THE HOBOKEN RACES. Jerome Park—Preparations for the Kaces Next Week. ‘The proximity of the Fordham races—affairs of con- siderable éclaé last season—attracts public attention to the condition of the park and race course lately pro- Jected by the founder of the Jockey Club, an organiza- tion which now numbers about one thousand members. For the present season various new features have been engrafted upon the grounds owned by the club, most of them suggested by the more extended wants of a large membership and a desire to cater successfully to the taste and convenience of the public, At the main car- riage entrance a couple of elaborate gates of iron work have been substituted for the temporary structares of Jast season ; and than the Moresque crescent which marks ‘the principal carriage road for public entrance, nothing more delicately in keeping with the purpose to which the grounds have been dedicated can be conceived.

At the right of the old club house, and perhaps five Tods distant from it, the new club house is verging upon the point of completion, and. is expected to be finished before Wednesday of next wesk, The structure con- sists of a ballroom one hundred feet in length by fifty foot in width, and a clad house proper sixty feet long by. about forty feet in width, The ballroom will be used during race days.as a restaurant, being constructed with a view to the easy erection.of temporary tables and other accommodations, The club house propor, now completed withoat, is a neat, light, villa-like, Italian building, of the same order as the ballroom, with just a tinge of Elizabethan in ensemble, and Consists of two stories, of which the first s occupied by parlors, reception rooms and butler’s pantry, with adjoining dintng room.

THE LABOR QUESTION. The Staviemen’s Strike—The Kallread Com- panies Firm—Violence Reserted by « Strikers—Personal Rencontres and Several Parties Injured, &e. The strike which was inaugurated om Saturday last by the stablemen employed by the Third, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Avenue Railroads, is still firmly maintained by the men themselves, and as firmly opposed by the Companies, The strikers have organized temporarily 4nto an association, having their headquarters at Nine- (eenth Ward Hall, in Fifty-third street, The companies are firm in their determination not to pay the advance of 25 cents demanded, and in earnest of their final deter- ‘mination, have engaged green bands to fill the places of theirslate employés, at the old rate of remuneration, $1 75 per day. Hundreds of laboring men learning of the strike in progress, have offered to take places as stablomen at this dally compensation, and many bave of- ferred their services at $1.50 per day. There are many emigrants now lying id'e at Casile Garden who would be willing to work for a moiety of this sum for the sake of iting employment of whatever kind, 80 the proba- ilities are not much in favor of the ultimate success of this foolish strike, The strikers themselves begin to ‘see alréady—that is, tho wisest of them-that their case is next to hopelees, tiany have gone off from the striking party and found work elsewhere at the same pay as they were Fooalving before the strike. Tho majority, however, ‘still hold out blindly and stabborniy agalost stern fects and. tho arguments of unmistakably ill fortuve. They ‘claim that the companies will soon be to take them back at the advanced rate of pay bi se of the \ncompetency of the present green hands; and more- over that the newly employed stablomen will not remain be Sn such employ at such sinall wages as the meanness of the companies has reduced them to. Last Monday was the regular pay day.at the oflicesof tho railroad compa- al s but only a few of the strikers obtained the back pay ys imme suffering seemed ee and no little Uneasiatna) jon. was created among the improvident ones in consequence of this state of affairs, A meeting was and beld yesterday at the headquar- ters ry the strikers, in order to consider what steps should “be taken to rémedy ‘the difiiculty if pos- sible, Many violent wero made by those who had just begun to feel the pinehing hand ‘of want; but the difficalty was only got- ten over tor the time by those, poesessing bank secounts coming forward and pledging themselves and their Money tothe Inst doliar in Bupport of the movement and of the needy ones in their ranks, This substantial sympathy set affairs to rights once more and the legiti- mate course of the strike continued, The men who bave taken the vacant places in the stables have had cause to tear all along that violence would be employed by the strikers, in order either to prevent thelr working, or failing in this design, to satis- arevengefulepirit. On the beginning of the strike, th erofore, thé authorities, anticipating the usual dis- turbances ja such ded ai heavy details les where the strikes of policemen the ‘were in progress, The strikers mustered in force during the first day or two, and paraded about in the vicinity of the stables, making, deflant demonstra- tous, and evidently bent on mischief, but the revelation of the fact that the police were present in sirong force at each of the threatened points and ready for any diffi- — that m congo Sento their penis and preserv peace, Not to act the fhoe of the law parties from the ‘main body of the strikers have singled out special ones from new ‘stablemen employed in their places, marking them for Wengeance wherever the opportunity most hkely to assure the strikers in immunity from punishment might arrive, ‘Accordingly several nights since the dwelling of @ man one of the qcet i i iid | i A f : it Hts | Fhe Strike of the Laborers—A Depntation Visit Those at Werk—Gencrovs Offor from the Unfone~Attempt to lntimi@ate the Men— Collision With the Police. ‘esterday morning, about two hundred members of the Laborer’s Benevolent Association, who are still ona laborers, whe are working for two shillings Jess than the to quit werk.
