The Union Pacific ] are again vic torious , having defeated the Dubuquen or. Saturday afternoon by n score of 4 to 1. In the Dubuquos the Union Pacifies mot the best ball players of the aoason , and from the start the game was intensely interesting. There was the largest attendance at Associa tion park that there 1ms boon sinca the Droadnaught game , there being by actual count eleven hundred and forty tickets token at the gate , which , with the passes to stockholders , etc. , swelled the number to over twelve hundred pooplo. There were 120 car riages on the grounds , The Union Pacifies and the Du buques have the credit of the quick est played game on record by any clubs in the United States , either pro fessional or non-professional. The game was played in the remarkable time of an hour and twenty-five min utes This was largely duo to the promplness with which Mr. Sullivan , the gentlemanly manager and captain of the Dubuquos , got his men into po sition while in the field and also at the bat. In reference- the Dubuque nine , they were without an exception us gentlemanly a lot of boys as the U. Ps , have over had the pleasure effacing facing in the diamond. The BEE re porter had the pleasure of an interview with Mr. Sullivan at his hotel Saturday evening , and found him to bo a perfect gen tleman. In the oourso of conversa tion Mr. Sullivan said that on bohalt of the nine ho wished to extend his thanks to the association , and ea- ptuially to Mr. Sells , for the cour teous manner in which they were on- tortnint'd while in the city , and that ho hoped at some future time to have the * pleasure of coming to Omaha again with aa good if not a bettor nine. Mr. Sullivan was formerly manager of the old Dubuque profes sionals , uwl is considered ono of the bust managers in the country. Satur day'a game throughout was noted for the lack of the usual "kicks , " there not being a single ono made by cither side. side.Tho The Union Pacifies found in the Dubuquos nine baseball players whom they succeeded iu defeating after the hardest played game this season.

The B. & BI. grounds was the scene of an exciting and closely contested game played at the same time as the above , but not so quickly , as it took cloven itmincB for the Spaldinga to boat the B. & M. boys by a score so small as 3 to 2. The game was ono of the best over played in this part of the country , the two nines being very evonlv matched , the Chicago boys batting heavier than their rivah though the latter were superior an fielders. The railroad boya made nothing un til the fourth inning , when they scored two runs to make them even with the two made by the Spaldings in the first inning. There was nothing but goose eggs then for cither aide until the eleventh inning , when the game was decided by Guth of the Spaldingswho reached the homo plato amid intense excitement.

A delightful reception w.is hold at their rcsidenco on Douglas street last evening , attended by many of their neighbors and friends , and at midnight the Concordia society appeared in a body , and gave the happy couple who have enjoyed a quarter of n century of wedded bliss a charming serenade , two instrumental pieces and an appropriate song mak ing up the programme.

Many people entertain the idea that snowwn the mountains is a most wonderful sight. The snow is only soon in spots whore there is a depression or basin in which the snow can ledge and keep partially shaded from the sun , and not on the peaks , as many suppose , oxcvpt on the extremely high ones. Horoaro seen snow spots all along the high pointa of the Rocky range , at frequent intervals. Sumo of these elevations are partially covered With scattering pines. SPUING ! HILL. At this minor railroad division headquarters wo halt thirty minutes for dinner. Hero the mountain Boenory is very attractive on account of the variations in shape and appear- auce. Some are dotted with banks of snow and trees within a half day's walk , while others look graywith bar ren soil thrown up in peaks like BO many prisms. The road continues up the valley between the two high ranges , which are more or less covered with pine trees that look to bo about as big as bean poles. The valley is moro fer tile , and ranchmen have built fences hero and there , t'omocatllo are feed ing on the green fields. The banks of the creek are lined with cottonwood - wood , and all in all this is not so desolate elate a county as has benu described. A few sago ( brush ) remarks are again in order. The mountain scenery is HO full of changes that it does not become tiresome to look at. As wo progress new and miraculous sights appear , the most striking of which is a HOT SODA. Sl-UINQ , which pours out of the very top of a high pile of rocks about a hundred feut above the track , at the rate of a barrel a minute. Again wo have u solid rock as largo as all the houses in Omaha , a long ridge with a crevice in it which admits ot the pas oiigo of the train. The Big Hole river is bordered with cottonwood trees hero as before. This is one of the three forks which comprise the head waters of the Missouri river. Vege tation now looks dried up , and the hot , scorching rnya of old Sol do not promise to reilvo it. At 5 p. m. wo reach DILLON , a mining town of tents and rough board houses , with 800 population. This is an outfitting point for excur sionists who visit the park. Above this point the valley is level , two or three miles in width , and is utilized for agricultural pursuits by irrigation. I saw as fine a field of oats , yet green and growing , as I over saw anywhere. Some farm houses are scattered along the valley. After crossing a level plain of several miles in extent , which is abundantly covered with groups of cactus of the lUt-louvod va- rietyof about two leaves height , wo come to a focus , so to speak , wheruthe bluffs which have hemmed our sphere on the east and west for all day , hero draw to a close and have opened a lit tle , just enough lor the Big Hole river and a railroad train to pass , This is a very "Montuneous" country indeed. Flumes that convey water for irri gation , are seen winding their way around the base of the mountains , which rise very high on either side of us. They are surmounted by rocky spires , pointing upward several foot above the summit , which is wholly made up of sand rocks. Wo follow the Big Hole river for several miles. Scattering pines abound on the moun tain with a few cotton woods near the rivor. This Is known as the DIG HOLE OANON and is a rough and yut picturetque spot. The angles of the rcks uro such as uro not laid down in the fun damental rules of geometry , and are hard to describe. This canon derives its name from the large holes that nature has formed hi the solid , mas sive rocks that are so high. The train stops at a foot crossing of the river to take on a fishing party who have aKVKBlI. BASKETS OP FISH caught from the river , which runs very rapid at this point. A few wild ducks andean occasional sago hen are * .ho only visible signs of life between stations. None of the mountains seen on this trip are above the timber range , which which is 11,000 feet above the sea , save ono or two peaks in the distance. We are now 1C miles from Butte City , whnro wo will remain until Tues day morning and take the * tago to Helena , where wo will remain for a day or two. The entire party are feeling well , though somewhat fatigued by the 80 hours' ride , together with straining the nerves to catch a glimpse of pass ing objects. All in all , the trip has been a picas- aut ono. No pains have boo spared to make everything comfortable. Arrived at Butte City on time at 9 p. in. Sunday evening , August 7th.F. . F. An Old Friend.

Friday evening Mr. Charles Banko entertained a select circle of theatrical and literary friends at his residence on Capitol avenue and Twelfth'streets. The garden , which is laid out in de lightful style , was very prettily ilium- iimted with Chinese lanterns , which , together with the other decorations of a floral nature , made up a very pretty scene. Mr , Ed. Schmitz , the celebrated Gorman comedian , kept the company thoroughly awake by his highly enter taining imitative performances , and the jolly host sang some capital soju f" both English and German , which were highly appreciated. Mrs. Molohin and Mrs. Puls also gave some very amusing duets , and Mr. Kuesterand Mr. Molchin added to the jollity of the occasion with some lively vocal efibrts , Ex-&Iayor Ohaso made a few very oiitoit-iining remarks , \yhich were greeted with hearty cheering , Mr. Charles Bankos in the course of a neat little speech toasted THK OMAHA Hun and its staff with great enthusiasm , and a brief response was made by ono of its representatives. The party broke up at a seasonable hour and in parting the gueits voted the little affair a most brilliant suc cess. Among those present were Col. Ohaso , Mr and Mrs. Ed.
