HI EVENING NEWS.

Athletic Club Room. The crowd pres
ent was quite large, in fact, the hall
was so jsmmed that it was next to i'm
possible to move at all. On the right
of the hall as you enter, is the table OF
Mrs. Dayton and Mrs. Tritle. The little
stand is fixed up with great taste, nav
ing an arch of evergreens and hand-
some flowers, etc. But the best part
remains to be told. Inside the stand
the ladies keep constantly, q large
supply of coffee, and although 1t may
sonnd strange, they keep cream 10 put
into it. If you so there, be sure n

the sum 81 each, from Mrs. w. and ).
Las. evening, a couple Of persons, not
properly trained, nor having anything
10 do with the arrangement, started gu
to sell tickets in the crowd. As soon as
il was discovered. by those having
charge, it was stopped, as no dunning
or hawking business is to be carried on,
and any one who has no more sense
than to attempt it, will get shut OF.
The next place of business is the post
Office, where every lady a get a let
ter; and tonight, everybody will get a

table of Mrs. Nye and Mrs. WEIGH. This
table contains all kinds Of articles, from
peanuts up 10 the most fancy cakes;
also, all kinds of toys, candies, etc.
The performance wound up with a short
dance. The tableaux were as good as
We have ever seen; all looking alike to
us. We never could see anything en-
ticing about them, at best, although
they please the children. The instru-
mental music was furnished by kuh,
York and Millington. There is M
more part Of the performance, OF which
we wish to speak, and which took well,
it was a "side-show" in the bar-room
below. This institution was presided
over by Gen. Van Bokkelen and White.
It costs but twenty-five cents TO go in,
and we do assure all our friends that
the General knows how to give a show.
Go in and see him, by all means, n
hear him play the organ.

PAINFUL AccIpESr.-Yesterdsy after
noon on c street, a horse attached TO a
sulky, and being driven by Albert Hitler,
became frightened and commenced to
kick in a most vicious manner, finally
striking Mr.. Hitler on the leg with one
of its feet, breaking both bones Of his
leg near the ANGLE. He fell from the
sulky and wa carried to his brothers
house, and the bone was properly set.
The horse after he had disposed Of his
driver, went down the street like the
wind; when neal Union street, he struck
q Chinaman's Jack loaded with wood,
knocking it down and scattering the
wood in all directions. Whether the
animal has stopped yet or not, is hard
to tell. No doubt but Mr.. Hitler hopes
not.
FoRruSArE.-A day or two since as
Mr.. John q. Mills, in company with an
other gentleman, was coming from Vir-
ginia TO Gold Hill in a buggy, they were
crowded down on the hillside BY
until the buggy, which was on
a very siding place, opposite the old
works of the Bajszette and Golden Era,
all at once gave a sudden lurch n
threw both parties down the hill. The
buggy was not turned over, nor was
either Of the gentlemen injured, but a
demijohn of splendid brandy, / n charge
of Mr.. Mills, was not so fortunate, 1t
being a total wreck.
OK TsIAL.-The case of Mcnamara is
on trial in Judge Rising's Court. Two
days have already been exhausted in
securing q jury, and there are but eleven
persons in the box that have been passed
upon-a majority of these will, no
doubt, be- challenged of under per-
emptory challenges. Fifty new jury
men have been summoned to appear to-
dsy. We are informed by the officers
Of the Court that it will probably be
two days before they will be ready to
proceed with the testimony in the case.
A Coop OxES.-This morning we no
ticed a large number Of ravens perched
on the hill tops above town. They were
all very jolly, and were trying to sing.
This is a good sign for fair weather.
How they should know any more about
the weather than we do, is hard to e1-
plain; yet they seem to have that knowl-
edge. A month Of fair weather is what
we most need.
BROKEN LEe.-There seems to be a
perfect mania for breaking legs among
the people of Virginia city. A person
can't pass down G street fifty yard;
without coming in contact with some
ONE either on crutches or with q ane
to support himself with, having had
leo broken. Yesterday we counted foui
on the street in sight at one time. An
other was added to the list yesterday.
