Forrest .mlllion. the premier alh 1 tr of tlio ra. itlc Northwest, and an ( rron boy. while running umler the rotors of tlif Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club at the bi imloor meet at Co lumbia I'titvernity yesterday afternoon, clipped two-nfths of a eJeuond off the world's indoor rerord Tor the rw-yard hih hurdles. The evnt whs witnessed by the lHrnent crowd ever assembled at the an nual Columbia jfarnts, and while many went with the expectation of seeing the famous athlete break a record, there was ft fioene, of wild enthusiasm when the re sult of the event was announced. Smlth-on- time was 6 2-5 seconds, while the .old record was 6 4-5. Aside from Smithson's feat, the work of the Inivorstty of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural Collese athletes attracted the tireatent Intercut of the biff crowd as sembled within the larg coliseum. By Jcorlnfl: handily in the tield events and holding its own In the sprints and dis tances, the University of Oregon ran up the highest score and was dclaml the winner of the handsomely engraved ban ner given by the promoters of the meet. The contest between the State University and the "Aeries' was "so close that when the deciding event, the relay race, was run. the utmost excitement prevailed. Interest Centers in Kelay. Previous to the relay race Oregon had won 36 points and the Oregon Agricultural College was second with 33 points. Ore gon's victory in this event came only after one of the prettiest struggles ever eeen on the Columbia track. Moores and Ixoney were the competitors in the first lap and the veteran Oregon runner had a light advantage when he tagged Kiitz, who was given a hard race by -Captain Greenhaw, the second man of the "Ag gies. " Greenhaw struck Steiwec so hard at the finish of the stretch that " Steiwer had a bad start and Oberteuffer. of Ore gon, held a decided advantage which he pave to Roid, one of the strongest thin ners who ever represented Oregon, and who flnitihrd tho race. Schroeder. the O. A. C. runner, who had previously cap tured the :n!0-y.'ird dash, made a whirl wind finish, but Reid's lead was tjo much, or a handicap to overcome. The Y. M. C. A. team, which took third place, dis played fairly good form, but showed Im-k of training as compared with the col legians. Immediately folowing the relay came t ho sirM-tclitl hieH hnrillA rui' fx1 twf.n For- rest Smith son and Kberlc Kuy Kendall, of J the University of Oregon, in which Smith son broke the world's record, that he had tied In the regular race a few moments before. The Multnomah star got such a good start that some of the spectators be lieved he had beaten the gun. but the officials decided it viw a fair test. Walter fi-oartn. one of the timers, had caught Smlthson at 6 1-5 seconds, while Kirby. Fechhelmer and Pammasch each had 6 2-5 seconds, which was allowed. Ties rteoortl in Dash. Several heats were run in the 50-yard dash. George Gammie of the Multnomah Club succeeded in winning the tlrst heat, hut in the finals he did not take place. The event was won by Smithson In 5 2-5 seconds, which tips the Northwest indoor record. Huston, of Oregon, took second, and Dent, of West Side High School third. MouIIcn of Oregon won the pole vault ovr Swann of O. A. C. Swann, on the third trial at Moullen'e mark, got a nasty fall, the pole breaking. He was not seri ously injured and participated in other evnt. Tyler Smith, the only representative of -Multnomah besides Smith on to show in any of the events, ran an exceptionally good rav in the 44o-yard dash, taking third. Re;( of Oregon whs tirnt and Greenhaw of O. A. C. second. Greenhaw was in poor condition for the meet. Tniirrer Heater advised him to remain out of the rventp. hnt Greenhaw was anxious to stremithfn his team against Oregon. Herbert, an Astoria. High School lad. surprised many of the followers of field sjtorts by taking nond place in the high jump, in which he beat Smithson. but was defeated by hayman of O. A. C. Wolff, of O. A. C, succeeded in rapturing the ybotput. the only event in which he competed, with a put of -41 feet, establish ing a Northwest indoor word. Involt. the O. A. C. distance runner, was easily the .star in the half-mile and mile events, and won each with comparative ease. He displayed more endurance than the other entries, due probably to training in cross-country runs. ..Juniors Slunv lp Well. Mom than passing interest was shown in i ho performance in the aciidemSc events, frofessor Robert Krolin. who whs one vf the officials, was greatly pleaded with tlie showing of the youngsters. . Joe Campbell was the Mar iier former for i o lumbia. After winning his heat ami t3.e .semf-iiripl in the academic 210-yard dah. Canifbei yme to t lie front strongly and also won the final. Campbell was the last man for Columbia in the junior relay and scored anot h-r victory. The biir crowd was an evidence of the continued popularity of track athletics. Columbia's work in promoting these an nual tragic meets is meeting with great sucee?. Columbia took up track ath letics when the sport had declined to such an extent that hardly a handful of peo ple would attend a meet. By steadily working along this line and giving hand some prizes each year, the institution has succeeded In creating enough interest in these events to make the annual meet a financial as well as an athletic success.

Andrew R. Blakely, proprietor of the St. Charles Hotel in New Orleans, who died last Friday, visited Portland for the last time about two years ago and was the guest of his old-time friend, Tom Richardson. Mr. Richardson received a " letter three days ago from Mr. Blakely, in which the veteran hotel man compli mented the manager of the Commer cial Club and gave good-natured chaff concerning his enthusiasm over Port land. There was no reference to the writer being in ill-health and the news of hia death came as a shock to his friends In Portland. Members of the Elks fraternity re call that when the Grand Lodge was about to be entertained In New Or leans a voting plan was started to raise funds and for a dol.lar the voter was permitted to name hia choice of the homeliest man in the city. In a spirit of fun a combination was formed to vote for Mr. Blakely. with the re sult that he wan' "elected" almost unanimously The prize was a fine piano, and' when it was' awarded Mr. Blakely he promptly turned it over to one of the charitable institutions of New Orleans. He always referred to this estimate by his fellow-citizens In all his public utterances, and appeared proud of the distinction in which he was held by his friends and neighbors, fully, etider standing the back-handed compliment. Where 100 to ISO people live to the square mile t'.ie death rate averages lit per KiOO. Where there are over :t00 to the square mile the death rate increases to 24 per 1000.
