Just now the dog-fanciers and kennel-oWners
of San Francisco and Oakland are looking Ior-
ward to coming here and then going TO san
Jose, where bench and poultry sho" Will Do
held in October.
The stockton show will be ahead of that at
San Jose, for it will be held during the week
commencing September 90 and will last four
days, while the Garden City bench show will
not be open until some time in October.
The expense of holding the proposed exc
morning. If it can be arranged to have J.
Otis Fellows act as judge for both Stock ton
and San Jose he can probably be secured for
81 so for each show. the total expense OF the
show cannot be much less than $780, accord
ing to the estimates made this morning. John
Heffernan and John E. Doak, both local dog
fancers figure the cost at something like
$780, AS the Agricultural Society is looking
at the show from purely business standpoint
it will not be liable to undertake the venture
unless it sees its way clear to make something
from it.
At the lowest calculation Sinclair and Doak
figure that 225 dogs will be in the show.
II is notoproposed to offer any cash prizes for
the winners, but to give silver medals 20 win:
ners of first prizes and diplomas to winners OF
seconds: The Spaniel; Fox Terrier and ST;
Bernard clubs will without doubt offer special
prizes outside of the association, which will
be an additional incentive for the owners OF
valuable dogs in these classes to send them to
Stockton.
According to Doak there will be seventy:fve
entries from this city alone.
Sinclair says that the members of the vari-
Gus kennel clubs in San Francisco have been
talking for some time of the prospect OF the
Kennel Club here holding bench show and
have agreed If they can get the assistance OF
the local club that they will charter boat and
come up here in body next September.
There will probably be two special prizes for
handlers or dogs, one of $50 and one of $40, to
induce good dog handlers to come here
What the kennel-owners want very much is
to establish circuit, so that there will be
regular route for the dogs to travel each year.
The circuit viii be San Francisco, Oakland,
Los Angeles, Stockton and San Jose in Califor-

In all probability the races here will be post

Now, want to tell you g little regarding
the Louisville meet. What pleasure it would
be to see some OF our California friends at
this meet. Charlie Wells, Otto Ziegler and |
were talking it over last night, and If we could
only enthuse some of the boys feel sure they
would not miss this great event. The '96

for the entertainment of visiting wheelmen,
and assure you that those who come viii be
well paid in pleasure and exciting races dur

Otto will be in excellent form for this meet
and will try their Denver tactics of 94 over
again.

Local boat clubs are making extensive
preparations for the championship re-
gatta at Stockton on September 8. Every
club has full contingent of oarsmen now
in active training and the presens outlook
for large entry list is very bright.
The South End and Pioneer clubs, who
have been handicapped in past regattas by
not having outrigger skiffs, have each
given orders for this style of boat and soon
every club on the bay will be equipped
with them, and as each club intends to
make an entry for every event on the
programme of the Stockton regatta it. will
be quite interesting to note which club
carries off the lions share of the victories.
The South End Club has John Foley in
the junior single scull, and Gus Carson,
the afterwaist man of the clubs cham

outrigger race. Frank Duplissea. the coast

How to Remedy the Evil.


10 the E!ltor OF The Evening STAR
Relative to government clerks who VIII
not pay their just debts when able to do
so. I desire to say that the honest en-
ployes who greatly in the majority,
would be glad to have the "dead-beats"
weeded out Of the departments. No legis-
lation on the subject is necessary. The
remedy lies with the appointing power
Unjust claims are sometimes made and
the accused clerk should have the benefit
of any doubt which may exist. The heads
of departments cannot be expected to re-
solve themselves into courts OF justice to
try such cases, but thing could be
done IN that direction. If a debt for neces-
saries Is admitted, or If judgmen. for the
amount has been obtained in a court of
law, the delinquent clerk should be given a
reasonable time to make a settlement and
II he falls to pay the debt, his place should
be given to some mere worthy person. If
promotions and tenure OF Office depended
more upon honesty, ability and efficiency
and less upon influence and politics. 1t
would be considered an honor to hold an
appointment under the government. A per-
son would be respected and trusted from
the mere fact that he holds such a posi-
ton, which is hardly the case under the
present system.
The man who cheats his lani!ady will
swinde the government if he gets chance
The clerk who finds it cheaper to move
than to pay rent should be made to move
out of the government service l, for one,
do not wish to be associated with such
people. Turn the rascals out.

has been taken to Chicago by his son-in-

Mrs. Miller looked after him and he was
