THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 10, 1912. 13 ROSE SHOW PLANS FOR 1913 STUDIED Organization for Judging, Pri vate Show and Gift of Blossoms Talked. PORTRAIT OF PORTLAND MAN IS COMPLETED. CLASS LIMIT IS VIOLATED President's Annual Report Declares Modesty Prevents Many Prize Winning Blooms From Being Entered In Exhibit. Suggestions for the next annual Rose Show by the Portland Rose Society. were given at the annual meeting by the president. J. A. Currey. in his re port, his suggestions being based upon the experiences of the 1912 show. The one rose exhibit which was the center piece of the show; the arrange ment of the tables so as to do away with long, straight, formal lines in the exhibits; the organization of the Judges so that their work was completed with the. utmost dispatch; the institution of the private show for members of the Rose Society before opening the doors to the public these were all commend ed and President Currey advised their continuance as features in the 1913 show. He devoted considerable attention to the need of more careful classification of exhibits. Ills report Is in part as In our experience we found a woful lack . of knowledge on the part of exhibitor. a to staging and classifying their exhions. . Th success ol an exhibitor depends as mucn .i..i0. and mftklnr the Drouer entry. as It does upon the fine quality of the blooms There were many entries in mi- ' star's show that were entitled to prises, but they were entend In over-crowded classes in many Instances. The' exhibitors had not stt-dled closely their classification lists IHMiiia'.lfication Often Results. If rests that were entered In certain elarses had been placed In other classes In which tlier cou:d have been entered, they Auuid have received prizes, and it Is this studying of classs anl entering roses In them, that I feel, won several trophies for one exhibitor, rather than the quality of the roses shown, therefore. I wouio. urse encn exhibitor to study closely the classification !it and then after selecting the classes, be careful in your staging. An over number of blooms In a class calling for a certain number of blooms will result In disqualifi cation of the exhibit as quickly as If a less number of blooms than the number called for Is shown. Proper naming of the roses shown la also necessary, and this Is one point that 1 would earnestly call to the attention of the Incoming officers. There Is nothing quite so bad In a rose show as the misnaming of blooma and although it was no fault of the officers ef the 1012 exhibit, there were many roses that were not properly named in the snow. ine otiicera were nm disposed to overlook; such carelessness, but before taking any drastic action and dls ' nnaUfvlTir an exhibit, they submitted the matter to the board of nine Judea The Judges condemned this misnaming or roses in n measured terms, and declared that whether the misnaming had been dona through haste, carelessness, ignorance or effor to secure a trophy. It should not be toleiated. but added that Inasmuch as there was considerable laxity In past shows on this ;oint. they would not disqualify the ex hibit, but allow them to be Judged nnder the rather broad rule In our laws covering the accidental misnaming of roses. They, however, did point out a remedy, and I hope the new officers of the society will follow It. and that la to appoint a staging committee, which, after a rose Is staged, will pass on It for its proper name and number, and If improperly named or numbered, remove It from the exhibit, after the attention of the judges has been called lo It and they officially disqualify It. Finest Base Ineligible. More thsn one exhibitor profited by this year's show and received kindly advice from the Judges, and I will give you Just one Instance. In the Portland Heights display was a most magnificent specimen of a Flor rnce Pemberton. it was buried amid a mass rr other blooms, but Its beauty accidentally caught the eye of one of the fudges. He hd it removed from the general district display, and called It to the attention of the otner judges. All of them were unanimous in declaring It a most wonderful bloom, and undoubtedly it would have been declared tiie br-at rose In the show had It been en tered In some class so that Its name and the owcers name could have been ascer tained. Four of the Judges wanted to gIVe It the trophy for the best rose in the show, but the majority ruled that as It had no name attached, according to the rules, pref ern. had to be given to the one which had the name attached, and It was de clared the winner. The grower of the rose was later found, and her disappointment over the fact that she did not realise what a wonderful flower she had was most keen. 5he had merely sent this rose, with a lot of others, to a district director, to be used for decorative purposes, little realizing that sht had a wonderful specimen. Next year 1 ran assure you she. will not repeat the mistake, but will be an exhibitor, for she. llk hundreds of others in Portland, felt that her roses were not good enough to ex hibit for prizes." That Is one great fault of the average rosegrower. he feels his roses are Inferior and for that reason falls to exhibit, yet the roses in his garden are frequently superior to those of a person who has been exhibit ing for years. 1 can Illustrate this with an incident. The night before the show railed at a house and found tAat the owner and his wife had cut nearly all their rosea to save them from the storm. Intend. Ing to send them to the director of their district for decorative purposes. 1 saw that the blooms were really fine specimens and only after much coaxing did I succeed tn getting the owner to enter them In their various classes. The result was that these roses won six prises. New Exhibits Added. Now the securing of this exhibit was the mrr'st accident and I know that SO other exlilblts could have been made hnd the owners the confidence to make an exhibit. In making the round of the district dis plays while they were being staged. I saw box after box of choice blooms, which had arrived to be used for decorations, and out of these could have been picked many prlzs- Inning exhibits If the growers had only entered them for competition. There were arobably more new exhibitors this year, particularly in the box section, than at any previous show. The number of new exhibitors was also large In the other classes, but in many Instances they Licked knowledge as to what class they should enter, therefore, did not receive trophies, but the number of new exhibi tors who did get trophies was large and this was most gratifying. We also had jteveral out-of-town exhibitors and this was also very pleasing to your officers, who trust that efforts to induce growers In Ore son. outside of Portland, to exhibit, will continue. Among the lessons learned from the 1913 show la that the classification list should be . broadened. Trophies should not be solicited from donors for certain classes that possibly only a few exhibitors can till, but rather your classification committee should start In early and make Its classes and then seek donors for cups, rather than first rtnd the donor and make the class last. The risjwlftratlon list should also be changed so as not to Include so many special roses that are found only in a few gardens. It . should also be broadened so as to Include climbers. Here Is a class of rose that has heen neglected by the society, but I would urge on the new board to give as much latitude as possible to climbers, for almost every kind of climber grows and grows . well In Portland, and Its cultivation should be encouraged. Gift of Blooms Crged. I wish to Incorporate a suggestion from one of the district Clrectors. The matter was called to my attention several times during the show and has since been recalled In a conversation with a director and it Is that provision should be made at the show to sive visitors rosea It was surprising the number cf people who approached your officers and asked them if it were not pos sible to purchase some of the roses, and I Vnow that the district directors were asked the same question many times over and I think that some means can be devised by "saiiien . .

I would recommend to the In coming officers that they take up the mat ter of arranalna for a distribution of flow ers with the district directors and work out some plan that will add to the attractive ness of the show. In the 1912 show we did furnish a very attractive souvenir in the way of a pro gramme that was prepared so that every one could keep a record of the prize-winners. This programme was free of adver tisements and was greatly appreciated, I think, by every visitor to the snow. it cost the rocletv about s.-w to proauce mis programme, but It was money well spent and the fact mat we aia not; iwiai vertlsements to pay for Its cost was some thing that annealed esDecially to the 'mer chants and business people of Portlsnd.

Famous Xew York Artist Makes Three - Quarters - Size Study of Publisher During Stay Here. Amusing Incident Arises. There will be an exhibit this week at the Moore Company's art shop. Eleventh and Alder streets, a painting of H. L. Pittock by Albert Salzbren ner, the famous portrait painter of New York, a man with an International reputation as an artist. It is a three-quarter size canvas, beautifully framed In a massive and or nate frame, ' and depicts Mr. Pittock sitting in his chair, holding a lead pen cil, somewhat symbolical of his calling. This was the conception of the artist, who had noticed that "whenever I went to see Mr. Pittock, I found him invar iably toying with a pencil." Pirtore True to Life. . To use Mr. Salbrenner's own words, his desire was "to show the gentleman at his editorial chair, with his kind eyes looking squarely into the onlook er's face." , The coloring must have been a pleasure to the artist, for it is so good that it does not remind one of a man already beyond his allotted span, but rather is it full of life, and herein corresponds with the expression of the eyes, in that both show sprlghtliness, humor and life. In marked contrast is the silky white hair, which gives an effect particu larly charming in its vivid contrast to the more sombre color of the apparel. Even the hands show strength of char acter, as well as refinement of feeling. The whole picture is in brilliant but mellow tints, while the atmospheric ef fect of the background in Juxtaposition to the figure is Just what the artist intended to bring about. The tech nique reminds one of the artist's teach ers, Leon Pohie, R. A., of Dresden, and Ludwig von Hoffman, the painter of "The Boy Christ in the Temple." Portland Charms Artist. Mr. Salbrenner has exhibited pictures in all the larger European salons, amoncr them the Paris Salon, in Vienna, at Munich and in Rome, and he has a studio In the Carnegie building, New York... There his work has attracted widespread attention, among the nota bilities who have sat to him being members of the Stuyvesant family, the Havermeyers, and Iselias, Governor Odell and Joseph Kilmer. This Is his first visit to the west, and Portland holds for him an intense charm, despite the rain which greeted him on his arrival. Of a -distinctive American school or painting the artist sees no immediate nrosDect: Europe in general, and Paris In particular, being the home for American art students tor some years still to come. One amusing incident occurred aur- iner the sittings. Mr. PlttocK was-re- auested not to have his hair cut dur ing the whole time, to avoid spoiling the light and shade eiiects. une aay he arrived at the studio, and begged to be allowed to go to a barDer, remara lng, "The men in the office are talk ing about getting up a subscription for me to get my hair cut.

There are Chickerings in -daily use today that were made forty, sixty, yes, eighty years ago. Eilers Music House will pay $300 cash for any full-sized Chickering Piano, upright or grand, no matter how old. If of modern case design and in first-class order, a genuine Chickering is worth a great deal more than the above figure and a correspondingly higher price will be paid in. accordance with . design, appearance and condition of such Chickerings.

The Chickering is sold only by Eilers Music House. no chance whatever for further depre dations.
