THE LAMOILLE SUNDAY

On Saturday last Mr. George

the conveyance was decorated.
They seemed like animated bou-

moved off enrnute 20 the spacious
lawns at the residence of MIR Chas
Clubine, where in the "shade of
the old apple trees" tables and
swings had been prepared for the

OtfiIers and friends of the school,
forty in all and a most delightful

vided by the hostess. Under the
able management Of Mrs Clubine
and her sister Mrs Shawler not a
dull moment wass pent; and when
later in the afternoon huge trays
of ice cream and delicious cakes
appeared. the joy of the children
was complete. With a hearty
three cheers for the hostess and
also for Mr. Bowers the children
again filled the hay rack and set
out for home. not an accident of

west of Elko by the engineer of a
passing freight train this morning
The remains were brought to Elko

was a check book found on the per-

RECORD BULLION SHIPMENT

Considerable discussion has been
caused by the statement in this
paper last evening by a correspond
emit, that the shipment Of S1,099.-
000.7l worth of bullion on Decem-
Der 81, 1877. was the largest made
at any one time from the Comstock.
Some r inclined to question this
statement claiming that in the
spring of 1876 the centennial year:
one shipment was made of over
$4,000 600. We have diligently
searched the old files of this paper
and are of the opinion that the 1877
shipment was the largest amount
sent out at one time. We find that
in the Year 1876, Con. Virginia in
the month of March alone extract
ed and milled the fabulous sum of
S3.l25,000 and some say that it
was in excess of s. $500, 600. The
actual time, however. are the first
named. and is no doubt the record
months production of that great
mine. This b llion was all shipped
during the month, but the records
fail to show that over $500, 900
was sent out on any one train.
The paper of Jan l, 1887, states
clearly that the one million, one
hundred thousand consignment of
the night previous was the record
for a single shipment.-Virginia

A. A. U. Meeting.

| NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Perhaps the
most important of the additional
rules" suggested at the annual con-
vention of the A. A. U. here today is
/ that dealing with the scoring for a
point trophy and how it shall be de-
cided in case of a tie. The scoring
shall be ON basis of 5, 3 and l for
first, seconds, and thirds, respectively,
according to the plan now proposed.
Should two or more clubs tie for tro-
ply the club with the most first shall
be declared the winner, and should it
happen that there might be a tie the
club with the most thirds can claim the
trophy. Events not on the program
cannot count, neither can novice con-
tests or closed competitions.
In future when an athlete registers
he must state the name of the club
he wishes to represent. Athletes, too,
will have to be more careful about
their details of travelling expenses.
No ''phoney" expense bills will do,
and only first-class railroad fare and
beard to the amount of Sc per days will
