 by giving u purac to be trotted tor sit lh« 

 Ilippodromi*, wit? thoroughly appreciated 

 by a large audience present at the Hippro- 

 drome Thitfsday evening: The purse was 

 mil' of 5175, for horses tlmt had never beaten 

 three iniiiul.es, mile aud repeat, under saddle. 

 The bay gelrlti'.tjs Sherman, Hippodrome, 

 J.oiiLrfellow, John H., the buy mare Lady 

 Trimble, and Hie chestnut gelding Bayside 

 i i i-l. Bnvidde won the first beat iaSiOi, 

 mid the touiili »ud rare in 8:49$. Dan Mace 

 won the second heat, with Hipprodrome, 

 in 3:00, mid John Murphy the third heat, 

 wilb Sherman, in 3;ff6, Qati State's liead- 

 Ucfy, Kliapp, rode Hipprodrome in the first, 

 third and fourth heats. JiolU Mace and 

 Murphy elicited loud applause by their 

 superb riding, and there is but little doubt 

 that one of ihem would have won had their 

 horses been as steady as Bayside, who was 

 not alarmed a particle by ihe applause, 

 while all the others, including John H., who 

 was lithk-n by Campbell, could scarcely be 

 kept, at a trol. 



—Two trotting- matcb.es came off at Oak- 

 land,, California, on the 29th instant. The 

 first, half milehials, best three in five, was 

 won by Ned, and the second by Selkirk. 

 Beat time in both races, 50^ aud 49 seconds

 distant West one of nmiHiinl inleisl and ex- 

 citement. Tie stateB that a part of their 

 route east of the Rocky Mounlains the huf 

 falos were so numerous that the men could 

 shoot them without leaving their wagons. 

 At Sweet Grass Mountain these animals pre- 

 dominated to sucli an a'arminrr extent that. 

 the nun wire under the necessity of forming 

 a -circle With their wagons, andplaciug their 

 horses on the inside, to protect them from 

 these occasionally enraged animals. The 

 company had two" horses' gored by them, and 

 one of their astronomical party came near 

 losing his life on one occasion". As far as 

 the eye can discern along certain parts of 

 their 'route, the prairie could be seen dotted 

 with the dead bodies of buffalos which the 

 men had shot for the sake of their tongues, 

 which it appears are considered a great deli- 

 cacy by these, prairie adventurers. In speak- 

 ing of White Mud River, he says Ihe com- 

 piniy were under the neeessily of traveling 

 some ninety miles north along its hanks 

 be.fote they could rind a crossing place, in 

 consequence of the quicksand in the bottom. 

 At oue place at which they halted along its 

 hank, one of their teamsters narrowly es- 

 caped a subaqueous interment,. The water 

 looking nice, lie thought he would indulge 

 in a bath, but on entering he soon found the 

 quicksand up to his knees. lie attempted 

 to extricate himself, hut the harder he tried 

 the more quickly he descended. No sooner 

 did his comrades become aware of the dan- 

 gerous nature of his predicament I ban they 

 made all hasto to the scene, and throwing 

 him the end of a rope, he passed it round 

 his waist and was dragged ashore. He is 

 not going to try bathing in that river again. 

 In the' mountain streams is an endless va- 

 riety of fish, among which is a kind of 

 speckled trout, very much resembling our 

 Canadian trout, but about twice as large, 

 with black spots on the sides instead of red, 

 and possessing an exquisite flavor. Wild 

 sheep and mountain goats are numerous. 

 The sheep have immense horns, by which 

 they are enabled to cling and drop from crag 

 to crag along the mountain sides. In hunt 

 ing these animals the hunters are generally 

 obliged to ascend into lofty and precipitous 

 heights. Amongst other animals in this re- 

 gion is a kind of mountain lion, said to be 

 very fierce. North of the Bear Paw Moun- 

 tain, they came upon the dead bodies of 

 twonty-eight of the Blackfeet Indians, who, 

 it appears, had been on a horse stealing ex- 

 pedition, but were overtaken, killed, and 

 scalped by another hostile tribe. This they 

 think occurred early last Spring. — Quelph

— This story is told us bj r a gentleman who 

 says its truth is vouched for by witnesses of 

 undoubted veracity: — Some years ago, while 

 Mr. Hamilton was fishing near the lower 

 rapids of the Mississippi, just above the Keo- 

 kuk, he observed below him a man bailing 

 a canoe, preparatory totaking himself, wife 

 and baby across the river. At the same 

 time Mr. H. saw that his Newfoundland 

 dog was watching the proceeding of the 

 party. Seeming to comprehend their inten- 

 tion," the dog uttered a peculiar howl, and 

 passing rapidly up the river for some dis- 

 tance, plunged into the water aud swam di- 

 agonally down and lauded on a large roek 

 standing out of the water about, midway the 

 stream." After shaking the water from his 

 shaggy coat, he again watched the party, 

 who, in the meantime, had embarked in the 

 canoe. Just as Ihe little boat passed the 

 rock, it was caught in the rapidly descending 

 current, and instantly capsized. The woman, 

 in fulling into the water, loosed her hold on 

 the child, which floated down the stream. 

 The man caught his wife and waded with her 

 to the rock. The instant the child fell into 

 the water, the dog leaped in, and in a short 

 time was sceu in the still water below swim- 

 ming with the child iu his mouth, which he 

 carried in safety to the shore— Fin it/din

— A poor young tutiu remarks that the 

 only advice he gets from capitalists "is to 

 live within his income," whereas the diffi- 

 culty he experiences is to live without an 

 income.

EDITOU FOUE3T AND STREAK: — 



The twelve "Hurst's Views" received this morning 

 and I must say that they surpass anything in the stereo- 

 cope line I ever saw. It in better than going to a 

 menagerie or museum, aa hero yon see the birds in 

 their natural state. It brings the true sportsman im- 

 mediately amid scenes wherein be loves to dwell, and 

 during the olose season lie can be constantly reminded 

 of the many happy days he may have passed in the 

 field. C. A. a.
