directors Of the Sixth District Agricul-
tural association have decided upon
their program for the ten days races
which begin Thursday and close a week

some time just what events were to be
run, but the conflicting desires of the
horse owners as to the days upon which
the big events were to be placed on the

trouble. The matter was settled yes

The meeting starts with one of its
most important events, the 2:12 trot.
In this race is centered more interest
among horsemen generally than in most
of the others. There are seven certain,
starters with a possibility of two others.
They are Galette and Zombro, both Los
Angeles horses. Ethel Downs, Mamie
Griffin, Jasper Ayers and Chris Peter
son. Two of the following three are
expected to start also: Helena, Margaret
and Lady o.
In the 2:12 pace on the same day will
be had one Of the best races of the
meeting. 1t is considered one Of the big
events. There will be four certain start
ers: Anaconda, Our Boy, Arthur L. and
Bird Roe, with the addition possibly Of
Lena N and Meridian.
THE BEST OF THE RACES
On Saturday will be contested what is
considered the big race Of the meeting,
in point of excellence of the entries It
is this event that the owners Of harness
horses have been preparing for for
months, ard among the local lovers of
the sport the entry list has been looked
for with interest. Although Siikwood
is not a Los Angeles horse, he is almost
So because of his many appearances
here, and he will go to the post favor
lite in the grand stand if not iu the bet
ting. There will not be much choice be-
tween the horses, however, until it is
over, for Silkwood is by no means the
only factor in the race. Searchlight has
been doing some excellent work of late
and only yesterday Keating worked him
heat in 2:11. On the second heat after
doing the half in 1:02M Searchlght
broke. Had he continued the mile would
have been covered in 2:0S.

CYCLING

The suspension of some Of the best
riders in this part of the state until
January 1 for having ridden in unsanc-
toned races at Riverside of September
9, has glot had the effect of discouraging
promoters of the race meets to be held
in this city between now and that date.
Preparations for these events are being
completed as rapidly as possible, and
the public will be given as good racing
as has ever been seen here, provided
some Of the crack riders of the coast
keep their promises. The most import
ant meeting will be that of Thanksgv-
ing day on which occasion prizes and
purses of sufficient value will be hung
out to tempt the cupidity of the best
of riders. 1t has beer positively assert
ed that Otto Zeigler will attend, he hav-
ing signed a contract to appear. With
him will come the other flyers who have
been riding at Puget sound points for
several months. If this meet is a sue
cess there will be several others ar
ranged for the winter and at all of them
all the really good men who can be Sc
cured will be entered.

The serious questions of the 1898 cycle

The serious questions of the 1898 cycle
season have been settled as far as arg
action of the National Cycle boarG of
trade members is concerned. AT the
last regular meeting the directors de-
cided to limit the guarantee on bicycles
to sixty days. instead of six months as
heretofore. That this course meets with
the universal appreciation of the trade
is evident by the many kield expressions
heard from the dealers on every hard

degree bordering on unreasonable

best material aead by the most skilled
labor, and if these requirements are full
filed the responsibility of the maker and
his coadjutor, the dealer, should cease.

The LATEST SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE

The real cause of most of our diseases is sim

thinness weakness, loss of flesh and fat, loss Of
vitality, wasting away.
Loss of flesh and vitality means constant liza

II getting thin is what ails you, there is only
one thing TO do-get fat. The only way to do
is to take something which will help your stom-
ach and stimulate it to do its work.
If you are tired out you do not like to move
your legs or arms. If your stomach is tired it
does not like to digesti it cannot do its work.

Improvement in service made during the
past year on all the lines running from
or through Portland and the excellent
service now given by the electric roads.
The addition of the steam boat John

fact that the directors of the Portland.

years.
Cyrus Farley, chairman OF the
meteorological committee made a report
in substance as follows: AS the value of
meteorological observations, both for
present use and for reference, depends
upon their accuracy, it is gratifying to
be able to report that the weather bureau

of its observers has reached stage that

chief office at Washington. No such ex-
tensive service, either in the number of
stations or in the territory covered. is to
be found anywhere else in the world. No
method of forecasting the weather will
ever become exact or wholly satisfactory,
but those who have watched this part of
the work from the beginning must have
noticed considerable improvement.
No business had Teen transacted during

no reports were made.

(Springfiela Republican.

Gov. Powers of Maine calls attention
to law of that state, given place In
the statute book in 1895 when he WAS
himself member OF the legislature,
which practically shuts off every posi-
bility of new public enterprise in fields
where corporations have been organized
to do the same or similar work, even If
the first companies have not carried their
plans into successful operation. Only by
consent, purchase or legislative permits
sion could further enterprise in tho same
line be attempted. Such law seems to
give the rights of the people over to the
tender care OF corporations. and it Is not
strange that the governor asks for its i'm
mediate repeal. Ehs strange thing is that
the Maine legislature didn t ses the trap

YELLOWSTONE PARK.
MIR. John L. stoddard's Magnificent Lect-
ure.

Mr.. John L. Stoddard insthe IL sea-
sons, that he has visited Portland, has
displayed upon the screen many magnifi-
cent scenes for every land, but more so
superb, so grand, as those descriptive
of the Yellowstone Park IN our own
country. The great audience, gathered
in City hall. last evening, fully appreci-
ated this fact and applauded vigorous
ly.
That tho Yellowstone Park, Linto whose
limits nature has crowded a wilderness
of rugged beauty, and more wonderful
creations than have been collected with
in any other equal area in the world, is
beyond all adequate description of Ian
guage or pen is well known to those
who have visited this wonderland. But
Mr.. Stoddard, whose skill in word paint
Ing is unique, has succeeded, where 9TH
ers have failed, in describing these scenes
SO admirably that the auditor gains a
most vivid impression of this great natu-
lal preserve and its remarkable charac-
teTistics. II the half remains untold
this Is due rather to the necessarily brief
limit of lecture than to any neglect or
inadequacy on the part of the speaker.
Many impressions of nature, more pax
tinularly those belonging to the scientific
beauties of the Yellowstone, can only be
under the azure sky of Wyoming and
breathes the crisp air that blows from
the mountains. Yet, aside from tour
through these rugged passes and among
tie impressive canons of the park, Mr..
Stoddard's beautiful views and word
paintings are the best next thing.
Much enthusiasm was ocoasioned by
the exquisite and beautifully colored
views in the park which were taken for
this use by F. J. Haynes, the famous
photographer, who has made these scenes
his special study for many years.
The lecturer moved along on the line of
the daily route of stage travel, each
days journey providing its own expert
enoes. In this way he spoke of the hot
springs and their beautifully shaped and
colored parapets, of the mountains of
glass crossed on the first days journey,
the geysers and steam foun tains, the I'M
canny looking mud geyser and the
strange paint pots. A portion of one
day was spent in crossing Yellowstone
Lake. large body of water at the high
est latitude on the North American con-
tinent except few isolated peaks. The
wonderful Grand Canon of the Yellow
stone, unlike any other on earth, and
quite unparalleled in beauty, gave Mr..
Stodderd opportunity to close with his
most eloquent phrases, Indeed, in his
description Of the terraces. the geysers
and the splendors of the Grand Canon
of the Yellowstone, of which superb
views we're given. Mr. Stoddard frequent
ly reached pitch of eloquenoe to which
he has seldom been stirred in any of his
former lectures. Not only the actual
facts. but the poetic inspiration of those
memorable scenes found expression in
most glowing terms, and it is doubtful
whether SO fine and eloquent a descrip-
ton of the Yellowstone has ever before
been uttered. 1t will be strange If this
lecture DOES not prove one of the most
acceptable he has ever written.
