PORTLAND PARTY TOURING SOUTH Charles B. Arthur Drives a Stoddard-Dayton Over Very Bad Roads. After driving his Stoddard-Dayton touring car a distance of 1,865 miles on running time of exactly 84tt hours, Charles B. Arthur of Portland haa reached Los Angeles, says the Times, i "With him was hla mother, Mrs. J. M. Arthur, her maid and ii. W. Reed. Tha Portlander left their home IS davs ago for the long tour, and reached Los An geles without an accident, and wlth.no trouble except one puncture. I v The trip is remarkable because' the party three times lost its way and trav-. ersed some of the worst roads in Ore gon and California. Over miles and miles of territory which is deep with dust and almost ltnpaasable because of ' the chuck-holes, the trim Stoddard was sent. At times , the car sped along at . 4S, and even SO miles an hour. When time was lost on the wrong road Arthur tried to make up his loss by sending his touring car at greater speed along the country highways. . '.! -iV- Started Ootobes 8. Starting early on" the morning of Oc tober 3 Arthur . drove to Albany the first day: On Aha day following he lost the Toad and .finally reached Cottage Grove after driving, nearly 100 miles over wretched highways. The .third day out Myrtle Creek was reached. ' On the fourth day came the gruelling run of the entire trip. For hours tie car was put to a severe test by ' th gear work necessary to cross the high hills on the run to Grants Pass. . At night Ashton was reached. The "car , tmd been driven just 190 miles during the day. The drive to B! aeons was over' roads which were almost Impassable, but even with such a handicap the Stoddard made fairly good time. The day fol lowing it was necessary to taket a roundabout - course In order to avoid steep grades, but the car waa obliged to tasa through deep sand ' which proved o be as hard as anything tackled dur ing the run. . The Trinity mountains .were. crossed and Burner -wee reached at night. The following day Redding waa entered and on the eighth day out the Stoddard party were at Winters with only a short run to San Francisco before them. s- r- !. : t Somas Ware Sad. ''.-. Only a brief stay1 was made !n the Bay City, which waa reached after an . easy t drive from Winters. The roads were , bad in the northern part of the state. The car stood up remarkably during the 1 rip- and.. It was hot neces sary to stoo for repairs anywhere. - . After leaving Ban Francisoo Arthur orove leisurely - to Ban Jose , ana re mained there for the night. Oil the 'day following. .he record. Tun of tha entire trip was made.

The soore of the game played today between tha IS rugby players front Vancouver, B. C and the University of California's rugby IS, does not by any means represent the actual value of tha playing of the teadls. Tha visit ors so far outplayed the collegians that a score of 10 or 11 points in their ravor would more properly snow tne run of the play. The California men did not play any thing like' the game they put' up, on Wednesday, wnue tae iiriusn uoiunv blans imoroved.. .- It Is hard to-say. what was the prin cipal defect in the California play.' The backs defended as well as they did on Wednesday, the forwards were just aa good In the scrum and the line out, and the kicking was 'no worse than In the first game, but still the Berkeley team got the worst of the gam all through. . The onlr -explanation arjoears to be that theiaat work of the Vancouver forwards, which waa easily the .beat display ox aaaning rorwara piay seen On a one day's run. ..This was a total of 115 miles for the day.

The facts in relation to these two big functions, however, show that the seats at the horse show have brought less of recent years and that the attend ance has not increased, while each sea son the annual automobile showvin the Garden haa been a greater event and more largely attended. ll.
