STAG PARTY IN THE PARK. A Jolly Time for Jolly Fellows Out
 at Leonhardt's Casino.

The private stag party given at the Leonhardt Casino in Golden Gate Park last evening was an event long to be re- membered by the jolly good fellows who attended.
 The merry old stag waltz, the two step and the five were danced as merrily as if the fairer sex was unknown and the fancy dances and that dance of twists seen so often by travellers in the far East, were performed to perfection seldom seen.
 Music and the echoing sounds of laugh ter and merriment from the picturesque resort in the depths of the solitude of the south drive at such an unseemly hour of the night had the effect of startling the passer-by and encouraging him to double his speed in the opposite direction to get beyond hearing distance of the mysteri- ous sounds, as the surrounding beauty of the park when disturbed by anything out of the ordinary has the effect of produc- ing a peculiar influence on the imagina- tion which Is often anything but con genial to comfort in a lonely place.
 There were jolly fellows galore in the brilliantly lighted dining room of the hos telry, and the stag ended in a whirl of pleasure-all being happy and extremely jolly,

 Consent.
