THE COMING BENCH SHOW

Entries for the forthcoming bench
show closed Saturday night, and upon a
count it was found that the list far sur
passed any heretofore in the history of
the Kennel club in this city. When
the books were completed 175 CANNES
had been registered for exhibition,
which list does not include outside en-
tries. Mail entries bearing postmark
of Saturday will still be accepted, so
that the complete number will not be
known until tonight.
There will undoubtedly be something
over 200 dogs shown, whereas last year
145 was the number. Special prizes are
offered for the handlers showing the
largest number, and this has proved an
incentive for the kennel men to rustic
up entries to be exhibited under their
care. The Pacific Coast Fox Terrier
club has also donated a list of valuable
prizes for that breed, while President
Sumner himself offers various induce
ments to this class, barring his own
dogs.
The settlers have filled we'll and will
make a fine showing. Joe Singers
Stainboul will be down from the north,
where he is now in stud, and Payne will
probably bring Countess Noble, who

THE RACE TRACK

The new appointments of Governor
Budd on the board of directors of Agri-
cultural park are meeting with general
approval. Senator L. j. Rose is too
we'll known all over the state to need
any introduction to horsemen, while
Harry Fleishman has a local reputa-
ton as u man able and willing always
to do the right thing at the right time.
AS things stand now there is every
likelihood that Mr.. Thomas Williams of
San Francisco will get the track lease
on his lately submitted bid. Both of
the new appointees are said to be favor
able to Mr.. Williams, and the result is
almost certain to be favorable to him.
In that event Los Angeles will, next
winter, have racing that will be dis
tnctly worth going to see. Mr.. Will
Jams intends to make of Agricultural
lark a great meeting place for noted
eastern horses, and will at the same
time give race meets in which the Visi-
tors can compete. Thirty days of good
racing are no more than Los Angeles
will stand, az t:'is is to be repeated al
intervals OF a month apart Mr.. Will
Jams made the California Jockey club
of San Francisco what it now is, and is
a power in the horse world. The fact
that the appointees of the governor are
said to be favorable to him is a cause of
self congratulation to all race lovers
of Los Angeles.
Mr.. Williams will sub-let the club
house at nominal rent to Ed. Ryan.
the former lessee, as his present en-
sagements will not permit him to take
personal possession of the park until
next winter. All through the summer
he will work with the fixed idea Of
giving Los Angeles as much good rae

of racing Los Angeles can stand a great

THE ROPED ARENA

1t is stated that Martin Murphy, the
wellknown trainer is endeavoring to
bring down Tom Sharkey. the San
Francisco heavyweight, and match him
against big Jim Jeffres some time dur
ing Fiesta week for a limited go. 1t
would be extremely difficult to secure
any place where the men could meet,
for the publicity of the affair would put
Los Angeles out of the question as
battle ground. Moreover. Sharkey is
just now engaged to meet Joe Choynski.
the clever heavyweight. who has agreed
to stop the former in ten rounds The
go will take place in San Francisco be-
fore the Olympic club.
Mr. William Manning, of feeble pugil-
istic fame, but great as a dispenser of
physical culture in small doses. has ex-
pressed desire to meet and pound into
small powder that shining light of the
ring, Billy Gallagher. Now, Gallagher
weighs twenty-five pounds less than
Manning, and is not of the same Sandow
proportions. But If Mr. Manning should
by the merest accident-get into a
twenty-four foot ring with Gallagher,
at the end of three rounds Williams
maternal ancestor would have great
difficulty in recognizing the features of
her darling boy. A word of advice,
William, at the right time is often good.

RECORDS AT CORONADO

Worw comes from II. b. Bleezen, San
Diego, as follows:
Cold weather and heavy winds since
the rain of a week ago have made it
impossible to make any attempts for
records but it is now thought from
the present indications that favorable
weather will be had this week, and
trials for all classes of records up to one
mile will be made. AS we have but one
pace making machine, the sextuplet, all
attempts will have to be made with the
aid of this one machine, and while it is
expected that we will be able to lower
all of the existing records, it will be the
first time that records have been broken
under circumstances like this, for rec
ord-breaking teams have heretofore had
at least three or four multiple machines,
such as triplets or quads. From pres
ent indications the big six-seated "Yel-
low Fellow" will be able to carry the
men fast enough, and such being the
case the records will truly be remark
able ones. The men are all in excellent
condition and are riding very fast, and
as there are only four more weeks re-
naming in which records can be made
there vii surely have to be lot of live
ly work done to get them

ALL.DAY SHOOT

An all-day shoot at both live birds
and blue rocks was given yesterday at
the ground; of the Los Angeles Jun
club, about half mile beyond Westlake
park. The occasion was the regular
monthly shoot of the club for medals,
after which several sweepstakes were
in order. A strong wind blew all day
from the west, and, considering the Cir
cuinstances, good scores were made. In
the morning eighteen competitors lined
up for the medals, each to have fifty
blue rocks. Van ValkenberE did the
best work and secured the first class,
with forty-three to his credit. Hol-
brook came next, with total of thirty
SIX securing the second place. Next on
the programme was a sweepstakes at
ten live birds, S5 entrance. Sixteen men
faced The traps in this event. First
money, 500, was won by White with a
clean c,c, some very Gle, CT work be-
ing exhibited. In only four instances
did he have t, resort to the second bar
rel, making clean k G. cry tim. Sec
ond money OF s12 was :ivided between
Bruner, katz, Leighton, Mason and
West, each with eight birds. The third
money, SS. went to Schumacher, Rex and
Vodra. who each had seven kills. The
score is as follows:
Open sweepstakes, IS entry, ten live
birds; first, 500; second, S12; third IS.
The herald., 1896-04-13

The birds were only a fair lot. but
number of strong flyers required the sec
ond barrel when hard hit. In several
instances when the trap was sprung the
bird refused to fly and required to be
pelted with stones to induce him to rise.
The shooting was done from unknown
traps at thirty yards rise.
Upon the completion of the above
match, there still being birds on hand,
q pot was made OF 81 each at one bird,
miss and out. For this there were twen-
ty-one candidates. Remarkably good
work was done, every man killing his
target save one. After five shots on
the second round the birds gave out
and the match was drawn, entrance
money being returned, minus the price
of the pigeons. This second lot proved
lazy and slow flyers. which in a meas
ure accounts for the clean scores made.
Blue rocks were again resorted to and
two pots at 81 entry at ten targets were
shot Off No very excellent shooting
was done in these, and as darkness had
fallen the days sport was closed. A
team from Los Angeles is to be made up
to attend the state sportsmen's shoot
on May 20 and 81, in the north. With
the excellent material at hand the team
can be chosen which will give the north
erners a hard rub to maintain their

Canton, Ohio, Oct. 24-Nearly a

today and nearly a dozen states were
represented. At nine o'clock the first
delegation, four hundred strong from
Pennsylvania marched up the hill to
the Mckinley residence and were
greeted by the major with one of his
happiest talks.
1t was after six o'clock p. m. when
the last great delegation of two thou
sand railway men from st. Louis and
East st. Louis marched, shouting and
cheering down the hill from the Nc
Kinley house.
Enthusiasm reached its height and
the most intense pitch today and Mai
Mckinley'S speeches seemed to arouse
and stir all those who came to hear
more deeply than ever.
Upwards of twenty-five delegations
formally called on Major Mckinley
today and he made twelve speeches

were torn down and carried away by

enough to Major Mckinley to touch
his garments. Major Mckinley is in
fine health and spoke with his usual

heaviest work in the campaign had
been done today.
