Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-10-01

We learn that the meeting at
Santa Ana on Saturday night to
hear Mr.. L. NJ. Holt, Secretary of
Horticultural Society, was we'll at
tended. Music was furnished by
the Santa Ana baud. Mr.. Holt
talked about half an hour, and was
listened to throughout with marked
attention. After the meeting a
number of prominent citizens met
In the hotel and appointed COM
mittees to see that the Santa Ana
valley is properly represented at
the coming Fair. 1t IL understood
that Orange, Santa Ana, Tustin
City and Gospel Swamp will join
in the one department and make
display that will be creditable. 1t
is also proposed to run an excur-
sion train from Santa Ana to Los
Angeles during Fair week, and to
have the Santa Ana band accom-.
pany the excursion and attend the
Fair. Anaheim Is also doing good
work, and will probably see to it
that their little neighbOr across the
raging Santa Ana does not get
away with the finest exhibit.
1t is said that no one Is great
man to his valell This will apply
even to the daughter of the "great
SENATOR" Jessie b. Fremont,
When she arrived at Yuma she
discovered that she had left, in the
st. Charles Hotel, behind the door
of her room, night gown, and sh e
wrote from Yuma to S. w. Craigue,
for its prompt forwarding to that
place. OF such are the materials of
history! But the tragic circum-
stance does not even end there.
When the messenger from the st.
Charles arrived at the post Office
and, pursuant to Jessie's instruc-
tions, demanded that the bundle
should be registered as "third-
class" mail matter, the clerk in
quired, "Is there any written mat
ter In this?"
Messenger (replying)-"The only
thing in it is Jessie Il. Fremonts

We draw veil oyer subsequent
denouensents.
Mr.. f. j. Barretto, of the Forest
Grove stock farm, Downey City,
passed through this city yesterday
with his herd of Jersey cattle.
We are much pleased to hear that
Mr.. Barretto carried away from the
State Fair at SACRAMENTO, as we'll
US the District Fair at Stockton,
many of the first premiums, taking
for ree-year-old heifers and one.
year old heifers both first and sec.
ond prizes. and for bis famous one
year old bull, Blythe, the first
premium, both at sacramento and
Stockton. His two.year.old bull
Mahomet brought home no less
than Ave premiums from the two
Fairs. We mention these few in
stances, which are only q part of
the twenty.one premiums brought
home by Mr.. Barretto's herd. We
have reason to believe that Mr..
Barretto will exhibit some portion
of his herd at our District Fair.
By card, published elsewhere, 1t
will be seen that Mr. b. f. Draken-
field has purchased from Mr.. John
Carlln the agency for the very
strong insurance companies for
which the latter was agent in this
city. These, added to the very su-
perior companies previously on his
list, will enable Mr. Drakenfeld to
give his patrons range of COM
panies from which to choose second
to no others In the world. Persons
about to take out policies will find
1t to their interest to give Mr.. d. a
call.
The Turner's, at their entertain
ment ON Sunday night, performed
some wonderful gymnastic feats.
The feature of the evening, how
ever, was the exhibition of the ju'
venile class, who went through
, their exercises with precision
that reflected the greatest credit OIL
their preceptor, Herr Suder, anC
evoked the most enthusiastic ap'
plause. AT the conclusion OF tht
, exhibition the floor was cleared fol
