The members OF the local Kennel clut
are at present discussing the advisability
of joining in the arrange ments for a
coast bench show circuit, and il is pos
sibls that at the next meeting some &C
ton will be taken in regard to the mat
ter. The plan was originated lately in
San Francisco. 1t is proposed to have a
circuit embracing six clubs and to hold
the shows. at convenient intervals in
each city. II the dates can be agreed
upon, it is expected that the leading ex-
hibits will be seen at each show on the
circuit, and in this way the fancers will
have an opportunity OF seeing and COM
pairing all the dogs on the coast, and the
public will get much more for its money
and be more interested in the shows.

In q case recently decided in the
supreme court OF Minnesota entitled
Thompson VS.. Dodge. the language of
the opinion ia interesting to every
bicycle rider. The action was brought
to recover damages for injury to q car
riage which the owner slledged was
caused by the csrelessness OF q bicycle
rider. The decision contained the fol-
lowing straight talk.

highway has the same rights In so doing as per-
sons using other vehicles thereon. highway
is intended tor public use, and person riding
or driving horse has no rights superior 20
those OF Il person riding bicycle. In the use
of public highway there are certain rights of
the road which must be observed by all persons
and violation of those rights constitutes
actionabe negligence. A bicycle is vehicle
now used very extensively for convenience,
recreation. pleasure and business, and the rid

nary manner, as now done is neither unlawful
nor prohibited, ana they cannot be oaulshed
because they were not ancient vehicles and
used in the Garden of Eden by Adam aud Eve.
Because person chooses TO drive a horse

and other runners, and is also training

string.
The Santa Anita string OF runners will

1t was expected few of the horses
would be sent up to the Bay district this
spring. but the idea has probably been
given up.
The California Turf is authority for
the statement that old man Willets is
willing to part with Silkwood for $50, 900.
That old Southern California cham
pion, John Treat, has been off the turf
for nearly three seasons, but is not dead
or even asleep. He has been stabbed at
Agricultural park for tine past two weeks,
and is matched for $3.50 o side to run
six furlougs against the stallion Doctor
Crawford on Monday next at 2 p. m.
Crawford won two races here along in
August last, both of which were
matches, and ia horse OF good speed
anu great endurance.
He was beaten at three-furlong heats
by Vendome last month. but Vendome
is quicker on his legs, and got off in the
lead so rapidly that each heat WAS vir-
tually over before Crawford got we'll
settled into hie stride.
Old John Treat has been called "the
iron horse" and has won many q dea-
perately contested race. With the
single exception OF Mr.. Dryers horse
Banquet, he 10 the best and most COM
Bistent csmpaigner on the American turf.
Thers being but one race that day no
admission fee will be charged at the
track. The veteran Ructioneer, Noyes,
will sell the pools. The horses will
start promptly at 2 O'Clock. The track
was never in better condition for fast
race.
]. Malcolm Forbes has q youngster
that will attract marked attention some
day; a colt by Arion, 2:0734, out of q
producing daughter of Alcyone, 2:27,
the grandsm being an inbred daugh ter
of the famous racehorse Wagner. Such
a colt is indeed q prizs in the lottery OF
breeding.
Directly, 2:O724, won $500 for Monroe
Salisbury last season, which is pretty
good for 2.year-old.
The directors of the Athletic club are
on the eve OF announcing an event which
will attract more attention from those
who are interested in boxing and the
pugilists than any attraction yet offered
by the club.
George F. Green of the Olympic club
OF San Francisco, champion lightweight
of the Pacific coast, is anxious to meet
Billy Gallagher, the instructor of the
Los Angeles club. He offers to meet
Gallagher for any reasonable purse the
club may see fit to offer, and, incident
ally, wants to bet $1,000 on the side that
he can put to sleep the pride OF Los Au-
geles in the puglistic line.
The club management look with favor
on the proposition. Glove contests are
popular now. aud the club has sue
ceeded in getting good crowd out for
any event of she kind it has attempted.
The former entertainmsn ts have not
been very ambitious efforts, and the
management believes the time is right
for notable event. Gallagher Is very
popular here, and it is probable that the
$1,000 side bet would not be overlooked
by his friends, who think him able to
stand before any lightweight on the
coast.
