QUITE naturally, the Uorae Show
nai tti one dominating event of
the ntk. and It Is taking no liber
ties with the language to say that It mas
the most uplendld affair of the kind that
tlie North raotflc Coast has ever been
privileged to me. The ahowlng of equine
aristocracy, according to experts, was
unexcelled, and certainly the social fea
ture could not have been Improved upon.
The tournouts exhibited could hardly
have been excelled outside of the wealthy
Atlantic seaboard cities, where several
generations of horse fanciers of Inde
pendent means combine, to secure a cer
tain tone and excellence that could not
nell be duplicated In the Western world.
Ixical society fairly outdid itself In a
commendable effort to make the affair
one that whs worthy the city and Its clti
senship. Tiie incidental entertaining was
on a much more elaborate scale than
ever before known In this section. Par
ticularly noticeable were the elaborate
tnilettes. the display of gowns and
jewels being really very handsome. The
boxes WTre brilliant with handsomely
gowned women, and there was a degree
of Informality manifested which brought
those who attended into a delightful cam
araderie which was lacking last year,
and which contributed very measurably
to the enjoyment of the show.
The number of supper parties that were
given in the grills was so great that In
dividual mention Is a practical impossi
bility. All X)f the well-known supping
places were elaborately decorated, and
especial efforts were apparent in all of
tliem to make their catering as near per
fection aa could be desired.
Socially, the Horse Show will go down
in local annals as the most delightfully
conducted affair in the city's history.
President ilcOrath and his associate of
ficials contributed so largely to this suc
success that they cannot be too highly
commended, and the co-operation of local
society is a source of the greatest satis
faction. Mrs. 'William Larid has sent out cards
for a musical on Wednesday, which Is to
he given In compliment to Mrs. Henry
lddd Corbett.
Mrs. W. J. Burns Is expected early this
week from Europe. Coming across with
Mrs. Burns were Mr. and Mrs. George
Hood and Miss Frances lewls, who have
had a delightful trip on the Continent.
Mr. and Mrs. GooJe and Miss Lws en
route home will visit several days in
Kansas Oty with Mr. and Mrs. Sherman
Hall (.Mlsa Clementine Iewls.
John Barrett. ex-lnlted States Minister
to 9iam. and chief of the Bureau of
American Republics, has been In Portland
during the pas' week, and has been the
recipient of many attentions. He has
been a regular attendant at the Horse
Eiiow. and has delivered a number of
addresses before local commercial bodies,
ilr. Barrett waa formerly a Portland
newspaper man, and has many warm
friends here. In recent years he has
filled a number of important diplomatic
poets under the Government, and Is
properlv accounted as one of the fore
most International diplomats of the day.
His work as head of the Bureau of
American Republics has attracted world
wide attention, and he is regarded as one
of the most Important members of the
present administration. Mr. Barrett will
leave the city the first of the week for
Seattle, where he will Investigate the
work that has already been done on the
forthcoming exposition.
Mrs. J. Wesley Ladd will be the host
ess at a luncheon Saturday, which she
Is giving for Miss Kffle Houghton, a
bride-elect.
The attractive Miss Judith Minor, of
Seattle, who Is invariably the motif for
entertaining. Is for the time being a
(jest of Captain and Mrs. William Bld-
dle. though she shortly leaves for a
visit with Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Kerr.
Miss Minor Is a brilliant girl who has
seen much travel and she Is In addition
