CROP PROSPECT IN CALIFORNIA.
A Fair Harvest of Cereals Expected
Perhaps the Best Fruit Season
Ever known In the state.
Snn Ernncfaco Bulletin.


The Bulletin recently published very full
report Of the condition OF the crops In all
parts Of the State. These reports related
principally to cereal crops. They are not
all OF favorable tenor; but It is worthy OF
note that they are as nearly so as they were
last year at a corresponding date, or would
be In any year in which the rainfall was ex-
cessive. Last year the rainfall was extraor-
binary. The cereal crop was reduced con-
sidersbly by this excessive moisture. This
year we have the other extreme. Yet recent
crop reports show that over large area of
the State there is the promise of good
harvest. This promise is Of course predicated
on the theory that there will still be late rains.
L. is now the last day of March, and II is not
usual to have very heavy rains In the month
of April. There are remaining about five
weeks during which a moderate amount of
moisture may be expected. A great deal
hinges on these few weeks. Timely showers
will help out the cereal crops, even where
to-day they are not very promising. South
of Merced, In the great San JOAQUIN valley,
the rainfall has not been sufficient to insure
wheat crops on ordinary land, and it is
hardly probable that futnre rains would do
much more than to revive and freshen the
pastures. The irrigated land will, of course,
produce full crops without further rainfall.
The weather observers are still sanguine
that we shall have late rains, and do not
appear TO be at all discouraged by the PROV
erb that all signs fail in dry weather. With
timely showers ia April the recent
crop reports would indicate q har-
vest quite up to that of last year.
This season is much later than usual, it
being as much as twelve to fifteen days be-
hind that of last year in the growth OF grass
and cereals and in the development of the
new crop Of fruit. AS to the latter, all the
reports thus far are favorable. The cold
weather of February kept back the buds,
and the warm weather In the last of March
brought them into blossom rapidly. There
is now the promise of one of the best fruit
seasons ever known in this State. The or
chards are In full blossom, and the set OF
young fruit is remarkable. No influences
preiudicisl to the fruit crop are now con-
templated. The "northers" have been un-
usually prevalent this year, and there is still
the contingency OF some danger from that
quarter. 1t now looks as If a dry season
would be fairly productive one over the
greater part of the State.

HamIet-Richelieu Tonight.

The second night of Mr.. Keene's en-
gagement was scored as equally a
brilliant success as that which greeted
his opening night. The Theatre was
filled with an intelligent and fashionable
audience, and their enjoyment of the
performance was manifest in their
frequent and liberal applause. Shak-
speare's Hamlet was presented, and in
the character of the young ''Prince of
Denmark" Mr.. keene gave still further
evidence of his past careful study, the
rendition being decidedly an improve
ment on his previous effort.
In the PRESERVATION of the character of
Hamlet" Mr.. Keene has evidently made
the elder Booth his model, and the hard
study of such a master of the passions and
their presentation to a critical audience
evidences his high histriOnic genius. The
scene in the encounter with his fathers
ghost we have never seen surpassed by
any tragedian of the day, and the contest
between the passions of love and revenge
i'm the interview with his mother when he
kneels at her feet and presents the por-
trait of his murdered father could not be
surpassed. Altogether, we regard MI.
keene as the most promising young TRACE
dian on the American boards.
Miss Anna storey rendered the character
of N'Ophelia'' eXcellently. well, and the
Queen of Miss Hamblin was very good.
Nj. Beach made a fair Ghost and the
''Laertes" of Mr.. LearOck and 'Polonius"
of Mr.. Ahrendt were quite effective. The
plav was we'll mounted and presented in a
style that met the appreciation of the dis
eliminating audience.
At the matinee this afternoon will be
given The Merchant of Venice" and at
night Mr.. keene closes his engagement in
Bulwer's "Richelieu," and we are salts
fed from his recent performances this sea-
son that he will portray the grand old
Cardinal with great effectiveness. If
YOU desire to secure good seats, call at
Bren's early this morning.

The New York san says Of the new play
"Chispa:"
..Chispa,'' 4 new play by Clay NJ. Greene
and SlasOn Thompson, authors Of M liss'
and FLATS and Sharps," was brought out
in Haverly'S Fourteenth Street Theatre
last evening. 1t is intended to be the
means ofdisplaying the capabilities OfMiss
Marion Gilmore. YiYaciOus young woman
who can talk brightly, sing well and dance
easily. The scenes in the four acts after
a prologue are laid in lumber camps of
California. and the scenery is not the least
of the elements of the play. "Chispa,' in
a short dress. yellow leggings, and
a damaged straw hat, half covering
a mass of tangled hair, is the Idol
of Bachelors Gulch," and consequently
has her own way in almost everything,
and thereby causes considerable trouble
before she is happy and cOntented as the
wife Of the man who saved her from death
on the plains. That man is Zeke Stevens,
a guide. who i'm the course of years is a
Iumberman and mill owner. The role
might be stronger than it is, although
Frank IOSee made all there is of it. An
entirely original character is that of In
dian Jack. Piute. who kills villains IN
the nick of time and is otherwise useful.
The comedy element is furnished by Doe
Jones. a lOquaciOus individual, and Anas-
tasia Mount Auburn, 9oVerness Tor the
indispensable heiress. Incidents follow
one another quickly, and the play Will be
popular undoubtedly.
