Nevt Tuesday night at the annual
meeting of the Multnomah club, the
-membership wiil vote.on the proposition
to purchase S3 and a' fraction lota voro
" posing the Klngr tract adjoining the
- grounds on the south, for the sum I
$$0,000. The members of the organisa
tion are divided on the purchasing plans,
anil thme nnoosed will likely lead a I
i. tnarrv fie-hl at thA nnlla.
Those favoring the purchase of the!
additional ground point oui ineiacv mm
it will, be absolutely necessary to have
a larger clubhouse in a year or so nu
that the money wllj b well spent. Sev
eral years ago when the present grounds
. were purchased and the clubhouse start
ed the C1UD wunoui a .aoiiar m mori
obligated itself for 370.000 to carry out
its plana. . , .
Of th original Bum all has been paid
off but 128,000. When the improve
ment program was Inaugurated " last
spring, the club figured .that 'll would
require 125,000 to complete the work. So
iar it naa cosi dui aouui tia.vuu, m
Ing the present debt of the club some
thing less than J4S.O00 all told.
There are over ,1000. active members
in the club and we revenue to tne ciuo
from this source is now maintaining the
organisation. Money made through the
athletic enterprises of the club is clear
profit. During 1908 the club made a
nice Droflt from its athletics.
The club has five and one half acres
, of land in the heart of the city.
It is figured that Morrison street
will be opened up and in that event the
iota aDotting on tne street wiu be even I
more valuable. At the same time, the I
portion of the street cut off from the
club grounds will lessen the area of the
organisation. i
should the club decide to purchase

STILL UHTAKEN
Sullivan Thinks Money for
Private Match, Will Be
Raised Tonight.
Is SHOO hard to raise amonar the flnl
Ilvan wrestling contingent! or are the
Dacxers or tne Montana near profession
al fearful of losing their coin on his
chances for a private bout with Eddie
u :onneii7 .
O'Connell's slmoleons to the number
of half a thousand are still uncovered
at Schiller's cigar store.
This morning Sullivan sauntered into
the smokestand and announced that he
had been training for the bout and that
the money .would probably, be laid to
night. Strangler Smith, who was also in
cluded in the O'Connell bet of $500. has
been silent for several days. The strang
ling (Trappier thinks he has a chance
with O'Connell, but in order to get into
the going with the local champion ho
will nave to show the color of his coin.
Heretofore the wrestling colony has
thought O'Connell's talk was of stage
money. Several of the old guard thought
it was stage money that Riley of Ta
coma, who lasted but six minutes, had
Kut up. But it wasn't. It was good
ard cash. Riley thought he had a
chance and put up $260 In real money.
He lost It like a good sport, even If
he proved a wrestler inferior to the
Multnomah Instructor.
It takes more than the few dollars
taken in at the gate to tempt 0;Con
nell Into a match. He knows what he
ran do. Sullivan's only claim to recog
nition 4s the fact that he won the na
tional championship. He did not win
an Olympic championship in Athenv,
having lost the decision. O'Connell's
pupils have won this same national
championship that Sullivan boasts so
much about. 1
HOLT STEALS ONE LAP
Oil SIX-DAT SKATERS
. Slipping, away from the field ' in the
six day roller' skating racs at th Ex
position rink last night. Eddie Holt
stole a lap. on the nearest, competitors
before any one was aware of the" in
tentions of the game little racer. Holt
is now one lap . to tbe good over all
others, and Is In grand form. If he has
ny luck during the . remaining four
nights he should win" the race with a
good handicap.
Holt covered two -mors laps than
were negotiated last night. Both he
and Harold Card who won the race last
year, went Into tne second Installment
one lap to the good over Kruse. 'Kruse
also was ' in fine shape last night and
he hung onto Holt like a leech, both
boys finishing with the same number
of laps, 1S. Card was unintentionally
Interfered with and drorDed behind one
of the slower skaters., but he could
not make up the ground fast enough and
was soon passed again dv moh sjii
Kruse. Both Holt and Card finished a
lap ahead of Kruse Monday night,
which places Kruse and Card on equal
footing.
Ross Copeland Is the unlucky one or
the octette. Lost night he fell again,
hurtlna himself seriously. However.
his pluck kept htm In the race and he
finished II isds Bern na tne leaders.
Rlckard is still suffering from "a touch
of pleurisy and is unable to keep up
ith the first section. Tne Dig pro
fessional has a great stride and in a
larger' hall and with better health -he
might surprise the local talent.
The racing last night was even more
exciting than on the previous evening
and the big crowd roared itself hoarse
In the last 10 minutes of sprinting. The

Berlin, Feb. 3. The one-hundredth
anniversary of Mendelssohn's birth was
celebrated today by music lovers and
omers tnrougnoui tne oivuiiea world.
The musical, organisations in nearly
every city in Germany, had arranged
more or less elaborate celebrations in
honor of the composer of "A Midsummer
Night's Pream" and of the -( ''Songs
Without Words." Here and in several
other larsa muslo centers the oelebra'
tions were on a rather pretentious scale
and assumed a popuiar character, seldom
equalled by the anniversary oi a -composer's
birthday. Practically- all' the
rjrominent musical societies and edu
cational institutions, including the Uni
versity of Berlin, Mendelssohn's alma
mater. Joined In the effort to honor the
memory or the composer. i..
- Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy was
born on February 3. 1808. the son of
wealthy and hlirhlv educated banker.
No. mors appropriate name could have
been given him than Felix, which means
luckv. hannv or fortunate. - He was born
in the lap of wealth and throughout his
lire nao everytnmg mat teven a ponea
favorite of fortune could, wish . for.
Wealth, a happy and refined home, first
with his parents, later in his own do
mestic olrclA. a resnected rjosltlon In so
ciety and the fullest recognition and
admiration of his genius by his coun
trymen all were his.
" A. Family of rxo&itTtes.
Felix' Mendelssohn was the second of
four children.. All were talented and it
is said that his elder sister, Fanny Men
delaaonn. was aven a more talented mu
sician than he. His musical talent be
came apparent In his earlM youth. When
he had reached his eleveVtb year, he
had comnosed 60 or 60 more or less
meritorious compositions and It was de
rided that he should be allowed to fol
low his inclination and devote himself
to a musical career. At the ags of 16
he had eomnleted his fourth opera.
which the critics praised as highly orig
inal and Individual. At the same time
his general education was not neglected
and Felix In due time entered the Uni
versity of Berlin, where he distinguished
himself by his brilliant literary attain
ments.' It was generally admitted that
Mendelssohn, had he chosen literature
for his vocation, instead of music, would
have become quite as famous as a writer
as he did become as a composer,
rheaomenal Versatility. '
In 184S Mendelssohn, together -with
Schumann, David, . the violinist, and
Becker, the organist,, founded the great
Ielpslc. conservatory, which In . the
course of time became the most
Influential and prominent musical
school in Germany. As a composer
Mendelssohn ranks witn tne greatest
creators of music of the nineteenth cen
tury. As a pianist he was brilliant, re
fined and noetlcal m his interpreta
tion. As an organist. Mendelssohn gave
a new impetus to enurcn music, partic
ularly -tn England, a country which he
visited 10 times and where he was al
ways received with admiring enthusi
asm. Literature Is Indebted to him for
two volumes of the most exquisitely
written letters and a translation. Into
German verse of the "Andria' of the
Latin poet Terenca. - Even the graphic
art was not neglected by thatxversatile
genius of his. During his sojourn In
Switzerland Mendelssohn painted a
number of water colors which, in the
opinion of competent critics, showed a
remarkable talent.-
In music he left about 150 composi
tions, among them several dratorlos. of
which "Elijah" and "St. Paul" are un
doubtedly the most popular," several
operas, chief Of which "A Midsummer
Night's Dream," containing the beautiful
"Wedding March," and a large number
of minor compositions, of which his
"Songs Without Words" sre probsbly
the most universally known. His or
chestral compositions included sevefal
beautiful and brilliant symphonic works,
which rank among the musical classics.

years. 'ine tracg was lounued :
Senator Van de Vanter and others al
ter the session of the legislature six
years ago.
i In the house the Hanson bill passed
unanimously. In the senate the com
mittee on publlo morals reported the
bill for passage, - but delaying tactics
were worked and the bill waa rerefer
red to the Judiciary committee, in the
hope that it would lie there until the
criminal code was reported from i the
code commission appointed by the aov-
rernor. - Testerday, friends of the bill
were sucoessful-ln withdrawing it from
the judiciary committee, and had -it
placed on the calendar for passage to-
uay. mis action is entirety new in
'Washington. Never before has a bill
been withdrawn rrom tne judiciary com
mittee in either house. The "courteav"
of the -matter prevented, when no other
reason was avauaDie. - r
The provisions of the bill cover every
phase of rack track gambling. Including
the street pool seller. The bill in full
