A SOCIAL EvENT.-In the list of holiday
festivities, with descriptions of which the
columns of the society papers abound, we re-
greet to notice the omission of the entertain
ment at the saloon of our fellow. citizen Owen
Hannah. Mr.. H. is E, "son of the ould sod, "
| as are most of his customers. and on Christ
mas eve he entertained his friends il regal style
The guests commenced assembling early in the
evening, and before midnight, thanks to the
generous dispensation of inequalities, they
were in that happy condition which it be-
|
Fourth of July. Then the festivities
eliminated in a most enjoyable enter
tainment to al concerned. Mr.. McFadden
engaged in a dispute with Mr.. O'RRfferty
and in 6 short time there was a general
| fight. Outsiders attempted to interfere, but
were assured that it was only q friendly
squabble, entirely free from any i'll feeling.
| The guests were covered with blood and
dozen were fighting at one time all in a
!
| the part of outsiders to interfere WAS checked
| by the host who declared that the boys were
"only having a little fun" The next morn.
ing one of the guests who had not had the
good sense to go home, appeared on the scene
! and renewed the "discussion," and was
promptly knocked down for bis pains, and
givea head that resembled "pizened
pup" A surgeon was called to examine him,
the by.standers fearing serious regults, but
the doctor felt Of his pulse and professionally
advised his friends to take him home and
sponge him of, and he would be ready for
another round in the evening"" The affair
was enc that will no doubt be long remem-
bered by the happy participants, at least
until they shed their court plaster and tneir
eyes resume their natural color.
NEW YEARS CALLERs.-In the New Years
calling Tuesday there was q modification
somewhat of the usual customs, which was o
decided improvement, and will go far toward
the establishment of custom that was sup

ond, that those who called this year consisted
almost entirely only of gentlemen who would
feel privileged to call on the family at any
time during the year There was no assem-

walton, il I. number Of cases, was the send
ing in Of cards first. The Aztec end Eureka
| Social Clubs also kept open houses and enter
| tained their friends right royalty. The cards
of some of the callers and the souvenirs given
| by some of the ladies were unique in design
and beautiful. One young lady, when asked
! for a souvenir or card, would say. Gary

of the coat q tiuy nickel plated lock-Carrie

will be completed on the 10Th of January.
Several civic societies are endeavoring to Sc

of christening it with festival, knowing full
well that the first opening of this, one of the
grandest buildings ON the Pacific coast, can
not help being an immense success. Ed. f.

adopted, and canrot help being popular.
