Crocker's Beautiful Sacramento Home Deeded to the Order. SACRAMENTO, July 31.—When the members of the local lodge of @ the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks assemble at their hall to- & morrow night they will be treated to a remarkable surprise. The deed > will be read to them conveying to the lodge as a gift the magnificent > mansion of Mrs. E. B. Crocker, situated on the s-uthwest corner of Third and O streets, and valued. with its grounds, at $30,000. The docu- ments were drawn up in San Francisco to-day, the presence of Mrs. ¥ Crocker in San Francisco with her son-in-law, J. Sloat Fassett, of New Yor!" requiring their execution in that city. When The Call is received to-morrow, giving the large majority of the Elks in this city the first information of their good fortune, their joy will know no limit. The property referred to is the old home of E. B. Crocker, brother of Charles Crocker, and one of the builders of the Central Pacific Railroad. It is connected by a covered passage with the Croc™-= Art Gallery, presented some years ago by the widow of Judge Crocker to the city, and containing some 700 rare works of art. The residence is one of the best types of the comfortable architec- ture of a auarter of a century ago. In some respects it resembles the present home of C. P. Huntington on California street, San Francisco, being classically plain in exterior design and white in finish. Inside sim- ple elegance prevails. The mantels are of the most beautiful onyx ever quarried, while the walls are adorned with many paintings gathered in Europe by the old mansion’s former occupant The grounds are wide, terraced, replete with stretches of lawn, and abounding in a wealth of semi-tropical plants and flowers. No club- house in the State is more attractive within or without than the one which the munificence of Mrs. E. B. Crocker will enable the local lodge of Elks to occupy. It is understood that the gift is absolute, and that the only require- ment is that the mansion and grounds shall be kept in good condition.
