4 JEROME PARK RACES. Third Day of the Fall Meeting of the American Jockey Club. FIVE RACES IN A RAIN STORM. Nellie McDonald Won the First, the Boone Colt the Second, De Courcey the Third, General Duke the Fourth and Black Knight the Fifth Race. Descriptwe Scenes on the Courss and Its Surroundings. Miserable in the superlative degree, the third day of the fall meeting of the American Jockey Club has passed without contributing an atom to its success. Bleak and dreary, cold and uninviting, the entire prospect was one to be remembered with a shiver, for s more inauspicious day has never spolled a racecourse. And so sudien, too, that every one was disappointed, for the morning was truly beautiful and the bright anticipations of splendid sport were fully justified. Beyond question the weather clerk deserves a unanimous vote of censure, and there ia Bo doubt whatever that at half-past three o’clock yesterday it was passed with acclamation by the Concourse of people assembled at the Park. It 1s almost unnecessary to dilate upon the beauty of the morning, the magnificent dome that, cloud- leas, looked serene; of the earnest hopes of success, the expectatiuns of a brilliant throng, of the enthusiasm that was to have been manifested, of the grand rehearsal of previous events, of the rush- jng and excitement, the waving of hats and per- fumed handkerchiefs, the volume of a universal cheer as the unexpected winner sped madiy to the post. There was nothing of the kind, for a deter- mined chill set in at noon, and when the final dash ‘was completed every button of a great coat was brought into serviceable requisition. . It was @uch an evening when one loves to sit by a Dmzing fire to ruminate on things gone by and to come, and now and then glancing on the dripping leaves outside, the barren look of everything around, the steady fall of the autumnal rain, the hazy landscape aud the dusky view, and, contemplating the misery of highway plodders, chuckle at the prospect of internal comfort. Again letit be understood that the morning was all that could be desired, that the most brilliant hopes of a capital day’s sport were Justiy entertained, that a gay and happy look was imparted to almost everything that caine tn view, and that mankind moved to tne course, or rather urged thelr steeds to glide, with elastic steps. There was even a better display of teams along the route than on any day preceding, No heavy clouds seemed to darken the brows of the many drivers who joined in the lengthened cavalcade, and to thelr hearty spirits be it suid that speed was @ characteristic on the way. The roads were in splendid condition, and vehicles of all descriptions moved gayly along with more apparent rivalry than has been heretofore exhibtted. Hariem lane was the scene of a few Minor cotests, and though no collisions occurred some exceedingly close shaving took place, followed, more or less, wiih certain po nted exciamations, for ich there is no classic author extant. At twelve o'clock the course looked serene, and, together with ‘an interesting programme and the expected arrival if ‘se number of visitors, a pleasant day was Up to this time none of the stands were and even the prominent piazza of b house presented but few spectatora, An tr, however, they arrived in strong force. iperior fu style and elegance, rolled ks in rapidly increasing numbers, an ve @ fashion!

THR RETURN, Never was scene of misery quitted in greater haste than the stands at the racecourse yesterday. Itwas: like the announcement of reprieve to condemaed PI for the last race ha‘ barely been completed when a uitanecous rash was made for home, and by the time the band had finished +Tue Last Rose of Summer” the stands were tenantiess, Rugs and blankets were embraced like long lost brothers and umbrellas, and away went the dreary cay- alcade, struggling through the mud, which becaine wonders Wi sprightly in’ Harlem lane., ie Stoughton’s four-in-hand rattled along “n good style and was mud proof, a8 did also the spanking team be- longing to Mr. Leland, There was @ very neat variety of vehicles, but so bedaubed with mud as to bespeak the vigorous employment ofatablemen, Thus terminated the third day's racing—a day of disap- pointment and prospective rheul The Racing. Rain commenced falling just as the horses made thelr appearance on the rack preparatory to running the first race. It came down in torrents, deluging the track and all the surroundings, and turning the previously fine racecourse into a muddy and unsafe roadway. This inauspicious turn of affairs had the effect of disturbing the calculations of every one who had previously formed some estimate of the events that were expected to take place during the day’s racing, New calculations had to bo entered upon, new judgments to be formed and new specu- lations fose as to the powers of certain horses to rum in the present condition of the track. Five races were announced to take place, for which there were entered altogether forty- four horses, Of these forty-four only sixteen ran, the remainder being withdrawn for reasons best known to their owners, but of which the public had no previous notification, Many are induced to visit the race track and leave their business at home to take care of itself forthe time belng under the im- pression that they are going to see an array of horses of the first class in eager contest for supremacy; but when they reach the ground they find such as they Were most anxious tosee withdrawn. This was the case yesterday, It would be a great relief to the public if the names of none but those horses which were sure to start were given in the daily journals of the morning of the race and tend to obviate that disgust which is certain to arise from disappoint- ment. Tho five races yesterday comprised a swfepstakes for three year olds, a dash of a mile and three quar- ters; the Champagne stakes for two year olds, a dash of a mile; the Grand National Handicap for all ages, two miles and a quarter; @ dash of a mile and three quarters for beaten horses at this mapetingians sweepstakes for gontlemen’s hacks, a dash of a mile, with gentlemen riders, In the first race, that of the sweepstakes for three year olds, there were nine entries, three only of which came to the post. Vauxhall was the favorite; but just at the starting moment he turned and refused to run, much to the chagrin and disappointment of his many backers, who had ex} great things of him in the shape of fast ranni The other two got away withont his company. and had the race quite to themselves, The victor was the Colossus filly, who will in future be known as Nellie McDonald. The second race, the Oramipagne stakes, also comprised nine entries, all of which except two failed it in an SpRsarance These . G. Moore's jut colt, by Daniel Boone, dam Maggie G., and Belmont’s bag filly Attraction, by Bairownfe, dam Maud. The race was won by the Boone colt with the greatest ease imaginable and in excellent time, considerini the condition of the track. The third race, the Gran: National Handicap, as it was called, had eighieen entries of the finest horses in the land; bat when they were called on to appear only five ont of the eighteen showed themselves. These were De Gour- cey, Australia, Aldebaran, Nellie McDonaid and ocal. Australia was the favorite through her fine Tanning with Bayonet on the first day of the meeting, and great hopes were entertained of her winting with the light weight which had been imposed on her by the handicapper. But she could not run on such @ heavy track, and had to succumb to the superior ability of De Courcey. The fourth race Was between horses that had been beaten at this meeting, the distance being @ intle and three- uarters, General Duke, La Polka and Flora Mclyor darted, the former Winning, #3 Was supposed by the spectators penersiy afier & severe struggle at the Onish, but i reality with the greatest ease, Then cane the great finale of the day’s sports, the sweep- stakes for gentlemen's hacks, the hacks to be ridden by gentlemen riders, dressed in the extreme of Jockey costume. But it waa a shocking day for the display of gaudy habiliments and mast jorsemanship, added to which the dear creatures who wete to ether to look down on them with smiling approval ym the Valeconies were too few in number and too much ab- sorbed in contemplating thelr own wet and forlorn condition to bestow mueca attention on the gentle- men jocks. There were five entries for the race, but only three of the Jocks lad the temerity to mount, the others probably being afrald of bespatter! thelr elegant costumes, A he sound of the bug! C.

Before Judges Kelly and Dowling. ‘The parquet of the Special Sessions court room was filled yesterday morning with the customary curi- ous and motley crowd o1 litigants, witnesses and idle spectators. The general appearance of the assem- blage was somewhat rough and tumble; unkempt hair and soiled shirt collars were very prevalent. Most of the faces wore a belligerent look and might have vindicated their facial reputation in the absence of the police. About nine o'clock Mrs. General Spinola, net accompanied by her counsel, en- tered the court aud took a seat at the side allotted to the women. She will be remembered as the lady who made an assault on Mrs, Mary Gillin A. T. Stewart's store at au hour in the day when a very fashionable attendance of cus- tomers was present. Had the case becy tried it might have proved eminently foteresting and disclosed gome features in the intercourse among people claiming aristocratic position bpm strange aud in- stractive. rs. Spinola was fashionably attired. She might be called handsome, or the reverse, ac- cording to taste. She might be deemed amiabie, too, though her jooks show no mean amount of de- termined spirit, ¥ Mrs. Mary Gill came in shortly afterwards, wear- tng a white shaw! anda tace veil. She sat withina few feet of the other lady, but of course exchanged no look or word of recognition. The case was calied about the first on the docket. Mrs. Gill advanced to the bar and told Judge Dowling tn a low, sweet volce that by arrangement between the opposing counsel the tnpleasantness had becn satisfactorily adjasted, and therenpon both ladies at # convement mterval apart leit the court rool.
