Your Committee on 1,argent ami Finest• 
Display beg leave to submit the following! 
report: 
There were five entries for the 4100 pre¬ 
mium, a* follows: Pasadena, N*tionsl 
Ranch Grange, San Gabriel, II. J. Crow, 
Veriluga Ranch, ana Wood hc&d \ (lay, 
dealers. 
The Pasadena exhibit was by far the Ur¬ 
gent. display in the Pavilion, and llip fruit 
was very fine. It consisted of clpv**a va¬ 
rieties of oranges, four varieties of li-mrma, 
limes, citron, raisins, guavas, pear* »ntl ap 
pies. Tim mammoth tent of 144 boxes 
oranges and lemons, finely packed m holier 1 
ready for shipment to market, was very , 
massive and attracted universal attention. 
The fruit was very clean and of a fine qual¬ 
ity and was tastefully arranged, and Che- 1 
tables were beautifully decorated with 
flowers. 
The National Ranch Grange exhibit was 
not so large in quantity of fruit, but it con¬ 
tained the most varieties, to-wit. Twenty- 
one varieties of oranges, seven varieties of 
lemons, besides the seedlings, also nin es, 
raisins, apples, limes, dried figs and guavas. 
The fruit was very superior in quality, be 
ing clean, very ripe and tin© textured in \ 
general appearance. 
San Gabriel exhibited more artistic 
in arranging its display than any other In 
cxlity. The pagoda, the sides, roof and spin 
of which were covered with oranges and 
lemons, was a design happily conceived aud 
artiscically executed. 
H. J. ('row made the finest display as an 
individual, and this exhibit is deserving uf 
special mention, by virtue of the quality of 
tin! fruit and the tasty maimer in which it 
was arranged.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON BCD-1 
DEI) FRY IT. 
Gw, Rk x, Secretary Board of Directors. 
Your Committee on Budded Fruit beg 
leave to report that, after four vary severe 
testa, in which the oranges were so placed 
before ua that the name of the grower was 
not known to any nf the Committer, we 
find little, if any, diflVrwnre between No. 1 
apecimen, (.’over and McCoy, Riverside. 
Cal., ami No. 1 specimen, J. R. Dobbin*, 
San Gabriel, Cal., both being Washington 
Navel, budded from the same stock. The 
specimen* placed before us led ua Ut sward 
the First Premium to No. 1, Cover A Me 
Coy, Riverside, Cal-, while vre felt that wi 
might be doing the San Gabriel oranges an 
injustice, aa we consider the difference lo 
be only in time the fruit has been picked. 
We therefore recommend that Mr. J. It. 
Dobbins, of San Gabriel, bn awarded a 
special premium of five dollars (45) for the 
d best variety of budded fruit.
