Speed Association. This will place Port land on the Northwest race circuit, and result in the Improvement of Irvington track. At a meeting- of the Portland Driving Club, In the Hamilton Building last evening, steps were taken for the appropriate 'entertainment of the dele gates of the Northwest Fair Association - who will meet here on January 7. An appropriation of $150 was made to defray the expense, and a committee consisting of M. D. Wisdom, Our Rosenblatt. A. C Lohmlre, A, F. Nye and & House, was appointed to look after the entertainment of the guests. After transacting some routine business, the club arilourned. and took up the matter of forming a racing club as individuals. : ; -"- LEIGHTON'8 PROPOSITION, Robert Leighton, the secretary, f.f the Northwest Fair Association, explained' the situation and his plans for the racing fu ture of Portland. He stated that soon a meeting would be held for the forming of the Portland Fair and- Speed Association, which would be empowered to hold fairs and race meets. That it would be a lim ited liability company with capital stocK of (25,000, divided Into 1,000 shares of 125 each. Further: , "Irvington Park has been selected as the present headquarters of the company; the lessee of the same, who holds a lease on that property for seven years, has con sented to take stock In tne company for the amount of his annual rent, which 13 11,000 per annum. "Applications for membership in the - V"ir Pnnffiftr IPiilw " IwinAlrfHAn will at once be made, as that association will hold Its-annual meeting. In this city on January 7 next, at: which meeting the dates for the-various fairs and rade meet ings for the season of 190? will Je UlQt- -ted.- :. c. ''In order that the company could com mence and carry On its business during ' the season of 1903, it would be necessary that the sum of at least $8,000 worth of its shares should be subscribed for. "In order to make the premises worthy of the public's patronage, considerable additions and improvements to the prem ises are, I consider,' desirable. Amongst additions contemplated are the enaction of a clubhouse, and private stables for the .accommodation of such members of the Portland Driving and Hunt Clubs -as might wish to avail themselves of. the privilege. A saddling paddocK and shed is much needed, and could be constructed for between $600 and $800. The removal of the present unsightly judges' and, timers' stands and the erection In their place of modern structures would much improve the appearance. The grandstand needs renovating and painting,- and the same- applies to -thVstables." - The- im provements outlined above could all be carried out for the sum of $5,000. "The remaining $3,000 would remain as a guarantee fund, for the payment of purses, etc. Under the most disadvant ageous circumstances as regards extreme tress of weather, .the total loss would not approximate this amount. However, knowing the conditions of all other like associations on this circuit, and the Just ended, I have no .fears but that your association can be made a financial sue cess from Its Inception." r ..-. - - PORTLAND NATURAL CENTER. ' The proposition met with the favor of those present, and Chairman wisdom was authorised to appoint a committee of five citizens to get put and take up the work of organisation. Everyone realized the necessity of action. If the city was to be represented on the race circuit. There are many enthusiastic horsemen in the eity and others who are in favor of good clean turf events. . A great majority of the people realize that Irvington is the natural racing center of tne Northwest, and that good meets here will be of great business advantage to the town. It is thought that Portland will be the prhv elpal wintering point and training ground north of San Ftsnclsesr and at all times be a great selling place. Some of the best horses In the United States have been bred In Oregon, and there is no rea son why some more record breakers should not be turned out. DCTTTWn ...TC- - Over Half a Million a Day at New - Orleans Trark. ' George Bennett, the noted t Memphis bookmaker, who is. now in New Orleans In relation to the winter races on the 3ulf. says: v, - "The country from the gulr of Mexico to the frontier. Is just ablaze with a craze :o bet and iew Orleans will see a reflex r this enthusiasm.

Li J- ninu The Light Heavyweights Have aPicnic, The Field Is Fall of Them Trying to Get Located as Champions The supremacy in the middleweight; or Tight heavyweight, class is the most In teresting problem to be solved in present day pugilism. ' Several candidates of merit are on the field looking for laurels. and all have a claim. The more promi nent of these are Hart, Root. Kid Car ter, "Philadelphia" Jack O'Brien, Tommy Ryan and George Gardner. Each ot these gentlemen has a chance with the other. when they happen to come together, for the simple reason that with an ot tnem, save possibly Jack O'Brien, It is a mere Question of aolnar in and handing the enemy the hardest blow first. If you re ceive that "wbIIud" right, whether you are Kid Carter or James J.' Jeffries, it is of the convincing type. The division em. braces that class of the fighting world which, believes in the punch as an alternative- from.7 science. In this -respect it differs from ;every other class of the game, and It is perhaps this factor which lends an Interest to their battles. How ever satisfactory a scientific battle may; be, it is nevertheless a certainty that the rabble wants gore when it goes to see a fight. It is not nice to say; but that is frequently a' drawback about truthful statements, and partly accounts for the Infrequency with which we encounter them. AN EVEN BREAK. Which of this fighting division has the better of the race to date is hard to say. Kid Carter has had. about the worst of It, and has lost to more than one of the men named, but at that. In someuture engagement, he Is likely to turn the tables on his opponent. George Gardner, -Who 18 THeawr than the others, appears to have the best place on his llstk- He whipped Carter satisfac torily more than' once at San Francisco, and not long ago put. Jack Root out of the running, though the latter -had an Injured arm during the fray. -. Oa the strength Of that win, Gardner appears to nave an at a aisaavamage, on paper, save Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. There Is no telling what that shirty cus tomer Is capable of when he shows his full band a thing which. It Is suspected, he has not yet done on this side of ths water. NEW HEAVYWEIGHT DUE It may be that there is another cham pion due to sneak out of the Australian wilds .and makeN money and glory for himself in this country. A new man in the heavyweight division is about -due, and as most of the fighters in this class who amount to anything come from Aus tralia, -maybe Dougherty is the man the country has been waiting for. Whether he is or not he has the reputation,- and before he sets foot In the country he Is signed up for a $3,000 fight. There are good pugs in the country who are run ning around with their tongues out in a fruitless effort to find a $3,000 fight, and most of these would be willing to com promise on a fight for half that amount Dougherty has no trouble In dropping Into one of the soft places. He must be a good man and the ring followers are certainly expecting great things of him. Ills first fight will be against Gardner in 0 it In. 11,. .4T.tP . r.----!-piwr; proper fashion a great field will be opened to him. 1. .;.jCABEYa.,.NJE.PtrNCII.. Tom Carey, a Gpthan heavyweight, Is said to have evolved a punch with the aid of which he expects to encounter no (-trouble at all In putting away Jim Jeffries and all of the other heavyweights as fast as they can be thrown into a ring against him. Mr. Carey won't say "nothin' to no body" about this new- wrinkle. Scissors punch? Corkscrew? Possibly the musty, old, and almost forgotten punch on the point of the Jaw? ... MARTIN AND JOHNSON. "Denver" Ed Martin, with, his manager, Billy Madden, will shortly go to the i'a- cifio Coast. Madden has juinouncecU that no-bad accepted the offer of the- Ban Francisco Athletic Club of a purse for the negro to meet Jack Johnson, who re cently came into notice as a heavyweight. Martin . and Johnson are to battle 20 rounds in January. . ; ', ' JBRnsirs earnings. -According to an Extern" correspondent, "Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien Is reported to have earned $21,000 during the past eight months. This amount of money was realised by O'Brien In thirty battles he has fought since April 1, which is the greatest number of contests fought by any pugilist this year. Previous to this streak of .fighting, O'Brien fought 16 battles In England, winning alt of them, and tak ing the titles of middleweight, and heavy weight champion of England to America with him. O'Bfien Is at, present matched to fight Charley Haghey of Boston, Joe Choynskl, the Catifornian, and Marvin Hart of Louisville, in six-round bouts at Philadelphia." He expects to box two men , In addition to these three before January 1. Then he will have fought S3' battles in nine months. "' HACKENSCHMIDT COMING. When George Hackenschmldt comes to this country in January he will be loot after by Sam Fltzpatrick. Sam has been In communication with the noted Rus sian and has received word that Hacken schmldt will sail the latter part of next month. ' Sam is already .looking . for a suitable opponent for the foreigner. It la likely that he win nave a lot of trouble In- locating a good man, as Hackeit- schmldt's reputation has preceded him and the other wrestlers seem to be afraid to take him en. ,' Sporting news.

Parr has posted a forfeit and is willing to gibkle by any reasonable conditions -named vby Jeeklns. Parr is training every day and hat, three matches In view. He expects to clinch a struggle with Dan McLeod in a few days.

Wlley.jjaya;... ."Wrestling Is all the rage here Juat now, nd some-of -the matches decided have attracted large crowds. There Is a dearth of heavyweights and this fact somewhat Jessens Interest, as the sports prefer to see the big men wrestle." BOTHNER IS WILLING. The members of George Bothner's gym nasium are anxious to have the light weight champion meet some good man in private, and to that end efforts are under way to secure a fit opponent. Walter Wil ioughby of Buffalo has been named, and If everything can be arranged the bout Will be ratified.
