in 'SS and 'S9. In the fall of 80 Wright
was signed by Cleveland, of the National
league, but was released by Manager
Frazier, owing to disagreement about
salary. In '91 he managed the Detroit
team until it disbanded, when he went
to Duluth of the Western association,
and finished the season with Omaha.
Wright is great batter, as the follow
ing averages made by him go to prove:
In 1886, with Hamilton, .276; in 1887,
.422; Syracuse in 1888, .349; Syracuse
in 1889, .313; in 1890, American associa-

player, and will aid materially in land
ing the flag for Los Angeles. Wright

"After the ten-round draw between

POMONA.
An Interesting Batch of News From
That City.

Special Correspondence to the HERALD
POMONA, March %.
Nature evidently intends to do her
part towards giving to the Pomona val-
ley prosperous season. The whole
face of the country is revelation of
beauty. Every tree seems to be vying
with its neighbor in making thrifty,
vigorous growth, and in promises of re-
ward to the fruit-raiser.
The beet farmers of Chino are in the
midst of the planting, and the hundreds
OF acres that were seeded some time ago
are making fine growth. The output
from the factory will be far in excess of
that OF last season.
The board of trade held an import ant
business meeting Monday night. The
question of the Santa Fe branch to Po-
mona, thence to South Riverside, is re-
ceiving attention. Right of way and
depot grounds will have to be looked
after, and it is safe to say that when
these matters are settled favorably, that
the line will be built soon thereafter.
A mass meeting has been called by
the board of trade for tonight to con-
slider county division, city division, and
other matters of interest to the city.
Eight or ten speakers have signified
their willingness to give their views on
the various subjects, and it is expected
that an organized effort will be made to
oH Huo Dnpnnno1o ha, ip,a ofo
all subjects. The people up here as a
rule recognize the fact that county d.
vision, or the formation of new counties
from the territory of the old, is simply
a question of time, and believe that the
time has arrived when the interests of
all will be best subserved by division.
1t was reported just before this report

A. T. Currier, the genial farmer prince
Of the San Jose valley, was in town to-
day. He was interviewed as to his dis
position to make the fight for sheriff on
the Republican side of the house, and he
insisted on his denial OF any hankering
in that direction. He says his farm and
other property interests hereaway COM
mand all his time and attention, and he
could not think of becoming candidate.
He would command a warm support
throughout this country if he were to be
a candidate.

The Graphic says: "The dispatch

Happily there is plenty of time for

hence his staggering rejoinder."
The Telegraph says: "We hesitate
to qualify the news as alarming, but it
is certainly troublesome and disquieting.
We can only hope that President Har-
rison's threat Of military coercion is in
accurately represented. 1t is always well
to remember that in dealing with Ameri-

from the hope that the expression
is exaggerated. Neither can we imag-

nations will assist President Harrison
in his election. He may rest assured
that we are not likely to believe in the
virtues of the modus vivendi, because
