completed Friday night at 9 o'clock.
The cows are milked three times daily."
Last year Mercedes de Kol Alvin, . a
Holstein cow owned by J. L. Smith, of
Spokane, captured the first prize as a
producer of cream-producing milk, and
the same cow is leading the competi
tion this year, but has some close com
petitors. The butter this year was scored by
Thomas G. Karrcll, of Portland. In
dairy butter the first prize was taken
by Mrs. John Girardin, of Turner, whose
exhibit of butter tested 98 per cent.
William Schneider, of Albany, was sec
ond with a test of 92 per cent. The
Brandes Creamery Company of Port
land took first on creamery butter,
with a test of 92 per cent. This was a
116 cash premium.
There is a splendid display of cheese,
the Red Clover Creamery Company, of
Tilliimook, taking first premium with
a score of 95 per cent. P. Schwlngel.
also of Tillamook, took second, scoring
92 per cent. W. D. Gladwell, of Beaver,
Or., was third with a score of 91 per
cent. The premium for the best display
of cheese, other than American, was
won by the Hazel wood Company of
Portland.
There is a large display of condensed
milk this year, several of the exhibitors
making a display for the first time.
This list includes the Scio Condensed
