a NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET. AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB. Jerome Park—The Approaching Fall Meet- ing—The Horses Already There and Those En Route—Their Names, Own- ers, Colors, Ages, Pedigrees and Trainers—The Riders and Their Racing Colors—A Grand Stee- ple Chase in Prospect. Ap the opening day of the fall meeting of the American Jockey Club approaches the eyes of turf- men and lovers of capital racing througnout the ‘United States are turned towards Jerome Park, and the Interest in the various contests there to take piace during the coming fortmght is rapidly culmi- nating. A visitto the track and its surrounding grounds in the early morning of these bright, lovely Gays, will amply repay one, as the clear, bracing air that greets him is electrical in its reinvigorating qualities, They never looked more exquisitely charming than on Friday morning, Nature had commenced its great autumnal painting, and Jerome Park, as one part or her canvas, displayed an infl- nite variety and splendor of graceful pencilings. From the vivid green through the graua- won of pale yellow and glowing crimson, the foliage of the many trees made a panorama of gloriously tinted scenery that viended delicately with the cloudless sky, It gave zest to the many men who are there performing the multifarious duties incident to the training and other prepara- tion of the scores of racing horses that will partici- pate in the coming meeting. It seemed to act alike on man and beast, as at early daybreak the stables were alive with trainers and boys, hurriedly getting their four-footed charges in readiness for the morn ing gallops. Shortly after five o’clock, as the sun looked over the grand stand, its golden gleams coquetting with Jeaf and branch and blade of grass, drinking up the frost that hung like silvery petals everywhere, the horses began to assemble on the track, which, by the way, although then still “lumpy” and somewhat heavy, was in fatr condition. the first that appeared were Messrs. Bowie & Hali’s bay colt Legatee, three years old, by Lexing- ton, dam Levity, entered in the Grand National Handicap, two miles and a quarter, on the third day of the meetng, and the chestnut filly Bugenia, same age, by Eugene, dam Nina, who were sent spinning around in a stiff gallop, nearly two miles, Then followed Messrs. Littell & McGrath’s string, the bay mare Biddy Malone, four years, by Star Davis, dam Olio, entered in the Handicap Sweep- Btakes, one mile and a quarter, the first day, and the chestnut colt Blarney Stone, three years, by Rhynodine, dame Roxanna, entered in the Annual Sweepstakes, two miles, on the last day of the meeting, jogged around the track together, and after removing their cloths, went a smart burst of amile ormore. While vhese were doing their work, the balance of this stable, the brown colt Harbinger, a bay filly, by imported Hartington; @ chestnut colt, by imported Balrownie, dam Vivan- diére, aud @ chestnut colt, same sire, dam Emma Johnson, two years old, and all with engagements whis mecung, and the brown gelding Duffy, and Onyx, a brown colt, both three years old, took @ walk, then a gentle jog, and after being scraped, spun strongly, the former a mile and the latter Goubie that distance, Following came Dr. Welden’s Jot, Local, Jupal, Salute, Simple Sumon, and the rest, who merely jogged and walked around witnout domg any hard work. Then two from the Jerome Park stable, the brown colt Glen- three years, by Thormandy, and the Rapture, same age, by Lapidist, entered chumpion stakes, one «uule, first day of the meeting, were brought out, and sent firmly around in buists of a mile, when after a walk and another jog, they were sent in. Alterwards came Kekersou’s chestnut horse General Yorke, five years, and the chestnut horse Santord, lour years, by Uncie Vic, dam Dolly Carter, the latter entered with Dos- Psi eee 793 ana were & Coflee’s Bayonet, in jatut ake: ree mile: 2 Under the direction of mW. Wuiden, ueir, mda a @fter the necessary Warming up, they were spun around the course very strong, exciting the atten- tion of many spectators. Sanford has done excel- Jent work during his present training, and it would not be surprising if the prediction that, “that horse will yet astonish somebody” may ve found to even this season Miore than ordinary “turf mouthings.” ‘Then the bay mare Sleety, five years, aud chestnut colt Chinan, two years, by Planet, dam Marietta; the Jawer entered in the Champagne Stakes, tirird q Merry Thought, a bay filly, two years, by imported ‘Warminister; Oneida, bay filly, three years, by Lex- imgton; Harry Booth, bay horse, six years, by Lex- ington, and others, completed that portion of the morning exercise before breakfast. After this meal, from eight to half-past nine o’clock, when every passing hour was rapidly im- porns, the condition of the track, the more impor- nt and interesting events of the morning took place. Edward Toompson, the trainer of John O'Vonnell, brought out the chestnut horse General Due, four years, by Lexington, dam Lila, in company with the brown horse R. B. Connolly, five years, by Lexingvon, dam Lucy Fowler. Several gentiemen who by this time had arrived at the track, aud hearing that Eckerson’s chestnut horse Metairie, five years, by Star Davis, Gam Katonah, would reach the course before General Duke was taken in, and being aware that both horses were entered in the handicap sweepstakes the first day of the meeting, they were very anx!ous to witness their respective speed as shown at usual exercise. General Duke bad a small stable bey up, and alter @ sinart jog of halfa mile with Connolly he made a run of the last half in flity-three seconds. he was then taken in, before Metairie had been fully prepared for his work. With Patsy Hennessey up Metairie was moved a mile, scraped, then blanketed and gal- Joped the same distance; bis clothes removed and then run a mile without any accompanying horse, making it in 1:49. Oonsidering the staie of the track, With four pounds over weight, and with shoes on, the spectators imagined that was “pretty good for Metairie,” While this interesting exhibition was Gang, on Messrs. Purdy & Withers’ chestuut coil ‘espuctus, three years, by Planet, dam Columbia; chestnut filly Tasmania, same age, by Australian, dam Matne Gross; Boaster, chestnut horse, four years, by Eclipse, dam Variety, under the direction of Jeter Walden, did good and efficient work. The fret Vespucius, entered in tie Champion Stakes, first day, worked weil and cheertully; Tasmania, entered in the Jerome Sweepstakes, one mile an ‘hree-quarters, second day, did likewise. Foliowing these came Messrs. Bowie & Hall’s chestnut filly Quickstep, three years; chestnut colt Major, two years; bay filly Fantine, two years, all worth engage- Ments this meeting; Messrs, Hunter & Travers’ nestnut filly intrigue, two years, entered in the jurse! Stakes, one mile, first day; Nemesis, black ars, in the Grand National Handicaj 5 anby Bairn, bay colt, three years, in the Annual Sweepstakes; Messrs, McConnell & Thomp- son's bay fily Lady Petra, two years, in the ‘mampion Stakes, third day, and the Sweep- stakes, one mile and an eighth, fourth day; ‘and the bay horse Bayswater, six years; the Jerome Park stable’s Glen Bush,brown co.t, two years, and the two-year old bay colt, by Warminster, both among the nominations for the Nursery Stakes; and the entire string of Mr. 1. W. Pennock (tue majority of which have engage nts in various stables), under the direction of £. V. Snedeker, their trainer, each and ali doing excellent work, apparently satis- factory to ail. Some were spun a mile, others twice that distance, while others still merely received a quiet jogging, then a smart Durst, and were sent in. a@ whole the exhibition was calculated to infuse ap increased animation into the veins of those pres- ‘and was well worth, alone, a drive to Jerome ‘ark to Witness, Since the spring meeting additional stables have been put 4 Various piaces on the grounds, the same care being observable in ali the requisites of comfort, space und ventilation that mark the first built, These buildings were necessary, owing to the gradually increasing number of racing horses that meeting after meeting are stabled and run on this course. Other improvements are noticeable in the grand stand and at the club house, while the grass and shrabvery are charming im their appearance of Reatness.

The stewards of the association have decided to add another attraction to the meetings by ot, a grand steeple chase of two miles and a half. The course is being constructed, and it will not interfere with the flat racing course at all. There will be a number of good caps, including walls, mounds and two water jumps. This announcement has been well received by the owners of such horses as will be likely to participate in the contest, evincing that it was a happy idea of the officers, and it will, with- out doubt, be a grand success. Eckerson’s Zigzag, by Revenue, left his city quarters some time Friday evening for the course, and will probably be one of the entered horses in this race.

TROTTING AT THE FASHION COURSE, Another one of those disreputable affairs that nave so frequently disgraced the trotting turf of late years occurred yesterday afternoon at the Fashion Course. We were glad to see, however, that the proprietor, Who in his rules has assumed the privi- lege of being arbiter in all cases where arbitration is necessary and proper, and who acted as one of the judges on this occasion, distanced all the horses in the fifth heat, on account of the foul driving of those who had them in charge, at the same time de- claring all bets off. The race was announced as @ sweepstakes for $700, mile heats, best three in five, in harness, between Dr. Sherman’s gray stal- uon Gray aresselyer, vr. Ugie's vay Bel ned Rover, Mr. Noble’s black geiding Black Dan and R. J. Anderson’s chestnut gelding Wille Kimmy. In the pool selling before the start for the first heat Red Rover was the favorite against the field. The first heat was won by Red Rover; but notwithstanding that fact Gray Messenger suddenly rose into favor, it being observed that bis owner, Dr. Sherman, wag betting heavily on him at even against the feld. From this it was argued that there was a strong probabllity that the first heat had been thrown, or lost intentionally by the owner of the gray horse. The result of the next heat seemed to fally corroborate this opinion, as the Gray Messenger won it easily in seven and a half seconds faster time than had been made in the first heat. A combination was then formed by the otuer parties to prevent his winning the race, notwithstanding his superior speed, and a great deal of malpractice was resorted to to accomplish this end ; but, as we stated above, the decision of Mr. Chambers :n distancing all parties, and not suifering them to win a dollar, served them perfectly right. The proprietor should have gone a little further than be did and raled all the parties engaged in this dirty business off his track forever, as a warning to others that such mal- eee will not be tolerated on the Fashion Course, ‘e wili now proceed to give the details of the race ag 1t occurred under our immediate observation. e THE RACE. First Heat.—The gray stallion won the pole, Red Rover the second place, Black Dan third ana Willie Kimmy ouiside. d Rover was the favorite at the Start, selling for $70, the gray stallion $55, Black Dan $30 and Willie Kimmy $20. This was the tirst pool. After five or six attempts they were des- patched on even terms, but before the turn was reached Black Dan broke up and Red Rover dashed ahead and took the pole, the gray second, Black Dan third, Willie Kimmy last. On tne turn Rover led two lengtis, which he carried to the quarter pole in forty-four seconds, the gray stallion second, ‘two lengths in front of Willie, who was four lengths in advance of Bicck Dan, Going along the backstretch Red Rover increased the daylight between himeelf and the gray, and Willie breaking up fell off several lengths, giving the third place to Black Dan, who Was before that accident hait a dozen lengths behind the gray. At the half-mile pole Red Rover was bout two lengths and a half ahead of the gray, the latter leading Black Dan five lengths. Willie Kimmy was four lengths further off. ime, 1:24. On the Flushing end there was no change in the positions of the horses, excepting that Black Dan broke up and Willie Kimmy passed him, Red Rover led two leugths into the homestretch, and trotting steadily came away from the others and won the heat by four lengths, the gray stallion second, two lengths ahead of Black Dan, whe was one length in front of Willie Kimmy. Time of the heat, 2:47%. Second Heat.—Red Rover was the favorite against the flela at long odds at the beginning of the pool selling, but as it advanced the gray became the favorite and sold for $120, Red Kover at $110, while the field, comprising Black Dan and Willte Kimmy s#0id for $35. ‘The owner of the gray stallion then commenced betting even money on his horse against the field, and it became evident from his acuons tat he had had bis horse pulled the previous beat. A greai deal of money was laid at evens on the re- sult—the gray against the feid. Rec Rover was the first away, the gray second, Willie third ana Black Dan close up. Rover took the lead around the turn by two lengths, the gray having broken up, Willte third, Black Yan fourth. At the quarter pole Red Rover was one length in front, in forty-two seconds, the gray second, three prene ahead of Willie, Black Dan two lengths in the rear, Going along the backstretch Ked Rover broke up twice and the gray once, and 98 they passed the half-mile pole, 1a 1:22, the gray led two lengtus, Red Rover second, eight lengths ahead of Black Dan, who was two lengths in front of Willie Kimmy, who had broken up on the backstretch. The gray opened gap of four lengths around the Flashing end, and ‘Was that distance ahead at the three-quarter pole, and he brougat this advantage into the homestretch. Red Rover trotted very gamely up the homestretch, closing slow!y 00 the gray but the latter had too much of the lead for the litte horse, As the gray approached the score he broke up aod passed the stand with Red Rover at his wheel, The other horses were about ten lengths behind. Time of the beat, 2:4@, which proved conclusively thatthe gray had been pulled in the first heat. Third Heat.—The gray was now the favorite at three to one against the field.

On last Tuesday mght a week Jaines McCarty, Jr., ina fit of insanity murdered his own father, his own little son, 81x seven years of age, and a neighbor, the Rev. Henry Hurley. Ail the parties are residents of Erath county, The circumstances, as we gather the horrid details, were these:—For some months, at different tumes, James McCarty had shown signs of mental aberration. On the oe reo the dreadful occurrence McOarty expressed the wish to his wife to be baptized right away by the Re Mr. Hurley. He soon left his home on Duffan creek and pro- ceeded up the creek several miles to where his father, James MeCarty, Sr., lived. He told his father his intentions of belng baptized by Mr, Hurley, but his fatuer persuaded him to remain where he was and he would go after Mr. Hurley, who lived several miles off. The sen agreed to this, but when in the evening the father returned with Mr. Hurley it was found that the son had gone back home. The tather and Mr. Hurley followed to the residence of the insane man. Bedtime came and all retired for the night, Mr. McCarty, 81 nd Mr, Hurley oceupying the same bed in a ve room.
