this disease. The best expert who has
examined the vines states that 1t is not q
fungus that is destroying them. II it
is not. then the cause is q
dark mystery. Captain Keith says
the year it began, about the LIST OF De-
cember the heat ran as high as 100 de-
grees. The apples on the trees were
baked. The vines put out and grew
shoots foot long. Fruit trees budded
and bloomed while the crop was still
hanging on the branches. This warm
weather continued until into the spring,
and then came cold snap that sent all
the cap down in the vines and trees. Mr..
Keith thinks the vines suffered sort OF
paralysis or congestion from this change
and did not recover. Some died that
year, others were made sick, and lin
gered on dying slowly, but never getting
well. Keith thinks the Mission vines
suffered most and succumbed first be-
GAUGE they were the oldest, and had
been cropped the longest without being
fertilized.
There is good deal of apparent reason
in all this. Next year it may be expected
that the planting of new vineyards will
be begun in earnest. When this is done
it will be we'll to reflect whether 1t is not
best to plant the vines further apart, say
ten feet, so as to give them more nutri-
ton to cultivate them more and to irri-
gate them less, and to fertilize the soil
year after year. Captain Keith is the
bug inspector around Anaheim. He says
they never had any white scale in the
orange orchards there, but the red scale
has become very bad of late. So far as
his observation goes, there are no lace
flies or bugs making their prey of the red
scale. As there is no white scale, the
Australian bug has not been intro
duced there. Under The circumstances
the inspector thinks it is best to go on
with the spraying of the trees. He is
using the resin wash, known as the Mar
tin treatment, and he says it is eff
cacious. He had some leaves with him
which were covered with red scale. The
spray had been applied, and he had
killed every bug. 1t does not injure the
tree as the other washes did. 1t is Mr..
Keith's opinion that this spraying busi-
ness will kill every red scale in the
country. With the destruction of the
white scale by the vedolia cardinals, the
"doing-up" of the red scale by the resin
wash, and the disappearance of the vine
disease by natural limitation, the country
will soon be on the high road to larger
measure of prosperity.
AS to other matters at Anaheim, things
are moving along in the proper channels,
slowly, but surely. The Planters Hotel
has been painted inside and out and
thoroughly reftted. 1t looks very at
tractive. The Anaheim Hotel is also re-
painted and renovated. Mr.. Federman
is putting up a new brick building on
Center street, east of Los Angeles. Mrs.
Metz is preparing to put up building on
another corner of these streets. The
Bank of Anaheim is doing its usual bust.
ness, and under the guidance of Mr..
Plez James has the full confidence of thu
public. The Sisters School lot is now
fenced with a good iron fence, and the
school is said to be doing an excellent
work in Anaheim.

THE KNIGHTS DEPART.
A Party of About 500 Leaves for
Coronado.

Coronado.
The Knights Templar of the C9ur de
Lion Commandery started on their an
nual pilgrimage yesterday morning at 10
o'clock. A special train, consisting of ten
coaches, left the Santa Fe depot at that
hour. All the seats were filed, and it is
estimated that over five hundred people
were carried. The entire Commandery
was present, and most of the Knights
were accompanied by their ladies'.
The train was in charge of Conductor
Heartt, who is Knight himself, and
very popular railroader. Messrs. Dunn,
Parsons and Kyes, of the California Gen.
trail, were all on hand to see the company
get good start. City Clerk Teed, who
was chief of the Committee of Arrange
ments, was running around in ali direc-
tions, helping everyone to find pleasant
accommodations.
A large number of the men had dis
carded their fine linen and were wearing
flannel shirts. The ladies were dressed
plainly, and it was very evident that all
were going in for good time. The party
appeared to be very we'll acquainted all
around, and the scene bore lively re-
semblance to big family picnic.
Mayor and Mrs. Hazard and a number
of gentlemen connected with the city
government we're in the party, and sew
eral county officials. A list of those who
went would include large number Of
the most prominent citizens of Los An
geles and of the ladies best known in 30.
ciety.
The party will spend three days at the
Hotel Coronado and return on a special
train next Sunday.

DOWN THE BIG VALLEY.
How the Country Looks for Thirty
Miles Below the City.

Miles Below the City.
1t is now the ripe and mellow summer
time in all the rural districts. Most of
the crops have been not only harvested,
but garnered already, and large num-
ber of fruits have passed away for the
year. 1t is in many things the resting
time of the year in California for
vegetation, corresponding in this respect
to the winter in cold climates. To be
sure, there is no barren season here, for
alfalfa meadows are green all the year
round, and there is no day in the 365
when there are not some kinds of fruit
in the orchards and fresh vegetables in
the gardens.
The matter of paramount interest with
the people in the rural districts of Los
Angeles is the condition of the vineyards
and of the orange orchards. Both
have been suffering from some
sort of pests, and they are be-
ing closely watched by the farmers,
vineysrdists and orchardists. From
the city to Santa Ana, there is an ex-
cellent opportunity to observe the con-
inside the city limits and just beyond
thCt0 Oh aioLuCuH phiOOpj -
good many vineyards and orchards
which owing to the neglect they suffered
when they were subdivided into city
lots, do not look we'll. 1t is difficult to
recover them from what they suffered
then. Still many of these are looking
better at this time than they did year
ago, owing to the fact that they are
receiving better care. The vineyards
in the district referred to are mostly
old ones. The Nadeau vineyard is look
ing very we'll, all things considered.
The vines have been taken good care of
and they do not show any further
ravages from the vine disease. 1t looks
as if the trouble had run its full course
there. About Downey City and Norwalk
are many young vineyards, all OF which
look remarkably we'll. The leaves are
green and bright, with few streaks OF yell
low in them, and they are reported to be
blooming we'll. At Anaheim Mr.. Iheo.
Reiser had score OF Isabella Wines
growing around his porch. The disease
attacked them, and most of them died In
the past three years. Some half dozen
of them were spared, and they slook af
we'll as they have ever done since they
were planted dozen years ago. From 9
careful observation one is lead to con
clude that this blight to the vines hai
run its course, and will disappear.

haps, the best theory yet advanced tol

THE POLO GAME.
An Account of the Players and
Their Ponies.

The polo match which is to take place
on Saturday at Santa Monica bids tair to
excite great deal of enthusiasm and in
terest in the game. The ground at the
park has been we'll prepared, and the
ponies and players are in excellent con-
dition. 1t is to be hoped that large at
ten dance will be the result, in order TO
encourage game that is pure sport and
is peculiarly adapted to this State and
climate.
Cow ponies make excellent polo ponies
and Cali fornia has always been cele-
brated for all amusements in which the
horse plays a part. Polo affords ample
scope for display of horsemanship, as
we'll as dexterlty with the club.
On Saturday next each player will
have two ponies, which will ensure fast
and exciting game. The two eides, more
over, are very evenly matched.
Captain Bolton played for several years
in India, and is acknowledged to be the
most expert of all the players. With an
intimate knowledge of the game, he also
has several very severe strokes and hits
the ball hard and is very sure, never
missing an opportunity.
He is good Captain, always sees
where the ball is going and lie of material
help to the rest of his side.
He will play his we'll known buckskin
pony Buckeye" and another. ''Buck-
eye" is perhaps the fastest pony of them
all, but not very good starter.
Mr.. Proctor is also an old hand, hav-
ing played before in Iowa. He is most
determined player, always moving and
hits very hard; also very good Cap
tain, with his eyes open for all the
chances.
He will play "Rex," dark chestnut
pony, and another. "Rex" is the best
looking pony of the outfit, and is the
toughest of the tough.
Mr.. Machell is "rustler" of an ex-
treme type. The ball is what he sees
and what he goes for. His pony,
''Black Bess," is the best all-around polo
pony in the team-fast, tractable and
| fearless-the beau ideal of polo pony.
Mr.. r. P. Carter has very good
stroke and very cool head, and will be
of good service to his side on this ac-
count. He will play "Pepita, the Obese
and "Cafion." The latter, if he we're 8

game.
Mr.. Woodhouse, as a player, is second
to none. With an exceedingly sure
stroke, he also possesses determination
and quickness. His ponies are "Bundy'
and another. "Bundy" has always beer
considered one of the surest ponies.
| To DR.. Edmonds is due the credit o
having started polo in California; and
also Of having worked herd for it since
it's commencement. He has played il
in all parts of the world, and has had g
most adventurous career. He was
formerly superintendent of the Meadow
brook hunt on Long Island, and there il
nothing about horse that he does moi
know.
Mr.. Young is useful player and 6
hard worker, and will play on "Grey
back" and another.
| Mr.. Jim Parker is also hard-worker
with his heart in the game. 1t is no
known at present what ponies he viii
play; possibly "Curb" or "Spavin."
| Captain Tomkinson will be timekeepel
and will, no doubt, be an excellent one
as his genial manner and capability o.
coming up to time are we'll known.
Mr.. s. L. Waring will be referee.
