th number of tickets sold during the

and place tha goods on sal yesterday.
By th old method, when good had to

As soon aa th low fare rolonlst season
opens which will be March 10 the volume
or paaeenger as well as freight buslnesa
Into the new territory will ha greatly

out the period during which tha reduced

who expect eventually to become citizens

Inquiries of prospective wt tiers snd
colonists seem to be directed principally
to Central Oregon this year on account
of th prominence given tola auction
through tha opening of two new rail
V.nea wrier core ever had been before.
Although the ultimate destination of th
colnntst who comes from th Eat to
th West csnnot be effectively gauged. It
to believed that the attention that the

the railroads and tha reading public gen

Pleasing and Instructive Entertain
merit at Riding- Academy Thrills
Throng Polo Game Is
Night's Big Surprise.
Great encouragement .was (lvn the
horse and tha work being carried on by
tha humanitarians of Portland, last
night, when nearly 1000 persona attended
th first annual equestrian ntertaln
msnt for th benefit of the Oregon
Humane 9ociety. at Kramer's Riding
Academy, at Sixteenth and Jefferson
streets. , It Is thought that the "enter
tainment raised about 3600 for the so
ciety. A success in every way, the entertain
ment of last night will go down In the
history of Portland equestrianism as one
of th best amateur performances ever
held. Novelties were introduced and the
familiar riding evolutions were per
formed more neatly than at any other
how, making tbe entertainment not
only pleasing, but instructive as well.
Although they were given much promi
nence In the programme and were carded
aa th first event of the programme
members of the Portland Hunt Club who
promised to give the drill nicely exe
cuted by them last year at the Society
Circus, did not present themselves, dis
appointing many spectators. No reaoon
was advanced to the officiate of the en
tertainment for their non-appearance.
However, the show went on without them
with but little delay and the later
events made up for any deficiency that
this dlsaoDolntmertt may have caused.
"Beginning with a riding exhibition by
the Thursday Evening Club, the enter
tslnment was one full of snap, vigor and
expertnesa. Nearly a dozen riders ap
peared In the drill and performed many
difficult maneuvers and the horses all
kept step to the music First the drills
were given in a waUc and then they were
Increased to a gallop, ending with a
grand sweep, the horses trotting as fast
as the small ring would permit them.

The riders and horses were cheered for
their work.
Next came a new gams on horseback
called Jeu De Barre. Just why It Is so
called was not explained. The players
were E. C. Grelle. F. H. Strong and
Henry Wesslnger, mounted upon spright
ly ponies. Each was bedecked with a
badge of ribbon, with another of similar
coJor in a pocket on his shirt. The point
of the game was to remove from the
pocket this badge. No little skill in
horsemanship was shown.
Following this was the real Innova
tion in local horsedom. It was a game
of polo, the first ever played in Port
land, between the Portland Polo Club
team, composed of Chester Murphy, H.
L. Corbett and Thomas Monks, and the
Oregon Freebooters, composed of Wil
liam Walters, En gene Openhelmer and
Harry Kerron. The game was played
in four quarters of four minutes each.
Equipped with long-handled mallets,
the players assailed a small hardwood
ball, trying to place It between lines
painted on the wall. After a great deal
of exciting play Chester Murphy scored
first; Mr. Corbett was next and Mr.
Murphy again scored the first half.
In the second half Mr. Kerron was
forced to retire, C. II. Norlin and J.
E. Wiley alternating in his position for
the third and fourth quarters. The
score was: Portland Polo Club, S; Ore
gon Freebooters, 0.
Probably the prettiest bit of riding
and drilling of the evening- was the
exhibition by members of the chil
dren's rldlnff class, headed by Master
Biddle. The group was composed of
four girls and two little boys mount;!
upon ponies. They received great p
plause. .
A one-act comedy was introduced when
Miss Hassenfuss Fatty (T. L. Stock) took
her first riding lesson. This was a
scream from beginning to end, with Mr.
Stock exhibiting clever riding as . a
finale.
Then there was a potato race between
Misses Angela Kinney and Marjorle
Lew's. Miss Lew's fell In trying to
remount her horse, but was up quickly,
unhurt, and won the race, because of
Miss Kinney's inaccuracy in dropping po
tatoes into tbe bucket. Next was the
novelty race, with J. P. Cronin, C. H.
Norlin and J. Wiley competing. This
was another laugh-producer, the men
finishing the race carrying suitcases and
open umbrellas, while they were garbed
in nightshirts.
The high-Jumping contest was last.
Oregon Frank, with Eugene Oppenheimer
up, won first place by jumping 4 feet, 3
Inches. William Walters' crack mount,
Frank, refused to jump, while H. L.
Corbett, astride his Cloanthls, made a
good appearance. As finale to the Jump
ing exhibition Mr. Walters and Mr. Op
penheimer sent their borses together
over the bar at 4 feet. 2 inches.
Music for the evening was furnished
by the Musicians' Mutual Association.
Mr. Kramer donated his riding academy
and there was virtually no expense to
the entertainment. Many society folk
were present. Lieutenants F. B. Up
ham, A. B. iBudd and S. W. Scofleld, U.
8. A., acted as officials for the polo
game and Jumping.
