PROGRESSIVE SUGAR CULTURE ON THE
CHINO,

A gentleman who halls from Northern
California has just returned from visit
to the Chino country. He was much
impressed with the magnitude of the
operations now going on there. The ex-
tensive plantations of beets look very
well, and 100000 or 100000 worth of
expensive machinery from Germany is
just being put into place. All the indi-
cations are that great and remuner-
ative industry is now under way in San
Bernardino county-the Chino ranch is
Just across the border from Los Angeles
which will shortly spread to this
county. The region of country adapted
to the cultivation of the sugar beet in
this section is almost illimitable, but
fortunately the demand for sugar is also
almost without limit, and the American
producer has in the bounty a great in
centive to engaging in the business of
beet culture. Some time ago we gave
in the HERALD a statement of tran
saction on the Chino ranch which was
not consummated, but which is eloquent
as to the profits of the new culture. A
farmer purchased tract of ground from
Mr.. Gird on time, at stipulated price,
to be paid in installments. He culti-
waited his land very carefully, and sowed
his beet-sugar seed. His crop looked
so promising that he was offered deed
outright to his land for this years crop.
There are few farmers who can pay for
their land by the proceeds of one years
crop, and land that cannot be had for
less than one hundred dollars per acre,
at that. In the case referred to the
farmer refused the offer because he be-
lieved, and with reason, that he will
realize $100 an acre for his beets and
pocket the national bounty besides.
There is much in the statement of a
simple fact like this to enlist the atten-
tion of industrious farmers all over the
United States and the world. the sue
cess of the Chino factory-which seems
to be undoubted-will lead to that of
many similar experiments in Los Angeles
county. On the Laguna, the San vi
cente and score of other ranchos, the
beet will thrive quite as well as on the
Chino. The market is inexhaustible
and the profits are assured.

Slavin Celebrating His VictOry-Sulli-

Z NEW YORK, June 19.--Dick Roche,
the bookmaker, was to have met Frank
Slavin, the pugilist, in the Hoffman
house today to pay him the $500 due
him for defeating Kilrain last Tuesday
night. He did not SHOW up, but sent a
note saying the money would be paid to-
night or tomorrow morning. Slavin
was drunk, and threatened to go to
Sheepshead Bay and do up Roche, but
was quieted by Mitchell.
sULLIvAN's BACKER FAILS TO SHOW UP.
New YORK, June 19.-Jim Wakely
was to have met in a conference with
Slavin and Mitchell tonight to make ar
rangements for meeting between Sui
livan and Slavin, but he didn't show up,
so the case was left in this critical posi-
ton. The Australian is waiting to sail
for England tomorrow unless arrange
ments for great fight are made.
Slavin boxed three rounds with
Charley Mitchell at Neblo's tonight.
He made a speech in which he said 81
will postpone my trip to England if a
match can be made with Sullivan for

raise. 1 will meet him with or without
gloves, to demonstrate which is the
champion of the world. They would go
and see Sullivan in Australia, and he
would be received much better, in fact
like lion, if he can make a match to
fight me there"
sULLIvAN's CHALLENGE.
SAN JOSE, CAL, June 19.--John l..
Sullivan was seen this morning regard
ing the report that he had consented to
meet Slavin, but would enter into no
particulars, beyond stating that he had
telegraphed to his New York hackers to
match him with Slavin, and that he
would fight any man in the world after
his return from Australia in December.
Sullivan left on the 10 :22 train for Santa
Cruz.
$4,000 OFFER.
New ORLEANS, June 19.--The Olympic

THE KISS DIVINE.

There's the mothers kiss, we always miss.
fathers kiss that is seldom forgot,
The lovers kiss, that is perfect bliss,
And the Judas kiss-we like not
There's the sisterly kiss, of sisters love,
And the brotherly kiss, in distress
That kiss, seems to come from above
A kiss, that is truly blest--
There's the truculent kiss we so despise
And the succulent kiss-oh my;
The long drawn kiss, that courage tries
From that sort of kiss we fly.
There's the slobbering kiss-that's wet,
And the lubberly kiss, we don't want,
The sly, sweet, kiss, you have met,
And the sigh full kiss that doth haunt,
The wifely kiss, of affection pure,
A baby's kiss, we all love
Albeit they are martyrs to endure.
Such kissing we ought to reprove,
There's the cousinly kiss, that troubles bring,
HThe husbandly kiss-too seldom given:
hateful kiss, that carries a sting
A kiss to which many are driven.
But the kiss Of hisses the kiss, in fine
The only kiss, is the stolen kiss divine.

A short sweet snip-perchance twas slip.
laugh, and a dash, cry and a crash
A cliuched little hand, perhaps, n slash,
Yet age, nor distance, nor cline, 3a
Can efface the bliss, Of that Kiss divine.

Fairy Again Runs Second at
Sheepshead Bay.

Slavin Declares Himself-The
Baseball Record.

The starters for the American Derby
are to hand and for the first time in the
history of the race, except perhaps one,
no Los Angeles horse will 60 to the post.
This is great disappointment, as the
writer has had hopes for six months
that San Joaquin was good enough to
capture the race. He is bred to go the
Derby route, being by Longfellow. He
probably went amiss in the past days,
otherwise he would have not been
scratched. There are two representa-
tives in the race from the Golden state,
however, viz. SNOWFALL and Ludowlc.
x*x
Potomac has also been scratched. 1t
promises to be great race, neverthe-
less. Forerunner, Poet Scout, High
Tariff are not in the hunt. Shelve the
trio. There are several horses in the
race who have beaten Balgowan
a number of times this
year. The writer will therefore
dismiss Balgowan. This leaves Snow
ball, Kingman, Valera, Michael, Pes
sara, Strathmeath and Ludowic. A well
matched field to select a winner from.
Kingman, VALERA and Michael are the
crack OF the colts that have run this
year at Louisville, Nashville and Mem
phis. Kingman has shown to be the
best of the three, therefore we will drop
Michael and Valera, although the former
lie liable TO be dangerous factor in the
race. The east sends out Strathmeath,
Pessara and Snowball-a pretty formid-
able trio. The latter has won several
creditable races of late, but the company
appears to be little too good.
x*x
Strathmeath, next to Potomac, was
the best two-year-old of 1890. As two
year-old he outclassed any horse in the
race. But two-year-olds are often great
disappointments in their three-year old
form. Bolero is notable instance. Then
again Strathmeath has not been started
this year, which makes it still harder to
size up the son of Strathmore. How
ever, he is doubtless in good form, or
his owner would have hesitated to send
him on to Chicago.
**x
Pessara is liable to surprise the talent.
The writer was yesterday shown a pri-
vate letter from one of the boys con-
'Dected with California stable in the
east. He wrote: ''Pessary will win the
Derby"
The writer then took the trouble to
look up Pessara's record this season. 1t
fs gilt-edged, and only last week he beat
such good three-year-olds as Russell and
Reckon. Pessara is most decidedly in
the race. Ludowic is a slashing colt,
and ia bred to stay the route. If he goes
to the post fit l shall look upon him to
run a great race. He is much better
horse than many people suppose, but
has never had chance thus far. How
ever, as nothing is known at this writ
ing of his condition, l will dub him the
dangerous outsider.
~
The reader will see that it is no easy
task to pick the winner. l like King
man, Strathmeath and Pessara the best,
and shall tip them to finish in the fol
lowing order:
Strathmeath, first; Pessara, second ;
Kingman, third.
Kingman will doubtless be the favor
ite, but he will have to be sensational
colt to win with l29 pounds.

THAT bucolic wonder, Jerry Rusk, has
been talking lately in the corridor of a
New York hotel. He says that Blaine
does not want the Republican nomina-
ton for president and that Harrison is
sure to be the man. So much for the
head of the department of agriculture.
Per contra, it is said that only one mem
ber of the Republican national COM
mittee, Mr.. John G. New, is ia favor of
Harrison's denomination and that a
strong opposition to the president exists
in his own state. The Hoosiers seem to
be divided between Blaine and Gresham.

AMUSE

An appreeiative audience gave Miss
Emma Thursby spirited welcome last
evening at the Los Angeles theater.
The singer was in excellent voice and
won the admiration of her hearers.
She has clear, true voice, of not extra
ordinary compass, but perfectly schooled
and developed to the ability OF perform
ing the most difficult vocal gymnastics
apparently without effort. Her tones
are vibrant and expressive but lack that
subtle quality termed by the Italians
simpatico.
The tenor of the company is Mr..
Alfred Wilkie, well known here as for
merly of the Wyatt opera company.
He sang with great spirit and accuracy,
rendering the most difficult passages of
Mattei's Amo with accuracy and ease.
Miss Augustine Berger, the pianist,
has been resident of Los Angeles, and
is now, it is stated, living at San Diego.
She played Chopin's Fantaisie I'm
promptu with extraordinary skill, and
displayed thorough knowledge of the
technical features ofher art. The decis-
ion and grace of the movements of her
hands and fingers were pleasureably
notlceaDle.
Mr.. Max Lenzberg, whose, flute solo
opened the programme, is member of
the Los Angeles theatre orchestra. His
playing elected a general expression of
commentator.
1t is possible that Miss Thursby will
give another concert next week.

Moon saloon, at the corner of Third and
1 streets, and entrenched themselves IN
the second story, where they took STOCK
of their wounds.
There we're many eye-witnesses to the
affair, and the sentiment OF the citizens
was and is entirely with the sailors. The
officers have not been able to give de-
tailed report and everyone has his yer,
sion of the affair, but the one stated
above seems to be correct. The officers
estimate the number of sailors all the
way from fifteen to forty, but the testi-
mony OF dozen spectators goes to show
there were not to exceed ten. They had
secured weapons the best they could,
one having a piece of baseball bat and
q colored sailor with piece OF inch gas
pipe did effective execution, fought his
way out and escaped. In the heat OF the
conflict it is said that man driving an
oil wagon rode into the midst of the fray
and struck right and left with a heavy
whip whenever he could see a sailors
head. This man, it is claimed, is the
one that struck Givens and then drove
the wagon across his body. The con-
stables did not escape without rough
handling. w. w. Webb was knocked
down once or twice and kicked, while
nearly all the others carry marks of the
conflict. The sailors, after capturing
the officers weapons, made no effort to
use them, and it is said spectator
offered sailor six-shooter, but he re-
fused it, saying: eff / am not able to
hold my own with my fists, let 'em
take me-"
The story of the death OF one Of the
injured sailors and the subsequent de-
velopments has already been told.
