in the Big Horn country. They have
been in the field since March and are
poorly clad for the cold weather and
fierce storms which sweep over the
prairies during this season. The Twen-
ty-second Infantry have been left at
the mouth of Glendine creek and have
commenced the construction of a
stockade. They will remain till No
vember 1st or later. The Seventh
Cavalry have left for Fort Buford and
will move along the north bank of the
Yellowstone. After arriving here they
will go to Fort Lincoln TO winter. The
Sixteenth Infantry will remain here.

this morning and will remain a few
days. and then go to St. Paul via. Bis
mafck. BY the 18th all the troops will
have been withdrawn from the north
ern country except the Fifth and
Twenty-second cavalry, containing 400
men.

Sheridan countermands the order 10
winter a regiment of cavalry on the
Yellowstone, which renders = winter

Visitors at the Centennial.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Is.
At the Centennial grounds yesterday
at l o'clock T. NJ, there were over
5000 paying visitors registered. Ac-
| cording to all previous experience at
least $4,000 should have entered after
that hour, but the registry shows only
. third OF that number. 1t was, how
ever, the best paying day the exhibit
| ton has had, the cash receipts being
over $40, 900 for the main grounds, and
the stock yard shows that the attend
ance has very largely increased with
the month, and it is anticipated next
week will show even a larger return
than this week.
