Fruit at tho Vienna Exposition.

A correspondent Of the Tribune says of the
hne display of winter apples and pears that 1t ia
really fne-"apples as plump and rosy-cheeke cd
IS if just picked from the tree, and pears al
fragrant and toothsome as any that come from
California in August to our New York markets.
Our American farmers know how to keep apples
until July brings a new crop Of Early Sweets and
Harvest Pippins, but doubt whether many of
them have eaten great, luscious, mellow pears
in the middle of May. The best preserved var
ieties in the Exhibition are the Dechants the
Vergalieu, the Herrn, the oster, the Butter, and
the Apothecary, and they come from Styria,
TRENT, and Wurtemburg. The finest apples are
from Pomerania and Wurtemburg.

The Tournament,
WHAT THE KNIGHTS SAY

As the tournament at Suffolk Park on Tuesday
was not an unqualified success. and as the
knights have been somewhat criticised, it is but
fair to give their statement. They cana from
Delaware at the request Of the persons having
the affair in charge to ride for the prizes offered
Their expenses were to be paid, but they we're
not to receive any money for riding. 1t should
be Understood that these Knights are gentlemen
who frequently give tournaments at home for
amusement solely and that they visited Phila-
dslphia not professional paid performers.
They are much dissatisfied with the manner with
which the affair was managed. and greatly NOR
tilted at its result. They claim that the mana
gers failed in every way to keep faith with them
They were not allowed an opportunity to prac-
tice their horses the prizes were not what they
were promised to be, and the ground not

pers were doing nothing in the way
Of purchasing. The advices from the
Eastern markets were Of q favorable
tenor, and had there been any good
cattle on sale they wonld have brought
good prices. In the absence of sales
we quote shipping cattle nominally at
$4.5O@5.25 for fair to good and $500
5.621s for choice steers. Extra would
bring $5.75@6. Stock cattle were
quiet, and prices nominal at $2.50@4
for poor to choice grades. City butch.
ers purchased few droves of common
to good cows and fair to good butch
ers' steers IT from $2.25@4.5O. The mar
ket closed steady, with the yards we'll
cleared of all desirable cattle.
HoGs-There was no particular
change to note in the condition Of the
hog trade to-day. The supply on sale
was large, but the fresh arrivals were
light. Packers were buying freely at
$40, showing Q disposition to clear
the pens at this figure. Shippers were
more cautious in their movements,
having generally filed their orders on
the previous days of the week. A few
poor, stale hogs sold 1t $4.45@4 so.
Common and medium packing hogs
sold ct $4.55Q4.65, Fair aud good to
choice packing hogs sold at 4.7O@4 so,
with "a 70 as the rnling figure. Ship

THE IOWA STOCK LA W DEULAgEn
CONSTITuTION NAL.

The supreme Court of Iowa has just
rendered decision on the Wright
Stock Law, holding the law to be con-
s!itutional, as follows, in brief: Chap
ter = OF the FOrty-fonrth act of the
Twelfth General Assembly provides
! that stock taken in the act Of doing
damage between sunset and sunrise,
may he detained by the person whose
property is Injured. whether the fences
surrounding sneh property arc lawful
or otherwise. The last section of the
chapter provides that the law shall be
submitted TO vote OF the people of
the counties named, aud ahall not be
III force in any county unless MAORI
ty OF the votes be cast in favor of its
adoption. II il held, in the case OF
santo VS.. The State of iowa, Volume
% of Iowa Reports, page l65, and in
other cases, that the last section of the
: chapter is unconstitutional, and that
the provisions Of the AIT are In force
In tho State, without regard to the
vote contemplated by the last section.
II therefore becomes important to the
farmers of Napelio county to say
whether tbcg giant .uoi, law or not.
IL has been supposed that il was neees.
saIy for Il vote in favor Of ii by the
people of any county in order TO put
it in force in such county. This seems
not to be The case.
