The New Yorker and Her Dog.
If one wishes to see the New York
society woman really interested, he
should show her a bench show dog.
particularly a prize winner Glance
at the portraits of women of fashion
in magazines and color supplements.
When there is no dog in the picture,
the woman as a rule looks bored.
But if there's any kind Of canine to be
seen, her face is animated, her eyes
shine and she seems to be uttering
words of delight. What Is there about
the blue ribbon bowwow that affects
the society woman SO favorably? It
cannot be his looks, for If he has won
prize at any big bench show, ten to
one he's ugly as original sin. What
ever the influence, its force cannot be
denied. If it cannot be recognized in
pictures, one has only TO 60 to an ex-
hibition by any kennel club to verify
the assertion. The society woman may
be Indifferent to her husband and luke
warm toward her children, but she
dearly loves q dog.

DENIES COMPLETELY
IN BANK WRECKING
Nash Says He Was Not Cashier
of Market Street Institution
at Time of Failure

The involved affairs of the Market
street bank came up for discussion
yesterday at the weekly meeting OF
the grand jury. but no definite action
was taken. No indictments were re-
turned or even considered and no wit
nesses were examined. District At
torney Langdon has not yet decided
whether or not he will ask for in
dictments.
All parties in the controversy rested
on their oars yesterday. Receiver
Mooser is preparing his report to the
court and the attorneys for the direc-
tors are waiting for Mooser's report
to be filed before presenting the new
plan they have conceived for the re-
Mobilization of the bank.
I'VE are not prepared at present to
make public full details of our plan, :"
said Attorney Campbell yesterday. "As
soon as Mr.. Mooser files his statement
as to the condition of the bank we will
present our ideas to the court.
Receiver Mooser said: II do not see
how the plan of Mr.. Campbell can ac-
complish much. A similar plan has
been presented TO Judge Sturtevant
before and 1t has been rejected"
w. B. Nash yesterday issued state
ment defining his position in regard
to the tangle. He announces that he
was not cashier OF the bank at the
time of it's failure and bitterly repu-
dates the implied charges that have
been made to the effect that he had
been concerned in the bank wrecking.

CAMP PERRY, O., Aug. 1s.-what is
said to have been the most extraor-
binary long range rife shooting ever
seen in America was accomplished to-
day by Captain K K. V. Casey Of the
First Delaware, in the Leech and VIM
bledon cup matches. both of which he
won by record breaking scores. In the
Leech match for the cup presented by
Captain Leech of the Irish team which
visited New York in 1874, a match of
500. 900 and 1000 yards, Casey scored
lO4 out of a possible 105. In the VIM
bledon 1000 yards match he scored 81,
beating the match record of 91. made
by Captain Richard of Ohio in 1903.
Casey won the Wimbledon here last
year by the score of IS under very un-
favorable conditions. Today the con-
ditions were as nearly perfect as could
be desired.
The first seven shots counted for the
Leech score and the next eight shots
for the Wimbledon cup. About 275
rihemen participated in this event, the
largest of the individual contests con-
Quoted by the national rifle association.
The Wimbledon contest was open TO all

Begin Today

CHICO. Aug. 1s.-The nineteenth an
nual harness horse meet of the Pacific
Coast trotting horse breeders associa-
tion for $4,000 in stakes will start in
on the new Chico track at the speedway
tomorrow. All Of the we'll known sta
bles that are campaigning on the coast
are at the track, and the drivers and
trainers are enthusiastic over the new
course, pronouncing it the fastest in
the state. 1t is freely predicted that
the worlds record for year olds will
go by the board when the horses start
for that division of the breeders
futurity. Ray O Light, the worlds
record holder as a year old last sea-
son. is the favorite for the stake on
account Of the showing which he made
against eyed horses at Oakland last
week in the 2:14 pace.
Down for decision tomorrow, Berta
Mac and Nogi will attempt to settle
the question of supremacy left unde-
ci0ed by the Santa Rosa and Oakland
meets, and in the 2:0S pace John R.
Conway and Delilah will determine the
mooted point Of superiority, also left
in the air by the first two meets of the
circuit.
Miners and ranchers are coming in
from all portions in the northern part
of the state, and thousands of dollars in
pools have already been sold on to-
morrow's races.
