The Los Angeles Express says;
The entertainment given hy Fowler's
Tableaux dart and Concert Company
last evening at Hazards Pavilion merited
the large audience, and the program was
well carried out.
The tableaux, given by seven young
ladies in graceful Greek robes, were ex-
ceedingly beautiful, representing scenes
from Evangeline, Pocahontas and Shake
speare's PLAYS. The tableaux, "Assassi-
nation Of julius Caesar, was particularly
fine, as well as the scene, "Study OF
Michael Angelo" the bright white light
OF the calcium bringing out the figures
in striking relief against the black back
ground, and making them appear like
marble statues. The Delsarte move
ments were well represented, with slow
grace and precision, bringing every mus
Gle into play by the simplest and most
natural efforts, and formed a series OF
pleasing pictures.
A HosR TEsr. THE following hose test
recently made in San Francisco win be OF
general interest as showing the great
power lost by long hose 'In the first
test 100 feet Of hose were used, which
threw n stream distance OF 2O6 feet, and
showed a pressure OF 90 pounds at the
nozzle. In the second test 200 feet OF hose
were used, and stream Of water was
thrown a distance Of ia feet at first trial,
and at the second, after some washers
had been put on the hose 10 stop leakage,
1872 feet, and showed pressure az the
nozzle OF 90 pounds. In the third test
400 feet Of hose were used and the stream
was thrown l4s feet, showing n pressure
Of 30 pounds at the nozzle. In the fourth
test 600 feet Of hose were used, and the
stream was thrown 100 feet, with 30
pounds pressure at the nozzle. In the
fifth test 800 feet Of hose were used, a
stream was thrown IS feet, with pressure
at the nozzle of 10 pounds. In the sixth
test, with 1000 feet Of hose, stream was
thrown distance OF "a feet, showing n
pressure OF pounds at the nozzle. This
last test showed that when the nozzle
was turned straight up, the stream would
barely reach the top OF the second-frame
buildings in the neighborhood, and that
there was scarcely any pressure at all.
A seventh test was added, in which only
100 feet Of hose were used, in order 10
prove the first test made at the same dis
lance. The result showed they were
substantially alike"
A SUa0EsTIvR ITEN FOR LNS.-SOme
persons have ignorantly or maliciously
given small circulation to the report that
Polk county has not agaeed TO pay her
share Of the big steel bridge, One-third,
$4,000. At first the Polk county court
did contend that that county should only
pay one-third Of the excess over $40, 900,
which would have left deficiency Of
nearly 5000; but afterwards the Polk
county court agreed to stand $4,000 OF
the cost. Mhrion county pays the same
sum, the citd has voted bonds for like
amount. Tfis provides $1,000, which,
with the ma9erial Of the old bridge, will
pay the cot Of the new 81 900 steel
ktructure, e,-sratesman.
