ALL DOUBTS VANISHING.

Of the success of the ST. Louis fair as an exposi-
ton Of the worlds wonders there was never any
doubt but Of the financial successof the affair there
were many doubts and they were grave for time.
But they are vanishing. OF the government loan of
$4600,000 more than onehalf has been paid off and
discharged. Secretary Shaw no longer looks upon
himself possible receiver for the enterprise and
there is balance the right side Of the ledger after
providing for the installments on the loan and the
per diem expense of $65,OOO All of which is not
only gratifying but a strong evidence of excellent
and of attractions unsurpassed on exhi-
bition
The St. Louis Globe-DemOcrat says "Let no
fainthearted community ever take on itself the re-
sponsibilities Of worlds fair" There is in that
statement suggestion for increased attendance.
Not only will no faint-hearted community take on
itself the responsibilities Of worlds fair, but no
sOuthearted community-for there will be no event
worthy of commemoration by world s fair until
the coming of July H. 1876-the bicentenary of the
birth of the United States Of North America

Brilliant Social Opening Of Las
Vegas Promising New
Organization
LARGE ATTENDANCE
Dancing, Progressive Euchre,
Music and Delicious Lunch,
the Features

Seldom in the social history of Las
Vegas have her citizens united to eel.
ebrate more brilliant function than
that held in the elegant rooms of the
Commercial club last night. Never
has there been a social event more
enjoyable. The occasion was aus
picious. The inaugural ball Of the
club called for the best efforts Of the
members. The membership had
grown rapidly. The business side OF
the club had been substantially and
satisfactorily established. II remained
for the reception and ball Of last night
to emphasize the social side Of the
organization. Needless to say the
emphasis was right capably given. The
affair was marked by entire informal
ity. DR.. B. D. Black. chairman and
a. r. Rogers, Jr., secretary of the en-.
tertainment committee, as well as the
members OF the committee and the
officers and directors OF the club, were
unfailing in their courtesy and atten-
tion.
In the card rooms of the club there
was eager rivalry for the highest num-
her of points in progressive euchre
In the case Of the ladies, the zest was
accentuated by the offer Of beautiful
plate to the leader. And that FORUM
ate lady proved to be Mrs. Jas. Dick
During the long evening the card
tables were crowded. and the fascinat-
ing pastime added much to the enjoy
ment Of those who cared not for the
graceful pastime Of the goddess Of
eld.
The specious Duncan opera house,
which had been borrowed to reinforce
the rooms of the club, presented at any
any time until O'Clock an animated
and joyous scene.
The seats had been removed from
the auditorium and the smooth floor
had been put in the best OF condition
for dancing. The Symphony orchestra
was the commended of all, for the ex-
cellent music furnished Time fleet.
ed carelessly as In the golden age
as the well arranged program was put
into effect, Saul Rosenthal officiating
as floor manager The devotees OF
the dance found the evening one Of
ideal pleasure.
During the evening excellent fruit
punch was served and as the time
wore away towards midnight. long
tables were spread in the banquet hall.
Here such delectabe dainties as
chicken salad. coffee, olives were
served.
Many gathered in and about the
music room and the quiet winter night
was vocal with their songs. The
guests had the pleasure Of listening 10
several selections by Miss Hartman
OF Chicago. the guest Of Mrs. Kohn.
One hundred and ninety-six guests
partook Of the midnight lunch, which
is equivalent to saying that more than
two hundred people assisted in The
initial social affair Of the Commercial
club.
The ball last night will. doubtless
be the forerunner Of many pleasant
events Of similar nature.

Charity ball. to be given in the grand
ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria to-
night, will probably exceed as a spec
tacle anything of the kind seen In New
York in many years All the impor-
tant military AMI naval posts this
side of Washington, including the cap
ital itself, Annapolis, Baltimore and
Philadelphia, and Governors Island,
the Brooklyn navy yard and West
Point, have sent their quota Of officers
to represent them, and il Is safe to
predict that in the opening march Of
honor the ensemble OF gold laced men
OF naval ana military repute will make
Ia striking picture.
The color effects of the scene will
be enriched by the appearance OF the
officers in their new regulation full
dress uniforms, which, in the matter
OF gold lace and other embroidery are
by far the most elaborate ever worn
by officers OF the American army and
