IN THE NORTHWEST WILDS. SPORTING NOTES.
Exciting Experiences of the Northwest
Mounted Police—Blding on the_Plains
with the 'Thermometer Forty Degrees
Below Zero.
A correspondent writing from Fort Walsh,.
N. W. T., gives a graphic account of the
late visit of Col. Irviue and Capt. -Cotter to
Sitting Bulls camp at Wood Mountain.
The writer, who is one of the detachment
of mounted police who accompaniel the
officers, says: •• Colonel Irvine undertook
to make this dangerous jouruey during the
winter months, to endeavor to explain to
Sitting Bull his position, and . let him dis-
tinctly understand the consequence of his
doing anything against the laws of the
country he is iu. It would be hard to des-
cribe the misery which must be endured on
a trip such as we had to Woad Mountain
and back: The thermometer registered
30-0 to -10 below zero daring the whole
tithe. we were out, and the snow was
particubtrly heavy for the time of year;
The trip (Iowa occupied six days, and was
finished at 12 o'clock one night. after a pull
of 76 miles since -daylight. •
Colonel 1 rvi ne re tu ained at Wodd Mountain
for teu days, until his horses had picked
up, and during the time made a thorough
inspection of the post. The return to Fort
Walsh from Wood Mountainwas one of
-the most :severetrips in police annals.
During the seven days we were out a storm
was blowing in our faces,- while the cold
was intense. The snow was. deep, and on
_ the seaenth day.„ while 30 miles from here,
the whole oiatit got •stuck in the drifts,
the waggons were left on the prairie, and
we rode the horsesin bareback, gettinghere
at midnight half atarved and. With our faces
and hands badly frozen."
CRICKETER'S SUCCESS.
It is stated that David Eberts, formerly
well known in Western Ontario as a cricket
bowler, and who left some three years ago
for British Columbia, has been admitted to
the bar of that province, and- has stepped
into the office of his brother-in-law (who
hastecently been appointed judge) with a
_practice of between $5,000 and $6,000 per
annum already secured for him.
THE TURF.
Lumps (141 hands high), by George
Wilkes. is the smallest trotter on the turf,
and Dr. E. II. Pritchard, V. S., has at his
stables in Indianapolis, Ind., the largest
trotter on the _turf, or that has ever been
put under the turf. He is a sorrel, 19
hands high and well proportioned, with
good action. Ile is 7 years old, has no
record, but has trotted a half -mile in 1.12,
and a full mile in 2.28.—N. Y. Sportsman.
Mr. Palmer, "mine host' of the. Palmer
House, of Richmond Hill, has sold his
trotting mare Della Waite to Mr. Bart
Tumbleson, of Aurora, for $800.
The amount won in racing stakes in
England, including added money, in 1E377
was nearly a:195,000, and during the three
following years this amount never ceased
to 'grow, until in 1880 it reached nearly
.C217,000. Despite this there were but
2,026 horses stripped in 1880, which is less
by 500 than the number raced in 1868,
1869 and 1S70. .
Mr._ John W. Conieyl offers to trot
Director. against Sweetheart; mile heats,
best -three ive, for 810,000, the race to
take place at the Chicago driving- park on
July 9th.
