The Fourth In the valley.-For ninety

The Fourth In the Valley. ninety |
two years America had been free, and with |,
the seal of Night the record Of good and of
evil was forever closed. Up from the Allan
tic rushed the avaunt couriers Of Light; the
Day stood tremulous on the rocky peaks,
enamorcd of the hthcr vcrdurel valleys and
the thunder of ''thc anvil chorus" rendered
in manner that the hundred rcd-shirted
Fircmcn of the Peace Jubilee might have
cnvicd, welcomed in national numbers to
Deer Lodge the Ninety Third anniversary of
American Independence. Our ''anvils cho-
rus" however, was not a selection from II

could not have done better justice TO the &C.
cas;on. The American eagle was spread 50
, much that cock tails were invoked to give
substantially to the bird, and answered the
purpose, to which they were applied,
admirably. During the day, the public
reading Of the Declaration of Independence,
a custom prey alcnt in illiterlte ncighlOr-
hoods, was dispensed with, all the people in
this region fortunately having sufficient
education to pcrusc the good old document
ut leisure, in the shade. The Fourth Of
July, 177G, was great day for the human
race. The Fourth of July, 1860, in Deer
Lodge, was great day for the horse race.
We. as local. cndeayorei to take some notes
on that occasion-but We bet on the wrong
horse and the other man took the notes. The
| day, wthal, passed pleasantly in Deer Lodge
and pyrotechnics closed it in blaze or
! glory and fire. Streets. stores and saloons,
all day long, were filled with people. miners
from camp and farmers from ranch, yet
neither an instance of drunkenness. brawI,
orill-nat,,rc. occurred to disturb the jovialty,
goolfcllowship and sport of the midsummer
holiday. So mote i. be-, again and again.

Raccs.-Thc past week has been one of
the lvlicst for horse racing that has occurred
in Deer Lodge Several hundred men from
surrounding camps came in and remained
to enjoy the sport, and the attendance ut the
tracks was larger than We have ever seen on
the famous Fashion Course on Ten Mile.
Some Of the races were spirited and closely
contested, and money changed hands freely.
