and Spanish wines.
The special purpose of this international
blending is to create and develop an ex-
port trade with Mexico and the West
Indies, as we'll as China and India. The
California sherries are considered by viii
culturists to be much in need Of blending,
and the red wines of the State are too
strong for general use.
Charles A. Wetmore presided at the
meeting and welcomed the Spanish Com
missioners on behalf of the Alameda
growers. He said that sherrles were the
most deficient of the native wines of this
State, and then invited the gentlemen
from Madrid to explain their mission.
Senior Enrique Dupuy de LONE began by
stating that the object OF the Spanish Gov
ernment in establishing the commission
was TO promote the wine Industry OF
Spain, which is now the most important,
comprising 48 per cent OF its export trade.
He said that IN opening new fields the IN
terests OF Spanish and California growers
are not opposed. On the contrary, they
are identical. he stated number of
statistics showing the greater wine con-
sumption of Spain and Frame over the
United States. He stated that the Amer
lean people had already passed through
three alcoholic stages-rum, whisky and
beer-apd was now on the verge OF the
fourth. the wine stage. He advocated he
use of wine as practical cure for drunk
ennesS.
Chairman Wetmore remarked that so far
as red wines are concerned the blending of
California and Spanish vlntages is i'm
practicable, because both have the same
predomina ant Quality-too much strength.
He said our wines could be made ilgnter,
but that tile demand is for heavy vines.
the dealers preferring to reduce the
strength from II to 10 per cent after the
wines had left the growers cellar.
After sampling wines from Madrid and
from Livermore 1t was arranged that the
members of the Spanish Commission
should be taken on Wednesday to the
vineyards of Alameda County In charge OF
Frank L. Fowler, John l.. Beard and b. T.
Barker. They will also meet the ylticui-
turists Of the State at lUl Oansome street
on The 18th inst.
The fair management have entered into
arrangements with representatives of
Santa Barbara County, by which 1t is ex-
pectpd they will be able to get the para
phernalia and flowers for reproduction
of the Santa Barbara flower festival at the
fair
e. w. Gate OF the Santa Barbara am-
phibIon, and Clio l.. Lloyd, manager OIL
the Santa Barbara building at the fair, are
working on it, and they think 1t can he
arranged. 1t is probable that the manage
ment of the carnival will be given to the
Santa Barbara people. and that some
division of gate receipts VIII be MADE TO
compensate them for their trouble.
The trouble in the Oriental village may
he revived When the riot took place a
short time ago the alleged Turks knocked
down the gates. a compromise was ell
| fected by which the 15-cent gate admission
was removed. and each oil the Dszaar-
| owners agreed to pay his pro rata toward
1878 a week to remunerate the village con-
cessionaires for letting the public in free.
Though the baZaar-owners have made
money by the change, they say that they
nave not made enough to justify them In
paying so large bonus. Several OF them
say they will refuse to pay it after this
having their gates rebuilt. 1t is expected
that the 15-cent rate will be charged the
public again next week.
Two games of the amateur baseball
series between the Olympic and the Ala
media clubs have taken place, and
the clubs involved are now await
Ing the appearance OF trophy which,
thew believe. was offered for their
exercise on the diamond. Unless the
trophy materiaZes they say they will play
no more. In this case the series is off, for
/ Colonel Robinson says that no trophy was
| ever offered for the two clubs and that the
auxiliary athletic committee of the Mid
winter Fair having gone out OF existence,
| baseball on the recreation grounds will be
confined to the intercollegiate mines.
Beyond any reasonable doubt the Mid
winter Fair will be extended bevond the
time originally fixed for its closing. In
| stead OF winding up its existence on June
| 80, the exposition will be continued
| through July and perhaps during August
and September. Ihe execntlVe COMMITTEE
| broached the matter OF the extension a
| few DAYS ago to the county commissioners.
! The latter objected on the score that the
| expense of mainta lining their exhibits was
so great that they could not provide fund
| for the continuance of the exposition.
At the request of the executive commit
tee the County Commissioners took the
| matter under consideration. Yesterday
| they sent proposal to the executive COM
mittee, which the latter aggregation con-
| sidered at last nights meeting, The sug-
| gestiop was that the counties should be
given percentage Of the gate receipts
after July for the maintenance of their
displays. This proposal was favorably
| considered by the exposition management.
Dairy products will comprise the next
ompetitive display in the Agricultural
and Horticultural building. Ali the pro-
ducers represented in the Dairymen's
Union will have EXHIBITS. and at least a
dozen others will send in displays and
make an effort to capture the premiums
offered by the exposition for the best sam
piles OF butter, cheese and milk.
The following special announcement was
made bv the exposition management on
Wednesday:

fornia Colleges has selected Thursday as
