The gathering of brave women and fair men at the Leap Year Ball on Tuesday night was a flattering compliment to the young ladies who so manfully worked to make it the success it The gathering of brave women and fair men at the Leap Year Ball on Tuesday night was a flattering compliment to the young ladies who so manfully worked to make it the success it turned out to be. The novelty of the affair and the energy and tact of the management succeeded in filling the hall notwithstanding the inclementy of the weather. The men braved the terrors of the rain, bade defiance to the blasts of wind, and affected an indifference to the slush and arrived at the hall under the protecting aeiris of their stalwart escorts with toilets but little disarranged. The dressing rooms were given up to them, and throughout the whole night the ladies scrupulously asserted the privileges which custom has crowned them with during Leap Year paving the gentlemen those delicate little attentions usually exacted by ladies and with as ready cheerfulness as ever shown by the most gallant gentlemen. We may sav, with a strict adherence to truth, that no ball has ever given such general and genuine pleasure to the participants, and if as it is rumored, the ladies calculate giving a Calico Ball in May next, it is because the gentlemen have graciously acknowledged the superiority of their fair friends in the management of such affairs, and solicited them to assume the direction of the next terpsichorean gathering. The managers were: Miss Ella Mitchell, Miss Nellie Kuchel, Miss Clemmie Schmidt, Miss Etta Bremermann and Miss Libbie Yocum. Following is the order of dances and "Rules for the behavior of gentlemen." After the dances named in the programme had been disposed of, six additional ones were called for and the festivities did not cease until four o'clock Wednesday morning, at which hours a torrent of rain obligingly fell to make the promenade home more interesting and refreshing. Grand March, Spanish waltz; Lancer's quadrille; Polka; Schottische; Waltz; Esmeralda; Polka quadrille; Schottische; Waltz; Polka; Gentlemen's waltz; Medley, etc. Rules: Gentlemen are required to wear their contenances constantly wreathed in smiles; Gentlemen wall flowers are ordered to look pleasant and happy. They are allowed to wink once an hour: Good looking gentlemen will be allowed to hide their faces behind their fans; Gentlemen wishing to speak to each other on urgent business will hold up their hands and ask permission of the floor managers.

No game of baseball was played at Athletic Park Sunday owing to the Santa Ana wind which blew icy blast down from the San Bernardino hills filling the grounds with clouds of dust and sending the fans back to their homes and firesides. Members of the opposing teams were on hand, the Olindas and Hoigees of "Los," but the game had to be called off despite the large crowd that gathered to see the sport. In corporation papers of the Anaheim Gas company, which will operate under the charge recently granted by the city council, have been filed, but an organization has not as yet been effected. L. E.

The prizes cover a wider and more valuable range of products, achievements and resources than any other state in the Union or any other country in the world. In what is mined we go from infusorial earth to gold. We exhibited the greatest variety of fruits of any part of the world, and it is affirmed by a grand prize. Our vegetables have equal recognition. Our scholastic establishments and achievements get the grand honors. One grand prize carries with it a valuable lesson. The most meritorious exhibit may get no consideration because of its defective arrangement for sturdy and observation, while one less worthy may outrank at by reason of skill in its display. Such expositions are the show windows of the states and countries and producers, who resort to them, and unattractive dressing of the window may destroy all good effect. California gets a grand prize for the style of the installation of its exhibit. At Paris the state commission, having no experience in installation made most eneffective use of its material. The State board of trade has made a specialty of installation at Atlanta, Hamburg, Chicago and Buffalo. Even the French, with their exquisite science of the value of display did not succeed in excelling us. Skill and experience, good taste, and a sense of setting and proportion of balance and contrast, were at the service of everything Californian. Our exhibit was sumptuous and the exhibitors have a right to feel proud of it and of the recognition it had from the juries.
