The Sports.

At 2 O'Clock the grand stand was well
filed with exuberant children, about 5000
probably as supremely happy as crowd
of little ones could possibly be. They
cheered and shouted in JOY at the pros
poets of the fun promised them by the
management, and they were not disapoipt-
ed. Every feature of the programme
brought out the most enthusiastic cheers.
The most amusing, for old as we'll as young
was the boys foot race.
PONY RACE.
The sports opened with the pony race
by boys under sixteen years of age who
rode their own ponies. The racs was

whip and the children all shouting their
best, Miller got first and won the heat

unable to indulge their infrmity.

$500 600 WORTH or CHICKENS.

Gov. Eli Murray, of Utah, tells
this story: II never shall forget
the amount of money it cost us to
keep and old woman from crying
herselfto death. OF course we were
obliged to subsist off the country as
we went along, and we naturally
took the best in sight. One day we
took possession of a chicken ranch
kept by an old lady, who stood at
the gate with a broom and threat
ened to lick all of Sherman's forces
if they did not move on. Now,
chickens were considered officers
meat; and as we were Internally
hungry we went for those hens
pretty lively. When she saw that
her favorite fowls were being caught
and killed, she keeled right over
and began to cry. Presently she
began to scream, and finally you
could hear that woman's voice clear
to Atlanta. | sent the surgeons in
to quiet her, but they failed and
then the officers took turns, but the
more she howled. then got pretty
nervous over the internal noise, be-
cause the whole army would hear it,
and they might suppose somebody
was torturing the woman.
Finally Sherman rode up and ask
ed what it was all about. When we
told him, he said: "Give her bush
el of Confederate bonds for her hens,
and see if that won't stop her."
Acting on this hint, / proceeded to
business. We had captured a Con-
federate train the day before, with
$4,000. 900 of Confederate money;
and / hunted up the train at once.
Fhe money was worth about two
cents on the dollar. Well, l stuffed
about $4,000 into an old carpet
sack and marched into the house.
MADAM" said /, opening the
sack, an give you 100000 to quiet
this noise" 1t was still rs death in
a minute, and then her face expand
ed in a broad smile. l laid the
package of notes on the table and

A PETRIFIED FORREST.
Thousands of Trees turned to
Stone i'm one of the WildS
of Mexico.


The visitor to the petrified forest
near Corrizo, on the Little Colorado,
will begin to see the signs of petri-
fication hours before he reaches the
wonder: here and there at almost
every step in the road small pieces
of detached limbs and larger stumps
of trees may be seen almost hidden
in the white sand. The road at a
distance of ten miles from Corrizo
enters an immense basin, the slope
being nearly a semi circle, and this
enclosed by high banks of shale and
white fine clay. At the entrance of
this semi circular basin the eXplor
ing party camped and a fire was
quickly burning. The meal con-
sisted of bacon, beefsteak and coffee,
after partaking of which the party
camped for the night. In the morn
ing it only required half an hours
good driving to reach the heart Of
the immense petrifed forest, and
then such a wonder met our gaze
as no one can ever realize until they
make that very trip for themselves.
The petrified stumps, limbs and,
in fact, whole trees lie about on all
sides, the action of the waters for
hundreds of years has gradually
washed away the high hills round
about, and the trees that once COW
cred the high table lands now lie in
the valley beneath. Immense trunks,
some of which will measure over
five feet in diameter, are broken
and scattered over a surface OF three
hundred acres. Limbs and twigs
cover the sand in every direction
and the visitor is puzzled as to
where he shall begin to gather the
beautiful specimens that lie within
easy reach. There are numerous
blocks or trunks of this petrified
wood that has the appearance for
all the world of having been just
cut down by the woodman's axe,
and the chips are thrown around on
the ground so that one instInctively
picks them up as he would in the
log camps of Michigan and Penn
~ ~ anna
Many of the small particles and
even the whole heart of some trees
have now become thoroughly crys-
talized and the beautif@ colored
cubes sparkle in the sunshine like
so many diamonds. Every color of
the rainbow is duplicated in these
crystals, and those of an amethyst
color would pass the eye of novice
for the real stone. The grain of the
wood is plainly shown in nearly ev-
cry spccimen-making the pieces
more beautiful than ever.
Although the party went armed
with pick and crowbar, they were
entirely unnecessary, for thousands
of broken fragments can be gather
ed a. out you, and the sunlight
striking upon the crystalized parti-
cles point out their hiding place to
the eager searcher after curiOsities.
