MAY MAKE PEACE
The San Francisco Kennel
Club and the St. Ber-
nards Confer.
Resolutions to Be Rescinded
for the Sake of Har-
mony.
Vigorous Preparations Are Now Going
Forward for the Coming
Bench Show.

The war between the Olympic Gun Club,
lately turned down by the American
Kennel Club, and the San Francisco
Kennel Club is likely to come to an end
before long by mutual concessions and
compromises.
The St. Bernard Club held a meeting
yesterday at the Office of DR.. Cluness, at
406 Sutter street, at which two representa-
tives OF the kennel club were present. 1t
was agreed in general way that if the
Pacific advisory board will rescind its
resolutions against the Oily mpic Gun Club
and make one other concession, which
the committee will not make public, the
ST. Bernard CLUB will rescind its reso-
lutions refusing to show at the San Fran
cisco Clubs exhibit.
The representatives of the San Fran
cisco Club agreed to do all in their power
to induce the advisory board to rescind
the resolutions that have proved so OBJ
jectionable to the st. Bernard people.
The Kennel Club people feel confident
that they will win all their battles. They
say they are not unfrendly to the ST.
Bernard people or the Olympic Club, but
that they won their fight legitimately and
intend to do all that is honorable to win
back the st. Bernard people. who, how
ever, they say, cannot expect to continue
in defiance of the American Kennel Clubs
laws, which forbid the boycotling of any
show.
