The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1876-03-18

The party given by the Hamilton la
dies at Masonic Hall last Friday evening
was very jolly and a grand success in
every particular. The night was clear
and cold, and the committee having
charge of the sleighs succeeded admir-
ably in getting the company together in
good season-many of the ladies escort
ing their partners to the hall. On arriv-
ing at the hall the reception committee
were on hand to look after the gentle
mems overcoats, wrappings, etc., usher
them into the ballroom, and procure
seats for them. where they were expected
to remain until invited to dance. The
dancing was under the direction of Mrs.
Wm. Pardy and Mrs. j. w. Brown be-
fore supper, and by Mrs. Geo. P. Nc
| Conkey and Mrs. M. Peters thereafter.
Their management was excellent, and
gave very general satisfaction. with this
| exception. that there were some strangers
| present who did not get as much dancing
as they would have liked. The only
apology that we can offer for the ladies
in this matter is. hat they regret this
little slight to those gentlemen, and will
at the next ball endeavor to make amends
for the oversight. Lunch was served
| about IL o'clock, all the ladies' taking an
active part in serving their partners and
others. The supper had been prepared
entirely by the ladies. and of course was
excellent and ingreat abundance. Those
who did not get dancing enough, had a
splendid opportunity to make up the de-
fciency in good eating. The lady who
made the cream cake for that occasion.
we have engaged for our second wife
when her husband dies. Prof. King fur
nished the music, which was excellent
and gave general satisfaction. In fact
everything was tip-top, and the ladies are
entitled to great praise for the manner in
which the whole affair was conducted.
The gentlemen only regret that all the
parties given are not of the leap year
kind, for they save a deal of trouble and
does not cost anything. The ladies fully
demonstrated that they are competent to
manage an affair of this kind, as their
party is universally acknowledged to
have been the largest and most enjoyable
of any that has taken place here during
the past two years. Financially the
party was a success all bills lave been
paid and there is an overplus remaining
in the treasury, which, we suppose. will
be donated to some foreign missionary
society for the enlightenment of the
heather. The ladies and gentlemen were
most gorgeously dressed. Some of the
ladies dresses were really superb. Fol-
lowing are the names of a portion OF those
