ment hall on Washington
street has been finally completed
and turned over to the proprietors,
Messrs. J. Celaya, jr., and J. c.

used. The hall is we'll ventilated
and every provision made for the
comfort of patrons. The rink will
be opened next Monday night.
The managers will provide music
for the opening and will make it
gala occasion.
Lights in great abundance are
wanted for the illumination of the
concert grounds in Carson Park

a complimentary affair, and admis-

in making such arrangements as
are needed for the comfort of the
audience. Any who can lend
lanterns will confer a great favor

Contrary to the expectations of i
the lessee, Mr.. McClintock. the
Miller hotel was not opened today
1t was found impossible to get the
work of repairing, painting, ETC.,
finished in time, and SO, much to
the regret of Mr.. McClintock as.
we'll as others. it was impossible
to have the opening today. 1t is
to be hoped that our citizens will
aid as far as they can in accommo
dating such of the homeseekers a,
may come here on the excursion,
which is now due. There are re-
staurants in plenty to provide for
a very large number of guests and
if rooms are provided for the visit
ors by those who have rooms to
spare, it will tide the town over
very disagreeable and deplorable
plight. and help to give visitors a
