Mclntyre, chairman; the picnickers landed at Fernbrook Park about 11 ‘o'clock. An elaborate pro- gramme had been arranged, but the first order of business was luncheon. Here the members of the feminine sex showed their great skill. Dalnty viands were spread under the oak trees and everybody feasted. After luncheon the military band, that had been specially engaged for the occa- sion, started a waltz, which. brought all those who cared to dance to the pavilion. Athletic games were also in order. D. Sheerin, with his coat off and a good blackthorn stick in his hand, acted as starter. There were all kinds of races, the altar boys, the girls and boys of the church and ecven the fat ladies running for prizes. About 3 o’clock the committee in charge of the picnic hung up the lucky numbers that had won gate prizes. Tommy Kearns, the well-known actor, who is out here for his summer vacation, won a sack of flour and D. R. McNell of launch fame won two tickets to a local theater. There were many who helped ta make the picnic a suce The Very Rev. Pius Murphy and many other fathers of the Dominican Order went around and saw that eyery one had a good time. Dan Leary took a day off from the City Hall and assumed charge of the Irish jig plat- form. When others could not be found to take a step he would lead off with “The Rocky Road to Dublin” himself.

Who Profited by Changes in Specifications Still *. a Secret. s SR Engineer Lott D. Norton failed to pre- sent his report upon the cost of the changes made in the specifications for harbor work, as ordered by him, at the meeting of the Harbor Commission yes- terday. Following the expose by The Call of the illegal changes in the specifica- tions, the board directed that a searching inquiry be held and that Norton file an estimate of the cost of such changes, to- gether with some data as to who profited | by them. At a former meeting of the board Nor- ton admitted that he had made the changes without authority, but said they were in the interests of the State. He was ordered to show wherein the State was benefited, but at yesterday's meet- ing he said that Contractor Wakefield being absent in the north, he was unable to iile the desired report. The matter then went over pending the arrival of Wake- fleld next week. A member of th'e Fourth of July com- mittee, appointed by the Mayor, ap- peared before the board and asked that the electric lamps placed upon the ferry tower be retained there until after the national celebration and that they be illuminated at the expense of the Statéf on the evenings of July 3, 4 and 5. It was | announced that there would be a general illumination of the city on the dates named and that it was desired to have the ferry bullding present an attractive ap- pearance. The board granted the request and orders were given for the illumina- tion of the bullding on the evenings stated. : The condition of the State’s property near the North Pacific Coast Railroad’s frontage on Sansome street was discussed by Manager Renner of the Draymen's Assoclation. He said the street was in need of repair and that the Board of Pub- lic Works would pave the street if the Harbor Commissioners laid a sidewalk on their property. Renner said the improve- ment was an absolute necessity and that the draymen of the city were clamoring for {t. The Commissioners referred the matter to the engineer for an estimate of the cost, the intention being that the im- provement would be ordered.

The board decided to ask the Supervisors to appropriate $1500 for a new sterilizer in the City and County Hospital. Jacdb Wiesner was appointed ambulance driver and T. J.

Two commercial bodles in California are concerning themselves about the Califor- nia lemon. These are the State Board of Trade and the Southern California Fruit Exchange. Not long ago F. A. Binney of Helix, this State, made some state- ments in Chicago about freight rates on | lemons from this State to the East, and | incidentally- remarked that the Ilemon growers, by reason of such rates, were not in the way to make money. The State Board of Trade took up the matter {at once and instructed Manager Filcher | to ‘write to Manager Naftager of the | Southern California Fruit Exchange and | | fing out the facts, for, while the people | {of the State are endeavoring to get de- sirable parties to locate in Callfornia, talk calculated to persuade the Eastern man that_ California is not a place to | make profit in the lemon line or in any | other productive industry might do harm { unless the truth in the premises could be | shown. : i‘l.:\%:uager Naftzger of the Southern Cali~ fornia Fruit Exchange has replied to the | communication of inquiry from the State | Board of Trade. He writes that he would | not accept Mr. Binney as an authority on lemons in_ California, and incidentally classes some of his remarks under_the general explosive title of ‘“volcanic. Then he discusses the lemon and its fu- ture. In part he writes as follows: 1 agree with Mr. Binney that the freight rate on California fruits, especially citrus fruits_is too high. I have said so repeatedly to Mr. Ripley and to the Southern Pacific and other railroad offictals. I belleve that a rate of $1 per hundred pounds instead of $1 25 would be fair and reasonable under present conditions. | Ag to the lemon Industry, a great deal would have to be sald in detall In order to rive any sutficlent and conclusive data on the subject. This, 1 think, however, all will agree upon, that from December to June there is practic- ally no profit in lemon growing in California. From December to May, when the fruit can be held in curing houses, there is good profit to the growers, provided, of course, that the fruit has good keeping qualities. There is no ques- tion that the California lemons are superior to the Sicilies and will displace them in the mar- kets whenever they are put against them. This is no metter of theory or State pride, but a simple matter of fact that the trade all over the United States will testify to. I do not con- sider that intemperate statements such as Mr. Binney has made are apt to bemefit the cause, but rather the contrary. GOLDEN GATE PARK ELK INCIDENT IS NOW CLOSED Meat of the Famous Animal Is Do- nated for a Feast for the City’'s Poor.
