GREAT CROWD AT THE SHOW.
III the Dogs Were on Parade Last
Night.
homing Pigeon Tournament To-Mor-
row Terriers to Have
Big Inning.

BY far the largest crowd that has
been in attendance at the Poultry and
Dog Show in the Pavilion was present
last might The interest is growing, and
If the rules of the American Kennel
Club would allow of the dogs being
shown for ten days, instead of four,
no doubt the attendance would increase
daily and nightly.
About 8 o'clock the dogs were taken,
one after another, into the judging
ring, which was crowded with sight
Seers, and admired and cheered as the
handsome animals We're shown up.
The parade was led by the smallest
puppy in the show, a. pug owned by
little Lottie Huskins of Stockton. Then
followed the great ST. Bernard, Grand
Master After these came handsome
mastiffs, enormous but gentle Great
Danes, well trained thoroughbred
pointers, which were loudly applauded,
Gordon settlers, Irish settlers, fox
hounds, hfe-saving Newfoundlands.
gentle and careful collies, beautiful
long cared cocker spaniels and dogs of
all kinds and classes.
AS each stepped ON the judging plat

but showing their appreciation of the
most magnificent exhibit of dogs ever
seen in Sacramento. There still remains
one more night in which the people
may feast their eyes ON the display of
canines and the best arranged display
of poultry ever made in this State. The
poultry show will be open Wednesday,
as we'll as to-day, and is really worth
many times the price of admission. AT
10 O'Clock tonight the dogs will be
dismissed.
The first prize for handlers has been
awarded to J. H. Lindsay of Stockton,
who had thirty-nine dogs under his
care. T. J. Fish of Oakland, with thir-
ty-two dogs, received second prize.
THE RAT-KILLING.
There was to have been a great rat
discriminating tournament at the Pa
WILTON last night, in which the terrier
classes were to display their prowess,
but owing to an unforeseen accident II
had to be postponed until tonight.
1.-The best-laid plans O. rats and men
gang aft aglee.''
Every thing was in readiness, but the
vehicle in which the rodents were being
taken to the Pavilion broke down and
delayed matters so that 1T was decided
TO put the event off until tonight.

Opera house presented last night the
Irish drama Under Two Flags" 1t
is in prologue and three acts. 1t in
troduced all the members of the COM
pany and in the prologue some very
handsome scenery. It is a romantic
play, full of melodramatic situations
Of strength, and sparkling with Irish
hunor and wit 1t was we'll played and
gave entire satisfaction. The leading
characters were assumed by w. L.
Gleason, Nina Gleason, c. F. Gibney
ard AL Hallett, the latter returning
after a long vacation in comedy fields
to his oldline of heavy villain and in
these exacting parts Mr.. Hallett hasfew
equals. MeSsrs. Wants and Rankin,
Maurice Stewart, Henry Stockbridge
and Eddie Smith each had parts which,
while minor demanded a good deal of
force and individuality, an exaction
fully met. After the drama, which
scored a success, Stuart, the male
Patti" appeared in gorgeous female at
tire and sang a rather difficult selec-
ton in a counter SO nearly high So
prano that it might easily deceive one
who did not know the disguise Stuart

that gives Stuart his peculiar powers
Is phenomenal one and though he has
had 1T in use a. long time, it is as strong,
clear and high pitched as when he first
sang here some years ago. The same

Wednesday.

The next homing pigeon race will not
take place until Wednesday. A large
number of birds have been sent for,
and they will be set free at IL o'clock
