THE KENNEL

Preparations for the annual field trials
have already been begun by the owners
of fine dogs all over the state. Although
the trials do not take place until January
"a, 1898, 1t is known that the list of entries
will be larger than at any previous an
nual event. This will be the fifteenth
competition, and the best dogs in the
state will contest for prizes and honors.
Los Angeles will be represented by a
number of entries. Most Of the local dogs
which will take part have been placed
in the hands Of M. D. Walter, the well
known trainer. and he will leave in few
days for Bakersfield, where the trials
will take place, taking with him several
valuable animals. Among them are
Valiente. belonging to John Schuma-
cher; Donna Elicia and Hope T., own
ed by Captain A. c. Jones. and Fandan-
go, the property Of H. w. Keller of Santa
Monica. The dogs mentioned are Eng
lish settlers of the highest breeding. c.
2. Herbert of Salinas will also send his
pointer, Robert j., to Bakersfield in care
of Mr.. Walter.
Mr.. Walter has remarkable record of
winnings at field trails. He has cap
tured no less than seven derbys, most of
them with Los Angels dogs. The ami
mails that he will take to the coming
events were nearly all purchases from
the famous Lorillard kennels. Hope T.
is the derby candidate of greatest prom
Use. This dog is considered one Of the
fiuest in this part of the state, and Mr..
Walter declares that his chances of cap
turing his eighth derby are better than
they were for winning any of the pre-
vious ones. The other dogs are entered
in the age stake.
\ \ \
An effort is being made among the
owners of fine dogs in this vicinity to
have a coursing tournament at Agricul-
tural park. The coursing events at the
Ingleside track at San Francisco last
week attracted a larger attendance than
most race meets, and great interest was
manifested in the sport. The sport is
clean and exciting to degree that sur
prises those who have never witnessed
it. The use Of the park for the purpose
has been secured, and if sufficient num-
ber of dogs can be secured in the entry
lists the tournament will be given early
in December.

THE PRIZE RING

Kid Lavigne's victory over Joe Walcott
Friday night in San Francisco was
a surprise to the betting element, even
after the decision. 1t was not that he
SO neatly bested his colored opponent,
but that he did it with such apparent
ease, when all Of the supposed authori-
ties on prize ring matters had 80 long
and vigorously asserted that 1t was GER
tain to be Walcott's fight. The result
probably puts an end to the hopes cf
Walcott Of ever becoming Dixon in his
class, and holding the championship, as
long as the man whom Solly Smith of
this city so recently whipped, did before
his defeat. 1t has been stated that the
victory makes Lavigne champion of his
class. 1t does not unless there has been
a recent change in the rules, of which
nothing has been announced. 1t has
long been understood that championship
fights had to be fought to finish, and
this contest, it will be remembered, was
for a limited number Of rounds, twenty
That the fight terminated in the twelfth
does not alter the matter and while La
vigne is undoubtedly the best man In his
class today he is not really the cham
pion in the sense in which that term is
usually understood when used with ref
erence to prize fighters.

Solly Smith is being approached for
another match by Dixon, and he will
probably have to give it to him after d
reasonable time has elapsed. The re-
cent defeat of Dixon was not by any
means the first in which a decision was
rendered against him. He has been
known to let opponents get a decision in
limited contest, and then on the return
fight, which is, If he can make
it so, to a finish, almost kill the

twice as much money as he lost by not

ditions.

SADDLE AND sULKY

The fall meeting of the Pacific Coast
Jockey club begins this afternoon at the
Ingleside track, San Francisco. The
list Of entries Is the largest that has
been announced at any of the meetings
of the club, and 1t Is certain that some
Of the best racing ever given in the west
will be had during the meeting. AS most
of the fast horses which were here dur
ing the recent meet at Agricultural park
are entered, there is considerable local
interest in the races. The purses are
almost the same in amount as were dis
tributed by the Sixth District Agricul-
turai association. 1t had been expected
that J. r. Ferguson would do the start

The uncertainty as to winter racing
this year in New Orleans and other
southern tracks because of the plague
of fever has been a decided help to Cal
ifornia tracks in securing entries from
eastern stables. There are number
Of stables now on the coast that would
not be here had 1t been possible for them
to secure a certainty of racing in the
south, as they had in the past several
years. The offers made by the Califor-
MIA tracks have been better this year
than before and this, combined with the
fear Of the fever, has brought many q
purse winner to the coast. The Dryers,
who have been in this part Of the coun-
try before, will race their stable here
this winter, and the stable of David
Gideon, one of the finest in the east, has
also been sent to California.

It is not generally known, but it Is
nevertheless a fact, that more purses,
both in number and in value, are given
away at race meetings in California
each year than in any other state in
the country, with the single exception
of New York. Were it not for such large
events as the Suburban and the Futur-
ity, California would equal the Empire
state in the amounts she distributes
among the horsemen.

The racing in connection with the an
nual Orange county fair at Santa Ana
was excellent, but there were no SEN
sational bursts of speed by any Of the
entries which endangered records. The
attendance was not as large as had been
expected nor as the excellence of the
sport deserved. The free-for-all pace,
which was expected to be the race of
the meeting, was not the contest that
some OF the slower horses entered in
other events furnished.

At the recent sale at the Morris park
track. in which horses Of the famous
Brookdale stud were disposed of at
auction, Requital, the winner of the
Futurity Of 1895 and Of the Realization
stakes of 1896, was sold to John McCaf-
ferty for $4,000. The price paid for the
horse is a trifle less than 10 per cent of
the amount Of stakes and purses earned
by him during the past three seasons.
Requital is remarkable horse, and but
for the fact that he became i'll at Norris
park early in the season he would have
been quite factor in some Of the lead
ing turf events of the season. AS a
2-year-old, in the Flatbush stakes, Re-
quital made the best performance ever
made by horse of that age for mile.
He ran seven furlongs in 1926 and fin

there is not an important city in the

all its interests by bank cOnsolida-

they have occurred in New York, st.

thus set could well be followed else

The truth is that many commercial
banks in recent years have drifted
away from legitimate commercial
banking for the reason that they have
called commercial banks born outside
of any apparent commercial needs.
They have been compelled, through
giving free exchange and payments of
large interest rates on deposits, to look
to other means of meeting expenses
and earning dividends. The channel

the banks in which they have holdings

would be found greater safety to all,
