have news OF the races that occurred At
thu, place on the 18th inst. The days
spot. consisted of foot race, sack race,
wheelbarrow race. and horse race, in
which there were seven entries. In the
foot race there were three entries, Pitts.
a painter, winning the race and money
$40. In the sack race there was also
three entries, two heats having to be run,
the first being tie. A Mormon (name
unknown to tame) won tho second heat.
The wheelbarrow race was amusing. on
account Of one Of the contestants getting
of in the wrong direction and running
against reef Of rocks A single dash Of
a half.mile for purse of 500 was TO be
the race and prize for which the seven
horses were to contend. The following
entries were made. Russ. SCOTS "Liz,
ard" and animals owned by Al. Grant,
Ed. Clark. Henry Clark, George Boyd,
together with two Mormon mustangs.
j. b. Van Hagen acted as judge, Clatk's
and SCOTS animals were the favorites in
the pools sold. Boyd's horse got the
start and kept it up until near the end,
when one OF the Mormon mustangs
caught up and passed Boyd's animal in
jitfy, winning the race and the purse,
and causing the pool money to steer clear
from what was thought to be its legiti-
mate destination. The favorites 10 the
pools lacked the necessary qualifications
to be winners in q race. as they came
out long distance in the rear. All
pools were paid the same night at John
Cassidy's saloon. So endeth the first,
but we hope not the last, horse race at
the town of Silver Reef.
SCHOOL HOUSE ENrEREp. Some of the
boys of Phoebe of larger growth, who do
not attend school (having oil the edu.
cation necessary to bring them into
trouble some day. have lately taken II
into their heads to perpetrate series OF
outruges for the purpose of annoying the
teacher OF the Grammar School, N. M.
Miller. On Saturday or Sunday night
the school-house occupied as q Gram
mar School was entered, probably by way
OF the transom, and considerable damage
done. Desks were upset and broken,
books torn up, drinking water poured
into the ink, and like dsviltry practiced.
The proper officers were informed Of
these little transactions, and having
warned the boys that q recurrence OF
these outrages would be visited with
severe punishment, the matter was
dropped for the present.
