with his two-horse blackboard, carrying
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express, the U. s..
letter mail, treasure boxes, etc., has
been getting after the pony of the Pacific
Express Company pretty lively the last
three evenings, coming into Virginia
from Reno but a few seconds or a min
ute behind. Haight, the Pacific rider,
on his part swears that no one shall
come in ahead Of him, anyhow, there
fore he always takes care to reserve
steam enough to carry him through.
At Virginia, however, a change OF
drivers and conveyance takes place, the
Pacific coming through TO Gold Hill
with a light wagon, and Wells, Fargo Il
Co. with q pony. Tho evening before
last Wells, Fargo & Co. got here about
a hundred yards ahead, and last evening
they beat by considerable more Of a
distance. These races create consider
able of a sensation each evening.

evening at Piper's Opera House in some
of her remarkable and startling acts OF
contortion and gymnastic fents. She
is among the latest wonders from the
great East, arriving per Continental
Railroad, the papers wherever she has
exhibited speak very highly of her and
her doiugs. George Cassidy, local Of
the Inland Empire, at Hamilton, White

she is as supple as an eel, aud hasn't a
bone in her body. George is a very
susceptible young man, but aside from
that. nil agree that she is one Of the
wonders Of the world. She is assisted
by Master Tommy Mclaughlin and Billy
Wilkinson, and a very good entertain
ment is given. See advertisement.
