GOLD HILL, : : FRIDAY. JUNE 6, 1878 STOCK REPORT. Nene Stock, | Opening |24. Calt.| loving New York AND New OnLEANS Circus.—The New York and New Or leans Circus Troupe arrived in Vir ginia City at about 9 o'clock this morn ing. This forenoon they treated the residents of the city to a grand tri umphal procession. ‘The band wagon was drawn by a team of ten dromeda ries, following which were open carri ages, containing lions, tigers, leopards, etc. The next in order was a magnifi cent cavalcade of ladies and gentle men, mounted on superb steeds, together with children seated on di minutive ponies. ‘The hippodrome and menagerie form unquestionably the largest and finest show that ever visited the Pacific coast. The place selected for the exposition to take place was the baseball grounds near the Nevada Brewery. An immense crowd of people attended the circus this afternoon, ‘no mammoth tents were required for the exposition. ‘The menagerie appeared to contain more animals than Noah had with him in the ark. ‘The equestrian and acro batic performances in the circus pavill ion were superlatively good. ‘The Company will give another entertain ment this evening, commencing at 8 o'clock. A Goop Snowre.—The Figaro of San Francisco has the following under the heading of ** Mrs. Bowers in Vir ginia City: ‘We have received through J. H. McCabe’s Dramatic Agency, the following report of the business done by Mrs. D. P. Bowers at Piper's Opera House during last week, which proves the people of Virginia City, Nevada, to be fully as apprecia tive of dramatic talent as those of San Jose. Monday, ‘ Lady Audley’s Se cret,’ $714; Tuesday, ‘East Lynne,’ TOL; Wednesday, * Elizabeth,” $900 ; Thursday, * Leah,’ 3506; Friday, * Hunchback,’ $773; Saturday, mati nee, *East Lynne,’ $308; Saturday night, ‘Ingomar,’ $570; making an aggregate of $4,471, pretty good for a town stuck up in the mountains.’? We may state in addition that the receipts from the entertainments given on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings of the present week aggregated $2,500. The Eversanr Has Anniver.—The elephant belonging to the menagerie portion of the New York and New Or leans Circus arrived in Virginia City from Reno about nine o'clock this morning. ‘The animal is about half grown, and is very intelligent and do cile. He breakfasted on crushed su gar at the Clipper Gap stables, North C street. The way he went down into the boys’ pockets for peanuts and other goodies was a caution. After resting awhile he took up his line of march for the circus ground, on the Virginia baseball lot, accompanied by a large crowd of children and Piutes. Han nibal, Pompey, Scipio Africanus, or whatever other name he saw fit to be called by, was a good traveler, and while passing along the street picked up his feet as gingerly as a school boy. A Porviar Practor Resort.—The Sacramento Saloon, corner of D and Union streets, has undergone a won derful metamorphosis in the line of painting, papering, etc. Fred Bierke, the popular proprietor, has fitted it up in elegant style, and is now pre ved to receive his friends. His bar is supplied with the very best of wines, liquora and cigars. A free lunch can be found at the Sacramento at all hours of the day. Fred, besides being a very superior mixologist, takes pride in getting up the handsomest and most taviting lunch to be had any where. Give him a call and see how it is yourself. Mrs. Bowens at Carson To-Mout. A crowded house greeted Mrs. Bowers on the occasion of her last appearance in Virginia City. The character of Lady Macbeth gave ample scope for her wonderful elocutionary powers, and was faultlessly personated. To night the famous actress will appear at the Carson Theatre in * Elizabeth,” one of her favorite plays. ‘The Carson people have a rich treat in store for them, and we understand that all of the seats in the theatre have already been engaged. The Navan Capersurr.—About a dozen applicants have signified their intention of competing for the appoint ment to the Naval Academy at An napolis.Ihe examination, which, for the most part, will be a written one, will probably be held during the month of July. Amenities or THE Srace.—At the conclusion of the play of Macbeth, at the Opera House last evening, several members of the cou ny dropped in upon Manager Piper, or the purpose of indulging in a little chit-chat, and to congratulate one another upon the successful termination of the engage ment. As Mrs. Bowers rose to depart, Manager Piper presented her on his own behalf a silver brick handsomely engraved and weighing half a pound Avoirdupois. Miss Ella Wilton, whs also made the recipient of two silver bricks weighing somewhat less than a ton each. A Porcnar AMUSEMENT.—All of the children and Plates in Virginia City are in their glory today, owing to the arrival of the circus company. Circus entertainments, the only sur viving frelic of the Olympic games, always have been a popular form of amusement, and will be proba bly until the end of time. We are in formed that ranchers living in Oregon are so delighted with circus perform ances that every time one comes alon they load their wives, children on household gods into a wagon and travel with the circus for three weeks at a time. Racine aT Association Park.—To morrow (Saturday) all of the fast nays in the country will assemble at Asso ciation race track, situated about two miles north of Virginia City, for a grand racing tournament. ‘Turfmen may count upon having a good time generally. In order to accommodate persons desirous of witnessing the racing, Jake White will run two ‘buses between co City and the racing grounds, one leaving the Palace saloon at 11 a. M., and the other at 1 0 p. M. ‘The fare will be $1 each way.

From Columbus.— H. Sweetapple, long and favorably known in the quartz milling interests of this section, returned from Columbus District, Es meralda county, this morning, where he has a mill, and has been operating for the last year or so. He represents things generally, and the borax busi ness especially, flourishing In that quarter, and consider a Columbus one of the most promising places in the State for mines and general business. Scnoo. Census.—We understand that Professor Janes has nearly com pleted the enrollment of the names of the children belonging in Gold Hill, between the ages of six and 18 years. ‘The number will not dilfer greatly from last year’s census. American Flat District has been consolidated with Gold Hill, and the moneys in the County ‘Treasury, previously appor tioned to that district, have been placed the credit of the Gold Hill School and ARRESTED FOR Vagrancy.—Our po lice court item turns out to be correct in one particular, this afternoon, Officer Putnam arrested an old woman hailing from the vine-clad hills of Italy, upon a charge of vagrancy.As the woman seemed loth to journey in the direction of Justice Wright's Court room, Officer Putnam escorted her thither with all the gallantry of a Chesterfield. Taxort Excursion. — Our readers will bear in mind that the target ex cursion and picnic of the Emmet Guards takes place at the Bowers* Mansion, on Sunday next. ‘The excur sion train will leave Virginia City at 745 Gold Hill at 8 o'clock. ‘The price of tickets for the round trip will be $2.50. All of the arrangements have been perfected for having a most enjoyable excursion. Liveny Tiwes.—This afternoon we noticed a procession of freight teams extending from St. Patrick's Church nearly to the Main street railroad crossing. As we passed along the street our cars were greeted with the Babylonish shrieking of whistles from locomotives and hoisting works, cre ating the impression In the mind of a stranger that bedlam had broke loose. Bev oixe Larrovements. —J. G. Doublebee has nearly completed a handsome and staunch looking build ing on the Divide. We suppose that neither the winds nor the floods will have any effect upon It, for the reason that it is founded upon a rock. A por tion of the building will be used as a saloon, the remainder being occupied as a dwelling house. Net Pixg.—I'wo wagon loads of nut pine, from the foothills beyond Dayton, passed up Main street this af ternoon. ‘I'he arrival of the cargo is a fortunate circumstance, gas Gallagher's wood yard is pretty nearly cleaned out. One of the wood teams was driven by an Indian. Dorxa A Stasmixa Business.—today we noticed that every one of Jake White's buases plying between Gold and Virginia, was loaded down with passengers. We suppose this state of affairs will continue as long as the circus remains in Virginia. No Disturbances or Tak Peace.— Good order and quiet prevail in Gold Hill. The town calaboose is empty, and our worthy Alcalde has adjourned court probably for the purpose of at tending the grand Zoological Exposi tion at Virginia City.
