The exhibit of Mr.. G. B. Watkins. the
well-knawn and popular artist of San
Francisco in the northwest corner of the
gallery, still attracts the attention of visit
ors. From an artistic standpoint these
pictures merit the success which has at

ing orders for his beautiful workmanship,
The great struggle for supremacy between
the different sewing machines has been
furiously waged for years past. 1t may now
be said, however, that the cruel war is
over" for on all sides it is acknowledged
that the White is on Top. At the Cincin-
natl Centennial in 1888 the only premium
given was awarded TO the White, on the
specification of simplicity of construc-
ton, durability of parts, adaptability of
adjustment, light and quick running

AT THE PARK.
Among the notable horses now at the
track might be mentioned the beautiful
gray stallion Berlin, belonging to II. S.
Beals. This noble animal is now in his
seventeenth year, but handles himself with
as much ease and grace as sny four-y ear
old colt, and is yet quite speedy. As sire
of fast trotters be certainly ranks high. be.
ing the father of Thapsin, 2:214; Kate Ew-
ing, 2:21. as a fGur-year-old; Pansey, 2241;
Dennis Ryan, 2:20 and Berlinda, now in
the East, who has record of 2:lS Mr..
Beals also owes three colts, one and two
years old, which are very pretty and give
evidence CT great future speed. There is
also, in stall just adjoining those of Mr..
Beals a one year old filly, which in point
of beauty and symmetry is very
hard to beat. The filly in ques.
ton belongs to Thomas Perkins,
and is by Berlin, dam Leinster, aud has
already shown great speed as yearling,
and it is safe to say that unless she goes
amiss very few if any Of the crack two-year-
olds next season will be able to show her
the way into the stretch The yearling and
two-year-old colts owned By Mr.. Baals are
also by Berlin, who, by the way, is standard
breed, while their dam is Emma Skaggs,
she by Norfolk; thus it will be seen that
there is no reason why these youngsters
should not become recorG-smsshers and
show their heels to any company that they
NAV start iu some time hereafter.
While viewing the thoroughbred animals
at the Park special attention is at once dl-
rected 10 Brown Jennie and her family.
This beautiful brown mare is now l6 years
old, but despite her age looks as pretty as a
picture, in fact still retains every mark
that denotes the fine strains of
standard breeding. Brown Jennie is the
dam OF the famous Ned Wiuslow. who, as
a five-year-old, paced s mile in 2:174; also,
of the kind and beautiful animal Mary
Low, who has record of 2:224 and Shy
lock Benton. who, as a four year-old,
trotted a mile in 2:30 The animals in
question are owned by J. L. McCord, aud
were bred and raised on his beautiful
Sunny Knoll Stock Farm on the Cosum-
nes river. eighteen miles from Sacramento,
where he also has several more very prom
ising colts. These colts were all sired By
the celebrated stallion Tom Benton, whose
get has never yet failed to let the balance
of the company know they were in it. Mr..
McCord has also sold off some of the foals
of Brown Jennie, and in every instance they
gave very good account of themselves,
and if some of the youngsters now at his
farm do not surprise the talent at some
future day, then appearance and breeding
all go for nothing, and is not any longer
safe TO predicate upon.
