DOGS HAVE THEIR DAY,
Pacific Kennel Clubs Fifth An.
nual Show at Mechanics
Pavilion.
THE MAJESTIC ST. BERNARDs.
CANNES That Won Blue, Red and
White Ribbons-The Judging
Wi End To-Day.

The fifth annual bench show OF the Pa
cific Kennel Club opened yesterday at the
Pavilion.
The benching of the dogs Is much the
same as last year, with the exception OF the
Iordly ST. Bernards, which are housed by
themselves at the east end OF the hall and
In such very comfortable manner as to
reflect credit on the st. Bernard Club and
h. ii. Williams, who superintendent the
construction of the benches.
The ring wherein judgment is passed
upon all breeds OF dogs is situated at the
west end of the Pavilion and the floor is
of rough boards, on which several inches
of sawdust lies.
During the last show given by the Pa
cltic Kennel Club the handlers frequently
came to grief when giving their charges a
little quick exercise before the judge. The
floor was then as smooth as glass, and as
dogmen are not as rule "crackajacks" in
skating they went down before his h1nor,
who, however, left them off with slight
reprlmand and a caution not to indulge
again. SUPERINTENDENT Williams has the
thanks of the handlers for providing on
this occasion a good foundation for the
gallopers.
Some of the kennels are handsomely
decorated in divers colors, but generally
speaking the decorations OF last year were
much prettier, but then there is ample
time for display
James Mortimer, the Judge, who arrived
yesterday, had barely time to change his
travelling costume and jump into ring"
suit when he was called upon to put in an
appearance at the Pavilion.
