The social party given by the young
ladies' Of Custer to their gentlemen
friends at the Evergreen Palace of
Pleasure" Gas the elegantly decorated
hall, ~improyised for this special &C.
casion was appropriately styled was
probably n Of the most, if indeed it
was not the most pleasing and enjoyable
entertainment that has eyer been ex-
perienced in the Pioneer city. The
bare and forbidding walls of the hall,
which, by the deft and artistic hands Of
the fair promoters Of this recherche
affair, were 30 completely transformed
as to give ample warrant for the preten-
tious title conferred upon it, and the
faithful and persistent attention on the
part Of the ladies' to the comfort and
enjoyment oftheir guests vas as marked
as it must have been pleasing to those
upon whom their devoted attentions
were bestowed. The means Of enjoy.
ment were varied and delightful, EN-.
b~racing dancing, social games and
pleasing converse, all Of which were
ardently INDUCED and greatly enjoved.
Choice and dainty refreshments were
served, which added another pleasing
feature to an occasion which all who
were so fortunate as to be in attendance,
will fond'y remember as a social event
that was replete with pleasing features,
and which they would doubtless be
highly gratifed should IT be duplicated
in the not distant hence. Limited space
precludes a description Of the excep-
tionally elegant and attractive evening
gowns worn by the fair entertainers,
which was a notable feature Of the &C.
~casion, and in the event of there being
anything mixed in this mention, ii may
be fairly attributed to a casual smile
from the "pink lady," from the effects
of which our society reporter. has not
yet fully recovered.

The board Of control Of the B. H. F.
A. met in parlors of the Deadwood
department yesterday afternoon. Pres
dent Wesley A. Stewart Of Sturgis pre-
siding. Every department belonging
to the association except Rapid City
was represented. The meeting was
called for the purpose of considering an
annual tournament. The matter was
discussed for two hours or more. A
motion to award the tournament to any
town that would guarantee 500 cash for
prizes was defeated. A motion toaward
the tournament to the town that offers
the greatest amount, bids to be filed
with the secretary on or before July 10th
was carried. Jas. Frawley, F B. Corum
and w. III. Bonham were appointed a
committee to open bids and award the
tournament. The concensus of opinion
was that all would join in this year and
give q good tournament for nominal
prizes, strengthen the association and
next year get up a tournament with big
prizes.-Pioneer Times.

Custer County Maligned.

The CHRONICLE is reliably informed
that q certain state official who does not
reside a thousand miles from Rapid
City, who, we regret to say, received a
majority of the votes cast in Custer
county for the position he holds, took
occasion to malign the county in a most
outrageous manner while travelling up
on an eastern train some time ago. Our
informant states that he denied in the
most positive manner the existence OF
mineral deposits of any value whatever
in any part of the county, and said much
to the detriment Of the same in various
other directions, leaving the impression
upon the minds of q large number OF
persons, the car being crowded with
people, that Custer county was utterly
devoid of all attractions for home
seekers or investors, and that it would
be entirely useless for them to give the
county any attention whom visiting the
Black Hills country.
That Custer county has been much
maligned by certain persons for the
purpose of promoting their own selfish
ends, cannot be truthfully gainsaid. but
that q state Official should be guilty OF
defaming q county Of such exceptionally
promising undeveloped mineral re-
