SEEKING PLACE
FOR DOG SHOW
Kennel Club Committee Is to
Hurry Selection of
Quarters.

There was an important matter be-
fore the Hawaiian Kennel Club last
evening, in that il was before the meet
ing, in the parlor of the Alexander
Young Hotel, to take steps looking to
a settlement of the dates for the hold
ing of the dog show, during the stay
of the big feet in July, and to decide
where such show should be held.
Neither point was decided, but a de-
cision was brought a little nearer by
the reference of the matter of location
to the bench committee which viii at
once get to work and select a place.
The matter of dates does not have to
be decided in such hurry, for, as was
brought out at last nights gathering,
the time of the coming of the fleet,
here is subject to change and as long
as the club sets the dates and month
ahead there will be ample time allowed
for advertising purposes.
There were numerous places men
toned for a location, Brewers wharf,
the former Pacific Hardware quarters,
the drillshed, the place on Merchant
street where once was a chicken show
held, the Oceanic wharf, the old Will
der quarters and the premises former
ly occupied by the Cobweb saloon.
For a time the Cobweb premises were
favorably considered, but it was finally
decided that while this was in a good
place, it was not big enough. 1t is
doubtful if the drillshed is available.
Someone suggested that the drillshed
was poorly ventilated and that the only
way to make that a success would be
to have an electric fan for each dog.
But this was voted a libel. A success
full chicken show had been held there
and the chicken owners had made no
complaint. Brewers wharf was con-
sidered by some as too out of the way.
Others did not think it made any diff
ference where the show was held while
there would be thousands of men in
port anxious to see anything entertain
ing.
One member reported having been
invited to attend a meeting Of COM
mittee of the Ki1ohana Art League
where the Kennel Club and other as
sociations and societies and clubs were
all invited to get in and do their share
to take the old fishmarket for a gem
eral place of attractions during the
stay of the fleet. but, it was said at
last nights meeting, there was no bust
ness about the proposition and, besides,
the old fishmarket belongs to the gov
eminent and there is not likely ID be
any private enterprise there. A letter
was read from George CranfieId who
has been asked to come here to act
as judge at the dog show. He sent
a lot of good advice and the club de-
cided to accept an offer of two hundred
pounds TO dog biscuit from DR.. Clay
ton of Chicago in return for a page
advertisement in the program for that
gentleman's benefit. 1t was also voted
to accept an offer of badges, at fire.
cents each, to be made in Chicago,
The meeting authorized the directors
Of the club to contract debts for the
expenses of the coming show. The last
show cost about s675. 1t is thought
that the coming event will cost some
what more. tfsasN
There are seventy-five prospective
entries and half a hundred more are
expected. The matter of partitions to
be placed between exhibits is left to a
committee.
