the policy of the Company to carry forward its work with energy and vigor. The country through which it is to pass is thickly settled. There are numerous homestead tracts, which it is be- lieved would be speedily improved if there were some means of cheap and pleasant communication with the city, and the pro- spects of the Company appear to be excellent.
OAKLAND REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES .- This body was incor- ported December 17th, 1867, with a capital stock of $100,000. The object of the Corporation is to purchase and sell improved and unimproved real estate. The officers are as follows :
Henry C. Lee, President ; John I. Spear, Jr., Vice-Presi- dent ; Wm. K. Flint, Secretary; E. C. Sessions, General Business Agent.
Directors : Henry C. Lee, John I. Spear, Jr., G. W. Armes, W. K. Flint, W. H. Glascock, E. C. Sessions, C. W. Kellogg.
Offices, Broadway, Oakland, and 507 California street, San Francisco.
NEWSPAPERS .-- In the City of Oakland are published two daily morning papers, the Oakland News and the Oakland Transcript. The Oakland News was started by its present pro- prietor, William Gagan, September 9th, 1863, when the publi- cation of a small weekly sheet was commenced. The paper has grown with the place, and the Oakland News Printing House is an establishment of considerable extent and importance. A steam-power press is in use, and about twenty men are employed in the various departments. The business is growing from month to month, and the circulation of the paper, already large, is rapidly increasing. The Oakland Transcript was started in April, 1868, by H. Coffin, as an evening paper. In a few months the paper was purchased by O. P. Truesdell, and has been conducted by him up to the present time. Like the News, it evidently receives its proper proportion of the patronage of

the people of Oakland. In years past, numerous papers have been started and suspended for the want of patronage. Those now published are apparently permanent and established.
BOTANICAL GARDENS .- Oakland not only takes precedence as the seat of learning, but she also has the largest Botanical col- lection of native and foreign trees, shrubs, plants and bulbous roots on the Pacific Coast, which the enterprise of one of our nurserymen could get together during the last nine years. Here may be seen the conifera of our State, and the many beautiful and curious plants indigenous to California, also, an extensive collection of Australian and New Zealand trees and shrubs, which flower during our winter, and almost make us forget the season. Mexico, Chili and Peru, the West Indies and the world in general has contributed to give us such a collection of plants as is seldom seen growing together outside of California. Visitors from other States will here have an opportunity to see our trees and plants without going all over the State. Belle View Nursery is situated on the Telegraph road, and is open to the public free of charge, and where Mr. Nolan, the proprietor, will always be pleased to give any information he may possess on the subject.

CHURCHES.
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH .- This is the Pioneer Church of Oakland. The first Postor, the Rev. S. B. Bell, commenced services in Oakland early in 1853 or in the winter of 1852, the Public School House being used as a place of worship. The early history of this church is exceedingly interesting. Its Pastor and the few members had many and severe obstacles to withstand. The building now used was erected by them, on the block on the west side of Harrison Square. Mr. Bell was suc-
ceeded in the ministry by the Rev. E. B. Walsworth, and Mr. Walsworth was followed by the Rev. L. Hamilton, the present pastor, who entered upon his duties in December, 1865. The congregation now own a splendid building lot on Fourteenth street, adjacent to the City Hall property, as well as the property where the church edifice now stands. The Board of Trustees consists of J. J. Gardener, J. Hutchinson, W. C. Dodge, E. C. Sessions, and W. H. Miller.
FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH .- The First Congregational Church was organized December 9th, 1860, with a membership of seventeen persons, and from that date until the present time 217 persons have been received into the Church. The present membership is 175. During the first few months of the exist- ence of the Church, the Rev. Geo. Pierson, of the Brooklyn Presbyterian Church, officiated as Pastor. The Rev. Dr. Mooar, the present Pastor, assumed his position May 6th, 1861.
117
OAKLAND DIRECTORY.
The Religious Society, which has the care of the finances of the Church, and is composed of all members of the congregation, who sign its constitution, was organized January 7th, 1861. The Society has collected in the eight years of its existence about $40,000.
The fine block on Broadway, between Tenth and Eleventh streets, was purchased for $1,400 in September, 1861. The church edifice was dedicated June 15th, 1862. There were ex- pended upon its erection and its entire furnishing, $11,345. In the Fall of 1867, the building was lengthened twenty feet at a cost of $3,500. A convenient chapel was erected in the spring of 1868, at a further cost of $2,500. The church has 100 pews.
The following is a list of the officers of the church :
Rev. George Mooar, D. D., Pastor; T. B. Bigelow, E. P. Flint, R. E. Cole, T. L. Walker, Deaeons; R. E. Cole (Mode- rator) ; L. P. Fisher (Clerk) ; E. P. Sanford (Treasurer) ; E. P. Flint, F. K. Shattuck, I. W. Knox, Trustees.

Rev. Father Byrne. The church has a membership of 1,250 persons, and is in every way flourishing and prosperous. During the past fifteen months about $15,000 have been con- tributed by the members of this church for the appropriate ob- jects, making extensions and improvements.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH .- The Methodist Episcopal Church was founded by the Rev. C. E. Rich, who in September, 1862, entered upon his duties, and under his ministrations the present Methodist church edifice was erected. Mr. Rich also took an important part in the organization of the church at the Point. The church is now under the pastoral charge of the Rev. Lysander Walker. During the past year about $1,500 have been expended by the congregation in improvements to the church building.

Under Mr. Boardman the Sunday School had a membership of about 70 scholars. In September, 1859, he re- signed. T. L. Walker was appointed in his place. In 1861, the school was for some reason suspended for a few months, but in the latter part of that year it was reorganized by the Rev. E. B. Walsworth, and under his efficient management attained a mem- bership of 200 scholars and teachers, In the autumn of 1865, Mr. S. B. Stoddard was elected Superintendent, and he held his position until June of the following year, when he resigned on account of his removal from the city.
