The Art Gallery.

Saturday and yesterday great crowds of
people visited the E. B. Crocker Art Gallery.
Among them were the artists Norton Bush,
Edward Deakin, Chris Jorgensen, f. Har-
persberger, the sculptor, and several others.
The latter was especially warm in his praise
of the statuary contributed last week by
D. Lubin, and pronounces the America"
as work of high merit. Mr.. Deakin,
who has but recently returned from his
second European trip, was warm in his
commendation of the Art Gallery. He
says he doubts if in the Louvre the doors
are finer than in this gallery. Of the paint
ings Mr.. Deakin gives frank and critical
opinion, commencing most in comparison
with similar works abroad, and finding
others below good standard, but as a
whole thinks the city possessed of a great
treasure in such property. The artists
agree that the School of Design is situated
in rooms not surpassed, if equalled, by
any.

ing evidence. The motion was granted.

Prospects of Fine Time In the Wind
mill City.
The fair which opens in Stockton TO-
morrow promises to be great event. Most
of the horses and cattle that have been on
exhibition at the State Fair here have gone
to Stockton, as well as many of the exhib-
its that were at the Pavilion. Arrange
ments have been made with Norton Bush
to take to the fair twenty-five of the pic
lures that were in the art gallery, including
'The Luck of Roaring Camp" For the
speed portion of the programme $4,000 is
set apart, and the entries which have been
made for the various events are very large
and comprise some of our best racing and
trotting stock. The sport will be opened
with running race, after which the trot-
ting will go on, and on Thursday and
Saturday, the Goth and 22d, there will be q
pacing race as well. The attendance from
Sacramento will no doubt be large.

Stray Notes.

There was grand rush for the afternoon
train for San Francisco on Saturday. The
San Francisco contingent took its departure
in body.
A large number of race horsemen and
exhibitors of live stock left on the trains
for Stockton and Reno yesterday.
The street car accommodations were bet
ter than at any previous fair, the K street
cars running through to Agricultural Park.
What Mr.. Carey should now do is to put
four cars on K streeJ-have two run to
Twentieth and o and the other two to Twen-
tieta and II. This would accommodate all
who wish to take cars on Twentieth street,
and would give additional accommodation
to the terminus Of the and H street lines.
Straw hats and linen busters, so desir-
able and fashionable during the first of the
fair, gave way TO gum boots, overcoats and
umbrellas Saturday

Ed. Younger Robbed.

Ed. Younger, OF San Jose, son of Cole
man Younger, the well known breeder of
fine cattle, has been stopping for some days
in tent at the Park, watching over the
fine herd of Durhams which they have
had on exhibition during the State Fair.
When he retired Saturday night he had in
his pockets S240 in coin and a gold $500
Joergerson watch and chain He awoke in
the morning TO find that both coin and
watch had disappeared. Subsequently he
swore to complaint charging John Costa
and John O'Neill, whose real names he did
not know, with the theft. Several parties
were arrested here on suspicion. 1t was
learned last night that two men were ar
rested in Oakland yesterday, on one of
whom the watch and $3.50 was found. The
other managed to escape.

ard was deposed and A. ]. Freese, brother
Of one OF the Trustees. was elected to the
position. Some days ago the Trustees re-
ceived letter from Freese rendering his

A Sheriff, sonininn.

Sheriff Thomas Cunningham, OF San
Joaquin county, was in the city on Satur-
day. One purpose Of his visit was to notify
the gambling fraternity now in the city that
it would be useless for them to visit Stock
ton this week during the District Fair to be
held there. He said that ne wished them
to go to no expense in transporting their
traps to Stockton, where they would not be
allowed to open their games. Mr.. Gun
ningham expressed the opinion that Sacra-
mento made mistake in permitting gam
ing to go on as it did here; that aside from
1t being violation OF law, the city gained
nothing by it in reality, but in the long run

Deak,n,s Art Sale.

Edward Deakin's art sale takes place at
Bell & Co.'S, K street, between Ninth and
Tenth. at and P. N. to-day. 1t will en-
brace his exhibit of pictures in the State
Fair Mr.. Deakin says of them, that he
has painted nothing better; that they are
all labors of love, and that he never painted
otherwise. Some of the eanyases have
two and three pictures on them, he having,
when not satisfied, psinted one picture over
another, showing the conscientious charac-
ter of the work Deakin won his place in
the Paris salon of 1878, and again in 1879.
when Is 900 pictures entered and but 300
were accepted. He entered two canvases
and, what is unusual, both were put upon
the wall. Deakin's will be the first genuine
art sale held here for long time, most of
previous sales for some time having been
of pot boilers and mediocre character.

Missouri Crop-W Gather Bulletin.
The following report for the
week has just been received from
the Missouri weather service by j.
F. Llewellyn, local signal observer:
Rainfall above the average re-
ported from thirty-two counties,
while six counties, including Au-
drain, reported an average rainfall.
The temperature in all the coun-
ties except those in the southeast
was below the seasons average.
There was little sunshine during
the week.
The abundant rains had a favor
able effect upon all crops, especial
ly in South Missouri. Nearly all
growing crops are doing well. In
the southwest and southeast winter
wheat is almost a complete failure
on account of dry weather, the
chinch bugs and other destructive
insects. In other sections wheat
has improved. Garden vegetables
were injured by frost but fruit is
generally reported as looking well
and unhurt.
The cold, damp weather has
greatly checked the ravages OF
chinch bugs and other insects.
They r still doing much damage
however, in the southern part ofthe
State.

Wool.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
MEXICO, No., May 21.-Trade IN
wool is exceedingly slow and I'M
satisfactory this week and prices
are drooing. One after another
the worsted mills are stopping be-
cause they r unable to make
goods at the low level of values es-
tablished by competing foreign
mills, whose products are flooding
the American market. AS the
makers of these fabrics are the
principal consumers of well grown
woods raised east of the Missouri
river, their withdrawal from the
market is a serious blow to the
wool trade.
The tariff uncertainty continues
to disturb the market. While il
shall last dealers will not know
whether to make their calculations
for new clip investment on a basis
of ''free wool'' or a continuance of
present duties. In the latter event,
however, the situation will be I'M
improved, unless Congress shall
assent to an equalization of the du-
ties on WOODEN and worsted goods.
This act of justice to a depressed
industry is at present contingent
upon the passage of the Mills tariff
bill, and il. hat measure should
fail OF final passage, it is by no
means certain that the dominant
party will consent to remove the
disabilities of the worsted trade in
a separate enactment.
