PoLo.-The game of polo played
at Chaplin & Vale's Rink this city
last Friday night between the Sioux
City and Elk Point clubs was a
most interesting one and drew out
a large crowd of people to witness it.
The game was three goals out of five
and resulted in favor of the Sioux
City club by three to two. 1t was
a very holly contested game and
our boys may we'll feel proud Of
the record they made in holding the
champion club of the northwest
such a close race. Our home club,
in fact played the stronger game
and were only defeated by a scratch.
One goal made by the Sioux City
club should have been called a foul
and another one was an accident OF
scratch, while the two goals secured
by our club were made by strong
playing. The Sioux City boys &C.
knowedgcd that 1t was the hardest
! game they ever played.

AFTER all the labor bestowed In preparing
the stock contagious disease bill and secur-
ing veterinary surgeon for the Territory, it
came near being q dead letter In the latter
re'pect for two years more anyhow. The
act passed requires said surgeon shall be a
graduate Of veterinary college, and that he
shall be nominated by the Governor and
confirmed by the Council. The bill did not
become a law until two days before the ad-
journment. There is no eligible veterinary
surgeon IN Montana-at least none the stock
men desired, and there was not time to ar
range with one elsewhere. If the vacancy
in the Office existed at the close of the ses>
sion, the Governor could not appoint in the
interim. To cover the difficulty, a brief
amendatory act was put through the last day
stipulating that the first appointee need not
be graduate Of veterinary college, the
stockmen agreeing that the appointment
would be temporary. Mr.. Thomas Stuart,
OF Deer Lodge, who, for q nom professional,
is perhaps the most competant man in Mon
tana for the position, was thereupon nomi.
mated and confirmed, and will hold the fort
for the present.
