4 THE AMBRIVAN JOCKEY CLUB. Fourth Day of the Fall Meeting at Jerome Park, Different Phases of Society at } the Course. The “Upper Ten” Patrons of the Turf. SCENES AMONG THE JOCKEYS, Four Races, a Walk Over and a Forfeit. i Bapture the Wi/mer of the Members’ Cup, Nan- nie Douglas of the Two Mile Heat Race, Eden- ton of the Selling Sweepstakes, Lady Petry of the Purse for Threo-year-olds, and Zilsie of the Purse for Two-year-olds~ By the Sea Receives Forfeit from the Censor Colt, Jerome Park yesterday presented another gay and animated scene, ‘The occasion was the fourth day of the fall meeting of the American Jockey Club, and the good attendance at the course wes conclusive evidence of the fact that publio interest in the great event is unabated. This season’s sport will close on Saturday, when an attractive programme will be pre- sented, and, if the weather should prove fine, agreat guthering of spectators may be expected, The second day was the only really favorable one, so far as the weather 18 concerned, that the frequenters of the course have had this season, and they then em- braced the opportunity which the delightful day presented to be present in large numbers, The ‘shower of rain which fell yesterday morning had the effect of making many early come to the conclu- sion that it would not he safe for them to venture out, and so the attendance yester- day, though larger than on the first day, was comparatively small. it was much larger, however, than those who were determined not to miss the sport had reason to expect. It wasa matter of general remark that 80 many people were on tue ground when the morning gave indications of an all-day storm, The course was almost deserted up t0 Doon, but soon after that time the sporting men, who are invariably present on every racing day, rain or shine, began to come in, and long before the hour for the first race to commence the corner of the quarterstretch, whey they all assemble, was crowded with them. The same famillar faces could be seen and the same familiar voloes could be heard. Among this class “horse talk” was, of course, the only theme. The Park tooked unusually lovely after the morning’s rain; but the track was very muddy, in consequence of which fome of the horses that had been entered did not run. After the shower was over the bracing breeze soon swept all the passing clouds away and the aun shone out in the clear biue sky bright and warm. It was a splendid afternoon, and several of the mem- bers and their guest? expreased regret that so many of their friends had remained at home. The band commenced to play at an early hour, and the inspiring music was highly appreciated by the guests when, as their carriages drove up to the club house door, they heard the pleasing strains of some familiar air. The music was an agreeabie fea- ture of the afternoon’s amusement. It wes in ad- mirable keeping with the natural beauty of the Park, the brilliant company and the whole ser. rounding scene. The jover of nature finds @ never-failing attraction in the drive to the course ‘and in the Park itself, Even without the incentive ofthe racing, elther the beauty of the Park ‘or the agreeable company which assembles there is “lure alone.” It is no wonder, therefore, that so many ‘well-known cittzens have not permitted any other inducements to keep them away on any of the days of this autumn meeting. Comparatively speak- ing, the proportion of gentiemen present yesterday was greater than on the previous days, ‘The fear of spoiling splendid dresses or of catching cold prevented many ladies lending additional lustre to the display of beauty and fashion by their Presence; but still there was a good representation of both on the grand stand and atthe club house. The high ground outaide the Park enclosure was well covered with spectators, as on the other race days, ana there was, as usual, a goodly number of carriages inside, stationed to the right and ieft of the grand stand as well as at other points long the course. Much amusement was occasioned vy the appearance of the jockeys at the end of each ace, completely covered, as they were, with the mud ®plashed over them by the leading horses, ‘The Indies especially had pity for the ridera, geeing their faces and their silk and satin jackets so much dis- Agured, while thelr own complexions and costumes remained ansuilied. AT THE CLOB HOUSE the most spirited and exciting tlme ia when the races are over, and the gay equipages come flashing up to the verandah, on which are congregated all the beauty and fashion of the meeting, Although tho attendance yesterday, on account of the threaten- ing state of the weather in the forenoon, was limited indeed, yet, at the conclusion of the races, we observed ah well known and distin. gnished people, ‘ue first walk over elicited Many expressions of disappointment ‘om the tair lookers-on, who, by the way, take as lively an interest in equine matters for the time being as their lords and masters. Then there were anxious inquiries after some of the belles who patronized the previous r and who were, no doubt, deterred by the moraing’s sprinkitng frem going to the Park sterday, Some promenaded the verandah; others lanced admiringly at the bright sky from the anon little tables at which they sat within the Club House; other some ventared across the muddy track to see what was to be seen on the grand seand, and there others who sat out the races Btotcally, thinking that the drive and bracing air were euough for them, WHO WERE THER.

Tho Yankee boys kint ride as we uns, Nigger boys are always good 1 ride, cos they hang on 3o when tke horses are comin in to the post. Just at this moment a great big hulking darkey boy, who goes by gthe sentimental title of “Btil Towser” among the jockeys, made his appearance on the scene. This boy is a % big over. wn colored lad, of eighteen or nine- a, Who 18 always to be seen duri the Fane ronn! ard the quarterstretch howl- tog ifke'a madman.

Bill was ‘razed’ in Nashville, Tenn., and belongs to Major Bacon, a well known horseman. The circumference of Bill's trowsers at the knee 4s about four feet, and his coat collar extends all the way to his ears, which can be likened to aothing else but a pair of ventilating fans in a cheap restaurant. Sweeping around the course hike a hurricane comes the brown colt Hari¢e and the mare Nannie Dougias. Bul Towser becomes hysterical at once and prepares to foam at the mouth. He will now rashly wager {thousands of dollars on his master’s horse, He is ta the mood to give away houses and lots, brown stone fronts and well ceitivated farms of two hundred and fifty acres te back nis opinions. “Ky-a-h! look dat Nanny Duggles}"’ he snouts, aud he commences to threw his iimbs about in a most alarming fashion. “LOoK dat niaar! she’s a gwine to win | tells you!

Why you wetgh 150 pounus, you do, and ail the horses are down 02 you so dat dey won't let you get on dere backs.” Mr. Towser, like all good sporting men, loses his money with great gallantry of spirit, and proceeds t hand over nis bet of $1,000 to the darkey with whom he has wagered. But he does not like to be mailed by tae tauuts and sneers of his successiul competitor, and be makes a furious Kick at the shins of the other young African, Having estavlished connection with the kneecap of the winner, who howls for a minute most terribly.Mr. Towser proceeds to search for the money to pay his bet. Thrustiag his hands down his pockets he is astonished to find no bottom and to the disgust of the other aar- key Woy, who anxiously waits for that thousand dol- lars. Now Towser’s hands protrude from the bottom of his pants and no money ts produced, He says, slowly aad reluctantly: — “P dunno how dis is, Pete. Ttaat i had dat frou- sand doliar in me clothes.

He aays:— “That ere Towser avesn’t knows nothing abont Tiding, but he taiks a good deal. He's too fat for anything but pone boiling, aud he never has a cout in his pocket." Back from the quarterstretch is along ‘semi-cir- cular space, Where & number of borses are being a dd downer waiked about on the grass or blan- , a3 thelr condition may require. There is as mouch care taken of these animuis, preparatory to a ace being run by them, as there would be of a young oarding school miss wuen she Gomes home to spend the holidays, Herc ts one of the old sports who eticks to horse Tac and to the oid ideas and fashions like grim death to a deceased African, This is Major Bacon, the owner of Nannie Dougtas, who has just beet run- ning. There are three big stout colored boys stand- iug around the horse, eupetiniending his cleaning, their faces shining like « boot newly polished. One of these good-humored looking lads fs down on his “hankers,” between the legs of Nannie Douglas, with a long, thin piece of @ board in his greasy, black Angers, and he 1s scraping the thick, slimy mud accumulated in the race from the belly of he mare, and cleansing her distressed flanks after the same fashion, The mare heaves and pants atter ile race like a steam engine, and the Aweut comes from her #ilky bide in a fermented and faky foam. Major Bacon 13 very proud of the “boys,” as he cailg them, The Major wears a necktie after the Tasnion of the gentlemen who frequented the com: pany of John Gtinoy Adams, and he carries a hickory stick, as if he were going biuckberrying and wanted to defend himselt from outrage or other bodily harm.

The programme announced six races fer the day's entertainment, four of which only really came off, the others being & walk over and a forfeit. The firat race on the card was for the Members’ Cup, the riders to be members of the American Jockey Club, There were but two entries for the race, J. K. Lawrence’s bay mare Rap- ture, with 142 Ibs. up, and ©. Livingston’s brown horse Climax, who was weighed at 1565 Ibs. This load being more than it was supposed the old horse Gould carry through the mud, his owner withdrew him, and Rapture gallopped aloue for the cup and the honors, The second race was one of two mile heats, a sweepstakes which closed with four entries, These were Bacon & Holland’s bay mare Nannie Douglas, John O’Donnell’s bay colt Haric, D. McDaniel’s bay mare Oakleaf and T. W. Doswell’s bay filly Midday. ‘When the bell rang for the horses to ap pear, Nannte Douglas and Haric were the only two that came forth, the owners cf the others not liking th e journey under the unfavor- able circumstances.
