The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-11-19
DOGS ENTERED FOR
THE FIELD TRIALS

The first bench show to be held under
the rules and auspices of the newly born
Pacific Kennel League will be inaugural
ed in Oakland on the Sth of next month
and Will last three days. 1t will be nov
elty in more than one respect, inasmuch
as It will be a show of colIies and cocker
spanieIs only, and the Pacific Coast has
never yet witnessed a speciality show. The
California Collie Club is the enterprising
organization that thus acts as pioneer in
a double capacity, and its courage merits
success Norman J. Stewart of Aromas
is the secretary of the show, and it goes
without saying that the management Will
leave nothing to be desired.
The proprietors of the Verona kennels
have decided not to exhibit their collies,
as the awards will not command other
than local recognition and the same
reason actuates H. II. Carlton, who Will
not place his cookers on the bench under
other than American Kennel Club rules.
