The man or the woman who loves a
dog cannot afford 10 miss the annual
exhibition Of the San Francisco Ken
mel Club. which was thrown open to
the public yesterday at Mechanics Pa
vilion. The show is remarkably rich
in quality and all the breeds from the
huge st. Bernard TO the tiniest of toy
terriers are well represented.
Judge Mortimer is kind enough 10
say that there are dogs benched in the
Pavilion which would win in any SHOW
ing in the world. The English settlers,
the aristocrats of the kennels, are
a particularly strong class, and are
pronounced the best ever seen here.
Cato Jr which won last year, won
again yesterday. thus earning the
title of champion. Dad" MOulton
Palo Alto carried of the hOnors in the
puppy class. Mrs. Moulton's Pope be-
ing placed second. Judge Mortimer
predicts that PalO Alto will develop
into a good dog during the next year
In pointers Z. Courtney Ford's Bos-
ton. which won at Chicago last year,
beat Rap Rather. The latter was
placed first among pointers by Judge
Roper at the last show.
The battle Of the St Bernaros pe-
tween lie King and Lester c was re-
suuned yesterday. the latter winning.
Judge Cole placed lie King first in last
winters show, TO the surprise Of the
experts.

sensations Of the show last night, each
dog being clothed in an artistic blanket.
The Boston terriers are strong. both
in numbers and in quality. W. H.
Deming is showing a white terrier, the
only one on the coast.
The toy dogs proved a magnet to
draw the ladies and children to the
south side Of the pavilion. One Of the
terriers occupied a kennel the walls Of
which were covered with yellow satin.
The kennel was Illuminated with cleo
tric lights. and at a distance loomed up
like a lighthouse. The quarters Of
others were beribboned and beflowered
as the artistic taste of the owners die
tated.
A constant stream Of visitors flowed
into the pavilion during the afternoon

ladies having their pets among the
dogs benched. The complete list Of
