GREAT FAIR CROWDS AT
SALEM NICELY HANDLED
Perfect Day Brings Tremendous Throng Everything Works Without
Hitch Secretary Lea Gets Loving Cup Races Are Good.
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
SALEM. Or., Sept. 25. (Special.)
Another perfect day as to weath
er and another tremendous crowd
is the record of the state fair for the
fourth day. How many were on the
ground only the records will show,
but there were many more than on
AVednesday. Some of the directors
estimated the number at 42,000. which
seems a reasonable guess. The won
der is great at the attendance, but
greater still at the perfect order pre
served and the smooth way in which
the crowd was handled. Never have
I attended a fair where for four days
there was not the least hitch or dis
pute. It might almost be said that
nothing in the way of a quarrel,
squabble, or even misunderstanding
has thus far marred the harmony of
the proceedings.
There were some very pleasant
features in the grandstand to
day. One was the presentation
to Secretary A. H. Lea, by his
friends among the exhibitors and
patrons of the fair, of a splendid sil
ver loving cup. Starter McNair made
the presentation from the judges' box,
in which he paid the secretary some
well-deserved praise for the lack of
all friction in handling the affairs
incident to the meet.
Lea' Home Wins.
This presentation was made just
after Secretary Lea's horse, Valentine
Jr., had won the second race, a 2:15
pace, in three straight heats, mak
ing the fast time of 2:09, 2:091,4
and 2:09'. The crowd asked for a
speech from Mr. Lea in response
to the words of Mr. McNair, but he
only bowed and bowed and smiled.
Another pleasant feature was the
placing of a beautiful floral horse
shoe on the winner of the Oregon
derby, a mile and an eighth run.
There were five contestants and the
race was won by a short neck, while
the third' horse was about the same
distance behind the second horse.
Miss Sovereign, owned by B. J. Bag
ley, being the winner."
The wreath was placed on .he win
ner by Miss Cumming. daughter of
Dr. Cumming of Portland.
This was Elks' day, but I do not
think the Elks were as much in evi
dence as was ' expected. I supposed
by adding the Salem members to the
great crowd from Portland, that
Elkdom would have its colors on
every hand, but the members were
rather lost in the crowds.
Portland Band Helps.
The musical programme was helped
out today by the Multnomah LJuard
ban,d of Portland, they being placed
in the grandstand, while Tommasini's
band occupied the timer's stand in
the track area, opposite the judges'
stand. So we had excellent music all
day and plenty of it. although on sev
eral occasions the crowd insisted on an
encore. I mentioned in a former dis
patch that the automobile races sched
uled for Monday did not take place.
It seems at the behest of the horse
men they were simply put over until
Saturday, so as not to injure the track
for racing. It is said that there will
be some noted drivers here and that
exciting events may be looked for to
morrow. Friday there will be several
good races, among them a 2:20 trot
for Oregon horses. This will bring
out several horses that fiave had no
track experience, and it will be close
ly contested, the purse being $1000.
When the 2:12 trot, which was set
down in the premium list for today
but was not run on the day's pro-
I gramme, will be run, X have not
learned.

Watahmelon an' Chicken
Fade Into Soup 'n' "Slum."
Pretty "Waitress" Taken Prlnoner'a
Order, Trust r Brings It.
H ordered watahmelon an'
ZTjL chicken, an' dey brought me
soup!"
The heart of Harry Anderson, col
ored and 17, was heavy. He lay flat
on the stomach he had expected to
distend with a menu fit for a king, or
a southern darky, and moodily sur
veyed an inquisitor outside the bars
at the county jail. Something had
gone wrong with his scheme for the
future and he blamed the world. Sus
picion that a practical joke had been
played on him by jailers with a sense
of humor never entered his dusky
head. The solution of his troubles
which appealed to him was that some
one had stolen his dinner, and he sus
pected Jailor Tichenor.
Had not Anderson been' told that
the county jail really was nothing
more than a big hotel, operated by the
county for the benefit of the unfor
tunates within its walls? Had he not
been assured that anything he or
dered for luncfl or dinner would be
brought to him without delay? Had
not a pretty waitress taken his order
and written it on a pad in her hand?
Had he not replied to a question as
to how long he would stay in Sheriff
Hurlburt's hotel, that "forevah"
would be too short, if he could order
what he desired for his meals?
The disappointment which bit into
the colored boy's soul can best be
grasped by a glance at the meals he
ordered, for which was substituted
soup and stew:
Luncheon Two bunches celery,
well-done T-bone steak, brown gravy,
lots of onions, sweet potatoes (yams),
cherry pie.
Dinner H a 1 f watermelon, fried
chicken, dumplings and gravy, raisin
pie, chocolate ice cream.
A young woman newspaper re
porter doffed her jacket and took the
order in the most approved waitress
style. Every 15 minutes thereafter
Roy Kendall, jailer, was summoned
to Anderson's cell, who is being held
for a short time on a vagrancy
charge.
"Man, ah wanta know, when do ah
eat?" insisted the colored boy.
"Just a few minutes more," Ken
dall would assure him.
Then, "Here he comes," as the foot
steps of a "trusty" were heard patter
ing down the corridor. Anderson
licked his lips in anticipation and pic
tured the steaminj platter of good
things to eat.
Then appeared the soup and stew.
