California Fruit in New York.
New YORK, June 2d-A large dealer in
California fruits, when asked by your re-
porter this morning if the shipment of
cherries from California 10 Eastern mar
| kets is likely to prove a success, said I've
got some California cherries here I'd like to
show you They arrived May 28th and
have been here Just five days" In the rear
of the store were number of boxes piled
up which, being opened, emitted very
unpleasant smell The fruit itself could
not be seen, owing to thick covering of
blue mold. Upon emptying the contents
in a small box the cherries were found to
be all rotten. I'D like to sell them for a
cent box" said the dealer, laughing
but I'm afraid [ couldn't find purchaser
even at that figure. No, the shipment of
| California cherries by the carload or in
| large quantities will never be a success.
10 GOT in 81,
and together with the excessive freight
| charges, they will prove dead loss to the
dealer The way to do is to send them
| here in small packages. before the natives
begin to arrive. A big shipment of cherries
| from San Francisco last week went to Chi
cago | don't believe they will be placed
on the market here.
| California peaches are arriving daily in
large quantities They are picked green,
color on the trip, and arrive in pretty fair
| condition. selling from 81 TO 81 a case. APP
ricots are also plentiful, and get here in
| good order. They bring 81 90 to So 90 per
| box containing 300 Currents also are ar
irving from California. and they are worth
20 cents per pound. When Georgia peaches
arrive the season for California peaches will
be at an end, though there is always de
mand for them whenever in good cOndi-
| ton. Plums and pears from California
will be placed upon the market shortly
Taking it all together l can't say the de-
mand for California fruit is as good this
wear as last The sale is decidedly limited.
Some steps ought to be taken to reduce the
| eXorbitant freight charges, which fairly
eat up our profits. We have to take the
risk of the fruit being in an eatable condi-
ton when it arrives, and | can tell you
that is pretty big risk to take on fruit
| from the Pacific Coast"
General Sheridan's Injury More Serious
| than at First Reported.
New YORK, June 2d.-A West Point
| special announces the arrival of the Visit
| ing Board, and large number of officers
and guests, to witness the annual examina-
ton. There is great disappointment over
the failure of the President and General
| Sheridan to be present. The latter writes
| that he is not able TO attend because of his
late accident. His letter contained the sur
! prising information that the General was
| in Washington with one of his legs in a
| plaster cast, having fractured small bone
of the limb at Los Angeles. 1t appears
| that the real condition of the Generals leg
was not ascertained until his arrival in
Washington.
The American Turf.
New YORK, June 2d.-The Jerome Park
| meeting thus far has been a great success
There has been a greater attendance than
for many years back The sport has been
of a very high order, and some finishes
have been as close as even the most exact
| ing race-gOer could desire. The leading
event on the card to-day is the great
| Metropolitan handicap, one mile for all
ages, in which a dozen horses will face the
| flag. No California entries are on the pub
| lished card to-day but three or four Pacific
| coast racers will run Wednesday and Sat
| urday For the Belmont stakes on Satur-
! day a great race will be seen between
Tyrant, Goldfellow and Tecumseh. Tyrant
would seem to have a sure thing of it, for
| horse with such a turn of speed as he has
is bound to stay a mile and a half, but
Littlefeld has Tecumseh IN far better shape
| than he had him last Tuesday, and he
thinks he has great chance of beating the
Californian. Goldfellow failed to run up
to his private form in the Wlthers, but the
race did him lot of good. 1t was Just
what he wanted to fine him down. 4 mile
and half should suit him better than
mile, and under these circumstances the
finish between the three should be a grand
one.

Canadian Commissioners Report on the
Chinese.
BosToN, June 2d.-The Herald says The
report of the Canadian Commissioners on
the Chinese problem shows that these gen
tlcmen approached the subject in more
philosophic and statesman-like manner
than those of our countrymen officially APP
pointed to make similar investigation.
The Canadian Commissioners remark that
| those who object to the Chinese do not OBJ
ject to Italians or even Japanese or if they
| object to these too, they do not on any
large public ground, but because of some
interference which they experience i'll their
personal affairs. OF such race antagonism
the Government should not take notice.
Either immigration should be free to all,
or, II prohibited or restricted. restrictions
should be based upon broad general prin-
clpleS, applicable TO all Immigrants, no
matter from what country they may come.
II Is uncertain whether Canadian legiSla-
ton will be framed in accordance with the
report of the Commissioners, or controlled
by the interested opinions of those repre-
senting the dominant party in British CO.
