Uonrstl Special errlre.) New Tork. Dec 1. They're off at New Orleans! and Judging by the first three days of the racing, all. the rosiest predic tions of the winter season of 1804-6 are certain of realisation. Never have there been so many "horses at the Crescent .City track, and the class la very much higher thsn It hss been since the inau gurstlon of winter racing at the Cres cent City. The crowds have been large nd enthusiastic, and they have been treated to high class sport. The south hss money this year and the combination of the average southern sporting man with a roll on his person and flrst-clsss nqrse racing means business for the bookmaker Iv less" than IS books were open for business on Thanksgiving day, and so fsr as the returns at present to hand Indicate, they afe all pretty well satisfied. New Orleans ts to have two tracks In operation after the end of the year. The Crescent City Jockey club will have the field to Itself up to NeW Year's, but on December 6 the Western Jockey club will meet and allot dates for 105. It Is altogether prob able that they will divide time between the Crescent City club and the New Orleans Jockey club. - The purses end stakes offered by the new organisation are of sufficient valoe to attract the best horses st New Orleans, and there is little doubt that-the two clubs will sgrec to divide the patronage amicably In stead of going in for an era of hroet cutttng which might prove disastrous to both. The New Orleans Jockey club will try an lnnovstlon which will be welched by racing men all over the country. It la the establishment of a board of three handlcappers. Instesd of a single one. which Is now the system In vogue In this country. Opinion smong horsemen Is divided on this question, and the suc attained hv the experiment at New Orleans will have much to do with ths future method of handicapping on all ih. ..iiprn tracks While there has been some dissatisfaction over the weights assigned to Mr. V os burg In . some races, and unquestionably this vet ersn has made mistakes at times, the best opinion among trainers and owners in these parts Is that the single handi capper will on the whole give the best results; sllll they are not hidebound, and If the New Orleans experiment . vindicates the claims of those who favor the board system, they are willing to be con v tTicd . Among the visitors In this city during the week was Manager H. D. Brown, of the New Orleans Jockey club, who has been te all the racing canters east and west In the Interests of his meet. Mr. drown left the latter part of tho week for Washington, where he will explain to owners and trainers just what ho ex pects to do. He is enthusiastic, not only In regard to tho future of the new venture, but of the racing situation In New Orleans In general. He said: "Horsemen who never before have raced at New Orleans will be on hand. The Schrelbcr, Corrlgan. Dunne. Ellison. Bennett and Schorr stables will be there In force; Billy Lakeland, an old-timer t New Orleans; H. If. Mason and others who will come on from the east Natur sllly with us the booking is an Im portant Item, and It Is certain that twice the number of bookmakers will be on hand this winter than In former years. With the poolrooms closed there should be good business for all. There Is quits an Interest In trotting: races down our way, and It ts Intended to hold a meet ing for the trotters each fall, following the Memphis meeting, provided this can be arranged so as not to interfere with the opening of the Crescent City Jockey club. "Our stakes will be closed todsy. and we are encouraged by the Interest taken In the meeting by horsemen of the best clsss. both In the east and In the west." The plungers have got all the worst of It during the paat season's racing In ths Metropolitan district, and there ts hardly a layer of odds who has not added much to his bank account. George Wheelock has closed up his business for the yesr not because It has not been profitable, but because he Is making arrangement!) for an early departure for winter's trip to Southern Europe and Africa. He Is reported to be not less than f 110.000 ahead on the season, and it Is freely predicted In New York that lie is likely to make it Interesting for the bank of Monte Carlo before the mm. wutha. i inm .

POWDER, PASTE KENNEL CLUB TO MEET THIS EVENING Member Taylor Gives His Views on the Position of the Club Men. Speaking of the Kennel club. J. A. Taylor, who Is In a position to know the sentiments of the members ss nearly as anyone can. states that although published reports ladlcste pending trouble at the annual meeting, which will be held In Justice Reld's court rooms this evening, he does not believe that anything beyond the regular rou tine of business will transpire. "There are several prominent members," says Mr. Taylor, "who would like to have the membership of the club transferred from the W. K. L. to the A. K C , but thinks that these gentlemen are too good sportsmen to try to force their Ideas on the great majority and that they will be patriotic enough to first consider the welfare of the Portland Kennel club, which has been remark ably successful under W. K. L. Juris diction The conservative members can see nothing- to be gained by such a move, but that much would have to be relinquished, as all tbe past work of the club would be practically worthless If such a step were taken. The pioneer and working section sre not likely to sllow their work of years to be burled for the sake of becoming a part or the A. K. Cm which has done nothing to encourage dog mstters in this locality, but on the other hand has done everything- possible to break up the home league, and) at the present n.'oment promises to taboo It by maintaining certain disqualifying- rules. This taboo Is almost too funny for serious con sideration, as the worst effect would be to deprive league club members of the services of only one or two prominent Judges Who are officially connected with the A. K. C. should their services be desired. There sre msny others tn the flelri, however, equally competent. and as a dbg show juage is aiws.ys re munerated with a good fat fee. It la hardly likely thst the taboo will be long-lived. In the meantime, it noes not seriously worry a large percentage of coast fanciers, who claim that the rules of the W. K. L. are In set an Un nrnvement on these of the A. K. C. That Its offlctal form of registration In the V. 13. a. a. is rar more peuoci ma provides much better protection to the breeder and nurchsser man that of the eastern club. Kennel clubs as fsr east aa Chicago continue to come under the Jurisdiction of the league. Several or tne present oince nuiurro sre desirous of retiring-, which will make an opening on the board for some fresh blood. Owing- to the Intention to hold an international bench show at the Lewis and Clark talr much Interest Is manifest In the personnl of the new tboard and there Is sure to be a large meeting, ss me ciuo nw uumui Shout 180 members. It Is -not likely, however, that any attempt will be made for a change of government. PROFITABLE AT THIRTY TO ONE WINS AT OAKLAND (Journal Special Berries.) San Francisco. Dee. 1.

The rules snd regulations governing the races re quire thst the challenging club shsll be given ten months' notice In writing, and as It Is ths general understsndlng thst tbe races should be sailed tn August or September, it Is now too late for a challenge to be received for a contest In ISOt. Nothing authoritative has been heard from Sir Thomas Llpton, but those well acquainted with the chsracter and views of the man sre Inclined to the belief the! he haa merely postponed but not abandoned his attempt to secure the coveted trophy. , 1 m scvoor, r lb errs cmtrs The Portland high school football eleven held their annuel meeting last evening snd elected officers for the en suing yesr.

A woman who returned recently from a visit to one of the smaller towns of Nebraska, tells how they .operate the street car system there. Hsr host wss escorting her to ths depot to take her depsrture and as shs could not sprint the two blocks to the car line, she wss obliged to do tbe next best thing He raced to the street on which the street cars traveled snd found the car four blocks sway proceeding on Its way to the depot. If that car was missed. It was a sure miss of the train. So he took a hitch In the vicinity of his belt snd made tlnte toward the retreating vehicle, catching It before It had proceeded one block further. The usual procedure would have been for the car to save waited until the passenger csme up, but in this town, the driver wss more sc commodstlng and he turned hla mules mound to the other end snd came back after the belated one. She made the train, but It was a terrible strain on the1 mules. 0. A. C WlU PLAY MULTNOMAH TEAM . s Game with the Agries Practically Assured for Christmas Afternoon. Oregon football followers will be pleased to learn that a game between Multnomah and Corvallis Is practically assured for Christmas afternoon In this city. Manager Watkins has been trying for severs! months to arrange a same with tbs Oregon Agricultural men. but ths regents would not give their con sent, but It was learned this morning thst a majority of the regents wsrs In favor of the scheme, snd that the only thins necessary to do was for the board to give Its formal ssnctlon. There Is no team on the Pacific coast that can give Multnomah a harder game than O. A. C. Although Oregon defeated them $ to $, and while not detracting In the least from Eugene s victory, the loss of three of O. A. C.'s star men greatly hsndlcapped the Corvallis eleven. Now thst Multnomah only defeated Oregon 7 to 0. or really $ to 0, the meeting- be tween the club and O. A C. should be a most Interesting event. The fsct thst the game "Will be played on Christmas will give both teams plenty of time to get In shape for the fray. The Corvallis eleven Is a strong aggregation, and. in condition, can cope with any team on the coast. Anyway. It will be a treat to see such a match, and the football par tisans trust that tho negotiations for the match may not fall through. For the first time since the Thanks giving game the Multnomah football squad will meet this evening for prac tice at the B. 8. A. gymnasium. The close approach of the Astoria game, which Is scheduled for Saturday after noon, haa had tbe effect of setting the boys together, as each man on the team realises thst a hard same will result when Multnomah and Astoria meet. Although the club men havs defeated Albany and Oregon and other well Ma soned teams, and scored a $ to 0 vic tory over tile Astorians, ths feeling pre vails that the coming match on Satur day will be a stubbornly fought one. Another thine that is worrying the club members Is the strong game that Is being plsyed by "Chancy" Bishop's Willamette eleven. Willamette recently defeated Albany 1$ to 0. the same score by which M. A. A. c. beat Albany, and aa Bishop's men sre In 1 fine condition, snd have been splendidly coached, their chances against Multnomah ars exceed ingly bright. Of course, the superior weight and greater experience of the club men will prevail over their younger rfsnd lighter opponents, but It Is an as sured fact that the club men will have to keep their eyes opened In this match. LOG RAFTS PREVENT USE OF FIREBOAT Fire Underwriters Call Attention to Very Serious Menace to Lumber Yards. . Wire underwriters have undertaken to nnnnt the blocking of ths entrance- way from tbs river enannel to the va rious lumber plants along the water front It la feared that In case of Are the flreboat may have difficulty in find ing Its way through tne raita or togs that are moored In the river. J. C. Stone, manager of tbe board of Are underwriters of the Pacific, has written to tbe members of the flreboat committee dlrectttuj their attention to the matter, and has atso sent letters to property-owners along the river aaking their co-operation. The letter follows: "It having come to the attention of this office that log rafts are being moored In tbe vicinity of a number of the sawmills in this city in such a man ner that action of the flreboat might be seriously hampered In event of Are on adjacent shore, I bee: to direct your at tention to the advisability of estsbllsh ing snd malntalnlns an sntranceway from the river channel to your mill, to be kept open at all times. Ohlef Campbell agrees with ens that where log rafts Interfere as described above, the flreboat would probably be rendered powerless, owing to Its Inability to Apd a way through the logs to the prop erty endangered. "Will you therefore kindly let me fmm von to whether the main taining of such an entrancsway would. necessarily Inconvenience your mmr a similar letter Is being- written all of the l.IM.h..tn vklonto ot Portland, and I trust we will receive the co-operation of me owners concornra in wi Dl"" " v derive the largest possible measure of protection from the flreboat." XT OAS TaTAT From the Boston Globe. In a recent railroad accident on tbe Worcester. Nsshua A Portland division of the Boston A Mslne st Bast Barring ton. N. if . when an extra freight train from Nashua crashed headon Into ah extra freight from Portlsnd that was waiting there to meet it. a Boston A Maine ear on the train standing still disappeared snd for hours the efforts of the. railroad men to nna it were unavau Ina- The accident occurred a little sfter mldnlrht. From that time until day light ths railroad telegraph operators alonr the lino from the scene of the wreck to Portland made the wires hot In their efforts to trace the missing csr, as it was thought that It might have got uncoupled and Jumped from the train, or had been left at some station. The mystery of the lost car was solved st dawn, when the car wss found driven completely Into a car of the Pennsylvania railroad. The cars naa been telescoped in such s wsy tbst by lantern light they looked like one whole car. and had thua escaped notice. The telescoping of these cars wss re garded ss rsmarkahle. Inssmuch ss they were In the train standing still. So tre mendous was the shock that the engine of the statlonsry train wss forced back against the Boston A Maine car power fully enough to send It through the Pennsylvsnia car. 1 " l WASWS i: In the principal German cities the day wage for unskilled labor for adults ars as follows: Berlin, $ cents; Hamburg. 71.4 cents; Bremen, $$.$ cents; Alx-la-Chapelle. $7 cents; Breslau. $7.1 cents: Diisseldorf, 71.4 cents; Hanover, $4.$ cents; Cologne. $$.$ cents; Munich, 71.4 cents; Frankfort. 7$.$ cents; Dresden. $.$ cents; Iipsic. 71.4 cents; Stuttgart 71.4 cents: Stettin. $$.$ cents; Msnnhetm. tt.t cents: Kon Iceberg, $$.$ cents; Nu remberg, $7 cents; Magdeburg, $7.$ cents BRILLIANT SEASON HAS PECULIAR END This Year Will Go Down In Pig. skin History with Hon ors in Doubt WILL HARVARD AND YALE END RELATIONS? Scheme Proposed Whereby East ern Championship May Be Satisfactorily Settled. ) With one of the most peculiar ssasons on record Just brought to a successful conclusion by the brilliant contest at Philadelphia between the army and navy it would seem a trifle premature at this time to talk about what is likely to happen next season, but' there to some talk among football men now which merits attention even at this asrly day. First In Importance, if true, is a report which comes from New Haven to the effect that there la a possibility that a break may come between Tale and Har vard. The cause ssslgned for the fric tion between the great eastern univer sity rivals ts the Insistence on the part of Harvard tn play ins Matthews, her negro football star. In spite of the fact that Tale had Intimated strongly to the Harvard football authorities that there wss great opposition on the part of msny Tals men. particularly those of southern birth, against playing with a negro opponent. . Princeton also Is said to share Tale's feelings In the matter the negro ques tion standing In the way of the arrang ing of athletic relations between these two great institutions. If there to any thing In these stories, the portion re ferring to Princeton and Harvard to more likely to be true, the southern ele ment being stronger st Nssshu than at any of the eastern universities. Another football story is to tne effect that negotiations ars either under wsy or soon will be, in whloh Tals. Prince ton, Columbia and Pennsylvania are mentioned, for the arrangement of a football schedule which will truly de termine the eastern championship in stesd of leaving it up la the air. aa It Is this season. This report has the merit of being most desirable in any event. If the four universities men tioned should take up this matter In earnest they will settle it without sny difficulty, and should also easily ar range a mstch with ths champions of the esst snd the west, end so ssttle the nstlonal championship. It to true thst the shortness of the season makes the arranging of a schedule between tbe half dosen lesding teams, wbtch havs a rlaht to championship aspirations, dif ficult. These difficulties are by no mesns insurmountable. The ending of the football season turns tbs attention of college athtetes to other games. There is every Indi cation that this will be an exceedingly successful season for basketball, hookey and similar games. All the leading uni versities have good basketball teams and theAchedules sre being rapidly ar ranged.' The eastern see son opens on December 10 with tbe game between the University of Pennsylvania and Swarthmore at Philadelphia, and from then on till spring basketball playing will be lively. The college gymnasts also sre busy arranging their schedules for the season. COINQ OUT OF BUSINESS. B. B. Rich Curio Store ScUi-f Out st Less Thsn Cost. I am going to sell my curio store.
