BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 



JUDGE C. N. POST. 



Among the numerous and excellent sportsmen of the Pacific coast there is no 

 one more conspicuous than the subject of this brief sketch. Judge C. N. Post, of 

 Sacramento, California, being prominent both in the history of the Pacific Coast 

 Field Trial Club and in the judicial interests of the state which he honors. 



Judge Post organized the Pacific Coast Club in 1883, which held its inaugural 

 trial in December of that year and which has held annual trials every year since, ex- 

 cept in 1887, when the date of the trials was changed from Decembei to January 

 following, in' which month the trials have since been held, except in one year, when 

 they were run in February. 



Judge Post's interest in the club has never flagged ; managing to get away from 

 his exacting duties to attend its trials. In the earlier trials he handled a number of 

 his dogs occasionally one for a friend, and many times won with them, some of them 

 as follows: Sweetheart, second in Derby of '84; Janet dividing third, All-age stake, 

 '85 • Tom Pinch, third, All-age, '86; first with Sunlit in Derby and second with Har- 

 old 'in All-age stake, '88; third All-age stake with Sunlit, '89; first and third in Der- 

 by with Salina and Stephanie, and first All-age with Sunlit, '90; and third, Derby, 

 with Petronella in '91, since which time he has not handled his dogs so often, but 

 his kennels have met unvarying success. He has always manifested a keen interest in 

 the club which has been benefitted by his able councils. _ 



The records of the club were destroyed by the great fire in San Francisco, April 

 17, last year, but the publication of them in a previous volume, and now reproduced 

 in 'this book in full, including the missing 1888 records, are valuable to the officials 



of the club. . 



Judge Post, after having ably discharged the duties of Assistant Attorney Cren- 

 eral for the State of California, has recently been elected as judge of the Superior 

 Court, State of California. 



In a recent letter from Judge Post he says: "I would like to see some of our 

 California sportsmen noted in vour coming book, we have some mighty good ones in 

 California." A fact which no one doubts, and we regret not being able to comply 

 with his request. A letter similar to the one sent Judge Post being mailed to at least 

 ten of them, but no response was made, which has been attributed to a supposed 

 change of address of many since the disastrous fire.
