The Littlehales' concert at the court
house tonight. The program is among
the best ever presented the music lovers
of Santa Fe.
1t is Collector Hughes now; the trans
fer was completed last night. Col Nc
Grorty will remain in the city few days
and then go to Deming, preparatory to
taking an eastern trip of two months
duration.
A good rain prior to the 4th is now all
that is required to place the federal park
track in excellent condition for the races.
For two days past heavy roller has been
prancing over the track and even now it
is in better shape than it was thought
possible to make it.
A citizen named Antonio Ortiz y Pa
checo has made so bold as to fence up
the public road out past Allan Butcher s
on the way to Canoncito, and he has
failed to remove it after due notice. He
will have hearing before Squire Mar
tinez on Saturday.
Subscribers are again asked to step in
as they pass Hon, Sol. spiegelberg's store
and pay the amount set opposite their
names. Last call this or collector may
have to be sent around, and that would be
inconyenient for the committee and an
noying to the intelligent subscriber. Get
move on and pay up.
The last number OF Harper's Weekly
contains number Of pictures from the
Hot springs and vicinity, drawn by Charles
Graham, an artist who recently visited
Las Vegas in the interest Of that paper.
Subsequent numbers OF the paper will
contain views from Santa Fe and other
points in the territory.
C. L. Bishop opened the Fulton mark
ct this morning and made toothsome
display OF home grown fruits, vegetables
and table deicacies. He also carries a
fresh stock of groceries put up in attrac-
tive form. The place is reprinted, and
is as convenient and inviting as it should
be to catch the tidy housewife on her
rounds at shopping.
Last nights rain was not what it should
have been in Santa Fe to meet the re-
quirements of vegetation, but toward the
northeast and northwest the storm was
apparently very heavy and of several
hours duration. In the Jemez noun
tains it came as blessing, completely
extinguishing the forest fires raging there
for two weeks past.
The case of Felsenthal vs.. Fletcher,
adjutant-general of New Mexico, to re-
cover possession of papers claimed by the
former as private property, and by the
latter as a portion OF the records OF the
territory occupied the attention of Justice
Martinez court to-day. The plaintiff is
represented by John A. Victory and the
defendent by Solicitor General Bartlett.
The papers claimed by Felsenthal were
produced in court, and the case will be
continued tomorrow with view Of prov
ing ownership.
The New MEXICAN extends its thanks
to the committee having the matter in
charge, for a very courteous invitation to
attend the ball to be given at the opera
house at Socorro on the evening of July 4.
The committee on invitations and man
agement consists of H. II. McChesney,
chairman, and nine other well known
citizens. The affair will doubtless be
success and the New MEXICAN regrets,
that the paper can not be represented at
the festive occasion.
Gov. Prince returned from Espanola by
last nights train, having steadily i'm
proved during his stay at his orchard,
which is near the narrow gauge track,
some two miles above Espanoa. He says
the crops in that section OF the Rio
Grande valley are looking finely. There
is water in abundance; a ditch siA feet in
width crosses the governors land and it
is constantly running full. While away
Gov. Prince paid visit to the Santa Cruz
valley and went as far as Chimayo. This
is a beautiful valley, several miles in
length and hemmed in by mountains. 1t
is thickly populated and every house is
surrounded by an orchard. lie was sur
prised to find such crops growing there,
peas, OF which he said there
must be fifty acres or more growing in the
vicinity OF Chimayo.
