The week, although Unusually unfavorable for racing, has been a@ bril- Mant success, and in spite of cheeriess weather and a@heavy track the Jockey Club has added a very Mmteresting chapter to the annals of the American turf. The attendance on some days was not as large as that which generaliy patronizes the meet- ings of the Club, but has always been select; and there may be said of the week—what very Farely applies to occasions of this kind—vhat 1 bas afforded a season of capital diversion without S@ solitary incident of annoyance to the most fastidl- ous. Indeed, the most elegant and precise of New York society have cach day enjoyed an entertain- ment as freo from disturolng elements as an opera. Not a case of intoxication or of alsorderly conduct Ras occurred on the grounds, the stand has been kept clear of all improper characters, the racea have been conducted with precision and dignity, and each day has only witnessed a brilliant array of fashion, elaborate equipages, magnidcent running and general satisfaction, The résumé of the week's programme is interest _ ing. The Hat of entries includes many of our best horses, some of which by their extended reputation gave importance to the meeting throughout the country. Patrons of the turf were present Irom all sections of the Union, and the names of the winning horses give @ good idea of the character of the stables at the course, Of the races Finesse won two, ‘Tho Corsican three, and Attraction, Bohann on, Boaster, Invercauld, Metairie, Harbinger, Lizzy Rogers, La Polka, Mitcheil, Remorseless, Verpucius, Legatee and Duty cach one race.

A committee appointed by the Nineteenth Ward Citwens’ Association to wait upon Commodore Van- derbilt in regard to additional ratiroad facilities for communication between dowa town and the region between Forty-second street and Hariem riverand besween Third avenue and the Park, met at the New York Hovel yesterday morning promptly at Dine o'clock, and proveeded thence to the ofice of the Commodore, on Fourth streeet, - near Woos- ter. The eommitee was usbered into @ Piaimly furnished room, and assured by an attentive and polite little old gentieman who was ineharge that the Commodore was ex- pected every minuie, and that the gentlemen had better heip themselves to seats and wait a minute or two, He then weat out, and while he was away ~ probably bunting up the Commodore, the business in and was taiked over. Qne of the gentlemen. sald he had been assured by a delegation of Yam- mauy men of the Nineteenth ward that if the Citi zens’ Association would assist them in the commg campaign they wouid see to it that the Madison Ave- nue and Fifth Avenue Stage Companies would be deprived of their franchises uuless they agreed to Tuu the stugea up to suit the Association and the People it represented, That, im fact, the matter would be attended to at once, and the de- sired comuunication be opencd as soon as Wedneaiay next.

Waik right in,’ quoth ths ratiway King, walking leisurely into a back room and followed by the committee, The room was furnished somewhat more tian the front room, The walis were covered with pictures aud Models of boats and ships, and on 2 bigh old desk in one corner was a stuied “Tabby” of large size, and With such @ good-natured face that It seemed to lmpart au alr of comfort to the place which the tire crackling in the grate could not do alone, ‘The COMMODORE seated himself at one side of the tabie, and, after domng his beaver, said, “Weil, “( END, counsel for the assocl- ation, stepping forward, told the Commodore who they were, what they represented, why the asso- ciation had been formed, and said that they thought they could wet a horse railroad running on Madt- son syenue that would furnish what they needed, and obviate the necessity of their hanging by straps and haying their wives and = daugiters crowded and jammed hike cattle i the cars of the Third Avenue Railroad Company, and that vie associanon ha appointed the gentlemen present a committee to walt upon the conptroiier—the intelligent and no doubt pecuniary conptroiie f the Hariem Ratiroad, Which, they understood, held the franchise for ran- ning Lorse cars on Madison avenue. The Commodore listened quiet! Would Interrupt with ‘Yes,"? “No doubt,” “Very true,” &¢. Mr. Townsend then went on to explain how the second avenue iine worked in the mornings to accommodate the people of Yorkville, and was about to venture the opinion thet if the ourth avenue had horse cars— Commodore VANDERBILT (Interrapting)—Now sti right to the poimt.

Mr, Townsend then referred to other paris of the city in which the tracks Were laid aud cars ruaning, although the pavements were not laid. Mr. FoLry—That pavement may not be done for two yeors of more, and are we to suder all this in- cotiVenience until that ts done? Mr. VANDERBILT—We are anxtous to have it com- pleted, but J don’t want to do a foolish thing and do it to-morrow. We migiit lay the rails and in a week or two something would be done to cause the re moval or change of the track. We want to have the road run down to Twenty-third street to be of any real service, and [ think they should have allowed us to run along Lexington avenie. Mr. Fouey—-Could any arrangement be made so that the steam cars would stop at certain points between Forty-second street and Rariein? Mr. VANDERBILT—I have thought of that, I tried to have local trains run to Harlem every twenty minutes, if you please, the train just to go up to Harlem and back again, but it could not be done without interfering with the express trains, Mr, Forky—But could not the accommodation trains be stopped in the morniags and evenings. Mr. VANDERBILT—Weill, now, Will you just see our superintendent, and my gon William? ir. Buok- hout, the superintendent, is thoroughly acqnamted with all those things, aud I am sure could give you more information tian I couid.

Astor, Inheriting a fortune of princely magnificence he has sitown himself, in the power to acquire wealth, poasessed of all (he extraordinary ability of his tustrious father. With the novle and unex- ampled imheritance of hts father’s buildings and bonds, and Jands and leases, and stocks and securi- tues, he inuerised also his genius for money-making— his prompmess, prudence, shrewdness and houesty— thoso allied gifts and the rigitful employment of which, from the humble trader im furs, made John Jacob Astor the richest men in America, Had Wil- Mam B, Astor been born poor lie would have become a rich man, It could not have becn otherwise. His mind was constituted ivr the acquisition of wealth. All the powers and energy of his strong nature cen- tred on this point. Tue Incisive force of his will alone woul! have compassod this resuit. Under his skiltul Mapagement his possessions have rapidly in- creased, It is bis marvelious executive ability in controlling this vast wealth and adding so greatly to ita magnitude that makes him a represeniaiive man, He has not squandered his splendid estate by dissipation, by extravagance or by speculation, as many differently consututed would have done. He has made aecure investments. He has kept out of the vortex of seductive speculation, Throngh ail his Ife inflexible honesty of dealing has been his guiding maxi. It is this last strongly markea element of his character, combined with the large but unobtrusive benevolence of his nature, that has given bigh moral grandeur to his name and fame; that has evoked for him universal respect, aud that will cause his memory to be hela in perpetual grateful remembrance, Of such @ life there is litle to be written, His graud life mission has been performed in quiet, in silence, in the almost cloistered seclusion of jus liitie one story oiMce on Prince street. The lessons of his life are the teach- ings of au uvremitting attention to business, of integrity aud benevolence. These dominant traits in his character are revealed in striking boldness of outline in the brief record of his career given below—a record compulsorily brief, and which the excceding simpiicily of his habits aud the monoio- nous routine of his daily life necessarily make it so, CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH, At No. 149 Broadway, in Maroh, 1794, Witilam B. Astor was born, Appended to the name of John Jacob Astor in the City Directory were these words, “Furrter, 140 Broadway.” The house was a piain two story and atic brick stracture, His father car- ried on his business in the first story and, with his family, Occupied the rest of the house, 1t was not, indeed, until six yoirs later, when he had been in business firteen years and was worth some $200,000, that he induiged in the luxury of living im @ hwuse separate from his business, His first separate residence was No, 223 Broadwa: on the preseat sife of the Astor flouse—a ver) respectabie louse iu those early days of the city’s embryo growth, but in s nd exterior fais aud interior appointments bearing very slight resem- biance to the pal 1 abodes of our present leading men of wealth, Wiliam b, Astor's exritest remon- brances are connecied with his father's store.

He little dreamed the wealth of iuture gold to be evoived from those small, dingy, dusty furs in that stall, Gtagy, dirty store.
