magic ring and wins the ribbons and medals inside it.
 This is the canine event of the year on the coast, and will also be one Of the most important society events. The fact that the proceeds will be devoted to charity will draw crowds who would otherwise never visit bench show, and the Four Hundred will turn out en masse. To judge by the number of en- tries made by the feminine leaders of local society, the rage for doggy pets must be strong in those circles.
 The kennels of the Marquis of Lans- downe will be represented by one of the finest specimens of Irish terrier ever seen here, namely, Rodger, the property of Miss Nellie Bingham.
 Judging will commence promptly at D. m. and any dog absent from his stall when called will lose all right of competition. Owners can take their pets home after 10 D. m. by depoSiting s as guarantee for their reappearance, but the practice is to be deprecated, as the animals will receive due care and attention from the nightwatchman employed by the San Francisco Kennel Club.
 Famous among the recent arrivals are some Cocker spaniels from the Swiss Mountain Kennels, Germantown, Pa. Among them is included the world renewed Banner Trilby," who has won many prizes in Eastern exhibitions; among them being the first prize in the show at Washington, D. C., in 1897, and at Grand Rapids in 1S98
 Superintendent Oldham says that the best time to see the show is at the opening, because every owner will have his dog we'll groomed and we'll fed for his initiatory appearance. With the people in general the appearance of a dog goes far, and an animal we'll taken care of is apt to gain public favor over his superior who has been neglected.
 A big feature of the show will be grand parade of dogs who have won prizes every day. The big fellows, St. Bernards, mastiffs, Great Danes and Russian hounds will be among the first to be judged, and therefore will be in that parade every day.
 The sporting dogs, the fighters" are largely represented among the entries and the lovers of the 'pugnacious pup" will find much to admire.

SOME OFFICIAL HAS BLUNDERED John Kelly, Alias Tyrell, Allowed to Make His
 Escape.
Walked Out of Judge Joachim sens Court About Ten
 Days Ago.
The Police Are Now Scourinq the City 10 Find Him, but With
 Small Hope of Success.

through somebody's blunder John Kelly. alias Tyrell, young tough" 20 years of age, is e1joying his liberty instead of being in the City Prison to answer to several charges of battery and robbery against him.
 Kelly and Thomas Stanton were ar rested On the night of April 29 by Po- lceman E. J. Thomson and c. T. Mer- chant; Kelly on two charg of bat tery, and Stanton on a charge of bat tery and one of disturbing the peace. The following day they were each booked on charge Of assault to com init robbery The complaining witness was John B. Raffo a .seavenger, and he alleged that the defendants assault ed him on his way home at Twenty sixth street and San Jose avenue, and after knocking him down and beating him they attempted to rob him. He yelled for help and they ran away.
 few days later a charge of petty larceny was booked against Kelly, the complaining witness being Antone Bank. On that day the battery and assault to rob cases were continued till May 10 in Judge Joachimsen's court. The petty larceny case against Kelly came up for hearing in the same court on Saturday, May ', and after listen- ing to the evidence the Judge dismissed the case.
 When the battery and assault to rob cases were called on May 10 Key could not be found. He should have been in the prison, but he was not there Consternation prevailed among the at taches of the court and the prison of ficials. There was a hurried investi- gatiOn, and then it dawned upon their minds that when the case of petty larceny was dismissed against Kelly he was permitted to walk out of court.
 Chief Lees was notified and since then detectives and policemen in plain clothes have been hunting for Kelly. but he has not yet been found.
 The cases were again called in court yesterday morning, but as Raffo, the complaining witness. failed to appear a continuance was given till the after noon. He did not show up then. and a continuance was granted till Wed nesday.' when it is hoped that Kelly will be recaptured and Raffo will have got over his disgust at Kelly being all lowed to escape.
