peal for the Poor.
The appeal made in behalf of the chill
dren of the poor of the city was not made
in vain. The result shows that the good
people of this city are as liberal and kind
hearted as in the days of the Sanitary Com
mission and of the Johnstown disaster,
when they gave freely of their means to re-
lieve their fellow-creatures from want and
suffering.
Up to noon Yesterday several persons
had called on Treasurer Abbott of the
Howard Association and left small sums
aggregating several dollars, to be used in
purchasing toys aud delicacies for the lit
tie ones whose parents are too poor to be-
stow Christmas presents upon them.
Among those that called were quite num-

Richard Dale. President of the Howard
Association, informed the RECORD UNION
last night that large number of ladies
and gentlemen had called al the Towards
headquarters during the day and left vsri-
Gus sums of money and quantities of TOYS
for the destitute little ones.
A gentleman, who departed for the East
last night, left five dollars in coin, and
others left like sums, the highest being ten
dollars. This was by lady who did not
wish her name made public. Other callers
brought nuts, candies, cakes, etc.
Mr. Dale said he would commence the
distribution of the donations at IL o'clock
to-day. Those who have not as yet con-
tributed TO the good work should do SO as
early as possible, but even if late in the
day anything will be acceptable that can
add to the comfort or pleasure of the poor.

Unusual Magnitude of the Holiday Trade
The Heavy Shipments.
The day before yesterday nine wagons
were required to deliver and gather the
packages received and forwarded through
Wells, Fargo q Co., and they had all they
could do at that. Yesterday the rush had
so increased that Superintendent Tracy
was forced to put on two additional
wagons, and to-day two more will be added,
making thirteen engaged in handling hoii-
day goods and presents.
Every man about the institution has
been kept ION the jump" dav and evening
during the past week, despite the extra
help employed.
1t is ssfe to say that no such rush at
Christmas time was ever before known in
the history of this city. The stores have
been crowded night and day By purchasers
of holiday articles. and all the merchants
appear to be doing rushing business.

President of the Board of Ira
The Hop Market In England.

William Noskes, Son & Collard, hop
factors in London, write to the RECORD
UNION as follows concerning the present
condition of the hop market, under date OF
December S!h:
There seems to be a general stagnation
on our market, the effsc. of which is de.
cline of 101 in medium hops, and more in
the best sorts. The best Californians can
be bought now for s10 to $40 los. and
lower grades at under SO Middle and
East Kents are offering at from go to so,
and Wealds and Sussex Ct to 60.
There seems, however, to be a good
prospect of improved trade after Christmas,
as so many of our brewers are persistently
holding off till then before replenishing
their stocks.
I'VE think, therefore, that the new year
is likely to open briskly, at perhaps i'm

Yesterday morning some young thieves
stole well trained and valuable setter dog
from in front of a residence on III street.
They took him over to the northeastern
part of the city and tried to sell him for
twenty. five cents. The gentleman to
whom they offered the dog, however, rec

his home. The owner of the dog would be
greatly obliged if that gentleman will send
his name to this office, as he desires not
only to acknowledge the service rendered,
but also to ascertain who the boys were

THE CITRUS FAIR.

pie Send Exhibits Thereto.
EDS. RECORD UNION: At the present time
a great deal of attention is being turned to
this country, and especially this part of the
State, throughout the East on account of
the wide celebrity which our shipments of
fruit have gained during the last few years
and especially during the past season.
There is vast tide of immigration on the
other side of the mountains ready to pour
in upon us when once the people are prop
erly informed regarding our resources.
Sacramento county is especially well
situated as fruit shipping center, and has
been found to be especially well adapted to
the growing of all kinds of fruits-oranges
and lemons, as well as tie deciduous va
rieties.
The object of this communication is to
call the attention of the fruit.growers of
Sacramento county to the importance of
making an exhibit of their products. so far
as it is now practicable. at the Citrus Fair
to be held at Marysville in January.
From personal experience, can say that
no better means can be devised to advertise
the resources of the country than these Cit
rus Fairs afford.
Many of The orange trees in Sacramento
county are still fairly laden with golden
fruit, and very creditable display could be
made; although much better one could
have been secured earlier ID the season. A
large part OF the crop has been sold and
shipped out of the country, but still enough
remain on the trees to show what can be
done.
Some of our growers at Florin have made
speciality of lemon culture, and they
should show the people who will gather at
Marysville rext month what can be done
in that line
At Orangevale some extraordinary
growths have been made in orange trees
during the last two years, the land being
apparently, especially adssnted thereto. II
some OF these tees could be taken up and
exhibited it would open the eyes of our
Eastern friends. In Sacramento city some
very fine oranges could be exhibited, while
our japanese persimmons are the wonder
of all who behold them.
By all means let our citizens who have
exhibits which they can make correspond
direct with the Secretary of the Msrysville
Citrus Fair, and secure space while it can
be furnished, and let us see that Sacra-
mento comfy is properly represented
P. E. PLATT,
President of the Board of Trade.
