his popular coadjutors, Alice Dunning
Miss Dickey Lingard, Mrs. Gallon
and Mr.. B. Dunning. Lingard ha:
never yet appeared before a Washo,
audience, but his fame has gone befor,
him, and his famous specialties, O
which he was the originator, son thu
Beach at Long Branch" "Flyinf
Trapeze," walking Down Broad
way" "Captain Jinks," etc., have
been stolen and performed by Joe Muir
ply, Tommy Farron and others. None
Of these p~ersonators, however, ever
half came up to the merit of the origi'
nal, and now he comes with an extern,
sive new lot Of "specialties, as emu.
merated In our advertising columns.
In addition, however, he and his troupe
will present some new and very pleas
ing dramatic gems in which Lingard's
companions almost outriyal Lingard
himself. One Of our New York dra-
matte exchanges says: "Lingard Is
certainly the prince Of protean artists.
The theater is crowded nightly. 1t Is
seldom that one sees such queenly
beauty as Is defined in the charming
features Of Alice Dunning. She ap-
peared in the comedy of Naval En-
gagements,' to the bluff old Admiral
Kingston of William Horace Lingard.
The comedy proved the richest treat
| Of the season." But then our Califor-
mia exchanges also speak In fully as
high terms of praise. Bear In mind
that the box office Is now open and re-
served seats can be secured by sending
to John Piper or applying in person,
without extra charge.
The HYERs SIsrERs.-These truly
meritorious and deserving artists gave
their second concert ut Carson last
evening and were favored with an
even larger and more fashionable
audience than at their first concert,
which, as the Register truthfully re-
marks, is the strongest possible evil
dence that they are artists Of no ordi-
nary merit. The Carsonites were as
delighted with them rs were the criti-
cal residents of Virginia anu Gold
Hill. We believe they appear ut the
Reno Theatre tonight, and should
they give another entertainment OF so
at Virginia, we doubt not they would
be fully attended but this cannot be,
rs they are engaged to appear else
where. The Register says: G. l..
Graves, agent and manager for the
Sisters. has closed a contract with
lessee Clawson of the Salt Lake Thea
ire, by which these talented singers
are to give a series Of concerts In the
SANITY City, opening there on the
evening of the 10th of August. We
can assure our Mormon neighbors that
these tawny nightingales are among
the sweetest singers living.
HARD Ur.-Thinss being extremely
dull In the police business Mt Virginia,
Chief Downcy is enforcing the vagrant
animal ordinance, and in order to keep
his force Of "peclers" busily employ
ed and out of mischief, he started them
out on the hunt after stray goats all
around the city, along the side OF Mt,
Davidson, and any other likely place.
They find it pretty lively business too,
for those goats have already learned to
know 4 policeman the minute they
clap IN eye upon him. They are per-
fectly tame and docile when any ordi-
nary person is about, but just let them
see a ~"peeler" approach within five
rods of them, aud the way they will
cock up both head and tail and 60
bucking oil up the side Of the mountain
is jolly to contemplate. The police
men, too, are getting pretty cunning
and have to work a vast amount Of
strategy before they can get a goat to
pound, and secure the fee therefor.
New HorEL.-McMurtry, formerly
the popular landlord Of the Vesey
House, has purchased the commodious
one-story brick building at the corner
Of Main and Crown Point streets, at
the lower end of town, recently occu-
pied by Tom Finch as n saloon and
residence, and is turning 1t into u hotel.
! The lower floor will be for dining
| rooms, office, kitchen, etc., and he Is
| building a second story for lodging
rooms. McMurtry knows how to run
n hotel right, and this new one being
most excellently located, will doubt
less prove a gratifying and remunera-
tive success. We rs we'll rs numerous
other friends hope so. 1t is to be CON-
pleted ready for opening on the 10Th
of August.
GARRoTED.-Evening before last, at
Virginia, just after dark, n brakeman
employed On the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad, who had too much beer In
him, strayCd off down into the scaly
quarter below d street. He was sit
tin. on the edge OF All old sidewalk
booling alone, when he was suddenly
bounced upon by a couple of thieves,
who speedily relieved him Of his
watch, and a dozen or so meal tickets,
and then ran away, leaving him hall
cl,oked upon the ground. He made
his way up town u poorer and soberer
man, and lodged information with the
police, but no trace of his assailants /;
yet developed.
ANOTHER NovELTY.-The Sacra'
mento Reporter Of yesterday says
Tho great American Unknown Bush
man, who has been among US for some
days, and who has been the cen
tire Of attraction on account o
his extremely immense waterfall, tool
his departure yesterday, by the Contra,
Pacific Railroad, for Virginia City,
where he will hold out for u time-anC
then, and then-well, what then
During his stay about the depot yester
day, awaiting the departure OF tn
train, he created some little noise ant
attracted a crowd, by disputing with
baggage man about the price OF bag
gage carriage.
LADY BRYAN.-A fine body Of bette
ore than heretofore worked is recent!
developed in the south portion Of tn
Lady Bryan mine, above the sO-foo
level. 1t is showing more EXTENSIVE
as further developed, and assays iron
1t average over 800 per ton: In
next run of the Company's mill vii

dition, and the Company In fiourishini
circumstances, being out Of debt, ant
looking ahead In anticipation OF a pos
