! l RINK SEASON.
 The skating rink season, which was opened last November in the opera house under the management of MT. D. H. Armstrong, was closed by that gentleman Monday evening at Goodman hall, by grand masquerade carnival, which was a success in every particular. Each unmasked before Mr. Armstrong on entering, so that he knew every one on the floor. Some of the characters were unique. It was certainly the most creditable little social that has been given in Tucson for long time. Be- | sides the usual domlnOs, there were representations of all the races, trades | and professions.
 Dancing begun at nine o'clock, and WAS continued far into the morning. The music was furnished by MOnt1o's string band.
 At eleven o'clock a prize waltz dance was had. Five judges closely watched the action of each dancer. At the close the first ladies' prize (half dozen tea knives) was awarded 10 Miss Della SmallwOod. Her partner wac Mir. Ed. Murray. The second ladies' prize was given to Miss Alice Schreiber. Her partner was NIT. J. J. Bhnkcorn.
