HAPPENINGSOF THE WEEK The Irrigation District and Its Bonds. Probability that the Securities Will be Pinced Satisfactorily on Tuesday Next - City Trustees - Water Company - Correspondence - Social News and Personal Mention. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District met in regular session on Tuesday morning. Present, Directors Korn, Porter and Stadtegger. Absent, Directors Ryan and Crowther. Reports from the Collector and Treasurer were received and filed. The Treasurer reported a balance on hand in favor of the district amounting to $4,535 06. Mr. Korn reported that he had, in company with the Secretary, visited Los Angeles to see about the printing of the new bonds, and that they would soon be ready for delivery. Communications received since the last meeting were read and filed. Bills amounting to $387 15 were audited and ordered paid. The board passed resolutions endorsing the action of the State Irrigation Convention at Sacramento, and approving all the proposed amendments to the Wright Act. A vote of thanks was tendered General Shanklin for his able representation of the Anaheim Irrigation District, and a check was drawn in the amount of $50 to help defray the expense of necessary bond legislation, the same to be forwarded to Hon. C. C. Wright at Sacramento. The Auditing Committee were authorized to have the books and records of the district examined, and to employ E. J. Pellegrin and C. E. Hotcomb as experts. The Secretary was instructed to prepare an inventory of district property. Adjourned. The board met on Friday last to open bids for the purchase of $300,000 of the district bonds. One bid had been received, that of the Security Savings Bank of Los Angeles. Previous to its opening W. F. Burnett, attorney for Geo. L. Arnold of the University Bank of Los Angeles, asked for the return of the check for $5,400 put in the Bank of Anaheim, as a guarantee of the sale of the bonds, by Mr. Arnold in November last. Mr. Arnold had contracted to sell $300,000 of the bonds at 90, and drew his check for $5,400 in favor of the district, according to members are admitted at every meeting. It is becoming more popular every day. Messrs. Neenno and Pierotti have cleaned up the roadside in front of their places and will set out olive tree, which will add materially to the beauty of their places, and also prove a source of income. I cannot understand why people will neglect cleaning the unsightly weeds and rubbish from the roadsides when it is so easy to do, and once cleaned a very little work will keep it so. There is nothing that adds more to the looks of a place or town than this, and it denotes theft. Most people seeking homes will select such localities, and thereby make land more valuable. Mr. Sandilanda is having an addition put on his house. He is expecting his mother and sister over from England. William Crowther is having some of his apple trees taken out. Mr. Anderson is having a substantial wire fence placed around the Rhorer orchard. Mr. Dunham, on the French place, is making improvements on the buildings. The school trustees are to have the school house and grounds photographed for the Orange county World's Fair Educational exhibit. WATER COMPANY. THE NEW BOARD INDUCTED INTO OFFICE—SUPERINTENDENT SHEPPARD'S FINE REMITTED. The Board of Director of the Anaheim Union Water Company met in regular session on Saturday last, the full board present. Superintendent Sheppard read his report on inventory of tools on hand. Filed. Bills to the amount of $1,609.25 were approved and ordered paid. The minutes of the day were read and adopted, and the board adjourned since die. Immediately upon adjournment the new board took their seats. There were present Directors Bottsford, Tuffree, McFadden, Rust, Zeyn, Kellogg and Amerige. Mr. McFadden was elected President of the board. Mr. Zeyn Vice-President and Mr. James Treasurer. For Secretary Mr. Amerige nominated Alex Wright. Mr. Zeyn nominated B.V. Garwood. The vote resulted, Garwood, 4; Wright, 3. Mr. Garwood was accordingly declared elected. Directors Rust, Bottsford and Kellogg were appointed a Finance Committee, and Directors McFadden and Zeyn a Law Committee, the latter having been cut down from three members to two.

The board met on Friday last to open bids for the purchase of $300,000 of the district bonds. One bid had been received, that of the Security Savings Bank of Los Angeles. Previous to its opening W. F. Burnett, attorney for Geo. L. Arnold of the University Bank of Los Angeles, asked for the return of the check for $5,400 put in the Bank of Anaheim, as a guarantee of the sale of the bonds, by Mr. Arnold in November last. Mr. Arnold had contracted to sell $300,000 of the bonds at 90, and drew his check for $5,400 in favor of the district, according to the terms of the contract. He was to sell the bonds subject to an expert examination of the district, and their endorsement by the Mortgage Insurance Companies of London. The examination was eminently satisfactory to his clients, but the suit against the district—dismissed last week by Judge Towner—caused the London insurance companies to withhold their consent to the sale. The sale was accordingly not made. Mr. Stadtegger held that the money had escaped to the district, but after a lengthy discussion, and on Judge Wilson's opinion to the effect that the district could not in equity hold the money, the check was returned. Mr. Arnold had had in a bid to be opened on Friday, but he withdraw it a short time before the opening of bids, leaving only one to be considered, that of the Security Savings Bank of Los Angeles. This bid was opened, and was found to be an offer to purchase $300,000 of the bonds at 90, subject to certain conditions, some of them not satisfactory to the board, one of them being that no money should be paid for the bonds until satisfactory title should have been acquired by the district of the water works and franchises in the district. The board went into executive session, and in consultation with the representatives of the bank offering to purchase the bonds, decided to reject the offer, another bid to be submitted by the same parties with the conditions satisfactory to the board. The board then adjourned to Tuesday, the 14th, at which time it is fully expected that a bid will be submitted that can be accepted. The capital seeking investment is from Chicago, and will probably be invested extensively in the irrigation bonds of the State. The representative of this capital has invested in Western and Pacific Coast securities not less than two hundred thousand dollars each month during the past two years. He is anxious to invest in bonds here and will no doubt submit a satisfactory bid at the meeting to be held next Tuesday. City Trustees: The Board of Trustees met in regular session in the City Hall on Tuesday evening. Present, Trustees Schindler, Pellegrin and Rust. In the absence of Chairman Witte, Trustee Schindler acted as President pro tempore. The report of the Committee on Public Improvements was received and filed. Also the report of the Special Committee on well boring was received and filed. Mr. des Granges reported that the city well commenced by him some months ago had been completed to 112 feet, and the same pierced. His bill for balance due for boring the well, amounting to $215 55, was ordered paid. It was ordered that all tramps arrested in the city limits be compelled to work out their fine on the public streets. The new law is a good one, and the festive tramp gentry given are due warning to keep Directors Bottsford, Tuffree, McFadden, Rust, Zeyn, Kellogg and Amorige. Mr. McFadden was elected President of the board, Mr. Zeyn Vice President and Mr. James Treasurer. For Secretary Mr. Amerige nominated Alex Wright, Mr. Zeyn nominated B. V. Garwood. The vote resulted, Garwood, 4; Wright, 3. Mr. Garwood was accordingly declared elected. Directors Rust, Bottsford and Kellogg were appointed a Finance Committee, and Directors McFadden and Zeyn a Law Committee, the latter having been cut down from three members to two. The board decided to go on a tour of inspection of the ditch, without pay. Directors Rust Kellogg and Tuffree were appointed a committee to revise the rules and regulations governing the Superintendent and zanjeros. Directors Rust and Amerige were appointed a committee on revising rules for distribution of water. The salaries for Superintendent and zanjeros were fixed at the same rate as last year, viz., Superintendent, $100 per month; Zanjero for North Amaheim, $80; Zanjero for Anaheim, $70. Applications for the positions will be advertised for, the applicants to state the price they will work for. The report of Messrs. Melrose and Patterson on the Ryan note was made as follows: To the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company: Gentlemen—Your committee, to whom was referred that portion of the Auditing Committee's report dealing with a certain note which has been paid by the company and not surrendered, respectfully report the facts to be as follows: On the 20th day of February, 1892, Mr. F. G. Ryan was the owner of a note for $3,000 made by the company to himself, and of a note for $1,000 made by the company to J. Helmsen, and which had passed to said Ryan by assignment. That on said date, at the request of Mr. Ryan, a warrant for $4,055.55 was drawn in favor of Mr. Ryan in payment of said notes and the interest accrued thereon, and the Secretary thereupon stamped the word "cancelled" opposite the entries of said note in the "Bills Payable" book. That on or about the 6th day of April, 1892, said warrant was delivered to Mr. Ryan, and at the same time a promissory note of the company for $4,000 in Mr. Ryan's favor was given to him, and in consideration therefor he endorsed the said warrant to the Secretary (receiving from him the sum of $55.55 in cash), surrendering the $3,000 note, but retained possession of the $1,000 note, and in lieu of surrendering the same, endorsed upon the $4,000 note the receipt of $1,000. From the foregoing facts it will be seen that, although the company has received full consideration for the note of $4,000 given to Mr. Ryan yet the books and the facts do not correspond in this; first there is an outstanding note of the company for $1,000 which the records of the company show has been paid, and which was in fact paid; second there is an outstanding note of the company for $4,000 upon which a payment of $1,000 is endorsed, but which payment is not shown by the records of the company, and which payment was not in fact made. Respectfully submitted. RICHARD MELOSE, J. W. PATTESSON, Committee. The report was received and filed. Mr. Ryan was requested to return the two notes and take a new one at 8 per cent, or failing that, to call and get his warrant for the money.

His bill for balance due for boring the well, amounting to $215 55, was ordered paid. It was ordered that all tramps arrested in the city limits be compelled to work out their fine on the public streets. The new law is a good one, and the festive trump gentry given are due warning to keep away from this city. The sum of $1 58 paid for taxes by W. A. Frantz was ordered refunded, on account of double assessment. The matter of clearing the city well of sand was left to the Committee on Public Improvements. The chuckholes on Center street, between the Opera-house and the Santa Fe depot, will be filled up. The matter of appointing Mr. Latthefield's successor was postponed to some future date. The matter of repairing the levee at the Olive bridge, where some malicious person recently attempted to destroy it, was discussed. The cost of repairing the same will be about $100, and it was the sepa of the council that the levee ought to be repaired as soon as possible. Adjourned. Band Music. The following programme will be performed by the Fullerton Band at their ball in Chadbourno's Hall to-morrow evening: 1. Overture, "Caprice"...L. Frederic 2. Song for barytone, "Senora"...G.

The rain is the cause of it, and well they may smile. It insures good crops and a prosperous year and good prices for products. Tree setting will soon commence in earnest. Mr. Bassian is setting out an orange orchard on his upper place. Potato planting is in order this month. I understand the Farmers' Union have purchased a carload of potatoes to plant. Cabbage is looking extremely fine and is commencing to be cut and shipped. The first oranges to move are Mr. Rhorer's (the owner of the Littlefield ranch). The Earl Fruit Company are handling them. The fruit is very fine. The Farmers' Union is forging ahead; new The report was received and filed. Mr. Ryan was requested to return the two notes and take a new one at 8 per cent, or failing in that, to call and get his warrant for the money. Communications were received from various parties in reference to notes. Referred to the Finance Committee. Superintendent Sheppard addressed the board in the matter of the fine of $25 imposed upon him some weeks ago. The board decided, on motion of Col. Tuffree, to remit the same. The old committee on right of way was resappointed. Directors Bottsford and Rust were appointed a committee to fix tariffs. Adjourned West Annhelm. Only those located on sandy soil need more rain. Barley fields look green as in June in the East. The old Alamitos road has been turned into the section line west of Mr. Ball's. Teams are plowing in all directions for beets, and this part of the country is blooming like the rose of Sharon. Mr. Gillison is doing all that time and team will let him do in turning over the soil. J. F. Rankin of Burggettown, Illinois, has been a visitor at Mr. Tyles. He is very much pleased with our California winter. He is an old neighbor of Mr. Marah's. Mr. Tyle is putting his building in good shape and is laying out his land for a fine residence in the near future. Mr. Stevens and highly respected family have one of the neatest cottages built in the last year in our fast growing section of country. Mr. Marsh will put in eight acres of beets in time for the beet sugar factory this year. This is the time when you can appreciate a good pair of shoes. So if you need any sure and call on Stern & Goodman, Fullerton. They keep the best. Such as Buckingham & Hecht and Porter & Slessinger.

Mushrooms are gathered in large quantities in different sections west of town, and make a dish calculated to tickle the palate of the average bon-vo-vang. Fred Crist has just received a fashionable invoice of spring and summer goods, and would be pleased to have his patrons call and inspect the same. Public Administrator Ey has applied for Letters of administration in the estate of Fred V. Baron, deceased. The effects are a small sum of money in bank and the clothing of deceased. Stephen Kistler has purchased the lot on the corner of Center and Hermino streets from Frank Ey, and will shortly begin the erection of a two-story brick building, to be used as a bakery and residence. The material of the late lamented Fullerton Journal, consisting of a Washington hand press, jobber, a few cases of type, chasse, etc., will be sold at auction on Saturday next at Constable's sale. The Southern Pacific has issued a neat time table, giving the time of arrival and departure of trains at this point, which travelers will find of value as a handy pocket reference. Get one from the agent, T. A. Darling. The German Dramatic Company of Los Angeles presented "Marianne" at the Opera house to a good audience on Saturday evening. The performance was very much enjoyed by the audience, who speak in high terms of praise of the company. Charley Albrecht is giving his attention to turning out some fine specimens of carpenter work. He has lately constructed a counter and ice chest for Roman Weisser's establishment, both of which reflect credit upon his ability as an artistic workman. While Mr. Weisel's carriage was standing in front of Dickel's store last Thursday afternoon a sneak-thief came along and made away with the buggy robe. This is the first theft of the character ever perpetrated here during the day time. Mr. Perry is preparing to begin another fumigating campaign for the extermination of the scale. The fumigators are at work in Otto Rust's orchard, and will proceed thence to various scale infected orchards in the valley. Our orchardists are determined to get rid of the scale at all times. 2,894 acres deeded into the corporation, the deeds to be given as security for the funds necessary to erect the factory. Three thousand acres are necessary before work can commence, but the officers of the company feel quite confident of securing all that is necessary. As soon as work commences on the building, Anaheim will surely begin to boom. We wish the very best of success to our neighbor, the 'mother colony." A gang of men are at work grading and graveling the road between this city and the Olive bridge. The annual meeting of stockholders in the cooperative sugar refinery will be held at Kroger's Hall next Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. A Board of Directors to serve for the ensuing year will be elected and such other business transactions as may come before the meeting. A large attendance of stockholders should be present. C. J. Goucher of Long Beach, one of the Trustees of that thriving city, was in town yesterday on a short business trip. Mr. Goucher is an extensive lumber dealer, and is here for the purpose of giving the sugar refinery the latest scheduled rates on lumber as well as putting in a bid for the new electric light posts to be put in here. He will depart for his home this morning. The case of M. A. Anderson et al., vs. P. A. Stanton, an action to recover $40 due upon a promissory note, which was appealed from Justice Austin's court, came up for hearing before Judge Wade in the Superior Court in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and it appearing that the defendant was under age when he signed the nete, judgment was ordered in his favor. Gene D. Wright has sold his place of fourteen acres east of town to W. A. Thomas and M. J. Shackelford, recently from York, Nebraska, and has taken his departure for the latter place, where he will go into the milling business with his father. The consideration is $10,000. The purchasers will begin the erection of a commodious dwelling and will make other substantial improvements. Mr. Wright leaves Anaheim reluctantly, having made many warm friends during his four years residence here. It is altogether probable that he will return as soon as he closes out his interests in Nebraska. The editor of the Los Angeles Hotel Gazette was with us on the occasion of the recent editorial visit, and this is what he has to say regarding the lunch served by the ladies of this city: "Did you ever enter a banquet room decorated with orange trees in full boaring, with a grove of the same on the stage, from the midst of which sweet strains of music? Such was the personal melange." H. W. Chynoweth has been appointed New Public. J. W. J. Culton was in from his walk grove below town on Tuesday. Miss Jettie Arthur is visiting with friend in this city, the guest of Mrs. Rust. Dr. Bullard's father arrived last week from Boston, to remain on a short visit. Mrs. Gustav Heimann is down from Angeles on a visit to friends and relatives this city. Mr. Fowler went up to Los Angeles terday on business connected with the sunday factory. Messrs. W. A. Witte and Theo. W went down to San Diego on Monday on pleasure trip, to remain a few days. Mr. Rutledge departed with his family last week for Los Angeles, where he will future reside. Mrs. Richards of San Gabriel visited him a few days last week, the guest of Ms. Adolph Rimpau. Deputy Sheriff Jim Buckley was on from Santa Ana last Saturday on a shine business visit. Miss Minnie Zeyn spent several days pleasantly at Riverside last week, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Becher. Mrs. Sorenson was down from Los Angeles several days last week, the guest of Mrs. Armbruster. J. B. McPherson of the paper firm Blake, Cochairman & Towner of Los Angeles, was in town one day last week and dropped to see us. Charles A. Rice'of San Diego, representing the well-known house of Klauber Levi of that city, was in town yesterday after the interests of his firm. Wm. Hinck, representing A. Franke thall & Bros., shire and overall manufacturers of St. Louis, was in town Sunday combining business with pleasure. W. H.

Frank Schaumburger contemplates taking his departure for Riverside shortly here. While Mr. Wessel's carriage was standing in front of Dickel's store last Thursday afternoon a sneak-thief came along and made away with the buggy robe. This is the first theft of the character ever perpetrated here during the day time. Mr. Perry is preparing to begin another fumigating campaign for the extermination of the scale. The furnigators are at work in Otto Kust's orchard, and will proceed thence to various scale infected orchards in the valley. Our orchardists are determined to get rid of the scale at all costs, and will have the cleanest trees in the citrus belt. Albert Smith has sold his twenty-acre ranch in Placentia to a Mr. Rogers of Santa Ana; consideration $6,000. Al is as yet undecided as to what business he will embark on, but it is probable he will make other real estate purchases in this community in the near future. John Schauman has on exhibition at his shop a beet seeder and cultivator, which are of his own design. The machines work to perfection and there is no reason to doubt that they will be of great benefit to beet raisers. Mr. Schauman has already several orders for the machines. Farmers are invited to call and examine the implements at their convenience. The masquerade ball given by the Fullerton brass band occurs at Chadbourne's Hall to-morrow evening. There will probably be a crowded house as spectators, and the floor filled with maskors. The boys have gone to great pains to make the ball one long to be remembered, and will see that every one in attendance will have a thoroughly enjoyable time. Quite a crowd will go over from this city to be with them. It about took our breath away last Monday to read in the Santa Ana correspondence of a Los Angeles paper that the sum of $190,275 had been paid out by Orange county for coyote scals during last year. The editorial equanimity was restored, however, when the amount was found to be $5,045, instead of the other inconceivable sum. Queer mistakes got into the newspapers sometimes. Messra, D. Raab & Son are the promoters of the Centralia creamery, mention of which has been made in these columns. They are enterprising business men, and will doubtless make a success of their new venture. The company have purchased land in Centralia and will at once put up buildings and machinery for the manufacture of butter for the market. The capacity of the creamy will be about one thousand pounds of butter per week. The ball to be given by the Native Daughters takes place at the Opera-house next Monday evening (St. Valentine's Eve.) The young ladies are making every preparation to insure a delightful time, and they will doubtless meet with their usual success. The indications are that the ball will be largely attended, it being the last before the Lenten season. The ladies of St. Michael's Guila will serve refreshments. The Fullerton boys are splitting their sides with laughter over the ridiculous predicament in which one of the denizens of that burg had the bad luck to be discovered one day last week. The gentilman was The editor of the Los Angeles Hotel Gazette was with us on the occasion of the recent editorial visit, and this is what he has to say regarding the lunch served by the ladies of this city: "Did you ever enter a banquet room decorated with orange trees in full boaring, with a grove of the same on the stage, from the midst of which came sweet strains of music? Such was the experience of the editors who partook of the hospitality of Anaeheim during the recent session of the Editorial Association of Southern California in Orange county. It was a sight saloon seen and one which will long linger in the memory of the writer, together with visions of bright and happy faces—a feast fit for 'the gods' and mental papulum galore." M.E. Robins of Los Angeles, a recent arrival from Chicago, was in town on Tuesday afternoon, in company with Mr. Sloan of Buena Park, and made a pleasant call at this office. Mr. Robins is of the opinion that we shall have a large immigration hitherward directly after the close of World's Fair, the California building at which he pronounces one of the most imposing on the Fair grounds. More attention will thus be directed to California, and especially he thinks to Southern California, than ever, and this section will reap large benefits from the immigration, who will all be of the better and more wealthy class. Mr. Robins is in the commission business in Los Angeles and is rapidly building up a large trade. The Sentious Brothers, wholesale butchers of Los Angeles, are preparing to ship two thousand head of Mexican cattle to this section for pasture on the Alamitos. Eighteen carloads of the stock reached here a couple of weeks ago, and another trainload is expected daily. The stock is bought in Sonora, and on account of the drought sell for only sixty cents a head. Thousands of cattle are dying in that country, and owners are willing to take almost anything for the stock to get them off their hands. It costs about $5 a head to get the cattle here, the Southern Pacific Railroad having made a low or "starving cattle" rate. The bees are driven from Sonora to Tucson, whence they are shipped to this point. They are very poor, but will doubtless fatten up on the lush grasses of the Alamitos. They will be fattened for the Los Angeles market. The Los Angeles Baseball Club, winners of last season's pennant, will during the coming year be under the control of Manager Lindley, the well-known Los Angeles baseball magnate. The team will be captained by Glenalvin of last year's team, and will be fully as strong as that splendid aggregation of baseball talent, and altogether able to land the pennant in the Angelo City. Every baseball crank in Orange county is with Manager Lindley and his team, and they hope to see him break away in the lead, and maintain the same until the boys are out of sight at the end of the season. May the boys never make an error, but the ball, and be as speedy on the paths as a bunch of policemen going off duty. Play ball! The ten-round clove argument between W.H. Tedford of Newport has begun proceedings for a divorce against his wife. The couple have been married thirty years and are well-known residents of Newport. Fred Koerner left yesterday for San Maria, Santa Barbara county, where he will open a photograph gallery. He carries with him the best wishes of a host of friends. Frank Schaumburger contemplates taking his departure for Riverside shortly, when he expects to take up his permanent residence. We are sorry to lose him, but hope to see him back in Anaeheim again. C.E. Holcomb of Fullerton was in town Monday afternoon and dropped in to see us. He reports everything flourishing over his way, and the country looking very fine since the rain. Rev. George E. Dye of the Santa Anna Baptist Church delivered a short prelude to his sermon last Sunday evening on "Priory fighting and theatre comiques, or Santa Ana and Anaeheim disgraced." Julius Schneider went over to San Benito nardino last Saturday to be in attendance at the institution of an order of the Knight of the Maccabees at that place. He reports having had a way up time. A letter from Oscar Luedke to his folks here brings information that his health is much improved since his arrival at Yuma. He has thrown his medicine bottles out at the window, and will rely principally on the climate of the Territory to restore his health. They say Mr. Capitain talks in his sleep He says, "Another ten shares! Good by by." He down on the first train in the morning. He is engrossed in the sugar refinery, while would never have been a possibility but for his untiring endeavors. Mike Crowley was in town on Saturday driving his fiery unattumed nag Maud S. Mike is going into the chicken business externally, and has likely put up a chicken house that is envy of all his neighbors. District Attorney Scarborough was in town yesterday on professional business. He will probably go to Sacramento on Saturday for the purpose of inducing the Legislature to come to the relief of our present over worked county officials. Madame D.I. Corona de Weihs will be at the St. George Hotel, Fullerton, all day to morrow for the purpose of renting costume for the band boys' masquerade at Chadbourne's Hall to-morrow evening. She brings with her a very fine collection of costumes and will rent them at reasonable rates. Time Lynch having recently had the distinction to plow in one of the ditches on water company which crossed through his property contrary to his wishes, and she company declaring its intention of opening the same, is at present of the opinion that he will erect a four by six single story structure at the point of ditch entry, and labeling the same "Dynamite for Sale." Price not stated.

The gentleman was known to be possessed of a fondness for eggs at his meals, but no one suspected that he would ever think of gathering them up and putting them in his coat tail pocket, only to have them amashed soon after by a vigorous slap in that region. This is a cold and cruel world, and they say the Fullerton man will never smile again. —The Board of Directors of the irrigation district met on Monday to canvass the vote polled at the recent district election.

There have already been, according to the Gazette, Manager Lindley, the well-known Los Angeles baseball magnate. The team will be captained by Glenalvin of last year's team, and will be fully as strong as that splendid aggregation of baseball talent, and altogether able to land the pennant in the Angelio City. Every baseball crank in Orange county is with Manager Lindley and his team, and they hope to see him break away in the lead, and maintain the same until the boys are out of sight at the end of the season. May the boys never make an error, hit the ball, and be as speedy on the paths as a bunch of policemen going off duty. Play ball! —The ten-round glove argument between Mr. William Kennedy of San Francisco and Professor Lymburner of Boston, at the Opera-house last Monday evening, had progressed most amicably up to and including the second round, when the agile Professor, watch worn and weary, and with red patches on his cuticle, evidencing the frequency of the visit of the Kennedy first, announced his purpose of retiring once and for all time from the ring. There was not enough collateral of the realm in the house, he said, to warrant him going ahead and taking chances of sustaining another fracture of the superior maxillary of the jaw, which judging by the fitful fire and the flash in the Kennedy eye, were as good as desperate, if not better. The Professor was out-closed in height, raché, weight, driving power and scientific acumen, and was consequently not in it to any extent appreciable to the maked eye. Kennedy, on the other hand, a very likely lad, clever and hard bitting, was prepared to carry out the terms of the contract without regard to the jaw-bone of his distinguished adversary; and he seemed in every way capable of arguing his side of the question to a favorable conclusion. When the Professor, therefore, announced his intention of retiring, the select assemblage of sports in attendance voted him possessed of uncommon good sense, with better luck next time. The Professor declares he will never enter the ring again. A note to the sporting editor conveys the information that he will enter the lecture field. Previous to the discussion there were friendly bouts between Griffin of Redlands and Prof. Howard of San Francisco, and the former and Mr. Conners of Fullerton. The entertainment closed with a three-round go between Kennedy and Griffin, the assomblage having raised $25 for that purpose. Kennedy showed himself to be the superior of the two, and was awarded the purse. There is talk of a contest to a finish between the two at some date in the near future. Time Lynch having recently had the distinction to plow in one of the ditches on the water company contrary to his wishes, and this company declaring its intention of opening the same is at present of the opinion that he will erect a four by six single story structure at the point of ditch entry, and labeling the same "Dynamite for Sale." Price no stated. Fritz Ruhman entertained a number of his friends at his home on Los Angeles street Sunday evening, the occasion being the anniversary of his birthday. Fritz is one of the best entertainers in the land, and his endeavors to please his friends on this occasion were crowned with success. Although he is getting well along in the fifth he is as spry as a lark and getting better looking every day. A.D.Hawks of Sierra Madre, brother of the well-known type founder Nelson C Hawkins of San Francisco was in Anaheim on Monday and made a pleasant call at this office. Mr. Hawks is at present engaged in raising oranges in the San Gabriel foothills but was formerly for many years engaged in the type founding business, and is still seated on a keen interest in the art preservative. After remaining in town during the afternoon he took his departure for his hometown on the Belt Line Express. Mrs. Sandilands mother of our well-known fellow citizen Forbes B. Sandilands arrived in New York from London on the steamer Teutonic last week and is expected to arrive in Anaheim this morning on visit to her son She is accompanied by her daughter and niece. The Teutonic is the same vessel on which Messrs. Sandilands and Lieut. Halpin came over last year Mrs. Sandilands will probably remain some weeks with her son on his orange farm at Placentia. Sport Wetzel and Gib Landell went up to Los Angeles last Friday night to pull in their tag of war between the South Regina team against the policemen. The boys weighed much less than the cops but they had Hutchinson in the harness—whom Spor pronounces the finest anchorman in the land There were eight on each side, and it just took the boys two minutes and a half to pull the cops over. The cops went over the cleats so fast that it resembled a squad of policemen going off duty. Sport and Gib were the huns of the hour for a short time and the Los Angeles boys entertained their royally after the show. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ISAAC LYONS, ...DEALER IN... Groceries, -:- Provisions!
