ABOUT THE WHEEL

The arrival of five tandems and seven
singles at the ellow Fellow camp has set
things humming again in great shape.
Quick work this, when it is taken into con-
sideration that the wheels had to be gotten
up at the factory with special high gears,
etc. The track has been put into the finest
possible shape, and is without doubt the
fastest mile track in the world today. The
only drawback that this place has for train
ing and record work is, that the majority
of the training and record trials will have
to be made as early as 8 O'Clock in the
the morning, as after 10 a. m. a strong
wind blows steadily the remainder of the
day, which makes it difficult to train. to
say nothing of making record trials. There
seems to have arisen doubt in the minds
of some in regard to the fairness of this
track, as it is said that the last two-thirds
has too much of drop. The owners of
the track have engaged a prominent
engineer at San Diego to measure
and survey the track, and his sur
vey will at once be filed with the racing
board, forever settling the question OF size
and grade of track. W. E. Richie, "the
trick and tramp cyclist," who is with the
Nellie McHenry company, was caller at
the Stearns' camp and spent very pleas

THE BENCH SHOW

The bench show of the Southern Ca!ifor-
mia Kennel club will take place in this city
on April 21 to 24, inclusive. From present
indications the coming show is likely to be
lager than any preceding one in the number
of dogs entered and the different classes
represented. Some of the classes that in
former years have been limited to one or
two entries will this year have at least a
dozen. The Great Danes will be notable
example of this case, dogs of this breed
now being comparatively numerous in this
county, and most of them of excellent
breed. H. G. Borghem of Sierra Madre is
the pioneer who introduced this class and
should be thanked for the bringing out of
breed of such splendid animal.
The several varieties of the canine bull
will probably he the largest exhibit in the
show The fox terriers have for some un-
expected reason. rather fallen off in favor,
though this little beast is one of the most
intelligent dogs in the world. OF the gen.

anime and rate his good points, Field

MIR. j. Otis Fellows of Hornellsville, N.
Y, who will judge the Los Angeles and
Oakland shows. is one of the very few
judges who were born, not made. There are
but few men in America whose connection
with dogs, dog shows and dog matter in
general antedates that of Mr.. Fellowe, and
certainly none can claim a larger circle of

teem than the inimitable "Uncle Dick,''
whose good nature and quaint originality
has placed him in the challenge class with
out competition. Possessed OF keen eye
for beauty, a ready recognition of the SUI
periority in type. good knowledge of an
atomical conformation, and clear, un-
biased judgment, his opinions have al
ways commanded respect and carried
weight wherever given.
"'Uncle Dick has not only repeatedly
judged dogs. but he has been called upon
to judge everythin'? from babies down to
cats; his special formula for Judging the
latter is said to be based on the highest
physical considerations known to catology
AS Mr.. Fellows is one of those sporting
dog men who believe that sporting dogs
should be built for work, we will not be
surprised to see little shaking up in some
of those breeds, which will rebound to the
good of the coast.
1.-THE Los Angeles and Oakland clubs are
certainly to be congratulated in the selec-
ton of one SO we'll and favorably known as
Uncle Dick Fellows
1t might be we'll to remark here that the
Southern California Kennel club is the
only one on the coast that has given a
show every year since its inception. Each
time the interest has increased, until this
year prospects are favorable for the best
bench show that this excellent organization
has ever given. Mr.. c. A. Sumner, the
president of the club, and Mr.. Frank In.
gals, the secretary, are working like
horses to make the show the undOubted
success that it will be.

anything in this line ever produced. BY
the aid of this machine more and superior
fancy riding can be done than has ever
been before attempted.
The rain on Saturday morning spoilt the
first attack on records that the Stearns
team was to make. A. j. Stackpole, the
trainer, was about to send the boys for
unpaced tandem records, but by 10 O'Clock
the track was sloppy and at | l it was a
flowing stream. This rain will call work
off for couple Of days.

California division of the L. A. w. held a

Arthur J. Stackpole and Earl H. Kiser,

Stearns team, made flying trip to Los
Angeles on Saturday on important bus-
ness connected with their recent losses on

wishes to divert me to the question Of free

solution it was in the houee OF repre-

CARLISLE SPEAKS AT NEW YORK.
Talks OF "SOund Money" ut . Banquet Of
the Manhattan Club.

~-'-----.-~~e~es
NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Many men dis
tinguished in political and financial circles
assembled In the rooms of the Manhattan
club last night to meet Secretary Carlisle.
The occasion of the gathering was the re-
csptiOn of the club to the secretary of the
treasury. The guests included men con.
spicuous in both political parties and in
the many factions Of the state and local
politics. Carlisle was loudly cheercd at
his appearance and after n brief reception
abanquet was served. When the viands
had been fully discussed Fred r. COudert
introduced the guest Of the evening, who
was again npplauded He said:
II wanted to be here tonight, because 1
knew that your halls would be thronged
and your tables surrounded mainly by
old-fashioned Democrats who have never
repudiated, and I am sure never will re-
pudiate, the principles of their party
sound money, just taxation, economy in
the expenditure OF the public moneys,
honesty and fidelity in the discharge of of
fcial duty and the preservation of indi-
vidual liberty end the rights of the states.
Unfortunately many distinguished MEM
bers Of our party do not agree with us
upon all these subjects. and We are rapidly
approaching the time when our differ.
ences of opinion must be finally settled by
the majority.
But there Is but one position upon
which there Is any serious difference of
opinion among our Democratic friends.
It Is most important one, for it involves,
In my Judgment, not only the credit and
honor Of the country, but tho good faith
and material welfare of all our people.
1t is proposed to condemn this
ancient Democratic policy-at least 20 far
as 1t relates to the maintenance of a sound
and stable currency-by authorizing the
free coming Of silver at q ratio which
shall make the legal tender silver dollar
worth about one-half as much as the legal
tender gold dollar.
I'm other words. it is proposed that, in.
stead Of continuing the monetary system
based on u gold standard, where it was
placed by Democratic legislation during
the administration Of Andrew jackson.
and where it has been practically ever
since, it shall be SO changed rs to conform
to the monetary system of China, South
America and the small South American
states. We are asked to adopt q policy
which would result in silver mono-met-
allism, and whether we will or
will not take this disastrous policy and in
corporate il into our creed Is the great
question which, as intimated few min
utes ago, must now be settled by the only
tribunal which can pass Judgment upon it.
Honesty is the best policy in politics.
For my part the last ambition of my life
Is to see the Democratic party, to which
have always been attached, retain the DO
sition which naturally belongs to it in
favor Of the maintenance of the public
credit"
