Gold Hill can get up a pretty good
representation herself when she tries,
and raise more good looking ladies,
too. judging from the assemblage Of
last night.
The Dresses.
None Of the ladies were extrava-
gantly dressed, yet for sensible, neat,
attractive appearance they were not to
be surpassed, and as to the gents, they
also were more or less elegantly at
tired. never allowing any Virginians
to Guido them In that respect. We
don't mind mentioning a specimen or
two, carefully su~ppressing their names
out of regard to their inherent
modesty.
Billy E-sse, a fascinating blonde,
robed in = genteel claw-hammer
of cross-grain broadcloth, with black
buttons, blue necktie, vest open at
bosom. boots on, and hair a Ia Webster.

earrings, shirt Of white linen with
Byzantine flutings worn open at back,

belle of the evening. Shirt beautifully
starched, with Charlotte-russe Fittings,
bewitching smile. double-tailed coat,
with pants to match, and hair a Ia
Pincho,eer-scanty on top.
But this will suffice. Most OF the
gents were equally well dressed, and
not proud. The supper furnished by
Lowrey. ut the Vesey. was excellent,
and the ball was kept up with spirit
till nearly daylight.
