Messrs. Garcia & Jacobs, of Covent Garden, sent three boxes 

 of magnificent Pears, which they had imported from California, 

 grown by A. Block, Esq., of Santa Clara. Amongst them were 

 'Doyenne du Cornice,' 4 Easter Beurre,' ' Beurre Clairgeau,' 

 'Winter Nelis,' 'Vicar of Winkfield ' (known in America as

 fruits. The Committee desired special thanks to be conveyed to 

 Messrs. Garcia for their kindness in sending them.
