MISS CROKER PURCHASES
FANCY BOSTON TERRIER
History of Dick Dazzler, for Which
Fair San Francisco Fancier
Paid $500, Is Re-
markable

Doggy people all over the world, and
particularly those on the Pacific coast,
will be interested in the announcement
that the finest Boston terrier living has
recently been purchased by Miss Jennie
Crocker, daughter of the late Charles
Crocker of San Mateo. The importation
is no less than champion Dick Dazzler,
the sensation of the past two years. Inc
unusual price paid for Dick Dazzler was
$500. which is the high water mark in
prices paid for dogs on the Pacific coast.
Champion Dick Dazzler's history is
truly a remarkable one. Dick was bred
by Mr.. Hatch of Danvers, Mass, a
novice at the dog breeding game. In his
back yard Dick grew up unnot4ced and
uncared for. When Dick was ten months
old he was one day taken into a small
kitchen, washed and scrubbed, put into a
small box and sent to the dog show at
Boston Mr. Hatch had met friend who
told him that the dog show would be
good place to dispose of dog, so he sent
Dick there with the sole intention of get
ting rid of him at the best price possible.
The Boston show is a four day affair,
and for the first two days Dick lay in his
stall, crddIed in the darkest corner, ig-
nored by the society folks and unnoticed
by even the fanciers. At last the we'll
known handler and judge, George Thomas,
passed the kennel and on the lookout for
good ones, as usual, spied Dick. 1t TOOK
but a moment to see the splenGid con-
formation, the beautiful square cut head,
the we'll rounded body and the much
sought for ''kink" tail. A bargain was
quickly struck for $50, and from then on
the dog belonged to Thomas. The same
evening the classes for Boston terriers
were called and when the spectators saw
the little mahogany brindle fellow come
prancing in on his tiptoes they quickly
turned to their catalogues to see what
dog that could be. The judge did not
take long to decide. Dick AJazzler smoth-
cred the others in every class in which he
appeared and not only defeated all the
hitherto unbeaten champions, but won
the grand challenge cup, the gold cup,
over ten special prizes and 500 in cash.
From then on his history mas been
known to all doggy enthusiasts, and since
that memorable show Dick has won cham
plonships throughout the east at such
shows at New York Philadelphia, Chi
cago, st. Louis, Boston, Milwaukee and
Buffalo,; in fact he has maintained the
supremacy in his breed with perfect ease.
Now comes the little champion in the ken
nels of Miss Crocker and in future will
win prizes for his new mistress.
Dick Dazzler will have as kennel mate
champion Endcliffe Totora, the little
Boston terrier with which Miss Crockel
swept all before her at the recent Sar
Francisco show, and for which animal she
paid $1,000 Therefore with pair repre-
senting an outlay of $500 Miss Crockel
feels sure that she will be well repre-
sented at the coming show at Burlingame
on Admission day, at which show she has
not only entered the pair, but two others
as well.

OAKLAND FAILS TO
ARRIVE IN TIME
LARGE CROWD DISAPPOINTED AT
CHUTES
Athenians and Angels Will Meet To-
day and May Play Double-
Header SUNDAY and
Labor Day

About twenty-five hundred fans called
the Southern Pacific railroad all kinds of
hard names at the Chutes yesterday be-
cause the transportation people failed
to get the Owl through in time to have
Oakland here for the scheduled game
yesterday. The Athenians did not arrive
until nearly o'clock in the afternoon
and Berry had to deal out rain checks
to the mob which wandered through the
Chutes turnstiles.
Oakland will open today and it is pos
sible that a double header will be played
Sunday to make up for yesterdays game.
This has not been decided yet as there
is a twin performance slated for Mon
day, and it is thought that two double
headers in a line might be too much
work for the players.
Hen Berry is sill busy with the Venice
proposition, and until after Oakland
leaves he will be unable to look into the
proposition. The fans seem to think the
idea a feasible one. and if the financial
considerations and park buildings are
satisfactory Berry will get busy as soon
as possible.

MACHINERY WILL TAKE

Business Shows Exhibit Wonderful
Apparatus-office Boys and
Bookkeepers are
Doomed

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 27-American busi-
ness offices of the future will be entirely
stripped of pretty stenographers, noisy
office boys and sedate bookkeepers, ana
in fact all help, the work being done en-
tirely by automatic machinery. Late IN
ventions to be shown at the national busi-
ness shows in New York and Chicago this
fall will herald the passing of all sorts of
office help.
All, Done by Machinery
Here are some of the strange devices
that will be seen:
A machine that will automatically write
letters and address the envelopes over
night and have them ready for the mall
in the morning and guaranteed not to
f1irt.
Another that will put on stamps and
drop them in the mail box.
A conveyer that will carry papers and
other portable articles to every portion of
the office and factory and drop them just
where they are needed and Will not loat
or shoot craps on the way.
A device that will keep books absolutely
without the aid of any human agency,
further than handy man in overalls TO
put on a drop of oil occasionally, and will
positively eschew the race track.
A telephone attachment that will lift off
the receiver when the bell rings, say in
soft feminine voice Hello, hold the wire
please" and give the name of the firm.
When the manager is out he turns a
switch and the person calling is told that
he is away and is asked to call later.
separate attachment records every
word of the conversation at both ends, so
