Yesterday afternoon a Mexican


presented an order bearing the
name of Jas. B. Lankershim at the
store of the Messrs. Newmark, for
$64, the signature to which was so
clumsily executed that it was at
once seen to be a forgery. Mr..
Harris Newmark, TO whom the or
der was presented, made no remark
as to its genuineness, but asked the
man to come with him. They
started off together, the man think
ing, doubtless, that he was being
taken to the bank 10 get the
money, but instead Mr.. Newmark
landed him at police headquarters.
On being questioned as to how he
came by the order he said a man
whom he met on the road had re-
quested him to get it cashed. On
being questioned further he admit
ted that the man who had given it
to him was in town. Accompanied
by Office deputy Frank Baker and
another officer he started out to
find the second man and when they
reached Upper Main street they
came across him. He was
brought to the police office
where he stated that he
had received the order from man,
whom he named, out in the coun-
try. Nos. and 2 were locked up,
and the officers are on the track of
the other, who, they expect, will
be bagged quite as easily as the
others were. Altogether, it is
about the most verdant affair that
The Committee on the Horticul-
tural Pavilion site yesterday visit
ed the lot on Temple street which
eX-Mayor Beaudry has offered to
donate to the Society. This lot is
circular in form with a diameter of
800 feet, is surrounded by street
sixty feet wide and occupies
one of the most commanding loca
lions in the city. The only objec-
ton urged against the locality is
that it is now so mewhat remote
from the center of population; still
the distance from the Court House
is no greater than the lot which Mr..
Rivara proposed to sell to the Asso-
citation. Temple street has street.
car grade all the way from the
junction Of Main and Spring to the
site proposed, and there is at pres
emf in existence charter for a line
which will doubtless even-
tuate in that quick aud easy mode
of comm unication. 1t will not be
long, too, until the hills extending
back to Beaudry Park will be
we'll occupied with residences. 1t
seems altogether, that in view of
the somewhat restricted circum-
stances in which the Association
finds itself. the offer of Mr.. Beaudry
is one which it would be an act of
folly to pass over without thorough
consideration.

Captain A. II. Wilcox's yacht
Ariel, which has just arrived at
San Francisco from New York and
is now lying at Folsom street
wharf, attracts considerable atten-
ton. 1.-THE little vessel is unques-
tionably a beauty, and when
cleaned upand painted will present
a fine appearance. 1t is not the
intention to give any more length
to her masts, as those she has now
are the same she used East. A
longer bowsprit is to be put in,
and az she has all Der sails and
racing gear in readiness. it will
not take much time to get her in
sailing trim. Her interior ar
raugements are neat and comfort
able. She has, in addition to u
neat cabin, three staterooms. For
ward of these are the pantry and
galley and the quarters for the
crew. The Ariel is q sister vessel
to the yacht Idler, of the New
York Yacht Club, which is noted
as remarkable sailer. Captain
LIE Sack says that the biggest days
run on the passage out was 247
miles, under double-reefed main
sail. This may be called remarka-
