The fine wax figure which was draped and used as representing " < !harity " in the Congregational Church iloral exhibit at the festival, and much admired, was from the establishment of Mrs. <;. F. Aaron, on J street. General Bidwell states in a card pub lished in the Chico Cftronkle. m the !!or.;l pieces credited to him in the festival ex hibits should have been given as < hieb's offerings, as the iadies of that place a.-i well as himself were contributors to it. Cal. Duden, of Latrobe, walked five miles or more in the hills to secure a line collec tion of ferns, which he sent to the Floral Festival. Mr. Berry, of Shingle Springs, and Mi-. Bonner, of Niles, each sent choice flowers, and Mr. Galego, of Alameda, con tributed ivy and fine flowers. All these were scut to Mrs. C. H. Cumruings, in charge of the Bric-a-Brac display, and were prominently used upon the design shown by that organization. The ladies of Oleta sent to the festival a beautiful floral design, which in the multitude of pieces has heretofore escaped notice. They supplemented their offering by a large collection of (lowers for decora tive purposes. No testimonials were of more interest or commanded more atten tion than those which came from other towns and the outside country, for they all testified to sincerity and to extraordinary labor and sacrifice to prepare them and e;ct them to Sacramento in good condition. The Oleta ladies, for instance, began work at o o'clock in the morning in order to <\irry out tin ir design and keep it in a fresh state. Recreation Grounds. To-morrow the new Recreation Grounds a! Sixteenth and 1" street-; will be opened. The parties who have leased the same bare fitted them up in a thorough manner for athletic sports, and they are probably equal, if not superior, to any in the State. The main entrance is on Sixteenth street. The grand stand, built like that ;ii Agricultural Park, is on the li;fr, and sufficiently com modious for 1,000 people to be seated, fur nishing them a view of the entire grounds. To the right are what may he termed •• circus seats," where 500 can have an equally good view, I'nder the stands commodious dressing-rooms have been built. The paddock, where teams can In 1 hitched, is lartie enough for about 100 bug gies. The field lor baseball, with a line diamond, !-■ sail! to be superior to anything of the kind in the State. The circular track makes one mile in -.ix laps, and the t.':i k oflOOyards is excellently constructed for foot-racing purposes. The entertain ment for the opening to-morrow includes a game oi baseball be tween the Unions, ol Sacramento, and the Clippers, of gar Francisco, which is expected to be closely contested. The Unions have strengthened their nine by the addition of Han ly, who gained an enviable reputation by the strength with which he played third base for the Haver lys.

Deputy Sheriff Dunn brought up from! San Francisco last evening, en route t» the State Prison at Folsom, Ah Hing, alias ] Chun Hing. who is to serve six years for! grand larceny, and James ('. Johnson, under sentence of twelve years for burg lary. Rev. H. J. Becker delivered ;>n interest-' ing address at the Seventh-street M. K. : Church last evening upon the " Compass and Cultivation of the Human Voice," j illustrating it with recitations and singing. I The audience was not large, but those pres- j ent were well entertained. E. S. Grant, the well-known musician. is very seriously ill. lie played in the or chestra at the Metropolitan Theater last (Saturday night, hut on Sunday morning w.us attacked with paralysis, ami his condi tion has been growing worse since. He has been almost an invalid for about a year. A greal number of dead fish, nearly all of large size, are floating in the water of China slough, or lodged against the banks, and will soon create a stench. It is singular that the fish "f the slough should die now, when there is so much water, which is still cold. Possibly the fish spoiled on some dealer's bands and were thrown in. By -'>me. accident — the dropping of a burning match or a lighted cigar — the grass on the outskirts of natoma Grove caught (ire while the St. Rose Church picnic party was there Thursday, and the blaze spread with such rapidity that the grove was soon in serious danger. A large force of men and boys procured branches of trees and fought the lire, and after a bard fight were successful in conquering it. The only business transacted in ihe Su perior Court yesterday was the hearing of the case of Quan Wo Chan vs. Julia A. Henley et a!., in Department Two. A jury was impaneled, the plaintiff introduced bis evidence and rested, and the defendant then moved for a nonsuit, which was grained. The case was brought by ; laintiff ;■> recover a large number of brie!;, alleged to belong to him, and was on appeal from a Justice's Court. Mrs. John T. Card well was driving on X street yesterday afternoon, when her horse became frightened and ran away when in the vicinity of Second, dashing down the latter street at a high rate of speed. Mrs. < ardwell was thrown out at M street, where the hon-e turned, and she received severe bruises, especially about the face, and :i cut >ver the left eye. but was fortunate in es caping without more serious injury. The horse went up M street to Fourth, where he got freed from the buggy, in consequence of a collision with a tree, which damaged the vehicle considerably, and was finally caught at Fourth and X streets. At Fourth and M streets the runaway animal was barely prevented from running into a fune ral procession. A well-known citizen recently inquired at a popular restaurant what demand there was for frogs, stating that a friend of his had a first-class frog much, the crop being something remarkable for size. An agree ment was made by which the citizen and his ranch friend appeared at tlie restaurant yesterday morning, Mid announced that they had brought four dozen nice fat fel lows. The proprietor of the hotel inspected the lot, but immediately exclaimed: "Why these are not froes; they're toads!" The sellers laughed at the idea that they were so much mistaken, but, when some of the :..,'■.■ frog article was produced from the restaurant stock and compared, the Sacra mentan put bis hands to his nose and moved away, while his friend ejaculated : Ty shimmy, I sees der difference ! Who'd dink ii.it ( nyhow '.'" The " dark " young pacer winch Cbarli y Schlntius appeared behind at lie- Park last Saturday, attracting the attention ol' hor-e --mtn, who wondered where the animal. which paced in 2:35, and probably could have done a tew seconds better, came from. It appears that the pacer was owned by a young man named Will Utter, who was willing to sill him for $200, and IctSchlu (:::-: ;;;!-.■■ bim t.> traiii. on the agreement that it the trainer could sell him he was ti. pay Utter the amount mentioned.

The company acquired its present i title while in San Francisco, when Mr. I Reed was related to it. he not now behi» a I member of it But the audience had no I reason whatever to complain of the com- I pany. It is a thoroughly good troupe, and 1 gives a fresh and varied performance, full | of wit, grotesque acts and charming music. The orchestration is especially good, I>. It. Hawkins, a well- known and popular minstrel, is interlocutor, with BertHaverly as tambo and Charles V. Seamen, a new lace here, as bones, lioth end men are good, original and very vivacious. The quartet is a good one, the baritone of W. i\ Bishop and the basso, Franz Wetter, be ing especially noticeable. The latter has a powerful voice, rich in tone and full ol the dramatic quality. It i.- well adapted t the work be bas to do, and is very effectively handled. His solo. "The Last Chord," was an innovation on the usual style of vocalism heard in minstrel entertainments, rising as it did into a far higher realm and being classic in style ami lofty in theme. The encore it received was thoroughly sincere, and testified to the appreciativenesa of the musical people in t lie audience. Seamen and Girard, in their character acts are very pleasing, but "Gus Mills," female impersonator, '..- unquestiona bly the best of the troupe in disguises. His burlesque of a concert hall singer lias not been surpassed, and his falsetto is as near an approach to the female voice as is beard in any company. Seamen, Girard, Hav erly, Wilson and Cameron in grotesque and extravagant acts were very interesting. A very ludicrous burlesque, being '"Girard's version of Clotilda. "created a great deal of merriment, and was ludicrously absurd. All the songs, gags and circle business of the company are new and crisp. A> a whole, the troupe is one of pleasing singers, •rood instrumentalists and excellent min strel performers, and can be trusted to give a thoroughly enjoyable evening of modem negro minstrelsy. A matinee this after noon, another performance to-night, and a line special entertainment to-morrow night. [installation of Officers. ,— Fidelity Grove, No. 31, U. A. O.
