OAKLAND, Dec. 1o.-The first speciality show of dogs was brought to a success full termination tonight. It was, in one respect at least, the most remarkable show ever held in California and pos sibly in America. Not single kick" was registered by any one of the exhib- itors. This alone is sufficient to stamp 1t as unique as an exhibition of its kind.
 The score card was an unqualified suc- cess. Whether 1t could be applied to a larger show Is more than doubtful, but the results justify its application in the present instance. The best dog won in every case under the system, and the av- craze time of judging was five minutes per dog.
 The system is based on the following: One hundred points are the maximum number allowed, and for each defect so many points are deducted as the judge deems warranted by the gravity of the defect. The points are distributed as fol- lows: Skull, 5; muzzle, 5; stop, 2; eyes, 4; ears, $; expression. 2; neck, 8; shoulders 4; chest, A.. forelegs, 5; ribs, 4; loin, 5; length of body, 8; hips, 8; hindlegs, 5; tail. 8; feet. g. undercoat, s; outercoat f. In case of tie the prize goes to the heavier dog.

On the other hand the space between the kennels was large and the doggy part of the show was we'll managed in every respect.
