ATTENDANCE AND HALL.

hall last evening by the Presbyterian
ladies, was in every way the most success
full home entertainment ever occurring in
Cheyenne. The uniqueness and novelty
of the affair was exceeding pleasing to the
senses. One nigh. INK that ladies who
became walking trade displays would lose
that grace of bearing q / charm of per-
s~onallty which charaa rizes the maids
and matrons of CHI yenue, but the
direct reverse was the case. All
exhibited rare taste and not
a little artistic skill in the arrangement
of their odd toilet. Many articles never
counted handsome were displayed with
telling effect.
The crowd out was really remarkable.
Keefe hall has been many times well
filed, but never before did il contain so
many people at one time as last night.
Everyone pronounced the hall decora-
tions, placed under the direction of Mrs.
o. f. Cowhick, very pretty. There were
lines of Japanese lanterns and pretty ban
ners.
COMPANY X.
Inman's orchestra rendered several
promenade numbers pending the appear.
ance of company K. Cheyenne militia,
in command of Col. Sitter. The mem
bership includes twcnty-fou handsome
young ladies in pretty uniforms of light
cream with black collars and sleeves and
white gloves. The muskets were wooden
limitations. Such drilling as this COM
pany did Is seldom seen anywhere. Chey-
emit Guards present frankly admitted
themselves outdone by the young ladies.
They moved with the military precision OF
veterans and executed the Llost compli-
Gated movements without a sign of con-
fusion. All seemed self possessed and
not a balk was made. The best and most
difficult figures formed were the
Latin and st. Andrews crosses. These
and other maneuvers were enthusiastically
a%pplauded.

II GRAND MARCH.
Now the Merchants Carnival com
menced. All eyes we're turned to the
door OF the annex, from which the pro-
cession was to proceed. Chas. Argeshei-
mer as L. j. fillmore and Capt. Sitter,
with Mrs. d. q. Rhodes for Zehner,
Buechner & Co, and Miss Fannie Crook
for the Warren Mercantile company, led
the grand cavalcade. The band struck
up a lively march and the column
quickly formed clear around the hall.
There were EXPLANATIONS of delight from
all quarters. for nothing half SO pretty has
ever been seen here. 1t was a reminder
OF the opening of a rieh dress ball in
which the maenihcance of costumes could
not be too e~xtravagantly described. For
