PROPOSED DOG SHOW. 
The following article from the Pacific Commercial Advertiser 
of January 27, 1910, is believed to be of sufficient general interest 
to warrant its being reprinted here : 
The Kennel Club had a very well attended and enthusiastic 
iueeting in Tom Sharp’s paint foundry last evening, and not only 
elected new officers, but definitely decided to have a dog show 
in Honolulu during September while the Alameda is here. 
The officers elected are : D. P. R. Isenberg, president ; L. C. 
Abies, vice-president: Tom Sharp, secretary and treasurer; W. J. 
\Miite, auditor; D. P. R. Isenberg, Tom Sharp, W. H. Charlock, 
Wm. Henry, Doctor Rowat, J. McATigh and C. T. Littlejohn, 
directors. 
The matter of a judge was brought up and Tom Sharp stated 
that the services of ^ the well known judge and expert, George 
Cranfield, of Fruitvale, California, would be at the disposal of 
the club. !Mr. Cranfield will be able to leave on the Alameda and 
take the same boat back after the show is over. 
During the informal discussion a very interesting fact, that is 
not generally known, came up. That is that dogs, with a pedi- 
gree certified to by a secretary of a kennel club, are admitted to 
tlie United States free of any duty, \\dthout this open sesame a 
dog is valued and twentv per cent, of the valuation charged. 
The last show given by the local kennel club was in Septem- 
ber, 1907. At this show there were some 150 dogs exhibited and 
the affair was a great success. This vear the club hopes to have 
just as large an entry list and with dogs of much higher rating 
entered in all classes. 
There was some talk about the possibility of making the dog 
show a regular agricultural fair, with a horse show, cattle show, 
chicken show and fruit and vegetable show. But, while this was 
taken as an excellent idea it was thought that, as most of the stock 
would have to come from the other islands, it would be hardly 
practicable. The sending of valuable stock by steamers from one 
island to another and back, is hardly a suggestion that would 
appeal to owners.
