TS»e Knee» Yesterday. We cannot call the two races rim yesterday brilliant episodes in the annals of the Mon tana turf. No doubt the time iu both has been heat at Saratoga and Long Branch, but it must in justice be said that not a great deal was expected of them, and such being the case expectation was easily realized. The first affair was the three quarter dash for two-year olds, the entries for which were Ewing's b. f. Birdie Lee, Reed's bk. f. Mat tie Lee, Daugherty's b. c. Bishop. The pools sold at large odds in favor of Birdie Lee, with but few investors. After one false start the colts got off very evenly, Birdie taking the lead from the first jump, followed by Mattie and Bishop, in the order named. The latter was out of the race in the first quarter, and the other two had it their own way for the rest of the distance, Birdie passing under the string in 1:27, with Mattie a not very good second and Bishop distanced. The fol lowing is the score : Ewing's b. f. Birdie Lee, 1 ; Reed's hr. f. Mattie Lee, 2 ; Dauga city's b. c. Bishop, dis. The second event was the mile dash for three-year olds, and pretty much the same may be said of it as the first race. There was a little more interest manifested in it, how ever, owing to the entry of Baker's Sun Dance, the three-year old colt who is going to run in the stallion race to-morrow. The other entries were Longfellow, by W. II. Ewing, and Birdie Lee, by H. Carefoot. Sun Dance was the favorite in the pools, but there was little money changed hands, the odds be ing too great. Some time bets were made, and considerable loose change picked up in that way by the knowing ones. The horses got a very fair send off at the first trial, Sun Dance taking the lead and holding it easily all the way round, coming down the home stretch in a hand gallop, with Longfellow second and Birdie Lee distanced. Time 1:58. Score as follows : Baker's c. Sun Dance, 1 ; Ewing's ch. c. Longfellow, 2 ; Carefoots b. f. Biidie Lee, distanced. Serious Accident. Two of the workmen—J. A. Tom and Jeff Sutton—engaged in pointing the Assay office walls, were this morning precipitated from the second story to the ground by the giving way of the platform on which they were standing. Sutton was seriously but it is hoped not fatally injured. Mr. Tom was huit about the head and had his left arm cut and sprained. at in He on the ter Personal. —We are indebted to Captain W. G.

T., held at Fort Shaw' on Saturday evening, 33d inst., 3Iassena Bullard, G. W. C. T., presided, and initiated four new members. This is one of the best work ing lodges in 3Iontana. The influence ex erted and the w'ork performed by it has been of the very highest character. Its effect upon the morale of the men stationed at the Fort had licen very marked, and has obtained for the lodge the warm commendation of Gen. Gibbon and other officers of the post. Upon the return of the soldiers who have been in the Indian country during the summer, the lodge will doubtless receive a large accession to its numbers, and will, probably, before the winter lias passed again, take its place as the banner lodge of the Territory.
