ball of the employees of the Virginia
and Truckee Railroad Company.
There was an impression in this
community that the attaches of the
Railroad Company were composed
of hoodlums, disreputable charac
tiers and blackguards. That i'm
preston was instantly dispelled
upon entering the hall; tor the con-
duct of affairs were in the hands of
gentlemen, as was plainly TO be
seen. The management, consisting
of Messrs. Hobart, Havenor, Ard
cry, and Yeomans, aided by Mr..
Clark, eXerted themselves continu-
ously during the evening, to render
the enjoyment of the guests as COM
plete as possible. There was neither
fuss, feathers, Boston dip, or non
sense; but everything was conduct
ed i'll sensible, old fashioned, cor
dial manner, showing a great con-
trast between the management of
other parties previously given here
this winter. The music, consisting
of six pieces, under the leadership
of Professor Jacobsen, was most
excellent; while the supper, pre-
pared by Messrs. Corbett, was never
equalled in Carson, and seldom ex-
celled in more pretentious COM
munities. About eighty couples
were present : Carson, Virginia,
Reno, Gold Hill, and other adjacent
localities being fairly represented.
Superintendent Yerington, Secretary
King, Ticket Agent Thornton,
Messrs. Hunter, Ardery, White,
Wiley, Vail, Sperry, Foulks, Ryan,
King, Ames, and others participated
in the festivities of the occasion.
An innovation upon the usual
order of things caused much COM
ment; as to whether the introduce
ton was in good taste or otherwise,
your readers must be the judge.
present the case as it TRANSFERRED.
Several ladies appeared upon the
floor of the hall in walking dresses
and hats on, taking part in the
various dances as presented in the
programme, and so continuing
through the evening. Not being up
in these little affairs, am unable to
judge whether such appearance was
in good taste or not. What say
you, Mr.. Editor?
