THE FORDHAM RACES Culmination of the Autumn Meetings. Pencilings, Comments, Facts and Figures. THE RACING YESTERDAY. Bed Dick, Number Three, Local and Morrissey the Winning Horses. “*Drat that boy!’ screamed Mrs. Gradgrind oe. casion, speaking of some kind of erraticism which had just been enacted by a young offshoot of the Gradgrind stock, ‘‘Drat that boy, he’s always doin’ somethin’ wot he oughtn’t to.” The orthography may or may mot be correct according to the Gradgrind authority; ‘but, correct or otherwise, there were multitudes of people at Jergmo Park yesterday wiiose faces, dotted Bere and there with great beads of perspiration, said, in almost as plain English as words could ave said it, ““Drat the weather,” The weather kept on being warm, however, and, like the hounds of John of Nivelles which, the:more they were called the more they refused to come, refused to be dratted into submission: in other words, the weatwer was warm, empbatically warm for the season—though lager at twenty centga glass was cool enough, both in point of price and in point of temperatare. The October sunshine weemed to drip down in absolute sheets of heat. It dripped down on black carriage tops, and the carriage tops glistened and shone like mirrors; it dripped down op the roof of the Colosseum, and the very atmosphere beneath became hot and stifling; it dripped down on the buff coats and gold buttons of liveried foot- men, and the buttons became ai Mie, and the owners ‘thereof threw open their heavy coats and gasped and wasped for a mouthful of unrarefied air; it dripped down on the tiaras of pearls and diamonds that encir- eled masses of bair golden ag itseif, and every diamond ‘became a sun and shot forth long, red spears of sciatii- Jant lustre; in a word, the sunshine of the Iudian sum- mer dripped down on all the park and on all the people therein assembled and on all the trees the park sur- rounding—every separate leaf of which seemed to flutter and gasp in the breezeless atmosphere, a bird of ecariet and gold about to take wings, but never taking them. As hereiofore intimated, ‘there was lager down under the scenes which was cool; but to Duy coolness at twenty cents a glass, which in New York costs only one fourth of that amount, was only an aggravation. There was, too, plenty of foam- tapped amber at the club bouse, and plenty of ice with which to refrigerate it, and in the gathered teardrops of the Heliades--see ancient fable--it was beyond the means ef the general spectator to invest, Wherefore the gen- eral spectator was constrained to be content with an oceasional mug of lager and the peor privilege of drat- ting the weather: But the weather, which was sultry as early September, and sultrier than was early Septem- ber in the year 1867, was not the only thing on the ground that merited a thorough dratting; nemher was the October sunshine which dripped down in sweat, inducing sheets on the heads of spectators, who walked to and fro and up and down, ‘Tike Satan in the Book of Job; neither was the dispenser of lager and cold tongues and sponge cake—though prices, in both drinkables and edibles, ran remarkably high. Volumes of dust rolled up with ioe whirring of every carriage wheel, remind- img the spectator that, as man was but dust, so dust should be his diet—roiled up and envéloped the broad avenue to the main entrance with a heated sirocco— rolled wp and drifted in dense volames of atéms in the direction of the Colosseum, and over pedestrians, eques- trians and people en voiture. It sifted like pepper upon jhats and coats; it sifted into one’s hair, and could only be shampooed out; It sifted into one’s throat in hot and husky atoms, and could only be washed out, either with Jager or with whiskey or with that which rkles and Diushes in glass, And thus, though the weather ‘was dratted a great dea!, the dust was dratted a deal more—bdeing the most uncomfortable element of the the roads -wome other reason to perform bis duty ; and the broad avenue from the upper end of the Park 10 the narrow entrance of tho Fi im read was simply one high and forever shifting wall of dust in which peo- ple and carriages moved to and (ro, and were therein be- dried as to the throat and stifled. Could one bave been lifted up, say in one of Professor Lowe's balloons, so a3 to obtain a bird’s eye view of gh tegen the tm- pression must have been curious, yw, with @ sort Of Mizsissippi-like widding, would have been visible a ‘vast river with wave: of drifting atoms—a river five miles in length or thereabouts—and it would have tuon of the procession would have seemed to be snail- like in its pace) a long, black and jointed thread of vehicles, having ali the seeming of spinal column to the trailing serpent of dust, of which it would geemed to form the centre. Human ants one might have fancied them, creeping about in a vast antnill, or, again, human Packs in carriages of acorns whirled by fairy coursers through an atmosphere of leadea color. To put the matter in a nutshell, along the road yester- was dust, dust everywhere, like the water in idge’s poem; though in the poem it was one of the misfortunes of the grizzied mariner that there was never a drop to drink, and, on the route to Fordham it was ‘ene of the good fortunes of the ofa sion that tuero were plenty of drops to drinl jenty ppers in at every barroom to drink them Dust dries up the hhomors of the throat, and there is n0 way so con- venient to obviate the difficulty thereby created as to Jabricate, One may cough, one’s throat may fall inte spasms for dryness; there Ig no relief thereior like copious lubrication, Therefore the public lubricated freely and frequently trom Central Park to Ford- bam, and proprietors of email botels with all sorte of high‘sounding mames grew sicek and good-natured, ruobed their bands and asked with commendabie ob- sequiousness what the public would take, Once withia, it was impossible to resist the gentle manners of the Boniface, Father Mathew could bardly have done it; and, if Father ow would have been tempted, it is no especial wonder that those who were never disciples of the saint yielded. Their throats were dry and throtted with dust; voices were hoarse and husky and came up from the longs ip miermittent baswo; and there was no remedy excep: the remedy which 1s suld every- where ai fifteen cents a giass—liquified corp, or malt, or rye. So the public imbibed, and the throats of the pavlic were benefited by tue imbibuion, the pockets of the jand ords being benefited in like manner, ‘The white steepic which stands sentinel over the Fordbam iano was sighted at last, however, and Sfteen minutes thereat: the pubic thronged ibe club Louse, thronged the grounds, thronged the baiconies of the main stand and the 88 plot in front thereof, ee here, from salon ¢ manger to I-stand. jowwithstanding the fact that the first race was to be a burdie race, and the further fact that hurdle raci ad, by the "a yh vokey oD bag become imbur with @ sort of gloomy prestige, stil! the public kept not aloof on that account; We nestor or wbec on day; tor be it remombered that Martin Cassidy wi only a jockey, and in the opinion of sporting mena mething less than a horse. “Only a jockey — bis ik disiocated,'’ wag the phrase ‘thas wored romarkagly ‘weil to settia ethice of the matter satisiactorily; only a jockey, and whether the paid pauper was decently buried or ble has never inquired wince the day Horses with pedigrees, though not exactly human, are expensive, and Sockeye. thougt their claims to hamauity be acknowledged, can be bought for a song. Only a jockey will be, perbape, the epitaph of Martin Caserdy ; ‘and only a jockey nd nothing more, the man will sleep aa aweetly underfthe grass as though he had the equal in public opinion of the horse that turow him. No jockey was sent off at @ tangent yesterday, however. Ripley, one of Colonel MeDanie!’s entries for the burdie, was merciful, and kieked over burdie afver hurdle ashe leaped them, leaving a ciear field for bis competitors, and making the second round stmply a piain race, with- out danger to hoof of eteed or neck of jockey, aud that which was moant for a hurdle proved oo hurdle at the end. ut to ¢ie up the broken thread of the narrative Brass ed os usval from the balcony of the clab how Drayed intermittenuy, causing the October atmosphet to thrul, and tremble, and quaver, and shake with heavy gusts of music, and cau@ing the Indies near by to put thoir hands to heir ears for ite blasts of sudden ha nese, It was now @ quarter of one o'clock. The judges had token their places in the gilded pagoda appropriated to their age; the pumbers of tho‘frst hordie had, as if by magic and seeratngly without hand, been bulletined upon the golden-bordered bulietin board; the bugle had breathed a biaet from its rt ‘and the marshal- jng of stceds had begun. A ly rank of Indies members of the club tramped across from the mai Joon to the stand as the bugle sounded, and men and ‘women hurried in crowds to gain the seat which should best command the doubl in of the race track, A moment's leisure only was afforded to the knights of the pencil and note-book for ti ating ‘of impressions and the gathering of facts n migne have been noted a4 (ulerim that bine was « predominant color among the ladios—possibly in the way of compliment of Mr. Sanford's color, or that of Forbes and Jerome, or that of Colonel McDaniel It ac S i 34 HEE eigit* cial ve beem not tess than fi in the vicinity on the great day wheo y tried hoof with Time, and by Time The Sgures for that and the lesser days may be disposed of about as follows:— Number on Tuesday . on From these figures a proximate idea of the vast con- course of the several @ may be gathered, and from them an approximatioa to the amount of many. taken for tickets, ef cefera, May be calculated—though, with- out further statistic’: the pencilier of scenes may wend his way to the main stand, or beneath it, and 4 random impressions for the five minutes yet remaining before the tourney begins. UNDER THE SceNRs, The sun bung like a globe of molten fire track, the buildings and wooded hilis radiating the heat with an iate! that for hours was insu(erable upon the lawn. It mysteriously upon portions of the grand gathoring, radiant as upon the other days of the meoting in thelr elaborate aitires. As a consequence, the excited members of the speculative frategnity, with Many others whose appearance denoted a life of euse and comparative happiness, between the ner | ima spirit of boisterous jollification on the one hand, feelings ditticult of analyzation on the othar, dopending upon the fact of their being successful or unfortunate over the in their veat “bolted” in squads to the saloon, fitted with ail Paraphernalia of a first class hostel- tie, although rougner in design, and leas elaborate in ite fittings, patronizing the half dozen obsoquious attendants to such an extent that the supply of refreshing beverages gave out, and ‘au involuntary abstinence was enforced, It was scene Worthy tobe remembered. Here on one hand, clinging closely to the wooden line of demarkation be.ween the sollers and their patrons, was a coterie of turfites, whose familiar faces had been seen at every prominent racing or trotting contest durmg the season, commenting jm a peculiar vernacul upon the pedigree, appearance and peculiar qualities of the equine contestants of the races, their astute convictions gurgling out as the exhiilarating lager gurgled down, each conclusion fotlowed by @ proposition to wager that thetr especial favorite would be the victorious steed. Be- yond, and quietly indulging a similar weakness, was a gathering equally intent upon speculation and gain, but ol a character that would seldom astract any attention in life, particularly amoung an assembiage of bundreds from all parts of the land. They were of the democratic order, loud, and occasionally offensive in the recital of their observations. But each and all wore apparently blessed with stores of greenbacks, and they lavishly risked them to back up their opinions. Others among them, prominent military men who risked ther lives during the rebellion in defence of their country, commingled with uniformed naval gents at the lunch counter, each catching the ispiration of the passing scenes on the course, addi- tionally attractive by the bewildering clouds of jadies, whose coquettishness of costume was irresistible, and bet freely upon the results of the next race. One individual, who bad drawn heavily upon the resources of the dispensers of beverages, conceived the idea of making a private “‘pool’’ before they again ascended to the stand, and with evident interest, some little excite- ment and amusement among the jovial throng, it was it into execution. “Onward” says one, “Red ick’? shouts another, and with an eagerness unapproachable anywhere in the world, save upon the tarf, invest, and note their speculations, until the muf- fled sound of hoofs, inginieon with the shouts of en- coaragemenht from ladies, old and young, made more enthusiastic and positive by the continuous clamor of thet attendants, called them to the qnarter streich, the atiractive point of interest, the termination of and every equine battle, RIRDSEYE VIEW OF THE STANDS, Although pons Ath of the general scene was the yoy A ‘with the clife, each with a small basket Cora 4 the good things of alternating their scrutiny course and 8 scene of enchantment upon the balconied club se with nibbles of contentment at the pers of and cheese, This with the excited and pool buyers, all impressed with the wisdom of juliar ideas of the speed and endur- ance of the gave the scene a character of starth uty and animation, am assembiaze worthy of tbe ‘and its attendant festivities.

Here was a picture more unique and excited at times than was presented at any other point of the enclosure. ‘The grand crowd, as each struggling racer turned into it at the inception of its sinuous path, rushed precipitately to the lower end that gives such an excellent view of in pa ey capounaes adhe es wi egcouragement, or ulations of surprise, or enunciated reasons of failure for the beaten horses, made it a spot where the uninterested thousands derived more amusement than from any other source. It was a vast congregation of weicome to the returning racers, and there was an unction of de- light to those who bad won, a provoking, savage feol- ing to those who had Jost, and they were many. The races passed, the last decision given, the of beauty dissolved as the crimsoned vapor, pli and high on the western bills, gave the tomime ot nature an illuminated appearance that each and every eye gazed upon with the idolatry of a fervent imagina- tion. rh, je Races. The last day of the regular autumnal meoting of the American Jockey Club at Jerome Park calminated yes- terday in a most brilliant manner. The autumn sports are pot yet over, as there is to be what is calied an extra day, which will be on next Saturday, when we way expect as rare sportasom any of the days of the pre- vious meeting, Yesterday was one of the most beauti- ful racing days that we ever beheld, and no turfite could wish fora better, The announcement that tour races were to be run, and one of them ahurdie race, and that, too, with eight entries, led the public to oxpect a fine day’s amusement, In this they were not disappointed. The hurdie race itself way @scene to behold. Seven horses at once dashing for and over the hurdles with grace, vigor and enerzy, is a scone of itself of 80 exhilarating a character as to excite the admiration of the most obtuse intellect and arovce the most phlegmatic temperament. Many ef the timid, doubtioss fearful of accidents happening, as they will happen at times, do not admire this style of racing, and would have it suppressed if possible; but still, when on the ground, and surrounded by excitement, they become ‘a8 enthusiastic as the most devoted lover of this kind of racing. This race passed off without accident, and Mr. MeDaniel's horse, Red Dick, was the winner, beating Tycoon, General Williams, Zigzag, Secaucus, Zara, and Ripley. As ® most remarkable feature attendant on this race, we may mention that no pools were sold on it, the publi¢ not seeming disposed to buy, for Teasons best known to themselves, and kept their money in their breeches pockets for the nonce to ven- ture on something more within their comprehension and thelr liking. The second race was alton good one, be .

It was evident that there was a “screw somewhere,” and he did not seil any of the horses entered, The outsiders, however, were busy, and 7: and General Williams were the favorites against the field, with a large amount of money one against the other of these two, Red ick, Tycoon, Ripley and secaucus were not much in favor; butan occasional offer at long shots found favor on each of them. The horses on being paraded in froat of the @rand stand seemed to bave an enchanting effect on the multitude, as ail ap) absorbed and euchained with the beauty of the scene, The horses pranced about, some being t pto the hurdles to vee the business before them, while others took a galiop aloug the stretch to elicit the adwiration of the LALOrs. At Jengih they all settled to business and went up for the race, Zigzag leading, General Williams second, Ty- coon third, Red Dick fourth, Zara fifth, Secaucus sixth, and Ripley seventh, shay, all cleared the first burdie with the exception of Ripley, who knocked it down, aud away they went flying to the next one, which was in front of the biuf! under the club house, Coming to and taking this hurdle, Zigzag and General Wilhams went into the air together and over it beautifully, fol- lowed closely by ‘tveoon, who is one of the best jumpers that ever appeared; then Red Dick, who gave the top rail a rap; then Secaucus, who went over flying, followed by Zara without a touch; but next came the levelicr Ripley, who knocked the rails into “smithereens,” and ton his way rejoicing. Getting on the lower turn, jeneral Williams ran to the front, and meeting the third hurdie took it prettily, closely followed by Zizzag, Tycoon, Red Pick, Secaucus, Zara and Ripley, who ripped things agaim. A little tussle between Zigzag and Wiliams, aud the former led to the hurdie on the homestretch, and took it in his usual dashing style, fol- lowed clegautly by ail the otners, ‘The enthusiasm of the crowd on the stand as the horses came up past them, all having made their jamp without “spilling’’ their riders; elicited storm of applause. As the horses passed the stand for the next jump they found the hurdle down, thanks to Ripley, and then all danger of au accident was ai an end, Going around the turn, Tycoon ran to the front, but soon afterward Red Dick cut joose, and 1 was not long before he ied the van, knocking every obstacle to pieces that came betore him, The others changed places as their botioms fell out, but Red Dick went on with the lead in spite of ali their efforts, As be led up the homestretch to the last hurdle he gave it a slap witt his heels which knocked it over and made a free passage for the remainder of them to race home for places. Dick won by three lengths, ‘Tycoon second, one length abead of General Williams, who was four lengths in ‘ront of Zigzag, three lengths dividing him trom Secaucus, who was €wo lengths in advance of Zara, who beat Ripley one length. ‘Time, 355%.

MRS. LINCOLN. Her Treatment by the Republican Party in the White House and Out of It—Acitin the Defeasive=She Threatens to Tell Taics— A Subscription fur Her Rel Not the least among the difficulties which surround the radical party ie the attitude assumed by Mrs, Lin- coln, in view of the il] treatment she has received at their hands, Popular jadgment and party feeling find frequently curious expression and appear in many dif- fereot phases, but the party which can afford to let the widow of their martyred chief appear as an alms seeker, appealing, with indignant protest, from their neglect of and indifference to ner necessities, to the great sym- pathetic heart of the nation, must neods have a strong hoid pon the popular feeling not to sustain material damage therefrom. For some reason as yet unex- plained, but whieh will probably he learned at some future day, Mre. Lincoln has always been honored with the epecial dislike of the party who made up her hus band’s constituents. Whether it was that her clear good sense and sound judgment uiterposed a stumbling block to the accomplishment of some of their favorite schemes which required Presidential co-operation—possivly accorded but for her opposition—or the consciousness that she instinctively knew their purposes, the entire radical press of the country have heen wosparing in their abuso of her since her entrce in the rile of the mie- tress of the White House, Ts was charged against ber that che was a secessionist or of rebel procivities, and the circumstance of # relative ot bers nolding a tion the Conted- erate service was repeated from one end of the coun- ‘try to the other a# proof positive of disunion sympath: on her part, This einnder was, however, but shoriived, the daily lite of the woman supplying suct refutation as could not be ignored, She was next abused for want ot taste, either thatehe dreesed badly or extravagantly or showily. Her manuer and deportment were caricatured in the vilest maoner, and the homely, wifely qualities which should have earned the holiest respect were made the enbject of jest and abuse. Every effort was made to weaken her influence with ber husband, but the pure hoart of Honest Old Abe was too surely conscious of ber worth to be at all affected’ by tho calumnies atiered ainst her, and the ‘little woman "’ enjoyed his con- fidence and affestion up to the very hour of his sad end. When the nation put on its garb of woe for bis sudden taking off, and with bowed head and mournful mein followed to its final resting place the ashes of the mar- tyr, slander mt rebuked and ceased to give utterance to its malice, 80 soon, howe as the first shock of awe a grief bad passed away, the bitterness of ill feeling songht new opportunities for expression. A proposition m discharge of the nation’s sacred trust, tho pecuniary welfare o: the widow and children so unexpectedly Coren od, was defeated ina spirit of simple animosity to tae object of this intended donation; and, not satisfied with thie, when the stricken woman, weighed down by t#o weight of grief, retired from tbe Presidential mansion to seek retirement, it was idly asserted by her enemies that she had been robbing it of its furniture. Mrs. Lincotn has waited some ti for justice to be done her, not alone yaw, but to learn that sho was to be forever the object of the worst persecution. Haying, iu the new iife she entered upon, no need for Many of the costly dresses and much of the jewelry which the duty of receiving and presiding in a be- coming manner over the White House rendered neces. sary during her sojourn there, it was but natural that she should seek to dispose of them to the best — advantage; but this simple act of private judgment permitted to any woman, bas become the occasion mlsrepresentation and abuse to such an extent as tw di the country forever eyes of pe. it har likewise, ated to Mra incon who friends, and ey how insignificant was the faction which assailed in comparison with the American public.
