THE KENNEL

The ninth annual bench show of the
Southern California Kennel club which
closed at Hazards pavilion Saturday
evening, was from a strictly fancers
standpoint the best ever given to the
southern part of the state. For the total
number of entries, the number of high
class dogs was exceptionally large, the
arrangement of the pavilion was all that
could be desired, and the treatment Of
visitors was above criticism; but for all
that. it is very doubtful as to whether
the exhibition paid the actual expenses.
This being the case, the gentlemen in
charge of the club, who will have to
make up the deficit if there is one, should
put on their thinking caps at once to de-
wise ways and means to put the annual
show on a sound financial basis and
make it pay its way. And in this connec-
ton, a few suggestions may be in order.
To begin with, there should be a thor
ough canvass of the city, and every
member of the club should constitute
himself a committee of one to add to the
club membership, so that lovers of every
breed of dogs will be represented in the
organization. Then there should be an
absolutely equitable distribution of the
prizes, more especially the specials, v
according to the number of entries, and,
as far as possible. the practice of award
ing more than one prize for some monde
script dog, often an inferior specimen,
which secures the award simply be-
cause there is absolutely no competition,
should be minimized. Then, too, an eff
fort should be made to have some at
tractive feature for each evening. 1t
does not take the ordinary visitor very
long to look over the exhibit, and this
having been accomplished, there is no
incentive to go again. On more than one
occasion the matter of having the dog
show and poultry exhibit together has
been agitated, but the two interests have
never been able to come together just
why no one seems to know as their inter"
ests in no wise conflict but such is the
case. Whether it would be good thing
or not is somewhat of problem, but it
is at least worth considering. Then, too,
the next show, for financial reasons
should be held in the business part of
the city, as the receipts from tran
sients" would make quite difference II
he revenues. The gentlemen who hav
Kept up the show are entitled to tn
lighest credit, and these few sugges
lions are not offered in the way of crit
lcism, but are merely given as pointers"

THE RING

AS Corbett and Fitzsimmons get fur
ther east they begin to feel the effects
of their decidedly unwise, if not abso-
lutely idiotic, attitude toward the press
Of the country. These two mighty men,
who would never have amounted to as
much as the fly on the wheel, so far
as money making was concerned, but
for the advertising they received, sold
out to two newspapers one in San
Francisco and one in New York, for the
Carson fight. That is to say, for sum
in hand paid, they agreed to sign their
respective names to a lot of twaddle
written to order by the reporters, and
given out as daily bulletin from the
fighters themselves. They even sold out
the exclusive privilege of having their
precious mugs photographed for these
papers.
The so-called official bulletins sent
cut were the veriest rot that ever ema-
mated from human brain. The press of
the country did not suffer so far as the
actual news features were concerned.
either as to the fight or the events pre-
ced1ng 1t, but the action of the fight
ers was regarded as a deliberate snub
to the entire press for few hundred
dollars in ready cash. But things have
changed. There is hardly a sporting

A fistic meeting between Peter Maher
the Irish CHAMPION, and Sharkey the
sailor boy, would create intense excite
ment, says Sporting Life. Maher evil

place, for he has begun to train at his

adjoining the Coney Island race track
Peter has a natural liking for the sea-
shore for training purposes, and so, too,
has Sharkey. 1t is said that the sailor
boy dislikes seeing much company
while he is preparing for contest, and
that being the case, if the match is made,
he may take up his quarters at Oceanic.
where Kid Lavigne usually prepares for
most of his bouts. 1t would be better
for the sake of sport that Maher and
Sharkey would fight elsewhere than
in New York city. Boxing is flourish
ing there at present as it has never
fiourished before. 1t would be too bad
to have anything occur that would in
terfere with it. AS long as the contests
are not between heavyweight stars of

The carnival of sports to be given at
Athletic park on Thursday will undoubt-
edly be one of the best conducted and
arranged series of athletic events ever
given in this section. The serious incon-
venience to the spectators at last years
La Fiesta sports was a lesson which this
years committee has studied closely,
and as a result they have made excellent
efforts to accommodate the public. With
this end in view they have erected at
considerable expense royal box for
the queen, which outside of her throne
at the tribunes Is more elaborate than
any similar structure. At each end of
the queens throne they have also erected
a large and commodious grand stand,
seated with chairs. These will be re-
served with coupon tickets. Plans can
be seen and tickets secured on Monday
at the regular box office. Beside this the
track and the grounds have been thor
oughly roped and a large force of police
will be detailed to maintain order and to
prevent all but actual contestants and
officials from occupying the center of the
ring.
AS will be seen from the following
sketch showing the arrangement of the
grounds the finish of all races will be
on the west side of the track, and imme
diately in front of the queens stand, in
stead of on the east side, as heretofore.
The great advantage of this is that X

seated spectators the interesting portion
of the race, the burst of speed on the
home stretch and the flying fight for first
position at the tape.

REQUIRES JUDGMENT.
Starting a Herd of ThOrOughbreds IN
Serious Undertaking.

We have received numerous inquiries
from young breeders throughout the
country of late. asking our advice as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of starting in the pure
bred swine business, and how they shall
go about it to build up herd. This
Is a subject upon which we do not wish
to give advice, says the Prairie Farmer,
for the reason that very much of the
success of the swine breeding business
depends upon the adaptability of the
breeder TO the business. Where one
breeder will succeed and make money
out of the business, another, under like
conditions, will totally fail, and this is,
perhaps, wholly due to the want of
his liking to the business or his judg-
ment in carrying On the business.
We do not know of any time in the
history of pure-bred swine breeding
when there was so favorable an oppor-
tunity for young men to work into the
business. But it must be done in a
careful, judicious way, and expansion
must come with maturing Judgment.
There is a constantly increasing de-
mand for the best sort of pigs that ex-
perienced breeders can raise, and we
think that the demand for them will
not decrease for many years to come.
Our first advice would be to all who
wish 10 enter the business to post them
selves up well as to details-not only
as to the proper handling and manage
ment of the old and the young stock.
but as to the breeding of popular fam
lilies and getting them into line with
such stuff as there will likely be de-
mand for.
There would be just as much reason
in manufacturer loading up his ware
house with lot of goods for which he
anticipates a demand after awhile, but
for which there was no present call. as
there is for a breeder to raise uncalled
for stuff. A breeder must produce just
such things as the buyer wants, and if
the taste of the buyer changes year after
year the breeder must change with him.
1t is all right in sentiment to educate
the buyers up to what you have to SELL
ii you can do it, but many have found
this process uphill work.
