OAKLAND, Dec. s.-The first spe- cialty show ever held in California opened in Oakland to day and was unqualifiedly a bowling success in every respect. Thanks to Secretary Stewards timely recovery from an attack of ague, the show was at the last moment responsive to the touch of master hand. Able assistance was rendered in the ring by Messrs. Harker and Berret The show is benched by Spratt's patent. and the dogs fed by the same firm, which attends also to the disinfection. It goes without saying that the building is devoid of i'll odors and that the kennels are clean and sweet smelling Thomas Banks repre- sents the firm with his usual efficiency, and is prodigal both with the food and disinfectants.
 To bench show veterans the greatest surprise lay in the judging MT. Tyler of Pasadena has surpassed the fondest hopes of those who expected the most from him. He has long enjoyed the renown of being the most capable poultry judge of the coast, but his discriminating fac ulties in canines were revelation. In the cocker class, with twenty-two entries, there was not one that could be fairly criticized. Trilby MT. Cartons cocker bitch. was defeated in the winners class by Tootsie w, an inferior dog, but the Judgment was a fair one, as Trilby was show far too fat to be properly benched.
 Tomorrow will see the great test ap- piled to Judge Tyler's power of discrim- nation, when for the first time in the history of the Pacific Coast the score card will be used to place the all-aged colles Tn thelr order of merit. This is an inno- xatlon well worth, witnessing, as many forebodings have been expressed by sx- perts as to its practicability. The show is noteworthy as being the first held under the e, Pacific Kennel Leagues classification.
