Second Day of the Trotting Meeting. Charming Weather, Good Attendance and an Exciting Contest. Hickok’s Bay Mare Western Girl the Win- ner of the 2:26 Purse of $2,500— The 2:28 Race Not Trotted. The second day of the trotting meeting at Mon- mouth Park was fairly attended, and the weather all that could be desired to render the occasion a gala time. Among the Jerseyites there appeared to be an evident determination to make the most of the favorable meteorological condition, for they turned ‘out in quite large numbers, male and female, young and old. There were noticed of this class the wWell-to- do farmer, who has acquired & name and a compe- tency in raising garden truck for the New York and ‘Philadelphia markets; his stalwart sons who have aided him 1n this work, his staid and matronly wife, and the young miss who, perhaps, is being fondly courted. it was very evident, too, that the denizens of Jersey were to bé supplemented at the amusement by a large number of those Gothamites whose chief pleasure is in ‘witnessing the capacities of ‘man’s most useful Triend among the lower orders of creation,” 50 long ‘as they can make anything out of it. By the steam- ers Jessie Hoyt and Plymouth Rock a number of this class reached the course in good time, and, natu- Tally among these, were many who “assisted” at such sport for the first time. Of course the discns- sions of this delegation were allof one staple and gravitated all towards one topic—horee, So warm and sunny was the day that, if it were ‘met in the south of France, in the glorious Indian summer of that delictous climate, 1t might be called, as the French have named ench pleasant periods, “one of St. Martin’s summer days.” Tbe course mever looked pleasanter, or the country around the Branch more glorious. ‘The graded paths surrounding the villas looked bright in the sunhght, and the soft, feecy clouds glided fo imperceptibly across the biue sky that you could scarcely perceive thelr motion. Here and there the yellow chrysanthemums bloomed in the flower gardens, and monthiy roses, Powek in sheiter nooks, had not yet ceased flowering. Everything iu nature was balmy and pleasant. There were two races announced the first a purse of $2,500 for horses that had never beates 1,500 10 first, $750 to second, and $250 to third horse. For this were entered O. A. Hickok’s bay mare Western Giri, Dan Mace's chestnut mare Idol, Win, H. Borst’s bay gelding John T. Bradicy, F. 3 chest- put mare Belle Strickiand, and D. it. Blanchard’s chestnut geliing License. ‘The second race, purse of $2,500, was for horses that had never beaica $1,500 to first, $750 to second, and $260 to horse, This had three entries, John Dovet’s bay rere Henry, G @ Neison’s brown gelding Jim ockey, and B. H. Dobles bay gelding Hotspur. Both of the contests were to be mile heats, best three in five, in harness. The latter race was not trotted, for reasons to be explained. Much disappoim tment was manifested that the 2:23 race did nol take place. An ituterest manulesied since the Buffulo races, where three of the sane horses trotted together, was apparent, and it was the generai desire Lo see them again try their speed at Long Branch, Rumors were in circulation on Monday that but two of the three would sturt, and a few of the befier posted of the sporting element inti- Mmated that the bay gelding Henry would uot be per- miltved to come upon the track, and they were right, Bs just before the first rave a telegram was received from hig owner, Mr. Wallace, not to start him. The yeasons for this are apparent. Mr. Wailace, feeling that the condition of bts horse might be im- proved, a day or two since took him Trom the hands of Mr. John Lovett aod placed lum charge of Mr. Jobn Murphy; and as suficient thme had not elapsed ‘under the circumstances for the latter driver to be- come acquainted with Henry’s pecuilarities, and Mr. Wallace did not want his {mends who had wa- gered their money upon hum to suffer because of his robable want of condition, he decided to withdraw im, and all honorable men applanded the action. From the time of closing the purse there was no mention of starting the brown gelding Jim Rockey, #8 that horse Was merely entered by the “Hotspur "ww comply with the condition of the purse, “$nree to enter and two to start.” Jim Rockey was not at Monmouth Park, nor has he been. Hotspur ame upon the course after the first heat in the 2:23 race hat been trotced, and, being jogged in front of the judges’ stand for a wile, Was sent to his stable. Althongb the grand stand Dad but few ladies upoa its balconies it presented a fine appearance. Those of the fair sex who had taken the charming drive in along .edar avenue. viewing by the way tie mag- | nificent villa of John Hoey and the charming | grounds about it, were arrayed in costumes very rich and in exce'lent taste. ‘Two or three of these beauties—which, by the way, do more to popularize she sports of the turf than ts generally conceded— evineed the greatest interest In the selling of p ‘Yhey were struck with the excitement and dete ation yisibie upon some of the countenancss of the oll dyed-in-the-wool betters, and more than once thelr ejacuia‘ions of surprise ut the, to them, strangeness of the scene commingled with the yo- cifero' idding of the buyers. The uree presented a remarkably fine field of horses, and it was anticipated that ay excili yace would be wituessed, When the horwes cinie upod the track it was get \ Budd Doble, owing to Dan Mace hot fay in éalth, was bebind the chestnut mare ldo}. Roden pulled the ribbons over ghestgut Praag, License, Borst. over fig ba, ding John J. Bradley, Nodine over the chesinid Inare Belle Strickland and Hickok over the buy mare Western (url. The race proyed ty be weli contested, Ove heats being trotted before it was decided, and when the winner was announced the stiadows of the grand stand were long and deep on the lawi and the sun had set belind Wolf iil and Dumvarton Semmary and its groves and avenues. There was much animation manifested by the | ‘buyers of pools, and as the nid race was declared off, al! the interest of the vetting men concentrated ne upon the Orst. Idol, before ther: during the first heat, was greaily tue favorite; then License for a time held that place. When the chestnut mare Belle Strickland won Wie secoud heat her victory did bat title to advance er in she estimation of the fraternity, and the bay mare Wesiern Girl then be- came the favorite, which coulinued st proportionate oads, atter she won the third aud fourta heats, to the end. There Was mich mouey (hat found its way into the pool box, and When if was morally certain that the Girl Would be the Victor, ou the principle that it isgood to make one’s “hay while the sim shines,” those that were the licky ones wanted to stake their last doilar to lucrease Uie “pile” of the day’s Wings.

Every year, at Tishabo-Ab, the orthodox Jews commemorate with mourning and wailing the de- struction of Jerusalem and the dispersion of their race, and they pray to Jehovah that they may be granted the boon of returning to Palestine and again ‘worship on the native soil, the “Promised Land” of their forefathers. As a religious rite this may be all very well, but as @ matter of fact it would seem that the reform Jews have the best of the argument. ‘These claim that the destruction of the Temple of | Solomon and the distribation of the Jews over the | whole world was rather for them a fortunate event, | and they incline to look upon the great American republic as their “promised land,” the “land flow- * ing with milk and honey.” (Exodus hii., 8.) And surely, 1 they look around them tn this coun- try and see their many spiendid and palatial temples and synagogues they may exclaim with the propliet, “How beaautitul are thy tabernacies, O Israei !? And their number js still increasing, Hardly ts one fia- | ished and dedicated to divine worship, and already | the wails of another are rising up out of the ground, Only @ shoré time ago the Futh avenue temple, Emmanu-ii, was opeued tor service; shoruy alter that the synagogue of the congregauon Sharai Tetila, on Forty-tourth street, and now the ground | is being p.cpared for a suniar splendid edince for | another Congregation. ‘This is to be located on the nortueast corner of Kifty-iifth street and Lexington avenue, In the Nineteenth ward, m the immediace vicmity of the new club house of the “Nineteenth ward Lese Verein,” of whica many of the congre- gation are members, [he congregation is named Aharath-Uhesed, having Kev.

The ground on which tis new synagogue is to be erected measures 100 feet on Lexington avenue and 140 eet on Fulty-fiith street; the building itself will be ninety-tive feet wile, running back the whole depth of the lot, except the two wings, which recede nive leetfrom the principal front ime. ‘Tue height of the sule wails Wil be thirty-seven feet, and of the centre wails forming the nave, sixty feet, while tue highest point of the roof is to be seventy- eight feet from the level of the street, and of the main or central front wall seventy-five feet. The styie of architecture is the Byzantine mo- resque, similar lo that of the Fifth avenue tempie, only while the latter has towers at its extreme angies, 1n this telupie the two towers 107 feet nigh and fourteen feet wiiere flank the middle front, Which is thirty-three feet wide, and outside of each isa “‘stairwing”’ sixteen feet wide. ‘The main entrance is through a portico, resting on three arches sixteen feet nigh. ‘Above these, in the centre of the middle front, a ‘rose window” four- teen fect im diameter, of cut stone and stained giass will add to its beauty. Eacn of the towers Wul also have similar, but smaller, ‘rose windows.”? In the centre of the inain cornice aud between two towers are to be piaced, li an elevated position, the two tablets, with the decaiogue in Hebrew engraved on them. The spires above the towers, to a height of 150 feet, will be surmounted with ‘“sllelds of David.” The material used is Jersey stone, with longitudinal courses of Ohto freestone, which latier Will also be used for ali the trimmings, arches and columns.

A Broken-hearted Danfeuse of the Viennoiso Troupe Takes Poison—She R:oovers and is Reconciled to Her Lover. An interesting episode in the history of the Grand Opera House has just transpired, which, now that there 1s no fear of its reaching a tragic conclusion, ‘will doubtless afford no little amusement to the pub- He, The details areas follows:— Foremost among the many pretty women and graceful dancers who compose Katht Lanner’s Vien- noise troupe, now playing at the Grand Opera House, is a talented young danseuse named Mile. Gaugain. She takes the part of first demon in the new ballet of “Uricila” and receives almost nightly thunders of applause from an appreciative audience. She ts still very young, and, as will be seen, has scarcely yet discarded all the follies of youth. The admirer hinted at is the VIOOMTE "MANUEL GUZMAN, who is now her recognized slave and follower. Ac-/ cording to one account he became acquainted with ‘the present object of his passion before she left Europe, and followed her to this country; while ac- cording to others, he simply met her on the steamer upon which they had both embarked for the New World. This is, after all, not a very important feature of the case; the fact of his present relations to her rests upon the former substratum of fact. The Vicomte is in appearance an extremely young man, of short stature and slight build, and possesses by no means remarkaoly hand- some features, He 1s of a bilious temperament, and the only thing that imparts an air of elevation and aignity to his countenance is a pair of prilliaut black eyes.

Gradually we name of jeaiousy burned Ingher and higher im her heart, and at last she called the Vicomte sharply to orde.. A quarrel, which is reported to have been somewhat aulmated, ensued, and “the Gaugain” re- turned the ioliowing morning to New York m the last stage of desperation and tuliy determined to quit a world in which sne had nothing more left to live for. She procured SOMB POISON ato drug store, and &s soon as she arrived at her apartments took a dose, Tus Arst‘dose, however, seems to have been wo light to have haa a speediy fatal effect upon her. She was already preparing to take @ second and final dose when the Vicomte, deeply repentant for lis past incoustancy, returned and a curious scene cusued, in which cries of des- pair were mingied with protestations of affection offers of mutoai lorgiveness, As soon as the Vicomte learned what the poor giri, un the first im- puise of a well nigh BROKEN HEART, bad done, he was greatly alarmed.

At the Morgan Iron Works there is now in full working order a machine for tie manufacture of foe, which deserves notice. It has been put up by the United States Ice and Refrigerating Company of the city of New York, who expect to achieve wonders as competitors of the monopolists of natural ice. The machine differs somewhat from those used in New Orleans aud other places in betug less cumbersome and intricate and possessing greater capacity. It is constructed on ths Tellter pre- cess.

Laying of the Corner Stone of the Church of the Ascension, West Brighton, Staten Island—Reminiscences of the Old Church Description of the New Edifice. On one of the most beautiful building sites of the North Shore of Staten Island a church edifice ts in course of erection for the congregation of the Church of the Ascenston. Sixty-seven years ago John McVicker, then a resl- dent of the vicinity and the owner of the Dongan Manor House and of a large tract of land, conveyed the church lot to the Rev. Richard Channing Moore, the rector, and to the church wardens and vestrymen of St. Andrew's church, in the county of Richmond. A little chapel, called Trinity chapel, had shortly before been built upon the spot, and Mr. Moore held. re- ligious services in iton the afternoons of alternate Sundays, spending the rest of his time at the parish church and rectory at Richmond. ne was succeeded by Rev. David Moore, his son, who held a service every Sunday afternoon. The congregation increas- ing in size, the church was considerably enlarged. The ministry of Rev. David Moore covered a period of more than forty-eight yeurs. Since it terminated by his death, the church has been suppiled in various ways until somewhat over a year since, wnen the congregation caused 4 new parish to be set off from the original parish, and organized as the Church of the Ascension, Rev. Dr. Theodore Irving, then at Newburg, accepted a cali to take charge as rector, and the church has ever since been growing to- ward permanent prosperity. By the earnestness and charm of his preaching. the courtesy of his Manner and his example of faithful work, he has drawn together such @ congregation as will make his labors more effective, and aid his design for the geuerai od. The old frame church having been found too small, and being inconvenient and of a very nomely pattern, 1¢ was, in June last, resolved to erect a better building and to double the number of pews. The work was lumediately commenced under the direction of bir, R. P. Smyth, the well known bnilder, frem afi design by Mr. Henry J. Dudley, architect, 49 W street, and has made rapid prozress. The stone and bricks are already laid up to vhe windows, and the plan is suficiently developed to give promise of a Most superb stracture. Mr. Clement Newton has charge of the mason work, snd is doing it in his best iyle. ‘fhe church 1s cruciform in plan and consists of nave, alsies and trausepts. The chancel is apstdal with the aisles, continued and used as a private chapel aud baptistry. ‘The tower occupies the north- West corner of the church and a turret the north- east, with @ vestibnie connecting the two, ‘The style of the building 13 in the second period of Gothic, freely treaied.
