caro- to the Public.


Having heard that certain false re-
ports have beon circulated in regard to
the sea-worthiness Of my steamer, the
Amelia. by certain interested parties, for
the purpose of deterring passengers from
making excursions upon her to Catalina,
! desire ts say. that previous to making
the purchase, ia July last. the vessel
was thoroughly examined by the United
States authorities and pronounced in
first-class condition. Since then she has
been carefully ovsrhauled. new boilers
put in and various improvements that
suggested themselves were made. includ-
ing three water-tight compartments or
bulk k-heads.
The U. s. authorities again surveyed
her last month, and have issued papers
showing her to be frst-class in every re.
speet and perfectly sea worthy. giving
her special permission to run to Cata-
lima Island.
Previous to leaving San Francisco she
was insured at the lowest rate in two
responsible companies, after being in.
spected BY Capt Cummings. a we'll.
known and highly accredited marine
surveyor, while she was on the ways.
Since her arrival here I have made
three trips myself with her to Catalina,
twice with my family, which certainly
should not have done had ! the least
doubt as to her safety.
remain very respectfully.
Your obedient servant,
PHISEAs BANNING.

4 VISIT TO SANTA CATALINA.
A Pleasant Excursion on the
Steamer Amelia An Enjoyable
Trip.

EDITOR HERALD:--0n Wednesday
morning a pleasant party from this city
and San Gabriel assembled on board the
Amelia, the beautiful steamer Of General
Banning. for a trip to Catalina, in re.
sponse to the hospitable invitation of
the genial Ad iral and his charming
wife.
On arriving at the steamers wharf,
the happy voyagers found most ele'
CANT lunch awaiting them. After doing
full justice to the tempting viands and
drinking hearty toast to the gallant
Admiral, in proposing which Colonel Il.
e. Hewitt acquitted himself in his usual
happy style, and in responding to which,
it is needless to say, the brave old sea-
dog covered himself with glory. the
beautiful craft steamed down the bay,
and out on the swelling breast of the
blue OCEAN.
The vessel. which has an established
reputation already, was surprise to all
on board The Amelia has recently
been reftted, and supplied with new
and powerful boiler. She is capable OF
carrying with ease FIVE or six hundred
passengers, and is a model OF safety,
elegance and comfort in every respect.
She has recently been duly licensed to
run to Catalina. after undergoing the
usual searching investigation by the
Government authorities.
After a pleasant run of two and hall
hours, which quickly passed with enjoy
ment of music and dancing, the steamer
dropped anchor in the clear waters oi
Timms's Bay, forming the center to one
of the most beautiful pictures Of ocear
scenery to be found along the thousand
miles Of California coast. The waters
Of this bay are SO clear that the varie
gated hues Of shells and sea ferns may
be easily seen to depth Of fifty
feet, among which the graceful forms
of the various inhabitants of the deer
may be seen. lazily gliding. Owing t.
its situation under the lee of the island
the bay is free from breakers. and one
may enjoy the most delightful batf
without any fear of fatigue or chill.
After dispensing and enjoying the
various delights Of sea and shore. the
party reassembled to . hot fish dinner,
which was most welcome to the inyigor
sted appetites Of all. After which they
sat until late hour upon the deck en-
joying the moonlight scene and breath
ing the balmy air, while the strains Of
choicest music were waited over the
peaceful bay evoked from the inslru'
ments by the hands of skilled musicians.
The steamer left the island early this
morning and, arrived at the dock al
Wilmington. the delighted guests bade
farewell to their host aud hostess, with
a firm resolve on the part Of each tina,
he would make many more trips on the
Amelia to Catalina during the summer
Those who have been so fortunate as
to secure tickets for the excursion next
Sunday, have in store a treat; and the
trip to Catalina bids fair to become the
rageo OF the season. F.

Early Irish Potatoes.

farmers Home Journal.
| presume that any family who has
a garden, desires to have a few messes
of Irish potatoes as early in the year
as possible. This is the way l have
them. About the first of November l
spade or pillow my small patch, cut
medium sized tubers in two peices,
plant them in rows two and half feet
apart, and the peices, foot apart COW
er with half rotton straw, several in
ches deep, put on the same depth of
soil and then about the middle of De-
cember, throw several more inches
straw on top of all. About the first of
March, rake off the top straw into the
middle of the rows to let the warmth
of the sun to the potatoes. Do this,
and my word for it, you will have
Irish potatoes several weeks in advance
of those who wait until spring to plant.
