POINT BREEZE PARK, Closing Day of the Autumnal Trotting Meeting. Vast Assemblage, Lovely Weather and Important Races. Goldsmith Mala the Winner of the $4,500 Purse—The 2:40 Race Undectded~ Five Heats Trotted and Night Stops Further Proceedings. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9, 1870. The closing day of the autumual trotting meet: ing at Potnt Breeze Park passed off with great éclat, “mn the early hours of ue morning the skies put on @ gloomy face, as tf they protested against the. pleasant conclusion of the interesting trotting reunien just passed; but as meridtan approached the clouds broke and ihe sun poured forth 1ts re- fulgent rays and kept tho alr fresh and sweet well on to twilight. At ten o'clock carriages commenced whirling from the city away 1o the trotting grounds five miles distant, and by eleven o'clock a steadily Increasing tide was filling Broad street, owing on towards the race. The road was quite gorgeous with turnouts and the pretty colors of the fair sex. The liberal sprinkling which had been kept up during the morning had rendered the drive from the hotels, through fields of new mown bay, avenues of silver maple, as pleasant as could be wisted; and scattered along the woods here and there groups of young ladles ana lads watching the grand cavalcade, From the clu} houso end the miserable apology called the “grand stand” tho scene was really inspiriting.

On the house tops and in the windows of the buildings on the track the ladies were perchod, feeling the most elevated position, perhaps, was the better to note the proceedings of the aay. On the fences bounding the pleasant enclosure the barefooted boys, who nad neither money nor friends potent enough to them in, were mounted; and even in the tree tops they occupied every convenient notch of the larger branches, where they shouted their loudest and swung tn perfect abandon their weather-beaten and tattered straw hats, as neat after neat was decided. A more dejected squad, with a momentary animation, could not be found m a year’s journey than these same pre- coctous lads; but their joy aud their pleasure seemed to equal the more fortunate of the attend- guce, = > There was much drinking of lager, temperance beverages and “hardware’—whicu, by the way, is another name for “Jersey lightaing’’—but this did not result in a great deal of scrious disorder, alibough a few of the Kensington youtus folt as if they ow the track and could do just as they Pleased. The restaurant was not as well managed As tt might bave been, but the litte eccentrict- ties of the dignified colored waitress were excusable under the circamstances, The ubigqal- tous flower girl was on hand, and among the gentiomen and jadies on tue club house and restaa- rant building balconies she dia a thriving basi- ness, and once or twice was compelled to replenisn her stock in trade. Ali about the enclo- sure, under the shade of the trees, were venders of every conceivable character of edibies, and the varnestness of these pediars was of such a nature at times it seemed as if liberal sales were necessary to prevent their immediate business collapse, The events of the day were two, Lie first being for horses ¢ heats, best tree in five mm harvess, purse of $600 to first, $209 to second, and g100 to tin 100—~ third horse, For thls were entered M.

The Match Races Against the Cambria. She is Badly Beaten by the Phantom and the Madeleine. A Gallant Contest and a Stir- ring Race. Postponement ot Other Important Races, They Will Come Off Outside New York Harbor. Tie Contest for the Newport Cup To-Day. ‘The signat victory of the schooner yacht Phantom over her opponent, the Cambria, in a slugie match race sailed to-day, was unquestionably decisive. ‘The Madeleine was likewise triumphant in ber con- test with the British craft, Ason the previous day the elements were nearly ali that could be desired, and after a splendid race to windward the Phantom added to the many laurels she has already won, while the manner in which the Madeleine sated elicited general admiration, That the contest offered many opportunities for the display of the fine capacities of the three yachts was apparent, and in carrying off the Lonors of the day, the Phat tom did that which many supposed she should ere tls have accomplished, lt may ve mentioned that the programme was changed this morving, at a meeting held on board the Commodore's yacht. It was agreed to postpone some of the races already announced until the fleet should return to New York. Several interest- img contests will ~=consequently come off outside the Sandy Hook lightshtp, and and an opportunity will be afforded to those who desire to witness a series of first class contests. ‘The race for the cup presented by the Rear Commo dore was, among others, sct aside for the present, and as some of the vessels were not in racing trim it was agreed that the match race with te Camoria should be sailed, After some conversation the owners of the Phantom and Madeletue consentea to have their separate contests with the Cambria salled together. It was therefore two races in one, the Cambria having the chayco to achieve honors tn a double sense, Tosome extent this arrangement was rendered necessary, as the great race for the Citizens’ Cup presented by the mhabitants of New. port comes off to-morrow and some of the yachts were somewhat disabled by their previous day’s performance. The singlo matches were thorefore the feature of the day. ‘There was along delay before any of the yachts could start, owing to the entire absence of wind. Towards half-past eleven o'clock a slight breeze sprung ap from south-southeast, and the prospects of the contestants were accordingly rendered more favorable. Tne Cambria was the first to clear the harbor, and soon occupied a good sie tion it the vicinity of ‘ort Adams. Neat in order was the Madeleine, which weighed anchor 8 few minntes afterwards. ‘The Phantom was the last to leave and by the tine she approached the star Oe point the breeze bad freshened considerably.

At 12:36 P. M. the first whisile waa blown to pre- pare, and five mluutes laterthe signal was give to depart. Captains Nichols and Palmer officiated as judges, ‘Tne Cambria, still holding ou the windward position, close by the fort, got oif frst, the Madeleine follow- ing closely in her wake. The Phantom, aticr two or vuree tacks, got somewhat near the fort side, and the three veascls passed the line as follows:— Cambria, 12h. u6m. 20s.; Madeleine, 12h.

The first tack was made towar’s the Beaver Tail light, the Madeleine belng the first to go about, shortly before one o'clock, the Cambria immediately following her example, Five minutes later the Phantom was in stays and the three headed for Bateman’s Point, | When iniiway in the Madeleine | again. 4 tom ot «wel in he ec There ras now almost a good ten ktiot breeze, and as the racers left the channel the prospect was mag- nificent, All the contestants were in splendid trim; and, although great specniation and not a little betting were indulged in, it was a matter some- what diMcult to conjecture what the result would be. The Madeleine, which assuredly sailed better than in any other race in which she las partic pated this season, weathered the Beaver Tail light and continued on her course, the Phantom mean- while pursuing tho Cambria in splendid styie. ‘At seven minutes past one o’clock the Cambria tacked from the shore, the Phantom gaining all the while. The Cambria now stood out on a southern course, and the Phantom, secming to relish her company, Was unwilling to part with her, and there- tore held on the same course. ‘ * Half an hour later the Cambria headed towards Point Judith, the Madeleine all the tiie hugging the Narragansett shore. The Phantom followed the Cambria on her lee quarter, and evidently deter- mined to stick close to her. A beautiful struggie took place between them. For over twenty minutes the two yachts held) the same relative positions, when at length the Phantoy gradually outsatied her, and from her windwar position the Caimbria feli into (he wake of the Phan- tov. Even then the Cambria did splendidiy, and although the Phantom was somewhat outpointing hey she made excellent way. When opposite Narra- gansett, however, tie Canibria tacked towards the shore, and events subsequently proved that that manauvre was perhaps fatal to her success, At Q12 P. M. the Madelene, which ail the while kept aloof from her competitors, tacked irom the shore, her single opponent, the Cambria, bemg nearly two miles ahead to windward. Prior to tacking the Cambria was pinched up, but finding the Phantom outsallmg her she parted company for better luck, It was now twenty-five minutes past two o'clock, but, althougi the Cambria endeavored to get away, she was still held close by the Phantom until finally whea nearly @ mile alead to the-westward, a course which under the circum- stances the Phantom did not care to pursue, ‘The Madeiene held her own beautifully. She gained some- thing on nearly every tack after leaving Point,Judith, and her many excellent points were shown tothe very best advantage. Her recent improvement must have had the effect of increasing her swiftness, and, al- though apart from: her adversaries, tt was evident channel Phan- the and the of the Cambria. 1 that she was gradually gaining, ‘The Cambria, after along stretch, stood out from Point Judith on the weather quarter of the Phantom, in whose wake the Madeline now appeared. The Cambria evidently did better on this fact than on Soy prowiboa one, and as the breeze was increasing she made rapid advances on the foremost competitor—the Phantom, Appareniiy not content with her progress, she again headed towards the westyard, buc did not Improve her position, ‘At half-past. three P, M. the Phantom healed for the buoy of Block Island, the Madeleine meanwhile following in pursutt of the Cambria. The Phantom came very near waking her long stretch suficiently good to road the buoy, but as the tide was very strong she was unable to weather it. A short tack, however, brought her avound it, the Cambria being then at least two mules to leeward. The Madeleine— which, by the way, Was improving her position all the time—now headed for the buoy, about half a mile ou her lee quarter. Both were compelled to tack, and the three vessels rounded the buoy in the following order: — Phantom Caiabria.
