AM kinds of weird stunts, such as Ad men only could contrive whll pre paring for a banquet and Jinks for their fellow artisans, followed on an other In quirk succession during th evening, keeping the main i'.nlng-room of th Commercial Club, where th af fair took place. In an uproar. When the event came to a close late in the evening with three lusty cheers and a hoarse tiger for Portland, the visitors departed fully satisfied that th Portland Ad Men's Club under stands well the art of entertaining. In attendance were about 400 adver tlsleg men from all over the North west, who rim here early In the week to attend the ninth conrentlon of th Ad Men's organisation and to take part In ths Rose Festival. A number of business people of the various cities of tht Northwest were special guests. DeeeraflMS Are lalejue. Decorations were unique, th adver tising Idea being carried out In most amusing fashion. On th celling were large printed editions of ttve Portland newspapers, each paper being repre sented with a front-page display that spread over a third of the celling. Large black headlines related stories of scandals and incidents connected with the admen's convention and th doings of th Admen and others during th convention. Bordering th papers war artlstlo floral decorations Illumi nated with small Incandescent globes which cast a dull blue has over the banquet room. Th tables were covered with roses and large Potlatch bugs and Tacoma tigers glared on the scene from every nook and corner. Fa a Besjlas Early. When the guests were seated at :10 o'clock the fun began. The hosts put In their appearance In long green dunce raps and flowing robes of white. They danced the "Texas Tommy" about the room for about ten minutes, cut ting jp all kinds of funny antics. They were joined by the Seattle crowd all attired In spotlessly whit uniforms and 41 marry seen ensued ending only when the "eats" were ushered In and the banquet was called to order by A. O. Clark, president of the Portland Ad men's Club, who presided. The first stunt on the programme Ttaa Introduced suddenly when the first cours had been disposed of and th llghta flickered and went out, as though by mistake. A flash of light ning swept over the room and In one end two curtains dropped, exposing on one sld a large-slsed hell, with all the red fire, fury and Imps and tor tures and on the other an equally big heaven. In the lieaven tableau Saint Peter and Gabriel, beautifully attired In pur white, prrslded over a gathering of angels and th Judgment book. On th other side was the devil in all his fury, with fir spitting from an ugly looking tall and th end of a pitchfork and Imps and fiery-ered dragons wrig gling about hideously. Devil Does Big Baslaeaa. Gabriel ushered up various Admen and pronounced Judgment. Safe to say. none was admitted to th aerena nnd peaceful abode of the angels. The Devil, with his glaring pitchfork, did a rushing business. The scene was Intensified by Admen being pitched headlong Into the fiery furnaces, where all that could be seen of them after wards was an occasional puff of red smoke and a few hideous groans. Teddy Roosevelt, with all his pomp and boldness of front, could not gain more than a casual hearing before th Judgment seat. And he did his best So did Taft. and he got the same re ception. The hell and heaven scene was writ ten and staged by M. Mosessohn. R. W. Raymond took the part of Saint Peter. Marshall N. Dana as Gabriel. Jeorge W. Joseph, Satan: Jimmy Dunn. R II. Lerner. imps; Mrs. Sullivan as liarplst In the heaven scene, and M. MoKesshon as the guardian angel.

Th programme shifted occasionally from th wlerd to th sublime and even to th patriotic. A company of ballet girls from th Oaks staged a novel act which brought them all kinds of applause and a shower of roses and a bevy of the wives and sweethearts of the visitors paraded through the hall dancing and singing. 'In the midst of the hilarity a crowd of newsboys all out of breath and In tensely excited rushed into the room snd began distributing extras of The Oregonlan. A special Ad Men's edition full of fun and "take-offs" on the ad men and their friends was printed and passed around, causing great amuse ment and adding much to the hilarity of the occasion. Above the din of the merrymaking could be heard the singing of festival songs prepared for the occasion.
