Ia 1851 $50 gold coins were issued at the
Assay Office in San Francisco. It is

nomination were coined and went into
use, but that they gradually disap-
peared, for the reason that they were

gold by reason Of the silver they con-
tanned in excess of the standard. They
came to be used for mechanical pur-
poses, or they were sent to the mint for

une, summing up at the close oil the en-
tertaInments there, said:
"The two performances given each
day have been marked by an attention
to business, by brilliant and novel acts.
and by splendid appointments. The
acrobatic display has been made up OF
new, dashing and expert feats. The
riding has included more real daring
work, both by the ladies-and gentlemen.

for many a day. The clowns have proved
merry and winning, and the attendants
well up i'll their work. In short. the
ring performances have been, In every
great and little essential, more like the
circuses OF happy cbildhood's memories
than we ever again expected to behold.
Ol course, with all its modern improves
ments, and the many valuable acces-
sions which latter-day experience and
enterprise has added, it is vastly supe-
rior to anything any of US ever saw when
we were young"

audiences in the impersonalien oT
"Queen Elizabeth" in Tom Tayl0r,s
"'Twixt Axe and Crown" and with no
small measure OF success, as the ar
plause OF the critics amply attesss. Int
terly, in our own circles. she has Esf-
denced considerable natural dramatic
power supplemented with eni-
ture and art. But recently, in c0nnac-
tion with the Davenport Club, her intel
ligent, correct reading, cultured way
OF illustrating conception, and natural,
graceful manners were universally re-
marked. The gifted young performer
possesses many signal qualifications as
an actress, and with industry, time aad
experience will develop and refine thOsB
qualities to the accustomed degree eE
