Sercnade Last Night

A number of our citizens, accom-
panied by the Los Angeles Guards
Band, assembled in front Of the
Cosmopolitan Hotel last night to
serenade General Murphy and the
distinguished party of strangers
now visiting this city. After sew
eral airs by the band Senator Far.
ley was called for. The Senator re-
sponded by expressing his pleasure
at the opportunity his visit afford
ed of becoming more intimately ac-
ouainted with the needs of his con-
stituents in this part of the State,
and concluded by promising to use
his best efforts to procure such leg
islation as would result in the per-
mapent advancement of their in
terests. The next speaker was
General Williams, United States
Senator from Kentucky, who
expressed his qualification at hav-
ING been permitted to learn from
nersonal observation of the wonder
f,1i resources of California and,
while thanking those present for
the serenade, acknowledged in the
warmest terms the hospitality that
had been extended to him at all
points during his sojourn in the
State.
Senator Gwin, Attorney
General 10 Hamilton and General
Murphy also responded most felic-
itously to repeated calls, the latter
concluding by short address in Ia
lengue del pals.

Deciduous Nurseries.

The Horticultural Society are in
receipt of the following letter:
L. NJ. Holt, Secretary s. @. Horti-
cultural Society,":
DEAR SIR: Herewith please find
certificate of deposit for $40, paya-
BILE to your order, to be given as a
prize "for the largest and best cared
for nursery of deciduous trees, in
Guiding greatest number of new va
rieties, in Los Angeles county,"
Very truly yours,
e. Il. SPENCE.
Secretary Holt informs us that
the proposition will be acted upon
at once and books opened for en-
tries. AS the time before the Fair
is too short to get word to all parts
of the county the time for making
entries will probably be extended
to the close OF Fair week, and the
committee will visit the nurseries
after the Fair and make the award.
Why cannot some public spirited
man offer similar premium for
the best seml.tropical nursery
