undoubtedly the display made in

Undoubtedly the display made In
the windows of G. Prayer is one of
the brightest and most inspiriting
sights in Los Angeles. 1t is hard
to surpass this enterprising estab-
lishment In the novelty, variety
and staple quality of the goods sold
by 1t.
A thing of beauty is a joy for
ever. The ladies can feast their
eyes and souls on the splendid ell
verware offered as premiums by
the Horticultural Society by call
ing at Sweetzer's jewelry-store, on
Main street, The show window
and a large case inside are filled
with these beautiful premiums.
Every lady should see them, and
by making a display at the coming
Fair become the possessor OF one or
more of these beautiful prizes.
A gentleman of Los Angeles, who
occasionally frequents those odious
beer saloons, has a lady dog who
has an interesting litter of puppies.
BY some accident the canine ma
tron, the other day, in one of the
saloons aforesaid, managed to get
hold of two or three pound pack
age of Limburger cheese, wrapped
up in tin foil. She applied herself
to it with a great and manifest rel
ish; and, when her theft was dis
covered, she had dispatched fully
half of it. On going home her
progeny started forward to well
come her with the usual family
cordiality, but they recoiled with
manifest horror when they had
smelled of her breath. There is n
lesson in this incident which pre-
tentious bipeds may lay to heart.
We occasionally receive an inti-
nation that r. B. Hayes is in CAL
ifornia, there or thereabouts. AS
also John Sherman, Secretary Of
the Treasury. AS also Ramsey,
Secretary of War. AS also w. 4.
Sherman, General of the Army.
All these high and mighty officials
are here. They are likely to stay
for some time, they are having
such chunky" time, aud to re-
vive the old episode of the Old
Man of the Mountain, who figured
in the stories of Sinbad the Sailor.
AS far as we can learn, there isn't q
single high official of the govern
ment in Washington. They are
all out stumping for the Republic
can party. And yet the govern
ment don't suffer. Blsmillabl
Marshallah!! God he praised. Our
Sacramento kilograms yesterday
crowded r. B. Hayes five separate
times into the cattle show at Sacra-
mento, which, we submit, Is over
doing the business.
The Southern Pacific Is now in
complete running order distance
of eighty miles beyond Benson, A.
T., making 626 miles from Los An
geles, or 1852 miles for the round
trip. Col. Strowbridge, with his
graders, was, at last advices, six
miles beyond the New Mexican
line. Road building proceeds at
the rate of nearly two miles a day.
In view of the fact that connec-
ton will be made with tho A. Z. &
s. +. road considerably west of El
Paso, from which point the termi-
nus of the s. p. r. r. Is now only
distant 1SO miles; and considering,
further, that the A. Il. & s. r. road
10 being pushed with an almost
equal vigor westward, the dream
of a transcontinental railway below
the snow belt is not far from
fruition. 1t will be solid fact,
and the tide of Eastern travel will
set heavily through Los Angeles.
There will be issued from the
HERALD Office during Fair Week a
daily called the Fair Programme.
1t will be a four-page paper con-
tanning twenty.four columns, on
every page of which will be read
ing matter almost exclusively de-
voted to the Fair. A large edition
VIII DD lSsueu uuiIys 0b bOOui Cob-
tanning the programme for the day
and other matters Of interest. 1t
will be distributed by the Fair
management, and will be an
invaluable medium for ad-
vertising, which the mer-
camille community will doubtless
fully appreciate. Business men
will probably agree that at least a
considerable proportion of the prof
its attaching to such a class of en-
terprises should be enjoyed by a
daily paper which, every day In
the year, is doing its level best to
advance the interests Of this Sec
tion. To-day, and until the Fair
opens, and during its continuance,
MIR. II. A. Templeton will canvass
the business men of Los Angeles In
the interest OF this publication.
The thousands who will be In at
tendance during Fair Week can be
most surely reached by the adver-
