barks and snarls. San Francisco en-
tered yesterday into its dog days. 1t
became the fashion for society's maids
and matrons AMI other enthusiasts to
go literally to the dogs with the open
ing of the third annual dog show in
Dreamland pavilion by the Ladies Ken
mel association of California.
Going TO the dogs" in this case was
not unpleasant 1t was journey made
swift by handsome automobiles and
easy by a nominal entrance fee. There
after the blooded dogs of the country,
of every breed known, made the place
merry with their chorus.
The atmosphere of the show is aris-
tocratic. Certainly things plebian
CRATE on the sensibilities there. and
the mongrel pup, drawn to the pa
vilion entrance by the savory dog bis
cult. is in marked disfavor and an OBJ
ject of pity.
ALL SHOW FIGHT
Petted by generous owners and care
fully groomed, exercised and watched,
proud and arrogant set of CANNES
has been developed. oGod feeding, like
good breeding, has developed fighting
quality that makes all the dogs itch for
combat The air of the hall is rent by
the dog challenges.
The show is one of the largest ever
held in this city. Dogs from all parts
of California are competing for the
trophies and blue ribbons. The at
tendance yesterday reached into the
thousands. 1t was a rosy beginning
that brought forth many new prize
winning pups. lifting them from OBJ
scurity and added honors and laurels
to veteran bench show aristocrats.
Dogs there were for every taste, and
he would be hard to please who could
not pick pet. Large dogs, small
dogs, pretty dogs, homely dogs, fight
ing dogs. friendly dogs, deep voiced
dogs and dogs of squeaky expression,
besides every possible variety of color,
complexion and general contour.
The handsome white, soft coated
Russian wolfhound was center of ad-
miration. Two OF these. Sourarka O.
Valley Farm of Miss Irene Sabin and
Tybo of Miss Alice Wilkens. carried off
trophies. 1t was mere matter of
form for them. however. as many sim
liar prizes have already been won by
this beautiful pair.

CANNES are exhibited in cages, stacked
one on top of the other like collec-

with luxuriant compartments. Soft
pillows beautifully embroidered in silk
are their resting places. While such
adjuncts to the toilet as a comb and
brush form an independent silverware

in the day among the st. Bernards-
