Tho SmcIter Trnck.

On Sunday last a circle branch railroad
was laid from the track of the Denver &
Rio Grande to the smelter. 1t made the
curve on Ninth street, between the track
and the new iron bridge, and takes up con-
siderable of the street. The Importance of
the enterprise is so great that our people
feel like being very lenient with the new
firm, particularly since it made such
liberal offers to Mr.. A. Macon, who insisted
on an exorbitant SUM for the use of few
feet of useless land. Mr.. Briggs, the road
master, is filling in between the tracks and
will leave the road as smooth as at any rail-
road crossing. Mr.. A. Macon obtained a
few signatures to a remonstrance against
using Ninth street for the tracks, but soon
after Mr.. Sell started out with his counter
petition there was hardly enough room on
the paper to add another name.

The Social Club,

The Social club gave hop at Blake's
hall on Wednesday, which was well at
tended, and which was the source of great
deal of pleasure. The hall was, as usual,
in complete order and the floor waxed for
the occasion. The band seemed to enter
into the spirit of the occasion, and the
music was all that the most critical could
desire. The dancers seemed determined to
enjoy themselves to the fullest extent, and
the evening may be recorded as one of the
pleasantest of the season. Among those
present were Mr.. and Mrs. T. NJ. Harding,
Mr.. and Mrs. McIntire Mr.. and Mrs. West
lake, Mr.. and Mrs. Gumaer, Mrs. Reynolds,
Miss Mary Mulock, Miss Ada Mulock,
Miss Macon, Miss Harsha, Miss Nelson,
Misses Pattee, Miss Mitchell, Misses Free

MINSTRELSY.
The Canon City HIastodons Give an
Entertainment.

On Monday evening last the Canon City
Mastodons, an amateur minstrel company,
composed of young men of this city, ap-
peared at Blake's hall, before full house.
Before speaking of the performance it is
but justice to those who participated to
say that they labored under very embar-
RAISING circumstances. Several of the
principal characters had been allotted to
students of tine Military college, and after
these young men had rehearscd repeatedly
and become perfectly familiar with their
parts, Oh the day preceding the evening
for which the entertainment had been
announced, Colonel Sawyer, president of
the college, forbade them to attend. This
threw the remaining members into the ut
most confusion. Manager Harry McClana-
han, of the minstrels, had labored assidu-
ously to make the entertainment success,
and thoroughly advertised it. Neat per-
fumed programmes had already been
printed the hall arranged, and every pre-
paration made for Monday evening. With
commendable spirit, he determined that
the performance should take place, and it
did, though far less attractive than it
would otherwise have been, as the mai jority
of those who appeared had never been on a
stage before, and were not called upon
until few hours before the curtain rose.
Nevertheless, despite these embarrassments,
at 8 o'clock the Parlar orchestra opened
with n few choice airs the hall was filed
with people, among them Ca1on's best
society; and few moments after the cur
tain rose on n fine array of talent in burnt
cork. Messrs McClanahan and Conaway
were the end men, while Mr.. j. p. Day
acted as interlocutor. The overture, by
the Parlor orchestra, over, the minstrels
gave fine opening chorus, which was well
received. Mr.. McClanahan then rendered
Mary's Gone With Coon" in his we'll
known excellent style, and was followed
by Master William Warner, who sang " A
Flower From My Angel Mothers Grave"
Mr.. McClanahan then rendered another
plantation song, entitled DE Colored Hop"
which was loudly applauded. Then fol-
lowed the second part, consisting of dances,
farces, etc, all of which were creditable,
each performance receiving persistent en-
core. Among the leading features of this
part of the performance we can but men
ton the clog dancing of Master William
Warner and the banjo playing of him and
his older brother, E. Warner. Mr.. Nc
Clanahan's rendition of "Gwine Back to
Dixie" in character, and the accompanying
essence" were gems in themselves, and
brought down the house. A farce entitled
The Fisherman's Luck" by Messrs. Day
and McClanahan, was well put on, and re-
ceived its full share of applause. The en-
tertainment closed with an amusing bur-
llesque, in which Messrs McClanahan,
Conaway and the Warner brothers took
part. We congratulate the amateurs on
their success, and feel confident that, un-
der different circumstances, they would
have given as good a show as many pro-
fassional frouneS are camille of DOING
