BENCH SHOW.
The Coming Exhibition of Dogs
and Poultry.

Field Sports" of San Francisco, re-
ferring to the coming dog and poultry
show in this city, says:
The fanciers of Sacramento are busy
now arranging for the dog show of the
State Poultry and Kennel Club, which
will be held on January 18th to oOth
next. This will be the first show on
the coast under the class scheme lately
adopted by the A. X. G. In order to
be able to provide a winners class,
it is the intention of the club to give
IS per cent. of the entry money to
first and % per cent. to second in all
classes. The classes provided will most
likely be puppy, Junior, senior and
free-for-all, or possibly a novice class
instead of the junior and senior
classes. This latter we think would
be the better, as it would give a class
where previous winners could not be
pitted against dogs of unknown quail
ity.
The long list of classes are use
less. and in fact will prove detriment
to the small shows. The rule requiring
money prizes to be given in three
classes in order to provide a winner s
class is certainly covered by giving as
prizes a percentage of the entries
though it is hard to tell how the A.
X. =. will 'construe' the rule, as con-
structions with the A. K. c. have al
ways been matter of convenience in
stead of logic.
''The Sacramento show last year was
we'll conducted, and it goes without
saying that the coming show will be
run on the same lines. Exhibitors
should begin at once to get their dogs
in condition and make it a point of
special pride to see that the Capital
City has a splendid entry. C. d. Nairn
of Ballston, Or, will judge all classes. .

attic company in grand and comic opera

company. She began her operatic ca
reer with Emma Abbott, and was late
ly strong attraction at the New York
Casino. Besides being an accomplished
singer with a pure and rich soprano
voice she is an actress of unusual pow
er. Miss Mary Darlington, the young
est prima donna of the country, is of
this company The contralto is Miss
Fanny Myers, an artist of wide reputa-
ton; Martin Pache, tenor robusto, and
Mons. Langlois, baritone, are all we'll
known artists in the Eastern musical
circles. who have had much operate
experience. Gilbert Clayton, Robert
Lett and Stanley Felch are comedians
of fine quality who add greatly in sup
port of the leaders. The chorus has

he has for this season an augmented
orchestra thoroughly rehearsed. To-

THE GRIDLEYITES WIN OUT.
BUTTES BOYS TOO MUCH FOR
THE DAVISvILLES.
They Played a Good Game, but It
Was Not q Draw

Probably go people visited Snow

the Gridley and Davisville baseball
teams tried conclusions. The former
won by a score of to l.

lexemplifed by their staying away, and
whether the Davisville, Gridley or Mil

people during the past season have
yelled themselves hoarse over games
between the Gilt Edges and others
which were not one-half SO closely con-
tested as that played yesterday, but
Gridley was not Gilt Edge, and the
frost rime ran away down below chilli
ness.
Henry. the noted Gridley backstop-
locally known as the slowest man in
Gridley-put up a good game after he
had settled down to business and his
pitchers, Sooy and Mills, did good
though not brilliant work in the box
Manuel de Costa did the box work for
the Davisvilles, and the Gridleyites
touched him UP for sixteen base hits,
two of which We're home runs.
| The features of the game were the
home runs batted out by z. Young and
Winters of the Gridleys, and by Bender
of the Davisvilles. Bender played the
game for his people, but could not win

Penitentiary.

That Jacob Bloomberg, who conducts
a secondhand store on Is street. oe-
tween Third and Fourth, is stlll allVe
is no fault of his nineteen-yeaf-olo son
Joseph. Last evening he assaulted the
old man with a pocket-knife, and be-
fore he could be disarmeds he had IN
fiicted several ugly though not serious
wounds on his fathers face and mead
Bloomberg visited the Receiving Hos
pital, where his injuries were attenoeo
to by Assistant City Physician Ogden
and while there told his story to Chief
of Police Drew.
According to Bloomberg's story, his
son Joe had been abusing and kicking
his little sister, when the old man IN
terfered and ordered him to desist.
If I don't quit, what will you do?"
his son asked in sneering and insult
ing manner.
IF you don't let the child alone" re-
piled the old man, I'm break every
bone in your body!'
The boy, according to his father S
statement, Immediately sprang at him
and commenced stabbing and slashing
with his knife, and it was some mo-
ments before Bloomberg could throw
him to the floor and get possession OF
the knife.
The boy, Bloomberg stated, is a ter
Tor to the household, and only few
nights ago he knocked his mother down
came in at l o'clock in the morning
and awoke everybody by cooking his
supper. Bloomberg said he kept quiet
and did not interfere, because the boy s
dren when he attempted to correct
them
Bloomberg has one long and rather
deep cut along the base of the skull,
a scratch over one temple, and a piece
of his nose is missing. He says he is
determined to prosecute the boy for
assault with a deadly weapon, and in
sisted that he be arrested on sight.
Chief of Police Drew issued orders
TO the officers to bring the knife
wielder in as soon as found, and about
10 o'clock last night Captain Fisher
corralled him in the alley between
Sixth and Seventh, j and X streets,
and landed him in jail
The officers say the youth is one of
the very toughest in the city He has
