ftllXKK*' U2VIO* BALL. |A Urge All«ult;lQBfe. Nnilcwad a Nplendiil Nnppir.Tho Hewuth anniversary ball of the Miners’ Union of Ruby Hill waa given at Minora’ Union Hall laat night. It waa an elegant affair, and one of the moat delightful that baa *o far taken placo under the auspices of tho mineri. Thia may in a groat measnro bo duo to the nntiring la* bora of tho variona committees, but principally of the Committee of Arrangements, consisting of Frank Williams, Joseph Hancock and W. J. Penrose, who displayed excellent judgment in the essential preparations. The Floor Committee, Oeo. I)ellf It. 8. Young. Joe Hancock, Tom Barnes and J. T. Richards, under tho direction of James Howe, also performed their duties ill a manner that showed their familiarity with ball-room etiquette, and no one who could dance, and desired to do so, waa left an ornamental spectator alongside the cold walls. The programme of dances was happily arranged and promptly carried ont. The music was furnished by Prof. Plumhoff. Frank Rlegelhntb, George Qonne and Ed. Paseoe, and these gentlemen certainly do-servo the thanks of the dancers for their excellent playing. Tho attendance filled tho hall to its full capacity, though the dancing waa not uncomfortable. A new .door had boon laid for the occasion, hot it was not quite smooth enough to admit of the oasy, sliding movements which are tho poetry of terpsichore. However, very little discomfort was experienced from that source, and the constant whirl of dying feet gave evidence of general enjoyment and pleasure. Quite a number of Eureka ladies graced the occasion, and yo honest miner was not slow in demonstrating his gallantry toward them. Among tho ladies pit/Venl the reporter noticed the following, but in ths Meeting crowd and constant interchange of courtesies some may havo escaped his observation:Mrs. James Sweeney, Mrs. F. J. Metto, Mrs. 8eth Lougatmugh, Mrs. J. T. Richards, Mrs. Wm. Bryant, Mrs. Thos. Train-or, Mr*. H. Griflin, Mrs. Jamea Johns. Mrs. Wm. Tregonning, Mrs. King llotley, Mrs. Thos. Roberts, Mrs. J. W.

Miss May Pembnrtby, Miss Maggio Handley.The supper was served at midnight at Mrs. Kavuaugh’s boarding-house, on the Hill above tho hall, and near tho old Eureka Con. works. It waa an elegant spread, comprising all the substantial del* icacies in tho market, prepared in a manner for which tho lady has justly earnod a high reputation. Tables had been prepared for forty couples, aud fully this uumber sat down to the tempting repast with appetites as keen as Tanner after his fast. Dancing waa resumed at one o’clock, and kept up till near daylight.The hall throughout apjKrarod to be. a complete success, and tho members of tho Union are entitled to marked credit for the happy manner in which their entertainments pass off.riELD * POETS.The Shooting Tonraamenl Below How Town Lnat Munday.Tho weather was very favorable to the shooters on Bunday. and a large crowd oollected on the Hat below New Town to participate in and witness the markman-ship of the second day of the tournamont. Tho shooting was a decided improvement on Hie Bunday previous, aa the splendid ■cores will show, and it demonstrates that if our marksmen continued to practice regularly they would have no superiors on tho coast. Tho target shooting commenced about 2 o'clock, and resulted as follows, 200-yard range, military rifles, six-pound pull of trigger, five shots each, highest possible score, 25:George Dell .. ........... 4 4 54 4—21Jack Stinson .........45 11 4—21William Wallace...........4 4 4 4 4-20Charley Harris............4 5 4 4 3—20James Tiokle............5 3 5 4 3—19John Paseoe .........8 3 4 4 4—18Andrew Stinson........... 4 3 4 4 3—18William Stinson............5 3 3 4 3—18Joe Hancock......... 4 4 4 3 3—18Sam Reynolds ............4 5 3 3 3—18Tom Hoskius..............4 0 3 4 4-15Tom Williams ......... 2 3 3 3 3-14fiarauel Jocks..............4 3 2 2 3—14Tom Barnes .............2 3 2 3 4—14Robert Rawlings...........4 2 4 0 2—12George Dell now holds tho leading position, and mileas he breaks down in the last competition, which will take place next Sunday, ho will oarry off the prize. He is making au excellent score. After tho main contest there wore several sweepstake matches, at whieh fair scoros were made.Tho glasnball match was a spirited affair. It had 11 entries, which included the crack ahota on the Hill. Four of these broke 14 balls in succession, but two of them, McGregor aud Reynolds, missed their fifteenth. There was little or no wind, and tho rustic trap sprung the brittle globes almost straight tip into the air. The score was os follows, the wiuner being entitled to a handsome silver mug :J.
