HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK A Very Happy Time at the Masquerade. A Large and Most Enjoyable Turn-out to Dance and Make Merry at the End of the Departing Year — Papa Hetebrink Registers a Kick on the Award of Prizes, but it all Turns out Happily—Frank Littlefield sustains a Dislocation of Both Legs at the Knees—A Couple of Weddings—Orange Growers Will Make a Killing This Season—Mrs. Browning's Card Party—Minor Mention—Local Brevities. There was a sound of revelry by night at Chadbourne's hall on New Year's eve, and probably the largest crowd of fair women and brave men that ever gathered there assembled to do honor to the Fullerton band and help them dance the old year out and the new year in. The hall was filled with spectators early who listened to the rendition of a concert of popular airs by the band. Maskers began to appear shortly after 8, and by 9 the hall was quite filled with a brilliant assemblage that taxed its seating capacity to the utmost. George Washington was there, stately as of yore, and Uncle Sam, deep in thought, as if wrestling with the Venezuelan boundary question. The boot black consumed quite a bit of attention, as did likewise the clown, sea serpent, Indian, and last but not least, the new woman in bloomers, whom one instinctively felt like poking under the ribs ally, until it turned out to be a horrid man. The many pretty costumes of the ladies were also in evidence, and the committee on award found it difficult to determine which was entitled to the prize for the best sustained character. This was later the subject of quite a bit of animated discussion on the part of the committee, for the selection fell to the daughter of one of the judges, who stoutly objected, but the other two overruled him and he had to take a back seat. Dancing began at 9, when Charley Stone and his lovely sister, Miss Nora, attired in a very pretty evening gown, led the grand marsh, and were followed by a glittering throng of maskers that crowded the hall so that dancing was well nigh out of the question. Wandering Willie brought up the end of the marsh, packing his blackets wearily along. The creation was true to life, and Mr. Purdy, who took the character, must have been given a pointer from some wandering tourist while out on the road with his section gang. The bootblack was down on his knees here and there polishing one's shoes for a nickel, and Uncle Sam walked along. Pink cream and black silk. A beautiful costume. Mary Ramella—La Fiesta.

At the meeting of the American League of Honor held last Thursday evening following officers were elected for their suing year: Mrs.Hartung.Commander Crist,Vice Commander;William Crow Orator;Olaf Warling,Guide;Theodore pan,Treasurer;H.Cabine,Collector;W Dancing began at 9 when Charley Stone and his lovely sister, Miss Nora, attired in a very pretty evening gown, led the grand march, and were followed by a glittering throng of maskers that crowded the hall so that dancing was well nigh out of the question. Wandering Willie brought up the end of the march, packing his blackets wearily along. The creation was true to life, and Mr. Pardy, who took the character, must have been given a pointer from some wanderer tourist while out on the road with his section gang. The bootblack was down on his knees here and there polishing one's shoes for a nickel, and Uncle Sam walked along as dignified as could be, and seeming to think that, tarnation take all, if we come to blows with Johnny Bull, we'll go him a round if we lose, dutcherknow. The North American Indian spoke German to the judge, and looked as if he didn't care whether he tomahawkened them or not. George Washington looked as if he were good enough to be the Father of his Country, and the Sea Sarpent looked like Herr Pantzer. The ladies looked charming every one of them, and there were many favorable comments upon the Spanish Dancer, Gypay, Twin Diamonds, Two Maids in Blue, as well as upon the many other elegant costumes with which the hall was filled. The judges selected for the difficult task of selecting the best sustained lady and gentleman character were Papa Hetebrink, A Pierotti and Henry Kuhel, and a barder task was never imposed upon any mortal trio. The committee found that, so far as the gentlemen were concerned, there were a number of cleverly sustained characters, among them the Tramp, Bootblack, G. Washington, Clown, the Indian, Paiano and your Uncle Samuel. When the time for their decision came, they announced that they were quite at a loss as to which one to select, but had decided that insamach as we are all talking about the Monroe doctrine and the possibility of war between Uncle Sam and Johnny Bull, that Uncle Sam was selected as the best sustained character. However this was not the committee's only reason. While the other characters were cleverly enacted, Mr. Halloran was entitled to the prize for all-round excellence. The gentleman is a new comer to Fullerton, taking Station Agent Davis' place at the depot while the latter is off on his holiday vacation. When it came to selecting the best sustained lady character the committee were met by the same obstacle—there were too many pretty costumes, and so many well sustained characters, that the committee were all at sea again as to whom to select. Two of the committee, Mr Pierotti and the writer, had selected the Gypay as being probably the best, and attired as she was in a very fetching costume and being a pretty dancer and carrying out her part in capital manner. Unmasking took place before the announcement of the prizes, and when the Gypay turned out to be Papa Hetebrink's pretty daughter, he interposed a vigorous objection to the selection, although he did not know who the Gypay had been, and had been leaning to the opinion that she was about the sweetest little girl in the ballroom Papa Hetebrink doesn't know what a nice little girl he has. But when unmasking came he stoutly protested against the committee's decision, saying what would the neighbors think if they knew he had picked out his daughter from the number of such beautiful costumes for the prize-winner? But the majority overruled him, and Papa had to take a back seat. Unmasking brought the usual surprises, and jolly reigned supreme. At midnight supper was announced, and a line of march was taken up toward the Fullerton hotel, where tables were found absolutely groaning under their weight of good things. The new year had arrived, and there were hearty handshakes and cordial good wishes on all sides. The old year was attended to the last moment in its fight into Time, and the dawning of the New Year was hailed with manifestations of joy unbounded which discussion on the part of the committee, for the selection fell to the daughter of one of the judges, who stoutly objected, but the other two overruled him and he had to take a back seat.

The new year had arrived, and there were hearty handshakes and cordial good wishes on all sides. The old year was attended to the last moment in its flight into Time, and the dawning of the New Year was hailed with manifestations of joy unbound which proved to be contagious. After supper dancing was resumed and kept up until a late hour. Streaks of gray showed in the East before the last reveler turned his way homeward, and as he turned down toward the barn to get his rig to drive home, he was heard to remark that he wasn't sorry a bit that the band boys had had a crowded house, or that he had been there to take a hand in the fun. Billy Hale and R. Mears were inspectors of maskers, Charley Stone was the efficient floor manager, and all did their duty well, and with the rest of the band boys outdid themselves in seeing that everybody had a good time. The band never played better since the time they went down to Capistrano with the editorial association to be Don Marco Forster's and Alcalde Egan's guests at a tamale breakfast, and are as follows: Walter Crowther (the Sousa of Orange county), leader, solo E flat cornet; O W. Sprague, first cornet; Guy Lovering, second cornet; Jim Gardiner, third cornet; E. E Beazley, barytone; Wesley Alma, tuba; Billy Schumacher, first trombone; Bert Annin, second trombone; Henry Hetebrink, first alto; Connie Annin, second alto; John Hetebrink, base drum; Oliver Schumacher, anare.

Allan Melrose went up to Los Angeles orday to take in the bicycle races. Allan is champion bicycle rider between here the sandwash, and when he gets started like a streak of greased lightning. It's to get started though, hey, Allan? The thermometer has been capricious the week, rising to 80 in the shade at and falling probably 50 degrees just so sun-up. There was considerable ice on Sunday morning, and tender twigs of ice and vegetables were "nipped," but mercury was not low enough to affect ranges. The crop is looking superbly bentz and Bailey have erected a new house, and will turn out a finer gradeoked goods than ever. They are so ing quite an enviable reputation for the sense of their sausages, head cheese and delicioses, and now they have a smoke house will turn out finer brandside than ever. The Rose Stillman company after play-nights at the Opera house to fair au-lays left on Monday for the quiet town of where they show two nights, and go to Santa Ana for a season.

When we opened the mail yesterday, however, we were agreeably surprised to find another and brand new calendar from the same house, a trifle handsomer if possible than the old, and it has taken its place on the wall. Many thanks to our St-Louis friend for the same, and a Happy New Year to him! The contract for packing the local association's orange crop the coming season was awarded by the Board of Directors at their meeting on Thursday to Mr. Paramore of Orange, who superintended the packing last season, at 30 cents per box. He has now a force engaged at the packing-house at the Santa Fe depot preparing the crop for shipment. Miss Clarissa Snodgrass, daughter of our well-known fellow-citizen B. J. Snodgrass, died at her home in West Anaheim on her twentieth birthday, Christmas day, after a lingering illness of consumption. Her mother succumbed to the fatal malady a year or so ago, and the germs of the disease were so implanted in the daughter, whose patient ministrations at her mother's bedside were continuous and unremitted, that for some time past recovery had been despaired of. She lingered until her twentieth birth day, suffering her ills with true Christian fortitude, when death came to release her from her pains. May we not think that, following her mother so soon into the mysteries of the great beyond, she has met with the loved ones on the golden shore? The funeral occurred on Friday, the remains being followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. The stricken father has the warm condolence of a wide circle of friends. That our orange growers will undoubtedly make a "killing" with their season's crop is illustrated in nothing so forcibly as the experience of our friend MoFadden and his consignment of some thirty-six boxes of unripe seedlings shipped to San Francisco a week or two ago. The oranges were absolutely the worst Mac ever raised, and such was his revulsion at the idea of shipping them to market, that he threw several boxes of them away. It is doubtful if he had shipped any of them but for the fact that he had been assured by a traveling buyer sourcing the country for fruit that they were just the thing wanted by dealers for their holiday trade. Mac thereupon shipped them, and the other day received a check notting him over a dollar a box, and he was extremely sorry indeed that he threw so many of the oranges away. Under the old consignment regime he shipped many a carload of fancy navels which netted him less than this, as did many another grower, and now that they are "shut" of these practices, they ought to do pretty well with their crops. R. Callahan, an experienced caterer from Michigan, and latterly from Los Angeles, has purchased the Club resort, and will on Saturday evening make his formal bow to the citizens of this city and surrounding country with a grand free turkey lunch, to PERSONAL MENTION.

Hall arrived from Michigan last week after an absence of a year, and is now on his place west of town. He contemplates returning East in April. Dominick Lieb has been confined to his residence for some weeks past with an acute attack of rheumatism, but we are glad to note that he is able to be out again. Mike Keagan intends leaving for the northern part of the State. Mike is a good square fellow, and we are sorry to see him go, and he is coming to be quite a lady killer besides. Mrs. Arthur L. Lewis is visiting with her mother in Los Angeles, and her sister, Adela Mossman, is spending her Normal vacation with relatives in town. When a striotly one price store like the Red Front reduces its prices of goods it is like Siding money in the street. Go and see their immense reductions on all their goods. Ben Rimpau left on Sunday for Los Angeles to take a position in the Boston dry goods store. He takes with him the best wishes of many friends for his success. Mr. Jake Berlin was in from Yorba on Tuesday to make his last trip into town for the old year. He reports some wind up the canyon Saturday and Sunday, but no damage. Billy Beckett was over from the county seat one day last week with a new suit of clothes on. Billy always has a new suit of clothes on when he comes over to see us. He is the dude of the gang, isn't you, Billy? Mr. Banoroft reports that he discovered more ice at his ranch on Orangethorpe avenue on Monday morning than he ever saw before in California. However no damage was done to the fruit crop. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H.

The stated price is $3 per ton, but a guaranteed reduction in the freight from 75 to 50 cents per ton, and other items in loading. The figures are a minimum rate, and probably a large will be set to beats. The ornamental iron work on the new block has been placed in position greatly to the appearance of the city. The name "Metropolitan block," figures "1895" in raised letters are of the front, the letters to be in the background in black. Already the stores are said to have been rented it will probably not be long until it is rented also, as the building is the finest in the city.

Frank Littlefield sustained very serious injuries at Alamo, Lower California, a place some ninety miles south of Eisenada, about ten days ago, as a result of which he suffered the dislocation of both legs at the knee. He writes to George Heffner, under date of Dec. 23, saying that he had arrived in Alamo and had worked twelve days when as he was driving with a load of hay his mules became frightened and ran away, throwing him under the wagon wheels. The wagon weighed three tons and had a jon of hay aboard, and the wheels passed over both legs at the knees. Frank pulled himself together and crawled 200 yards to his wagon, which had come to a standstill, and drove the mules four miles, when the leaders' anugnished and he could not fix them. He throw his blackets down on the ground and managed to get down and lay seven hours before any one came near. Then a Mexican passed by, and wanted ten dollars to go to town and tell the foreman of the mill of the accident. He was promised the money and went on the errand. Frank lay out until 9 o'clock, when relief came, and he was taken to Alamo, arriving at 12 o'clock. A doctor was telephoned for at Eisenada, although the injuries are painful. Frank will probably be able to be up and about in a month or six weeks.
