' ' MISCELLANEOUS BPORT9. ii According to the6an Franelsco Bulle tin, Bob Fltssbnmons la being flooded with Invitations to train at this and that ' place, mnd It won't cost him a cent If he . accepts any one of them. But he Is not i going to train at any one of these resorta : for the simple reason that if he allows himself to' be used Cor advertising pur nnaea. ha will be under obligation to the proprietor," Slid will not enjoy that free dom and independence that he loves. He would be supposed to make himself prom inent around the barroom and. shake hand with every Tom, Dick and Harry who visited the place, and thereby In crease the bar receipts. This kind of business la not to hi liking, and Bob ald yesterday after returning from a drive through the park with his family that & would undoubtedly, train at the Cliff. He i waa pleased with the. roads and the beach, and there is a little cot tage out by the ocean that he can rent lor his 'family, which will give him pri vacy. "There If not much doubt but that X will train at the Cliff House," he said Jast night. "I looked Hhe grounds over very thoroughly and X must say that I liked them. The country out there re minds me very much of my home In New York. There I Jive right on the water, and tiers la nothing like the brac ing air- that blows off the ocean. Jack Jeffries will have anything but a walkover when he clambers through the ropes Frfda? nigMirXidis Angeles to do battle with one J. Johnson, an ebon-hued giant whose specialty la the game of the padded mitts. Johnson has been working hard. Billy Woods being his sparring partner "fight ing' partner" would be more nearly it, for : the - two go to their woak with a ferocity that bespeaka ill for some of those email and delicate bones in the hand that are so often broken or mis placed by fighting on the eve of battle. Dave Gideon la in the game stronger than ever this year. His coups of laat .' Macadam Road Widening. A motion to dissolve the injunction is sued by the State Circuit Court restrain ing the widening of the macadam road was argued before Judge Sears and tak en under advisement. The technical point Involved In the ar gument was regarding the manner la tthich the papers were, served. In the petition for an Injunction the defendants named axe County Judge Cake and bounty Commissioners Showers and Mack. The first named only was served With the papers. The attorney for the Portland Driving Association, C.

If Grannan gets started going this season there wilj be some of the old sensations at, the Eastern tracks this year. W. K. Vanderbtlt's offer of 1200,000 for Sceptre haa made the English filly fa mous even If she had not performed in such a sensational manner Jn the two early classics. Like W. C. Whitney, Van derbllt la ambitious to capture the Kng- ilsh derby this year, particularly as it is a coronation event, and with this en J in view he la not sparing the money, psr fleularly as Sceptre Is now regarded as having the classic at,Jier mercy. So far, however, Sievler has' not replied to thg American's latest offer. Seven new stakes, to be decided at the Coney Islaad Jockey Club's spring meet ing, Jun 14 to July 4, will gclose on Thursday. ' They are the Rosebuds, Daisy and Pansy, fo l-year-olds; the Bay Ridge handicap and Grass selling, for S-year-clda and upward, and the Beacon and Rockaway cup, fof cross-country horses. The Beacon Steeplechase, with 12500 added, 1s the most valuable event. Kid Broad has been offered the first chance to fight Young Corbett, as the lo cal jromoe have become wearied of the manner In which to keep the fight on his Hat without ac tually signing the papers therefor. A telegram has been sent to Joe Maciaa, asking If Broad could arrange his dates to meet Corbett on May 23, Unless he can Induce Young Corbett (o sign articles, Abe Attel, who has been winning purses and' laurela in the East, will be back home In a few days.

Excursion Agent Duvall of the Chicago & Northwestern and Union Pacific ar rived here yesterday afternoon from;, tha East with a party of 15 homeseekers. The O. R. & N. Co.'a train waa due to arrive here at 8:10 yesterday' morning, but was delayed on account of a bridge being out at a point 10 miles west of Omaha. t "These persons," said Mr. Duvall, "are mostly from the New England States. The smallness of the party was due to the fact that the special low rates have expired. . There were only -two of .my party who went up to Puget Sound. I think that, the prospects for a great tide of travel to the Pacific Coast this sum mer are particularly good." "While 1 think of it, I Would like to say that there is a great deal of Interest In Chicago and other parts of tha East In relation to the Lewis and Clark Fair lu 1903. But theS fact cannot be too strongly impressed upon Oregonlans and all others interested that there is a woeful lack of advertising of the event. When this shall have been done, there win be a great deal more interest manifested than Is now evident. If a person' or a com munity has got a good thing and they want the world to learn about' It, they must advertise the fact in every way they can. POLITICAL NOTES. The straw vote that was to have been taken at Cordray's Theater Sunday night failed to materialize.

The government river gauge at Eugene was destroyed by running logs some time last week. Since the gauge was originally put In the channel of the Wil lamette the river has changed, placing the gauge In a position exposed to passing debris. The gauge is spilt at 14 feet and runs diagonally downward to 12 feet, whence a narrow strip extends down to feet. It is impossible, however, to take readings from this strip, as It is dislo cated and la too narrow to be of use. A new river gauge probably will be built at low water some time this summer.

The last concert of- the season of the Portland Symphony Orchestra waa given at the Marquam Grand last night and was attended by a large audience of the fashionable folk of the city, who appre ciated the success of the program. Prominent In "luslcal compositions Is the "Unfinished aymphony" of Schubert, which headed the program last night. This composer Is a writer who causes people to feel and understand his theme, and In this line his "Unfinished Sym phony" can not be excelled, j,, The strain Is a minor one that usually 'leads to sol emn thoughts, but beautiful. "Cavalier la Rusticana" was represent ed by the ever-popular "Intermesso' and Handel's "Largo" was exquisitely rendered. The brilliancy of the music of Moszkowskl Is becoming more appre ciated and his "From Foreign Parts" was played with uch a spirit of free-" dom and brightness that the audience demanded an encore. The "thdante. Cantibile," . by Tsohalkoweky, was a dainty, dreamy number greatly enjoyed, and other selections were no less pleas ing. The selection of Mrs. Walter Reed as soloist for the occasion proved a happy choice. She sang in the 'best of voice a number of songs Jrom memory, and the richness of her marvelous contralto tones was. never more appreciated. She sang "Shouggia Shou, Ma Balrnle," by Henschel, and the dainty French song, "Maman Dites Mol." An entirely new song, written by . Mrs. Carrie Jacobs Bond of Chicago., entleled "Shadows," received the greatest applause, and . all were pleased with her rendition of "Mighty Lak a Rose,"' which never loses Its popularity.
