A PLEASANT REUNION.—Through the politeness of Mr. Hecker, our gentlemanly R. R. agent, a special train was yesterday placed at the disposal of a few friends, who were duly informed that an excursion was on the tapis, and at an early hour some twenty couple of the 'fairest of the fair' of the Magic City, snugly ensconced in two comfortable cars, were en route to Dale Creek, under the careful guidance of Messrs. Hecker, Congdon and Flynn. The day was pleasantly spent in hunting, fishing, viewing the scenery and, need your reporter add—courtship. Returning the party reached Cheyenne late in the day, after enjoying a ride over the mountains which was much enlivened by several beautiful songs from the ladies. Among the most prominent in their efforts to please their bachelor friends, were Mrs. H—r, Mrs. H—s, Mrs. W—s, Mrs. E—s, D— W— S—l. Misses L. and P., and many others. Several young gentlemen graced the party with their presence, and upon the whole it was generally voted the most pleasant affair of the season. The efforts of Mr. Hecker to encourage social intercourse among our citizens are worthy of emulation.
