The deluge of humanity which burst
upon Portland yesterday nearly flooded
out the streetcar company. Every
car, little and big,; every piece of roll
ing stock the company could find, was
pressed into service to handle by far
tbe biggest crowd in Portland's his
tory. Every motormaa and conductor
In the city, regular men and extra
men, day shifts and night shifts, were
worked without opportunity for rest
or..neals from 6 o'clock- yesterday
morning until late last nignt. Bo Heavy
was the-, rush that it was - impossible
to obtain from the streetcar officials
even an estimate of the number
handled. It is probable, however, that
the number was four of five times
that handled on ordinary days. That
the day should pass without accident
la remarkable.
Nlaa-taaadiwd Car Men Were treed.
Nine hundred streetcar men were on
duty all day yesterday and between
400 and BOO cars were in use.
On an ordinary day 150 cars are in
use, and the day and night shifts over
lap each other, so that both are on
duty between 4:30 and 6:30. But yes
terday it was Impossible even to give
the-men time to eat.
More than that, the cars were
crowded both ways all day. The ruuh
for the center of town to witness the
parade had no longer ceased than the
rush to the ball grounds, Multnomah
field. Council Crest and other points
of interest began.
Every restaurant in the city was
crowded, and until late in the after
noon it was almost impossible to ob
tain a meal without waiting for a long
time in line.
Intervrbaa Lines Buy.
Interurban and street railway lines
also did a record business. At . the
Union Depot three ' or four times the
ordinary business was done. On an
ordinary day 28 trains move each way,
56 in all. All these were loaded to
capacity yesterday, and in addition
specials arrived from Aberdeen,. Pen
dleton, Albany and . two- from Seattle.
A train from Astoria came in oyer the
North Bank with 300 visitors and one
left from the Union Depot for Seaside
at 5:60 loaded to capacity. -
A. special bearing New Jersey dele
gates to the convention left for Cali
fornia at 8 o'clock .last night. San
Francisco train No. 13- went In, two
sections, loaded. The O.-W. R. N.
train for -Chicago also left in two sec
tions and was filled to capacity.- The
same was true 'of train No. 12 for Spo
kane and Northern .Pacific No. -802,
which left for Seattle at 11:16. - O.-W.
R. & N. No. -364 for Seattle also -left
in two sections of 13 cars each heav
ily loaded. The Pullman ooaohes will
average 32 " passengers each and the
regular coaches; about 60 passengers
each. ".' '
In addition 'to these' trains' the Elks'
special for Seattle left over the O.-W.
R. ft N. at 11:45. the Elks' special for
Aberdeen over the same road at mid
night and the Knights of Columbus
special of 12 cars for Yellowstone
Park over- the O.-W. R. & N. at 10
o'clock last night.
Stop-over XUarbts Enjoyed.
All' the regular trains which have
come in since last Sunday have been
loaded with all the cars the engines
oould haul.
Many of the Elks are planning to
make side trips, there being many in
quiries about Seaside, and other points
of interest. Most of the tickets allow
stop-over privileges until September.'
The Oregon Electrlo Bailway Com
pany handled twice as many people
yesterday as on ordinary days. ; It is
estimated that at least 10,000 pas
sengers were moved. On ordinary days
44 trains are run, but 60 were in op
eration yesterday, with four additional
train crews at work. -

forts of Rival . Teams Are v
Harked by Precision.
"Oh, you Denveryou're there,"
screamed 4000 . persons, who had
witnessed the excellent drilling by
four teams, after the Judges had an
nounced 'that the Colorado city had
won first prize." The competitive tests
were held on Multnomah Field yes
terday afternoon.
Oakland drill team won second prize,
while .the "poppy . pickers", from Los
Angeles took third. First prize was
$500, second. -$300. and: third, $200.
San Francisco entered a team and
made a fine - showing, but failed to
pull down a prize,, .However, the work'
of the team called lortn great applause
from the big crowd. The only thing was
that the critical and trained eyes of
Captain Griffith and Lieutenants Endi
cott and Miller. U. S.. A-, the Judges,
were trained on the teams and senti
ment did not count for anything ' in
the- awards. It was strictly a case
of merit and the decisions were -met
with cheers and the losers were "good
ones." -.
Many . -Women There.
Four-thousand people, many of them
women, assembled in .the. big" grand
stand and waited the arrival of the
Judges, who reached the field an hour
late. Meanwhile,, the teams ' from
Denver, Oakland and San Francisco
kept the crowds cheerful by generous
use of their vocal powers, singing and
giving yells. .
Denver made an instantaneous hit by
Its - singing of - comical airs and ' its
yells, and was followed by the others,
who did clever stunts until called onto
the field by the arrival of the- Judges.
Every company commander was con
fident ot .winning first prize, The. men
were equally so.
- "Have you a fighting chance to win?"
was asked of Colonel J. K Rltter, in
command of the Oakland team by an
enthusiastic - watcher. ,
"Fighting chances," he replied, "why,
there's nothing to it we will win c the
first prise.". .- .
Teams' Are Confident. : -.
"What Is 'the " secdnd; prize,"- asked
some one- of Captain Osterin,; 'com
manding the San Francisco: company.
"We don't know: anything about the
second prize," he" said. "We only con
sider the first prize."
' And both men meant what they said;
They simply ' went up against better
teams,. 3t 'Vaa 'not thatther".wera
