TO Two Valuable Terriers.

The Pacific Kennel Clubs bench show
iermin al 0;30 o'clock last evening"
In every particular it was great success.
From financial point OF view the secretary
states that it was very satisfactory.
Although no estimate could be given last
evening, the officers expect. after all ex-
penses are paid. that there win be balance
of about 5000 left to the credit of the cub.
the gathering of people in the Pavilion
yesterday afternoon and last evening was,
as expected, large and fashionable.
Some people journeyed from as far south
as Los Angeles and as far north as Portland
and Seattle 10 witness the exhibition
An unfortunate accident occurred last
evening by which Mrs. E. B. Grace of 1910
Vallejo street lost her handsome Yorkshire
terrier ISIS" which she valued so highly
that selling price did not figure on the
catalogue under the terriers name.
In fact isis" was notfOr sale ltappears
that Sis" was taken from her kennel by
some person who was deDutized to look
after the terrier dogs, and as she had
neither collar nor strap by which she could
be held in place she easily broke away from
her handler and escaped through the crowd
Of people that had congregated around the
kennels.
Miss ISIS" soon found the main door
leading into the Pavilion, and rushing past
the doorkeepers she ran into the street.
Becoming bewiidered the little pet failed to
notice cabe-car that was passing and
was run over and killed before any of the
show attendants were aware Of where she
had taken legs for.
Mrs. Grace fel; the loss of her charge al
most as much as II she had lost child, but
no blame can be attached to the elnb under
the circumstances, as the owner did not
comply with the rules as regards collars
and attachments. The rules further stated
that exhibitors must distinctly understand
that the management will not be response
Die for the loss or damage to any dog exhib-
tied whether the result of accident or other
cause.
Mrs. J. B. Martins fox terrier Blemton
Rapture also met with an accident which
will disfigure 1t TO great extent as show
dog hereafter. Blemton Rapture got into
same little dispute with her kennel neighbor
which resulted in a swapping contest at
short range.
The result of the terriers quarrel was
loss to Miss Blemton of piece of one OF her
ears, which was snapped off as clean as
WHISTLE and which piece of flesh the owner
Will keep in remembrance OF the show.
Othersthan disagreement, the terrier will
not remember in a few days that she had
had Saturday nights quarrel.
1t was amusing to watch the big and little
dogs retiring from the Pavilion last even
ing. Ii took the com mbined efforts OF some
Of the most powerful attendants to keep the
great Danes and other great and ponderous
dogs from holding a battle royal.
Fortunately, however, there was not
single case of disturbance, and every dog
that looked so wlstfully at its owner from a
Gagged point of view just before the time of
closing skipped off to his permanent place
of abode with an air of freedom and
pleasure when the big bell rang forth the
liberation OF the CANNES that would have
made the celebrated tramp dog "Owney"
