FINE STEEDS FOR MOUNTS Special Features on Programme Con. si&t of Two-Mile Race and Two Mile Relay Race W hich W ill Be Run by Quarters. These are busy days in Hunt Club cir cles. The annual Spring: meet is only three weeks distant, and three weeks is a very short time in which to get a horse ready for a race. The general pub lic has little knowledge of the amount of care and work there is connected with tills fascinating sport. Naturally most of this centers about the horse. He must be well cared for, properly dieted. regularly worked and exercised, and in short put In first-class condition to stand the terrific strain to which he will be subjected in a race. Moreover, training for this one day's racing differs from training for a season's racing. He must be worked up gradually, and be right at the top of condition on that day; other wise he cannot do himself justice. But the horse is not the only one that needs training. The rider must also be in form. It looks easy, this sitting upon the bark of a high-mettled, steel-mewed, etnneh-hearted thoroughbred, as he comes striding like the wind down the stretch to the wire. But It is far from being the snap that it seems. To get him off right at the post, to catch him in his stride and keep him there, to keep him straight and true, and to pace him in accordance with the distance he has to run all this requires, hardened arm, leg and back muscles, a steady hand, a clear head, and an unwavering nerve. : These things the members of the Port land Hunt Club are now at work on dally. The horses are being conditioned at the track and on the road, and the riders are out morning and evening putting them selves and their mounts in shape. As the iM of June, the day set for the meet at the Ifvlngton race track, draws nearer, their interest Increases and their work grows more and more systematic- Eight Races This Year. There will be eight races this year, and everyone of them will be Worth going miles to see. Many thoroughbreds have been bought during the past year by mem- bers of the club, among them being J. H. Bennett and Stimy. by Mr. Davis; John Boggs, by H. H. Hcrdman; Joe Jewett and Oregon Sunshine, by Scott Brooke; Our Choice, by B. B. Tongue; Paul Jones, by B. M. Lazarus; Jane, by R. H. Jenkins; Can't Tell, by Dr. Cogh lan; Vlnce and Tom Fox, by Dr. Em met Drake: Pat, by Miss Alnsworth. All these speedy horses, in addition to those already owned by members, such as Mor engo, Bernato, Bob Crawford, Oregon Kid, Mike Wisdom, Raclon. Bob Proudy. Call Bond. Jim Budd, Will Wehrung. Bedad, Sunday Mack, Mowitza. Paul, will be seen contesting for the handsome cups offered as prizes to the winners. Besides the usual races which one sees at a racing matinee, the Hunt Club al ways has some special features. This year these will consist of a two-mile race, the greatest event on the programme, end a two-mile relay race, run by quarters. The two-mile race will be a battle royal. Last year Morengo won this In 3:43, re markable time with 186 pounds on his back. But this year that game old horse will have his work cut out for him if he wins. Last year he had only two oth ers to contend with; this year there will he eight or nine. There will be, besides Morengo, ridden by E. M. Lazarus. J. H. Bennett, ridden by Charles Leadbetter: Vlnce, ridden by. Mr. Chapman; Bob" Proudy, ridden by V. S. Howard; Our Choice, ridden by E. B. Tongue: Oregon Sunshine, ridden by R. H. Jenkins: Bob Crawford, ridden by Lou Leadbetter, and Racivon. ridden by Fred W. Leadbetter. A classy field that, and as gamy a lot of racers as those In the Metropolitan han dicap. The horse that wins will know he has been In the race. Two-Mile Relay Race. The other special event Is a decided nov elty. It consists of a two-mile relay race, participated in by eight riders and horses, divided into teams of four. Each man rides a quarter of a mile and carries a flag. At the end of the quarter he passes the flag to a member of his team, who carries It a quarter and passes It on to the third man, who carries It a quarter and passes It on to the fourth. At. the end of each man's quarter he must pull up and return to his starting point and be prepared to repeat that quarter on the second time round. No more exciting anq thrilling race could possibly be de vised, and none more replete with the ele ment of luck, A great deal of practice and, training will be necessary to carry it out successfully. The two teams are already at work practicing the difficult feat, of picking each other up and passing the flag. ' In addition to these, there will be a three-eighths dash, a seven furlongs race. mile run. a five-furlongs sprint, a quarter-mile dash for riders weighing 200 pounds, and a three-eighths pony race for boys under 18 yeara.

Academy Boys at the Head of the League In the Iaterscholastlc Baseball Series. For 15 innings the lads of Columbia tfnlversity and Portland Academybat tled for- supremacy on the baseball diamond at Multnomah Field yesterday morning, in a game which finally went to the-Academy contingent by - the score of 5 to 4. ' It was undoubtedly the finest game of the" ihterscholastlc ' league" "series. Columbia desired to win for the reason that victory would have placed the purple and white defenders In the lead in the race for the pennant, while the success of the Tigers places that club at the head for a time at . least, and gives them a clean score of victories, as they have not yet been defeated. Columbia started out like -a winner, and by taking advantage of the Acad emy errors during the early innings, tallied up four runs. By steady up-hill work the Tigers rallied to the call of their friends, and managed to tie the score in the eighth. Victory came to" the leaders by virtue of a couple of misplays, and a hit by Reed, who scored the winning run. Clark Moore, for Columbia, pitched a splendid game, but was unfortunate in the errors scored behind him, wheif opponents were on the bases. The work: of Troy Myers.

Hoppe, who broke the world's record for high run at 18-inch billiards, two in balk, in his game with Schaefer last night, had the second best grand aver age 27 6-72. Sensational Wlnd-Vp. After a rather listless game this af ternoon between Hoppe and Slosson, which the youngster won, the tourna ment wound up tonight with one of the most sensational matches of the entire series. The .contestants were. Sutton "and Schaefer, and Sutton won with seven innings by the seore of iOO to 143. " . In the fifth ' inning "Schaefer just lacked S points of being 50 ahead of his opponent,' He had completed the period with a run of 104, and looked -at that time to be the winner of the match.

Ixmnsberry Saves Willamette From Being Shut Out by O. A. C. CORVALL1S, Or., May 12. (Special.) MA DEI N IP.. Hf What is more interesting: to think or talk about than GREATER PORTLAND, MADE IN OREGON AND VER NON ? Portland will be greater, and that very soon ; there is nothing better in the world than Oregon-Made goods, and there are going to be great factories built in Greater Portland to manufacture Oregon products into Oregon-Made goods. Then why, not buy property ; in Portland - while you can get it cheap' and on easy terms ? There is no better invest ment in this country than to buy a few lots in Vernon. If you can pay cash it is a good investment, but if you don't have the cash, buy on time, pay. 5 per cent down and 2lz per cent per month. You cannot miss it either way, as we are advancing the price on this property 5 and 10 per cent the first of each month. We can advance it 25 per cent and it will not be as high as other property in the city no better. It is our intention to sell 200 lots more and then take the tract from- the market, so don't wait until it is too late. in the Oregon Agricultural College-Willamette University track team meet this aftrnoon, the, university - lads scored 21 points to 106 by the- Farmers.

He is a man with a hobby; he la a man of unbounded conceit, a man who knows not modesty, and one who will endeavor to Jump into the front rank at the very outset of his Congressional career. Such men don't get far In Congress. Hobson's fad is a big navy, and he would have a navy far bigger than that of any other Nation in the world: oh this subject he far outdistances the Pres ident, who is today more enthusiastic over a big navy than any man in Con VERNON 2082 Phone Main 2707 gress. Hobson wants an appropriation of 32,000,000,000 for building new warships, and he wants it immediately. He made his campaign In Alabama on this issue and told the people that, if they would elect him to Congress, he would get the appropriation.. It is a gigantic under taking for any man; it is doubly great for a new member of Congress. Of course Hobson's efforts will fail, for if President Roosevelt, with all his in fluence, is unable to induce Congress to make even a modest Increase in the navy, it is a dead sure thing that Hobson won't be ableto accomplish anything. How ever, he coming here on that platform, the promise having been given, and, like every other man with a hobby, Hobson will be sufficiently squelched. Think of a new Congressman and a member of the. minority party at that dipping 12,000,000.000 out of the Federal Treasury at a single gralf, when the Judgment of the old and experienced leaders is against anything like such an appropriation. WANT TO DRAIN SWAMPS Southern Members Propose Raid on Reclamation Fund. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, May 12. The expected has hap pened: The Southern States are follow ing the example set by Senator Hans brough. of North Dako(a, and are clam oring for a portion of the National rec-' lamation fund for draining the swamps of their region. Florida wants a large slice of the reclamation fund to reclaim the boundless Everglades, and Representative Slemp, of Virginia, has Introduced a bill setting apart J2.000.000 out of the reclama tion fund to drain the famous Dismal Swamp. It Is but natural that the South ern States, should ask "for a share of the reclamation fund for this purpose, in the light of the action taken by Mr. Hans brough. but, if once they get their hand in by means of special acts of Congress, It will not be-long before the reclamation fund, instead of bejng used to irrigate the arid lands of the West, will be expended almost entirely in draining the swamp lands of the East and South. The injustice of the dtverslon of money from the reclamation fund to drain swamp lands Is emphasized in the c83e of the Dismal 8wamp. Mr. Slemp proposes to give his state the benefit of 2,000,000 out of this fund, yet Virginia has never contributed a single cent to the fund and never will. Of course. North Dakota has contributed to the fund, heavily, in deed, but Mr. Hansbrough proposes to take 21,000.000 out of this fund to drain private swamp land not public land so his bill is as unfair and unjust to the arid West as is the Dismal Swamp bill of Mr. Slemp. This practice of making onslaughts on the reclamation fund through special leg islation is dangerous, and. once the prece dent is established, nobody knows where it will stop. It ls up to Western men in Congress to protect the reclamatin fund from all such attacks as this. Under ". M. C. A. Auspices.
