THREE DAY KENNEL
 SHOW PLANNED HERE
 DURING FAIR WEEK

On the theory that every good dog IS entitled to his day, three of them have been set aside for the dog show at the coming session of the state tair, to be held at Phoenix during the week of November 9.
 With fine spirit of friendly rivalry between the heads of the various de- partments as to which will command the greatest attention, R. A. Gray newly appointed superintendent of the dog department, has entered into the contest. with a determination to make the dog show better and larger than ever before. and from the amount of interest which has sprung up among dog fanciers in all parts of the state it seems certain that his efforts will be crowned with success. We are expecting entries from all the important cities and many of the smaller communities in the state" said Gray in discussing the coming bow-wow convention. Owing to the unexpected departure for the coast of A H. F1tz, originally appointed su- perintendent of this department, we cannot offer an A. K. c. fixture as plannedS However, we will make a strong bid for the local dogs and anticipate some very keen competi- ton from Tucson, Prescott, Bisbee and other towns in the state, whose dog fanciers have brought in some high class specimens during the past season.
 ''The dog show will open Wednes- day, November and run for three days. All dogs must be at the fair grounds by a. m. Wednesday. En- tries will close Tuesday. November 4. Persons shipping can rest assured that the best of care and attention will be given their entries, for we have engaged competent handlers to receive the dogs and look out for them dur ing the three days of the exposition Outside dogs, even though unaccom. a panied by their owners, will stand ar equal chance with the local ones, in. asmuch as they will be shown in tn, Judging ring by an experienced anC impartial handler. One of the bes dog judges on the coast, a man with national reputation for good judg. ment and fairness will be brough here by the fair commission to judg, the show.
