Joun Dolan, late a soldier of Company M, Seventh United States cavairy, who was discharged at Rosebud River, July 3, by expiration of term of enlistment, and whose character in bis discharge papers is put down as “exce!lent,’’ arrived here this morning on the Lake Superior and Mississippi train, and was subsequently found by a Jispatch reporter at the Montreal House, on Minnesota street. Dublin and is thirty-two years old, and has been iu the Unittedstates service since 1862, gives the following ac- count of the light of the 25th, in which the illefated Custer lost his life and entire command, as observed by himsel( as to the part which Major Reno and bis com. mand played therein. . TALE OF AN RYE-WITNESS. On the 25th of June Major Reno was ordered by Cus- ter to charge the danks of the Indian village with three companies, Custer saying he would support him atter he got in. When he bad made the charge over the roll- ing country inte the tat the Indians gave way into the timber, Whereupon Reno dismounted his ‘men and fought them afoot, doubling bis skirmish line and pushing the Indians back into the timber and leaving the horses in the suelter of the same. Reno had not been long in the tiinver when the Indians commenced to surround them ou all sides, and, seeing that his weition was untepable, he remarked to Captain rrench, “We are surrounded on ail sides and must cut our way out, Every man follow me.” Thereupon the force remounted and charged across the river. That charge was like passing through a fiery furnace, the ludiaws trying to keep them /rom the bint’ But Reno made tue biuifs through the terrttic tire.

M., Lieutenant Colonel W. B. Far- weil directing. Eight competitors responded, aud the match was commenced under most favorable light aud heat. The wind, however, which was blowing strong from the firing point toward the targets, with an occa- sional shift to the left, somewhat annoyed the marks- men, The distances covered in this match were 800, 900 and 1,000 yards, commencing at the latter; ton shots were allowed at this distance, M{teen at 900 and twenty at 1,009, making a total of forty-five shots, with highest possible score 226 points, The shooting was in | the main not up to the regular work of the long-range men, while, {rom the limited number of entries at this | as well as the previous contests, the mateh would seem | not to be popular.

GOOD SPORT ON PROSPECT PARK LAKE—THE MILLIE, PIONEER AND LIZZIE THE VICTOLS. ‘There were two important events at Prospect Park Yesterday, and as there was a fine breeze irom the south’ard daring the entire alternoon they were botu very successiul, The yachtsmen are falling imo a habit of waiting until a late hour to begin their races, which makes the spectators impauient and drives a large number of them away beiore the sport begins, ‘The first race of the day was between the Millie, Cap- tan W. Northrup, and the Tudie, Commodore Peto, of the American Model Yacht Club, for the Commo- dore’s cup. There was nothing specially exciting about the lirst heat, which the Millie won easily in Sm, 158 over the course trom Club House Island to the cove on the south shore, beating her autagonist by 2m. and 45s, The second heat was closer. The Milne got away tirst, but the Tudie overbauied her be. fore the first tack Was made, and trom this time uotil three more tacks were made the race was aimost even. At last the Millie bezan to pull ahead, and finally came in the winver for the second time in Tm. and 3ds., the Tudle’s time being 9m. and4s Thus the Millie won the eup ihe regatta of the Prospect Park Club followed and was very closely contested.

The second heat was won by good sailing on the part of Commodore Conkiin, who, instead of putting bis boat around every filly feet as several of the other nuy= igators did, put ih three long tacks, which put the Ke- public over the line tn the best time. In tMe third heat Commodore Conklin again pursued his loug tack-tics and Was wgain successful in making the best ti ‘The Republic having now won two heats out of three » was declared the winner of the first prize, aud the wr yachts were ordered to sail over the course coud pr.ze. This was the most exciting . The boats ail went off on the first , and each stood well im for the Biack Pain. The Pioneer went around first and was sailing well, but was pass @ by the Little Gat before sho made another tack, The Lizzie ran away from | the Robert Center, and began vo overhaul the Pioneer, | which she accomplished when about three-quart rs of the way over the course. Then the lioneer began to pick Up again, Dut Was unable (o pass the Center. ‘Ihe Center slowly began to overtake tre Gat, but the latter passed the humestake first Lelore sue could be reached. The Little Gat was ruled out of the race, however, b canse her navigator was seen by the judzes to push her with bis oar, and as the Lizzie was second in this heat she became Lhe winner of the second prize.

Below will be found the hst of entries for the amateur handicap games which take place at the New York Athictic Club Grounds, at Mott Huven, on Srturday next Several entries have been omitted from the list on account of informality m the entry, and those whose names are not given shoald at once see that the necessary information is furnished. Mr. Curtis, under whose management the meeting is given, may well be congratulated upon receiving such hearty sup- port from the athletes of New York and vicinity. The feature of open amateur handicaps isa new one with us, and it only requires a fair trial such ag this to estab- lish them as the most taking thing for athletes of all classes, affording, as 1s does, a fairly equal chance for all, The programme will be a most attractive one, as the latge number of competitors necessitates the 100 yards being divided up into at least a dozen heats. The quarter mile race is always considered one of the prettiest of athletic sports, as it 1s hardest, andthe men who have sent in thoir names for this race are some of the best ronners in thecountry. Doubtless the great- est amount of intercst will be centred on the two mile walk, which bas Stern, Holske, McEwen, Watson, the college champion; Forrest, Knox, Gates, and indeed most of the crack amateur walkers of the country as competitors. The meeting of Williams and Mahoney in the mile ran will doubtless settle their respective merits finaily, but whether they can carry off the prizes re- mains to be seen, for the men entered against the: are all first class. Tne list has been turnet over to Mr, James Watson, of the New York Sportsman, the hand capper, and that gentleman prom| to have the hauutcap ready jor publication on Tuesday morving. ‘The sports will begin about four o'clock P. M., 80 as to permit those engaged in business a good opportunity of having an excellent two hours’ amusement :— ONE HUNDRED YARDS, Thomas Buckley, Brooklyn, Le L W. A.

SECOND EXHIBITION OF THE CALIFORNIS POLO CLUS AT MONMOUTH PARK. ‘The second exibition by the members of the Cailfor- nia Polo Club was given at Monmouth Park yesterday afternoon, In the attendance yesterday’s display at- tracted, as well as in certain otner features, it wat superior to the display of last Thursday. The weather, too, was much pleasanter, No more delightiul day could have been vouchsafed for the sports of the field, Quite a number of sojourners at Long Branch turned out in their carriages to see the new game, anda special train left the Branch on the Jersey Southero Railroad at three o’clock in the afternoon for Mon- mouth Park, returning at a quarter betore six. The exhibition, a8 was annoanced, commenced at half- past three, The following was the programme of ex- ercises:— PROGRAMME. 1, Foust day feats of the Spanish heupatat oy dos Hidalgos soing the mustang Jourdan, Figuero, Billurd and Cariilo, ions of changing iu long distance racing. Dash ies, three changes. sania aninke toi lithind te dal i 4. Polo...... csesseee(Professionals aro invite re pa Mowry, Morsaun, Jourdan, Carillo, Piguero and Bailard. Captain Mowry cisplayed the same skill as on the former day 1 his illustration of the “feast day feats” of the Spanish gentiemen riders. While his horse was going at a sweeping gallop he jumped off and on agaia with the greatest apparent ease aud without checking the upimal’s pace or swerving trom bis course. He rode, as previously, with the large Mexican saddle and the Spanish bit, to which bis mustangs evidently have been trained, so readily do they come to a standstill in fesponse to the siightest ceck on the bridle rein, After dismounting and remounting in this rapid mane ner several times and showing how easily articles are picked up from the ground by such horsemen while going at high speed, the bucking borse was led ont on the track and Captain Mowry mounted. Whea the auimal’s head Was teleased by tue attendants off dashed, “bucking” away at a tremeudous rate, Some of the spectators laughe: heartily at tue style of ine plunging mustang, while otuers held their breath ia terroe lest the rider should lose bis seat aud be dashed against tue lence or, at the least, barely escape with a broken hmb. The mustang made the most frantic efforts to throw his rider, kicking and Jumping worse than a trick mule; but Captain slowry rode like a een- taur, abd when tho spectators saw that be was equal to the Occasion he was rewarded with a round of applause, The second part of the programme, ‘Sports of the rodeo,” brought out four o:her members of the club, Wuo showed how small articies are picked up from the field by the Culiforuia mustang rider while going at @ bri jop. But one rider missed the objoct to be picked up, and he failed twice, but finally succeeded as Well ay the others, i Their next effort was to lasso a mustang. feature of the day’s exhibition could possivly hw been shown to better advantage if the Caiilurnia Ciub had a mustang to turn loose that was as wild as those recently seen at Fleetwood Park. Bat most of their antinals are almost as docile as the average American horse. The one turned louse yesterday was particularly quiet, It was a little white auimai and seemed loth to eave {ts stable companious, Meanwhile tne riders had provided themseives with long iariats and sat in their Saudics ready tor the chase and capture, After some hutle persuasion the liberated mustang was made to travel ata pretty rapid rate, and the horsemen set of in her pursuit, After they had got well away tho riders commenced to throw their lassooing ropet which they can set off and recover with remarkable sill, The cuase had not proceeded far whea one ol the riders dashed up to the white mustang, threw bit lugso about twenty yards ahead, and, bringing the loop over the mustang’s neck, checked his own animal sud: deniy and torew the lassoed mustang on its baunches in an instant, The next feature of the day’s sport was Captain Mowry’s exhibition of rapid changes in long distance riding. For this illustration turee horses were pro. vided, on each of which he rode a mile, making two changes in front of the grand stand beiore finishing (he distance named, Tuese changes were made in muck the same way as on Thursday. A mounted attendant rode beside the Capiaim at the finish and held his bridle, while a second mounted ationdant, leading a second horse, rode on the other ‘side, the horse with the empty saldla bein; brought next to the horse ridden an Captain Mowry. Seizing the bridle of this borse in one hand and the pommel of his suddie with the other would try to jump trom one saddie to the othe’ both efforts yesterday he seemed to drop on the hip, but, witha rm grasp, le heid on to the sadd and, dropping to bis ieet, he bounded on the animal's back without checking his speed. ‘These exhibstions being over the club made ready for the first match at poio. ‘There were ouly turee playert on each side, With Captain Mowry leading one side and Captain Morgan the other. Guly two games wert played and Captaim Mowry’s team won both. The play was on the track, which was too narrow and dusty to show the players to the vest advantage. The specta- tors, especially such ax had not seem the game belore, althougu much pleased with the clever horseman: 1p aud expert play shown, would, doubtless, ba eujoyed the game much better ti they saw it piayed on the tar, The first © was very brief, ending in favor of Captain Mowry’s side, alter a dash and a vriel struggle, in Which tie players seemed mixed beyoud the possibility of recognition. The second game lasted about three times as loug as the first, and was gallantly contested on both sides, no one betug able to divine on whose banner Victory would rest until the very last stroke had been given, This game: was played with the Jerome Park Polo Ciub mullet, in the use of which the players did not seem as well skilied as with their own shorter one. ‘ihey straggled and rushed to and tro with the force of ancient kuights in chivairie encounters, swinging their horses about and dashing imto tbe game appurentiy to the immiaeut peri! of limb or lile But they came through un- scathed and only a littic beated with thetr efforts in the game. Altnough the California Club generously tovited protersional polo players to join with them in the game there were no volunteers ou the fleld ana they were left to divide the honors among themselves, A CALL ON THE BREEDERS OF Live STOCK.
