THE KENNEL.
Glasses That VIII Be Judged ir

Classes That VIII Be Judged In
Stockton by Mason and Fellows.
Next Wednesday the American Kennel
Club will decide whether the newly born
San Francisco Kennel Club or the Olym-
pic Gun Club will give show in this City
this year.
Both clubs have applied for dates, but
as the Olympic Gun Club was first in the
field it Is certainly entitled to the prefer
ence.
Judging from letter that was recently
received by a local sportsman from a
prominent dog-fancier of New York, the
result that will, in ali reliability, accrue
from the meeting of the parent club, will
not prove satisfactory to the Olympic Gun
Club.
The letter states that high pressure has
been brought to bear upon prominent in
dividuals of the American Kennel Club
by some California dog-fanciers with the
object of having the settlement of the
question given TO the Pacific Advisory
Board, which board Is under the influence
OF one man, who is said to have been the
prime originator of the so-calIed San
Francisco Kennel Club.
II will be a very agreeable surprise to
the Olympic Gun Club if the A merican
Kennel Club should decide in its favor
Certainly Ii the officers OF the American
Kennel Club thoroughly understood the
situation here and would be Influenced by
a majority vote of the sports men and dog
men OF this City. and coast, then the
Olympic Gun Club would win the day
with flying colors.

The beautiful snow has blocked the
hopes of the pugilists who are training in
Nevada for the championship battle. Cor
bett says that as long as he can have
chance to play handball he is satisfied
and that General Snow can do all the
blowing he likes. As the weather condl-
tions are not favopable to fine weather for
some days to come, and as the pugillsts
have only limited time in which TO
train, it is hoped that the storm king can
be induced to take trip to France.
The wheelmen are in hopes OF having

Anglers will certainly not visit towns
which are wIthin convenient reach of
trout streams unless they know positively
that they can catch trout. If the people
of Ukiah feel proud of man who can
destroy thirty or forty steelheads in a day
with spear while the fishes are securing
on their spawning beds they are certainly
welcome to the honor; but their pockets
must suffer the consequence, as local
anglers will be sure 10 give any such
place wide berth during the open season
for trout catching, which mmences on
April 1.
1t stands to reason that if the parent
fishes of the little ones which afford the
rod-casters so much enjoyment in the
spring and summer months are slaugh-
tered in the crude manner of the aborigi-
mes when on their spawning beds and
while in the act of reproducing their
species there certainly cannot be any
small fishes to populate the stream which
in all probability will be pointed out to
visiting anglers as one of the finest"
trout streams IN the State.

this will be followed by fifteen, twenty,
twenty and ten bird races the entrance
fees for which will be 70 cents, III and
% cents. The final event will be a ten
bird novelty race, or novelty rule race,
which means that every old thing goes in
tie line of guns, ammunition, etc.
On Monday the feature of the tourna-
ment will be ''freezeout," and judging
from the present appearance OF the
weather the event will prove remarkably
successful. The contest will be for the F.
H. webster trophy and shooters will be
handicapped according to their skill.
This will give Merton G. Allen, Tom
Barney, Dave Thorn, John Butler, Clar-
