At the Office of the Central Pacific Rail.
road is being put up considerable quan-
tity of fruit, to be used as a permanent
exhibition of California products in Chi.
csgo and London. Most Of that now being
prepared goes, however, to the former
place. The fruit and grain now being put
up comes principally from Fresno, and en-.
braces about thirty varieties of grapes,
peaches, plums, corn, Egyptian corn,
wheat, Japanese dates, and other products.
These were all collected by Mr.. Tynell, of
the railroad company, who personally
visited Fresno and made personal applica-
ton for specimens. All Of the fruit is pre-
served in Jars, and retains its color and
bloom for an indefinite length of time. It
was the intention of the railroad company
TO maintain at Chicago and Louisville an
exhibit of fresh fruite. but voluntary con-
tributions could not be obtained, and this
scheme has been abandoned. Mr.. Tynell,
however, thinks that he will be able to get
at Fresno and other places one lot of fresh
fruit for shipment within few days.
