Pee — The second day of the first annual mecting of the “American Jockey-Club at Jerome Park, Fordham, took ‘ Place yesterday. Postponed from Thuraday last, it seemed yesterday morning as though the club had ecarcely done a wise thing in deferring too much to the weather; for the wind was from the northeast, and the clouds looked ominous. Later in the day, and towards the hour at which the excursionists from the city pro- posed to start, the horizon grow brighter, and sporting ‘men looked confidently forward to a brilliant meeting. It would be unfair to expect that Fordham should vie in Drilliancy or importance with Epsom or Longchamps from a sporting standpoint, for racing in America ds still in its teens; but in the matter of fashion- ‘Pblo ‘Attendance our young Jockey Club may com- Pare not unfavorably even with that presided over by the pachydermatous Admiral Rous. The first gathering of the American Cub has been extremely auspicious Up ‘to the present, sud the best results, both as regards the breeding and keepivg of horses and the elevation of horse-racing into a scientific and national sport, may confidently be expected to accrue from ss establish- mont. GOING TO THE RACRA—THE LOAD, THE RAIL AND THE RIVER, . People setting off for a race-course pretty generally te- gard those who are obliged to stay at home with the game foeling of lofty compassion with which David Cop- perfisld deigned to consider the shopman when he was going to be married. In boisterous cockneydom this feeling finds expression in “chaff,” which is distributed rwith rigid impartiality between the nobs and the suobs, in the throwing of flour into the eyes of pedestrians, in the wearing of wooden dolls in the hatband, and in various other absurdities which, on any other but a race day, would be considered ‘suffiefent ground for an incontinent commission dz luna- fico. But our people have not yet reached this sublime height of enjoyment, and the going to the races at Ford- ham was ar rather tame by comparison. Still, there ts mont.

Sporting pantaloous (i. ¢, pantaioons that are very tin some places and very Joose in others, like those of traditional sailor), were ‘also de rigueur, and dog-skin gloves, colored scarfa, and feeots showing a graceful compromise between strength ‘and elegance were universal. There were very few equestrians, but hundreds of teams and sportiug wagons, the pride of the surrounding villages, which were driven at true apo! with the view of inspiring terror to the bearts By water the chief Visitors to the race course were famities, which P pine rete au 3 and yeres “a a erin je cont oa Fund a lat “bottle. “Sports, ana rule, di boats, and made for the steara cars at Twenty-sixth and » Forty-second streets, In these they smoked till literally. y all was biue, and betted on the races of the day with @ ” — calmness beautiful to behold.

So is big¢emon vow, for the Doctor's voice is nearly “played out,” and would be almighty weak were it not for the reviving influence of the fruit. Yes- terday the exerted himself to almost a painful degree, but the pool selling was exciting in the extreme. Round the restrum an excited crowd com and chaff flew about between the seller and the buyers of pools with extreme rapidity and good humor.’ It was wing to notice the different styles of these about the course. One poor fellow irresistibly reminded the observer of the very thin man whose are termed “pipe stems.”’ His body Indicrously o¥ eighted his py and the expression of his face was apparently one fear lest at any minute they should give way under him. Alas! he was a victim to the mode. An interested spectator of the sale of pools and of all connected with the races was Admiral Farragut, who arrived early in the day, accompanied for some time by Mr. Jerome, Mr. Belmont, Mr. Hosea B. Perkins and others. The Admiral skipped about from the stand to the judges’ through the qnarterstretch and over to the ladies’ stand with the litheness of a man of twenty, Handshaking and introducing he evidently considered a bore, and it was agreeable to see that he was left alone by the people to enjoy himself in his own way. ‘THE CROWDS ROUND THE TRAOK. Although the attendance in the grand stand was not 0 beg! sa on the first day of the meeting, it was appa- rent ¢l many thousands enjoved a view of the whole race who did not pay for that privilege. On every bil- lock round the stand crowds of people were congre ated, picnicing in carriages or on the turf, gayly!passing bottles of bibulous refroshment and expatiating in very interested terms upon the result of the varions races. Many of these people came miles to see the race, and this is another evidence of the growing popularity of the meeting. DODWORTH’S BAND was again on the course and delighted the ladies by some of the choicest morceauz from the operas and the com- positions of celebrated com The ladies especially admire the beautiful Mabel and Guards waltzes, and are strongly of opinion that Mr. Godfrey, their composer ' mast be “a duck” and “a di " “The engagement of the band is one of the happiest thoughts of the ste!

Her performance of Queen Elizabeth last evening as far surpassed her previous of- forts as those were superior to the impersonatioas of all other actors. Queen Elizabeth, io her dabit as she lived, and with all the varying moods and passions that made up her complex character, stepped from the page of history and trod tho stage of the French theatre last night. Never since the days of the elder Kean, has this city witnessed such wonderful acting. Ristori haa accomplished the most difficult of all feats—she has excelled herself. The play of Elizabeth, by Signor Paolo Giacomotti, Written especially for Madame Ristori, hes no plot. It is literally a sories of dramatic pictures designed to illus- trate some of the | oss prominent events in the life of anced to the C of Elia ) AD , , Kggtg, Drake and Bacon appear before ux. The second act includes the execution of Mary Queen of Scots, and the sudden ap © tion of her son, King James, who comes to claim mother's release and is met with the announcement of her death, In the third act we see the fér whieh celebrates the destruc tion of the Spanish armada, Howard and Drake receive their rewards trom the Queen's own hand, and Easex, maddened by Elizabeth's rebukes, bursts into an ecstacy of rage, and is condemned to the tower, The fourth act is occupied with the struggle between Eiicabeth’s love and pride, She wishes herself disobeyed, and impationtly awaits the arrival of the ring which she bas given Essex, and the sending of which will secure his pardon. Lady Howard arrives, having been robbed of the token; but she comes too late, and the signal gun announces Fekex's doatt, Tho fifth act pictures to us the death of the Queen, and the appointmont of James us ner suc cosaor The audience last evening Was most brilliant, So fashionable an assomblage bas not been seen im the French Theatre since the night of Ristori’s d/bu’. The house was crowded, and the tollettes of the ladies were magnificent. Many fastionables, who appeared in the private on the night of the début, wore acattered throughout the parquet lest evening, and the cheaper iu the upper circles ‘were cecupied by fieet class persous who had been pre vented from securing more conspicuous positions, The applauso was most enthusiastic, and yot discrimi nating and appreciative. The actors felt the tn seats spiriting influence of their cordial receptions aud of the critica! approbation, and performed with than their customary core = and ‘e speaking witiin bounds when we say tbat 40 perfect @ representation ot an bistorical play bas m before beep given in this metropolix, The intervals of tine between the acte were distinctly marked, not oniy in the costumes, but én the appearance and deportment of tho characters. You could see Elicabeth, Burleigh, Howard, Drake, Davieou and the rest gradually growing old. The coctames themselves were historically correct, and were changed with every scene, The etiquett the court was rigidly observed, The scenery war in almost every respect satisfactory. We bave atill to complain, Lowever, of that nolee behind the curtain be- tween the acts, which if so inadmissible ia am American theatre. Before referring particularly to Ristori'* marvellous impersonation tbe otber actors must receive a passing notice. Compared with performers of similar rank in this country they were superb. We beg our actors and actromes to goto the French Theatre and study the manners of these ladiee and gentlemen. Their strict attention to the progress of the scene, their constant incessant! — by-play and the style they express natural emotions by their featores as well as by their words, must be seen to be comprehended. Signora Cottin as the unbappy Lady Howard, Signore Casati as Lady Bor leigh, avd Bignors Giammartin! as Maria Lambrun, were wat. Signor Mlech surprised us by the fire and the courtlioess of bos rendering of the character'of the Karl of Kisses. His Jason snd Letcaster bad not prepared un for x0 admirable a performance, which in the third act Pore altmort to an equality wiih that of Ristor! herself. Signor! Carboni a4 King James, Cesare Ristori ae Lord Burt igh, Mancini a Lord Howard, Achille Cottin at Races, Borgh! as Davison, and Buti as Sir Francie Drake ‘were ulso remarkably fine, The majority o! ‘hee gantie rarn deserve pertioular credit forthe ski!! with whieh they conveyed we idea of old age in the Inet act, without im the least degree loxine ther previously marked individuality. We havenever before beheld such artistic completeness upon our wtage. Usually the star becomes old and the rest of the actors and aotresres retain the same appearance bu\ last even ing, ax in real life, the actors changed pot only their dremes Wat thelr looks with the changing cir-utustanees of the play, and Elizabeth, in her dotwe was surrounded by courtiers equally bent with the weigh! of yearn When we refert upon Ristort's impersonatiyn we seem to bave seen the veritable virgin Queen o England. Kvery costume, and every headdrew, war Listorically accurate, Sacrificing her perrona! beauty to Cramatic effect, Ristori became a blonde, with the auburn heir of which Elizabeth was so proud. Recoming or mot, she wore (be dromen and the ornementa that the Queen hed worg, snd presented o# with @ perfect fac simile of the Court fermions of ) at period. The peculiar pearions of Blizabeth were no im closely imitated than her covtumes Rietori never allowed either actors or audience to forget that he was the sovereign of Fogiand. In every inetumce she execiod from the persone upon the age the respect due her rank, and when fepeat- etly called before the curtain ot the Clow of each scone sie mood like a queen reeeving the homage of Ler subjecta.
