champion pointed to long distance counter
sign right under the point Of his chin.

of the 21st inst. The Dawson and Need ham
contest is slated for the 26th inst at the
California Club.
The directors of the latter organization
contend that as the Pacific Club will have

two events in the same month.

KENNEL CLUB NOTES.
The Pacific Kennel Club met last evening
at u kearny street and appointed Morti-
mer, the well-known judge of benchshows,
TO represent the club at the American Ken
mel Cluo meeting, which will be held in
September. IL appears that the Pacific and
California Kennel clubs have selected the
same dates Tor next years exhibitions i'm
this city, and the American Association. of
which both are members, will have TO de-
cide on the question of which club shall
have the preference as TO date. The inter-
est among local sportsmen in the result is
great indeed
According to report, one club notified the
association, or grand body of dogmen, by
telegraph OF the dates it desired. whereas
the other club applied for the dates by let
ter. According TO the rules of the associa-
ton the first applicant will have the pref
erenee. 1t now remains to be known
whether the letter or the telegram got to its
destination first. This will be decided in
September.
