AT THE TRACK.

It's the fashionable thing to drive down
to the Carson race track these evenings,
provided you have something of your own
to drive; and if You have not, then the next

you out for a spin. bloated capitalist of

to have turned his ear from the tick of the

TEMPERANCE REFORM CLUB.

This organization, the best we have ever
had in Carson, holds regular Saturday even
ing meetings at the Club Rooms, on Musser
street below Carson. To make these meetings
as attractive as possible, the Club members,
slorlousy assisted by the ladies' of the Tenn
perauce Union, at each Saturday evening
meeting offer splendid programme of musi
cal and literary exercises Tonight the en-
tertainment bill will be more than ordinarily
attractive, and will consist of an address,
prose and poetcal rectations, vocal solas,
DUETS, etc This Reform Club has done good
work in Carson. 1t has lived despite the
sneers of many who predicted for it very
short life, and it promises to live to accom-
pish more good work in the temperance
cause. Every argument based on morality
is in its favor, and as logical proposition
nothing can be said against it, Some of Car
sons best people are nobly devoting their
time and labor to the success of the Club and
to the Union, and they deserve the encour-
agement of every good person among us.
T." nights entertainment ought to fiji the
Club Room with good audience. and We
have no doubt it Will.

A COWARDLY ASSAULT.

About IL o'clock last Thursday night, as
we are informed by gentleman who lives in
the neighborhood, the Shreks of a woman
we're heard in house on Nevada near
King street Several parties quickly re-
paired to the house from which the screams
were heard, and there found the occupant,
Mrs. A. Whitford, suffering from a hand
blow in the face. Her story as given to
those who had been attracted to the place,
was substantially this: She returned from
visiting a sick person about IL o'clock at
night, and on entering her house met man
inside, who struck her a blow in the face,
rushed out into the street and made his
escape. The cowardly ruthan had entered
the house for burgarious purposes, but was
interrupted in his operations before complet-
ing his job. He succeeded, however i'll OBJ
tanning purse containing a small sum of
money. Mrs. Whitford was, of course,
badly frightened, and the nervous shock Was
followed by fainting spells. Carson, like
most of our Western Nevada towns, contains
too many on-producers, two many fellows
trusting to illegitimate means of beating the
world out of a living, and if some of them
are caught in their after dark transactions, as
they are almost certain to be, they will re-
ceive very rough treatment at the hands of
some Carson people we know of,

THE CALEDONIAN PICNIC.

The Caledonians aud their friends will
have a grand time of enjoyment to-day al

fourth annual picnic of the Virginia City
Caledonian Club. No people more thoroughly
understand and practice rational athletic
sports than do the children of old Scotia; and
we use the word children in comprehensive

and girls up to octogenarlans. To-day tx
ercises will consist of stone and hammer
throwing, foot racing, jumping, leaping,
6remens race, archery, target shooting, etc
The prizes embrace both useful and ornamen
tai articles, and are the most liberal ever
offered even by the Cdledonains The best
music TO be had in Nevada will play at the
grounds and in the pavilion, in which latter
place there will be dancing for those fond of
this sort of amusement. To-days picnic
promises to surpass anything Of its kind ever
offered in this part of the world. and every
thing points to big time to-day at the Tread

occasion will be perfect, aud, as is always

A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER. We Yesterday saw

aud a half in length, cup-shaped, and about
| four inches III width across the top of the
| flower. Under stron. sunlight The peta S
| have velvety appearance, and altogether the
flower is rich in tropical beauty. It is sug

Carson is now experiencing. In a gush of ad =
miration we showed the flower to party

reminding him of the Arizona desert, and
adding insult by some wretched joke about

IKE WALDER'S SLEIGH.

The stock Of sleighs improvisel for the
present occasion form an interesting study,
as nearly every one of them serves as an in
deX to the ingenuity and resources of the
owner. Most Of them are buggies and de-
livery wagons on runners. BY running q
properly curved gas pipe or bar OF iron
from axle to axle on either side, a sleigh is
completed fit for royalty itself For easy,
delicious riding they are matchless. Then
there are sleighs like Ike Walders, made
out of a dry goods box. In the production
of his sleigh Ike took counsel with all his
neighbors, his object being to make a
sleigh so internal rough and ugly, and so
liable to upset that nobody would either
steal or borrow it; and so uncomfortable to
ride in that he'd never use it the second
time himself. He finally decided upon the
plan, and has built the very sleigh he
wanted. 1t is three feet long, four feet
wide and five feet high, and has the ugly
habit of Tipping up behind, and
pitching the inmates forward between
the horses. 1t has been known to
90 a block and a half without mshap;
but before the length of two blocks is
made, it invariably rears up behind and
cmpties itself No man ever saw road
scraper that could flop half as quick; but,
SO far oil its efforts to flop DOUBLE somer-
sault, have proved abortivc. 1t is always
necessary to have Ike along, for he's the
only man living who can tell when the
thing is got to rights again. A stranger
would be as apt to use it upside down, on
It's beam end, or on one corner, as any other
way; and, although that would probably be
the safest way to use it, Ike won't permit
it, 1t is simply matter Of stubbomness
between Ike and the sleigh. He is deter.
mined that the thing shall run fright side
up" but the thing itself has fancy for
roofing its nose in the ground and elevating
its hinder-parts that is terribly exasperat-
ing, rather sudden, and decidedly danger
Gus, Ike will conquer if the repeated flop
pings don't kill him; but then what will
the sleigh be worth9 1t may be conquered;
but it will tear itself all to pieces first.
