THE ROCKLIN PICNIC.
Under the auspices of Kocklin Lodge, No.
196, A. O. U. W.. a picnic was held at Work
men's Grove, near Kocklin, yesterday, in honor
of the anniversary of the Lodge. There were
representatives of the Ancient Order of Work
men present from Sacramento (two Lodges),
Rocklin, Colfax, Auburn, Newcastle, Lin
coln and Folsom. There were also present
a go idly number of members of the American
Legion of Honor and Knights of Honor.
Light full cars conveyed the Sacramento
delegation to the grounds, which were reached
about 11 A. M , the train leaving Sacramento
at 9a. H. The up-country delegations were
i already on the ground when the Sacramento
people arrived. The picnic grounds consist
of twenty acres of pine grove. To the north,
east and west beautiful oak-shaded rolling
hills afford full opportunity for woodland
rambles for miles, and pasture lands adjacent
to the grove, well shaded with fine oaks, con
stitute an enlargement of the grounds.
Rocklin Lodge, which has a lease of the
grounds, has erected thereon a dancing plat
form, 10 by 00 feet, with a canvas cover 40
by M) feet. The grounds are well grassed,
..nd had the picnic been held two weeks
earlier they would have been found greener
and in far better condition, but unavoidable
circumstances prevented that. The Lodge
had in charge of the grounds these commit
tees: Arrangements, A. H. Curtis, John
Sweeney, W. F. Schnetze, John Davis, I.
Levieon ; on games, G. W. Rowland, John
Davis, Cady of Union, and Blank of Sacra
mento Lodges, of Sacramento ; on water
and ice, W. V, Scheutze ; on floor manage
ment, A. Davis, S. Wentworth, R. Nixon,
J. Haney. These committees proved prompt
and efficient in every respect, and so far as
was in their power, the picuic was made a
success. It was a drawback that a heavy
norther prevailed all day. Had it been a
southerly breeze, the attendance would un
doubtedly have been larger. As it was,
fully 2,000 people- were upon the grounds.
At the outset an oration was delivered hy E.
M. Reading, of San Francisco, Master
Workman, (i. W. Rowland acting as Presi
dent of the Day. Dancing was then in
augurated, to the music of the First Artil
lery Band, and - continued throughout the
day, to the calling of I. B. K. Church. Oae
thing that Sacramentans especially enj ryed
was the bountiful simply of Blue Canyon
water, well iced. On the north of tho
grounds a beautiful stream of clear water
runs, and this for some two miles was the
favorite resort of fern hunters, who were re
warded by finding the finest possible speci
mens of the " Maiden Hair " fern, the
fronds being young, beautifully green and
very vigorous. Racing by youths and adults
was indulged in, and prizes awarded to the
successful contestants.
Refreshments were to be had in quantity
of Peterson, who was the caterer for the oc
casion, and teams were on hand for all who
desired to make brief trips into the surround
ing country. Aside from the north wind the
only thing that marred the pleasure of the
day was the late return. The train came
back as the fifth wheel to a slow and delayed
freight train, and few of the Sacramento
people reached their homes before half-past
8 last night.
" The Eqijescukriccldm." — A good many
people have puzzled their brains over the
above title in the Kecord-Union advertising
columns. It was solved at Sixteenth and X
streets last night in a capacious circus tent,
where James Mcl'ue presented a novel and
interesting performance. It consisted of
three very well-trained horse*, Americus by
Monday, Ralston of Hamilton stock, and
Lincoln, a Messenger. The first horse has
been in training but five, and the others, one
being two and one three years old, but eight
months, but they are obedient in the com
pit teat sense, and do tricks that are remark
ably clever. They are handsome, well
trained animals, and seem to have been con
quered by the power if kindness alone.
McCue bandies them exceedingly well. Be
tween the exhibitions of the three horses, the
two last performing together, there was
tumbling by a very clever clown and two
good acrobats, exhibitions of strength by
Mons. Milo — of the iron jaw — trapeze
exercises by a graceful woman, Miss Pauline,
remarkable lilting and swinging of great
weights by a second strong man, some com
ical acts by the clown and assistants, the
tricks of a learned pig, a double trapeze act
by Pauline and Leporeui), a final act of
strength by Milo, and a second exhibition by
the horse Americus. It is a good circus, on
a limited scale, without ring riding, but has
the added attraction of three trained horses
that, if taught in the tim? stated, are very
remarkable animals. A matinee this after
noon and a final performance to-night.
HiMOROis Lecture To-Night. Eli Per
kins, the well-known humorist and lecturer,
will arrive from the East this morning and
deliver a lecture at the Congregational
Church in this city thii evening. His subject
will be " The Philosophy of Fun and the
Perkins Family." This is pronounced by
the press at the East as a great success, and
enjoyable as witty and laughter-producing to
the highest degree. It is announced that
the lecturer will commence at 8 o'clock,
sharp, and continue till somebody requests
him to stop." Admission, 50 cents.
Y. M. C. A. — Services will be conducted
to-morrow under the auspices of the Young
Men's Christian Association, at 9:30 A. M., at
the Presbyterian Church by Christian work
ers, at 3:30 P. 51. at the Congregational
Church, and at 7:30 p. it. at the Sixth-street
Methodist and Ninth-street Baptist Churches.
The meetings will be addressed by Messrs.
Whittle and McCoy.
Late Arrests. — The following names were
on the slate at the police station at 12 o'clcok
last night : John Kelly, a lodger ; Charles
Fagan, for battery, by officer Jackson.
Westman's Circus .— Equescurricnlum
and Equine Paradox for a name is simply
horrible, and the only unpleasant thing about
the show. We call it a circu*, and "till it
isn't a circus, as there is no riding. But the
horses are a show of themselves. The bay
horse Americus surpasses all horses ever ex
hibited here in point of intelligence and train
ing. He is a stallion, only four years old,
and while he seems to be vicious, his trainer
seems to control bim at will, and make him
do all that a horse is capable ot doing, while
the colts, two and three years old, are the
best controlled animals of their age that were
ever on exhibition. The learned p ! g " sur
passes all animals for intelligence. The tra
peze performance is good, but the tumbling
of Joe Petty is the best we have ever seen.
Take it all in all we must call it a first-class
show, and well worth the money. They give
a matinee at 2 P. M. to-day, and again to
night. The admission is only 50 cents for
grown persons and 25 cents for children. Go
and see them and see what horses can do. *
" Why is it that the Fulton Market, Fifth
and X streets, is haudlirg such immense
quantities of strawberries?" It is this: Their
large trade enables them to clean up every
day. The people can rely that the berries
bought from this market are fresh, aid the
best in the market. *
Shrimps. — Fresh shrimps, crabs, lobsters,
and the best assortment of fresh and salt
water fish that can be had, are received daily
at De Bernardi & Co.'s, 308 and 310 X st. *

A few days ago a squaw named Maggie
disappeared from the camp out in the val
ley, and the Indians can get no trace of
her. Her loving buck is sadly demoralized,
and has hunted his missing spouse in every
direction, but fails to find her. She is a
Piute squaw, and came from Reno a year
or two ago, and it is probable that she has
gone back to her native laud.— [Plumas

Charles E. Greene, of Piainfield, was in
town yesterday. He informs us that the
crops in his vicinity are looking very well,
as far as the summer fallow is concerned.
Mr. Greene thinks the fallowed grain will
average 25 bushels to the acre throughout
the county. In his section the proportion
of summer-fallowed grain to the winter
sown is about one acre in ten. — [Woodland

But a short time ago a tree was cut down
on the ranch of Henry Silver, two miles
from Chico, which pales the famous Colusa
county tree into a mere sapling. The mon
arch was brought down by George Hand,
who worked seven days to grub it out. It
measured eight feet and a half in diameter
at the stump. Two men worked three
weeks continuously in converting it into
cord- wood. It produced twelve cords of
four-foot wood, forty tiers of two-foot
wood, and twenty-five tiers of sixteen-inch
stove-wood, besides a huge pile of rough
wood, branches, and bark, which was
burned up on the ground. The tree con
tained fifty pounds of delicious honey. —

Why Eli Perkins Became a Lect
urer and Writer.— l studied law once
in the Washington Law School. In fact,
I was admitted to the bar. I shall never
forget my first case. Neither will my
client. I was called upon to defend a
young man for passing counterfeit money.
I knew the young man was innocent, be
cause I lent him the money that caused
him to be arrested. Well, there was a
hard feeling against the young man in the
county, and I pleaded for a change of
venue. I made a great plea for it. I can
remember, even now, how fine it was. It
was filled with choice rhetoric and passion
ate oratory. I quoted Kent and Black
stone and Littleton, and cited precedent
after precedent from the Digest of State
Reports. I wound up with a tremendous
argument, amid the applause of all the
younger members of the bar. Then, san
guine of success. I stood up and awaited
the Judge's decision. It soon came. The
Judge looked me full in the face and said :
" Your argument is good, Mr. Perkins,
very good, and I've been deeply interested
in it, and when a case comes up that your
argument fits, I shall give your remarks
all the consideration that they merit. Sit
down '." This is why I gave np law and
resorted to lecturing and writing for the
newspapers. — [Eli, in the New York Sun.
What is Pure
BAKING POWDER?
Cream of Tartar and Bi-
carbonate Soda.
-DrOT-EEXSB'O' HI.SB.
I
Before BAKING POWDERS were made
or thought of, Cream of Tartar and Soda
were used in every household for bread
raising. Their nse would have continued to
this day, were it not for the difficulty of
obtaining these ingredients pure.
Cream of Tartar is often adulterated with
CHALK, ALUM, CLAY, PLASTER OF
PARIS and other INJURIOUS MIXT-
URES, and SODA with COMMON SALT.
Owing to this the housekeeper found it im-
possible to depend upon what was procurable.
The Bread was constantly varying in taste
and was generally unsatisfactory.
Then Baking or Yeast Powders began to
be compounded, and found ready sale. Manu-
facturers pushed the resources of the Chem-
ist to the utmost to find out CHEAP SUB-
STITUTES FOR CREAM OF TARTAR.
Some manufacturers put out Baking Powders
composed of some of the following ingre-
dients: ALUM, PHOSPHATES, LIME,
TARTARIC ACID, MURIATE OF AM-
MONIA ; and add STARCH. FLOUR and
TERRA ALBA to give the mixture bulk
and weight, and at the same time preserve
the appearance of an honest powder.
The only merit of these powders is their
raising properties, and on these the manu-
facturers lay great stress. They do not make
good bread, and the ingredients have been
proved to be positively injurious. WHO
WILL KNOWINGLY USE SUuH AT
THE EXPENSE OF HEALTH?
Other manufacturers, more careful of their
reputation, make Baking Powders of Cream
of Tartar and Soda, and add Flour and
Starch for the purpose of CHEAPENING,
which of course impairs the strength. These
they call "necessary preserves," and they
loudly claim that their powders possess NO
INJURIOUS QUALITIES.
On one point all the manu-
facturers agree. They claim
that their powder is PURE,
STRICTLY PURE, ABSO-
LUTELY PURE, UNIVER-
SALLY PURE ; but
PURE WHAT?
To prove their assertions many publish
testimonials — extracts from paid advertise-
ments. They advertise chemical analyses,
showing amount of gas evolved in passing a
given point, and a vast amount of pleasant
and very readable matter which has nothing
whatever to do with the subject. -
Which one of these by any accident tells
of what their Baking Powder is composed
Perhaps if they did the cheapness of the ma-
terials used would be quite as much of a
revelation to consumers as the materials
themselves. WHY DO THEY NOT PUB-
LISH THEM?
From the beginning up to the present time
the Baking Powder business has been largely
a REPETITION OF MISREPRESENTA-
TION and FRAUD, and we look for any
amount of virtuous indignation at our giv-
ing it away to the public. But if it stop, in
part only, the use of some of the VILE
MIXTURES for food purposes, we will con-
sider ourselves well paid.
The ease and cheapness with
which adulterated Powders
can be made, and the conse-
quent large profits, will justify
any amount of advertising if
the people can only be in-
duced to buy them.
Nothing has yet been found to take the
place of Cream of Tattar and Soda in a pure
Baking Powder, in wholesomeness, strength
and ttii_;iency.
TI I NEW ENGLAND BAKING POW-
DER is made on this principle. It is com-
wed of Cream of Tartar and Soda of the
highest grade and nothing else. WE
CLAIM NO SECRET PROCESS. Our pow-
der is combined in proper proportions, thor-
oughly mixed by Steam Power, so that in
using the smallest quantities the proportions
are ALWAYS THE SAME.
It is kiln-dried at a given temperature, so
that all moisture is expelled. (Soda and
Cream of (Tartar combined without careful
drying before packing will effervesce and de-
teriorate in strength.) Then the powder is
put at occe in tins air tight, and will keep
for years in any climate without deteriorat-
ing or hardening.
It is packed in tins ot 4 oz., 8 oz., 12 and
16 oz., FULL NET WEIGHT.
With these ingredients, pure, anybody
can make just as good a Baking Powder as
the NEW ENGLAND, PROVIDED always
they use the same proportions and quality of
material, and take the same care that we do.
We warrant our powder to be exactly as
we represent it.
WE INVITE CHEMICAL ANLYSIS
and the most rigid examination. IT WILL
STAND THE lODINE TEST, which some
manufactures so decry and ridicule, but which,
nevertheless, will expose Starch and Flour
when used.
WE ASK FOR PRACTICAL TRIALS
by housekeepers in comparison with any
other powder, and we know the result will be
a verdict in favor of the NEW ENGLAND
POWDER.
Mr IF HOUSEKEEPERS AT A
DISTANCE ARE UNABLE TO
PROCURE THE NEW ENGLAND
BAKING POWDER, WE WILL
GLADLY FORWARD SAMPLES
FREE ON RECEIPT OF ADDRESS,
AND MENTIONING THIS PAPER.
To those who prefer to use Cream of Tar-
tar and Soda in the old-fashioned way we
offer our brands of each, which we warrant
to be pure. They are packed in lit. pack-
ages, net weight.
It has been said to ua that we could not
succeed in selling Pure Baking Powder, Pure
Soda, Pure Cream of Tartar ; that Califor-
nia's would not pay for them.
Our experience has been different. We
have now been packing these goods for some
time, and IT IS NO EXPERIMENT. By
the slow process of one telling another, our
sales have been constantly increasing, and we
now propose to see what AN OPEN STATE-
MENT OF FACTS will do. It will at any
rate let the public know that PURE GOODS
CAN BE OBTAINED AND WHERE TO
GET THEM.
