HORNER'S PREMIUM FLOUR— Premium for Domestic Flour. San Francisco, Nov. 25. 1853. Messrs. Warren & Sons — Gentlemen— Agreeably to your request, the Committee on Flour assembled at Coit ■Si Seals to investigate the eight samples of California made Flour exhibited at your Agricultural Fair, in competition for the award of a Filty Dollar Cup The committee of three were all old New York flour merchants, and have given each of the samples submitted to us their full share of attention. We would premise that .three of the samples were inferior in quality, two defective in color, and for the credit of the mills, should never have been sent to the Fair, evidently being made of unsound and inferior wheat; one sample badly bolted; five samples were all of choice quality and deserving of special commendation, and each worthy of the brand of 'Extra Family Flour." The committee reduced, by careful comparisons and tests, the five samples marked A. C. E. F. G. down to three. C. E. F. and after comparing them for half an hour, finally decided to mix up the three samples into dough, which test reduced us to two samples. E and F: and though UNANIMOUS IN OUR JUDGMENT THAT E WAS IN ALL RESPECTS THE BEST FLOUR, and accordingly derided that that was THE PREMIUM SAMPLE, and FULLY ENTITLED TO THE AWARD OF THE SILVER CUP, we feel convinced that the three are worthy of special merit. After declaring the award we proceeded to open the key to the initials, and find that "HORNER'S MILLS." of Union City. was represented by "X"; that the -Benicia Mills." (J. F. Houghton. agent.) was "F"; and that "C" represented the "Washington Mills." W. Van Court, of San Francisco; that "6" represented the "Happy Valley Wills." Fitch & Co.; and last, though not least, ''A" represented the "San Joaquin Steam Mills." Calvin Paige & Co.. proprietors. Since making our award we have called in a fourth New York flour dealer, to whom the eight samples were submitted, and we are happy to say that the gentleman, without hesitation, threw out the three inferior samples as unworthy a place in the Exhibition, and of the remaining five samples his opinion in all respects corresponded with our own. which to himself was m surprise, though to the committee a very satisfactory test that we had decided righteouslj . All of which is respectfully submitted. 11. CHANNING BEALS Chairman of the Committee. E. T. PEASE, W. S. ALTON.
