THE third number of the bulletin is-
sued by our city library gives novel
but conclusive answer to the regulation
complaint that the percentage of calls
for works OF fiction is SO much greater
than those for works of fact. It saws
that works of fiction are read through
in perhaps one-tifth the time consumed
for serious works, SO that their circula-
ton should be estimated upon differ
ent basis from that adopted for deter
mining the other library circulation.
Books of fiction constitute the small
coin OF literature. To say that COM
munity which draws 65 per cent of
fiction to So OF ''solid" matter is devot-
ing SO per cent OF its reading time or
energy to fiction, is as if one should say
that 65 per cent of pence exchanging to
30 per cent of pounds represents just
this proportion of volume of business
transacted by each.

BOSTON BUSINESS MEN.
They Are to Spy Out the Southern
California Promised Land

California Promised Land.
Ninety substantial business men ol
Boston and vicinity are on their way to
California on complete round trip ol
thirty-three days, under the direction
OF Raymond & Whitcomb. This excur-
sion is OF the same character as the tour
engineered by the Boston fruit and
produce exchange last winter.
The party is travelling in a special
Pullman vestibuled train with dining
car, and making leisurey progress. 1t
left Boston February I'd, and will be due
in Riverside by the Sunset route on
Friday, the 18th. After spending the
day there the party will come on to
Pomona for stop of half day, and,
arriving in Los Angeles Saturday noon,
is to remain here until Wednesday
morning.
The travellers will then spend half a
day in Santa Barbara and the same in
Bakersfield and Fresno, four days in
San Francisco and day each in San
Jose, Monterey and Sacramento before
proceeding east. About half of the
party are ladies. The citizens OF River
side, Pomona, Santa Barbara, Bakers
field and Fresno gave the fruit and
produce dealers cordial reception last
winter, and are preparing to do the same
by this party.

THE Democratic state central commit
tee of New York have called the conven-
ton to select delegates to Chicago for
the 22d of this month. A great outcry
is made against this premature date. 1t
is denounced as mid-winter conven-
tion. compelling the holding of the
primary elections at time when the
inclement weather prevented full
expression of party opinion at the polls.
As the Chicago convention does not
meet till the 25th of June, there would
be plenty of time to select delegates long
after the 22d of February. The protests
against the unprecedented "previous-
ness" of the date of the call of the New
York convention are so numerous and
Htrong that the propriety of postpone
ment will probably be forced with effect
upon the consideration of the state CEN
tral committee.

THE lovely weather Yesterday gave
the streets of Los Angeles positively
metropolitan appearance. Spring street
was as thickly thronged as Market or
Kearney streets in San Francisco, with
gay groups of brightly-dressed ladies'.
The limp and lifeless appearance OF such
cities as Oakland and Sacramento would
form most notifying contrast to the
swaying masses OF feminine loveliness in
Los Angeles that involved suggestion
of the Rue des Italiens, in Paris.

day as ever graced the footstool. The
air, alter the late rains, was scintillant
and inspiriting to the superlative de-

country like that of Los Angeles. Few
people stop to consider what an ex-

it all right to describe Cleveland as

ADJUSTMENTS.

Sport McAllister is one of the flimsi-
est of the fimsy affairs which nova.
days are called farce comedies. There
are only two persons in the company
who rise above the ordinary require
ments OF the variety stage. They are
Bobby Gaylor and George Parker, a
supple dancer. Mr.. Gaylor is possibly
the best Irish comedian of today. His
work in the part he now plays does not
rise to the dignity of character acting
not through any fault of the actor, but
because of the wretched construction of
the play. He shows himself possessed
of unquestionable dramatic talent, be-
sides an apparently inexhaustible sup
ply of funny business" and dances
which are jokes in themselves. Mr..
Gaylor in legitimate comedy role,
surrounded by good company, would
make an artistic success. AS it is, he
makes a comparative success out OF a
farce comedy which is unworthy of his
efforts.
Miss Parker is as lissome as ever, and
dances with the eccentric abandon
peculiar to herself.

Hoyt's Texas Steer has proven itself
one OF the best theatrical hits which
has been produced before the Los An
geles public. Harry Wyatt's Los An
geles theater was filled last evening
with an audience which enjoyed i'm
mensely the drolleries of fine company
of comedians in the best play from
Hoyt's pen. The author only claims
that "a Texas Steer is collection of
saws and instances, supposed to bear
more or less upon the extraordinary
possibilities of American politics and
the development of statesmanship of
the average type. The author does not
claim that his treatment of the subject
is exhaustive and profound; he will not
insist that it is absolutely truthful; but
he hopes that, as far as it goes, it will
be found amusing"
That this modest purpose has been
fulfilled was shown by the enthusiasm
with which the play was received.
After the second act the audience burst
into storm of applause and called Mr..
Hoyt before the curtain, where the tai
ented farce writer thanked his hearers
in clever little speech.
The company is one perfectly adapted
W ble requirements OF lD0 comedy,
every member successfully working in
harmony with the tenor of the ludicrous
production.
Mr.. E. S. Laurie, an old-time actor at
present disabled by an accident on the
stage, is in this city for the purpose of
directing a presentation of the great
drama OF Damon and Pythias. He will
be assisted by Mrs. Laurie, who will
play Colanthe, and by Miss Laurie, who
will take the child's part. Another
member Of the cast will be Mr.. Ellaby.
who came here with the Lauries. The
rest of the parts will be filed by local
talent. The production will be under
the auspices of the Knights of Pythias

IN SOCIETY.

The middle class exercises were helG

crowded with the students of the school

and others.
As whole, the affair was up to the
standard of school exercises, and the

programme, and was we'll executed by
Miss Matilda Hammel.

selection from Liszt, which was we'll re-

the address to the seniors. The young
man was happy in his personal allu-
