. The TURN VEREIN PIcSIc.-The
grand May picnic Of the Virginia Turn
Verein commenced In capital style
yesterday at ~llildebrand's Pleasure
Gardens. Virginia. All the festivcly
inclined from Gold Hill and Virginia
were there, and nobody ever saw a
more jolly and gay festival. Men.
women and children crowded the
grounds. and everybody had a good
time. Fun, amusement and refresh
ment were the order Of the occasion.
The spacious dancing hall was densely
crowded with gay terpsichoreans, the
music was Of the best, there were
plenty of choice eatablcs and drinEa-
bleS. the weather was fine. the exer-
cises of the Turner's were highly Inter-
esting, including climbing the creased
mole and other hilarious oddities,
and the dancing was kept up
till n late hour OF the night,
the grounds being finely Illuminated.
The picnic Is being continued to-day
with good attendance, and closes with
another grand ball this evening. For
further particulars see advertisement
in another column.
The RINGLEADERs CoMING.-Jones
and Sharon are expected to return to
their respective homes In the happy
land of sagebrush, about the last Of
this week. The fire in the mines IS
extinguished, and the terrific blaze Of
excitement regarding it Is ilickcring
very low. We doubt not that both
gentlemen will be allowed to arrive,
and In fact be given tho freedom OF
both Gold Hill and Virginia, with no
serious molestation ut the hands Of
busted stockholders. The rings Of
which each we're leaders are not so
rich and powerful Is they were three
weeks ago, but perhaps II both will
stay here in the saScbrush awhile,
away from the Stock Board, stocks
may take a favorable turn once more.
Perhaps 1t might be advantageous to
have them change about for a few
weeks-Sharon turning "bull' n
Jones ''bear."

W home, Carson Valley, oy Billy
Wilson, the day succeeding the accl-
dent.

week longer to big houses.
