kicking is INDUCED in by many
here and elsewhere who are disap.
pointed in not being able to be pres.
ent at the wedding of the East with
the West, your correspondent inter.
viewed Mr.. Ed Stone, the gentle.
manly land agent of the Northern
Pacific at this place, upon the sub
ject. Nh. Stone said he was author
lied to invite only $50 persons taken
from points between and including
Livingston and Butte. These added
to Mr.. Wizards party of $50 would
make. 500, about all that could be
conveniently handled by trans
portation facilities at hand. Mr..
Stone, acting in accordance with his
orders, distributed the invitations as
follows: To Bate, Is; Deer Lodge,
10; Livingston, 10; Bozeman, 20;
Townsend, White Sulphur Springs
aud contiguous points, 25; Helena,
60. This is the best Mr.. Stone could
do, and no blame can attach to that
gentleman it many are left whom he
would be happy to invite. There is
probably more "kicking" here than
at any other POINT in the Territory.
Being on the line of the road Helena
expected to be represented at the i'm
posing ceremonies by hundreds in
stead of tens. The remarks made by
the disappointed ones remind one OF
the seductive game where one says
"keno" aud the rest don't. The in
vited guests are the ones who say
keno" this time.
THE RACES.
The day and track were all that
could be desired for the races to-day,
The first event was a three-quarter
mile running race; Pioneer stakes for
2-year Odds. II. R. Baker named
Sunday; w. G. Preuitt named Glen
dalia, and J. Z. Williams named Top |
Sawyer. Sunday was a hot favorit+
at the pool box; Glendale sold Sec
ond, and Top Sawyer for what was
offered. The colts got off we'll to-
gether, but Sunday, the son of Sun
Dance, soon shook his competitors,
and gaining a strong lead came under
the wire an easy winner in l:2Oa;
Glenpalia a poor second, and Top
Sawyer a worse third.
The second race was the great
event of the day, the best flyers in
Montana being in the field. The
