CAPITAL HoTEL.-Sacramento has always
been noted for the superiority of its hotel
accommodations. No city of its size in the
union can better take care of such throngs
as assemble annually at our State fairs
than can Sacramento. This is due entirely
TO the fact that the management of our
leading hotels is in the hands of thorough
and competent gentlemen. One of the
best and most widely known hotels in the
State, the Capital Messrs. Blessing &
Guthrie, proprietors }, has, during the past
three months, undergone q most thorough
and complete renovation, from the kitchen
to the parlor. 1t has been thoroughly
painted, inside and out, the office dining
and reading rooms and parlors tastefully
and artistically papered and frescoed. The
sidewalk and awnings have been made
entirely new, and new carpets have been
put down throughout the entire building
Ali of the furniture has been newly up
holstered and much of it replaced by new
The bedding, particularly, has been re-
respect the Capital has no superior In
addition to the many Improvements, the
preprietors have put in large range, and
their kitchen facilities are equal to the
best. The proprietorS spared neither time
nor money in making their hotel all
they claim for it-first-class in every re-
spect.
BALLOON AscENsIoS.-At Agricultural
Park tomorrow afternoon the amusement
loving public will have an opportunity of
witnessing a grand balloon ascension by
Professor Van Tassell in his mammoth gas
balloon, City of London" The PROBES
scr, who takes pride in keeping faith with
the public, is confident that he will be able
to secure the requisite amount of gas to in
fate the balloon thoroughly, and believes
the ascension will be unusually attractive
as there is not apt to be a strong wind, and
the balloon will remain in sight for a long
time. The ascension will take place at
$50, and previous to the event spectators
will have an opportunity of witnessing at
. o'clock a game of baseball for purse of
500, offered by Professor Van Tassell, be-
tween the Alta and knickerbocker Clubs
the Atlas undertaking to make two runs to
their opponents one. The First Artillery
Band will furnish music during the after
noon.
CAKES VS.. CoRKs.-A gentleman at Red
ding few days since telegraphed to a
friend in this city the following message :
Send me by express fifty wine corks.
The recipient of the message read it g wine
cakes, and the express took to the Red
ding man five large boxes of elegant cakes
The latter did not understand why he
should be sent so much pastry, and re-
turned it to the sender with the $37 of c.
o. u. charges. The man who made the
mistake in deciphering the dispatch paid
the bill, and every one who called at the
Pacific Brewery that day was presented
with a wine cake. He explained his gen.
crosby by saying that it was his birthday
