THE ANNIvERSARY BALL.-More than
one good reputation is at stake on the
proposition that the ball at Fort Home
stead on the evening of the Fourth is
to be worthy Of the occasion. Lyford
has set his teeth and stiffened his neck,
and swears "by all the gods at once"
that it shall be not only creditable but
the most brilliant affair Of the kind
ever gotten up in Storey county. He
says that I" everything goes" and he
will so manage rs to give universal sat-
isfaction or sacrifice Fort Homestead
and his life in the attempt. And he
says all this with the determined mir Of
q man who is ready to die in his
tracks" if necessary. He don't look
vicious, but very "se.." Moreover,
and as an earnest that he i" means
business" he has engaged WEIGH, Of
HAudy's Restaurant" to get up the
supper, and that gentleman stakes has
reputation as a purveyor and caterer on
the quality Of said supper. Orders
have gone over to California for the
latest poultry, freshest fruit and
choicest delicacies of that bounteous
market; and ga supper as is a supper y
may be confidently relied on. We are
not of those who are easily fooled BY
professions and promises, n have,
therefore, studied the c~ountenance OF
these people while they were telling
what they meant to do. We are salts
fed, on close examination, that they
mean business, and that the ball will
not be a failure, nor disappoint those
who attend, through any fault Of Lyford
or WEIGH.
