THE cARs1yAI.-The Grand Skating

THE CARN1vAL.-The Grand Skating
Carnival and ball at Miners Union
Hall, Gold Hill, last evening, was, as
we predicted, the finest social affair
OF the kind occurring this season, to
say nothing of Its being the best ut
tended. The music, given by Russ In.
graham and the Gold Hill band was
all that could be desired in that re
spect, and there was plenty Of pedal
exercise both on md of the skates.
Those vino were OH the dance amused
themselves all they chose In that way,
while those who preferred the more
artistic aud %exhilarating exercise on
the light fantastic roller turned them
selves freely loose. The grand march
on the skates was a truly fine and
original feature, and there were rs
high as six complete skating quadrilles
on the floor at one time, the skaters,
both ladies and gents, going through
the various intricate eyolutions, under
the direction Of Professor Gould, In q
very commendable manner. The pref
tiest feature Of the evening, however,
was the fancy waltz Oil skates, by
Professor Gould and Miss Ida Knapp,
OF Virginia. A more graceful and,
In fact, really astonishing exhibition
Of marvellous experiences on the roller
skates Is seldom seen. Miss Knapp,
however, is the acknowledged best
lady skater In this section. The new
inferred floor of the hall Is a decided
success, the skaters gliding over 1t as
smoothly as on ice, and without the
noisy, rumbling roll peculiar to single
and less substantial floors when the
skaters are passing over them. Quite
q large number Of ladies and gentle
men from Virginia were present, and
this Carnival was n decided success In
every respect the principal object of
1t being accomplished In raising funds
sufficient to pay for the new floor.
'ris we'll, and the Ladies' Mite Society,
rs we'll rs all others concerned, are
deserving of much credit for their un-
wearicd and successful efforts.
SEVERE AocIDENT.-About II O'Clock
A. NJ. to-day Fred Joy and william,
Messerve, of this town, who had been
attending the grand Skating Carnival
of last night, were driving ut a rapid
rate down through Silver City, In a
two-horse buggy, when at the lower
end of the town they met with n very
severe accident. They apparently were
attempting to stop at the Sierra Ne
vada Hotel, but the team still rushing
forward rapidly ran the off wheels OF
the buggy against two posts In front
of the House. One post was torn up,
but the second post stopped the buggy
and threw down n of the horses.
Messerve, who was driving, was thrown
over the dashboard upon the fallen
horse, and Joy was also dashed VIC
lently out, striking his head against
the stone front of the house. He was
picked up insensible, but subsequently
recovered his senses. His head did not
seem to be much injured, but he bled
very profusely from a deep wound IN
his throat. apparently produced BY
coming In contact with some pointed
article. He was at first thought to be
fatally injured, but at latest accounts
the opinion was that he would recover
Messerye was but little injured. DIS
Kirby and Webber rendered the requi.
site surgical assistance. Neither the
horses moi buggy were much injured
