a Good word for an Anrelano.

EDITORS HERALD: Having been a
daily witness of the superior work of
Frank Virgins, who seems to have the
Southarn California exhibit weii in
cnsrge, and hnvlng had quite large
and varied exberience in such things
in this country and Ia. EuIupe, wish to
place myself on record, without his
knowledge, and state that he has per-
formed wonders herea under not the
most cheering circumstances. What
have seen of Wigglns during the past
four weeks convinces me that he ia O
mighty good man in the right place.
The exhibit of Southern California, 40
far as its pomological exhibit ia con-
cerned, is as attractive an object as
there is at jackson park-and great
credit ia due the executive ability and
oil round energy of Wiggins.
There are two other men, however,
whom / would like to say good word
for, and they are Mr.. l.. Z. Allen and r.
II. Young Of San Diego. They have
been constant in their work-morning,
noon and highland | can assure you
that San Diego county is substantial
gamer by the presence Of these two in
dustriouH and conscientious men.
The citrus displays Of San Bernardino
and Riverside counties are also fine,
and the men in charge are capable and
untiring. Orange county does not come
up to my expectation, as it was always
we'll in the lead when / had charge OF the
Southern California exhibit at the
Rialto building. This is not the fault,
however, Of Wiggins, or any one else.
1t seems to have been the fault of
Orange, as there is not much here from
that county, except few fresh fruits on
plates and few splendid isrs OF vegeta-
bles and fruits. Somehow or other
don't recognize the spirit of my old
friend Bnndy, of Santa Ana, who used
to send me contributions weekly for two
years (nearly) without fail. There
should be more here from Orange county,
as no section in the state can make
better all round display than that sans
little county.
Seven hundred Thousand people have
already seen the citrus exhibit Of SOUTH
ern California now in the pomological
section of the horticultural building,
and this is the only exhibit, by the way,
there is from California.
The California building will not be
ready before June. The following con-
tributions have been added since my
last letter:

Jars OF Dameon plums.
