The puhIic Library

The public library Of Las Vegas for thu
past two years, has occupied rooms in tn,
city hall. 1t is under the management o.
the Women's Christian TemperanceUnion
Of this city, and is open every Saturday
afternoon from 2 o'clock till 5. The book:

ponsible person and kept two weeks, at the
end Of which time they must be returned
or renewed for two weeks longer, other.

scribed limit. A year ago, between seventy
and eighty new books were purchased fol-
the library, and this year about sixty more
have been added. The scores of person:
who withdraw books each week, attest its
popularity. Many Of these persons are in
valids, who are here without any other
source of pleasure or entertainment, and
who, no doubt, would miss these silent
friends.
The library contains many books which
are valuable, in a sense, but rarely con
suited. There are executive documents,
senate documents, of years standing, and
any one wishing to consult these has the
privilege of 's6lching from their musty
pages" congressional doings Of many SEES
sions past. Then, there are house reports
of two or three decades ago; census re-
ports and volumes of statistics with their
interminable lists of figures, which, from
earliest ages, have had a reputation for
not lying. Then there are law books for
him who wishes to wade through the in
~tricate windings of legal proceedings.
The new American Encyclopedia graces
the shelves of this embryo library. In the
more obscured recesses are to be found
magazines containing interesting ro-
mances, entertaining descriptions OF
travels, and poems by aspiring genius. To
the closed bookcase are novels, by a
variety of authors. The matches stories
Of everyday life by Dickens, fiction by
Thackery, and the inimitable plots Of
Wilkie Collins occupy a prominent place.
There is..a full set of the Waverly novels,
books by Charles Reade, George Eliot,
Humphrey Ward, Stowe, Alcott, Stockton,
all Of Cooper's works, and a host of others
by writers of lighter reading.
The poets are well represented. There
are some histories and a few books for
children. There are, in all, about 600 vol
umes, which one may read and enjoy.
When l go to the library for a book to in.

Feast Of Flowers.

Flora still reigns as queen In this city
and her reign promises to be remembered
long after the feast has ceased to be. Las
night being one of the loveliest, the hal
was crowded. The beautiful flower girl
the Misses L. and p. Baca, Ella Bernard
were too charming to be resisted by an,
| of the male sex, the numerous flowers sole
proved this.
The same delightful young ladies pre-,
sided at the Ice Cream tables, and Mr.. d
Mennet added very materially to cal
attention to the fact that there was 'sjusi
one more dish left" Mrs. Hilario Romero
was at the pottery booth, and many unique
articles in this line are to be seen. Toe
much credit cannot be given Mrs. DR.. Her.
nandez for the way she has planned and
carried the fair so far, and her work will nc
doubt be longe remembered by the church
for which she is SO ably working.
The stage in the concert hall had been
decorated with fresh flowers andthe charm
ing young girls who occupied the same made
a pretty scene.
The small boy selling pop corn and candy
as well as tie larger "boys'' who sold
lemonade, did good work. The concert
commenced at 800. and lasted nearly an
hour. The first on the program was an
instrumental duet by the Misses Cassiday
and Brehm which was we'll received by
the appreciative audience. Following
was the play given in Spanish which proved
that the several young ladies had been
we'll drilled.
Next was a duet by the Misses Cassidy
and Brehm of the convent.
Juan Clancy proved himself quite an
elocutionist, while the closing speech made
by Jack Mennet brought down the house.
The floor was then cleared and dancing
was kept up until a late hour. The latest
novelty was introduced in the way of raf-
ies, and that was by a small boy who was
trying to sell chances on a burro.
The young man who talked for half an
hour to secure a vote for the doll for one
of the girl'sat last succeeded.
