PIpERs' OPERA HOUSE," MONEY
Bulwer's beautiful 6ye-act comedy en-
titled "Moncy" vas enacted at the
Opera House last evening. Owing to
the stormy inclemency Of the evening
the audience was not as large as il might
have been, yet the attendance vas new
ertheless very fair. The play was pre-
sented in a highly acceptable manner,
and well received by the audience. Mr..
Barrett naturally suited the character
Of "Alfred Evelyn,' his very intellect
ual cast Of countenauce and expression
COMFORTING admirably with the deeply
read student who Unexpectedly becoming
wealthy by the decease Of a rich uncle,
who conveniently dies at the most requi-
site time-just as all rich uncles should
has a chance 10 try his friends, and
improves his opportunity by testing
their sincerity to his satisfaction, show
ing the gentle "Clara Douglass'-rep-
resented by Sue Robinson-to be his
truest, most consistent and %endearing
friend, after all, and an angel much
disguised and misunderstood, bringing
him both money and love, when those
articles seemed a scarcity in the mar
ket. Beatty was cast for "Sir Dudley
Smooth" but by reason Of the sickness
Of Dennis, the important character OF
"Graves" was also added to his part.
He did absorb himself into that charac-
ter Of Graves most correctly, completely
and admirably, his style ofphysiognomy
and elocution just filing the bill
Buckley also succeeded admirably as
the foppish Sir Frederick Blount-quits
n difficult character. The Lady
Franklin of Mrs. Stewart, and the
uGeorgina'' of Miss Olive Rand were
also very good. The Lady OF Lyons"
tonight, and another crowded house.
CHALLENGES seem to be the order Of
the day, especially for tonight, to run
foot races at the circus for the benefit OF
Liberty Hose Company. A good deal
of liberty seems to be taken with the
names of some folks in "pitting "
them as contestant without their knowl-
edge or consent. For instance, Mr..
Lynch, of the News, is put forth as
challenging Col. Watson, Secretary of
the Yellow Jacket, to IA six times
around the circus ring for a wager OF
one hundred dollars, the money to be
donated 10 the Hose Company! There
must be some mistake about this, as
these gentlemen both have the govt,
and are unable to 60, except with erutch-
es or a cane, which fact may possibly &C
count for the attempted f~acetiousness as
to their ability in racing matters. But
the "boys" will have their fun and
frolic, no matter at whose expense.
Col. Watson and Mr.. Lynch have seen
too many eircuses and races to make
their "irst appearance at this late
day on the saw-dust.
DAYTON IrENs.-0ur friend n. j. Hem
ley, who came up from Dayton yester-
day, informs US that the late rain
showers we have been enjoying for the
last w or three days were visited upon
Dayton and vicinity quite as ~copiously
as here. He found plenty Of mud in
coming up the canyon and through Sill
yer City. A plentiful supply Of Carson
river water is being introduced through
out Dayton, By means Of wooden pipes
or bored logs laid under ground from
the ditch Of Birdsall & Co., the head
being sufficient to carry the water over
the top of the Courthouse. A good
portion Of the main squeduet is already
laid and water conveyed into many
buildings by means Of branch pipes
Hydrants for 6re-squelching purpose!
are also to be established at proper
poipts. The mills at Dayton are al
running prosperously, with the exeep
ton Of the Illinois and Ophir mills
which are lying still at present. Dayton
is a good place, and prospers.
oas FROM Tue wHIrSlS.-Numerou
tons Of selected ore are soon to DO trans
ported from the old Whitman mine, 10
dian Springs District, to Dayton 10
reduction. Those interested say tina
if il will only yield fifteen dollars pe:
ton on the average they a make !
pay. The Whitman is an extensiv
mine, and was in former times reporte
to contain an immense amount OF richie
ore than that.
