TRKE GREAT RACE.
GOLDSMITH MAID AND ooCIDENT TRoT IN sAo-
 RAMENTO.

1 SACRAMENTO, Oct l6.-The race between Goldsmith Maid and Occident at the agri- cultural park this afternoon, drew crowd of 10, 900 people, among them many of the leading citizens of the state. The race
 was for purse of SIC, ,00O, mile heats, best three in five. The Maid was the favorite
 from the outset, 100 being freely staked on her against 55 an Occident. Both horses were in excellent trim. In the first heat Occident drew the pole, and the horses commenced scoring at half-past two. Nine false starts were made In the scoring Budd Doie driver of the Maid, always came up in front. Eoff holding Occident back. Foff was fined $l5O for refusing to obey the order of the judges. After an other false start the horses finally got off nn the eleventh score, at half-past three o'clock. Occident showed length ahead to the first quarter, time 8 l-4, opened gap of daylight at the half mile, time lO7 IA, hut when approaching the three quarter post the Maid collared the horse And passed him. Coming down the home streach she pulled ahead, Doble laying on the whip and the Maid passed the line three lengths ahead time 2.2O l2. Occident's time 2.2l 1-4. Neither of the horses show ed signs of fatigue.
 On the second heat the betting was about
  in favor of the Maid. Both horses came up fresh and got off at the first score, The Maid had the pole and drew out daylight at the quarter; time 34 1-2. The Maid in. creased the distance to two lengths at the half mile in l .O9 3 8. There was no change in the position to the home streach, when the Maid drew ahead aud again, passed un- der the string twenty yards in advance tune 2.2O IA.
 In the third heat, both got eff at the first score. Occident made spirit and took lead of three lengths to the first quarter in 33 3-4. The Maid gained steadily, and be. fore the half mile was reached, in 1.O9 s-4 the Maid was closing the gap. In the third quarter Occident broke badly, and the Maid passed him ten lengths before Occi- dent regained his feet The Maid then took the heat in 222. beating Occldent nearly three quarters of distance. Budd Doble, driver of the Maid, charged EOff with running into the mare before reaching the first quarter and said Eoff run the whole of his sulky against his shaft, and then over the foot of the Maid. The latters foot is slightly scratched, but was not damaged 10 any extent. She will probably be lame for a couple of weeks. This action of Eoff is generally condemned. After the race Eoff ouarrelled with Jackman. the driver of the Maids mate, and struck him, and was promptly arrested. The quarrel grew out of Eoffs action. The result of the race is a great disappointment to people here, but was not unexpected. Governor Stamford, owner of Occident. stated publicly this morning before the race that his horse was either sick or tempered with last night, but his assertion is not generally believed. The time surprised everyone, especially the sporting fraternity, who bet heavily on ?. 16 and 2.17. Occident runs against Lucy in San Francisco next Wednesday.

AnotAer Sucees&fuI Fa'msr. o the remarkable @ accounts of farming by the Rev. Murray, of Adirondac notori- ety, in another column, we desire to draw slight comparison between ;his efforts and those of our old townsman, MT. Chas. Butcher, of White Plains, N. Y, son of the late John Butcher, who was well known to many of our readers. MT. Chas. B. was for time editor of newspaper, and afterward practiced law for time, but was compelled to abandon all profes. sional duties on account of ill health, and is now market gardening at White Plains, N. Y., and although successful farmer, his success is in accordance with the views of practical farmer, and is such as to be readily understood. We notice in a re- cent number of the Westchester Ne,os, in it's catalogue of premiums awarded at their annual fair in September, that MT. Dutch CTS name appears very frequently, taking over $30 in lst premiums and large mum. Der of 2d premiums, the amount of which is not given. MT. D. has been very suc- cessful in raising sweet potatoes, and few days ago MT. s. s. Robbins, of Lakeville. received from him generous lot of them, one of which we saw and which weighed three pounds, and good down weight at that, and which made two meals for fam. fly of four. This huge potato reminds us of the Irishuan's recommendation of America to his brother in the "ould coun- thrY." "Come to Ameriky Jims; come over quick: Here you can get the petaties for the digging. They are as big as youl l two fists, and fourteen will make man g mail"

The Great Indian Council a Failure.

The Great Indian Council q Failure.
CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-The Times special
correspondent writiug from the Cheyenne
and Aarapaho agency, under date Aug. g.,
gives an account of the proceedings of the
so-called peace council being held thel
with the Kiowas and other hostile Indians.
So far these proceedings appear to be a
failure, the Kiowas being evidently disposed
to make their pretensa of friendship in or
der to secure the release of their chiefs, Sa-
tanta and Big Tree, now confined in the
Texas penitentiary. Lone Wolf, principal
chief of the Kiowas, made q speech in reply
to Col. McIntosh-who had urged upon the
Indians the absolute necessity, if they de-
sired to free their chiefs, of living at peace
with the whites-saying he was ready 10 do
all that was asked of him, but he must
first have the soldiers removed, and until
this was done the Kiowas would make no
change in their way of living. He concluded
as follows: / have listened to what the
Council has told me, and 1 believe the talk
is straight. The peace Captains who have
talked to me can, perhaps, make things sat-
isfactory in Washington. When | was a
boy our country extended from the Rio
G. ande to the Missouri, AMI l want their
limits restored. What more can 1 say? ]
have already told you that al my young
men are ready to travel on the white path,
but want good country that we all can
live in, and now nothing remains to be
