Tue well-timed rainfall, too, has largely aug- mented tho chances for good autumn shoot- ng, as all the lakes, awails and sloughs are filled with water, und the rivers aud streams are running at their normal volume.

Affairs tu the canine kingdom are particu- larly lively 1n Omaha just tow, the prepara- tions for the coming bench show by tho local kennel club having infused all the lovers of the dog with an astonishing amouut of enor- y. Almost everybody is talking dog, und tuvate indeed 1s the man who owns an especiatly fine speciuen, let it be mastiff, great Dane, setter, pomtor, hound, fox te vier, bull dog or pug, the breed or kiud akes no difference, bie is an individual to oe cuvied. As expositions tend to improve mankind,so is a kenuel show calenlated to better canine breeds, affording opportunities for compari- son and stunulating the desire for tho achic it of excelience. Nor does this scem unimportant when it is considered that re of dogs usually advance the awvilization of the long whiomn they are domesticated. Although a dog will ‘never again be wor- shiped asa king, as was once the case in Ethiopia, the animal has carueed permanent and perpetual recognition as the friend and crvant of man bevond all others of the asts that perish. Derived from the same oviginal stock ns the wolf, there were wild dogs before ever there were tamo ones. In Irdia they urostill found undomesticated, torches or nd tig Australia overrun with wild dogs resemblin v wolves, which are supposed to bo the prozeay of pets left upon theisland conti- uent by carly ships. 1t has been observed that they seldom bark; iu fact, the dog in a state of nature rarcly does bark. In Lower Gunea canine packs, organized for huut on their own account, do not hesitate to at- tack the elephant, vsually with success. Just as the horse ucver amounts to any tuing, physically or otherwise, suve when bred and red for' by man, so tho dog oaly develops its oeauty and admiranle traits under human protection. Primarily the sagacious dogs appear 1o have haa their origin in southern Lurope,tne fighting dog in Asia and theswift running dogs awong the Celtic nations, Amoug all the dogs in_the world the St. Bernurd stands easily first tavorito, combin- ing, 0s it does, beauty with inteliigence and awiaoility of character. Concerning its origin there is much dispute, According to the tradition of the fathers of the great Suint Bernard their raco descends from the cross ing of a mastiff of the Pvrenecs with o Danish species of bulldoz. Tho descendants of this crossing havo inherited from the dog of Denmark its oxtraordinary size and the care and culty n direct ratio with oplo though sometimes used to carry to teed pet alligators is bodily strength, #nd from the mastiff fuithfuluess, sagacity and & fine seuse of swell, Next to the St. Bernavd, of which very many fine specimens are to be found in Omuha, the Eoghish mastff is the most popular dog, if the eniries at shows may be considercd a criterion. The bresa is un- doubtedly very ancient, probatly rative to Britain, ana Jikely derived from tho sume ancestral source as that of the bulldog. The lutter animal has mich gained in general Apprecialion within recent years and groater attention is being paid Lo it than ever oeforo. Populur prejudice aseribes to the bulldog small intelligence uua a forocious disposi- tion, but this does the beast great injustice.

As far as possible tho colimn will up- hold no particular club or club man, will be nonpartisan in construction and will cou- tinue, us in the past, to be made ap of gen- eral and local cyele news, such items as will interest the cycling public at large. Petty local roasts, airiugs of fancied greatness, and malicious prejudice will find no space in this column whatever, Time and space is too valuable to waste on club controversies and trivial clup chatter. About twenty-eight members of Nebraska division, League of American Wheelmen, met at the Omaha Wheel club house Satur- day evening, the 24th inst., and nominated the followi sot for division oflicers, the clection occurring between October 15 and November 15: For chizf consul, Perrizo of Omaha: for vice consul, Dunning of Kre- mont; for secretar, Fremont; for repr Omaha, Other n casurer, Nicodemus of utative, bersole of were proposed, but votes were dropped. 3 of the league any city or town may nominato a candidate for’ uny office provided a request, signed by fifteen loaguo mombers, is for- warded to C.

No ac- count was kept of the actual ridiog time. At Pekamah, or rather four and a balf milos beyond tbe tows, arrangements had been made with a farmer to furnish melous and fruit for tho bunwsy centurions. The quan tities of fruit whiah disappearad was some- thiog enormous. Phe pece averaged about eight and u balfwo nine miles an hour and was easily enjoyed by every ouo of tho dozen men who starteg.
