music in this part of the State has been
secured. the hall will be comfortable and
everything done that can in any man
ner enhance the interest and pleasure

Is absolutely necessary that the names
and characters should be given to the
manager before going to the hall.
his Is a precautionary measure, the
necessity OF which is quite obvious TO
all. Once arrived at the hall it vii, not
be convenient for persons to disclose
their identity to the manager, and
hence ii has been thought best to adopt
the plan given above; that is to say
that all who participate must first secure
an admission ticket. None others will
be admitted under any circumstances
whatever. The entrance to the main
hail will be, as usual, on Buel street.
Spectators will be admitted to seats on
the stage-admission, 81 SO. The en-
trance for spectators will be on Spring
street, opposite the Episcopal church.
The grand march is to commence at 8
o'clock, sharp. 1t is designed that the
masks shall be removed at II o'clock.
Persons will therefore appreciate the
necessity of being on hand as early as

tie enough for disappearing. Sup
per will be served at the Eureka Hotel
Restaurant and also at Schacfcr's.

can procure them at either the Nevada

comprises about all OF the instructions
