Iff THIS SUNDAY OKEGONIAtt, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 28, 1902. RAGE MEET AT END Small Crowd Last Day, but Good Sport . ALL FAVORITES BUT ONE WIN Track Too Muddy tor Harness Events DIccon Gives a Special Exhibit tlon Wbitmorc Stables' Success THE WINNERS. Three-fourths-mlle handicap Royalty. Five-eighths mile dash Qulbo. Four and a half furlongs Wallace L. Special Adnor. The Fall meeting at Irvlngton Park racetrack closed yesterday -with four good running races on a muddy track, and -with a very light attendance. From a financial standpoint, the meeting has been a failure; but this was due largely to the lack of publicity given the matter until the last moment and to bad "weath er, although baseball, a strong counter attraction, also interfered with the at tendance. The management, aided by three judges of unquestionable fairness and honesty, has succeeded in pulling on a race meeting strangely free from the taint of Jobbery, which in the past has ruined the sport In this. city. No harnc3 races were offered yester day, the track being too muddy for any thing but the runners. The latter showed up quite favorably, and the first race of the day, the three-quarter-mile handi cap, was one of the best races of the meeting. The talent, which had been rather hard hit for the preceding two days, succeeded in picking three winners yesterday, but fell down hard on the first race. The Whitmore stables, of thl3 city, were quite prominent on the track, a pair of Coloma'e colts winning first and second money in a 4-furlohg dash, while DIccon, in another race, entertained the crowd by running away with his Jockey and circling the track twice before start ing in the five-eighths-mile dash. There being no harness races, the card was put through without delay, and by 5 o'clock the last race was over. Over 100 horses left the city last night for Yakima and Spokane, and the rest of them will follow this morning. Threc-Quarter-MIIe Handicap. There were 11 entries in the first race a three-quarter-mile handicap. , A slip pery track produced an element of uncer tainty that was not conducive to making hot favorites, but Eldred and irate were picked by the talent as pretty sure to show in front. As usual with a big field of horses, some difficulty was experienced In getting them away, but, after nearly half on hour scoring, they made a very good start, with Eldred jumping to the front and Jim Browncll and Little Mlnch coming like a di uble team ahead of the rest of the buncn. Major Hooker in the rear. Near the three-quarter pole Forest Xing and Gypsy Boy passed Eldred, and when they swung into the stretch the King was In the lead, with Gypsy Boy Becond and Brownell third. The latter ncaed Gypsy out for second place at the wire, with Forest King, a Gto-1 shot In the betting ring, winner by a good head. Irate and Eldred, the favorites, finished fifth and seventh, respectively. Flvc-Eightlm-MIle Dash. The second race, a flve-elghths-mlle dastj, brought out a. feature not down on the card. DIccon, one of" the entries with a reputation as a bad actor, ran away and could not be checked until he had circled the trade He lad no sooner got round to the starting post than he repeated the performance. This time hp was checked In front of. the grandstand, and the judges decided that a 1-mlle dash had left him In poor condition for a race; so he was excused. This left Spindle, Maniac, Ida H. and Qulbo to fight it out. The latter was a favorite in the betting, and Justi fied the action of the talent by going out In the lead and staying there. It was a very pretty race, and Ida H., the tail end er, was not more than a length be hind Spindle, who finished third. Maniac was second, the three leaders being only noses apart. Four-nnd-c-Half-Fnrlpngr Dash. There were two entries from the Whit more stables, and two from Swagarfs stable, in the third race, a 4-furlong dash for a purse of 5100, and this quartet, with Plunkett and Sidney B. Hurles, made an Interesting contest. The Whit more etables horse was a favorite at 3 to 5, with Plunkett selling at even money, and as much as 15 to 1 laid against the Swagart stable. Plunkett took a good strong lead at the start, but Will Weh rung overhauled him before they got into the stretch, and In turn was passed by Wallace L.. who was first under the wire, although his stable companion, Wehrung, had he been running in a separate .sta ble, might have nosed him out, so close was the finish. Plunkett was third. The track was muddy, and the horses trav eled quite a distance from the pole, which accounts for the time being no faster. Adnor "Wins the Special. The concluding race of the day and meeting was a special, with six entries, In which Adnor was a strong favorite. His backers were not disappointed, for he won the race with comparative ease, with Miss Nettle and Sunset, the latter a S0-to-l 6hot, finishing in the order named. The summaries follow: Three-quarters of a mile, handicap, purse 1100- Forest King (Dugan 105) 1 Jim Brownell (David 107) ; 2 Gvnsy Bov (Patterson 102) 3 Lltt'.e Mhich. Irate. William F. Eldred.

QUESTION IS: "WHICH YEAR Grand Army Encampment Wanted for Portland in 1004 or 1006. Whether to bid for the National G. A. B. encampment in 1904 or in 1906 Is agi tating a committee of the Board of Trade. The year 1906 seems to be preferred in the councils of the committee. It la ar gued that Portland has not yet enough hotel facilities for the encampment, and probably will not have by 1901. "To care for the visitors who would at tend the encampment would require five times 'as many hotels and boarding-houses as the city has now," said a hotel man yeoterday. "The encampment would bring at least 100,000 people, and wo should have to have hotel accommodations for a great number of" them." After the Lewis and Clark Fair the city would be better equipped for accom modating the encampment visitors. The advocates of the year 1904 do not deny this, but they say that the encampment the year before the fair would prepare Portland for Exposition visitors and help to get the city started in the activity that Is needed to bring the Exposition to a suc cessful issue. The committee Is Agreed that to have the encampment either be fore or after the fair would greatly help the Exposition. It looks as if San Francisco might get the encampment of 1903, for that city Is striving for it In case the Bay City should succeed it Is highly improbable that the G. A. R. would be willing to come to the Pacific Coast, the next year. Besides, Boston ecems to "be in line for 1504. . , TRAVELERS WILL FEAST Their Association Subscribes to Clark Svrord Fund. The regular quarterly meeting of the Travelers' Protective Association was held last evening at the Hotel Portland. In the absence of President A. M. Smith, Vice-President Cuthbert occupied the chair. After much discussion it was moved that the annual banquet be held this year as usual. The temporary chair man announced the gift of $50 from the association to the fund now being raised to present Admiral Clark, of the battle ship Oregon, with a suitable sword. After a detailed statement of the finances of the organization Mr. Cuthbert made his announcement, which was heartily ap plauded. "There Is no better cause to which we can contribute, and I think that this should go on record as the first or ganization which has shown In an official way its appreciation of Admiral Clark's valor," said the chairman. H. M. Ogden asked that steps be taken to improve the train service at Pomeroy, Wash. Other'members told how they had been incommoded by the fact that the depot was a mile out of town, but said that, the town being on a branch road, the passengers were afterward brought through the town once more. Messrs. Ogden and King were appointed to make a complaint to the chairman of the rail road committee. Henry Wittenberg, who was not present. The eating-house at Alabny and the hotel at Medford were discussed, and it was announced that the Southern Pacific had promised to better the eating station. A number of souvenir books that were ordered for the convention last June re main untouched, and a committee was ap pointed to oversee their proper disposal. They will probably be sent to hotels, 'lake steamers, railroads, etc.. in the East The momentous question of the annual banquet was not decided without much discussion. One member stated that all the traveling men he had spoken to on the subject were in favor of it, but Mr. Ogden declercd that he knew of many travelers who cared nothing for the feast. The matter was put to a vote, however, and the prospect of. a delightful repast apparently made all vote aye. The ban quet is always held on the last Saturday night of the year. reasons. His wife is the present matron of the Institution. Whilo the members of the County Court do not admit that such will be the case, it is stated by persons who claim "to be on the inside that Courtney will, take charge of the Poor Farm on October 15. Mr. Courtney is well known, and In the past has been engaged In various business en terprises in this city. He has never held a political office. Judge Webster, when spoken to regard ing the removal of Mr. Hansen, said the matter has not been decided, but admit ted that there might be a change. MANUAL TRAINING.
