developed will be strong enough td hurt the show. Last year one of the most influential clubs on the coast absolutely boycotted the show, yet the number of dogs fancied by this same speciality club, exhibited by outside own CTS, exceeded the number shown when the show was favored by the club, and it will be this year. The directors of the San Fran cisco Club, men such as H. J. Crocker, pr. T. w. D'Evelyn,. A. B. Spreckels, and other we'll known gentlemen of the directorate have chosen a judge well and favoraby known the world over. The choice of such judge by such men should of itself be sufficient guarantee of the judges ability and integrity The San Fran cisco Bench Show will be a success, all the greater for the petty and spiteful opposition to 1t. Yours truly, J. P. NORMAN.
 E. J. Bull, the popular coursing judge of Union Coursing Park, has positively informed The Call that he cannot accept the invitation to judge greyhounds at the San Francisco Bench Show. MT. Bull said that although he may be able to judge coursing to the satisfaction of the patrons of the leash, he may prove rank failure so far as the judging of grey hounds on the bench is concerned The San Francisco Kennel Club must select some other person to judge greyhounds.

nounced that he would be forced to sus- his affairs and says he hopes to be able to arrange matters in a way satisfac- tory to his creditors.
 It is not known just how deeply in- volved the grain merchant is, though he says he thinks he will be able to ar range matters in such a way as to sat- isfy his creditors, if he is given time. He says some of his heaviest custom CTS have become temporarily embar- rassed and could not respond to his call for money. As he was dealing as a commission man this involved him in trouble, which led to the present diff ficulty.
 The announcement of the financial difficulties of MT. McGlauf1in caused great deal of surprise on the street, as 1t was well known that he had been long on the market, having bought large amount of wheat and barley which he is not known to have sold.
 McGlauflin gained considerable mo- toriety three years ago when there was a great deal of excitement over what was known as the Fair wheat deal, an attempt to corner the wheat market of the State. He was at that time part ner of E. A. Bresse, who is still in busi- ness, being one of the heaviest dealers on the floor of the exchange. Bresse has had no connection with McGlauflin for three years, as the men disagreed about business methods.
 It was generally understood at the time of the great deal that McGlauflin handled it. All of the grain in the warehouses at Port Costa was bought up and held The entire supply held by the four largest firms in this State -Eppinger & Co.,, McNear, Balfour, Guthrie & Co.,, Baldwin, Girvin & Eyre was bought up, as well as every bushel of wheat available.
 Fair invested about six millions Of dollars in the deal and purchased more than two hundred thousand tons or wheat. The wheat was held until the market went to S1 80, but as Fair had built it to that price himself he could not find buyers and was forced to let 1t go at a heavy loss
 It Is the general opinion that the fafl- ure of McGlauflin is for reasons known chiefly to himself and not affecting the general market. From all indications the failure will not affect others and there will be little suffering in the local field as a result.

PooLRooMs MUST CLOSE.
The Merchants Association Taking
 Active Steps Against the Evil.

The Merchants Association is thor oughly in earnest in the matter of clos ing the pool rooms in this city, as shown by resolutions passed at meeting of the board yesterday. At special meeting held several days ago the manager, Mr. King was instructed to ascertain the To- cation of every such place and the names of the owners of the property and those who conduct that class of business. King made his report a strong resolution, of which the following is part, which was passed:
 ''Whereas, The existence of said pool rooms is demoralizing to the whole com munity and is tending to corrupt the clerks and employees of the merchants and other business men of San Fran cisco, and whereas, the Merchants Asso- citation has determined to close said pool rooms, if it is possible to do so:~ there
 '.Resolved, That the attorney of the Merchants Association is directed to in- form the owners and tenants of the prem iseS used as pool rooms to close the same as such within thirty (30) days from April b, 1898, and in the event any owner agent or tenant declines to comply with this request, the attorney is authorized to proceed legally against them in order to carry out the intents and purposes of this association, and be it further
 Resolved, That copy of these reso- lutions be furnished to the owners, agents and tenants of said pool rooms.''
 Now that the matter has been placed in the hands of Attorney J. R. Freud 1t is believed that the booksellers will take the hint and cease operations without making much trouble. The owners of the property on which such business is con ducted are not likely to throw much op- position in the way of the movement of reform if they think the association will bring them into unpleasant notoriety in the event of their neglect to comply with the merchants demand The directors believe that within month every pool room will be closed without the neces- sty of resorting to legal measures.

THE HOTTEST DAY
 OF LOCAL RECORD
It Was the Warm est for This Time of the Year Ever
 Known.
The Spell Likely to Continue, With No Prospect of Any
 Rain.

The official records of the Weather Bureau show that yesterday was the hottest day upon record for any corre- spending day of the same time of the year ever known in the city of San Fran cisco, the thermometer registering at l o'clock yesterday afternoon SIT degrees. This was the highest point reached dur ing the day.
 Old Sol arose early yesterday morning, wiped his eyes, rolled up his sleeves and let it be generally known among the less fiery satellites of the solar system that he was out for business. He softly whistled to himself the suggestive re- frain about there being "A Hot Time in the Old Town To-Night,' and immediately began to pay his respects to terra firma in no uncertain way. As result there was a sudden and decided rise in mer- cury, and the stock of the North Amer ican Consolidated Thermometer Com pany, limited. took a general upward jump
 The summer girl made blushing debut and the seashore shirtwaist and hat were to be seen upon the streets in all their glory. The men of business sweltered in their offices, eyed the thermometer with boiling indignation and kept the office boy busy rushing the ''growler." The pedestrians sought the shady side of the streets and exchanged hopeless but sym pathetic glances realizing that com mon misery is lessened by the knowl- edge that there are others"
 Down at the Weather Bureau the fore caster was busy recording hot things from all over the State. At o'clock in the morning the thermometer stood at 66 degrees, at o'clock it was a half degree cooler, and there was a general hope that the warm spell was breaking but if proved to be only one of Sols bluffs. for at 10 o'clock it was 76 degrees. An hour later it had climbed up another degree. and at noon the thermometer stood at an even 80 degrees. Then things began to get warm in earnest, for at clock there came the record breaking SIT degrees At 2:30 o'clock it was S5.7 and at 3.20 o'clock it was S6.S degrees.
 At present there are no indications of a change It may be cooler in the city this afternoon if there is a fog The re- ports from all over the State indicate the warm weather is generally prevailing. with no rain. There was a very light fall of rain at Yuma yesterday, but not enough to do any good The weather here to-day will be as warm as yester- day, with the prospects of even a greater rise in the mercury. On April l4 1888 there was SS degrees registered In the city.
 The high northern pressure is still pre- vailing with a slight depression gathering along the northern half of the Pacific slope. There is no prospect for rain.
