The Display Made at the Chamber of
Commerce Exhibit.
For the past few days the exhibit hall
OF the chamber of commerce has been
crowded from the hour OF opening to
the time of closing by crowd of both
fasteners and Cslifornians who desired
to see the biggest pumpkin in the world.
This large variety of squash, which
weighed no less than 314 pounds, was
shipped to the worlds fair on Monday.
While at the chamber it was the center
piece of large collection of pumpkins
of various sizes, hues and shapes. The
assortment was most extended, embrac-
ing the 80 pound squash looked upon as
marvellous by the easterner, to the 3l4
pound Brobdingnagian which is neces-
sary to cause Californians to take second
look and appear surprised. There were
also four or five specimens weighing
from 155 to 250 pounds each.
Many persons visited the chamber
yesterday in hopes OF seeing the 314
pound fellow, but as he had been sent
away they had to content themselves
with good sized one weighing loo
pounds. In fact. the majority of the
crowd thought at the first glance that ii
was the big specimen and began their
expressions OF wonder until they saw
the 155 pound label on the opposite side
OF the vegetable.
After that they contented themselves
with becoming wide eyed over the three
pound tomato received from Mr.. David
Brinkley of Eagle Rock.

eyeglasses, through which she looked
about, and presently she whispered tc
me, "There, to your left, in the box on
the first tier" Hooked, expecting know
not what, and my first impression was
disappointment. ea
saw some figures in the box-two
men standing at the back and a lady in
front seat sitting alone. She was a
stout, middle aged woman, dressed in a
stiff watered silk dress, with a huge
cameo, such as people then wore, at her
throat. Her black, shiny hair shone like
polished ebony. She had aheavy red face,
marked brow4 great dark eyes. There
was something.how shall I say it?-
rather fierce, defiant and set in her ap-
pearance, powerful, sulky. She frighten-
ed one little. THAT is George Sand" /"
said Mrs. Sartoris, bending her head and
making friendly sign to the lady with
her eyeglasses. The figure also bent its
head. but don't remember any smile or
change of that fixed expression.
The contrast struck me the more, for
my hostess, as have said, scarcely need
ed to speak to make herself understood.

and sentenced by Judge Goodman to IL

and has served eight years Of his term.
He was q resident of Rincon when the

BIG SUIT.
From the appearance of things yester-
day the Riverside Banking company
will probably be forced into liquidation
by suit filed in the superior court.
The First National bank of
Los Angeles is plaintiff and the
defendants are j. +. Brenneman,
o. T. Dyer, Orin Backus, E. E.
Dyer and A. Keith, and the amount for
which the action is brought is $35, ,S76.-
"a with interest at per cent from Sep
temher Is, 1892. After the filing OF. the
complaint an attachment was issued and
levied upon considerable real estate
owned by Mr.. Backus and Mr.. Brenne-
man. At the time mentioned in the
complaint the First National bank of
Los Angeles advanced about $50, 900 on
collateral securities which were ade-
quate to cover the loan. The bank to
protect its interests secured the stock
holders of the Dyer banks joint note
for 100000 TO be held as additional col
lateral for the $50, 900 loan and for sums
which might be subsequently advanced.
The suit is based on this transaction,
therefore the Dyer bank was not made
party in this action.
