The Southwestern Kennel club will
hold its second annual bench show
May II. 1s, 10 and 90 at Chutes park.
The first show of the club was held
at Chutes park last year, but in order
to provide for the crowd and the many
entries arrangements have been made
whereby the club secures the use of
the pavilion in the Chutes, in addi-
tion to a large tent 70x130 feet This
will give the patrons much better
opportunity to observe the many va
rieties of dogs. The Chutes theater
was a little crowded last year and the
public suffered for want of room.
The bench show committee includes
such well known dog men as w. j.
Morris, James Ewins, w. A. Anderson,
Richard Thomas and S. Tyler With
such competent enthusiasts to provide
for the comforts of the many fancy
canine wonders the exhibitors need not
have fear for their valuable pets.
The coming show will be held under
American Kennel club rules, the South
western Kennel club having recently
affiliated with that organization
Forty silver cups have already been
donated and many other prizes as well,
and many others will be added to the
list.
Among the many high classed dogs
exhibited will be one that has Travelled
from foreign shore to show her beau
tful points to a critical California
public, Old Hall Sylvia, imported by
Arthur Let's at an enormous cost from
Scotland, in type and class entirely
distinct from anything ever shown in
California. She has been exhibited
throughout Scotland and England, and
is the winner of double champion
ship. She comes from the famous Old
Hall stock and was bred by j. M.
Hamach. Mr.. Let's purchased her
from Mr.. Agnew.
Sylvia Winner
An Edingurgh paper has the follow
ing: First prize, Old Hall Sylvia, the
best we have seen for some time. This
bitch will yet improve. Her head is a
classical one, expression extra, ears
carried good, her bone is good, and'
further her front is of the best She
will hold her own among the best.
Arthur Let's purchased her in whelr
to Oh. Wshaw Leader, that famous
dog belonging to r. TAFT, quoted as
being the greatest living Scotch collie
The result of their union has produced
six fine healthy puppies, that are now
about six months old and bid fair to
rival anything in the state.
Mr.. Let's will also show his famous
dog Ch. Ravenswood, the winner of
all prizes on the coast for collies last
year.
Another conner in the collie line is
Mr. VIM. Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy is the
owner of Lady May III, that beautiful
bitch that won first prize for bitches
in the show last year. She had litter
of puppies by Ch. Ravenswood and
they are fine lot. Mr.. Kennedy also
possesses "Edgemont Springs Pin
nacle," a young dog about year old,
sired by Wishaw Clinker the dog
$4,000.
Mr.. James Ewins will show his bull
bitch, Wedding Bells, winner of first
prize at the last show. She is Califor-
mia bred and no doubt the best on the
| coast.
Another dog which has won honors
on two continents is Captain e. V. K.
Neill's English bulldog The Battler.
In the last show at San Francisco Cap
tain Neilrs canine was a big prize
winner and Southern California dog
| fanciers will see one of the finest rep
resentatives of English blooded stock

was formerly an English army officer
and predicts that The Battler will re-
peat his Australian and San Francisco
performance in Los Angeles.
