arms, so fair and white;
Two eyes into mine shining with loving, ten

Two red lips are parted, showing teeth resembling
rows of pearls;
Odors sweet come to me flowing from mass OF
dark brown curls.
On my ears voice beguiling falls in mellowed
accents down;
Yet my face is stern, unsmiling, and my forehead
wears frown.
Thus play the unmoved tyrant; hardest role Of

THE DAILY REPORT.
Mr.. BUNKER TELLS OF Mr.. HIEsTER's CoNNEc-
TIoN WITH THAT JOURNAL.

To the Editor of the San Francisco Calt-SIR:
Your sketch of Mr.. Hester contained several
inaccuracies, which l am sure crept into the
article by mistake. The facts of Mr.. Hiesters
connection with the Report are these: In 1868
the printers struck and Mr.. Hester, who was
then assistant foreman of the Bulletin, retired
from office with his fellow-compositors. In
1869 he became foreman of the Daily Report
Printing and Publishing House. At that time
the Report was little stock paper published
at noon. The paper was owned by Wheeler d
Lawton. In May, 1875, bought a controlling
interest i'll the Report and incorporated it.
Mr.. Hester continued foreman of the printing
department. Two years later Mr.. Hester &C
quired an interest in the Report and became
its business manager, which position he has
ever since filed. The paper was really started
by John C. CarmanY in the form of tabulated
statements for brokers' and was issued first
weekly and then daily. Very truly yours,
WILLIAM NJ. BUNKER,
Editor Daily Report and President Daily Re-
port Publishing Company.

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS.

The second international musical compet1-
tion founded by Rubinstein, has just taken
place in Berlin. A chatty account of the pro-
ceedings is given by Charles III. Vidal: I'm the
Beckstein Hall, where We assemble, there is
large table for the members of the jury, VINO
number over twenty. Professor Johannsen ofst.
Petersburg presides; to his right are Jadassohn
of Leipzig, and l. who represent the conser-
vatory ofParis to his left are Satonoff OF Mos

tory of Baltimore.
'sIn the morning and the afternoon we have
orchestral works, either compositions OF the
competitors or else concertos, 10 show the v1rtu-
osity of some of the competitors. In the even

the hours are beginning to drag by IN at time
All our deliberations take place in German,

the composition prize Melcer of Varsovia,
born in 1869, carried off most of the votes, his
only serious competitor being young man
from Copenhagen. The prize would have been
divided between them if Rubinsteins will had

Damrosch's season of Wagnerian opera in
New York will be given at the old Academy
of Music. The history of this house as the
house of grand opera practically came to an
end with the close of the Mapleson dynasty.
For a short time afterward the organization
known as the National. Opera" occupied it
with works sung in English, bnt that venture
was short. lived, and since then it has been
given over to theatrical performances, mostly
of the sort that require a very large stage,
which the academy possesses. Damrosch's
venture will be worth watching as an indica-
ton of the extent to which the location OF a
building will affect the success OF the per-
formanres given in it. Fashionable New York
has completely deserted the neighborhood of
the academy and moved long way off. The
German population is still on the east side of
the city, and some of it in neighborhoods from
which the academy is fairly accessible.
Two of the most brilliant pianists in Ger

C. H. Phillips owns among many other things
the Chino ranch of Al 900 acres, on which are
produced most of the beets that are used at the
Chino sugar factory. Talking about it at the
Palace yesterday he said: There are 5000
acres planted in beets this year, $500 acres of
which are rented to sol tenants. We expect
to supply the sugar factory with 10000 tons
from this crop and next year we expect to
produce 125, 900 tons.''
How much sugar will that make Mr..
Phillips?" was asked.
''You can figure it at about Is per cent.
You make it 1880 tons, Ell? Well, that is a
good deal of sugar. There is any quantity of
land down there fit for raising bee,s and the
climate and soil are both peculiarly suitable.
