THE METROPOLITAN Adam
less Eden," an entertainment in which all
the participants are females, was presented
at the Metropolitan Theater last night to a
very good audience. Some thirty actresses
participated. The play of itself is light.
The main features are singing and dancing.
Some of the women are very shapely, and
their costumes were of such character as
to show off their anatomy 70 the very best
advantage No one was deserving of any
particular credit but it can be said in be-
half of those who appeared upon the stage
that they labored under the disadvantage of
q miserable orchestra. \ bass viol and
piano is hardly sufficient support for a
chorus of thirty voices. The audience,
10th down stairs and up VAS in
clined To be boisterous. So much so
that three eeniielaen who came
there with their wives left before the
finish OF the first act. Ii was noticed, how
ever, that the husbands returned and were
afterwards conspicuous in a front row of
seats. 1t is leg show, on a large scale
but il can also be said that nothing broad
or in the least approaching vulgarity was
noticeable upon the stage. With better
orchestra and the preservation of order in
the dress circle, the entertainment would
be much improved, both of which are
promised by the management i'll future.
The management, as an excuse for the
poor orchestra, said better was not OBJ
tainable last night, owing to the number of
other entertainments which took place.
There will be matinee this afternoon, 4
performance to night, also tomorrow night.

PIONEERS SoCIAL.-In November last,
the wives and daughters of the organiza-
ton of California Pioneers of this city, in
augurated series of Friday night socials
They became at once very popular, so
much so, that the hall was found to be too
small to entertain all who desired to par
ticipatc, and caused them to issue two sets
Of Invitations, zone portion being written
one Friday evening, and the other on the
next Last night being the last social for
the season, all were invited, and the result
was a regular jam. The upper floor was
used for dancing, the first floor for refresh
ments and games, and the basement was
utilized as a club room for the members
who did not desire to participate in dane
ing, and they had a genuine old time re-
unions of 40 ers, interspersed with speeches
and "reminiscences of pioneer days. George
w. Chesley, the President of the
Association, was master of ceremonies,
and much of the success of the entertain
ment was due to his untiring efforts to
make all in attendance feel perfectly at
homeand enjoy themselves The luncheon,
which was prepared for the occasion by
the ladies, was abundant and sufficient for
200 guests. The party at midnight sang
" Aud Lang Syne and dispersed.
