Barge crews of the South Ends, Ploneers and Ariels will have a try-out, and the winning four will go to the regatta. Dr. C. C. Dennis will pull in shell and outrigged skiff, the use of a fine shell having been offered him by the Astoria_Boat Club. J. Foley will also pull in both events. The Flng{le-thell race will be rowed in heats, and if Dr. C. C. Dennis and another San Francisco man should both win their heats the use of a second shell can be ob. tained. H.

Up to the present time the ques- tion has been shirked. The registration commissioners have behaved like the man who pulls the trigger of a gun and then runs away at the report The Ploneer senior harge crew, consist- ing of the Lawson brothers, O'Neill ana Wilder. have been out together two or three times latel.

Lovers of the dog will hear with regret that Mrs. H. H. Carlton’s famous Boston terrier, Oakside Bessie, is dead. Last Sunday she underwent an operation, but in vain. Two of the most skillful veteri- narians on the coa Drs. Skaife and Steers, did all that was possible to .save her, but their efforts were fruitless. Oak- side Bessie’s bench show career has been one uninterrupted success. She captured first prize every time she was shown. A nobler, better tempered or more faithful dog never breathed. Her intelligent af- fection for her mistress seemed human. M. Abrahams has sent his English set- ter bitch Dolly to Farmington, Mo.. to be bred to H.- B. Ledbetter's Marie's Sport. H. C. Wegener has sold to Charles G. Lipman a black Cocker dog puppy by Champion Havoc, out of Champion Polly Pastime. Norman J. Stewart of Aromas has sold to Byron Erkenbrecher of Los Angeles a black and white collie dog puppy by Orm- skirk Blucher, out of Crapton Moss Rose and to Miss L. E. Hart of Santa Barbara, a brother of the same. Charles R. Harker of San Jose has sold to W. Rutherford the St. Bernard bitch, Countess Roseville, by Champion Melrose, out of Valkyrie. He has also sold to Al G. Wilson, Lady Pattie, by Lord Lomond, out of Graceful. Carlton has suffered a relapse and is again indisposed. Prize winners at the recent San Francisco show will soon receive their diplomas, the complex- fon of which has been retarded by Mr. Carlton’s illness. H. T. Payne is about to breed his Eng- lish setter bitch, Countess Noble, to_Ve- rona Kennels' champion, Count Glad- stone IV. —— e A. Sorenson Reinstated.
