Trotting at the Fashion Course-- Opening Day of the Spring Meeting—Iwo ° Spirited Races, The opening day of the spring meeting of the Fashion Course was auspicious, Under the manaxe- ment of the new Jessees, Messrs, William Saunders & Sons, it ts fair to prediot that this race track will be conducted with equity and a desire to accommo- Gate the public, while all the rules of the National Association will be sirenuousiy enforced. Yesterday was admirably adapted to the occasion ofa commencement. The weathor was delightful and the track to capital condition. The crowd in attendance was large and enthustastic, The roads Jeading thereto were thronged with vehicles of many shapes aud sizes, Sporting men drove known fast horses, and advanced juveniles belabored wretched and unwilling hacks. The proceedings were con- ducted with great propriety and decorum, as throughout nothing exceptionable was witnessed, The initial race was for a purse of $1,000; $600 to the first horse, $300 to the second, and $100 to the third, for horses that never beat three minutes; mile heats, beat three in five, in harness, Nine entries were made to contend for this money, including A. 8. Whitson's roan mare Lady Phillips, F. I, No- dine’s bay mare Lotta, John Murphy's brown mare Duchess, M, Roden’s bay gelding Charicy Green, E. Roberts’ bay mare Laly Emily, Dan, Mace's chestnut gelding Gwynne, Alexander Patterson's bay mare Lady Jane, Edward Eilts’ chestnut stallion Billy and Budd Dobie’s chestnut mare Gypsy, But six of these started—the bay mare Gwynne, chesinut mure Gypsy and bay mara Loita being withdrawn. In the pools preceling the race the bay gelding Charley Green brought, on the average, $15 to $21 against the fleld, The favorite, Charley Green, won easily and in capital style in three straight heats—the chestnut stallion Billy and bay mare Lady Jane tak- ing second and third prizes, ‘The second trot was for a like purse of $1,000, the same division being made as in the first race for the second and third horses. The entries were:—J. L. Doty’s bay mare Topsey, Dan Mace’s bay gelding Dreslen, Dan Pfizer's bay stallion H. W. Genet (formerly Danver's Boy), A. W. Worcester’s buck- skin gelding General McClellan, W. li. Saunders’ bay gelding Western New York, W. F. Tay- lor’s bay gelding W. F. Taylor and F. J. Nodine’s black mare Eastern Queen, All started but the latter, The race was won in three straight heats by the bay staliton H. W. Genet in a manner tbat proves him to be an uncommonly promising one, that may do better and better as he grows o der. Second money was secured by the bay gelding W. F. ‘Taylor, and third by Mace’s Dresden, THE FIRST RACK oe es has a i ly fourth, Ducuess th ahd Lady Jae outside. At the fifth tral they got the word, Duchess having half @ length the best of the send off, the ba ance betag ina bunch.

At ‘Ue second call they got the word. At the quar- ter pole, made ig forty seconds, Charley Green led Buly three lengths, Lady Phillips third; and tiose positions were maintained Hd HS. Ng wile ple in 1:18, Lady Jan ry upjon the backstretch.

Approaching the stand Green and Buly had an exciting straggle, and were it not that the latter lert his feet badly at the distance stand, he would have given Green considera- bie trouble, Time, le Third Heat,—When the word was given Chariey Green was flist, Billy second, Lady Jane third and Lady Emily fourth, Around the turn they alipeft their ieet, but fwhen emerging from their langled condition at the quarter pole, passed in forty-three seconds, Gieen was leading his old competitor Billy turee Jengths, who Was the same distance in advance of Lady Jane, and Lady Philips last. At the half-mile pole Green = still led two lengths, and seemed to be but little fatigued, the others in their old places, Time, 1:22. When the homestretch was reached Green tnvreased his Rpeed somewhat, and the score was crossed by him three lengths to the front, Billy second, one jength ahead of Lady Jane, -he lewdog Lady Philips .wo Jengihs.

First Heat.—The bay stallion was the favorite. In one pool of $285 the amounts were:—H. W. Genet, $126; W. H. Taylor, $65; MeClelian, $65; the fleid, $30. There were many ouside bets, one enthusias- tic sportsman wagering $100 to $80 several times that tne stallion would not be the winner. Western New York won the pole, Topsy second place, H. W. Genet third, W. 1 Taylor fourth, Dresden fifth and McClellan sixth, At the sixth attempt thoy obtained ihe word, with Western New York leading. At the quarier pole, in eight secouds, Topsy and Western New York ‘ide by side, struggling gallantly, althongh the r had the advantage by a neck, McClel.an third, Genet fourth, W. H. Taylor fifth and Dresden sixth, Along the backstretch they clustered very pretuly; but reaching the half-mile. pole in 1;16, Topsy led McUlelian, who was second developing a wondrous gait, but a neck, while Western New York and Genet were shouider and shoulder, Taylor fifth, and Dresden sixth, Going into the Fiusuing end, Genet squared away in earnest and took the advanced position; but McUlellan was still at his wheel, and to shake him of seemed im- ible. Rounding into the homestretch, Mc- ellan went to the front, and Genei’s friends were becoming alarmed; but the sped was too much for McClellan, aud, breaking, he dropped back, Genet taking his old place and crossing the ore vireo lenuths in adyince, Mei ONG, Seosey ‘tra, Dresden out, ‘i ye ait and Western New York last- Time, 2:30%. Second Heat.—the yools soit H. W. Genet $125, MeClelian $36, field $40. Much time was lost in scoring, to ge. the word, as it required six- teen attempts before they got away. The heat was very spirited, Tayior and Topsey for @ time taking the lead, but when in the Flushing end Genev’s great powers came to his aid, and he went to the :ront, wh re, with an exciting nc ghar Taylor, who passed him at the three-quarter pole. he came in winner of the heat by two lengths, Dresden second, Taylor third, Topsey fourth, West Ww York fifth and McClel- lan sixth, Time, 2:30%. Third Heat.—Tas lor got the better of the send-off, and remained lealing untii on the Flushing end, when Genet again worked im earnest and at arattiing gatc passed to the front and won the heat and race by a neck only. The struggle to the close between him and Taylor was very exciting. Topsey was third, Dres- den fourih, McClelian fifth and Western New York last.

The statement which the HERALD Contained was to the effect that books whick had been puiehased at Barnes & Co.'s for cne dollar bad been given to the children for one dollar and filiy cents. A number of affidavits in the case om aauaaiad the truth of the statements previously made, The local press docs not openly contradict the statement, but holds that by resiricting children in their alowanco the Corporation has been saved several hundred dollars annually; pat taxation has not decrea-ed and the present year it wil have in- r Mr. Po.ter, who has been a member of the since its organization, adimits that tiesysiem 13 unjust; that he.nas always opposed it, and that in his estimaton the Board have no power to enforce such @ law.

A young woman calling herself Mrs. Alldridge rented apartments on the thira floor of No. 419 Sixth avenue, of which Mr. David J. Sullivan is the landlord. She gave the best of references and was con-ldered all that was pro- priety, but on Monday paghy she brought to her rooms a gentleman named Charles Johnson, who went w sleep there, and on awakxing found himseli minus filty doilars.§ie raised a terrible rumpus, and Mr. Sus livan, not understanding wat the man War about, h.d him arrested tor disorderly conduc\, The prisoner was taken to Jefferson Market Police Court on Tuesday morning and a charge made agatist him. He acknow- ledzed that he had lost fifty dollars, which he believed either Mrs, Alldridge or two men wno foliowed her to the iad taken. Mr. Suiivan therefore urged Justice Shandley to commit Johnson as a wit- ness to the House of Detention, he guarantecing if a warrant was issued for her apprehension to the woman, but the Justice would not listen to the proposition and discharged the prisoner. The Twenty-ninth precinct, many contend, is under bad management just now, and the panel folks run the ward pretty thoroughly. If the police would do their duty, they say, and the police justices theirs in the premises the people in the prec.nct would have less reason to compiain than they now have. Justice Dowling could only take a hand in the affairs of the ward they might be improved.
