NEW YORK, July 24.-Manhat-
tan Beach. a famous bathing re-
sort on Long Island, fifteen miles
from New York, is to have a coliseum
equaling in magnifcence the one in
Rome in its palmiest days. 1t will be
the greatest amusement resort in the
worlds history and will be built by
Austin Corbin and Western capitalists.
The work will be begun at the close
of the present summer season. The
Manhattan Beach hotel and theater,
the Paine fireworks pavilion and pos
sibly the Oriental Hotel will disappear
as completely as if a tidal wave had
borne them away, and this amusement
enterprise will build a magic replica
OF architecture at which the world will
marvel.
Austin Corbin, present owner of the
property, and Everett r. Reynolds are
behind the enterprise, and back of
them are five Western capitalists, syn
dicaters willing to risk several millions
OF dollars The reproduction of the
Coliseum Of Rome, with circular race
track will be as nearly like the one on
which the chariot races were run as
is possible to achieve from a study

A great field will be laid out for the
presentation of Shakespearean plays
alfresco. Geological gardens that will
rival any in the world are contem-
plated. An aquarium will be construct
ed in such a way as to make it an
arm of the sea. with gates so cum
ningly devised that when sharks.
sword fish and serpents swim in they
will not be able to swim out again.
On the ocean front its pavilions, jut-
ting far into the ocean, will be the
most magnificent hotel on any beach
in the world. 1t will have marble ap-
! proaches and other stately features,
never before attempted at a seaside
resort.
/ On the race track Of the coliseum will
be run chariot races Of three, four,
/ five and eight horses. The services of
/ the most expert drivers will be en-,
gagged The horses entered will Be
thoroughbred and standard bred. The

Horse Racing at State Fair.

Preparations are going forward
for the next State Fair to be held
in Salem September I2 to 10th.
One Of the striking features OF
the exposition this year will be
racing. Not in the history of the
association have such large purses
been offered for the saddle and
harness events as will be given
away this season. Between $I2,
900 and $4,000 will be given
away for the racing events alone.
A purse of So, has been offer
ed for the 2:I5 pace, while the
same amount has been offered for
the 2:I7 trot. In the first event
there have been 81 entries, and
in the latter IS.
AS usual, the appropriation of
$40, 900 from the state will be dis
tributed in prizes for the agricul-
tural department.. The feature
OF this department will be the
competition for the best displhy
from the various counties. For
this prize 81, 900 has been offered.

PORTLAND'S VOTE.
Republicans Win i'm MultnOmah
County by Large Majority.

The vote in Multnomah coun-
ty on Monday was on the unex-
pected order, and was almost un-
precedented on the slate and
congressional tickets, while the
county ticket, as we'll s>the leg
islative were won by exceedingly
large majorities.
The principal fight and the one
that commanded the most atten-
ton IN the city was the contest for
sheriff, for which there was one
Democratic and three Republi-
can candidates. Most people had
become so disgusted with the tao
tics of Storey. the bolter and Bird,
the perpetual candidates that they
united on Tom Word, Demo-
crat, butt all other respe cts
mighty good fellow. Tom was
dol OF the commercial travlers-
we have travelled some rough and
rugged roads with him ourselves
and won by good majority. In
addition to this, two others of the
Republican candidates were de-
feated, the balance winning from
5000 to 10, 1000 majority. The
true inwardness OF the fight that
won for Wood and Dist. Atty.
Manning must be written later.
The Oregonian sums it up as fol-
lows:
''The church people, the min
isterial association and the strict
Sabbath keepers voted for Wood
and Manning, because they
thought they would shut up the
gambling houses and saloons,
while the gambling element,
liquor dealers, dive keepers and
toughs voted for them because
they knew they would not. These
reformers are "easy' marks.

One of the most cowardly des-

been our lot to hear OF is that
placed on the handiwork OF the
blind broom makers of Oakland,
California by the Labor Unions
of that state. This cruel, heart
less act should bring the blush of
shame to the cheek of every
union man. When organized la
Dor finds it necessary to hurl its
immense strength and influence
against the product of a few blind
artisans, whose only hope is to
keep themselves out of the aims
house, then, indeed, have affairs
come to a pretty pass in this
great country. We re-echo the
blind peoples appeal that hu-

of their helplessness, and patron

been worked out for the building

and in very short time actual
work On this unique tunnel will be
