MIA Great Dane Club held recently 1t was
decided to offer CUPS medals and special
prizes for the Great Dane dogs at all bench
shows to be hereafter held in this State.
committee was appointed to communi-
cate with Eastern and European breeders
and experts AMI establish standard of
points to be considered in awarding prizes
to this breed of dogs. Hereafter there
will be known on this coast two classes of
Danes = one the heavy massive type
known in Europe and the East as the Ul-
mer dog, and the other the slimm or
hound type as the Great Danes. The next
meeting of the club will be held at room
a. eighth floor of the Mills building, on

English capital will be back OF the en-
terprise to the extent Of millions OF
pounds. 1t will be a com petition sach as
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company has
never had before. The projectors will
have nothing to fear and no favors to ask
from the present menopoly.
At the present moment report is being
prepared in this City to be forwarded to
one of the wealthiest corporations in Lon
don. This is being done by prominent
representative of the corporation referred
to, who is in this City temporarily on
business. This gentleman had occasion
recently to make trip on the Pacific
Nails steamer Acapul CO. betw cen Panama
and San Francisco.
During his voyage he saw and learned
enough to warrant him in making a re.
port to the directors of his company, sug-
gest ing to them the advisabilItY of esta B.
fishing line of steamers in opposition to
the Pacific Mail.
He gathered full and detailed inform a.
ton Of the possibilities of trade between
San Francisco and Central and South
America, and of the financial and COM
mercial standing of the countries to the
south of the United States. The result oi
his investig ations was more than encour-
aging. This, with his experience of the
lnefhclenCy ana lnaueQuaCy OF the service
OF the Pacific Mail, indu ced him to take
up the matter.
Speaking of the subject yesterday he
said:
while the difference between San
Francisco and Panama is somewhat
greater than between Panama and Val
paraiso, there are three times as many
steamers engaged in the trade between
the isthmus and the Chilean port than
between this port and Panama. And as
to rates, the Pacific Mail charges betwee n
three and four times as much as the COM
panies that operate to the south of the
isthmus.
1.-THE two principal companies that run
vessels out of Valparaiso to Panama are
the Pacific Steam Navigation Company
and a com pany of Chileans. The latter
company pays it's share holders about 20
per cent; what the other pays l do not
know. But from these facts it can he esti-
m ated what enormous dividends the Pa
cific Mail stockholders must be getting
from their San Francisco-Panama line.
"Four steamers a week are dispatched
from VALPARAISO for Panama and way
ports, while the Pacific Mail sends out
only one steamer every ten days. There
is at least three times the quantity OF
cargo carried from Valparaiso north than
there is from San Francisco south.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the

Charles Mayer, an Aged Paraiytic, As
phyxiated by Gas.
Charles Mayer, 60 years of age, was acct
dentaliy suffocated by gas in his home, 1926
Clay street, last evening. Mayer, who
for several years had been victim Of
paralysis and confined to his room, was
in the habit of resting on lounge in his
bedroom. A few feet above the lounge
was gasiet, and under it piece of sand
paper was placed that matches might be
scratched without marking the wall.
Mayer, it is thought, endeavored to light
match on the sandpaper and accidentally
turned on the jet, which was out of order.
At o'clock his son, Samuel Mayer. on

If Jeffries could strike straight from
the shoulder he would prove to be dan
gerous man. His only blow is a left-hand
hook, which he telegraphs every time he
leads. Rubin is quick and tolerably
clever but he showed some white feather
last evening. FtZsimmons can easily
whip both men III the same ring.
The first event on the programme was
to have been fifteen-round contest be-
tween the midd e. weights, E. o Malta OF
Oakland and Charley Gt IF of the San Fran
cisco Athletic Club, but 1t was finished in
the third round. OMAHA had the best of
the first round, as Golf took matters easy.
In the second round Golf woke up when
he received coupe of hard lefts on the
nose and then the battle was on.
1t was hot round TO the finish, and
the mems faces were painted red when
the gong sounded TO corners.
The third round was a repetition OF the
second. OMAHA fought game battle,
but Goff's left glove was continuously in
his face
The fighters paid no attention to body
blows. The face was the objective point
OF attack and Golf sent OMAHA on his
Dack Just before the gong sounded by
straight left on the chin. The blow that
made y Malta sick vas flush right on
the eye, which cut wide cash over the

Charles Reno of San Fran cisco and
Bob McCrosson were the next brace of
short-haired celebrities to put in an ap-
pearance.
Billy Jordan announced that it would
be ten-round go.
The bout was quite interesting. Nc
Crosson proved to De a game little fellow
who has vet much TO learn about self
defense. Reno is an old ring general. but
notwithsts nding that he painted McCros-

Gus right-hand punches, the little fellow

came to the scratch ready to take and
give punishment.
