WINES AT THE MIDwINrER.

A Protest Against the Lack of Guards
Against Poor Stuff.
The following open letter to Director
General De Young of the midwinter fair
is of interest to wine men.
M. H. De Young, esq.,, Director-Genera Califor-
MIA Midwinter International Exposition
DEAR t.IR: As the representative of
two prominent vignerons of this state,
l have in q business way come in con-
tact with two of the concessionaries of
the California midwinter fair.
| have learned, to my great surprise,
ttat in allotting concessions, including
the right to sell wines, no restriction
whatever has been placed by the man.
agement upon the quality of wine that
shall be dispensed.
One concesslonaire informed me that
he had arranged for his wines delivered
to him bottled at 10 cents per quart bot
tie. The other WAS seeking a wine man,
who for lump sum should have the ex!
elusive right to sell his wines In cer-
tain building within the fair grounds.
The price for the privilege appeared to
be the only essential element, the quail
itv OF the wine being OF minor or no con-
sidsration.
II the California midwinter fair is to
be an exponent OF California industry,
contend there should be some restric-
tions guaranteeing to our visiting friends
samples, if not OF the best the state af-
fords. certainly not the poorest. One
poor glass of wine served in the restaur-
ants OF the midwinter fair will create
more OF an impression than all the joint
or individual wine exhibits there.
Petty Jealousy and business cupidity
should be laid aside and reasonable
representation Of the various wine dis
tficts and their products should be seen
upon svery wine list issued on the mid
winter fair grounds.
In view OF the fact that the wine in.
dustry represents 80 large percentage
of our resources it would seem to be a
matter worthy OF your earnest attention.
Respectfully yours,
CHARLES r. Bowen.

A New Puzzle.

One of the California souvenirs of the
Columbian year is the ''Star-spangled Ban
ner Puzzle" which was invented by Oscar
Waibel, a Native Son and member of
the firm of Waibel Bros, news agents
at Fifteenth and Mission streets. The
puzzle is made up of ffty-nine blocks as
representing our collection of States and
Territories. The stripes and stars on the
flag are affinity to our original thirteen
States, while the stars on the shield give
represeni alton to the present forty-four.
Adding the nams gives puzzle of highly
patriotic flavor. All the Presidents are
represe nted from Washington to Cleve-
land. A popularity in connection with

the puzzle is in its being the result of a
dream, in which the inventor imagined
himself as having a set of ciga-
rette pictures, each representing a
State of the union, strung around his neck.
The examiner at the Patent Office in Wash

inventor when application for a patent
was made by saying it was the neatest and
most attractive puzzle he had ever seen.

betting sheds and saw that neither st.
Leonards, Clifford nor any other horse
upon the track could get near enough to
catch the dust from the flying heels of
Boundless.
The amount of money that changed
hands at the track upon the race was
fully $S00.000. One hundred and twenty
bookmakers had all they could do to
accommodate the fearful crowd, which
for over two hours fought, pushed and
smashed hats and rent garments in the
frantic effort to get their money on their
opinion of the result. Even after the
horses were at the post. the crowd was
still pushing forward with its money
and the bookmakers were still raking it
in. 1t was the heaviest betting day Chi

ers kept it nearly all.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Special and

Lochren have been sent to take charge
of the books and records of the various
medical boards throughout the district
in which Van Leuven, the Cresco pen
sion agent, operated. In the cases of
the boards at Preston. Faribault and
Austin these agents secured the records
several days ago, and before the exam
liners knew they were to be removed or
that there was any trouble ahead.
Friends and acquaintances of ex-Sena-
tor Wood, of Faribault, and ex.Senators
Gibson and Hollister, of Austin, lay the
trouble purely on Van Leuven, and say
that if fraud has been committed these
gentlemen were imposed on, perhaps
allowing their sympathies for the old
soldiers and friendship for Van Leuvsn
to make them less careful than they
should have been. The payment of
pensions to large number of those who
came in under the act of 1890 has been
suspended temporarily pending an ex-
animation into their claims.
Senator John Day Smith. Of Min
neapolis. is expected to arrive in the
morning to see what can be done for his
