The Races.

The 5th being a rainy day no races
were given. On the 9Th the most inter-
esting race was the bicycle race between
VIM. and John hewitt, Carl Kleinsch-
midi and c. H. Cobb. The first heat, to
the surprise of every one, including the
rider, was taken by Kleinschmidt. VIM.
hewitt very easily took the other heats
and won the first prize, John hewitt the
second, and Carl Kleinschmidt the third.
The time was 4:6, 4:S3 and A. Taken
into consideration that Kleinschmldt has
ridden the BICYCLE only two months his
speed was q matter of much comment.
In the $50 trotting race Kansas Girl
won first money and Frank c second.
In the running race Rondeau was the
successful horse.
The pacing race between Cy Mounts
"Bozeman Spider" and Jim Ponsfords
"Bozeman Ghost" was taken by the
Spider, by two very close and holly con-
tested heats.
On July 9TH, "Blue Boy" and "Smoky
were entered In the minute class. The
first heat was taken by Smoky" and the
second by "Blue Boy" The evidence OF
pulling was go plaip to the judges that
they ordered Ed. Fridley to dnve
"Smoky," which he did, taking the third
heat easily.

Neat for Miners.

The secretary of the interior decided
in the case of the Rob Roy mineral lode,
Helena, Montana, that where there are
two applications covering in part the
same ground, and the first application
made has been abandoned, the ground in
controversy comes within the purview of
the second application, and is subject
thereto. Previous to this decision it had
been held by the department that in case
of the abandonment of land in contro-
versy, the abandoned tract sh ould revert
to the public domain. In the case of the
Bobtail Mineral Lode vs. the Caledonia
Lode, Whitewood mining district in
Deadwood, Dakota, the Secretary of the
interior decides that after claimant has
obtained judgment in his favor in court
of competent jurisdiction, he is at liberty
to take the necessary steps, pointed out
by the statue to obtain a patent. He
need not wait until the time for making
an appeal to higher court has expired.
He may proceed, subject to being again
stayed by appeal, but, if an appeal is
taken, the steps which he had taken SUBJ
sequently to judgment, toward obtaining
q patent, are held to be valid if he be
finally successful in the higher court.

Was . Travelling Nan.

A Cincinnati travelling man has a
bright little daughter who doesn't get to
see him very often, as his business
keeps him away from home great deal.
The other day the members Of the fam.
lily and several visitors were watching
her playing with a lot Of kittens. She
was talking to them, and coddling them
in her sweetest kind of way, and this is
what the folks heard her say:
ooh, you cute little kittens. You dear,
sweet little things. Here comes your
mamma, and you will be glad to see her,
wont's you?" Then her voice became
sad-"But where is your papa! l never
see him around, and he doesn't come to
see you, does he? l wonder who your
papa is. Oh, 1 know. 1 guess he must
be travelling man" and the laugh the
company gave the little girl was the first
intimation she had that she was being
overheard.

"The summer girl is not very expen-
sive," says one of our young men. Her
wishes are few and cheap. An occasional
buggy ride, plate of ice creanrof a warm
evening, and an escort to the picnic and
shows, nearly sums up her wants. Being
only summer girl, she does not expect
those presents and that devotion that
belongs to the regular, every-day-in-the-
week and twice-on-Sunday -all-the-year-
round girl. The summer girl is more
like some luscious fruit that comes only
for time and then is gone for the year,
but is peculiarly sweet while it lasts,

The C01F d'Alcne.

Several parties living near salesville
are preparing to depart for the Ceur
d'Alepe mountains. The party will be
made up principally of those who went
in April, and the trip it is believed will
be made in much quicker time and with
out the hardships which attended the
gallant party, who left and returned to
Bozeman two months ago. It would
seem that the Salesville branch Of the
party still have faith in the alleged gold
diggings, and we trust that their faith is
well founded. But if they still confide
in Prichard's word, we fear that the
stampede will be as fruitless as the one
which cost the Bozeman boys 80 much
labor and privation.

Picnic ut willow Creek.

The people of this vicinity witnessed q
grand display of social Qualification no
the Fourth. Everything was serene and
tranquil as possible. Happy hearts were
the common lot of all. Not jarring
strife occurred to ruffle our serenity or
dim the splendor of our social sky. Music
charming and enchanting was excellently
rendered. Commodities of various de-
scriptions were placed upon the table for
mastication, and beautifully palatable
they were. In witnessing such a mag
nificent scene, one is reminded of those
DAYS which the immortal Pope SO elo-
quently depicts when he says:
"Peace DER the world her olive wand ex-
tends,
And white robed innocence nom heaven
descends."
Much praise is due to the generous and
excellent ladies' of this valley for the at
tention and kindness they so readily
exercised. May they live long to COM
memorate their natal days. The rescu-
ing Of the lovely child of liberty FROM the
cruel hand of monarchial usurpation.
The Declaration of Independence was
read by Mr.. Mclaughlin, and the Grafton
delivered by Rev. J. B. Whitford. How
patriotic the people seemed to be? Pa
triotism il not born in the mansions Of
the opulent, but along limpid streams and
sparkling rills, whose music is tender and
touching as the tremulous voice of melo-
dy. Trees and flowers are poems, and
the waving fields are more suggestive
and provocative of thought than blocks
of houses, however magniicently adorn-
ed. May we all see many returns of this
happy day which awaken recollectiona
of the deeds and doings of the happy
past. May We admire and venerate the
names of that starry scroll of immortals
who wrote upon the shining arch of oul
heavens the imperishable words. "All
men are free and equal"

We received pleasant call from Col.
P. w. Norris, ex-Superintendent of the
National Park, and now assistant ethol-
ogist for the United States, in which
capacity he has made some interesting
discoveries in the south, the past winter,
and lately near Mandan on the Missouri.
The Colonel having months vacation,
proposes to spend it in the National
Park, among the scenes so familiar to
him. Perhaps no other man has done
more, by publications and letters, to give
the Park such noteriety, and we dare
say has accomplished as much as any
man could, with the scanty appropria-
tons at his disposal, to make the points
of greatest interest accessible to the tour
ist- He is also the author ola very read
able book, Calumet Of the Coteau," a
collection Of poetical illusions, written
during odd moments while acting as
superintendent, besides a Glossary Of
Indian words and their meaning; also q
map and guide book to the Park, which
from his thorough familiarity with the
geography of the country, is an invalu-
able assistant to those who visit the far
famed wonderlands.
