There has been certain monotony about
baseball for month past because the Giants
have been continuously at the head of the list
"a position they have held ever since they de-
feated the Chicagos at the Polo Grounds on
June ~ Chicago got even yesterday, and
more than even, for it wrested the lead from
New-York. The Giants loss of first place was
not needed to lend interest to the National
came. but it is needless to say that the con-
tests for few days to come will command more
than ordinary interest.

Commissioner Gilroy has been forced to adopt
extreme measures VIII the NewYOrk Steam
Company, and apparently is justified in doing
80. The company has been insolent and law
defying. Yesterday the discovery was made
that it had opened Barcay-st in two places ;
and when a protest against this action was met
with scorn and contempt Mr.. GilrOy lost his
patience and revoked all permits issued to the
company. The police have been ordered to
prevent it from doing any work in the streets.
A fair issue is thus made 1t will be good
thing to have the battle fought out and to
know positively whether the Steam Company
Is bigger than the city of New-YOrk.

The Battery Park mass-meeting last evening
was respectable and fairly representative OF
the people most keenly interested in preserving
fhis pleasure ground intact OF course, the
whole city is concerned in the preservation of
the park but the meeting was designed to voice
the sentiment Of people residing in the lower
mart of the island. As such it was success
The speeches as rule were to the point and
were well received The practical upcome Of
the meeting was the appointment of COM
mittee to urge the Park Commissioners to re-
yoke the permit by which the elevated railway
occupies a portion Of the Battery, and to secure
the prompt removal of the structure.

THE TERMINAL ROAD.
The Organization and Purport of the
Company.

The Los Angeles and Terminal rail
way company has acquired the Pasadena
and Glendale road, and proposes to ex-
tend it to San Pedro, where it has pur-
chased Rattlesnake island, giving it the
whole east side of the harbor. The
company is now engaged in building two
miles of levee on the east side of the Los
Angeles river, by which means it gains
right of way through the city.
The articles of incorporation show
that the company was organized with a
capital stock Of 100000. The direct
ors are B. F. Hobart and R. G. Kerens,
of St. Louis, Mo-, and Dan Mcfarland,
w. H. Workman and T. B. Burnett, Of
this city. The papers announce the
formal consolidation of the Glendale
and Pasadena, and the Los Angeles,
Pasadena and Glendale companies.
The stock is divided into 80 900 shares
at 800 per share. The main line, when
completed, will be from the bay OF San
Pedro through Los Angeles, thence
through the San Fernando valley to q
point on the Pacific ocean near Huen-
enc, Ventura county. Several branches
will also be built from the main line to
important sections not now touched BY
rail.

THE WEATHER.
Statistics for the Past Thirteen
Years.
Thermometer and Observation-Disclosures
Of Days on Which Rain Fell and the
Amounts.

The weather of Los Angeles is always
an interesting subject for discussion,
and the official record is very handy
thing to have when arguments occur.
The signal service records here are very
complete, and the statistics presented
below cover almost every ground on
which argument is based. A study of
the tables, which are complete for nearly
thirteen years, reveals some very inter-
esting facts. The first table shows the
temperature, and when compared with
other years it will be seen that in the
whole thirteen years there was not
variance Of over five per cent. in the
mean of any month. The highest tenn
perature during the year was reached in
June, when los degrees was reached,
and the lowest was recorded in January,
when the temperature recorded "a
degrees.
In another table showing the number
OF days on which sthe temperature rose
above 30 degrees, the record shows that
there were more than in any of the pre-
ceding years of which the figures are
given. There were no days on which
the thermometer fell below the freezing
point, and in thirteen years there were
lonly seven days in which the tsmpera-
lture broke below that point. If Decem-
ber, 1889, is leftout of the calculation the
number OF days on which .O1 of an inch
or more OF precipitation fell in 1880 is
below the average, but with December
included, the record will 60 above the
average, although not much more than
in 1854. The table showing the annual
rainfall is very interesting, for it shows
that, with the exception of 1884, more
rain fell in 1889 than in any of the,thir-
teen years. The table also shows that
in December of 1859 more rain fell than
in any other month on record. In 1884
1887 inches fell in February, while in
December of 1889 1879 inches fell. The
tables also show that the wettest months
OF the year are January, February,
March and December. The rainy sea-
son in 1889 commenced unusually early,
.61 OF an inch being recorded for August.
In only one year did the rain fall so
early, and that was in 1886.
The following table shows the month
ly temperature for thirteen years, with
the highest, lowest and mean tempera-
lures for each month:

PETROLEUM.,
A Large Increase in the Output of the
Product.


Product.
The oil output of Southarn, California
is constantly increasing. and has now
become very important part of the
commerce of the country. The busi-
ness from tia boring of the wells to
selling of the, oil is now virtually in the
hands of trust known as. the Union
oil company. which, is, popuiarly sup
posed to be more or less. intimately con-
nected with the. Standard Oil company.
An attempt was made to obtain some
reliable information in detail regarding
the development of the product, but the
company refused to give out any state
ment. There is n0, question but what
the business is very profitable, and that
there is plenty Of opportunity for the
safe and paying investment of capital
in oil lands and wells.
FROM the statements of an expert,
the entire daily oil output in Ventura,
Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties
can safely be estimated at 1900 barrels.
About thirty new wells have been sunk
during the past twelve months, and
twelve miles OF pipe line constructed,
together with storage and tankage of a
capacity for between 5000 to 5000 bar
rels. The increase Of the product over
that of the year previous can at low
estimate be placed at Is per cent.

THE CITY WATER COMPANY.
The Extent of Its Service and Recent
improvements.

eN~S~>~S
Improvements.
The Los Angeles City Water company
and it's subsidiary organization, the
Crystal Springs Land and Water COM
pany, form the largest source of water
supply to this city. The officers are
w. H. Perry, president; w. j. Brodrick,
vice-president; I. w. Hellman, treas
urer; S. H. Mott, secretary, and S. b.
Caswell, auditor. The capital is 81 ,240,-
600. The boar of directors is composed
OF w. H. Perry, S. H. Mott, II. w. He'll
man, w. J.. Brodrick, G. Ducommun,
S. Lazard, William Ferguson and 4. f.
Spence. The superintendent is Will
lam Mulholland.
he supply of these companies is
handled by the Crystal Springs COM
pany. and is derived from substratum
of gravel under the bed OF the Los An
geles river. During the past year there
have been many improvements made in
the means of obtaining the water. A
steam ditcher was used to cut through
the sand in the river bed, when layer
OF clay was found, and on piercing this,
access was had to deposit of gravel, in
which were found many springs. Three
miles OF underground vitritied drain
pipe was laid!in this gravel, tapping the
springs and conducting the water to, a
cement walled reservoir, with stor-
age capacity of 15,OOO.00O gallons.
Besides this there have been laid in
the year past, IA 900 feet of 44-inch iron
pipe, 300 feet of concrete conduit five
feet in depth, and $500 feet of bedrock
tunnel. These measures prevent any
danger of cessage of supply by acci-
dent by washing or floods.
At this point the work of the City Wa
ter company commences, for it does the
distributing. This scompany has about LIS
miles of distributing maine, varying in
size from thirty inches diameter to two
inches, and which lead through all that
part of the city lying within the pres
sure obtained from the reservoir.
In this city the company supplies
about $500 services: being an increase OF
about 400 during the year, representing
an increase of population of about $500.
THE CITIZENS WATER COMPANY.
The Citizens Water company supplies
the northwest portion OF the city, in
Guiding the hill region. Its source of
supply is the Los Angeles river, and the
amount of water at its command is in
definite. 1t has 75tmiles OF mains, and
has 2200 services.
