What promtaes to be the most succossful turf- meoling held in the Westorn Btates was inaugu- rated at Doxtor Park yosterday morning. Tho fact that tho promiums offercd aro gonerous in the oxtromo, and that the well-timed gonorosity had met with & hesrty rosponeo from ownors of fast horses in ol purts of tho Union, has beon town talk for days past, honce it waa hardly to bo wondorod aé that, notwithstanding the vory unfsvorable state of tho woathor, somo 8,000 pooplo, gentlomon and ladios, tbrongod yeaterday to the Park, to witnoss tho oponing races, Tho enthusinsm caused by tho exciting naturo of sevoral of tho contests wag in nowiso abatod by tho shower, which lasted ateadily for somo time, and tho samo son- sation seomod to be shared in by tho horsos,who, notwithstanding tho heaviness of the track and tho rain, made astonishingly good timo through- out. Although ono or two cantrotompts oconrred during the races, which must have boen snnoy- ing to cortain partioa who had bot monoy on cor- tain horses, tho non-botting looker-on, who wont moroly to enjoy tho excitement of & day's racing, must have boon delighted with the rogularity with which ovent followed ovent, just as thoy wore laid down in the pro- grammo. The pluck exhibited by tho ladios ‘who drovo out to sce tho races desorves encour- egomont, being in itsclf 8o upt to encourage one o? the noblest aports of tho nation, Y the rain foll heavily and incossantly, overy now and then, snxiously inquiring faces, sheltored be- neath the daintiest of paragols, peoped from car- ringo doors and peered anxiously after tho horses a8 thoy gathored for the siarf, and, whon that was accomplished, and they were spooding on their way, down camo thoe currisge-covers, and, putting their solo trust in ““watorproofs,” ' the Iladics dared the olomonta until tho last horse was sepn to dart under tho winning string. One of the anth sulfforerg by the raln was a well-known ocal sporting man, who lad such trust in the ‘weathor's not going baclk on Chicago that he at- tondod tho mooting in o light alopaca coat, ‘whicli, howaver, ho mannged to oxchange Iater in the day for a gum overcoat that had ovidently ‘been originally intonded to clothe a Horcules or Goliath, Without wishing to criticise, it may ot bo statod that, tke it ull in all, tho riding was oftor than the driving, some of tho dsrkeome Jockoys sticking to thoir mottlosomo horses in eplondid stylo, and oliciting goneral ndmiration, whilo the pilofing of n fow of the drivers waa rather carcless or injudicious, it is hard to toll which, and caused adverso criticiems, to which, howovar, es arleing on tho first day of tho moet- ing, it is porhaps bottor to make no more than a pegsing allusion, Tako it for oll in all, tho meoting has had & brilliantly suspiciona opan-~ ing, oud, with the Loon of fine weatler at ita back, thero is no doubt that tho presont will gmvn oo of tho finost mootings that have ever een beld in the country, TIE FIRST RACE. Promptly at 10 o'clock in tho forenoon, the hiour at which tho first race in the summer meot~ ing of the Dextor Park Club was advertised to commonce, the colts and fillies nominated for the Gardnor House stako wora rung out on tho track to contond for the prizes. According to.the ¥r2ntud programme, thore were five nominations lor the raco, but for somo unoxplained reason only one starter put in an appoarance, the own- ors of the romaining four proferring qufi half- forfoit. Tho eolitary starter was W. W. Hamil- ton's b, 1. Motto, and, under tho direction of tho Judgos, sho was drivon onco around the track and then taken to her atall, tho winnor of 8500 without o struggle. Tho Judgea snnounced that tho **victory” was technically known na a # walk-over,” and the moagre attondance smiled, and looked ot their cards for the next attraction in tho list. ¥or tho information of thoso whose education in mattors pertaining to the turf may have beon noglooted, wo will state that no atten- tion whatovor {s paid to tho time made by a borse in a “ walk-over.” Tho starter whioh is fortunato enough to find no competitora on the courso has tho permission of everybody to make 5 milo in any goit that may be eatisfactory to it~ solf and its driver. There woro no pools old on the race, and no private betting was indulged in, Thoreforo tho only losers aro those who had thoir confldonce shaken in the four drawn horsos. sUAnMATY, Dexren PARE, 010400, July 1, 1873,~First. day of #ummer meeting—Gardner Houso Btako for colts and Allies 8 _years old, $100 each, half forfeit, $300 added %y the Gardner Houso.

This last effort of Allen aud Ragglo, and tho circumatances which attond it, show that thoy aro two of the worat charno- tors that the polico force of any city ever had to deal with. Inviow of tlis fact, it would seom that tho nuthoritios hore havo koptthom con- flued in o very unsafo place, an cscape from which would have beon accomplished with but little troublo but for tho watch- fulness of tho officora in attondanco.

Returning to the city oncomore, they prooured another and much largor lot of firo-works, and still moro drinks, 'L'hey thou started out to Cam) Chaso to “finish up * thelr night's revels, When about four milos wost of the oity, the hackman, whose name Is Waloutt, noticod that the party had a lighted torch in the vehicle. He tried to take it away from thom, but was unable to do so, Almost immodliatoly aftorward the fire-crackers begon to explodo in tho lack, aud the horses, frightened uf tho noiso, set off at full speed. As tho vebivle went dashing nlonfi tho road the rookets took fire and bogun to shoot out at tho windows their long trails of fire, illuminating the whole landsoape, Then the Roman candles his pistol, aiming directly at the body of Chap- pell, who stood noar tho doorway. The lattor, not having beon informed of the man's strange behavior at thohotol on Thureday night, doomoed iv u‘ucussufiy to resort to oxtreme moasures, and onticipated the movoment of tho stranger by drawing his weapon quickly and firing point- Dlank at his strango antagonist. Tho ball entered the man's moutls, and he fell upon the floor corpse. Tho citizons of Farmington gonarally sustain Constablo Chnn{au, a6 he waa manifectly acting 1n self-dofonse, but ho promptly placed himsolt in tho hands of the authorities, Thero was nothing on tho stranger's person which would give a clue to hia identity or paat history. 1t 18 bolioved, however, that Lo was cithor Fronch or German, aud that ho formerly resided at Buakopoo, The torribloand mysterious affair creatod groat excitemont at Farmiugton, and the authorities aro taking such slops na appear to be proper and nocessary under the circumstances of tho cuse. There is but littlo doubs that tho strangor was insane, but iho constable iy held guiltloss of wroug, bocatgo ho know nothing about tho man, oxcopt that ho had probably murdered a follow- townsman and offored violent resistance to Chap- pell’s demand for surrondor.
