PORTLAND'S third annual tiorse
ftiow, held at the Oriental Building
t the Lew is and Clark Fair ground
tin5r the auspices of the Portland Hunt
Club has been the finest show of the kind
ever iriven on the Pacific Coast. When
the display of high-bred horses came to
close last nipht many a genuine sigh of
, regret was heard on all aides.
The- exposition was notable not " only
-ar lta society gathering, but also for the
class of the equines entered by prominent
people from all parts of the Northwest.'
Jn a measure it was a triumph for visit
ing owners, but in this it was a lesson,
and one that will undoubtedly prove prof
itable in many resiiects. for it will stimu
late the Portland lovers of horseflesh to
improve their stock and to enter an even
higher grade of show animals in future
shows.
Andrew ' Laidlaw. of Spokane," Wash.,
and D. B. Frederick and J. D. Farrell. of
Seattle, were the moat fortunate of the
out-of-town exhibitors, though Mis Ber
nice A. Baker, of Tacoma, and T. J.
Smith, of Vancouver, B. C," were also
prominent In the prize-winning classes.
One of the most prominent features of
the show was the competition between
two of the Northwest's fair daughters.
Mi's Ellenore Laidlaw, of Spokane, and
Miss Lillian O'Brien, of Portland. Miss
Laidlaw showed her father's horse. Tsar,
a handsome specimen of horseflesh, while
yrj.
Mus O'Brien presented her - own entry,
Flashlight, a handsome black gelding, and
the contest between these two .young
women for the honors was' always
keen. The result was an even break,
for the Judges tendered them an equal
number of prizes, -
Mr. Frederick, who was quite success
ful at former Portland shows, as well as
those throughout the Northwest, was
again here with his stable. Mr. Frederick
seems to be an excellent judge of sound
horseflesh and his entries at tie show
which concluded yesterday were most
successful. ,
One of the most striking features of the
show was the riding and driving of -ittle
Miss Helen Farrell, of Seattle, a young
girl In her 'teens, who handled the entries
from her father's Meadow'srook Farm at
Ronton. Wash., wifh the grace of an ex
perienced horseman. In fact, the riding
and driving of little Mies Farrell was one
of The strongest points of the show.
Another woman driver and rider who
attracted a great deal of attention was
Mis Faille loadbetter, who exhibited sev.
eral splendid mounts and handsomely ap
pointed single and douBle driving entries.
A, feature of the night programmes were
the drills given by the riding classes of
the Portland Hunt Club, given under the
direction of Mr. Von Gilmann. The drills
would be a credit to any nains emu m
AmAIr.a anA fflvnlfV ftffiperft of th
United States Army commended them.

ARCHBISHOP TURNED DOWN
Divine Gets Cool Reception When
Re Tries' to Address Peers.
IXNDON, Oct. 9. (Special.) The
Archbishop of Canterbury some time igo
gave notice that he would bring forward
a motion in the House of Lords on the
report of the Poor Law Commission. It
was expectod, probably not by hlmswlX
alone, that the occasion would be regard
ed as of considerable interest, in view viol
only of his own position, but the im
portance of the subject.
When he appeared on the floor of the
House of Lords the other day he was
favored by the presence of eight Un
ionist peers, five of whom were, in a
sense, compelled to be present.
Under these depressing circumstances,
the archbishop delivered a speech of 90
minutes' duration, in which he charac
teristically confined himself to dealing
with the points on which both reports
were agreed. Lord Crewe, on behalf nf
the government, was unable to promise
any legislation at present, and Lord
Lansdowne did not condescend to say a
word, so that the debate utterly CON
lapsed. It is evident that the Arch
bishop of Canterbury is not conspic
uously popular with any side.
