o WY LIZ. mary WdlheI.
The invitation social Of the Big Sun
flower Club of Eureka took place last
night at the Opera House. Everything
combined to make it a complete and bril-
liant success. To start out with, the
weather was perfection. A prettier night
the Sunfowers themselves could not have
asked for. The mercury in the thermom-
eter, as If yielding to the charm of the
glorious flower, foated just at the right
notch. The temperature of the hall
could not have been as well regulated by
any artificial means as it was by suspicious
nature.
H FLOOR
Was in frst-rate order, smooth, clean and
springy; and it was remarked by a gentle
man, who had tripped his fantastic toe on
almost every dance-f1oor in Nevada, that he
had not seen any other in the State equal
to it. The hall was brilliantly illumin-
ated in every part, and there were such a
profusion Of lamps that a shadow could
not be made in any part Of the room. On
the stage were to be seen the best must
clans in Eureka-which is no mean COM
pliment to
FRANK REIGELHUTH's BAND,
Composed of himself first violinist),

This a~ssemblage Of substantial citizens
and handsome ladies filed the hall just
comfortably. Owing to the perils and
pains of such an undertaking, no effort
will be made to jenkenize. The ladies all
looked we'll, and some Of them were very
deliberately and nicely attired. The per-
sonnet Of the gentlemen-that is, Of the
Sunhowers-was gorgeous. The members
OF the committees we're attentive and
courteous, and spared nc pains to make
everybody at home and happy. Dancing
was continued until l o'clock, when by the
rule Of the Club, the soiree ended. No
special supper was PROVIDED, ana the
dancers had an opportunity to pair off and
distribute themselves at the restaurants as
they saw fit. 1t has not yet been decided
how often these socials will be given, but
probably they will be given once q month.
They will be the parties Of the season.
The Club is to be congratulated N the n
tire success OF their first soiree.
The reporter is almost an entire stranger
in Eureka, and if in the hurry to get to
press anybody's name has been left out or
the report Is jumbled. just say, "Well,
that is not his regular business"
