The California Trotter, Arab.
PtTTsBuRG, July 12th.-The great Califor-
mia gelding, Arab, is stabbed at the Driving
Park. and is slowly getting on edge. His
fastest mile, SO far, has been in 2:23, but he
goes so easily and his gait is so clean and
frictionless that experts are inclined to
think that great deal faster time than
that must be made to beat him. Arab will
start first this season in the 2:17 class, at De-
troit, and will come down the circuit Be
fore long he and Harry Wilkes will trot
against each other in match. Hickok
says about st. Julian, the old king: "Heis
in a paddock near Santa Rosa, Cal, and
has not done with the track yet. He can
trot his mile in 2:15 tomorrow"
Transcontinental Pool Matters.
New York, July 12th.-Again rumors of
the speedy settlement of the transconti-
mental pool troubles are being industri-
ously circulated among railroad men and
shippers. The only foundation for these
TumorS seem to be to-days meeting of the
Directors of the Pacific Mail and of the
Panama Company, to confer about their
regulations 1t is now definitely known
that Huntington offered the Pacific Mail
people SS5, 900 as a monthly subsidy, but it
was not to go into effect for two months,
for the reason that no freight for California
was offering, or likely to offer. This propo-
sition was emphatically refused, the Pacific
Mail demanding that the subsidy be paid
at once.

the Herald representative, will start this
evening on an exploring expedition of the
unknown regions to the north of the
American continent. He will take passage
at New London, Conn, on the northern
whaIer Erie, which will lay him on the
Cumberland inlet, where he hopes, ty a
bold dash, to reach the most northern lati-
tude yet touched, and if possible plant the
American standard on the North Pole.
Colonel Glider accompanied Lieutenant
Schwatka in his search for the remains of
the Sir John Franklin expedition. Will
lam Griffiths is the only white man who
accompanies him. Glider will take with
him number OF firearms and provisions

oipally on fish and game. Glider expects to
find an open sea to some extent but not
navigable.
Diseased Fruit In the East.
New YORK, July 18th The Times says:
az The peach season has opened in Della
ware, Maryland and New Jersey, with pre-
maturely ripened fruit. This fruit comes
from diseased trees, ana as the trees from
which they come are unhealthy, the fruit
itself can hardly be wholesome. Most of
the fruit that will come this week from
Delaware will be from diseased trees of
very early varieties, such as Early Alexan-
ders, June, Early Beatrice, Early Louise,
Early Rivers, and Hale's Early. None of
those varieties of peaches are very desira-
ble and diseased fruit from them should
never be allowed TO be sold in the market.
Doubtless much of it will be who!esaled
for not more than rs cents per basket.

pality under the name of the City of Man.
