WORLD OF SPORT.
THE COLoNELs TO OPEN HERE TO-
MORROW.
The Los Angeles Hearse Horse Becoming
Famous-La Tosca Reported to Be a
Whirlwind of Speed-F. F. and The
Jew to Run this Afternoon.

The Colonels make their first appear
ance in Los Angeles tomorrow alter
noon. The fans are predicting many
victories for Los Angeles this week. On
public form there is some reason Tor
these predictions. Los Angeles beat
San Francisco two straight and the lat
ter club won two out of three games
with the Colonels. But public form at
the beginning of season is very decep'
tive. The Colonels are the tail-enders,
but no one has yet been able to obtain
a line on the Oaklanders. They have
been handicapped more than any CLUB
in the league. The majority OF their
players did not have sufficient practice
before the opening Of the season and
have not yet struck their gait. The
games played thus far are no criterion
of the strength OF the Co1onels, and un-
der Fred Carroll's captaincy they will
be we'll up at the finish.
The impression is very general among
close observers of the game that the
California league this year is faster
than ever before, and that all the clubs
are we'll matched. The race for the
pennant for 1892 will be hot one and,
il the clubs put up the ball they are
capable of there will be no lack OF sup
port. In the meantime the judicious
will delay with their predictions until
all the teams are in the best Of condi-
tion.
Week day games will hereafter be
called at 3 o'clock, while Sunday games
are, set for 2 80.

main line of the Bear Valley irrigation
system and Gage system OF irrigation,
leading from the San Bernardino valley
down into Riverside.
"A most important industry has been
developed during the past year in the
construction OF an extensive sugar plant
on the Chino ranch, the property of
Richard Gird, about thirty miles east OF
Los Angeles and jusG south of Pomona.
"a plant has been constructed Of a
large four-story brick building fully
equipped with all modern appliances for
sugar making from beets, and during
the past season was worked very sue
cessfully and resulted in concentrating
attention to most important manufac-
turing interest combined with agricul-
ture.
cat present over 5000 acres imme-
diately adjoining the factory is being
planted in beets, which will produce a
net revenue, over and above the cost of
planting and cultivation, of from $50 to
$40 per acre.
"The mechanical part of the works,
the building and machinery, has been
constructed by newcomers to the state,
experienced sugar mechanics, who
have completed one OF the handsomest
plants in the world, with an investment
of 100000. Work of this character,
with the large amount of planting that
is being done, is giving new impetus
to Southern California, and turn OF
the tide is taking place, very much to
the advantage of the entire state,
although now beginning in the southern
portion"

LOS ANGELES DIRT.
What a San Francisco Dealer Says
of 1t.

What San Francisco Dealer Says
of 1t,
Wendell Easton returned to the city
last week after two weeks tour
through the interior for the purpose of
studying the general situation regarding
the real estate business.
He has been expressing the opinion
for some time past that our new busi-
ness will depend upon the condition of
affairs in the country, and that our city
realty would be directly influenced by
the outcome of the crops for the present
season. In an interview yesterday he
said:
81 found the interior banks in a
strong financial condition, with prob
ably more money on hand than at any
time in the history of the state.
''It is commonly the case at this time
of the year to find strong credit in
favor of the San Francisco banks, but
this condition does not prevail just now.
''With Los Angeles as a central point
and extending out into the acreage prop
erty healthy condition of affairs pre-
walls, and planting seems to be the key
note.
"Paper towns and town lots are things
of the past, and acreage property is now
being sought after by actual planters for
all classes of semi. tropic fruits.
Wherever irrigation can be used to
Z Vantage is found scene of activity.
This is particularly noticeable along the
Los Angeles herald., 1892-04-05

boom up property in that vicinity. For
the last twenty years they have contin-
ously held out to the eastern tenderioot
that the people OF Los Angeles had un-
der way and would soon complete a har-
Dor near that city upon whose placid
waters should float the commercial navy
OF the world. The folly OF all this was
made very apparent some two years ago
to the senate committee who visited
the California coast. They visited San
Diego and San Pedro. The city OF
Los Angeles at that time made
grea. display OF having one OF their har-
Dor schemes under way, and hae re.
quested visit from this committee, and
they outlined to the committee at San
Pedro the harbor which they wished to
construct. Senator Fry, as reported in
the papers, at that time said to them:
"You are asking the government to
build you harbor out OF whole cloth |;
the government, however, does not
build harbors, but is willing to improve
them. You have a fine city, but you
have built it in the wrong place. Ii you
wish to get near harbor would advise
you to move to San Diego, where they
have already an excellent harbor." :,
This put quietus upon the proposed
bill. It has been brought forward again
at this time; both the Southern Pacific
Railroad company and the city of Los
Angeles know that harbor cannot pos
sibly built at San Pedro, and the reports
of the engineers OF the government rela-
tive to this matter will show this to be
the fact. understand the scooping out
of the sand by the government is, how
ever. of some assistance to the Southern
Pacific Railroad company, by tempora-
rily helping it to get in to its wharf
some of the lumber and coal schooners.
The very fact that the city OF Los An
geles is built from twenty to thirty miles
in the interior from San Pedro should be
conclusive evidence to any one that the
people of Los Angeles do not expect that
deep-water harbor can possibly be
constructed at San Pedro; but the con-
tinued appropriation by the government
aids the Southern Pacific in its contest
against the use of the great deep-water
harbor at San Diego.
G. FL. Mendell, colonel corps en-.
gineers, in his annual report to the
government in 1888, page 2l22, on Cali
fornia harbors, says of San Pedro:
The harbor of San Diego is capacious
and favorable In point OF Shelter ana
depth for any amount of commerce that
can be imagined in the future. 1t lies
ninety miles to the southwark and east
ward of the bay of San Pedro. 1t may
be question whether or not it is advis-
able to expend a considerable sum in
building an artificial harbor at San
Pedro when there is now fine natural
harbor at San Diego, ninety miles dis
tant. San Pedro is small estuary, and
can never be made harbor for deep
water ships. If eighteen or twenty feet
at high water can be obtained the har-
Dor will receive its maximum develop
ment. which would be fourteen or six
teen feet at mean tide. 1t is located
twenty miles from Los Angeles.

He Pays a Tribute to "Chippy's"
Memory.

Captain Friend, who has been in this
city for several days, returned to San
Diego yesterday morning, leaving a
characteristic letter in the HERALD news
room from which the following is taken !:
"My heart turned clean over this

poor Chippy's demise. You know am

Diego canine notable, not tramp, as you

place of future consolation at all, and
you can bet all your loose change that
Chippy has harp, whether he can play
on it or not. l have seen Los Angeles
as few old residents know it and tell
you my son, it is great little city. 1

NEW YORK, April 4.-Some idea OF
the present wonderful growth OF the
typewriter business may be gained from
the fact that the sales of Remington
typewriters for January and February
1892, exceeded those of the correspond.
ing months of 1891, by 100000.
The great and constantly gaining pop
ularity of the Remington is clearly
shown by the fact that the business has
more than doubled within three years
The Remington factory at lion, N
Y, employs 700 men to fill the demand
created by the sales of the agents
Wyckoff, Seamens & Benedict, who dis
pose of machines at the astonishing rate

HE COULDN'T BE ROBBED.
An ex-Judge of San Diego County Held
Up in Vain.

A funny incident happened down in
Stingaree town last Sunday night which
will bear repeating, says the San Diego
Sun. An eccentric but good-natured
character is Thomas H. Bush, who
held the important position of county
Judge in this county twenty-five years
ago. At that time he had plenty of
wealth and moved in the upper stratum
of society, but of late years he has rather
dropped down and out of the vortex,
and since the boom has sometimes been
reduced to actual want. For the past
three months he has been working for
Colonel Washburn at the Rosebun, but
it seems he only received his board as
compensation for his labor. This
was not generally known to the
tough quarter, and as the Judge
slowly wended his way to his
humble cabin about the hour of II 80 p.
M, two stalwart highwaymen ap-
preached him from the rear, and the
largest, a fierce, black-whiskered viii
lain, stuck six-shooter under the
judges left ear and ground out
between his teeth in cultural sounds,
"We want your stuff, and if ye don't
pungle we'll scatter yer brains like hen
feed. Do ye hear?" The judge laughed
and threw up his hands while the
other villain went through his pockets.
Not sou could be found, and the rob-
bers were about to retire from the spot
thoroughly disgusted, when the judge
called out: "Boys, I'm sorry for you
do you know who am? Pm ex-Ju lge
Thomas H. Bush, and l haven't had a
dollar in my possession for over three
years. but if had two bits I'd treat you
fellers, id if l wouldn't, SO there" ="
The highwayman dropped the pistol
and grasped the old mans hand. When
they left the ex-judge of San Diego
county was richer by four-bit piece
and two bottles of Stingaree-town

A Bright Lunatic.

A famous surgeon told me that he
went once to see lunatic in a private
asylum, and that in passing through a
corridor he was thus accosted by one
of the patients, "Take off your hat, sir!"
"Why should I?' asked my friend. "Be-
cause l am the son of the emperor of the
French. "Oh, 1 beg your royal high
ness pardon" apologized my triend, tax
ing his hat off. On revisiting the asy-
lu1n month or so later he was again
accosted in the same corridor by the son
of the emperor of the French, and in the
same words, .'"Take off your hat, sir!''
"WhyP" again asked my friend. "Be-
cause l am the son of the emperor of
Germany" "Of the emperor of Ger
many? Surely when last had the hon
or to see your royal highness you were
the son of the emperor of the French. ;"
"Ah, well-yes," he stammered. But
recovering at once from his embarrass-
ment, he added brightly, "That was by
another mother "-Exchange.

Jerusalem.


The town does not accord with the
visitors idea Of ancient Jerusalem-far
from it-but it is nevertheless a genuine
ly oriental city-and many Of the streets
are pleasingly picturesque. Most of all,
they rejoice to find the city ringing with
church bells, and the Moslems for once
in the minority. Out of a population of
some 100, 900 there are now about $4,000
Jews, the remaining $4,000 being about
equally divided between the Christians
and the Mohammedans.
No, our friends are not disappointed,
but yet, through all the three weeks of
their stay, they are haunted by curl
GUS feeling which refuses to be shaken
off, sensation like that which we ex-
perience in dreams when we seem to
visit some familiar and we'll loved place
and find everything strangely altered

An Old English Institution,

We have quite lost the mughouse.
This was a kind of music hall,
large room where only men were adj

only drink consumed. Every man had

of the company present one after the

songs there were toasts and speeches
sometimes of political kind, and the
people drank to each other from table
