MINERs, UNION BALL.
A Large Attendance. Good Music
and n Splendid supper.

The seventh anniversary ball Of the
Miners Union Of Ruby Hill was given at
Miners Union Hall last night. 1t was an
elegant affair, and one OF the most de-
lightful that has so far taken place under
the auspices of the miners. This may in
a great measure be due to the untiring la.
bors OF the various committees, but prin-
cipally Of the Committee Of Arrange
ments, consisting of Frank Williams, Jo-
seph Hancock and W. j. Penrose, who dis
played excellent judgment in the essential
preparations. The Floor Committee, Geo.
Dell, X. b. Young, Joe Hancock, Tom
Barnes and j. I. Richards, under the di-
rection Of James Rowe, also performed
their duties ia a manner that showed their
familiarity with ballroom etiquette, and
no n who could dance, and desired to do
so, was left an ornamental specta-
tor alongside the cold walls. The
programme Of dances was happily
arranged and promptly carried out. The
music was furnished by Prof. Plumhoff,
Frank Riegelhuth, George Come and Ed.
Pascoe, and these gentlemen certainly de-
serve the thanks of the dancers for their ex-
%cellent playing. The attendance filled the
hall to its full capacity, though the danc-
ing was not uncomfortable. A new floor
had been laid for the occasion, but it was
not quite smooth enough to admit Of the
easy, sliding movements which are the
poetry Of t~erpsichore. However, very lit
tie discomfort was experienced from that
source, and the constant whirl Of flying
feet gave evidence of general enjoyment
and v.Iaaanwn n..t41 a ---.I~- - r...l..
ladies graced the occasion. andaye honest
miner was moi slow in demonstrating his
gallantry toward them. Among the ladies
present the reporter noticed the following,
but in the fieeting crowd and constant in
terchange Of courtesies some may have es-
capped his observation:
Mrs. James Sweeney, Mrs. f. j. Mette,
Mrs. Seth Longabaugh, Mrs. j. L. Rich
ards, Mrs. VIM. Bryant, Mrs. Thos. Train
or, Mrs. II. Griffin, Mrs. James Johns, Mrs.
VIM. ~Tregonning, Mrs. King Heedey, Mrs.
Thos. Roberts, Mrs. j. w. Brown, Mrs.
bambert Molinelli, Mrs. Geo. Stone, Mrs.
j. Meg. Scott, Mrs. G. Schwamb, Mrs.
Dan Morgan, Mrs. Marion Ferrall, Mrs.
Aurora Mechanics, Mrs. VIM. Johannes,
Miss Emily Mette, Miss Rachel Frank, Miss
Esther Frank, Miss Maggie S~tinson, Miss

Kate Wadish, Miss Louisa Richards, Miss
Annie Smith, Miss Theresa Corella, Miss
Maggie Lynch, Miss Sallie Dunkle, Miss
Carrie Mette, Miss Minnie Schwamb, Miss
May Pemburthy, Miss Maggie Handley.
The supper was served at midnight at
Mrs. Kavanaugh's clearinghouse on the
bill above the hall, and near the old
Eureka Con. works. 1t was an elegant
spread, comprising all the substantial de-.
icacies in the market, prepared in a man
ner for which the lady has justly earned a
high reputation. Tables had been pre-
pared for forty couples, and fully this
number sat down to the tempting repast
with appetites as keen as tanner after his
fast. Dancing was resumed at n O'Clock,
and kept up till near daylight.
The ball throughout appeared to be- a
complete success, and the members of the
Union are entitled to marked credit for
the happy manner in which their enter
tainments pass off.
