IT WAS ENTIRELY SUCCESSFUL.
The Fair Given by the Potomac Boat
Club.

Last night was the closing one of the fair
of the Potomac Boat Club at the National
Rifles Armory, and one of the largest
crowds Of the season was present. They
came well supplied with money, and the
booths and stands were so well patronized
that when the time came to auction off
the articles there were not many left. All
the goods were Sold and fine prices were
received.
Notwithstanding the counter-attractions
and the turbulent opposition of the
weather, the fair was success both So
Cially and financially. The net receipts
are estimated at between 81, 500 and So 600.

California Raisins to London.

| In response to cable order George NJ
Meade & Co. ts day shipped threecar- loads
| of raisins to London, via New York. The
| importance of this fact to Californians may
be appreciated, when it is stated that this is
the first shipment of California raisins to
London. the market of that part of the
world having always been supplied by the
raisn~grewers of the Mediterranean prov
inces. The rsisins shipped are equal tothe

order came from Fresno vineyards, this
shipment marks an important epoch in the
history Of Fresno county. the farreachipg
effects of which cannot be calculated.
Mr.. Meade states that this competition is
made possible by the use of intelligent la
Dor and labor-saying machines. The
European lsborer possesses no originality
or inventive faculties. while his American
ce-laborer will do twice the work he can
perform, and do il more Understandings.

FRUITS, VEGETABLES, OIL.

For the fiscal year 1878, ending June
S0th, Bordeaux, France, exported to the
United States 1876, 165 25 value of fruits
and vegetables. This from single dis
trict may convey some idea of what would
be the Importation should the drift and
tendency of the Democratic party attain
its ultimate, and what would be the effect
upon home production without tariff inter
vention. The same district sent to us in
that one year 81, 13l ,024 04 of wines, ST.
069 II Of vinegar, and S476,567 As of
prunes. Olive oil now pays a duty reve-
une of S163,64S II. Bordeaux sent to US,
according to Consul Roosevelt, in the period
named, S176,365 L worth of olive oil. Mr..
Mills bill puts olive ell upon the free list.
All the imported olive oil in the period in
Dictated paid us duty of $163,64S II.
Now then, if the oil is free-listed, it will
simply blot out the rapidly growing olive
culture of California. Though we make
now as fine strain of the oil as any for
eign country, we do not make enough bet
ter to shut out the foreign product by COM
petition alone. The Senate bill protects
olive oil for its greatest uses but puts it
upon the free list for manufacturing and
mechanical purposes only, the object being
to conserve manufacturing, which will in
crease the consumption of the home arti-
Gle for domestic purposes. When the time
comes that we produce sufficient for both
uses, the home competition will then be
sufficient to justify putting up, probably, a
protective rate upon the import for all
purposes.
Why does the Mills bill absolutely free
list olive oil ? because, responds its Demo-
cratic supporter, it is not fair to "tax" the
East to aid a California industry. The
Republican there joins issue with him,
and replies that the logic of'that argument
brings up in absolute free trade.

THEY DISAGREE.

in dete ak Of his Hill, delivered July 2lst,
Mr., Nils dse}sred that the duty upon lin
deeS asos distggh anyhody-that is, it is
not GaeroeS. Set he puts tin upon the
free list because the duty is ''piling up
too mach meney in the treasury" AT the
SAME time we are paving enormous sums
for interest upon the public debt, which
might be greatly reduced by obeying the
Law providing therefor and making proper
application of the surplus. So We might
follow on down the list, but it is not neces-
sary to do so. The Epoch declares with
vekemence that no free-trade party with
tangible strength is to be found in this
country, and that every sensible man
favers protecting existing industries. 1t
is not the immediate in the Mills bill to
which the objection is raised, so much as
: the drift The bill, in freeing certain
articles, kills the home industry In them,
and beyond that its tendency is
toward that condition that will
strike down the manufacturing indus
tries of the North, and by thus
lorippling that section to the profit Of
European manufactures, adTancethe power

it once enjoyed. The Epoch differs in its

Major @. b. Hubbard, a member of the
staff of the Oommander-inC Chief Of the
Grand Army of the Republic, and delegate
from California to the National Encamp-
ment of the Grand Army which recently
convened at Columbus, O., returned yester-
day morning. Mr.. Hubbard in speaking
of the trip East and his visit to the en-
campment, said it was one of the most en-
ioyable affairs he had ever participated in.
Our train" said he, had twenty-five cars
when we entered the city of Columbus.
Upon our arrival the California delegation
was escorted to the State House, where
headquarters had been provided" Mr..
Hubbard said they were not permitted to
remain there long, before Captain Mathews,
prominent resident of the city, captured
the delegation and marched it to his hand
some residence, where they remained until
the close of the encampment. The Com
mittee of Arrangements and the citizens
seemed 10 think they could not do enough
for the C2lifornians. band was detailed
for their special use. He said: The parade
was grand sight. There were over sixty
five thousand men in line, composed of
seventeen divisions. The Ohio Grand
Army men alone numbered forty.five thou

minutes passing given point. marching
ten abreasC. The visiting encampments
were one hour and thirty minutes
passing the reviewing stand. The
Veteran Guard from California pre-
scented the finest appearance Of any body
of men in line. Their handsome uniforms
we're very attractive, and their soldierly
bearing and excellent marching was greeted
| with cheers all along the line" Mr.. Hub
bard said there we're two camps, both COW
ering twenty-five acres, laid out after army
style. The quarters provided were suffi
Gent for the accommodation of thirty
thousand men. There was no extortion on
the part of the hotels, or other public
places, and good meal could be bad for
twenty-five cents. During our stay in
Columbus, we made an official visit to
Governor Foraker and wife. Here we
| were received by General Alger and wife,
Mrs. John A. Logan, and Colonel Fred
Grant and wife. We also paid our respects
to General Sherman, who gave us hearty
welcome, and said he always kept warm
corner in his heart for Californians."
Our fruit display" said Mr.. Hubbard,
was grand thing. The people fairly
went wild over it," He said that "a box
of fruit would no sooner be opened, than
the crowd would make rush for it, and
carry it all away" In conclusion, Mr.
Hubbard said the California delegation
had accomplished good work for this
section of the State, by interesting thousands
of people in few of the many resources of
Central and Northern California"

THE WAR UPON THE SCALE

The REcoRD-UNIoN presents this morn
ing an exhaustive illustrated article upon
the pest that is Just now threatening the
foliage and fruit trees of Saoramento-the
cottony cushion scale. The preservation
of these trees depends upon the vigilance
and the prompt action of our people. Ii has
been well said by our contemporary, the
Cftfograph, that the scale is not SO difficult
to keep out, but it is task of greatest ex-
ertien to get it out when it once effects an
entrance. One of the cuts in the article
referred to gives very correct idea of the
appearance of the scale upon the tree, and
will enable any one to readily identify it..
There must be no hesitancy in applying
remedies for the pest-what is to be done
must be done now and with such vigor as
to stop the march of the pest, and to Grad
icate it from the sections where the trees
and shrubs, are already assailed. There is
reason 20 hope that nature will furnish a
specific if aided by the art of man-that
some victor oyer the scale Will appear as
has SO often been proven is the case with
pest assaults. Indeed it is thought that
the natural enemy of the scale has already
put in an appearance, but this is not pos
itively deter1lined. One thing is definitely
ascertained, that artificial remedies must
be applied, and that too without any
further procrsstination. If we pat off
eradication-even to the total destruction
of the affected trees if need be-we will
presently find the evil hss passed beyond
the stage of control, and then the entire
foliage and fruit-tree growth in the city,
together with ous shrubbery, will be
DESTROYED.
