OAKLAND.
Fred Foster Captured Two Purses
With DR.. Sheppard and Abuse.
George H. Ketcham Ran
49,. Second at Long Odds.

The Saturday crowd of race-goers had
some pretty knotty problems to untangle
at Oakland The track, to begin with,
was fetlock deep with mud and the air
was raw and chilly, causing the riders
q TO look like a bunch of chattering mon
keys perched upon their mounts. The
talent deciphered three of the fields to
it's personal gain, but fell hard TO the
other events.
The result of the mile and a furlong
handicap caused no end of gossip. Two
days ago Myth, with 81 pounds up,
started. in a mile selling affair. ruling a
strong second choice. The going was
sticky and the gelding was beaten about
three leagues Yesterday, with 80 pounds

A BLUE OUTLOOK FOR
THE FIELD TRIALS

The Pacific Coast special committee of
the American Kennel Club convened on
Thursday evening last at the Occidental
Hotel. The meeting was special
one, adjourned from the previous Thurs
day, and was held to consider commune
cation from the secretary of the Ameri-
can Club, referring to the committee for
action and report the question of three
clubs affiliated with the American Ken
mel Club, which have connected them
selves with the newly organized Pacific
Kennel League. These clubs are the
Santa Clara Valley Kennel and Poultry
Association, the California State Kennel
and Poultry Association and the Collie
Club of California, and the question asked
of the committee by the American Kennel
Club was whether the action of these
three clubs in joining the Pacific Kennel
League did or did not warrant their ex-
pulsion from the American Kennel Club
This, Is the first business that has come
up before the committee, and, being
fraught with the gravest consequences to
the kennel interests of the coast, it de-
served and obtained the most serious
consideration and discussion by the COM
mittee.
After two lengthy meetings the de-
cision was reached unanimously that the
formation of the Pacific Kennel League
was too trivial a matter for the notice of
the American Kennel Clubs that the Pa
cif1c Kennel League represented but an
insignificant proportion of the fancierS of
the coast ana that TINS proportion was
composed either of misguided individuals
who had been led astray or of self-seek-
ing and interested malcontents who had
only their own interests at heart.
A resolution was passed that commu-
nication be forwarded to the American
Kennel Club, stating that it is the sense
of the committee that the dignity and
Importance of the parent organization de-
mand that the Pacific Kennel League be
ignored entirely; that the league repre-
sents no important interests on this
coast; that if ignored it must eventually
die of inanition, and that such a course
would rebound to the harmony and best
interests of kennedom on the Pacific
Slope and to the interests of the Ameri-
can Kennel Club and would further have
the effect of enhancing the efficiency of
the Pacific Coast special committee in
transacting the American Kennel Club
business here.
The field trials seem predestined to
failure this year. Colonel Arthur Merri-
man of Kentucky, who was to have act
ed as judge, has Cancelled his contract on
account of death in his family, and C. N
Post of Sacramento, William Bonner of
San Francisco and George Richards of the
Verona kennels have been selected to act
in his stead.

JEFFRIEs CONDITION.
Is Lighter Than When He Fought
F1tz, But Thinks He Will Win.

New York. Oct 26.-Having satisfied
himself that his wind is good and that
his physical condition is almost up to
the standard of excellence required to
win championship fights, James J. JEFF
fries has cut down his programme OF
work slightly The new order of things
went into effect at the camp at Al
lennurst, N J., yesterday Instead of
taking a six or seven mile run as has
been his custom since he began TO pre-
pare for his contest with Sharkey, the
Californian took only two miles Of road
work
The style Of his work was different
from that which marked the six and
seven mile journey On the long runs
he logged the greater part of the dis
tance. Yesterday he sprinted for about
loo yards, then slowed down for a like
distance He was paced by a bicycle
and although a stiff rate Of speed was
maintained by the rider, the world s
champion was not far behind at the
finish
In addition to his road exercise. jeff
ries had six round bout with Tom
my" Ryan. They mixed tAings up in
lively fashion during the eighteen min
uteS of fighting and JeffrieS did not
appear at all distressed at the con-
clusion Of the exhibition His injured
left hand appears to be all right again
and he made considerable use of it in
delivering and stopping blows. The
Californian also played several games
of handba1 and had a short wrestling
bout with ROeber.
Jefries looks much lighter than when
he fought Fitzsimmons, but his muscles
seem to be much harder and there is
less super1uous flesh on his body than
when he exchanged blows with the
former worlds champion Jeffries says
that he is in fine shape and that he is
confident he will be able to successfully y
defend his title of champion of the
world against Sharkey when they meet
in the Coney Island clubs arena on
November 3.
Sharkey's work was OF a very mild
character, consisting Of jogging on the
road Tom O'ROurkes who looked the
sailor pugilist over very critically,
said that he was satisfied with Shar-
keys condition and added that if the
sailor is in as good physical trim on
November 3 as he is now. he has no
fears for the result
