The Rev. NJ. w. Reed, of Denver,
who began the study of law in this city
over twenty-five years ago, and was for
some time one of our residents was de-
feated in the late election for congressman
from Colorado by Judge Symes, Repub

We mentioned in the last REPUB-
LICAN that there was some talk of the
ladies giving dance and basket party 10
their gentleman friends, and promised to
give full account should such prove to
be the case The efforts having been
successful, tomorrow Thursday night
will witness scene of gayety at the
Armory, to which place the ladies will
escort their blushing and bashful part
ners. There seems to have been some
misunderstanding concerning the refresh
ments, which are to consist of lunch which
each lady will carry in small basket for
herself aud gentleman. Owing to the
short time there has been to make all
arrangements, invitations have not been
sent to many who otherwise would not
have been omitted. To all such cordial
invitation is extended, none the less
hearty because general one and given
through the paper. Cards and tables will
be in the ante-room for those who do not
wish to dance. Excellent music will be
given, and ii is hoped and expected that
all will have an enjoyable time Tickets
are 81, and are now on sale at the post
Office, and will be sold at the Armory on
Thanksgiving night. Dancing will begin
at 1880.
