day, and the dog fancier who thinks
he has cup gatherer will not have a
shy at the trophies unless he enters his
dog by Tuesday evening.
Dogs from all sections of the state.
Seattle and Washington, will join in
the powwow and local blood will have
to look it's prettiest to get away with
the sllverware.
A particularly heavy entry is noted
in st. Bernards. Prince Royal, the win
ing st. Bernard of last year, will ap-
pear again and endeavor to convince
Tom Ashton that the only sensible
thing to do would be to sustain the de-
cision of the wise gentlemen who acted
in a judicial capacity last year.
Several of the finest specimens of
bloodhounds will be entered. Pointers
will be very we'll represented both To-
cally and from the north. w. J. Nor

competition from the stock of northern
fanciers who will invade Los Angeles
in pursuit of cups and ribbons.
Pasadena will send a prize winning
other California towns will contribute
their quota to this popular breed
Peiper's Dog a Winner
The classiest~ bench of Irish settlers
ever seen on the coast is assured for
the approaching show. Paul PEPPER,
the enthusiastic secretary Of the ken
mel club. and -fancier of this handsome
dog, has gathered a kennel that is sec
ond only to one other in the United
States. Oh. Shandon Ben, the dog that
heads his kennel, is winner of nation
al reputa ton, having met and defeat
ed at Boston, Providence and Newport
in 1903 the crack Irish settlers Of Can
ada and the United States.
Among the vanquished was Shan
Law, the dog that won at New York
this year. Peiper's dog, therefore, ranks
among the best and is admittedly one
of the finest representatives of its breed
that has ever been benched in Califor-
mia. The remainder of Mr.. Peiper's
dogs include the best specimens of the
breed procurable from various sections
of the country such as the get of Ch.
Ben Law and Oh. Fudelcho.
Every one in Los Angeles appears
to have a collie, Judging from the num-
ber of entries in this breed of dogs, and
Los Angeles has the finest collies on.
the coast. Arthur Let's is conceded
the best chance of taking the majority
of honors in this class, but such re-
suit is by no means assured.
Fred Herr has bunch of Boston ter
riers that promises to carry off all of
the cups. He has imported from the
east string that will make good
showing in any company and they will
all be there. Miss Inez Brown is also
the possessor of a fine bitch that won
everything in her class last year and
her owner is confident that she will
give any of Mr.. Herrs Bostonians an
interesting contest.
Cocker Spaniels are popular in every
show and the little fellows will occupy
large part of the benching space.
Among the fine dogs of this breed is
the handsome red cocker Hamilton
Cornwall, owned by Fred ]. Gillespie of
Los Angeles. He is very active little
red cocker, we'll proportioned, perfect
coat, fine head, clean cut muzzle, even
mouth, perfectly domed skull and ex-
cellent ears, superbly carried. He is a
son of the famous champion red
cocker, Hamilton Jack, owned and
bred by Joe Kennedy, Raven Kennels,
Hamilton, Canada, winner of 25 first
prizes in, all parts of the country, and
cookers in the United States and Can
ada without single defeat.
Ashton Will Judge
Fox terriers with their heads cooked
on one side, their ears erect and that
soft look in their eyes will let their
gaze travel up and down the crowded
ases, looking for the familiar face of
their master or mistress. A fine variety
of prizes is offered for both the smooth
and wire haired breeds.
Bull dogs in all of their homely glory
will be on hand in force and at least
ten entries are expected from local pug
owners.
The French poodles and all the
smallest members of dogdom will be
there on their silk pillows. If you pull
their ears or step on their tails you
will hear a growl something like the
squeak produced by coffee mill in
operation. Persons desiring to hear
this coffee mill growl" should do their
experimenting, productive of said
growl, when the fond owners "ain't
there"
Altogether the show will be worthy
OF Los Angeles and every lover. of dogs
can see and admire the best of the par
tieular breed which he may fancy The
Kennel club was lucky in securing the
services OF Tom Ashton. the noted
English judge, to act during the Los
Angeles show. Mr.. Ashton will Judge
al San Francisco and will then come
southward. Entries will not be received
after Tuesday evening and must be
