THEY ALL WANT THE MEDAL
Every Orange Grower Has the
Best Fruit
AND WILL TRY TO PROVE IT
Lively Competition for the Chamber of
Commerce Medal
important Meeting ol the Citrus Fair Executive
Committee-Chamber of Commerce
Notes
The executive committee of the Citrus
Fair Association met yesterday afternoon
at the Chamber of Commerce rooms, with
Vice-President H. R. Smith in the chair
and C. D. Willard acting as secretary. San
Diego county was represented by H. F.
Noreross, Riverside county by W. D. Mc-
Leod, Orange county by W. J. Fay, Ven
tura county by W. J. Sherriff, the Cham
ber of Commerce by John Scott.
The principal business of the meeting
was the approval of the space allotted by
. the secretary and superintendent for the
exchanges and associations on the main
floor, leaving the space in the gallery for
the exhibit of the "Thirties" and the en
tries for the Chamber of Commerce medal.
The matter of privileges was taken up
and it was decided to limit the allotment
of space to the sale of flowers, refresh
ments, ice cream and lemonade, soda
water, etc., barring out all sales of "Mid
way" material. The secretary announced
that the refreshments, flowers, and candy
and ice cream privileges had been given
to the ladies belonging to the benevolent
associations of the city.
It was decided that the Chamber of
Commerce gold medal be offered for tbe
best box of oranges grown by an exhibitor,
and that the entry be conlined to one box
of one variety from each exhibitor, the
box to be the commercial package,
without brand or any ornamentation
whatever, as it is intended that the pack
age shall bear no mark of identification.
It will be known to the judges by a num
ber. The judges lor these entries are to
be selected by the regular committee on
judges. Entries in this class will close
Wednesday noon, March Oth.
The members present stated that the
amount of space allotted to their several
localities was insufficient for the amount
of fruit it is desired to exhibit, showing
that there is a livelier interest taken in
the fair this year than was at lirst antici
pated. The entries from Fillmore, Ven
tura county, alone, sent in yesterday, are
sixty-six in ten classes.
The judges selected by the committee
on judges, and that have been accepted,
are an follows:
In classes 1, 2, 24.25, 26 and 27, R. H.
Young, of San Diego; A. B. Ruggles, of
Redlands, and E. F. C. Klokke, of this
city.
In classes 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,
20, 21 and 22. J. E. Cutter, of Riverside;
William Fuller, of Colton, and A. Petsch,
of this city.
In Classes 4, 40, 11, 12 and 23, W. H.
Backus of Riverside, J. 0. Frisbie of San
Diego and W. E. Ferguson of Whittier.
In' Classes 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and
35, H. Jevne and J. R. Newberry of this
city and N". W. Blanchard of Santa Paula.
The judges for Classes 13 and 14 (best
packed boxes of oranges and lemons) and
and also sor the Chamber of Commerce
medal class, are yet to be selected.
The railroad companies will give special
rates for one week during the fair, and
the usual freight rates applicable to state
fairs will be in effect during the entire
time of the exhibition.
Chamber of Commerce Notes.
Redlands has sent to the Chamber of
Commerce several cases of dried fruit to
be forwarded to the American Institute, in
New York. Pomona will contribute
olives, olive oil and marmalade. Burnard
& Densmore send word that tbey have in
structed their New York agent to select
samples for this display, 'the chamber is
anxiously waiting for parties to send in
any material that they wish forwarded to
this exhibit.
Edward Dunham of La Canada exhib
its Barry pears that will not be ready for
table use for two months.
Parties desiring to learn what the root
knot is can see a fair sample of that dis
ease by calling at ihe chamber where
there can be seen a prune tree two years
old infested with this disease from the
ranch of O. J. Ennis.
Jacob Miller of Cahucnga exhibits a
branch of an almond tree covered with
blossoms.
As the chamber will begin the decorating
of Hazard's Pavilion the middle of the
coming week for the Citrus Fair, it is de
sired that all of those having ivy, cypress,
etc., that they are willing to donate for
this purpose, send word to the Chamber
of Commerce and a wagon will be sent
for the material.
The design of Montgomery Bros, for the
Chamber of Commerce medal offered for
the best box of oranges exhibited at the
Citrus Fair has been accepted and is a
most beautiful one. While it will cost
the chamber only .foO, its intrinsic value
will be much more than that, as the
makers take enough interest in the matter
to make a big concession of labor and
material. The finished medal will in a
few days be on exhibition in Montgomery
Bros, show window.
A prominent orange grower yesterday
stated that there would be at least 100
entries for the Chamber of Commerce
medal. Nearly every orange grower in.
Southern California thinks he has a box
of fruit that will capture the premium.
The Pool Tournament
At the sixth game of the pool tourna
ment the crowd was larger and the con
test more exciting than ever. The con
testants were Mr. Finley of Los Angeles
and Mr. Cohen of San Francisco, the
former winning by the score: Finley
100, Coli en 70.
Mr. Finley, the local champion, has
made the largest run so far during the
tournament, making three fifteen runs
iluring the game. There will be no game
today. The next game will be between
W. liayden, champion of Colorado, and
Mr. Cray of Los Angeles. Mr. Havden
will play 100 to Mr. Gray's 00. The game
will take place on Monday at 4:80 p.m. at
the Brunswick Billiard Hall, North Slain

FIRE DEPARTMENT HORSES
Figuring on How to Oet the Best for the
Money Available
The Fire Department needs ten more
horses, and the question of how to pro
cure such horses as are needed at fair
prices has come up.
Yesterday Councilman Kingery had a
conference with Assistant Fire Chief
Smith on the subject. Mr. Smith is the
man whom the Fire Commission, and the
Council as well, look to for selections, as
he is known to be a thorough horse judge.
Mr. Kingery suggests that horses be ad
vertised lor and ask that everybody who
has a horse to sell, which he thinks would
suit for a lire department horse, bring tho
animal around at a certain time to a suit
able place where the Fire Commission
and the assistant chief might select the
number wanted according to the horse
and the price.
Assistant Chief Smith falls in with the
idea. "It will be like a horse show," ho
said. "We'll have several thousand
horses to inspect, and out of the lot we
ought to get ten good ones.
"it's not every horse, by the way, that
will do for the 'Fire Department," said
he. "The disposition and intelligence of
a horse make all the difference in the
world. Heretofore the city has been buy
ing matched horses for the department,
but I don't believe in it. A team may
match in color, size and everything ex
cept disposition and gait, and the team
will be no good for this business. Again,
tbey may not be matched as to size
and color, but be gaited alike, and
really be of more value that a well-mated
team.
Heretofore the plan of procuring horses
for the department has been to pass
requisitions for $300 for a team and then
buy a team to fit the figures. Anything
which costs more than $300 cannot be
bought for the city without advertising
for bids.
"It is like cutting off a dog's tail a lit
tle at a time to make the pain less," said
Mr. Kingery. "The plan I propose is to
buy the ten at a time by advertising for
them, but to make the choice from all
that arc submitted and let Mr. Smith do
the mating of the teams after we get the
ten in our possession.
Six of the horses are needed for the
three new chemical engines recently pur
chased by the city.
WEIGHTY MATTERS WERE UP
The Finance Committee of the Council
Handles Big Issues
The Library Building Proposition Gets a
Setback—Figures for the Bond
Election
The finance committee of the City
Council was a busy body yesterday; so
busy that not half the work laid out could
be accoinplishsd In the all-clay session
held. Several matters of very great im
portance were before the committee, only
a few of which were definitely decided
upon.
The committee decided to recommend
to the Council that $.100 be appropriated
to keep tbe Chamber of Commerce open
during the tourist season.
The library building proposition was
given a setback. The finance committee
will recommend that the proposition be
left out of the ordinance calling for a bond
election.
The committee will recommend also
that the extra sanitary inspectors asked
for.by the health officer, be not allowed.
The matter of an extra assistant fire
chief or clerk of the Fire Department and
the matter of an assistant park' superin
tendent were not reached.
CThe bond election ortunance fook a large
.part of the day, and.the, uiaMers to be de
cided were not settled. C
|t was decided to allow $32-I,iSOP for tbe
new school houses and grounds, $50,000 for
Elysian Park, $2,1,01)0 for the East Los
Angeles Park,'and $25,001) for Westlake
Park.
The Third street tunnel appropriation
will probably be fixed at $30,000, though
this was not definitely settled, and no I
amount was named for the purchase of
head works for the city's own water sys
tem.
There are many other matters before the
financial committee and a short meeting
may be held before the Council convenes
on Monday morning.
The books of the Tax and License Col
lector's office were examined and the com
mittee recommends that R. D. Wade, the
former Tax Collector be charged with
$2.5-1 on errors found in extensions and
credited with $1.1 land $218.82 for personal
property tax unpaid and errors and double
assessments.
The committee also recommends that
$11.01 be returned to H. C. Newhall on
account of a tax and penalty paid on
street improvement.
Central W. C. T. U.

A PLACE FIT FOR ROYALTY
Scenes of Splendor and Objects
of Beauty
THE HOFFMAN CAFE OPENED
A Cuisine That Will Satisfy the Most
Exacting
The Cafe, Grillroom and Private Banquet
Rooms Are Works of Art In
Decoration
Los Angeles has a Delmonico, and it
was opened yesterday. This is not said
in a spirit of boastfulness. Nor is it to
be understood that the resort just thrown
open to the people of this city gains any
additional lustre because of the somewhat
presumptuous title given above: for the
cafe, bar, grill-room and attachments
which our citizens inspected yesterday
for the lirst time are beyond all doubt the
peers of any similar establishment not
only west of Chicago, but throughout the
United States. The curiosity of thous
ands of people has, during the past few
weeks, been whetted as they passed along
Spring street by gorgeous carved work
and art glass, only glimpses of which
could be obtained as they were being put
in place to adorn the three-story building
which plucky M. L. l'olaski has been
having erected to be a home for all that
can delight and warm the soul of mankind.
Surely those philosophers of old were
right when they placed the seat of the
soul in the stomach; and just as surely
will all the wise men of modern times, of
Whom so many reside in our midst, re
joice at the completion of this daring un
dertaking —the establishment of a Refresh
ment, where the eye as well as the heart
can be gladdened.
This new resort, so modest looking
yet neatly dressed without, so magnificent
and gorgeous within, is "The Hoffman,"
at 315 South Spring street. On passing
by, the eye is caught by the rich paneling
of woodwork decorating the walls and
ceiling of the most beautiful cigar store
in any state.
The tiling on the floor, the elegant
carved counter and fixtures, the heavy
plate glass, the handsome mirror, the
finely executed art glass partitions and
doors—all these catch the attention of even
the most unobservant, and cause him to
stop and gaze. After that he will per
chance cross the threshold and pass Into
the saloon, only to catch his breath with
astonishment at the beautiful sight
within.
.Standing upon carpeting exceedingly
ricli and beautiful he will east bis eye
around the room, lit by myriads of incan
descent burners jutting forth from every
nook and corner nf the ceiling, und by the
elegant chandelier of innumerable lights.
A scene like that beheld by Aladdin then
presents itself. Exquisite paneling of
birch polished like glass, decorated walls
and ceilings, and with the many plate
glass mirrors which stud the woodwork
cast ten thousand reflections from the
countless lights.
The rear bar, constructed and decorated
in the style known as Louis XlVth, is re
markable for its beauty, the light and airy
ceiling being reflected by the thr.'c im
mense minors forming the background.
Beautiful cut glass ware, apparently un
limited in quantity, sparkles like so many
diamonds. The richly carved cabinet oil
the opposite wall, tilled with the costliest
wines, causes the heart to rejoice, anil the
whole soul is delighted by the tout ensem
ble—a glimpse of fairyland—delicate, bril
liant, light and exquisite.
The heavy tapestries in the rear are
parted and trie grill-room is entered. This
is similarly decorated and finished iv
birch, and is furnished with a dozen
tables, fitted with the finest of linen and
covered with the costliest of silver
ware. This room, too, is ablaze with
lights, which cast their beams from every
panel. Beyond the grill-room a wide hall
way leads to private dining-rooms, com
fortably yet beautifully furnished and dec
orated.
A kitchen complete in every detail com
pletes the equipmentof the first floor, and
one is then anxious to inspect the next
story. A private hall and stairway leads
to this, after one has entered a magnifi
cent vestibule and opened and passed the
beautifully designed art glass doors.
A wide stairway leads to a spacious hall,
and opening upon this are several large
dining-rooms, which can be occupied sin
gly or thrown open to form a grand ban
quet hall—all paneled and with richly
decorated walls.
On the third floor are found other pri
vate dining rooms, a banquet hall and
billiard parlors, each room finely decorated
and appropriately furnished. "Lavatories
are placed on every floor, the plumbing of
which is the very best, and the tilings and
fittings are really works of art. This is the
panorama which a hurried visitor will be
hold—glimpses of as fine an establishment
of the kind as man can hope to see.
And after all this has been seen and
the many ejaculations of surprise have
been expressed, one naturally asks from
whose mind these gorgeous conceptions
spring, and he is not surprised when he
is told that the designer, both of the
building proper, and also of every detail
of interior carving, woodwork, and decor
ation was the brilliant, and well-known
architect, A. M. Edelman, who offices
over Wells, Fargo & Co.'s, on the corner
of Third and Main streets, have been the
birth-place of the plans and decorations
of countless numbers of the handsomest
dwellings and blocks in this rapidly grow
ing city.
Too much praise cannot be given this
skillful architect for the taste displayed
for his originality of design, and for the
harmony and effectiveness of the entire
decorations. His ideas were faithfully
carried out, and to him all honor is due.
Praise must also be granted to F. H.
Powell, president of tbe well-known Los
Angeles Planing mill, located on Han
Pedro street, near Fifth, for the perfect
manner in whioh the interior woodwork
on the first floor was constructed. All of

I this work was furnished hy this com
, pany and made by them here—the pan
] cling, cigar store and bar fixtures and en
; tire cabinet work.
1 The mill is one of the largest and best
I equipped west of Chicago, and it is safe
■to say that no factory in the Tinted
! States can excel it iv "workmanship. It
! makes a specialty of just such high class
j work as can be seen at "The Hoffman,"
; aud its principal contracts today are for
the finest decorative work for this city's
palatial residences and business blocks.
Mention has been made of-the hundreds
of incandescent lights. Each room like
wise is fitted with electric bells connecting
with an annunciator in the bar-room.
This has necessitated an immense amount
of electric wirine, all of which was done
by a local firm, Wybro A y Boynton, and in
a manner superior to any similar job of
the kind ever undertaken" in Los Angeles.
Apropos hereof, st is not out of place to
mention that to Mr. A. F. Neissen. who
represents the (j. W. Edwards Manufac
turing Company of Chicago, is due the
beautiful effect'rendered by the exquisite
taste displayed in the selection of gas and
electric fixtures throughout the building,
which the tirin of M. L. l'olaski & Co.
purchased through Samuel Meyer, the
pioneer crockery and gas-fixture dealer of
this city.
The decorative art glass, which forms a
great part of the large partitions on the
main floor, is also a work of art, and was
especially designed for "The Hoffman" to
correspond with the other interior decora
tions. This was manufactured in San
Francisco by the Pacific American Deco
rative company, whose offlce is at 2(1
O'Farrell street", San Francisco, and who
bave one of the largest factories of the
kind in America.
Besides this beautiful work, this com
pany lias furnished the art glass of some
of tne finest residences and churches in
this city, as well as throughout all the
West; and its workmanship compares
fuvorably with any of the kind in tiie
country -as the decorations here show.
All of tbis may seem exorbitant praise
to those who "have not been fortunate
enough to gaze upon this palace of artis
tic work; but to the one who has wit
nessed the beauties of tiie interior decora
tive work of "The Hoffman, " as well as
the elegant furnishings of silver, crystal,
linen and the like, these apparently ex
travagant expressions will scarcely "seem
adequate.
It needs pluck and nerve to establish
such a resort as this any wHere; and to
the owner of these qualities—M. L. Pu
laski—congratulations and thanks are now
in order.

had no appetite; lost flesh and was really too weak to do work, and was many times
told 1 could never be made well.
"I have treated with other doctors, but no one did me any good, and I had made
up my mind that I could not be cured.
