Huron gentlemen have forwarded TO Congress

of leather medal six inches in diameter, on
which is the following inscription in gold let

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Our Hop Market.

a large number of the citizens of Sac
ramento county are interested in the hop
market, this county being the largest pro-
Queer in the Slate. A communication
from Emmett Wells, of New York. under
date of March 1st. saws:
The market is very firm and This is
about all that can be said in favor this
week There has been nothing in cur
cable or mail advices within week or ten
days past to give encouragement for an
early boom. Our London correspondent
gives very true and concise view Of the
situation in that market when be states
that no great advance can be safely antici-
pated in the face of considerable quantity
OF sound old hops yet unconsumed' This,
IN our opinion, sums up the case in nut
shell, for while brewers have plenty of
good old stock to fall back upon, they are
not likely to worry much over the reported
shortage Of new hops. The same remark
viii apply TO certain extent to our home
brewers, many of whom are carrying lib
eral supply of olds. and they, too, natur-
ally appear indifferent to any and
all reports of short stocks of
new. Those brewers, however, who cannot
use Literally of olds, and are obliged to use
new, we would advise to lay in without
further delay what they may require to
carry them through, for there is no disput-
ing the fact that the supply Of 1883 hops
remaining unsold in this State is lower
than ever before ct this period Of the year,
and an extra call for them from England
would surely send the price up. In proof
OF this scarcity we have only 10 refer cur
readers 10 the extracts copied herein from
our exchanges. We are inclined TO doubt
the correctness OF one of our exchanges.
which, on the first of the current month
asserted that there remained only 4,5e0
bales of 1855 in the hands of growers in
this State, but la.er advices seem to confirm
this report. Even if facts later on prove it
to be double this amount, there would yet
be great shortage. 1t would seem that
the present would be very desirable time
for anybody specula,iyely inclined, and
having the money 10 invest, to step in and
corner the crop in this State; $780, 600 or
less would do the business; or if five of
our large brewers would go in and buy a
thousand bales each at, say $40 bale, they
couid corner them. Bees are still pending
here that we shall see 80 cents pound on
or before March 10th, and that, too, with

The American Flag.

When the first shot was fred upon
Sumter there was many a man in the
mines who Immediately put himself upon
record as a defender of the flag of the
Union. Among those was Dan. Jerrett
of Georgetown, then a men Ger of the
Board of Supervisors. He was a leading
spirit in those days, and age does not seem
to in the least ahate his patriotic ardor.
The following letter to business man OF
this city will attest TO the fact that he is as
loyal to the flag to-day as he was 2S years
ago:

Mendelssohn oulntet club Concsrt.

The Mendelssohn Quintet Club, of
Boston, had large audience at the Metro
politan Theater last night. A programme
of excellence was presented under the di-
rection of Thomas Ryan, the founder of
the club, which is now in its fortieth sea-
son. Anton Hekking is unquestionably
the foremost Of the combination in musical
ability as an instrumentalist. He is
master of the violoncello. His style is
both sympathetic and strong. He plays as
if his sole endeavor was to reach every
heart and fill it with the purpose and spirit
Of the theme. Instrumental difficulties are
apparently as nothing to him, his execution
being marked by the most perfect COM
posure while disposing of the most diff
cult passages. There is a poetic delicacy
and iimpid quality that is Understandable
in his playing. His stopping is not only
true, but delicate in phenomenal degree,
and about all his Instrumentation there is
a breadth and repose that has not been
equa Jed. 1t is seldom that an audience is
wrous ut up 10 such a pitch of musical en-
thusasm as Hekking carried his to last
night Ohliger is violinist OF fine quality,
and shared the honors of the evening with
Hekk king, but not to the exclusion of the
latter from first place. Ofliger's playing is

tional word free" in its dash and fine
spirit OF ron-restraint. Ryan was excellent
in his clariopette solo, proving that age has
not dul;ed his spirit or lessened the delicacy
or warmth of bis execution. Miss Ryan is

term is allowable. Adler, yiolinist, and
Schiachter. on the viola, were heard only
in the orchestration of the quintet, which
was of high order. The company is a
well-balanced body of musicians, whose
tone is full, round, free. with execution in

men,s which the highly skilled and nat

THE CALIFORNIA LEAGUE.
Active Preparations Going on Among III,

Different Clubs.
Two weeks from next Sunday the base
ball season will open with game in this
! city and in San Francisco. The Oaklands
and Sacramentos will play here and the
San Franchises and Stocktons will inaug-
urate the season at the Bay. Everyone OF
the clubs is now complete and the open
ing game will find all in readiness. judy
ing from the material with which the diff
ferent mines are composed, the California
people will doubtless witness such fine

ayers.
The California League has established an
Office in San Francisco at $50 Market street,
and II. Harris will act as Secretary. This
is the first office ever established for any
League in the State. The complete record
OF every club and every player in the four
clubs will be kept, and each official scorer
will forward to the Secretary his score of
the game within "a hours after it is played.
Heretofore the different newspapers used
70 keep, or try TO keep the records, but in
nine cases out of ten there were errors, and
each ones account vas different.
The stockton people are almost wild
over their club, and feel as if they had the
pennant won already. They have twelve
men in all, having done away with man
ager in order TO employ an extra player.
They expect a walk-over, but the Sacra-
mentos are just aching to give them rub
and show them how baseball is played at
the Capitol City.
Robinson, the manager of the Oakland
club, figures on all his victories in Saa
Francisco and Stockton. He says Sacra-
mento is "hoodoo' town for his club.
He only won two games in two seasons in
this city, and he thinks it quite strange.
The Sacramento boys will all be here
during the early part of next week, and go
Immediately into practice. Manager ellis
says he will have better second and third
basemen than either Alvord or Quest, and
that in the battery and base-running line
his club will take the palm. Graves, the
change catcher, will be here on Tuesday
next, and Khremier, Curtis and Valentine
have already left St. Louis and will arrive
here shortly. The former can work be-
hind the bat as well as the best of them,
and Curtis is a veteran on the base. Valen-
tine is also fine player and the three are
valuable acquisitions.
The Park will undergo some repairs be-
fore the opening game. The reporters
stand will be raised and enlarged, and a
new scoring board will be put up. The re-
suit OF the games at different stages at
Stockton and San Francisco will be iele-
graphed during the progress of the game
here, and the audience will thereby be kept
informed
1t is expected that large delegations will
come over from Woodland, Auburn, Marys-
vile and other surrounding towns to wit
ness the games, and if the number war
rants excursion rates on the trains will no
doubt be made by the railroad company.
