ITS THIRD ANNUAL ExHIBI-
T1ON BEGUN.
The Glass Of Dogs Higher and the
Number Greater Than
Heretofore.

HOWL ana DARK and crow, crow ana
bark and howl
That is what can be heard at Armory
Hall now, for the third annual exhibit
ton of the State Poultry and Kennel
Club in this city opened yesterday, and
promises to be a success from the start.
The room is far more comfortab Bile
and suitable one for an exhibition of
the kind than is the New Pavilion,
where the two previous shows We're
held, and people We're not slow to no.
tice the fact yesterday, many remark
ing on it. Being handy to all the car
lines is another advantage that will
insure the attendance of many who
did not attend last year.
There is a larger entry Of dogs this
year than last, also, and the dogs, as
whole are of a higher class than at
the other two shows. Sacramento is
coming to the front more, also, and
the standard of the dogs exhibited by
fanciers here is growing better, and
will continue to do so year by year
hereafter, it is probable.
