president ^appoint"" tt committee to
bring in at least, seven names as
suggestions fofr appointment at the
next meeting to be held Sunday,
Jan. 15th at 2' pm. at the City
Mall This was thought to be
the best way of obtaining a set
of hard working 'officials for the
coming year, men and .women who
would have time to devote 'their
time to the interest of the Ken
nel Club, and be willing to do so,
as this is one year that eyery
effort must be put forward to
bring to a successful conclusion the
activities of the—-Kennel Club
sports. '
.A motion was made and ? carried
that natives be considered eligible
for membership in the Kennel
Club and invited to join the same.
A committee “was appointed to
look Into the_matter—of—netting
elutes for future dog races and to
report at the next meeting.
Edna Ohristofferson was pres
ent and was initiated as a mem -
her of the Kennel Club and hence
forth when meeting a dog driver
on die trail she' will he expected
to give the required recognition
and say howdy^jji real Alaska dog
language.
The matter of holding the usual
Bordon Marathon dog race, and
also reviving the old Solomon dog
derby were discussed and consid
erable Interest was manifested in
keeping .these two important racas
before the public. The Solomon
derby was always a popular race
but for some unknown reason has
not been run for the past few
years. It now looks as though
the Kennel Club will again make
H possible for this classic to be
staged.
Meeting adjourned to meet Sun
day at 2pm. at the City Hall, to
which all members of the club as
well as lovere of dog racing are
Invited.
