Their Thirtieth Anniversary.

Yesterday Mr.. and Mrs. L. Elkus cele-
brated the thirtieth anniversary of their
marriage, at their residence, No. sos G.
street. In the afternoon they had an old
fashioned family dinner party, which was
attended by all their relatives residing in
| this city and many from San Francisco.
Between the hours of 3 and 6 P. NJ. they
had reception for their friends, which
was largely attended. The host and hostess
were the recipients of many beautiful and
valuable presents. By far the most inter
esting feature of the days festivities was the
musicale rendered them in the evening by
their friends. Their large parlors, ana in
| fact every room in their residence. was
crowded, and the entertainment one of
great lollity, pleasing and interesting. The
programme was printed in a four-page,
Outbound pamphlet, OF elegant design,
and will no doubt be treasured bv
| those who received them as a souvenir
of the happy occasion. Those who
| took part in the musicale, although all
amateurs, did their work well, and each
portion of the programme was loudly ap-
plauded. Among those present were
large number of friends from San Fran
cisco and Oakland, and friends living in
| this city who have known Mr.. and Mrs.
EllSus intimately since their marriage on
September q, 1880. Those who took part in
| the musicale were seated in a circle. after
| the minstrel style, with middleman. two
| bones and two tambos on the ends all five

loud plaudits. Mr.. Feinloth, of San Fran
