The dog show of the State Poultry
and Kennel Club opened up yesterday
noon in the Exposition Building, and
considering the time of year in which
1t is being held, may be considered a
great success. The canine chorus is
new in full blast, and the Growing
cocks and the noisy geese in the poul-
try department have been showed un-
der by the yelping and barking dogs.
The latter are well benched, and the
committee having charge of that de-
partment of the show are deserving of
much credit for their labors and the
success that has attended them. The
officers of the association are:
President, J. A. Scholefield of Hollis
ter; Vice-PreSident, E. A. Noyes of
West Butte; Secretary, w. E. Ladd of
Stockton: Treasurer, c. w. Hansen of

The entries of dogs number $50, but
several, chiefly owned in Stockton, did
not fore some reason OF other, show up.
Sacramento was well represented and
several owners of fine animals received
blue ribbons. In a few instances local
dogs were entered in the wrong classes,
but the practical eye of Judge Fellows
discovered the mistake AZ glance.
Should the owners of these days again
enter them for bench show competition
they Will know better how to make their
entries
The attendance last night was quite
large, despite the cold, damp weather,
and the manner of judging dogs in the
ring" was witnessed with much inter-
est. Excellent music was rendered by
the Militant Band. There probably never
was judge show held when the Judge
tor judges) We're not sharply critised
on the results of their work but owners
OF dogs that failed to receive the recog-
milton they expected must remember
that their superior knowledge of what
constitutes the correct type in any par
uicular class, and are more likely to be
correct in their estimate of a dog s
points than" novices.
There are many grand specimens of
dogs, big and little, ON exhibition, some
that possess merit in a more modified
degree, and a few that do not come up
to the standard of their respective
types Nevertheless, the show is rev.
elation to most of the residents of this
city, and as it will continue till Wednes-
day next (also the poultry exhibit),
everyone should manage to attend it.
The Pavilion viii be open o-day for
all that cannot visit the show at other
times.
Ii was late last night when Judge Fell
lows completed his task of passing judg-
ment on the dogs and distributing his
favors in the way of blue, red and white
ribbons. Blue ribbons denoted the win
ners of first prizes in their respective
classes; red, those that won second, and
white went to winners of third. Some
dogs received n. C.'s" (highly COM
qnended), and others 'V. H. C's" (very
highly commended.
In some classes but one specimen was
shown, and these received blue ribbons,
except where otherwise stated A few
classes were passed over until Mon
day owing to informalities that do not
necessarily disqualify the entries. The
awards made are as follows:
