The Masquerade Ball.

Ii would require much more space

No. 80 Of the X. Of p. 1t must there
fore suffice to say that it was a gilt
edged success from the grass roots down,
every feature Of which was, in an emf
nent degree, satisfactory to its patrons.
The music by the Hill City orchestra
was rs smooth as oil, as melodious as
the tongue of the lark, faultless in its
harmony, and as regular in its time as
the ticking of a clock. The supper pro-
vided by the ladies Of the Catholic
church was exceptional in its pleasing
variety and surprising excellence, and
we are pleased to note the fact of their
having realized a net profit from the
were well chosen, as shown by the close
attention given to their important
duties, to which is due no small share
Of the market success of the occasion.
The entertainment was literally pat
ronized, the hall being fairly filed.
One hundred and ten masks were count.
ed by a CHRONICLE reporter, represent
ing so many different characters as to
render a description out of the question.
Many of the costumes were very elabor-
ate and attractive, while others, more
conspicuous for their grotesque char
acter, were a source of much amuse
ment. 1t is unnecessary 10 say that the
japanese Sailors were we'll up on the
list of the taking cards of the evening
and were simply out Of sight, before
| eleven o'clock.
The X. P's in this instance have add.
ed another score to their long list OF
successful entertainments, which have
passed to the record without a single
| failure.

The Rapid Journal enormously stated
in a late issue, that Col. Richard Lee
had been successful is establishing a
first class lunch route at Cripple Creek,
Colorado, and that he had already de-
parted for that place. This is a most
pronounced libel on the illustrious
colonel, who is at present peregrinating
the prominent thoroughfares of this
city, claiming to be the proud possessor
of the most valuable gold mine in the
world, the Gen. Grant, located in close
proximity to the celebrated Keystone,
| in Pennington county, and We infer from
the colonels description of his ore that il
will run at least 2000 pounds to the ton
The colonel is radiant with hope, and
visions of gittering golden realizations
are crowding thick and fast upon his
| confding mind
