lowing in this mornings Enterprise.
Just read it, it is rather amusing
"CoAsrixG CHALLgSGg.-Some of our
bows, feeling u little sore, perhaps, that
a Gold Hill sled should have won the
las, coas,iug match, are now ready to
back the Bracket sled, Of this city, with
any amount Of coin, against any sled
that Gold Hill can produce. In the FIRST
billiard match Gold Hill carried of the
champion cue, but in the second Vir-
ginia "snaked" it back. Perhaps it
may turn out the same way in coasting.'
Now, we would good-uaturedly, but
earnestly inquire, who is the response

to the ring" for a race? Any response

that challenge, and who will talk tur-

in yesterdays it issue also comes out AS
follows:
"CoNE Ur.-We are requested to say
to the Gold Hill coasters that the Brack-

P,rsR's OPERA HousE.-Tho grand
combination benef, last night, at the
Opera House, was q very great success
in every respect, the spacious theater
being crowded almost to sutfocation.
The entertainment was long, varied, and
OF the mos, interesting character. Time
nor space will not permit Of our refer
ring TO it in detail. Both the Opera
House and former Black Crook troupes
were combined on this occasion, pre-
seuting an array of melodeon talent un-
equaled anywhere. Several prominent
athletes and acrobatic gymnas,s OF the
Virginia Athletic Club were present,
volunteering in the performance of
various feats in which they won much
merited applause. The beautiful and
daring - eschellc perileuse" was sue
cessfully performed By Messrs. kimoall
and Naylor. Jack Lee also appeared,
and volunteered in the performance OF
some OF his uuriraled and uuequaled
feats of ,umbling. Louis La Page in
his " Happy Old Mar" made decided
" happy hit no one ever suspected he
had il in him. Master Sam achieved q
great success in his female African horn
pipe his "make up was unexception-
able as far as could be seen. The after
piece was the Wild Man and Flying
Woman" and was excellently we'll rem
dered throughout. Harry Spriggs is
very good "Wild man. and Fanny
Hanks did we'll as the "Queen of the
Amazons," aud the beautiful form OF
Zadie Lascclle appeared to fine advan-
tage.
Persisted IN IL SSow.-A cabin oc-
cupied by six wood choppers in the
mountains near the Eagle mills, some
three miles north Of Washoe city, was
swept away by an avalanche last Sstur-
day night. Strange as it may appear
neither of the occupants were hurt, but
afterwards in making their way through
the deep snow and heavy storm, to a
cabin about half II mile further down
the canyon, one of the party who was
rather a weakly man, got lost In the
and although search was made,
he was not found uutil next morning,
when his dead body was discovered, he
having doubtless persisted from ex-
haustion and exposure. We did not
learn the nam of deceased. The body
was taken to Washoe City and after
wards properly inferred.
