PtPEE's OrEEA HoUsE.-Thsre was an
improvement in the attendance at the
Open House last night, on the occasion
Of the benefit Of Miss Ince and the first
representation Of the new play entitled
''Cloud and Sunshine" written ox-
pressly for Miss Ince. The play was
not a grand success. II was a spiritless
affair, and failed to excite more than 4
feeble interest in our thcater-goers.
There was nothing in 1t over which they
could become enthusiastic. Miss Ince,
as Diana. did her best to save the piece,
but il was a discouraging task. Messrs.
S.wtelle. Edmonds, Hinckley, Billings
and other members Of the company put
forth their best efforts, but II was n very
discouraginc business To- them indeed.
The play sounds" well enough as It
progresses, but the trouble is that there
Il nothing in il. In this respect 1t Is
something Of a curiosity. and, As 1t is to
be repeated tonight, we would advise
our readers 10 go and see it. IL IL worth
while to see something Of the kind DC
c~asionally, and Il is not often that aplay
Is produced for tho first time ON he
Open House stage. The entertainment
tonight will conclude with the farce en-
titled The Kitchen Lovers, in which
there is an abundance Of fun.
MrSERs' USIoS PIcSIc.-At an early
hour this morning u streets were alive
with men. women and children, dressed
in gay holiday attire, all bent on a full
DAYS enjoyment at the long talked-of
picnic excursion Of the Virginia Miners
Union 10 the Bowers Mansion in Washoe
Valley. Forty cars were engaged Tor the
occasion, twenty Of which came down
from Virginia City at $ o'clock crowded
so full u people that it would have
been difficult indeed 10 have added
any more. At Gold Hill fifteen
more cars crowded and famed To
,hsir fullest extent were added, ana
.mid the music Of the bands, n the
waving OF handkerchisfs freighted with
its load OF happy pleasure seekers the
80, moved on. Several more cars
we're attached at Silver. the Mound
House. and Carson City. All the
Livery teams in Virginia City and Gold
Hin have also been engaged. and the APP
-p..rs-cs. are that the picnic. in point
~ numbers. will fully equal that Of the
Pacific Coast Pioneers held last month.

the work Of constructing their new

On he reservoir. which 1t ia expected
