lows Hall, was a very fine affair.
Being the first ball yet given In the
new hall, the occasion was one of unit
sual interest," and, altogether, such as
the company and their friends might
well feel proud Of. The music. by a
band Of sixteen picked musicians, led
by Prof. Carl York, was the best evei
given this side Of the Sierra Nevada
mountains, and the decorations OF the
hall, including the garden scene upon
the upper deck, at the west end, were
of the highest order Of artistic merit.
Jos Josephs one OF the most active
and efficient members Of the company,
was the supervising and executive ar
tist, and deserves great credit. There
were garden walks, flower beds, trel-
liSsd arbors, and beautiful green trees
with paroQuets, and all sorts of sing
ing birds In the branches, to say moth
Ing of one big gray monkey who could
eat more cloves and do more eccentric
mischief than any monkey we ever saw.
The "old gray goose" was also there
wandering through the walks OF this
miniature Falkland, evidently looking
for A pond to hathe in. The fountain
In the center Of the hall was also an
object o. peculiar interest and beauty.
,Jets of water about the size OF Knitting
needles were thrown to tile height OF
four or five feet. falling in cool, gentle
sprsy into a large tin basin, In which
suorted goldfish, frogs, and other AL.
nhiSious pets. A second and larger
bs,in caught the overtiowings, and the
whole wai surrounded by a neat little
trsllised fence. The assemblage pres
emit was tho largest ever seen at any
ball given In this section. Gold Hill
being very literally represented;
Dancing was kept up till morning, and
the bali was one OF the best given TINS

PARs,NoNIous.-The committee OF
