To estimste the number within the enclosnre Was quite impassibie, as the muititude filled ali the surroundings of the club house and the @tands, and eyen the fields were lined along the fences the whole length of the homestretch, The Mecting has been @ great success, as there must have been more money taken at the gates to-day «ban would nave paid all the expenses of the re- union. Mr. Shoemaker, the Superintendent, was ‘very activo in his endeavors to have things work harmoniously, and he was very successful. The Trotting. There were three trots on the programme for the “wind up,” the first belng for horses that have mever beaten 2:50; the second trot was for horses thathave never trotted better than 2:35, and the taird trot incluved all horses, with the exception of Lady Thorn and Goldsmith Maid.

Of these seven came to the ®core and contended for tne premiums. Fleetwood ‘Was a great favorite, selling for as munch money in the pools as all the other horses together. Dunder- burg was withdrawn. Fcetwood won the two first Reats, but Honest Billy won the threo subsequent ones and the race, He Js a very fine looking brown gelding, used asa roadster by his owner, and with 8 little turf practice wil make @ very fast horse.

Lonpon, May 4, 187 Tho race for the Chester Cup —one of tho most im- portant handicaps in conuection with the English turf—took place yesterday, at the ancient cathedra; city on the banks of the Dee, ana resulted in one of the most complete surprises of modern times—no lesa than the victory of an animal of whom very few peo- ple had ever heard, aud whose name was never mentigned in the betting unill the night before te race, THE CHESTER MEETING takes place on the Rocdee, a very extensive flat near the old city, converted into a great. amphitheatre, by the battlements om one side, the viaduct of the Great Western Railway on anotner, and on the remaining uwo by sloping, turf-clad banks. The course is irregularly circular, with three or four somewhat awkward turns, round which only very handy horses can get easily, and which are rather apt to lead to accidents, These have frequently oc- curred, and the race of yesterday was marked by one or two which might have proved rather seriona. Several of our leadiug jockeys have a great objec- tion to ride at Chester, and Fordham tn particular, who does not stick at ‘trifies in the way of danger 1 #0 much afraid of the course that on this -oceaston ho decline’ the mount on Mertemer, the top weight, whom he has ridden in nearly all bis Engiish engagements, and who had long been one of the leading favorites for the race. “Cannoning” ts a thing of common oc- currence, and many of the light weights, when they see they have no chanco of winning, not unfre- quentiy attempt to drive their more formidable op- ponenis over the rails. The FEATURE OF THE MPBTING is genera!ly rain. In fact, it always rains at Ches- ter more or less—as a ruie more, Last year on the great dey we were almost swept off the course by the deluge that fell, and yesterday there was every reason to fear a repetiiion of the scene. Down it came in the morning tn torrents, covering the nar- row strects of the antique city with an ocean of mud, gad almost drowning tle thousands of un- happy folks who were pourea jn by special wains = from ail arte of the manutactur- ing | distr of Lancasiure, Yorkshire and Cheshira, There was, however, a great assemblage in the Roodea, as the ampluineatve ts called, for we graad and o.uer stands were deusely packed.

An extraordinary scene was enacted yesterday In St. Peter’s Roman Cainolte church, Relmont avenue, Newark, which occasioned not a litue excitement “over the hil,” and continues to be the theme of conversation throughout Newark. - About eleven o'clock in the forenoon, while @ workman bamed Warger was employed in the basement of the edifice named, he suddenly heard a loud noise, as of something heavy failing on the floor overheal.

It was proved that Hartmann struck the prisoner twice before the latter struck him, and that Hart- mann had steel knuckles, which were produced in court, One wituess swore that Hartmann had used the expression, “1 will either kill McGrotty or he will kill me.” Mr. Leon Abbett then summed up for the defence in one of the most eloquent and forcible speeches ever delivered in the Hudson County Court. ‘His impassioned sentences told palpably upon tae jury, and it was easy to foresce the result, @ poured out @ withermg censure upon one o1 the physicians, to whose neglect or lack of jJuagment he attributed the speedy death of Hartmann.
