£ MoR"a Si THE AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB, Mhird Day of the Fali Meeting at Jerome Park, A-GRAND ATTENDANCE. Fine Display of Fashion at the Course. ‘Sketches, Scenes and In- : cidents. FOUR INTERESTING RACES. Fiagara the Winner of tho Grand National Handicap and Madame Dudley of the Cham- pagne Stakes—Kingfisher Walked Over for the Annual Swoepstaxe:—Felicity ‘Won the Sweepstakes for All Ages and Judge Curtis the Purse Raco. Yesterday was the third day of the autumn meet- Wg'of the American Jockey Club at Jerome Park. *Paus far this season’s sport has fully met the high- pat expectations of the public, The aitention of fhe sporting and fashionable world is now thotoughly aroused, and the indications are that on Thursday and Saturday next ‘there will be even more brilliant displays have been witnessed yet. The constantly in- creasing popularity of these races shows that our citizens are beginning to properly appreciate the pleasares which those meetings now aficrd, Besides the excitement of the racing and the oppor tunities extended to sporting men to indulge in a favorite pastime under the most favor- able auspices, the mectings of the Ameri- can Jockey Club furnish the fashionable circles delightful occasions for reunions. The eiegant club house ts, on race aays, a charming rendezvous for the cultivated classes, Ladies and gentlemen meet on its verandahs and on the grand stand opposite, and spend a spring or autumn afternoon in most Agreeable, social converse. Indeed these m ings might be denominated grand out-door sociables, ‘The drawing rooms of private munsions are not more attractive than Jerome Park on such ocoa- sions. It 1s a pleasing place to cultivate the social graces, In this respect it possesses great advan. tages. The invigorating alr and the excitement of the race give natural animation and color to the pountenance, which the gentler sex never could se- cure by artificial means, It 13 a happy circumstance that the Park is patronized so extensively by the ladies, Their presence is indispensable, as well to fender the company attractive as to preserve the respectablo character of the mectings. And both sexes find in them admirable opportunities for firta- tions. The weather yesterday afternoon did not prove 80 Pleasant as the early morning promised. Before moon the sky became quickly covered with clouds, ‘end an immediate storm was threatened. Talis un- Soudtedly induced many to remain at home who had intended to ve present. A fine day is essential to compiete the pleasure of a visit to the races. Notwithstanding the impending storm, however, there was a latge and brilliant company in ‘attendance. There are so many attractions at this cetebrated course that its habilucs ave reluctant to lose them, and conseynently many peopie drove out in closed carriages. There was a larger repre- sentation of members at the clab house tran might have been expected, and the grand stand was Dearly as well filled as it was on Satur(ay last, when the bright skyand the warm sunshine attracted 80 many spectators to the scene, The racing was, as usual, interesting, and ‘he sport was participated in by all the people present with much enthusiasm. Immediately aiter the first race wee ever tho rain bogan to fall, and there was some folicitude lest the remainder of the sport would be Apolled by a setilea gtorm. But ii was only a passe Ing shower that fell; and it was more acceptable than otherwise, for it laid tie dust on the track and on the roads, rendering the racing better, and more Agreeable the driving home. When the shower came down the sporting men in the quarterstretch Bought the shelter of the stand, bil before the second race commenced the rain had ceased and they were out in fall force on the green again. j AT THE CLUB HOUSE. The centre around which revolves the wheels of beauty and fashion, as weil as the most elegant @quipages tnat visit the American Derby, is un- doudtedly the Club House, that watch-rower on the hill which first greets the anxious vision of every wayfarer and pilgrim to the shrine of the equine gods and goddesses. (N. B.—Sex is ‘an important ‘consideration in arace.) As tbe gay turnouts, lan- Gaus, clarences, dogcarts, drags, milords, phactons, four-in-hands, and Heaven Knows only whai else ‘besides emerge from the ctoud of dust that hangs over Central avenue, and as they mount the fast bill in their journey Jerome Parkwards they first Gesery the quamt banner of the Jockey Club, A.J.

Odi. profanum vulgas! A road which looks for ail the world like a bridie path, but good and substan- tial withal, bearing the signpost of “club entrance,” bauses us, who ave decorated with round pasteboard badges, to pullin our reins and bid a disdainfal if not atiectionaic adieu to the crowd of vehicies which b been long following in our wake. A few minutes aiter and half a dozen American cltt- eus of African descent, with clouded fa pean ig over in smiles, take the reins we ding into their éager hands, and we are standing Jas ac verandati of the cinb house. , WHO WERE THER Sheking tho dust of our {ali t we look ground, Here is Leonard Jerome, ee Chevd- | eT tier of everything that is fashionable aud the guid- ing spiric of tue Jockey Club.

From the odor which came from the latter we should judge that the fragrant onion formed aa ingredient. Under a loity tree of spreading arms there is to be found an old ramshackle carriage, in whicha couple from the country are enjoying themselves tn their own way and after their fashion. The female in the party has brought a large meat pie and four bottes of beer to make a feast thereof. “What's In the ple?” says che father of the family, for there is a small, curly-beaded boy of four or five years of age in the bottom of the wagon, biting at Dis toes and shouting like a good feliow. “Why, fawiher, there some jean pork. six small | onions, a guskia of veal, 2 pound of potatoes, a pint of flour aud a pound of steak—that’s ail,” “Thav's all!” Why, Jenny, you have enough for a company of sojers, I'm sure,” cries the delighted father, and forthwith the baby begins to jump and i aving alneady grasped tne pie in its caubby go0d couple seemed to enjoy thenselyes very much up onthe hill where Jenny could look down on the splendid animals who pranced about on the broken, ridgy turf. ‘The Racing. Four races anda walk over came off yesterday afternoon, over a very fine track. The first event on the programme was the Grand National Handi- cop Sweepstakes, which had seven acceptances; but al the starting ime four only put in an a;pearance, ‘these w Mr. Sanford’a bay mare Niagara, by Lexington, dam Bay Leaf, who had to carry 103 Ibs.; Bacon & Holtand’s chestaut colt Mozart, by Austraiian, dam by Lexington, a three-year-old, With 87 lbs, up; F. Morris’ brown co!t Cavalier, by Eclipse, dam Etiquette, a three-year-old, with 86 lbs, up, and Mr. Belment’s bay horse Gienelg, a four- year-old, who had been origina(ly handicapped with 112 lbs., but having beaten Jicimbold on Saturday last, had to carry seven pounds more, which was more than he could manage. Tne extra seven pounds beat nim beyond a doubt. He might have won with 112 pounds, which was four pounds over his regular weight, but eleven ponnds extra and the distance of two miies and a quarter made his defeat certain, Notwithstanding the welghts imposed on him he Was the favorite over the fleld at nearly two to one, his defeat of Helmbold leading people sadiy astray. But few took Into consideration (he time’ made in that race, it being ten or twelve seconds slower than good racing time, apd Glenelg was never Straighteued in the race. They thought, too, that as he had run three miles then they were sure he could run two miles and a quarier on this occasion, He lad to ran much faster yesterday than he did with Helmbold, besides carrying the extra weight, and hence his defeat by both } ra and Mozart. ‘The latter two made a capital race and the finish was very close and ¢xelting, but the daughter of Lexington and Bay Leaf was woo inuch for him, und she won the race by a lengtn. ‘The second race, the Champagne Stakes, for two- year-olds, a dash of a mite, had six starters.

PROSPECT PA Piest Anaual Agriguttural and Mortical- taral Exhibition, SPECJAL TROTTING PREMIUMS. K PAIR GROUNDS. David Bonnor the Winaer of the 2:35 Class and Robin the bilver Pitcher for Members’ Horres, Yesterday was tho opening day of the frst annual Agricultural and Horticultural Exhibition of the Prospect Park Fair Grounds Asgociation, Not #ith- standing the lowering aspect of the weather in the morning and its showery nature 1n the afternoon, there Wasim attendance a uumerous and fasbion- able assemblage. The balconies of the club house presented pretty picture of elegant toilets and femimine loveliness. The grand stand was algo well filicd, while the fleld contained many vehicles with ladies and gentlemen. The manggers of this fair have made every exertion to the end that it shall be successful.

THE CLEVELAND ASSASSINATION. Further Particulars of the Killing of Dr. W. H. Jones by Jay F. Galentine for the Al- leged Seduction of His Wife~Auother Rich- ardson-McFarlaud Case. ‘The telegraph has already farnished us with the fact of the killing of Dr. W. H, Jones by Jay F. Galentine, two well known citizens of Cleveland, on the 8th instant. The occasion for the assassina- tion was the alleged seduction of the wife of Galen- tine by Jones. Both parties occupied offices and sleeping rooms in the same building. The verdict of the jury was as follows:— That Dr. W. H. Jones came to his death from & wound made by a bullet trom a revolver, fired by the hand of Jay F. Galentine. ‘The following additional particulars of the tragedy are taken from the Cleveland papers of the loth:— On Sunday Dr, Galentine was removed from the Central Station to the jail, where he was assigned to @ cell in the second tier, on the east side. Durin; the daytime he was allowed the freedom of the jail, with the other prisoners. He was visited by our re- porter, who found him quiet and cheerful, showing no traces of excitement, save & perceptible restiess- ness of manner, He conversed with perfect free- dom, being reticent only upon matters immediately connected with the causes which led to the murder, In regard to these he was allent, at the direction of his legal counsel, and declined tO make any state- ment, unless with the consent of-that person. 8. E. Adams, Esq., has been retained in that capacity, and we are also informed that the friends ot the prisoner have telegraphed to New York for the counsel who conducted the McFarland case, No means will be spared to secure the very Lest legal talent for the defence, ‘The prisoner was born in the State of New York. When he was a lad his father removed to this county and seitied in Brooklyn, where he has practiced medicine and dentisiry for many years. At the age of sixteen, in 1862, young Galentine enlisted in bent 1034 Ohio regiment, and served cee prraye until the muster out of the regiment in 1865. During most of the time he was employed as a clerk at the headquarters of General Cox. In the August fol- lowing his dischgage, at the age of nineteen, he was married to ihe daughter of Archibald Mcarthur, farmer living in Parma, He taugnt the fail term ot the echooi in Brooklyn vill In the February fol- lowing he removed to in and commenced the Prastine. or dentistry, which he had learned fr He remained in Oneflin untit September, 1469— about two years and a half—when he returned to Cleveland. ‘Gossip has been rife, particularly since the murder, in ard to the domestic troubles witch culminated fn his leaving Oberlin. Various rumors are in circulation, charging both with mari- tal irregularities as the cause of the difiiculty, Upon this point Galentine sai If you hear any stories about my wife's criminality before thls adfatr you may brand them as false, for know she was never before unfaithful to me, He said he had reason to believe that Improper iqelmpcy exigted vetwegn WRF ad DE.

He avers that he shot Dr, Jones for seducing his wife. Was the fatal acs committed solely to avenge the injured honor of himself and family? Did he believe that she, whom he had loved with bis whole heart, wko was the mother of his young ohild, in whose fidelity aud truthfulness he had based all his hopes of happiness, had been misled by an artful ee ducer? While these thoughts were goading his son- itive mind aid he commit the murder? It does not appear so, Last Thursday he sent to the Leader office an anonymous communication referring to the scandal between his wife and Dr. Jones, The crowded state of our columns prevented ita publication in Wednesday's issue. On Wednesday he visited our office and requested that the commu- nication should be published, Withont stating that lus wife was the woman fn question he gave his ame as 2, Galentine and wished the article pub- lished.

He stated that he wished to see the effect that the publication would have upon the physician ta question, On Thursday morning the above article appeared in our paper, and Dr. Galentine was able to see the effect it would produce. Whether he saw Dr. Jones the next day or not we are not informed. On tie following morn- Ing the murder was committed, aud all that nitely known is above related, CONVERSATION WITH THR PRISONER. Yesterday morning a reporter of the Leader visited the ee in the county jail and asked him whe- ther he had anything to say concerning the sot he had recently committed. The prisoner neld in his hand a copy of the Hventng News, and, referring to aa ae of the murder, the following conversation PRISONER—This article says I was cool and unex- cited during the Coroner's inquest, and that I ap- red to manifest no regret for the deed I had com- The fact is, I was undoubtedly very cool and collected, but that 1a due to my having taken @ heavy dose of morphine in thesmorning to steady vi My father gave it to me, ORTER—Did you shoot Dr. Jones because he attempted to enter your wife’s room?

PRISONER—I wish you would be kind enough to ask me no more questions on this subject. I should Not say any more on the eubject without the permis- sion of my attorney, Mr. 8. als. The conversation which followed was in relation to the prisoner's past life and is of but little interest. He stated that ho was on terms of the closest intt- macy with Dr. Jones, passing some time in his office every day, and frequently receiving patients for Dr. Jones during his absence. He never suspected Dr. Jones of any criminal intimacy with his wife until the news was broken to him on ‘Thursday. Astatement made by Mr. Oldroyd, @ student to Dr. Jones’ office, may throw some LIGHT ON THE MATTER, During a few days last week he was absent from the city, and returned last Friday morning. While oceupied there in his studies Dr, Galentine came tn, and Mr, Oldroyd arose to shake hands with him. = « “Ig Dr. Jones int’ said the visitor, in a hurried and excited voice. “No,’) was the response of Mr. Oldroyd, who sup- pose from the interrogator’s appearance that some ‘one was sick, k to you without his hearing me?” “Can I “You can,” “Well,”? said the visitor, ‘Doctor Jones haa see — my wife, and I wish to talk to you onthe subject. ‘The student then requested Dr. Galentine to say nothing to him about it, stating that Dr. Jones was his friend, and that he would prefer not being con- nected with the matier in any way. The next thing was the murder. Whether Galen- tine made known his project of murder to any one, by threat or otherwise, we cannot learn. He says he only became convinced of the seduction on Thura- day, On that day the substance of is anonymous letter appeared in our columns, and he had an op- portunity of see! the effect it would have upon the “seducer,” What effect he expected it would have can only be arrived at by surmise. We are creditably informed that Dr. Galentine presented a His fnvitations, so | plan of settlement to Dr. Jones, which was as fol- WS:— lnst—That Dr. Jones shonid admit that-he had seduced Mrs. Galantine, Second—That Dr. Jones should marry her after Dr. Galentine had procured a divorce. ‘Third—That Dr. Jones should “como down.” The sam not pemg stated, We are credi- bly informed that these propositions were sabmitted to Dr. Jones and that he declined to accept them.
