AKLAND, Feb. 15.—Railroad men are awaiting with a good deal of Interest the announcement of the winners of the prizes in the es- competition that the Pacific Coast Rallway Club set in motion a month ago. The time to submit the com- pesitions has expired and it will be at =t a month before the judges pick out ie winners. This is the first time the Pacific Coast Raliway Club, any other railway club, for that mat has offered prizes for distribution among its members. It is proposed to divide 3§25 for the four best o essays directed upon any subject im- riant to railroading, the first to re- W, the second $75, the third $&) and fourth $25. The prizes are to be rded according to the value of the contributlon to railroad sclence, fon being paid to literary style. st may be perfectly will only be known air rs umbers. 5 Railway co ntative of ev v service in the Pa- Club ry e e e | systematizing and reconciling invention with present conditions.

Oscar Lee as the Duke is well heard and Marie Welch appears to advantage in the part of Lady Ella. Hannah Davis and Frances Gibson have the parts of Lady Angela and Lady Saphir, e e s There will be a large and brilliant audi- ence at Fischer's Theater to-night at the first production of Weber and Field's last season’s “record breaker,” “Holty Toity." This is the burlesque that had the longest run of any piece that was ever presented at their music hall. For the production at Fischer's, the cast has been augment- ed, as also the chorus. There are many new features and all the songs and dances are new and up-to-date. Kolb, Dill and Bernard will again be seen in their orig- inal roles that made them so popular when they first appeared here, and Maude | Amber, Olive Evans and the rest of the cast all have new business. George de Long is among the newcomers, who plays the part of Harvard Yale, and there arc ten new chorus beauties. The demand for seats has been the largest since the open- ing of this house. To-night the Alcazar will put on Sol Smith Russell’s charming pastoral play, “Peaceful Valley,” that has not been seen for many years on the local stage. Pret- ty, wholesome and with both strong com- | edy and love interests, “Peaceful Valley”™ will doubtless prove an excelent attraction to Alcazar patrons. Ernest Hastings is cast as Hosea Howe, one of his very good impersonations, and Alice Treat Hunt will have a charming and congenial opportu- nity as Virgle Rand.

NG THEIR COSTUMES | FOR MARDI GRAS The dear men are more eager about the | Mardia Gras ball this season than we ! girls ever thought of being, and it would cure any case of pessimism to see them together, planning their costumes. One jolly chap thinks of going as a cow and another as a monkey, but it would never do to tell their names now. I will say this, however, that they must make up niost elaborately in order to look at all | like the animals they will represent. The fact that the men may mask this year doubles their Interest. I have heard of a stern papa who won't allow his deb- ante daughter to go on this account, | ut 1 trust he will relent, for the guests | arc ail carefully invited and will remove their masks in the presence of the com- | mittee upon entering, so there is little danger of unpleasantness, besides, a gen- tleman Is a gentleman under ail circum- stances. Ty e | Much has been said about the strife of | factions for and against the bachelors’ | ball, but it was a brilliant success and, with very few exceptions, every one is| gind. It Is true that there was one home | dance on the same night, which was | planned, it is whispered. to mar th bachelors’ function, but it did not affect the attendance, as man; me afterward. It was interesting to see many of those who bhad ‘“regretted” coming back into the fold at the last moment. For twenty | years the men have been unable to give a bachelors’ ball in this elty and now that the recent event has proved success- ful the ladies will look forward to a repe- | tition of the function next year. e It is unfortunate that' Mrs. Eleanor | Martin should have been mentioned as | being responsible for the taboolng’ of a certain brand of wine, for which a dapper cotillon leader is the promoter, at the bachelors’ 'ball, but Mrs. Martin had | nothing whatever to do with it. In fact, | rone of the patronesses knew what would | be served at the supper, nor had the| slightest responsibility in tive arrange- | ©One of the subscribers to the ball, who was also one of the committee that had charge of the affair, expressed a de- sire to send the wine order to the cotillon | leader, but was overrruled by the other members of the committee. R e One of our popular officers is bowing very low at the shrine of a very sweet girl just now, and if all goes well I may pessibly have some news for you very soon, but am a little in doubt. The gal- lant youth must be very lucky at cards, for I have it on good authority that he has been turned down by two San Fran- cisco girls with papas. Perhaps the re- sult was due to the overheard conversa- tion, as so frequently happens on the stage, for the man In question is some- times heard to remark, when ladies are being discussed: ‘‘Yes, she Is a nice girl— and she has money, too!” 255 S Mr, and Mrs. C.
