DOINGS IN DOGDOM. Distemper is prevalent not only locally, but at many points on the coast. Half Moon Bay is inflicted with an up-to-date pest, in the shape of a dog poisoner. Dr. Glover's remedies are good and efficient for the treat- ment of dogs during these distemper days. Coursing at Sacramento has been temporarily discontinued owing to the bad condition of the grounds. The sport will be resumed on the 30th inst. Frank Smith and Al Steiner of Livermore left on Janu- ary 12th for Seattle. They had with them twenty-five dogs that have been trained in Livermore for A laska sled work. Friday following Tod 8mith and Geo. Van Gordon Btarted for Seattle, from that point the Livermoreans will depart the latter part of the mo-ith for the Alaskan gold fields. At Modesto, Sunday afternoon, January 9th, there was a match coursiDg race between L. A. Comin's dog, Tom Cy, and G. H. Bertran's Swift. Comin's dog had the best two out of three courses. The winner wagered $10 against $7 that his dog would be the victor. H. C. Glover, London, Ont., Canada. Dear Sir.—Your Imperial Mange Cure is the best I ever saw or used. I have bad spaniels very bad with mange, and your cure completely restored them ; in fact in a month the hair was as long as it ever was. I recommend it to any one having dogs afflicted this way. T. A. Stiphen, Federal Bank, London, Ont. The fifteenth annual field trials of the Pacific CoaBt Field Trials Club will commence at Bakersfield on Monday. The interest among Coast and local sportsmen in these contests has been nnabated and no doubt there will be a large attendance of enthusiastic visitors. East- ern attention has been a strong factor in ci eating a large fund of curiosity and specnlation as to the probable winners in the trials. Arrangements for the trials are practically completed Col. Arthur W. Merriman, of Memphis, Tenn., will be the leading judge, associated with him will be A. Vandervoort of Pasadena. Wm. Dormer, who bad originally been selected as one of the judges, having gone to Seattle, tbe selection of the third judge will be made during the meeting of the club in Bak- ers h\ Id to morrow evening. It has been rumored that Judge N. C. PoBt, of Sacramento will be the probable choice of the clnb. Two events will run—the Derby, for pointers and Betters that have never run and who at the beginning of 1898 were not two years old, and the All-aged stake, in which all dogs will be eligible. The Derby entries clos- ed last November and were 22 in number. Tbe number of starters have not been estimated as only dogs will be started by owners and handlers that are in condition and have a ehance of winning The pointer entries outnumber those of setters. The setters will probably have the advantage in the All- aged Btake. This has been the rule in previous trials and this year the setter interest is unusually prominent, prompted by recent importations of famous setters from the East. The pride of California owners and trainers has been thoroughly aroused, and if the utmost care and unusual diligence in pre- paration of the dogs will avail the results of the trials it will be such as will uphold the already high reputation of tbe California dogs. The standard of quality represented in the All-aged stake would be hard to overcome in any country. In addition to the cups already mentioned in the columns of the Breeder and Sportsman an additional cup will be awarded to the best dog in the All-aged stake. This cup has been donated by our esteemed contemporary, Western Sports Sacramento Bench Show.

The list of entries for the dog show in Sacramento closed on January 18th; we note a summary of the same up to that date, but other entries are expected by mail. The list is a fa rly large one and greatly excels last year's entries in qual- ;(y. The number for each class is as follows: Mastiffs 1, treat Danes 2, St. Bernards 16, Greyhounds 3, Pointers 9, 'oglieh Setters 4, Gordon Setters 1, Irish Setters 5, Collies Domioick Shannon received two first class dogs from St. Louis by express last Wednesday. Both of these runners are entered in the stake to-day. The owner of a fine pair of Italian greyhounds can, if de- sirable, fiod a purchaser for them by addressing the kennel editor of the Breeder and Sportsman. The Humboldt Kennels last week sold a Newfoundland dog and bitch to Mr. Tolman of Juneau, Alaska, for use in drawing sleighs in the Klondike district. Pete Kyne and Jack Debenedetti will enter their prize mastifi ,(Heck" in the coming San Francisco bench show. They expect to have him in fine condition. Chas. Dresser has sold several dogs to parties who contem- plate an early trip to the Klondike. Mr. Van Gordon of Oakland bought one, and Mr. C. J. Bromley purchased four St. Bernards recently. £. H. Mulcaster, a leashman of international reputation arrived in this city on Thursday last. It is repotted that he brought a cojple of cracks from St.Louis, but at present tbe greyhounds are under cover. The Glasgow bench show had 401 collie entries, these in- cluded the best dogs in Scotland and some of the best from over the border. The judge of the collie classes was Mr. Hugo Ainscough, the veteran breeder and fancier. was made, however. bowled over during the morning Bhoot, The Black Jacks. this particular curiosity should have been made manifest does not appear, but neverlheless. when the jocks took their seats in the cranky little boats it was at once evident that they knew their business. The conditions for Bhooting were not in favor of the party, the weather being very cold and most of the ponds were covered with a thin film of ice, consequently tbe ducks were not flying, and the de- coys had but ten fathered visitors. A fair combined bag Shields shot the best canvasback The above illustration is reproduced from photos taken during a recent Bhooting trip near Antioch.
