Portland day at the Oregon State fair has come and tone, and It proved to be what It was expected; the. record ; . breaker, the beet day of the meet not ; ronly, but the bent day In the history of , tna state fair.. 'With nn attendance ap , proxlmatlng- 22,0ftO people, with every 't department Jammed, and all the 'people , ' going away satisfied and regretting only " the fart that' the' dalr did note latt t4 hours, the management of the state fair can weir reel satisnea wirn ita crrorts and rest on the laurels gained. , .. It was truly the greatest and best day of the Oregon State fair, the best known In the hie tor y of that Institution, - -famous as an agricultural .and stock show In the Pacific Northwest. The earliest trains brnuirht neonle from the 1 upper portion of the valley, the Albany local, arriving at 8 o'clock, alone bring' Ing seven coaches filled -to the lowest , steps, and all of these people at once en teredthe fair grounds, while thousands from the surrounding country, coming by 'teamsj wagons,, carriages, on horse- j back, on plcycle and In yes In auto mobiles. Joined the--happy throng-In the grounds making an Imposing army or sightseers, long before the first grains came in from . Portland, with the excur sionists" from that city. And when these j,- cams, four, trains crowded to the guard' - rails, and when these: people were Joined by the Salem contingent, really a larger one than that at the fair on Salem day, there waa no doubt that Portland day at tne niue ribbon state fair was a sue cess, and not only a success, but the breaker of all records, In point of at tendance, In the history of the state. A Oreat SnJojrablo Time. , How those Portland people enjoyed . themselves! .The last train arrived at 12 o'clock, and by the time the scramble for lunch waa over, and the Inner man, 6r woman, had been satisfied, they were ' ready to see all that was to be seen, and they saw It Th county exhibits, the livestock show, stallions, brood . mares, fat .stock, swine, sheep, poultry and all were the, attraction for thou- ' sands, an attraction such as many of these people had never had before, and they enjoyed the sight to the full. But it was at the race track where the center of Interest was to be found during the afternoon, and here the , crowd congregated. A half hour before the time for calling the races, the grandstand was filled, and by the time the Judges took their places for the af ternoon's work, standing room In the grandstand, as well as between It and the track, was at, a premium; and .thou sands of people lined the fences, on both .aides, anxious to view the best program of races ever seen on sn Oreerm- trrk. And what an enthusiastic crowd it was, Everything was admired, and praised and from the time the special trains ar rived until their departure at dark, the management vi wis .exposition nrwru .nothing but: praises Ior . thai splendid show gathered here, and for the excel lent "order, maintained throughout; the " The' feature tot the day was,' of course, the splendid race program. Three splen did harness events, including the Lewis and Clark stake of f 2.000. for trotters, and two running races, on of - which waa the Oregon derby,; for H.poo. at tracted: the; crowd' to, the " grandstand early in the afternoon, and there It re mained until after sunset, when the final heat - or ths big trotting race : was u elded.'- . :" , i Several Incidents occurred to mar the pleasure of the day temporarily. .In the first heat of the big trotting race, Louis Z., one of the trotters, "threw his driver by rearing, while scoring, and ran away, running clear , around the mile track with his sulky wrecked, before one of the marshals caught him.. The race pro ceeded with Louis 25. in the field, but in the first heat the runaway waa dia tanced. ; In the second, heat Sweet Ma rie, winner of the first heat, came in third, and it was suspected, that her driver, Mr. Durfee, who Is believed to be the owner; had pulled her up In or der to prevent making a record. When the horses came out for h third heat Durfee was called to the Judge's stand and informed that he could not drive the mare, but someone else would. -He ordered the mare off ih -track, and bis hostler started to take her to the stall. but ex-Sheriff F. W. Durbln. one of the deputy marshal's, stopped him and brought the mare and driver UP before the Judges. 'Mr. Durfee again entered the staiid and a long parley ensued, when It was made clear to the irate driver of Sweet Marie, that if he took the mare out of the race he was sub Ject to. a severe penalty, even to the ex tent of being ruled off 'the track as driver and owner, and his horses sub ject to suspension while In his posses sion. He left the track under the pro test of the Judges, and last night these gentlemen met. gave the driver a hear ing and decided to expel him from the traak and suspend his horse. Unless this is reversed on appeal, Mr. Durfee is out of racing, for he can not even train on a track under the rules of the Amer ican Trotting association." After Sweet Marie's - withdrawal, only three horses remained n the race, and of these Dr. Hammond, winner or tne secona neat. took the next two, with Briny K. second and Beladl third, giving them the money In the order named. The Oregon Derby. The Oregon derby waa won by Parker Twalte's Fossil, a magnificent brown colt with Burdock In second place and Axmlnster third.

' "Many of the Eastern passenger agents do not know any more about the Pacific Northwest than we know about thn wllrla nt Ponfml Africa mnlA M..J. Roche, lojUl representative of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad this morning. "We want to bring them out here next year and show these 'railroad ers what a glorious country this is." The first district of the Pacific Coast Association of Traffic Agents will meet at Spokane October 10, and one of the best attended meetings In the history of the .association Is expected. "Two Pullman cars will carry the Portland delegation, while the Seattle and Tacoma traffic men will hIho have several pe clal coaches. What Is said to he the chief topic to be dinruNsed at the Spokane meeting will be the securing of the 1901 con ventlon of the ' American Association of Traveling Passenger Agents for Portland. In many reapects, thts cen- vention will be one of the most lm portant held In the country, and es pecially la It said to be vital to the In teresta to the Pacific Northwest Mr. Roche, who is the district deputy of the national asaorlatlon, thla morn lng said that the whole Pacific coast was In favor of Portland securing the convention. "No class of people havd so much to do In directing the courae of immigration as the traveling paa senger agents of the railroads." said Mr. Roche. "And this la one of the rea sons we want them to come to this city next year. The large number of new comers, that have arrived In the cltlt-s of Oregon and Washington during the past few - months-has opened the eyes of many Eastern railroad passenger men. who were formerly of the opinion that California was the only state on the Pacific coast. "Several years ago Los Angeles en tertained the agents. The people of that city were such royal boats that their 'far Knstern' visitors gained the Idea that only the cities of the Oolden State were worth thinking of when referring to the Pacific coaat. If we can, secure the convention here next year this notion will soon be one of the has beens' with the agents now holding that view." The following Portland people have already stated that they would attend the Spokane meeting and boom the cause of the 1904 convention: Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Coman. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Adams, Mrs. and Mrs. W. C. McBrlde. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Casey, Mr. and Mrs, C. W. Stinger. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Gavin, Mr. end Mrs. W. C. Seachrest. Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Roche. Mr. and Mrs. K. H.
