was simply finished, fully up to the
standard, and Just what Is always ex-

James Garden enacted the Ghost salts
factorily, and Mr.. Owen Marlowe as
Horatio, and Mr.. E. D. Leathes a. La

Claudius of Pierpont Thayer, and the
Polonius of Harry Sinclair were ex-
cellently rendered. The Ophelia oil
Mrs. Ellie Wilton could not we'll be
surpassed in any respect. It was a
very fine, correct and pleasing imper-

excellent advantage as Queen Ger

the Player Queen. Barry's rendition
of the Grave Digger was quite a feature
and much applauded. He Is unequaled

STEAMBOAT SrKTIoN.-A very pleas
ant little celebration of the opening Of
the new extension of the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad from Reno to Steam.
boat Station, a distance OF eleven
miles, took place yesterday at the
latter terminus. Superintendent Yer
ington had invited n large number OF
friends from Carson City, Washoe
City, Geld Hill, Virginia City, Reno
and the surrounding country to par.
ticipate In the festivities, which con-
sisted of m excursion train from
Steamboat to Reno and back. Several
hundred ladies and gentlemen were OH
hand, first going to Reno and greeting
its liberal and kind-hearted people,
many of whom returned with the ex-
cursionists to partake Of a most bount-
iful collation., supplied by Mr.. Legate
Of Virginia City, and spread In the
large warehouse of the Railroad Com
pany. Everybody enjoyed the festiv-
tiles, and a most excellent time was
had generally. No doubt the day will
long be pleasantly remembered by
those present. No less than six news
paper men were present, all of whom
seemed as "happy as a clam at low
tide" The extension Of this branch
Of the V. and T. r. Il. was only COM
menced about the middle Of last July,
since which time an excellent and
substantial bridge, some 500 feet lon 3
and twelve miles of the railroad has
been constructed, and which Is now In
tirstrate running order, bringing pas
senger and freight trade within eleven
miles of Virginia City, direct from the
great Central Pacific Railroad. The
extension of the railroad will be pushed
right ahead towards Carson City, and
we are assured by Captain Holmes,
the heavy-work man of the road, that
some time next May it will be com.
pleted to Carson, and the Virginia and
rruckee Railroad as first conceived
will be truly an accomplished enter
prise-a continuous iron rail- from
Virginia City to Reno.

Much COVETED PRrzE.-Through
the fundamentally of Major Kerns, a
fine gold medal, worth $3.50, Is being
gotten up as a brigade medal for the
best shot among wi citizen soldiery OF
Virginia and Gold Hill. The compa-
mics composing tho brigade, the Ma
tional and Emmett Guards Of Virginia,
and the Sarsdsld Guard OF Gold Hill,
will pick fourteen men from each
their best shooters, Of cou1se-and
these are to have three shots each at a
target, and the best shot wins the prize
medal. The target ground will be the
same used by the Nationals at their
recent annual excursion, just east o.
the Divide, near the first tunnel Of the
railroad. Unless the Nationals DO
closer shooting than they did on that
occasion, however, tho Emmets or the
Sarsfelds will take the medal. The
only part of the target that was no!
hit. was the bulls eye. 1t would
bs a cav Joke II Gold Hill should win
that medal. The trial Is SGT for about
the 2Oth.-two weeks from to-day.
