Passengers Express .P-cligh: Ovr Experience Hotel Man in Lootihe.Looi Stunt. The rose, in its full beauty of form, coloring and fragrance, such as only the Portland climate and soil can pro duce, is holding the admiration of thou sands of Portlanders and visitors this week at the annual exhibition of the Portland Hose society, held at the audi torium. The rose show opened yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock with hundreds of the choicest blooms ever seen here on exhibition. The climatic conditions this year have been unusually favor able for rose culture, and the time for the rose exhibition could scarcely have been chosen with better results. The warm weather of a short time ago gave the bushes a strong growth and the mild and slightly damp conditions of the past few days brought out a wealth of substance to the blooms. Testout Display Luc, Portland's old favorite, the Madame .Caroline Testout, was in preponderance at the rose show and some wonderful baskets of this great outdoor grower were on display. Hundreds of the newer varieties were on exhibition as single blooms and attracted wide at tention because of their rich yellow, burnt orange and terra cotta colorings. The orange colorings with gold glow ing at the base of the petals have been unusually popular among amateur and professional growers, and such varieties as the new Los Angeles, Harry Kirk, Duchess of Wellington, Ophelia and Madame Eduard Herriet were studied with interest by hun dreds of rosarians. Some wonderful blooms of Melanie Soupert were on exhibition, some of these measuring over two feet on the stem and possessed of unusually bril liant leathery foliage. The judging took place yesterday afternoon Just prior to the opening of the show, and the ribbons were already attached to the winning exhibits when the doors were thrown open to the public. At 1 o'clock the exhibit was oponed especially for the Portland Kosarians and their friends, and at 1:30 the goddess of victory of the fes tival and her court visited the beauties of roseland. The exhibit occupied the north and eouth halls of the auditorium, half of the display being in the south hall un der the direction of J. A. Currey and the other half in the north hall under Mrs. W. C. Seachrest. The stage and other parts of the building were beautifully decorated with roses, ferns, iris and pe onies, making the auditorium a veri table fairyland of flowers. Iuring the afternoon yesterday music was fur nished by an orchestra under the direc tion of George Jeffrey, and this after noon the eatures will be organ selec tions by Fred Goodrich and W. R. Boone. Mrs. J. Curtis Simmons, secre tary of the Portland Rose society, has charge of the musical arrangements for the occasion. In judging the blooms the usual standards of size, shape, color, stem and foliage were taken into consideration. The prizes this year were sterling sil ver vases and baskets donated by a number of Portland citizens and busi ness houses, and by the Portland Rose society. Amateur Division. Section A.

The Rose Festival has always been an annual show feature with citi zens of the Harbor, but the added fea tures this year are proving an irresist ible magnet. China Protests Invasion. CHICAGO.

They were passengers in Curtissarmy nlanes that soared high into the clouds from tin aviation field at the Eas.t moreland municipal golf course, and experienced some of the sensations en countered by America's heroes who played such an important rart In the winning of the war. Thero was no expression of disappointment from those who went aloft. All admitted that the airship route was a most en joyable one to travel, and were prompt in denying the statement of someone who has been quoted as saying that there were no new sensations due those who fly. Ouida Herlihy. representing the Ore gon Woman's Magazine, received a larger portion of thrills yesterday than three of her fister vewspaper women who accampanied the aces. She was a passenger with Colonel Watson, whose maneuvers included nose dives, tail spins, looping the loop and various othrr hair-raising drops and glides known technically only to those who arc as much at home in the air as on the ground. Following the flight with passengers, members of the army squadron spent nearly an hour showing festival visitors suuadron maneuvers, such as were In vogue during the war. Six of the planes were In the air at one time, five of them participating in a giant "V" which made its way hither and tbither above the city. Weather Not Favorable. Weather conditions were not alto gether favorable for aviation, and low temperature caused some discomfort to the passengers. In spite of heavy clouds that threatened rain, several of the flyers reached a height of 3200 feet or more. Two exhibitions of fancy flying were given by naval aviators who arrived with the Flagship Minneapolis, the first during the forenoon and the second late in the afternoon. Ensigns Mc Murray and Lee were the pilots, mak ing a pretty start from the river near Municipal nock No. 1 and circling until they had reached a height that made their planes look like hawks in the sky. The afternoon flight caused a general blockade on street corners, where pedestrains stopped to watch the maneuvers. The two planes from the Minneapolis, while equipped to start and stop on the water, are taken far inland on the calculation that for every 1000 feet attained in height, the planes may be taken one mile from the river, with assurance of again reaching the water in case of motor trouble. Naval aviators were unaccompanied, owing to regulations against the tak ing of civilian passengers, as is done with the army flyers. Those who were taken for flights yesterday follow: Joseph A. Rourke of Multnomah hotel: Miss E. Pillsbury. 1'ortland News; Miss Mcts McEiroy of city attorney's office; E. C. Brownlce. Oregon Journal; Eva Olllvotti. Alcazar players: J. E. Barry, Portland Rose Fes tival; May A. Norton, Portland Tele gram: Miss Carlotta Reed: Ouida Herlihy. Oregon Woman's Magasine; Edith Knight Holmes. The Oregonian. Insreuiona of Passengers. That the air voyage created some what of an impression is Indicated by the remarks made by passengers upon landing: 12. C Brownlee, representing Oregon Journal: "The person who said there was no new sensation In flying is a boob. If that tn't a new sensation, 1 never experienced one." Miss May Norton, representing Port land Telegram: "It was glorious going up. but it felt like everything was coming up while we were coming down.'" Miss Carlotta Reed: It was wonder ful. We looped the loop, but there was no sensation of sea-sickness. Joseph Kourke, representing Mult nomah hotel; It was the most wonder ful thing I ever experienced. I would not have missed tt for a farm. We looped the loop and stood on our ear. Eva Oliivotti of Alcazar players: -ightened? 1 never was so relaxed in all my life. I just sat back and en joyed it. Vhe only time 1 was startled was whrnjit began to tip sidewise and I thought. "Ye gods, where are we going next?" I enjoyed every minute of the flight. Miss Meta McEiroy. law clerk of city attorney's office: "Yes, it was a new sensation, but one that carried no fright with it. I enjoyed it thorough ly." Miss E. Pillsbury. representing Port land News: "I haven't had time yet to analyze my feelings. I'll tell you all about it in tonight's paper." Those who are delegated to go up to day with the army men are: Mrs. Win nie Braden, Mrs. Ira L. Riggs, George Schalk, James L. Etherldge. Miss Mil dred Simpson, H. J. Blaeslng, Miss Zolo Loe, Sam C. Jaggar, Charles Rudecn,. Charles P. Keyscr. CANADIAN" VETERANS IN" LINE Men Who Served Under British Flag Will March. Canadian veterans will take part in the military parade to be held today.
