That monumental fake, Mr. Bauswine, robbed us_of two right fiere on the horie frounds. Eut lot the past bury s desd, there are new battles to be fought soon, and what Omaha wants most w0 do is to win a creditable share of them and under Shannon's intelligent mauagement there but little doubt but what she willdo it. To make matters real inter- esting Manager Shannon has already se- lected his team for th opening day, and suy Twitenell, pitcer, New- i left, Halligan ® right, McCauley, first, Shaunon, , short and Donnelly third. That comes pretty neac being the winner, “Those Lincoln games—pretty important, am’t they " “Indead they are, and we must win, if possible.

The Kennel (lu The Omaha kenael club held a meeting Tuesday, March 24, in their new room, 213 South Fourteenth street. The room is nicely carpeted and furnished with chaws, a desk, spittoons, ete. The boys seem toenjoy the com forts of such & cosy place very much, and expect to spend many pleasant evenings there. The treasurer was instructed to pay all bills and tho secretary to subscribe forthe leading journuls of England and America. As previously mentioned in Tk Bek, each member shali from time to time gve a night of instruction on his favorite breed. Mr. Max J.

The club extends a cordial invitaton to all interested to be present. 4 Thore has been mention made in this city and alsoin the American Fiold to the effect that the Omaba kennel club intended giving a bench show some time in April or May next. This is a mistake, The clubis not prepared to give a show before next season, as the members have not had a sufficlent time to get things in shape. Their first ex- hibit shall be under the American kennelclub rules, and judged by regular American ken- nel club judge, with not less™ than 8500 as prize money. Another New Cluab, Tnat Omaha is not behind the times in anything s an estavlished fact, Sha now has & poultry sssociation. The *‘Omaha Poultry Fanciers Club” organized March 23.

Cadogan, R, F. Maber. The club met Saturday evening, March 28, to finish up_ business left over at Iast meeting. All poultry fanciers are cor- dially invited to attead. The object of the club is the advan cement of pure bred poultry, with a view to giving an annual show in this city—something that will be instructing to all lovers of fowls, There shall bo no restric- tions as to_tho varieties. Each member can breed to his fancy, and itis the firm inten- tion of this club to excel anything ever held in Omaha. Chin Music by the Fan. “The National league guide will be out next Wednesday.
