Seeond Day of the Fall Meeting of the American Jockey Club. FOUR EXCITING RACES. no 3. A. Connolly Wins the Steward’s Cup, Tubal the Selling Bace, J. McConnell the Mile Heats and Maid ot Honor the Members’ Cup. SCBNES AND INGIDENTS. Doll, damp and foggy, the second day of the fall meeting was ushered in under circumstances that held out but faint hopes forits success. Threatening clouds rolled overhead in huge masses, hiding every meh of the beautifal blue canopy which stretched far ‘and wide on the day preceding, and rainfall was momentarily anticipated. But blessed are they who expect nothing, for they shall not be disappointed. "There was no shower, nor yet any sunshine. It wan one of those days that make men miserable, divest Deauty of its charms, rob excitement of its plea- gure and, frowning upon sport itself, steal from it the enjoyment that it presents, The face of nature Dore a gloomy aspect and’ grinned savagely at any attempt of outward display. All the world knows that @ race is nothing without its concomitants, for sans the rattling drive to the course, the humors of the road, the merry faces radiant with prospective pleasure, the bril- Maat equipages, the lumbering, dusty carriage, the gay and prancing horses, the trudging colt, the breakdowns and the many incidents that complete ‘the card of any meeting, there appears ‘to be ,some- thing lacking even though the event iteelf be @ bril- Mant display of speed. With few exceptions the Toad yesterday was not graced as was wont. The ‘0d stereotyped tale of fun and pleasure cannot be Fecapitulated. There was no excitement, ecarcely any rivalry, and the number of vehicles was exceed- ingly small and inferlor in quality, The de- mure, sober and misanthropical-looking visages of many drivers was a noticeable feature, nor were the ©ccupants of conveyances less strenuous in their endeavors to preserve a sad and melancholy mien. Of hilarity there was none, and the whole cavalcade moved hurriedly as 1f anxious to get the last glimpse of a dying friend. But the delicious drive was the game asever. Tho green grass refreshed the vision, the rich foliage of the Park looked beautiful in its tran- nition shades; the splendid road resounded with noise of many hoofs; carriages, buggies and other vehicles Fattled quickly over the ground, and, altogether, the Beene, if not lively, was yet pleasing and pic- turesque. Away they sped in excellent style, how rushing along at a rapid rate, then whirling around the handsome turns, and again flying away with wings of tion, leaving the busy hum of com- Merce far behind. Harlem lane was not greeted ‘with a thousand welcomes, for without much appar- ent necessity the water carts had been dispensing freely, so that in some spots where they had been over generous the result was huge patches of mud, which, asif participating in the festivities of the day, jum} ik See eet he ty temas, ie po oe wi — @riving rather smartly and co! juently obtaining a pee supply, groaned as with spotted gar- ta they approached THE COURSE. It did not rain, as before observed, yet the pros- pect of its so doing was detrimental, for the ve anticl; mn of a shower, and at times it seemed inty, was sufficient té deter half as many more pes present yesterday, Beyond question the lancholy feeling of the road must have been con- ous, for the course looked no more like what the of the American Jockey Club ought to day to night, and the com} i is justifia- It is almost one o'clock, but the dead and alive spect of the place looks like a mement, Yet that cannot be, for there is the beside the club house discoursing the most delightful music; there is course clear, which betokens sport; there are eq, the eo; = fanee 1” thee” Paine uF EBS ‘BER 4 5 is earnestly winking Dot deficient at the upper on r-stretch taking charge of the poolselling. But where are the pie, the brilliant assemi » the fashionable rong, the handsome toilets, the charming smiles, the crowds of good and unpretentious citizens of the city, but too willing to Rey, down any sum for pica- sure; those whosupport the theatres, as they do liber- very other commendable institution for recre- ive purposes—where are they? The echo answers distinctly that they are min their business at home. Again, where are the buzz, the rush, the groups of eager men, the long closely packed rows of merry faces, chatting In harmony an Kha cnf discussing the coming events, the rapidly accumulating crowds, the fresh arrivais and the general hum of preparation? To be sure the day was mauspicious-looking, and that fact is sufficient in itself to account for meagre attendance. Yet it was not such a as to wholly restrain several thousands from being present, and there may be other reasons for guch a dearth of visitors best known to the absen- tees themselves. Be that as it may, the number of gpectators yeaterday was very limited, though It @oubied that of une preceding day. Towards even- {ng there was an increase of visitors, but they came tao late to give the course that appearance which 1s sor, hy us ® brilliant tue treble its number ated there. Carri rolled up the gravel walks, and on each arrival a waiters ‘popped out their heads, as if hunger imal n excellent band was stationed to the right of the club house and played some enchant- selections throughout the day. Indeed, had it not been for the excellent music thesows of seats in front of the piazza would probably have been more thinned, for although the ip t was all that could be desired the air was cool and the position isolated. ‘Most of the occupants of the gry preferring to obtain a more complete view of the proceedings, de- scended the steps, down which many passed and ‘went over to THE MAIN STAND, The lower tier presented a picturesque appearance, for although it was not by any means crowded there ‘was, nevertheless, a fashionable assemblage. The toliets of the ladies were superb, and nothing was Wanting but an increase in number to have made it complete in ail its grandeur and beauty. In antici- pation of a cool afternoon most of the ladies were atured in warm yet rich and handsome jackets. The three front rows were well filied, but owing to the continued duiness of the weather the upraising of parasols was found unnecessary, thereby depriv- ing the admirers of coior of a rich treat. Prior to the opening event the up Uer was almost de- sel Altogether the main stand did not exhibit that imposing appearance which, had it been fully occupied, it would undoubtedly have done. The other stands to the right, left and overhead were by @ migratory popuiation, now seated and then again scatterea over the course, The same restlessness was displayed throughout the entire day. Every man moved about with his card of admission dangling from his button hole like an eyeglass. In the middie of a race rows of faces looked eager from beneath the awnings; but the contest over, nothing but @ vacant space remained, Somehow there was no enthusiasm. None by out- manifestations seemed to enter heartily into spirit of the proceedings, or if they did at all ir feelings were mainly confined to the limits of their pocketbooks, There was none of that wild excitement characteristic of the Derby; none of that life animation attendant upon such meetings. ppl @ was faint indeed, and the ap- it. probation of the assemblage was confined - eens ed to favor: SCENES ON THE QUARTER-STRETCH. This was the great Rialto of the course, Here it ‘was that anything like animation prevailed, but even here it was not characterized by extraordl- nary symptoms of activity. The crowd on the quar- ter-strete Was the crowd from the stands; the same individuals exactly, each es Te if he had lost ry for, as if in consonance with the heavy clouds, the dull day a Ay dy MS a restlessn same lesan - ited on the stands, prevailed. seeriod mething seems ‘wanting, @ desire to move about, yet swin to at contentedly, so that between the two people nel- ther moved nor sat. Packed in the upper end corner of the quarter-stretch were the men Who Bhowed the bilis, shaking them in the air and offering all sorte of tempting bets. The poolseller was Joud in his harangue, demonstrative and argumensative, his rostrum swarmed the tical betti men. How eager they seemed, yet cool and indir ferent. \In the very middle of a contest they watved their greenbacks, and even where their fa’ ry to stand but little chance they continued to hold out with determination, The betting men were @ picture, sure enough—that is, the meu who make beiting a practical business, for everybody bet a trifie to make it (nteresting.” undies of dollars were to be seen tn all wirections, now in this hand loosely, then in that hand very Ught.

Viewed from the piazza of the cirb honse the scene was pretty in the extreme, Tie space allotted to the vehicles on each side of the stand was well ed, and during the entire day the time passed merrily, Each Cg and other conveyance had its tender freight, who looked admiringly on the scenes within. Gvod things were in abundance in all directions, —_ Cor! popped with a racing freak and those outside scemed to enjoy themselves, though their view of the course was in some places very limited, and altogether a regular carnival was observed. ‘The conveyances, compara- tively small in number, were not remarkable for their excellent appearance, There were but two four-in- hand turnouts on the course—one owned by Mr. J. B. Fellows, with a splendid team which did wonders on the.road, and the other by Mr. Cranston, New York Hotel, having a black and a bay at the wheels and two grays leading. The other equipages were of the ordinary character and elicited but few com- mendatory observations, THE RETURN. A beantiful evening brought the several events to 9 Close, and in twenty minutes after the last race had been determ course was completely (e- ‘med serted.

Four ofthem came off successfully, but the third did not take place at all. It was 8 match bo- tween Mr. Belmont’s ch. c, Fenian and Mr. Came ron’s imported br. f. by Old Calabar, both two year olds. The match was for $500, a dash of three- quarters of a mile. The race was declined by Mr. Cameron, and he accordingly paid forfeit to Mr. Belmont, The track was in fine condition, and the racing very good throughout, especially in the race for the Stewards’ Cup and the mile heat race, The character of the horses In the first race was such as to excite a great deal of speculation and conjecture a8 to the result, as they were well known to be rac- ing nags of the first water. They had all been win- ners at one time or another, and were looked upon favorably by their many friends, who backed them heavily according to their individual opinion of their merits. General Duke was the favorite at the course, although he had not been 80 in the poolsell- ing of the previous evening. James A. Uonnolly ‘would, probably, have been the favorite at the start had not the impression got abroad that he was some- what off and would not ran with his usual energy and fleetness. Nemesis, even, sold higher than he did, although she had never been tried in so loug @ race, The sequel, however, proved that James A. Connolly was not so much off as the public had been Jed to believe, for he won the race most gallantly, although the Duke led him fally two miles.

McConnell, having no reputation, was retained. His runaing yesterday, however, proved him to be a horse of uncommon racing ability, and probably quite equal, if not superior, to his fellows. The last race of the day and one of the features of the meet- ing was what ts called the gentlemen's race—that is, a race between gentlemen's Petr a ad ridden by members of the American Jockey Club. For this race there were seven entries, six of which started. The gentlemen were attired in gaudy jocky costumes, and when mounted and while their horsey were prancing up and down the quarter-stretca, in front of the stand, were objects of at attraction to the fair sex and elicited their most intense admira- tion. Their riding was indeed good, most excellent for a jockeys, and the race was a very en- joyable and creditable affair throughout.

The arrival of the steamer City of Port au Prince from Port au Prince has put us in possession of Hay- ten advices to the 26th of September. The Moniteur of that date contains an order of the day by President Salnave giving an account of the destruction of the rebel steamers Sylvain and iiberté by the Haytien war steamer Pétion (lately the Galatea), and the capture of the town of Petit Goave, before which the action took place. The Pétion arrived at Port au Prince from New York on the 19th of September and on the morning of the 20th she left for Petit Goave with President Salnave on board, to attack the Sylvain and the Liberté lying there, that place being forty- eight miles distant from Port au Prince. In a few hours she reached Petit Goave, totally unexpected by the rebeis, who had not even heard of her arrival at Port au Prince, and at once opened fire upon the enemy.

The large attendance and spirited bidding at the sale of pools by Dr. Underwood last night at No. 1,100 Broadway indicated the increased interest in the fall meeting at Jerome Park, naturally resulting from the success attending the first and second days’ sport. This interest is evidently growing greatly among all whose leisure or other opportunities per- mit them any turf knowledge, and the succeeding days are likely to be much more brilliant, in a popu- lar sense, than those of any previous meeting. The peculiar talents of the cheery voiced auctioneer were kept in full play last evening in making up and Gigpostag of pools, and some very high figures were offered by confident ones in support of their judgment upon tl a results ot to-day's racing. e bids sho’ some diversity of views in this regard, Vauxhall a tae entry and Viley and Australia and the Jerome’ Park éntry running wr close for the first and third race’ respectively, the first mentioned being, kow- ever, the favorites throughout.

On my assuming the oMce of Assistant Treasurer in July, 1865, the following temporary obligations of the government were outstanding, viz. ‘Temporary loan, Certificates of 1 $98,016,845 108, 706,000 39,954,230 One and two year notes. 954, Compound interest notes. 212,121,470 Seven-thirty notes...... 000, Of these obligations, a considerable amount was Payable on demand, and none extended beyond three years from their date of issue, Much solicitude was felt on the subjee t, many predictions of pecunl- ary disaster were ut’ ered, much of gratuitous advice and not a@ little of; abuse was showered upon the ofticers of the Ty sasury, Yet within the time re- quired this enor pous amount of impending obliga- tion has been al most entirely liquidated or changed into long loans, go that there remain now to be pro- vided for:— Compound inf erest note: Certificates a’ ; three per Matured deb ¢ not presented TOM es) isscecccereeneeses cesses sues + 1682022113 All this” payment, purchase and exchange, invo1v- Ing ince# sant labor, vigilance and responsibility, has been cay ried through with scarcely the elightest dis- turbing ;inguence on the monetary or business inte- rest o ¢the country, While claiming no particular Praig 9 for these results, accomplished under trying clro’ imstances incident to the deranged state of the CUF rency and the business depression résult'ng from. 4D exhausting war, it 1s respectful qubmitted that © ey ought at least'to shield the officers of the Trea- ary from continued reproach, even if they did not entltie them to the dence and gratitude of the communit; 3 equal in value to specie.

The best answer that can be given to these and all similar charges is to eketch the finan- cial history of the government since the close of the It hag withdrawn from circulation and cancelled tpwards of $250,000,000 of “legal tenders,” and tiereby reduced the premium on gold by more than cne-half. It has done this with so much moderation and skill that the industrial mterests of the country have not been disturbed by the concurrent reduc. tion of prices, And when the government found that further immediate contraction would be likely ‘o paralyze industry and trade it wisely suspended the process for a time, Meanwhile the rapid growth of our country and its commerce enlarges the de- mand for our paper currency and gradually en- hances its value. I venture to say that no country haa ever before endured such @ large and rapid ré- duction of its currency without the infitction of financial crises or commercial revulsions; and our exemption can only be accounted for by the prudenca and care with which the government hag made the reduction, Next, as to the national debt, From official figures obtained from the books of the Trea- sury Departmen: by Hon. David A. Wells, and collated: by Edward Atkinson, of Boston, it appears that the total ascertained debt of the government as It s upon the books of the Treasury on the ist of April, 1865—the month in which the rebel armics surren- dered—was $2,366,955,077, It also appears that pay- ments were subsequehtty made for war liabilities in- curred before that period—such, for example, as back pay of the army, supplies, &c., amounting to $920,778,252—making the total actual indebted- ness at the close of the war $3,287,733,329. The total debt at the end of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1868, including $26,000,000 advanced to the Pacific Railroad since the war, was but 2,511,000,009, Consequently our national debt was reduced bev tween the close of the war and the 30th of June last, of three and a quarter years, $776,733,320, rapid reduction subjected the ple to most onerous taxation, It was justly med by Con- gress more rapid than sound polic, demanded or strict justice to the present permitted, The war waa waged in the interest of future generations as well as of the present, and it is, therefore, proper that those who succeed us shail share in B} pecuniary Jongress accordingly luced = the rates of taxation to 8 point which it believed would current expenses, including interest, and leave Penal ‘sanual surplus to be applied in reduction of the debt, According to my best judgment it is pres cisely such a policy as the true interests of the coun- femand. But our democratic friends, although they have a special hatred of high taxes, have be- come suddenly alarmed lest the great reduction re- cently made will leave the national exchequer with a large deficit at the close of the present fiscal ie. | On the Tit of August last the Treasury held | 7 prove this they have calied to the witness 917 in coin and $! 858 in currency.
