of opinion in regard to the time
that the Presidential party is to
visit the Pavilion to-day. The
managers of the Fair state that the
party will be in the hall in the
| forenoon, and the ladies In the
New England Kitchen declare that
the party will take lunch In the
Kitchen at noon and that Mrs.
Hayes will assist them at the ia
bles, and are preparing accordingly.
The New England Kitchen was
very fully patronized yesterday.
The young ladies-there are no old
ones In the Kitchen-are untirlng
In their attentions to their guests,
and it IL worth two bits just to see
them in their elaborate costumes.
The tables are always supplied with
an excellent lunch. To-day at
noon the Presidential party will
dine in the kitchen. The ladies
say they are very much in need OF
cake to-day.
This evening the prizes for the
successful contestants of the school
children's exercises of Thursday
evening last will be awarded from
the stand. The prizes for the f.
successful babies in the baby show
will be presented at the same
time. The Horticultural Exhibit
awards will also be announced and
given as fully as can be done. The

the address by ]. de Barth Shorb,
ESQ.,, President of the Horticultu-

Shortly after 10 O'Clock last night
a second alarm of fire was sounded.
1t was caused by the burning of the
grocery store of G. w. Clark, East
Los Angeles. Confidence Compa.
No. 2 and the Park Hose were the
only companies that went over, the
3ss being off duty, but the fire,
which had been burning some time
before it was discovered, had gain.
ed such Roadway that they were
unable to extinguish it and the
building and contents were totally
destroyed. The origin of the fire Is
unknown, Mr.Clark, the proprietor
of the store, being at the Pavilion
at the time. The building belong
ed to Mr.. d. Botiller and was in.
sured in Mr.. w. J. Brodrick's
agency. The loss is estimated at
about $500.
On Friday, October 18th, val.
liable horse was stolen from Mr.. J.
de Barth Shorb, Of San Gabriel.
He at once gave notice at the Sher.
ifs Office and offered reward of
500 for the recovery of the animal
and an additional reward for the
arrest and conviction of the thief.
The horse was seen in this city on
Tuesday in possession of a man
named Laurance Fogel, who 1t was
learned had started for San Buena-
ventura that evening. At 3 O'Clock
Wednesday morning Constable
Botello started in pursuit and over
took Fogel within ten miles of that
town and brought him and the
horse back to this city, arriving at
4 o'clock Thursday morning. 1t
appears that the animal had
changed hands some five times
since 1t was taken from the ranch
of Mr.. Shorb. Fogel claimed that
he came by 1t honestly and on his
arrival here produced = regular bill
of sale for the horse. The matter
was worked up by Deputy Sheriff
Ling, who yesterday evening, with
the aid of Botello, succeeded in
capturing the thief, one Frank
Woodbury., who formerly worked
for Mr.. ShOrb.
