MARRONS GLACES.

The marrons glaces, which are
imported from France and retail for
from 81 to $3.50 per pound, are
comparatively easy of preparation.
Our Consul at Lyons has suggest
ed to the State Department at
Washington that similar industry
might be established here. as we
have many places where the ground
is admirably suited to the growth
OF marion trees.
In many of the Southern States
are found wild trees that already
bear chestnuts an inch and half
in diameter, averaging as well as
the imported marrons. In France
the nuts are peeled and boiled in
clear water, after which the skins
can be removed.
Next day they are placed in a
rich sirup. favored with Mexican
vanilla, remaining there about
three days. At the end of that time
they are usually taken out to drain,
coated fresh with little vanilla
and packed in jars with the strip.

NO MORE WINE AT BANQUETS.
Knights Templar of California Vote
Unanimously to Dispense
With 1t.

San Francisco.-There will be no
wine at banquets of Knights Tenn
plar of California hereafter. This
was the decision reached by the
annual conclave of the grand COM
mandery held last week in this
city. The action was taken to carry
out the recommendation made by
retiring Grand Commander Frank
w. Pierce. There was nota dissent
ing vote against the move.
The innovation has been in
troduced, it is said, so that the or
der on this coast might fall in line
with the general movement of the
same kind in the East, and because
the use of wine in lodge rooms or
at official functions of the order is
contrary to the principles of Ma
sonry. No other reason is given, but
it is said that the Grand Lodge of
Masons at its annual meeting next
October, will take the same decisive
action and order that all banquets
given in the State be strictly tenn
perate. This stand has never before
been taken by lhe order on this
coast.

STIMULATING GROWTH
OF TREES.

A new method of forcing the
growth of trees has been lately put
to the test of experiment in the
Crimea, supplying trees with the
food necessary for their growth
through the trunk, thus dispensing
with the slow process of nature,
which can only work by means of
the roots. Salts of iron, either in
liquid or solid form, have been in
PRODUCED by cutting a hole in the
stem. An account of these proceed
ings has been recently read before
the Imperial Botanical Society of
st. Petersburg. The system has
been applied to 500 fruit trees, and
photographs showed that it has
quite fulfilled the expectations.

THE saloon keepers at Houston
very condescendingly consent to
obey the Sunday closing law during
rs much as four hours of the day.
For the remainder of the day, they
proclaim themselves open law
breakers. 1t is just such open
defiance of the law on he part of
the saloon keepers that is causing
the undemocratic principle of
prohibition to spread. The tragedy
st Beaumont recently, when an Of
fcer of the law was killed by a
saloon keeper for attempting to
enforce the Sunday law, has also
caused strong sentiment all over
s:ihe state~against the law-breaking
saloons. If prohibition carries in
this state, the saloon men will have
themselves to thank.

ON THE BOATS, 10000.
Excursion Fleet Carries that Num-
Der, 1t Is Estimated.

on either side of the long sea lane down
which the Reliance and Shamrock III sailed
yesterday was a huge fleet of pleasure craft.
All types were represented Fully twenty thou
sand people went down the Bay on the excur-
sion boats Despite the huge crowd that fought
to get on the boats. nearly every master had
wisely limited the number of tickets to prevent
overcrowding. There were one or two who were
not 80 conscientious, and when the squan struck
them most of their passengers were crowded on
one side, watching the boats and the paddle
wheel on the opposite side clear Of the
water One or two vessels had narrow escapes
from turning turtle.
Among the first to leave their docks the
Coney Island boats, temporarily withdrawn
from the regular service They went out espe-
cially crowded. The Grand Republic left the
Battery few minutes later with as many
aboard as could be carried without overcrowd-
ing. Then the General Putnam sailed. The
Richard Peck, one Of the 1eetest boats on the
Sound took out about one thousand passengers,
and was closely followed by the Plymouth, with
nearly fifteen hundred people. The Oceangoing
steamers Manhattan and City of Savannah also
took out all they could safely accommodate.
By . o'clock the Lower Bay was filled with
craft Of all description. Where the paths Of the
steamers from the two rivers COnYerged there

full handling of both boats aVerted a collision.
The race homeward for New-YOrk was led by
the Plymouth, the Richard Peck and the City Of
Havana. There was much excitement over the
race among the passengers. The Plymouth
reached her pier first, but would not have done
so had not the Peck several times brought her
engines to a full stop in order not to pass her.
This was because the Plymouth had to dock
first. Half way up the harbor the Plymouth ran
alongside the Erin, and Sir Thomas Upton was
cheered with great enthusiasm. 4 few minutes
later the same thing repeated by the pas
sengers of the Richard Peck.

result. and the wind had again fallen to its
lazy four or five knot gait.
Both yachts Slated along the starboard
tack without enough wind to I'LL their mainsails,
while the long roll from the sea spilled good
ly portion OF that little wind from their sails.
Half the time only the headsails We're drawing,
and long shivers Of emptiness ran up and down
the huge white wings. Soon afterward the
breeze seemed to haul a bit to westward SO
that both yachts slowed their jbs and head
sails and broke out balloon jibtopsails as the
beat had become reach by that time. The
observation feet had now reached the outer
mark, and were lined up to await the racers.
There was much consultation Of chronometers'
and all hands agreed that nothing short OF a
miracle in the way of wind could avert fiuke.
After the Reliance had come about finally for
the mark she seemed to catch a good slant OF
wind, and her sails filled for the first time in a
long hour. during part of which the flooding
tide actually seemed to carry her astern There
was a goodly outburst Of steam salutes from
the waiting tugs and steam yachts. and the
rival wireless companies licked off the tdings
through the clouds in sharp staccato. The com
lnittee boat at once stood back toward the Hook.
Part of the fleet followed the Reliance laid
her course for home and the rest awaited the
Shamrock's arrival The latter, however, seeing
that the Reliance could not finish, came about in
her wake as soon she met her, ran up her
signal for tow and the race was over.

the smoke of a hundred furnaces as the stoker5

miles The had been one more TO add to
the ancient and honorable list of fiukes, but the
day had its Consultations to the partisans of the
American boat, for the Shamrock had been
worsted in supposedly Shamrock weather.
To-day will be devoted to getting the racers in
trim for another attempt, and tomorrow yester-
days race fifteen miles to windward or4eeward
and return will be resailed.
