iels, field spRniels, clumber spRniels,
collies, bulldogs, bull terriers, Boston
terriers, Jap spaniels, daschundes and
Mexican hunters.
Altogether the display will be one of
unusual interest and we'll worth seeing.
The great Irish setter, Champion Dick
Swiveler, and the champion pointer,
Sally Brass, will both be sent. Neither
of these dogs has been seen here yet,
and such noted animals all over the
country always draw large attendance.
il it is only to get sight OF them. The
hall is unusually we'll ventilated, and
as very large proportion of the visitors
will be ladies, great care will be had
that everything shall be clean and the
kennels made as attractive as possible.
The judging will commence on
Wednesday, the first day of the chow,
promptly at o'clock, Mr.. A. @. Wad-
dell OF Cotfeyville, Kas., starting with
bn ~. %ak al
until the list is disposed of. Mr.. Wad-
dell is unknown to any one here, but
has the reputation Of being a fearless
sporting classes. At Denver, whore he
judged for two years running, his awards
we're universally accepted. On Thurs
day Mr.. Waring will iudgs the bull ter
riers and fox terriers, commencing at l
O'Clock, and these classes being we'll
filled, it is expected that the work OF
that afternoon will be taken up by these
breeds. The greatest interest is being
shown this year in the terriers, as there
will be some very strong competition.
Baby Rssper, the new dog from Eng
land, bought by Mr.. Rssper for S.
Oawston, makes his first appearance
in the show ring, and Ford Veni,
MitchelPe new dog, with Hillside Con-
quer0r, a novice from Thayer's kennels,
which comes in from Rsdlands is also
new. Then, from San Francisco there is
Blemton Refer, Well-known winner.
Altogether, Mr.. Waring will have the
best terriers before him ever shown
here. Amongst the ladies there are
about 10 entries, two puppies by Blem
ton Reefer, new Importation from the
SeNcroft kennels and some Biemtou
Volunteer progeny. The St Rarnasds
will be also very strong, while the
pointers will be more numerous than
ever and the quality far superior.
1t must be remem bered that this dog
show is purely philRnthropic affair;
the club makes no money, but gives
all its earnings in prizes, and when O
show does not pay, the members
quietly put their hands in their pockets
and foot the bills. The improvement OF
the breeds, the prevention of cruelty,
and the conviction of dog thieves and
exposure OF dog prisoners is the aim of
the club; and it must be remembered
that much of the abuse of the dog
catching ordinance has been rectified by
the efforts OF the Southern California
Kennel club.
This year the street car companies
have virtually prohibited persons from
carrying dogs on the cars, and to many
this has worked hardship. The Ken
mel club requested them to waive the
rule during the show as an accommoda-
tion to the persons ex hill biting their dogs,
but the company would not do 80. Con-
sequently large petition is being got
up, asking for people to be allowed to
take dogs on the dummy or front plat
form of cars on payment of FIVE cents,
and this petition Will be in the hall at
the dog show for signatures. The gates
are to be- opened at 10 O'Clock on the
18th, and the admission will be only 25
cents, so that all will be able to take the
show in.
