weather and BAD conultion Vi tne
streets, last evening, did not prevent a
eoodly number of u theater going
people from attending the performance
at Piper's Opera House. Mile. Bon
fanti comes to this place with a reputa-
ton of being unrivaled as n danseuse.
Her acting last evening was well re-
ceived by the audience. 1t Is plainly
inferred by the favorable impression
| she has already made on those present
ut the performance last evening, that
| she will probably be no less appreciated
in this sage brush country than In the
| Eastern cities of America and Europe.
| As a danseuse 1t Is quite sure she mas
no equal ut present on the Pacific
| Coast. Her appearance on the stage Is
beautiful, her dress most becoming,
and all her movements graceful and
artistic. Miss Sue Robinson person.
ated the handsome Prince in the play
last evening, and did 1t in a very cred
table manner. We do not think this
one Of Miss Robinson's strongest char
acters, yet she certainly personates the
Prince well, and we never knew her
to fail in any part she undertook on
the stage. She has won for herself q
host Of admiring friends in Nevada,
who are always ready to show their
appreciation whenever an opportunity
is offered. Mons. Novissimo, Miss
Katy Wilson, Nine. Marzette and
Mile. Lehman performed their several
parts excellently, and showed plainly
that the favorable reputation they had
earned on the stage was the result OF
careful study and peculiar aptness in
that line. Miss Wilson was received
in q manner indicating that she had
made an impression quite tlattering to
herself. The rest of the troupe per-
formed their several parts in a manner
| that leaves 10 doubt that their support
of the troupe 4 complete success.
SAD ACCIDENT. = Yesterday after
noon, William Mcfarland, son OF MIR.
| Mcfarland Of the firm Of Taylor &.
| Mcfarland, boiler makers, Silver City,
while inside OF the boiler ut the Sap
phire mill, making repairs, the en-
gineer, who had been hired only for
the day, attempted to blow off steam,
and the valve being open in the steam
pipe connecting the two boilers the
steam rushed In to where this man was
working; he heard it coming and
rushed to the mouth of the boiler and
was drawn out, but not before he was
scalded from the feet to above his
knees. He was carried home to Silver
City, when DIR. Kirby was called to
render medical aid. 1t will be some
time before he will be able to be out
again.
LADIES FNR.-Armory Hall was
again crowded last evening by persons
attending the Fair. The fact that the
streets were in an unusually bad state
from the amount Of snow and rain
which had fallen, such full attendance
could not have been anticipated, and
shows the deep interest felt in the
| Catholic Church by those who did take
part in the exercises Of the evening.
The Fair will be continued for several
nights yet.
MORNING SrAaE.-Hereafter Wells,
Fargo & Co. will keep one stage in
Reno until Z o'clock every morning,
for the accommodation of persons who
land in the town in the night and do
not wish to start Immediately. BY
this arrangement persons will be able
to get Il good nights sleep. and will
come through all the way from Reno
by daylight.
The ALEXANDRA. This place OF
amusement was last night, rs usual,
crowded with persons to see the eel
ebrated "Shoo Fly Can-can." All
present seemed to hugely enjoy the
entertainment. This popular dance,
together with jokes, songs, bu~rlesques
and gymnastic feats, will be repeated
tonight.
MAGNrrIcENr.-Everybody ought to
90 and see the magnificent scenery,
dresses, dancing and tableauN, nightly
presented ut Piper's Opera House.
The burlesquc extravaganza, called
"Camaralzaman," is \ very attractive
entertainment. We presume 1t Will
be played all this week.
EVERY fashionable young lady in
