An Eastern Expert Compares the Outpu:
of Wines.
Alfred S. Osborn, editor of the Wine and
Spirit Circular of New York, is at the Lick,
having arrived lew days ago from the
East for the purpose of making a careful
examination into the wine industry of Cali
fornia.
THUS far" he said. yesterday. 81 have
visited only the wineries of Los Angeles
and Fresno, aud shall next week examine
those of Santa Clara. Sonoma and Napa
valleys. The output for the two counties
first named will be about 1000. 600 gallons
this year. The latest output Of the State l
estimate at about 3, 100000 gallons. l have
studied the industry for years, and am con-
WINGED that California has a great future.
Why? Simply because Europe cannot pro-
duce the wines needed for consumption,
and the surplus must come from the United
States. In 1889, for instance. France pro-
duced in round numbers 600, 200, 600 gallons
of wine. Tue consumption in that country
alone during that time was 1.100, 900 gal
Ions, or nearly double the output. The
500,000,00o gallons used in excess of the
home product was bought in Algiers, North
ern Spain and Italy. In former years, or
previous TO the inrOads Of the phyllOXera,
the wine produced kept almost on a par
with the amount consumed. but now, you
see, they are compelled to import heavily.
'On chamragneS alone we import an
nually about 100000 gallons from France,
and yet there are houses in Bordeaux
whose expectations in the aggregate reach
that figure alone.
my experience has been that the Cali
f0rnia wines are growing in favor in the
East, but the wine-makers of the State
must abandon their custom of giving
foreign names to their brands No sailing
under false colors should be encouraged.
Let US give our wines good American
names and place them before the world in
that light. 1t will pay and should be done
at once. In this country the industry is
yet in its infancy. In the entire territory
OF the United States but 100000 gallons
a year are produced, about half of which
comes from California. 1t is mere drop
in the bucket, as can readily be seen. and

Arrival of the GuestS-The Governors
Party-Grand March.
The guests began to arrive as early as
s:15 o'clock. A large crowd had gathered
around the main entrance to the Capitol.
and pushed and showed each other for a
glimpse of the handsomely -costumed
ladies as they alighted from their car
riages.
The rotunda and promenad1ng halls
We're warm and comfortable, and the
odor from the festoons and stands OF
flowers was fairly intoxicating.
Professor Sdgliaao's San Francisco or
chestra was stationed in the rotunda, just
above the Columbus statue, and upon the
appearance of the first couples struck up
dreamy airs and continued them, to the
delight of the promenaders, until the
grand march had begun.
BY 8 O'Clock the corridors presented an
exceedingly animated appearance. The
Governors party was late, and in conse-
quence the grand march was delayed.
Governor Markham party consisted of
himself, Mrs. Markham and four daugh-
ters, Marie, Alice, Gertrude and Gene
We've, Mr.. and Mrs. Gilchrist of Pasa-
dena and General and Mrs. Johnson of
Los Angeles. They were escorted to the
Capitol building by Joseph Steffens,
President of the Executive Committee
having charge of the ball.
Lieutenant-Governor Reddick was suf-
ficiently recovered from his recent illness
to be on hand, too, and was accompanied
by his wife.
Immediately after the ..arrival of the
Governor and party, however, the floor
committees set TO work forming the grand
march in the main room of the Library.
The spacious room had been beautifully
decorated, festoons of snlilax and flowers
circling the walls and potted plants placed
in the alcoves. This, with the aid of a
myriad of gas jets, made the scene an eX-
ceedingly inviting one. An immense
stand of tropical plants and ferns stood in
the center OF the room and emitted fra
GRANGE that was delightful.
THE GRAND MARCH.
It was 1880 o'clock when the signal for
the starting of the grand march was
given.
VIM. Beckman and wife led the march,
and were followed by f. S. Adams, B. b.

HOW THE STATE CAPITOL LOOKED.

The inaugural ball given at the Capitol
last night in honor of Governor Mark
ham and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Reddick,
was, beyond doubt, the most brilliant So
clal event ever witnessed in Sacramento,
and many assert that it far outshone any
thing of the kind in the history even of
San Francisco, which can legitimately
boast of being the social and financial
center of the coast. Many events of like
character have occurred here, but in point
OF elegance, rich costumery and charming
accessories none could compare with the
Markham Inaugural ball.
Sacramento does not claim all, nor
nearly all, the credit for its success. While
1t is true that her leading citizens entered
into the spirit of the affair with zeal and
determination to make it brilliant So
cial success, it is equally true that, with
out the aid and cooperation of citizens in
other parts of the State, they could not
have hoped for the grand result achieved.
The orange groves of the sunny south
and of the thermal belt of the north the
mining communities of the mountain
counties; the broad wheat fields of the
valleys, and the social, political and mer-
camille circles of the metropolis-all con-
tributed the best efforts of their most en-
terprising citizens toward making the
event one long to be remembered in the
annals of the State.
