The announcement a few days ago that he had resigned the Grand Mas- tership of the Freemasons, and that the Prince of Wales would temporarily succeed him, caused Much excitement, which is heightened by the in- formation that tie Marquis has embraced Catholi- cism, Sketch of the Marquis of Ripon. ‘The Bight Honorable Sir George Frederick Sam- uel Robiason, K.

By your communica- tion of the 27th of last monta we saw that in pub- lishing among the ciergy of your diocese, by the pastoral we sent to you, our encycitcal letter Fecently issued, you thought necessary to remind them of the apostolic conaitions by which the gso- by known as Freemasons are condemned by the Holy See and the severe censure incurred by those persous who beiong to it.

Td FRIENDLY ABORIGINES. —_—_——— Sketch of the Business and Pleasures of an Indian Agency. CHARITY AT THE EXPENSE OF JUSTICE. A Dance and a Council on the Prairie. RED CLOUD AGENCY, Neb., August 2%, 1874, Seven days’ residence at an Indian agency flnds me still in @ blissful state of ignorance as to the actual condition of affairs, but inwardly impressed that things are not as they should be, I nave haa several talks with the Indians themseives, seen the issue Of beef and rations, examined their so- called farms, looked on at their dances, watched them trade and feel satisfied that a great deal is yet to be done in the way of improvement. Before 1 arrived at the agency I was told innumerable stories of the cheats that were practised on the indians by their agents, and { hoped to be abie to expose these delinguencies in such a@ light that Immediate action would be taken 1 can now understand how little’ has resulted from the investiga- tious of commissioners who have. been sent from Washington tO exXamiue into the frauds at the different agencies, as it would be nearly an impossibility for them tO detect the robberies that may have been committed under the existing sys- tem of carrying out the business of the agency. By way of illustration I will give A HISTORY OF VACTS in this agency as I found them. At the last isaue day the agent, Dr. Saville, informed me that he was feeding about ten thousand Indians, and that he was only allowed rations for six thousand; aud, also, that before winter set in he expected some fifteen or six- teen thousand Indians around the agency, but of this lot there are probably about three thousand Arapahoes and Cheyennes and a couple of thousand from the Northern tribes, such as the Uncpapas, Sansarcs and Minnecoujas. These fve or six thousand are not provided for in the appropriation for the Ogallala Sioux that are supposed to reside at this agency, but yet Agent Saville says he can- not let them starve, and when they come inf issues them rations the same as to the Ogallatas, This may be all very charitable and very philanthropic, but Btill it is not justice to Red Cloud’s band, who have remained quict in the agency during the summer, to starve them in order to feed a band of hostile Indians that have been marauding through the country since early spring, and who, thinking that punishment for their crimes may be awaiting them at their own agencies, come down here to beg. The only Indians that have been implicated inany of the murders around this section o the country are said to be the Minnecoujas, ana yet when they come im to the agency they are treated a8 well as the Ogallalas, who have kept faith with the government and acted up to the letter of their treaty. Tne practical re- sults of this policy I found on my arrival at ths agency. In my interview with Red Cloud he stated that they had received no sugar or bacon for four months, and the cattle issued to them were very small, and that consequently they were not satisffed with the agent. of feeding Indians for whom the government had Made no provision at the expense. of those to whom the appropriations were assigned. At present the Indians here are pretty hungry, and numbers come to the military camp every day on a begging expedition. 1 next found a very LOOSE MANNER OF REGISTERING INDIANS, that probabiy accounts for the large num- ber present on the agency, a8 shown by the returns of the agent. For ex- ample, an Indian presents himself at the office of the agent to be registered, and receives his order for beef and other rations. He gives his name, Dumber of squaws and number of children, and generally adds one or two mothers-in-law and their children, numbering in all from fifteen to thirty. He probably wishes to draw his beet with some other Indian, and Cattle are generally issued in batches to six or seven families. Now there is no check to prevent some Other member of that lamily coming up, registering the same number and drawing rations for them. This probavly ac- counts for the large numoer of Indians reported on the agency, and enables the agent to issue his rations in @ comparatively loose man- ner, as he knows that he is draw- ing for more than he actually has, At the last issue of beef there was a scarcity of the article, and the sub-agent did not give them their full rations, They are supposed be allowed three pounds per head, gross, which is equivalent to a pound and a hall dressed. One party of 160 asked how many cattle they would get, and the sub- agent toid them four. Their actual allowance would be 4,800 pounas, so I asked the sun-agent what the cattle averaged, and being answered from 1,000 to 1,200 pounus, thought Mr. Indian was n tne issue day | saw the cattle run off by the Indians and shot down and butch- ered on the prairte, and cannot help thinking that I would rather sell from the agency scales than buy, as, in my estimation, the cattie issued averaged at the outside 800 pounds, At that weight a party of 160 Indians would be entitled to six cattle instead of the four they received. ‘The only other rations wnat have been issued since I have been here were soap and tooacco, very necessary articles, but not quite what is re- quired by @ hungry indiap. In answer to the demands made by Ked Cloud and other chiefs for flour, sugar, bacon and coffee, the agent said the appropriation had run out, but he expected more to arrive soon, and | understand that four and coffee are now on the road. There is, never- theless, something very wrong in this whole mat- ter, and the Indian Department should be forcea to have the necessary supplies in the agencies in order that the government may keep faith with the Indians, Even inthe tssne of soap and tobacco there did not appear to be any system, as they were issued with @ lavish hand and without any regard to a pound or two one way or the other. Agent Saville complains that he is only allowed $6,000 per annum ior salaries of employés, inde- Fecene of that paid tohim and the interpreter. le claims that he requires seventeen hands to run the agency, and has been compelled to cut his help down so much tnat he is cramped in transacting their reguiar business. If so that is all wrong, but to a practical man it would be difficult to find work for seventeen men. A FOX DANCE. Last Monday I went to a fox dance, that was ‘ot up for the benefit of Mr. Valentine Bromley, an snglish artist who is sketching in this part of the world, There were about thirty or forty Indians on foot, attired in fantastic costumes, and under the command of Sitting Bull or Three Knives and Bad Hand, who were both mountea. They presented quite @ weird picture as they danced up to the agency, yelling and firing of their guns. The Musicians occupied a position in the centre of the circle, beating time on the tom-tom and. singing a m choly Kind of dirge. The mounted chiefs, arrayed in gorgeous costumes decorated with Pawnee scaips, and wearing a head- dress of buffalo horns set of with eagle's feathers, pranced around the circle encouraging the dancers. The horse ridden by Three Knives had white spots of paint all over his hind qua: which, I was told, represented the different his horses had been shot when in battle. If 1 had been Turee Knives I should have painted the chest and fore quarters of my steed in preierence to the rear. Several hands were painted on the animal ridden by Red Hand, which denoted the number of times when that chief had been near enough to the Cathet | for them ‘to lay hand upon his horse. That renowned chief had also a white woman’s scalp adorning his bridle rein. They danced inside the Cg aD then in front of each of the two trading stores, and, when they had received all the presents they coula get, returned to their lodges. Tney were reckless in the way they fred off their guns and pistols, as they sent a ball through the window of One of the trading stores, rather adjacent to the head of a gentleman Who was looking out. Saturday alternoon Agent Saville had a talk with Little Wonnd, Red Dog, Yellow Hair, Grass and @ few others of the Ogallala chiefs. They were very anxious to know when some more ratio! were gol to arrive, and sppeared con- Macrabfy ng oilined when they Picard they ‘ould be here in about @ week. Little spoke very strongly against the Tight of the soldiers to cut wood on their reserva- tion without pi tor it, and nardly appreciated the explanation of the agent, who told him that the soldiers were there to protect them andthe agency irom the attacks of any of the Northern Indians, Red Dog said he felt very bad about the VISIT OF CUSTBR TO THE BLACK HILLS, which he claimed nad toe to the Ogallalas for years and had been given to them again in the treaty, The three prinoipal farmers of the Sioux ion, farmer Gri farmer Yellow Hair and tarmer Red Dog, heir hearts made by who told he had purchased twenty id ploughs for them. Ra were all a drive their ponies in the wagons, and appeared a little Gigapromites when told that the wagons ‘would probably be too bh Me It would be Weil li the Indian Department were to take into consideratign the advisability of tagu- It | HRCA RHeabeadty | and those in tue relation to the transaction of business | with the War Department and its bureaus will continue ing Dard bread to the Indians instead of nour. They prefer hard bread (to {resi bread, and now when they receive their rations of flour they offer itin exchange tor hard bread, giving it at the ratio often tor one. They are quite satisiied if they receive seventy or eighty hard bread, weigh- ing abour seven or eight pounds for a 106 pound bag of four, This wouid also allow for a subetitu- tion of something else for bacon, as the only use made by the inaiane of that article 1s to extract the grease to mix with their four. Agent Saville held a council to-day with the Cheyennes and Arapahoes, ana read them a jetter from the department, saying that their goods had ali = to the lower agency, on the Arkansas, where the reat of their tribes were located. He added that he would jurnish them fvod and guides to take them there, aud wished to hear what they had to say about it. They said they would answer in two or three days. An Arapanoe chief pence’ then gave an account o! their fight with aptain Bates, which has been already reported. He said there were encamped on the bank o1a creek 137 lodgea of Arapahoes, 81x of Cheyennes and one Sioux, and were jumped by the troops and Snake andians at daylight in the morning. ‘They lost ven men, seven squaws and three children killed, seven men, ten squaws and five children wounded, and 230 ponies, They kiiled two soldiers and one Snake, and captured six ponies, thirteen muskets, eleven guns, two pistols, a demijohn of whiskey and a medicine chest. Two ol their wounded were present at the interview. A large band of cattie arrived to-day, and the qgent says the back beef Will be issued in a day or two.

He says:— “Five days were spent in making a reconnoisance of @ portion of the Bay of Glory of Russia, Tanaga Island, which seemed to be the best adapted for the shelter of shippiag and for the landing of the Proposed supmarine cable.

Lovok- ing at the long ranges of tences on the way to Prospect Park, in the Vicinity of Fiatoasn avenue, he notices the various tghiy colored theatrival stowbills and remarks :— “1 see that they are making regular picures out of these posters. Why. I've often thought that [ would like to take One of them home and frame it, they are so pretty.” Alter awnile he gets another idea and makes another remark :— “I see that the HERALD ts stirring up the Central Park Commissioners about the croquet playing.

There {8 a curious set of men wno drive through Prospect Park and affect the “spor” or “blood.” Here is ope young boy behind a fast piece of horseflesh, who has @ very fancy felt hat, punched in at vhe top and having a purple feather stuck in the band. He has pale kid gloves, a tancy scarf with a horse’s bead placed in the centre. His mustache is beautiil to behold, ana the sragrance of the hair oll under bis felt hat leaves a wake benind him. ‘Tue writer asks the question of the hackman, “Who 18 that loud-looking gentleman behind that bay mare ?” He answers siowly and in a sarcastic tone, “That's one Ol the first iamilies of Brooklyn, that is, He tells every one that his name is Charles Augustus Prentice Low Luqueer McNulty Remsen, and he has half a dozen other names in ! the reserve.” The ride through Prospect Park on this noble September day is one that indecd might be en- vied. The horses dash along under the sheltering trees in seciuded and iar-away roads; and now as we sweep along there 1s a glimpse of an armof a lake, a giance ata Uny watertfail, a vista of rare flower beds and a@ patch of exotics; then, again, we catch a fleeting view of a rural bower or quaint arbor, und here 18 an open bay, @ segment of the lake, half land-locked, and on its quicksilver surface are dozens of lads in rowboats paddling ta the water and tow- ing miniatare yachts along with mainsail, jib and topgailant, in their endeavors to catch a breeze. To the leit is @ large grassy field, smooth as the »| palm of a lady’s Land, and near its margin are hundreds of jads running hither and thither engaged in the maddening game of base ball. Vhey are so far of that they look like black insects, and not even a faint sound of their voices can _ be _ heard, How peacelul everything seems, animate and inani- | mate! And even the leaves on the trees are siumbering, and their taint music is lige the song of the wild spirits that are said to haunt the graves of the lost Indian tribes on a Western prairie. In this atmosphere, which is moist and goit, the people whom We pass on by- roads glide silently by, and their footfalls are with- out echo or even reverberation. Occasionally one of the “b’hoys’ thunders by behind a framework of @ horse, which he Jashes madly as he sits, or rather perches, at an angle of iorty-flve degrees in @ venicle which is @ Compound Of a fish wagon, @ street sprinkler and an old time sulky. ‘One of the oid sports, who must and shali be respected,” suggest# Our driver, and now we are at the gates ot the Prospect Park racing grounds, having bowled along the smooth and wide Boulevard at a spanking rate.

It is three o'clock before the races are started, and all this while the spectators, Who are not in great num- bers, are compelled to listen to the maddening and monotonous tones of Jonnson, the poo! selier, who, it is said, Was originally intended as an ex- horter tor the Methodist Church. His vocation certainiy been missed, and had he been lost to the pool-selling fraternity there would be less pro- fanity in its vicinity. THE RACING. The track was in very fair condition, the time made very good, and could have been better had occasion required the winners to nave exerted themselves a little more. The weather was also very suitable for the sport, and all who witnessed ‘the races seemed satisfied with the afternoon's en- tertainment. Three events were on the card, the first being @ dash of three-quarters ofa mile by two-year-olds, the secogd mue heats and the third a dash of two miles for three-year-olds. In the first race, which wasa sweepstakes, there ‘were 81X DOminations, but when called to the post only two put in an appearance. These were Joseph Donahue’s bay filly Nannie McD., by Leam- ington, dam Zaidee, and L. A. Hitchcock's chest. nut filly I Know, by Second Danic! Boone, dam Isadora Hill, eacn carrying 97 ibs. 1 Know was the favorite in the poois, selling in one for $100 to’ the others’ $60, then $150 to $79 and $170 to $83, and soon, The favorite, however, was beaten after a very close struggle for five furlongs, but afer that Nannie McD, was mistress of the situation, The winner, if not abused, will be likely to make a very useful race nag. ‘The second event was for a purse of $500, for all ages, entrance money to second and third horses, mile heats, There were four entries, comprising 'T. B. & W. R. Davis’ chestnut horse Fadladcen, by War Dance, dam Nora Creina, aged; J. W. Weldon & Co.'s bay Colt Audubon, by Australian, dam Heir- ess, 3 years old; J. Donanne’s bay colt Cariboo, by Lexington, dam Ance Jones, aud W. H, sanford’s bay horse Mate, by Australian, dam Mattie Gross, 5 years old. the tormer was withdrawn. Ma‘ was a great favorice over the fleld, selling in th pools tor $250, all the others together bringing $51, And again at $200 while the feid fetched but $41, and another pool was $230 to $47. Mate won tne race quite easily ina short rubber, making excel- lent time, the first heat being rua in 1:45 and the second in 1:43} ‘The third race was @ dash of two miles for a purse Of $500 for three-year-olds, entrance money to second horse. For this there were four start- ers, These were M. H, Sanford’s chestnut fil Lava, by Australian, dam Lavender; J. Donahue’s sthut colt Botany Bay, by Aust , dam Bonner; George Ayres’ chestnut colt Krastus Corning, by Lightning, dam Nora Oreina, and L, A. Hitchcock's brown filly Lutitia favorite juat before the stark selina a wag the for $135, Botany Bay $130, and “be other two as 8 fieid for $36, ta another Botany Bay $80, and the won by Lava, who tr: and three-quarters, eld $19, The race was led Botany By for a mile M took sides with him ior ginrions, Qod alterwards came away beas him ea ‘The race was run just to suit the filly, 46 it Was well known that she had more speed than the colt, and his leaving tne race ior a brush at the Gnish was all the filly required to win. The only way to have beaten her would have been to have made the pi robg ‘from end to end,’ and we have our doubts whether it could nave been done even in that way, Lava is quite a good racer at weight and dista) ‘rhe backers | of Botany Bay loat baavily, as tae Coil was tue favorite the night before the race and early yes- terday morning. The toliowing are the details of the running as it came of:— THE FIRST RACE. The youngsters were started from the three- quarter pole to capital send of, and they ran alone together ior half @ mile, Nannie McD. lead- img a neck all the way. Nannie McD. came to the front and won the race easily by four lengths in 1:19. The winner is a very fair proportioned filiy, fifteen hands and a hail high, and sne ran in this race in such @ way &5 gave indications that, barring accidents, she will be a very profitable animal to her owner. é THE SHCOND RACE. First Heat.—Aududon got away with a flying tart and was soon three lengths in front of Mate, who led Cariboo a length. Going around the turn Mate closed up the daylight between himself and Audubon, and at the quarter pole was on even verms with hum and two lengths in front of Vari- boo. He then showed his head tn front of Audu- bon and the pair ran along the backstretch, with Mate leading a neck. They passed the hatt-mile pole in this Way, and stuck close together trom there to the three-quarter pole. At that point Hayward took Mate 10 hand. and he ran head and head with Audnvon until twenty vards irom the stand, when he cut loose and won by a short length, Cariboo was ten leugths away. Time of the heat, 1:45.34. Second Heat.—Audubon again had a running | start, Mate second, Cariboo close up. Going around the tarn Audubon led a iength, Mate sec- ond, two lengths ahead of Cariboo, Taney were in that position when they passed the quarter pole. Running along the backstretch Mate went up, and | | a8 he passed the hall-mite pole he had his head in | front, Cariboo two lengths behind. The latter then made a dash for second money, and racing finely down the lower stretch he passed Audubon avd entered the homestretch a@ length behind Mate, Cariboo kept in frout o1 Audubon and won tne second prize. Mate won the heat by eigut lengths, Carivoo about the same distance ahead of Audubon, Time ol the heat, 1:453¢. THE THIRD RACE, | Botany Bay had the vest of the send off, Erastus | Corning second, Lutitia H., third, Lava fourth, At the quarter pole krastus Corning was a length in iront of Botany Bay, who was a length in ad. | vance of Lava, the latter half a length ahead of | Lutitia, Tne pace was very moderate at this time. Running up the backstrevch Botany Bay moved up and took sides with Corning, and they passed the half-mile pole yoked together, one oo! Liwya brought $115, | When they reached tue | homestretch ooth jockeys began Whipping and | length in front of Lava, who Was a length ahead of Lutitia. The horses had been runnin very slowly all the way, and as they passe | down the lower stretch tie pace was put @ | hand-gallop. At the three-quarter pole Botany Bay was two lengths in front ot Lava, the later being two lengths in advance of Erastus Corning, the latter a neck in front of Lufitia, As the horses Tan up tue homestretch they began to mend their | pace, and as they passed the stand Botany Kay Was still leading two lengths, Lava second, two lengths in front of Corning, Who was a neck ahead | of the brown filly. A sharper pace was made around the upper turn, and at the quarter pole Botany Bay was a length and a half in advauce of | Lova, but it was very apparent that the filly was biding her time, her jockey, Feeks, riding | to orders. Erastus Corning was four lengtns | behind at this point, two lengths in front of Latitia, Botany Bay kept in tront along the backstretch, and at the bali-mile pole had a length and @ half the best of it, Lava second, three lengths ahead of Corning, the latter being two lengths in advance of Lutitia. From the half mile pole to the three-quarters the running was much faster than beiore, and Botany Bay was al- lowed to lead one length and a haif all tne way to that point; but the instant he passed the pole Feeks moved Lava up, and she soon took sides with the colt, and they swung into the home- stretch side and side, The contest then seemed doubtiul, and as the horses passed the drawgate the backers of Betany Bay felt sure that he would | win, He had the filly next the rails and seemed | | to be beating her at ‘the distance stand, when, to | their great foepeize, Feeks drew his whip, and giving the filly three cuts, she sprang away in an instant irom the colt and janded under the string awinner by @ length. Bebind Botany Bay, ten | lengtus away, came Erastus Corning, and about as man, lengths tn front of Lutitia H. The time of the dash was 3:48%4, the firat mile having taken over two minutes in running it. ‘The iollowing are the summaries :— The First Race.
