A $4,000 Reception.

One of the costliest entertainments
of the winter was given the other
night in a Fifth avenue restaurant,
which placed its largest room at the
disposal of the guests. The man in
whose especial honor the affair took
place comes from Austria, and the
plan of decorations was to reproduce
a country scene in his own country.
Hills covered with real foliage left the
center of the room valley in which
the host received. Seats were placed
on the knobs and lambs grazed there
when they did not stroll curiously
among the guests. A complete illusion
of a country scene was reproduced,
with great labor on the part of the
caterers artists and an expenditure,
says the New York Sun, of about $40,-
900 by the host.

RACE WAS NOT OVER.
Sam Had No Idea of Settling Down

Permanently With Ghost.
A well known local character is
Sam Wellington, colored man,
known as the duke The duke is a
fine cook, and often accompanies
camping parties.
Last fall a party of young men
Sam was with decided to scare him
with an apparition. Leaving the tent
in his charge one night, on pre-
tense of going to the village, one of
the party quietly returned enveloped
from head to foot in a sheet with face
well covered with flour. He took his
stand in the doorway. Suddenly Sam
looked up, and, emitting one horrible
yell, dove through the rear of the
tent and went down the road at ter
rife pace. The ghost pursued.
After about a mile of running the
duke was ready to drop, and sat down
on log, perspiring freely. The ghost
came up and sat down on the same
log, putting and blowing.
Absolute quiet reigned for a minute,
and then the ghost remarked in a dig
nifed voice: 1--WE went some, didn't

like castanets, replied: yes, we did
