THE AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB. Second Day of the Fall Meeting at Jerome Park. JTAGNIFICENT DISPLA Brilliant Gathering of Speetators at the Course, Scones at the Club House, the Grand Stand aud the Quarterstretch, FIVE SPLENDID RACHS. Remorseless the Winner of the Jerome Sweep- stakes, Gienolg of the Maturity Stakes, Jadse Curtis of the Mile Heats, Eden- ton of the Selling Sweepstakes, and Julius of the Hurdle Race, The second day of the antumn meeting of the American Jocsey Club at Jerome Park yesterday was, in ali respects, a One affair aad a complete suc- cess. Unlike the opening day ou Thursday, the weather was delightiul, In this respect nothing was left to be desired. The clear bine sky, the genial sunshine and the bracing breeze, which continued with agreeaple uniformity all day, attracted many thousands of spectators to the course, and contri- buted in great degree to complete the pleasure at- + tending the splendid sport which the five interesting Faces furnished the patrons of the vurf, Full advantage was taken of the inviting weather by those who preferred to drive out to the course, ‘snd hence there was @ Magnificent display of turn- outs on the road. ‘The drive from the HigRaLD office to the chariniag park where, in the midst of natural and artificial rural beauty, the meetings of the Ame- rican Jockey Cicb taxe place, Is fruitfal of sugges- live scenes. There is enough of objects of interest along the route of a dozen miles to please both practical and imaginative minds. Broad- way from the firraLp office to Union Square and beyond Is justly celebrated for tts double line of costly marble palaces, in which business is transacted; and the bustle in that Yamous thoroughiare on @ fine day, such as we had yesterday, when the street is densely packed with vehicles, and the sidewalks with pedestrians, indt- cates at once that New York is the centre of com- merce tn America, Broadway has a larger number of fine business establishments and hotels than can be seen in any other single street in any other city in the world. The mnumerable number of elegant private mansions which line the Fifth avenue, and the cross streets through which it runs, together with the great array of public instl- tutions and of churches of various architectural de- signs and representing different religious denomi- nations, assure the behoider, as he speeds along, that while New York is the great commercial city of tnis continent, it 18 also the representative of social NEW YORK HERALD, the quick hoof strokes of the steeds beat faoes, and ume to the strains of horn and ophicleide. ‘The metropolis ¢ of America sent her Peesentatives to honor the occasion.

Although the weatuer was very different from that which scared #0 many away on the first day, yet there was sufiicient sting init to deter the fur pat- Tous of Jerome Park irom coming out in the full ial styles. There were some, however, whom no wea- ther could deter from paying their devoirs to the chameleon goddess, as may be seen trom the follow- ing tollet, which attracted much attention by the arusuc arrangement of diferent shades of the same color and 1ts general redied appearauce was @ short Costume in three shades of leai brown, the skirt or- numentod with numerous pinked flounces, so a:ranged that each flounce was beiween the shades next darker and next lighter. These flounces ex- tended nearly to the waist, and the suit was com- pleted by a postilion basque of the lighter shade, trimined with ramMes oi the other two shades, A stylish high nat of leaf brown feit, trimmed with autumn leaves, crowned this handsome toilet. A charagterisitc toilet was arranged with @ royal purple velvet skirt, walking leugth, ornamented Bear the bottom with most exquistie passementerie, which could hardly be distinguished from em- broidery, This was profusely sprinkled with out jet, the desiga being miniature horseshoes in va- rious positions, crossed with riding whips, con- nected with gracefully waving lines which seemed to represent reins, The tres gracieux overdress, or polouaise of crepe de chine oi the shade of the Bars, was trunmed with haudsome crepe lringe. header With @ broad velvet band, the corsage arranged 80 as to display a velvet vest fastened with jet Pues cack with a design, in rehef, RepKpaen eng, horses’ heads, horseshoes and heads of nia!

A high purple velvet hat, coquet- tisnly redeved on one side by & jet aigretie, an namented with long purple and black plumes, crowned @ toliet at ouce striking, but not too pro- noncée—elegant, but not barre, Miss C——n wore a rove of black faille, the demi- train skirt bordered with a deep tlounce, garnished near the edge With & Volant of white taifetas, cov- ered with atallof rich black lace, headed with a jeathéred ruciing of black silk, a narrow ruiile of the white showing above.

A recherché toilet was a robe of pearl gray gros grain, arranged with @ short skirt garnished on the bottom with broad horizontal bands ol the material, elegance, the patron of learnmg, the advocate of benevolence and the promoter of religion. But while representative cttizeus of New York take a proper pride in their commercial prosperity and their social elegance, they have not forgotten to provide ebundant sources of enjoyment, which are open alike to all clagses of the people. Chief among these is the Central Park, which yesterday presented an une- suaily gay and interesting scene. The Park ap- peared in all its autumnal glory. Never did it ap. pear to better advantage, with its even, graceful drives, its great variety of landscape and its wealth of shrubbery. Hundreds of chilaren were playing on the lawns, and walking in the paths, breathing the pure atr in the bright October sunshine, while carriages aud ¢quesirians kept the roadway, Many of these Cvptuusd on to Fordham to participate in the pleasure afforded by the races. Harlem lane was sprinkled aad swept carly ia the morning, making the driving most agreeable. Every one en- toyed the splendid scenery which meets the eye at every point, from Central Park along the familiar lane, over the bridge which spans the Hariem river, and along the beautifal broad Central avenue to where Jerome Park naturally suggests a sojourn by its quiet syivan beauty. “ Some spectators were on the ground long before noon, spending their hours of leisure contemplating the beauties of nature so lavishiy displayed In the Park itself and in the surrounding country. Those who were early on the ground seemed to take mach @ieasure in witnessing the coming of the crowd, which rapidly increased tn numbers from twelve o'clock to one. The veranda of the Clu» House, facing the homestretch of the race course,commands »o sweeping view of the approach to the Park along ventral avenue, Along line of carriages pours into the Park, and crowds of estrians, Who cam in the rauroad, enter thick and fast apd soon swell the number of spectators to 10,000. The scene at the. other side of the Club House, where the members have entered by the road specially ses apart for their convenience was quite enchanting. There was a constant stream of splendid carriages and other ktnus of vehicles, drawn by stately stepping horses, driven, some by the gentlemen themselves, an. some by coachnien dressed in stylish liveries, The scene fs a repetition of that wiiuessed at the same time and place on similar occasions, but it is every day diversified by new toilets and new faces. The «usplay of fashion yesterday was splendid. Had it not been that there Were matinées at most of the Piaces of amusement yesterday at the same hour as the races, including the farewell afternoon appear-, ance of Mile, Christine Nilsson, and the last but one’ of Madame Secbach in her inimitabie personation of Mary Stuart, there would undoubtedly have been a much greater display of beauty aud fashion at the races. As it was, the places of amusement in the city divided the honors with the race-course. There was so much of outdoor and indoor pleasure pre- sented tothe public yesterday, that it was diMicult for some to select which place to attend. The day waa 80 fine, however, that al: were [reely patronized, When the bell rang for the racing to commence the verandahs of the club house, the central portion of the grand stand, the pool stand and the enclosure of the quartersiretch were well filled, though not uncomfortably crowded, Many of the ladies and gentlemen walked over from the club house and took seats on the grand stand, where they could better see the racing. From that point the eye com- mands a full View of ail the course, and the spec tors can qniedy keep their seats and notice every movement of the horses. The grand stand presented a beautiful appearance. ‘Thousands oi ladies aud gentlemen, dressed with great taste and evegance, Occupied the centre of the stand. It was noticed yesierduy that the gentlemen, as well as the Indivs, displayed remarkably good taste in their aitire. A band of music was stationed close to the club house aud played lively airs dur- ing the intervals between the races. ‘The excite- ment attending each race jad hardly ceased before the band commenced to piay, and promenading and conversation was resumed ainong the fashton- abie eae of the company, and the sporting,men in the quarterstretch engaged again in_ petting, while the horses and jockeys made ready for the next succeeding race, The sun shone brightly all the day, aud thus everything conirituted to renaer the occasion fuli of thterest and pleasure trom the commencement 0 the close. AT THE CLUB HOUSE. Nowhere in this wide American domain can be seen such a truly fashionable and brillant sight as at the Club House of Jerome Park on race day. From morn tili the warning bell of the first race— one o’clock—and more espectally after the last race 18 lost and won, when the jabilant wmners and despondent losers crowd the verandas of the picturesque Club House, there was yesterday wn unbroken etream of the wealth, beanty and fashion of the Paris of America. Now peering through the windows we sce a party of notables at lunch, the bright eyes * of the ladies rivalling the lustre of the diamonds tnat sparkle in thelr ears or gcintillate on each breast, In @ corner of the yeranda are a half dozen ladies peering Into the recesses of a hat whicha well known lawyer holds, and tn which are the fated nombers of the about to start in the next race, Gloves, hats and all the superfinous masculine and feminine arrangements were frecly staked on such occasions, aud changed hands in a surprisingly quick manner. The bright eyes glustened and gazed dilatedly as the cloud of dnst the homestretch announced the contending pteeds, and we heard many a trebie join in the hoarse shout of triumph that greeted the winning horse. Nowhere in America could such au assemblage of real republican nobility be found. The lad med to be the most inte. rested in the race, and bright smiles and dushed cheeks looked well wen sanawiched between the by we badges of the meiabers ot the club, ‘The band from Fort Hamilton piayed waltzes, galops and yolpourris by the dozeo asa wena: send off to he intersected at intervals by a lattice work, as it were, composed of iolds of white gros grain edged on one side with black veivet, Over this was a train skirt, reaching only to the top of the garniture in front, bat very long in the back, bordered with a platted flounce, about six inches a, edged with a Jold of white gros grain and biack vel- vet. Above this was a desi in white sik and black velvet similar to that intersecting the folds on the short skirt. The tratn had some Sxrangonient: underneath oy which 1t could be looped; for at one time it appeared like a particularly graceful tunique. Diderent from aay- thing before Scen was the pelerine, of the material Of the dress, trimmed co correspond, with ‘the tabs behind inst/ad of im front, disposed like slashed postion. ‘The sleeves nad a deep raffle near the wands, from underneath which could be seen the delicate lace sleeves, The chapeau was of the gypsy shape, made in the material of the dress, orna- inented With black and white ostrici Tips, the white ones encircling a cluster of crushed pink roses, THE TURNOUTS at the Club Honse were bewildering in variety and splendor. Mr. Belmont had @ superb estabiishment, drawn by four magnificent chestnuts, and Judge Stonghton had his heavily built equipage, with two bays and two chestnuts, Simeon Leland had four high-s chestnut sorrels before ghis elegant trnout, and Mr. Loriuard Spencer went home be- hind four bays. Mr, Costa’s lignt, elegant barouche nearly lost a wheel through the awkwardness Of the ariver of Mr. Duer’s tandem establishment. Tho display of vehicles was the most stylish ever seen at Jerome Park. On tne road home we passed the beautiful daughters ofex-Collector Smythe—the bells of the meeting. We also recognized, by her charm- ing tolict of biack slik, crowned by an exquisite round half purpie, Mrs, Beecher, who sat beside her husband, in a landaw THE QUARTER STRETCH. ‘The long, evenly trodden plateau of grass fronting on ana just below the grand stand, whicii is all alive | like a barrel of shell fish, is genorally used as a kind of drawing room or conversazione. Just as any of our readers who may be wealthy enough to own a brown stoue house with elegant salons mignt say to a favored guest of the male sex:— “Oh, say, Brown, won't you step into the conser- yatory amoment? Let us have a chat, my deah boy,” 80, after a fashion, it is at Jerome Park with the men of mark, Who say to each other between races:— “J say, Jones (or Robinson), let’s go down on the quarter stretch and take a weed. Doosedly close hers, you know. Good thing to keep moving, ain't Before the saddling bell rings there is much to be seen and heard, and there is 4 richness of spectacle and a breadch of color nowhere else to be ebservea in the United States ata race course. It is worth a Tour mile walk on a hot.Juiy day to hear that same eternal and maddening accent of the powerfully elo- quent Underwood selling poois, Some of the indi- viduals who lou: around the pool stand with roils of bills In their hands, looking anxiously at the pool seller, have expressions 1 their sharpset faces ukin to What might be drawn in the face of a Prus- sian ullan when about to. descend on a detenceless French grocery store. “Don't go into that pool, Jimmy,” says one per- son, Whose clothes are redolent of very cheap to- bacco, “there's only a hun'ded in it.” “il take ‘Mimariland’ for fifty.” “Gumine Flasherlightnin for @ hundred and ty. “Black yer boots and clean yer eyebrows,’’ cries a small dirty-faced boy, in chorus with Under- Wwood’s auxiliarics, and thus the din continues while the day wanes, and tue picture is retouched every few minutes with evanescent but burning bits of color. Above in the turret shaped Judges’ stand General Dick Tayior leaus out ana beckous to the fragile Jockeys, who rite up to the nod of the bronzed aud weather beaten Confederate officer, and the voice which'wrs wont ere now to issue commands to broken gray hnes amid the bursting of shells ts now attuned to piping measures on a quarter stretch. ‘The jockeys dismount and enter the ground story of the booth and leap nimbly to the platform of the weighing scales with reat spring.

Squads of small boys of the African belief run about the quarter streich with terrible anxiety in their faces, for many of them have stamps invested on the sleek legged animals on the track. Here and there may be seen @ group of veteran sportsmen, who have been all their lives talking abgut horses and betting on them, until at last they have become to look like horses. Look at the size of these gentiemen’s ears, like the noble brutes whom they resemble; and then look under their worn and greasy hats, which overhang their sloping shoulders, and you may see the same vacant, sad and expressionless concave orbs which can any day be seen inalivery stable stall in search of short cut hay or fine feed and bran, FAMILIAR PACES.

Burrows, of the Everett House; Perkins, poet, orator and merchant and a host of other notabilictes. Mr, Charles Moss was in charge of the ticket de- partment and gates, b The Racing. ‘The track was dry and dusty and the racing good. Five events were on the programme, and they came otf promptly in the order named. The first was the Jerome Stakes for three year old fillies, and out of nineteen entries 81x came to the post. These were Mr. F. Morris’ chestnut filly Remorseless, Bowle & Hall’s chestnut filly My Maryland, Thompson & Franklin's brown filly Lady Petry, Clarke & Grim- stead’s bay filly Flash of Lightning, L. G. Morris’ chestnut filly Vinca and H, P. McGrath’s bay filly Susan Ann. The latter was the faverite, but she was the last in the race. Mr. F. Morris’ Remorseless won the stake after a close race with Bowle & alls dilly My Maryland and Thompson & Franklin's Lady Petry. Tite lat- ter was not op to mark in condition, not having had the grand preparation necessary for the distance, or there might have been @ different result. The filies made an exciting race, and ran the distance in good tume, : ‘The second race was the Maturity Stakes. for four year olds, a dash of three mies, ‘There was great disappointinent manifested among the turfmen when it was discovered that only two horses were sad- dling to go the distance, Helmbold and Gienelg. Vespucius had struck himself in his train- ing, Oak Leaf was amiss, Niagara had something the matter with, ner, and there were like cxcuses about all the others for their absence; but we guess the journey was thought to be long. When this was known it somewhat checked the ardor of those wno wanted the field against Helmbold, who had been offered at one tioasand to eight hundred by his owner w any amount. ‘To the great astonishment of the backers of Helmbold, however, Glenelg beat nim in very poor tine, shawing that Helmpoid had not re- covered from his severe four mile dash race at Sara- toga with Pat Mottoy and Carrie Atherton. He was no such horse before that eveut. y" The third race was mile heats for a purse, and there were four contestants. These were John ©’Donnell’s chestnut horse Judge Curtis, Bacon & Holiand’s bay gelaing Corsican, J. K. Lawrence's bay mare Rapture, and Isaac W. Pennock’s chestnut colt by Norton, Corsican and une Curtis brought about even money in the pools, and there were large amounts posted on them at evens among the out- siders. Judge Curtis won the race in two straight beatgin his usual gallant style, although pressed every inch of the way by Corstcan. They were too fast for Kapture, and she did not appear to advan- tage. Pennock's colt previous to the start for the third heat ran away, and in her endeavor to jump a feuce threw her Jockey over her head. The colt did not succeed in getting over the fence with the jump, only getting his forelegs over, and he hung in we fence balanced for a second or so, until ne inanaged. to scramble over; not, however, before he scratched his stifles very lly. He was brought back to the post and started; but he had injured himself too inuch to make a race, and was distanced. « ‘The fourth race was a selling sweepstakes, in which five were entered, comprising O. Littlefield’s bay horse Edenton, W. H. Moran’s brown horse R. &. Connolly, R. W. Walden’s chestnut mare Luray and Mr. J. B. Purdy’s bay filiy Merry Thought. Tne latter ran sway before the start, and she coursed madly around the K three times and a half before her jockey could pull her up, Tits, of course, “ caused her withdrawal from the race. A similar occurrence took place at the spring meeting at Jerome Park, Merry Tnonght then running away and going three miles before she was stepped provious to her race. This event was won, by Edenton in fine style, beating R. B. Con- nolly by four or five lengths, and tue lutter Luray by @ neck, The fifth race was over six hurdles in a mile of three-quarters dash. Six horses started of the seven entries, Oysterman, Jr, the favorite, being withdrawn at the last moment. The other entries were Biddy Malone, R. B. Connoliy, Julius, Tisdale and Emi- nence. Biady Malone became a great favorite after the withdrawal of Oysterman, Jr. and she caused heavy losses to her backers by falling dowa at the next to the last hurdle, when on the lead, and, as every@erson supposed, winning fo hand. Grit fen, the same rider that was on her when she fell in the steeple chase on Thursday, was again on her back when she fell yesterday, and it would be well, should she start again at ai time during this meet- ing, tomakea change. Jultus, to the surprise of even those who had taken the odds of ten to one on him, came in a winner of the race, having made his jumps in the most dashing and styiush man- ner, RK. 3B, Connolly + also proved himself a hburdier of no mean pretensions, and acquitted himself well in this, his first appearance in that line of business. ‘Ihe distance was a trifle too far for him, however, at the pace they ran, and he gave way before reaching the goal. here'ls no doubt that Biddy Matone would lave won the race had she not met with the accident. ‘The following are tne details of the several races that came off:— THE FIRST RACE.

Around the turn George Wilkes was leading half a length, Rhode Island second and Draco Prince a bad third, nee were the same at the quarter pole—passed in thirty-seven seconds, On the backstrerch Draco went in air, and before he recovered was such a distance behind as to prevent the possibility of his taking it up in time to be saved. t the half-mile pole, in 1:14, Geo: Wilkes was leading five lengths, and as they entered the homestretch he was pulled up somewhat, as it was evidently apparent to his driver Rhode Island could not catch him, and he passed under the wire an easy winner of the heat by four lengths, Khode Island second and Draco diz- tanced.
