The side win- ning the most games in one hour anda quarter wero to receive from their opponents a set of silver spurs aking six prizes; the games to be according to the Hurlingham rules, and aiter playing thirty minutes the players were to rest fifteen, The game began in earnest at twenty minutes past lve, and the captains charged for the ball, and, both | nissing, Mr. Douglas gave it a good crack, but the vues managed to get it near their goal, where a knock vat followed. After 1t was thrown in Mr. Jay got it for the blues, followed by Mr. Oelricns, of the reds, the latter sending it quite a distance in the direction of his yoal it was near the red’s goal when there were several knock outs. Captain Ridgway got possession of it again after it had been knocked back from his goal, and repeatedly struck it, and the blues were seen rashing for his goal in order to head it off. The latter were successful and got it on the west sido of the lot, where thero was a knock out, and in a second more it was in the centre of the lot, where a very interesting scrimmage took place, all the Horses being in close together, Mr, Douglas, of the reds, got the ball from its obscure position and knocked it out of bounds, near his goal. He was Closely pressed by Mr. Jay, who gave it a hanlsome back stroke; but the reds got it again, and while it was in front of their goal, with success staring them in the face, there was some notable playing and the reds Qnally won, .

SECOND GAME. ‘The second game followed immediately, the captains Mr. Jay, for the blues, got it first, tho reds, in agsecond, bad it ncar their goal, when Mr, Petors, for the blues, sent it back @ long distance, but it was met by Mr, Douglas, who returned it to where his opponent found it. The play- | ers were now all at close quarters in the northeast carner of tho lot, the blues having saved detcut lor a few seconds; but the reds were bent on victory and Sent the ball between their penuants in good style. Time, 3m. THIRD GAME, The third game followed as quickly as tho sides could reach their goals. Mr. Griswoid, for the blues, and Captain Ridgway charged, the latter gotting toe bali tirst, followed by Mr. Thorne for the biues, who struck it in good style, Messrs, Rogers and Hunue- well, of the reds, bowover, sent it back, and the ball was again near the reds’ goal, where Captain Ridgway wos noticed as having the game all his own way. Mr. for the blucs, who found in him an able nt, as Captain Ridgway did in Mr. Douglas, beaded him off. The bal! was now in the soutt corner of the lot aud speeding its way toward the goal of tho reds. Ita second more it was directly in front, and the ponies were all in a heap. Mr. Jay knocked 4 out in order to prevent the reds trom gaining tho victory a8 soon as they expected, The blues wero noticed to be playing well, and with tho usaistance of Mr. Thorne the bail was knocked near tbeir goal, where Mr, Jay knocked it out. Aller it was thrown in Captain Ridgway got control of it and sent it a long distance, striki it repeatedly in the direction of his goal. His success was followed up by Mr. Douglas ia good style. Mr, Jay was no- ticed to make a handsome back stroke, and the ball was again knocked gut of bounds near the reds’ goni. The horses being in a beap, one of them, crowded by the o:ners, pushed one of the pennant rods to the fround, and, while it was being put in place again, tho ployers bad a briet rest. Alter the ball was thrown im Mr. Jay was tho first to get it, and his luck was followed up by Mr.’ Gros- wold, who played well. He was followed by Mr. Peters, algo of the biues, when a knockout fol- jowed from the centre of the lot ou the east side, and ts soon as the ball was thrown in the players were all dudaled together. Mr, Griswold gave the hail soon Mterwara two good hits and sent it between the pen- janis, Winning the game for the blues, Time, 13m, FOURTH GAME. To less than a minute and a half the fourth game was in progress, with Captain Ridgway and Mr. Gr woid charging for the ball. The iaiter missed, but be- | fore the reds could reach it the captuin of the blues got possession of it. The reds immediately afterward cap- tured the ball, and were taking it toward their goal at a rapid’ rate. The ponies were ail in ao heap and the players were considerably excited. At this point Mr. Douglas’ horse was seen to fall. Iniess | Shan ball @ second the spectators were seen rushing to sho spot. The pony hag rolied over Mr. Douglas, but, fortunately, did not strike him with b me of the accicent the players ha in which to complete the time, before the | rest, viz, twenty minutes. Dr. M: of Baltimore, and Dr. Harry Sims, of New York, were furtuvately on the ground, and with the kind assistance of Mr. Doug. | jas’ numerous friends, did all they could for him, and tu abou ten minutes after the accident he was allowed | to walk to his c wriage, and as he was seon on his way thither the spectators gave vent to their feelings in applause, the ladies waved their handkerchiets, the band struck up a lively air and there was no little re- | foicing that the ace.dent had not been serious. | (At Mr, Douglas’ earnest solicitation the players cor vented to play again, but they wisely postponed the | souclusion of their match until next week, when Mr. | Douglass will be able to be on hand. There were four | very intercsting games, and the fxct that the specta- | ors, despite the biusiering weather and the near ap- | | | proach of darkness, remained until they were finished, f that they were well played.

LEGER. KISBER, PETRARCH AND FORERUNNER IN TRAIN- ING FOR THE IMPORTANT EVENT—WHAT 18 THOUGHT OF THEIR CHANCES, The next great race on the English turf—the St. Leger, one mile, six furlongs, 132 yards, to be run September 13—is receiving the usual attention trom the sporting press of London. At present, Mr. Alexander Baltazzi’s Kisber, the Derby winner, !s the favorite, with Lord Dupplin’s Petrarch second choice, and Mr. R. Peck’s Forerunner third in the betting market, Of theso principal candidates for tho important event, the spo- cial commissioner of the London Sportsman, August 16, say: Un Saturday, August 5, when writing of the St. Leger horses, I stated hat the nigut following his victory for tho Prince of Wales’ Stakes at Ascot Petrarch got cast in his box at the hotel stables, and that this would probably account for tho wretched display he made in the Biennial and Trienmal Stakes later im the week. It was evident (hat during these two races the son of Lord Clifden was in pain, but as there was no evi- | dence of injury to his limbs, be might have becn afflicted with some strain internally, or perhaps in the muscles of bis back or loins, Judicious rest, combined with the care and experienced treatment which we all know be would receive at tho hands of Joho Dawson, enavied me to say that he had entirely recovered from this misha ud that there was nothing to stand in the way of ving a prepa- ration jor the St Leger. Since then Petrarch has been going on all right, and has advanced from 610.1 to 5tol in the quotations. In fu r reference to this extraordivary colt 1 can only @ that, so long as be remains in work, be is a most dangerous subject to take a liberty with; and I have reason to believe that Jobo Dawson will have a better chance to train. him for the St. Leger than he had tor the Derby. Kisber was subjected to.somo little hostility during last week on account of bis appearing at exercise with his fore legs bandaged. It is certainly not a very cheer- ing circum: ce wr the backers ot the Derby winner to know that his limbs are encased in such unsightly dajancts to the art of training. It should, however, be taken into consideration that, as I have frequently stated, the son of Buccaneer 1s a heavy colt on his legs and a groas feeder, This necessitates either constant work or more physic than is, perhaps, well for the horse to keep down a superabundance of loose flesh. ‘Tho ground has been too hard at Newmarket and many other places during the past fortnight to keep battering a horse along that has becn ip work since last Febrasry, which has really been the caso with Kisber, who is fitto run atany moment. Hard work and strong physic bave, according tw circum- stances, to be occasionally diversified by sweats, In order to create ® copious perspiration and dispenso with fast gallops heavy clothing is absolutely nere: sary. This adds to the ordinary weight of tne horse body, and to obviate the consequent extra amount of concussion to the legs and fect handages are frequently and most judiciously applied to brace the fetiocks and back sinews of the lore legs, as a preventative of mis- haps to these parts during the very long but slow gal- Jops necessary for the process of sweating the animal. Since Angi Sisber has been exercised with band- st 8 K ayes on his fore Jegs and clothed in heavy sweaters, His daily task up to the end of Inst week was slow ca! tering, diversified with occasional trotting, over three miles and a half to four miles, Good judges inform mo that not the slightest symptoms of lameuess have been observable i the horse, and the trot is, above all paces, sure to expose an uneven gan, if it exists. Knowing the practicai method pnrsued by Joseph Hayhoo with 80 many of the soft-legged sons of King Tom that he had under bis care for the Jate Baron Rothschild, I tink his treatment of Kisber is not so suggestigy of any mishap baving occurred to ths horse as iis desire sound on his legs, while the ground 13 so hard, by the ovly pian at his disposal. I shall, ther fore, continue to consider Derby wioner being still a sound horse until [ know posi- uvely to the contrary. It is, however, cersain that as the son of Buccaneer has been Kept in work during the whole of the season the strain on his limbs must continue to be very great right up to the day of the race tor the St. Leger, and if 1 was one ot his heavy supporters I should much prefer the race being Gxed tor this week instead of the middle of Sep- tember. Foreranner does not require moro than about halt the work that it is necessary to give Kisber, though he should now be rattling long in ovcasional good guilops over the nice clastic going aiways to be found in the driest of weather on the Rusésley training grounds. Rovert Peck has plenty of horses to lead Forerunner in his work, and to try him too, when he is suflicientiy fit to be “asked"a question.” Conseil is good enough for the present to be the schoolmaster of ‘Lhe Paimer's sop, but as the day of the race for the St. Leger draws vigh, Freeman and Hampton will be enabied to bridg him along over one mile and three quarters at a pace—if consider recessary—good enough to win the great race of the North. Wiub | nore length than even Petrarch—who ts the best look- Ing and most blood-like horse 1m the St. Legor—Fore- runner has fine size, syinmetry and biood-like style, but he has hitherto been rather deficient in muscular development Lhave no doubt that be will improve somewhat in this point, but he has a most dangerous opponent in Kisber, if not Petrarch. Should, nowever, nything occur tothe Derby winner, { should recom: nd Forerunner alone to win and Petrarch to be second. This, as the matter now stands, of cour: means that for the present | think Kisber will win the St. Leger, that Forerunner will be second and Petrarch third, Thero were no regattas at Prospect Park yesterday afternoon, owing to toe strong fiawy wind which pre, vailed over the lake. Onty the foliowing boats dared to brave the breeze:—Schooners Ida May, Rober( Cen- ter, Lizzie, Adela, Millie, Amelia, Unknown and J. Y. Culyer; sid sioops La Bayadore and Florence.

The Center, under reeled sat!s, did | well, and the Lizzie and Ida May, under jib and main- sail, behaved excellently.

THE SCOTTISH AND THE AUSTRALIAN BIYLE TEAMS AT PRACTICE—-THB HEPBURN TROPHY AND THE “SPIRIT OF THE TIMES” BADGE MATCHES, Tho spanking breeze which blew yesterday at Creed- moor, although an obstacie to good practice, did not pre- venta large attendance of expert riffemen from going on, with the mauly sport. The featares of the day’s shoot- ing were the practice meeting ot the Scottish team, the third contest among the Austrahans for places on their team, the long range match for the Hepburn trophy, and the short range contest for the Spirit of the Times Medal, The marksmen got out on the early train and opened fire from the 800 yards points at tne usual bour. The Scot- ‘ish team had the mght of the line, the Australians the centre, and the Americans (who commenced to shoot for the Hepburn trophy where the visiting teams com- menced to practise) were on the left. The wind blew from eight to ‘ten o’clock"*—that 1s, nearly at right angles across the line of fire from leit to right It proved to be a severo test to the nerves and muscles of the competitors, and it must have been particularly trying to the Scotchmen, nearly all Of whom have no support for the barrels of their rides save what is com- mupicated from strong sinewg and steady, practised hands, The atmosphere was ciear, the actinic proper- ties of the light good, aud the mark distinctly visible even at the extromoe distance of 1,000 yards. As will be seen from the records, the Scoichmen made an ag- gregate of 1,420 points and the Austrahans 1,443 in the best eight scores of either team, SCORES OF THE SCOTTISH TRAM. Totals w.

WAR ON THE SIOUX. — THY MILITARY SITUATION IN THE BIG HORA COUNTRY— PICKET FIGHTING WITH INDIAN8— THE CHASE APTER THE SAVAGES IN THE DIREC TION OF POWDER RIVER, | [Special correspondonce of the Helena (Montana) Indes pendent.) Bozeman, Angust 20, 1876 Captain Wiliam B Cutter arrived at Fort Ells you terday, dud brings the following intelligence:— Terry aud Crook Jormed « janction about thirty-five | Iles up the Rosebad, Lt seas that the Indians bad been annoying Crook ai ving in his pickets for some tine, ip ele nost whieh be dec’ at feast until be felt more able to copy with them, Despairing in the effort to oring bim to bate, they broke camp and started for Powder | River, or at [east 1u an easterly direction. Crook tol- jowed on their trati, Aud on the 11th inst, came in sight of Terry moving up the Rosebud. Their forcos were immediately got (plo readimess, and op the 12th 1st A the truil uf the Indians, taking with them n days’ rations, leaving the train bebind, so as to » eXpeditionsly. Captain Cutter does not think they will be able te come up With the ludians, they bave several days the start of the troops. We can only conjecture what will foliow, but for my part 1 look upon the campaign ag | ended for the summer. Tbe troops will foliow until Tutions give out and their horses will be jaded, and the result will be simply a mare down tho river and mareb back again, It can be sately estimated that there are from 8,000 to 10,000 hostile Indians under arms, and our governs ment has not got halt enough forces in the field to cire cumvent their movements in sich @ large area of country. I presumed the Indians rematved in front ot Crook’s armny as long as they could subsist and then had to m away, and it may be possible that they may make @ stand when they get to a country where they have all the advantages of position, dlcCormick and others are expected to-night and may bring later news, Should anything further transpire will post you immediately, LALER. Bozsmax, August 21, 1876, Since I wrote you Messrs. Mounts and McCormick have arrived, and I have been enabled to got further particulars from the front. As I wrote you, the Sioux broke camp and started toward Powder River, Crook struck the trail and wag following when he met General Terry on the 11th inst, The forces were iinmediately consolidated and moved iu pursuit on the 12th, Colonel Miles, with six eom- panies with artillery, was despatched to the river, there to take boats and patrol the stream to prevent @ crossing. Up to the latest dates the Indians have not shown any intention of doing #0. The trail leads down, and paraliel with the Yellowstone, about twenty miles from it It 18 So large that those acquainted with such things estimate the force at trom &,000 to 10,000 In- dians, The signs made ure sowe about eight days old, some five, some three and some only a day or two ahead of Crook, showing that they moved in detach- ments, but all pursuing the same course, As I wrote before’ Terry and Crook followed on the 12th, leaving the train of artillery and Gatling guns, taking only such arms as they could carry. and Oftcen days’ rations, intending to make about thirty-five miles per day. By examination of the map yon will discover that froin where Terry ana Crook formed a junction on the Rosebud, that by the trail the Indians took, 1 is about thirty-five miles to Tougue River and about halt the distance from Tongue River to Powder River the Bad Lands commence, and Mr. Mounts says he has no doubt that a battie bas ecourred before vow. He thinks the Indians intend to draw the soldiers into the Bad Lands, where they cannot use heavy guns, and there, in a position selected by themselves, to give the soldiers batt. He thinks the forces are entirely too inadequate to cope with such @ large body of Indians, From what! can learn of the Bad Lands they consist of deep, almost perpendicuiar ravines, with hero and there a narrow trait leading down into ono of the gorges, and following up or down some distanco, where & Barrow trail leads out of it—a country unavatlabie for artillery or ven ior the @i ployment of cavairy “to advantage, This boing s0, we can readily see that the Indians have a terrible advantage over a foree like that under Terry and Crook, By forced marches the mea and bhorres will be jaded, whie the Indians will bo comparatively refreshed. Ofcourse it is hart to con. jecture what may be the intentions of Sitting Bull; bas 1 think it sate to say that he intends to tigbt, eb followers would have separated into small” parties and eluded the soldiers. ' From all Tcan learn, instead of holding the Ine! check, they have actually besieged him for st ving in his picke every day and otherwise harassing him, to preveut @ junction with Terry, and whon Terry 1# likely soon ta y fold their tente and away to ground on whien they can more success fuily compete aganst the combined forces, where ars tllery cannot be used, nor even Gaittling guns, and where cavulty cannot operate against them 60 succerm ful Taking all these things into consideration, I look witn anxiety for the next news and fear a great disas- ter. Should we receive any news this way (though . ed down the river sooner) | will immediately post’ you, 1t will tako another defeat to convince the government that there aro not half enough troops in the field RETREAT OF TH INDIANS. [From the Helena (Montana) Independent.) The correspondence which we publish this morning from Bozeman leaves no room to doubt that the press despatches detailing the retreat of Sitting Bull are tn all exsential particalars entirely correct, It is evi- dently the intention of the savages to lure the troops into the Bad Lands or, evading them, to escape north into British America. The success of eitner plan will bring the campaign to a disastrous and inoxcusable termination. The long inaction of Terry and Crook, to put the most favorable construction on their conduct, is ul pardonabie, It 1s now evident that the comparati small body of reimforcements which joined them during an interval of two weeks previous to their advance | was not necessary to enable them to cope with the Im dans, If the savages are unable to resist them now they Were equally unprepared for a conflict at any time for a month previous to beginning their retreat’ in the direction of Powd River, 40 facts confirm the impression, beginning to be prevalent in Montana, that the caution of tha military bordered very cloarly upon fear, Neither Crovk hor Terry have manifested auy overwhelming If ab all solicitous of an engagement it could have been brought about and the Ludians discomtited two weoks ago. ‘There ts another aspect of the military situation which borders very closely on tho ridiculous, This is the idea of pursuing Indiens with infantry, and the cool anbouncement tbat if not snecessial in overtaking them the army will abandon the Yellowstone country and march overland to Fort Bufurd and go into winter quarters, What, then, isto become of the frontier? Is the coaniry between the Gallaun Valley and the Yellowstone to be lett open to Indian incursions and the settlements given up to the tury of the savages? It is hardiy probable that Situng Bull will stay in the Bad Lands any longer than the army is menacing his rear. The troops once withdrawn, tho whole fron- tier 18 left to his mercy. What that will be admits of no question. The fact is, te entire campaign bas been a disas. tro failure, and the announcement that Terry and Crook are bravely following on the trial. four days be. hind the savages will not relieve them trom ti ignominy of gross incompetency in the inenagement ampaiga that might very easily bave been mad success. They have been ignorant of the propor way te fight Indians or have been afraid to do it, Kithet horn of the dilemma is not creditable to their bravery a8 officers or their skill as commanders, HORTICULTURAL EXPOSITION, A meeting ot the New York Horticultural Society will be held next Wedpesday afternoon, 1a Science Hall, No. 141 Eighth street, for the purpose of ar- ranging for the coming horticultural exhibition at Gik more’s Garden, which opens on the evening of the 19th of September and continues during Wednesday, Thursday and Friday alternoons and evenings.
