DOGS OF All KINDS.
The Great Bench Show in this City
Next Week.

The great Bench Show of the Washing
ton Kennel Club will open at the Washing
ton Light Infantry Hall, Albaugh's Opera
House on Tuesday morning, and the 800
dogs will bark, yell and howl a welcome
to the visitors.
There are dogs ofall kinds, from the big
heavy-jowled mastiff to the cute little toy
terrier; St. Bernards, ,Newfoundlands,d deer
hounds, greyhounds, pointers, settlers, re-
trievers, Irish water spaniels, clumber
spamels, field spaniels, cocker spaniels,
collies, or sheep dogs; poodles,. bulldogs,
bull terriers, basset hounds, fox terriers,
Yorkshire terriers. pugs, King Charles,
spaniels, Blenheim spaniels and Italian
greyhounds.
Experienced dog fanciers said they had
never seen a prospect of q finer show
They thought there were more famous
prize winners than they had ever seen
before under one roof. The New York
show excelled the Washington Kennel
Cubs in point of numbers, but many of
the dogs exhibited at Madison Square
Garden were not worth looking at, and
were wisely barred. The promoters of
the Kennel Club had taken the wheat
from the chaff. The dogs will be placed
in little wire-environed stalls, running
from one end of the hall to the other, and
therefore repress their inclination to bark
and howl.

TRAINING THE HAND.
Exhibit OF the Work Accomplished
the Schools.

Exhibit OF the Work Accomplished In
the Schools.
Manual training was introduced into
the curriculum of the public schools of
Washington in the year 1886, and has at
tracted consid derable attention from those
interested in our sch ool system. The sue
cess of the work during the first year,
then under the charge of a single teacher
and without any specific appropriation,
with the pupils restricted to those in the
advanced classes of the High School, led
to an appropriation for the current year
of $1,000 for the extension of the work.
Theamount of the appropriation for
the use of the white schools during the
present school year, $1,000, supports four
schools of carpentry, in which about
675 boys from the Seventh and Eighth
grades and the High School receive in
struction; one school for Woodworking,
with boys from the High School, two
schools of cookery, accommodating
nearly 500 girls from the grammar schools
and the High School, while 1000 girls
from certain Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
grade schools are taught sewing.
The success of all the work has been
great, fully proving its practical value
and inducing Congress to appropriate the
sum of s., 900 for the next school year.
An exhibit of all the work accomplished
by our public schools In this useful di-
rection will be formally opened by the
Commissioners of the District on Thurs
day afternoon next, at o'clock, at the
Rink, i street, between Sixth and Sew
enth northwest.
The public is invited to attend this
exhibit, which will continue through
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, in olud-
ing the evenings. Friday afternoon,
however, will be reserved for the pupils
the fullexhibit OF the work of our schools
will amply repay all who will be present
