+ PROSPECT PARK PAIR GROUNDS, Opening Day of the Spring Trot- ting Meeting. Fine Attendance, Capital Trotting and De- lightfal Musie. A drive to the Prospect Fair Grounds, through the Park and along the weil sprinkled roads leading to Coney Island, was enjoyed by hundreds of the most iMfuential citizens of Brooklyn yesterday afternoon. ‘The weather was charming, and, as the magnificent equipages drove up to the Club House gates, the Jadies and gentiemen, as they alighted, appeared highly delighted with their journey and seemed Pleased with themselves and everything about them. As the crowd assembled between the hours of one and two o'clock tae band of the Ninth regiment, ‘with Levy and his cornet-a-piston, discoursed their favorite airs, which much enhanced the pleasures of the occasion. The music was continued at intervals during the afternoon aud much applauded by the Jadiesand gentiemen present. This, together with the interesting trotung that came off, made the day one that will be long remembered by all who were in attendance, Two thousand spectators were on the course to witness the two trottmg events that were an- nounced to come off—among them a fair proportion of ladies and catidren, fhe families of the members of the club, and other respectable people of this city and Brooklyn, the latter chy, however, preponde- Tating, as few families from this clty dare venture On so long a journey, It was a charming sight to view the balconies of the Club House as the trotting progressed. For the opening day the attendance was larger than was anticipated; but from day to day we ex- Dect to witness augmented numbers, as ever is the case at the meetings at this very popular place. Tue trotting was liguly interesting throughout, as will be seea by the annexed report, The Trotting. Two events were on the card for the opening day, the first being apurse of $750 for horses that had never beaten three minutes, which was divided into three parts. For this purse there were filteen en- tres, comprising Daniel Dunley’s roan mare Lady Emma, L. W. Ray's gray gelding Lightning, Dill Sammis’ chestnut mare Flatbush Maid, ©. R. Uol- yer’s black mare Eveline, J. Willis & Co.’3 brown stallion Edwin Booth, M. Roden’s sorrel gelding Fieetwood, 0. A. Hickok’s bay gelding Dunder- berg, H. W. Howe’s bay mare Sarah Jane, Budd Doble’s bay gelding G. W. Jarvis, P. Manee’s brown siallion W. H. Allen, M. P. Golden's sorrel mare Polly Golden, Ben Mace’s brown geld- ing Hank, Daniel Pilier’s gray gelding Lottery, G. N. Ferguson’s bay mare Bright Eyes, and J. J. Bowen's gray mare Sea Foam. Of the above entries seven only came to the post, the other eight being Withdrawn, leaving in the race, however, enough to make it interesting and give the best horse a chance of Winuing, which 1s not the case when a dozen or more start. The horses that came to the post were Fieetwood, Lottery, Sea Foam, Bright Eyes, Edwin Booth, Eveline anda W, H. Allen. The two last named were distanced in the second heat. Sea roam was the favorite in the poo! sales previous to the start, but she acted very unsteadily in each heat, and only won the third premium. Fleetwood ‘Was the second choice in the pools, and he won the race in three straight heats. Lottery, although he Jost all the money his backers laid on him, won the second prize for his owner. There feemed littie doubt about the result of the race after the first heat, as Fleetwood had the foot of all the others, ana he showed them the way from the beginning to the end of the race. Sea Foam fadly disappointed her backers, as they ex pected to see her, when calicd upon, beat 2:30 easily. It 13 true she exhivited at times great turns of speed, but they Were spasmodic, and we doubt very much whether she will ever pe able to stay through a race and make a record under the above figures, Lottery did not do as well as was expected of him, as his speed had been talked about a great deal lately, The second trot was for a purse of $2,000, for horses that had never trotted better than 2:23— $1,200 to the first, $000 to the second and $200 to the third horse. For this event there were nine entries. These were Daniel Pfiter’s black stallion Charles E. Loew, 0. A. Hickok'’s bay mare Western Girl, D. A. Creamer’s bay stallion H. W. Genet, Budd Doble’s chestnut mare Idol, F. J. Nodine’s sorrel mare Belle Strickland, Ben Mace's bay gelding Con- fidence," John Murphy's vay gelding J. J. Bradley, Thomas S. Carpenter's sorrel mare None- such, and E, ©. White’s bay geiding Edward White, Of the above-named horses but four came to the post. These were H, W. Genet, J. J. Bradley, Nonesuch and Ed, White. H. W. Genet was the fa- vorite previous to the start, and after wimning the first heat three to one was wagered on him over the fleld, He tripped up on ihe second heat and was then backed at even money against the fleld. He Won the race by securing the Uurd and fourth heats. Bradley and Novesuch made a dead heat of the second, placing a record against them- selves of Nonesuch made a good trot, although by it we are under the iinpression that bad Tom Carpenter been behind her imstead of his brother George a different story would have been told. George Carpenter 1s a good driver, but he has not had the acquainlance with Nonesuch that Tom has had, and, of eourse, did not under- Stand the pecuilarities of the mare as well Another ting, the music had the effect of irrit ing the mare when she came on the track, which made her act wildly, and she was nervous anu mciined to pull desperately throughout the con- test. ‘there 18 no douvt of the fact that she has more speed than either of the other norses tn the race, and she was never known to quit in a mile be- fore yesteraay. ‘Therefore, it is probable that her defeat was caused by e) nent alone. The tr Was in most capital condition, and the trotting passed off with great Goat. ‘The fol owing are the deialls of the sport as it progresced:— THE FIRST TROT.

White, who had broken up. Going along the lower turn Genet broke again and fell in the rear. Nonesuch was futly ten lengths ahead at the three-quarier pole, but she then began wo show signals of distress. J, J. Bradley now put on steam, aud, coming With a rush, shut up the daylight at every stride. Alleyes were on him as he came up the homestretch, and as he passed the crowd shout aiter shout followed his 1ootsteps, He landed at the score on even terms with Nonesuch, making a dead heat, Kd.

White three lengtns farther of, but one length ahead of Bradley. Coming into the homestretch Nonesuch swerved out too far into the track, which impeded the progress of Genet aud caused him to shorten his stride. He soon aiterwards broke up, but recovering nicely, he came on at a rapid stride and landed at the score with his nose in front of the mare.

Defeat ef the Favorites, and the Victory of Bar Rothschild’s Favonius—Tremendous Enthusiasm of the Public—Great Crowds— The Prince of Wales Present—Large Gath- ering of the Aristicracy—Mr. Tom Hughes and Parliament. Loxpon, May 25, 1871. Everybody and his wife—or, at all events, the lady who forthe time being was so considered—were Present to witness the running for the Derby at Epsom yesterday afternoon, For some years past it has been the custom to write of the most famous race in the world as if, so far as its being a popular spectacle 1s concerned, it were rather in a state of decadence. In particular, it has been pointed out that “the road’—as distinguished from the rail— Which used to be tls great feature, was rapidly fall- ing into @ state of decay, and many were rash enough to predict that ere long it would become a thing of the past. Last year there was some ground for this unveiling of the curtain, for the day rendered memorable by the victory of King- craft was cold, wet and cheerless; the vehicles that swept along the dark Surrey lanes were compara- tively few and far between; there were no “blocks,” as there usually are, at Sutton, Cheam and Banstead, and the folks who travelled down from Loudon to BHpsom in this way were so melancholy and de- pressed that they could not keep eaeh other suf™- ciently in countenance to indulge in the anctent Joe Milerisms and cockuey horseplay that form to the majority the strong features of “ine road.’ Yesterday, however, all was changed, and we had a return to the former order of things. The weather was simply magniticent—not a suspicion of an east wind tending to make one’s flesh creep, and not a drop of rain falling to conjure up visions of ruined summer touets. As ithad been so for some days previousiy there was a run upon ALL THE VEUICLES OF LONDON and almost everything on wheels, froin the peer’s carriage to the cosiermonger’s go-cart; from the four-in-hands affected by the bloods and bucks of the West End to the omnibus patronized by tue city men; from the private broughams of the profes- sional people tothe hansom cabs for two, hired by those of humbler means, were turned out for the occasion. The values of all sorts of horsefiesh and of the accompanying things on wheels went up four or five hundrea per ceat, but the prospect was so en- ticing that they were snapped up wherever they gould be procured. Unfortunately the lanes leading to the famous downs are of a soft, friable, chalky nature, and there had been no rain fer days to water them, and the consequence was that when a few vehicles had passed over them they became covered with a thick coating of dust, which the wheels threw up in clouds, that settled down on everything, and not ouly played havoc with the most elegant costumes, but, mixing with the perspiration brought out by the excessive heat, speedily covered every coun- tenance with a@ rich coating of mud. In the lanes, however, it was possible to obtain some protecuon from the ferce rays of tue sun, the whole road being lined with thick hedges ana overhung by well tollaged trees; but on ‘the great rolling downs, where there is not even a busa to casta shadow, and where the hard turf was trodden by tens ot thousands of feet, there was all the discomiort without any of the set off, the dust Tising 10 volumes lor a great par! of the atiernvon, and the sun beating down on our heads with pitiless fury. ‘the great majority of the visitors had as usual chosen to come down by rail, and on the whoie they had the vest of it, for the journey by any line 18 cheap, expeditious, sate and comiortavie, ‘The services botn on the Londoa and Brighton, aud South Coast, which runs to tue Downs, within hali a mile of the Grand Stand, trom Eastern and Western Longon, and on the Southwestern, which rans to tue town oi Epsom, are very numerous, and a man can leave his business 1n the city at one o'clock, see the great race at three and be back to shut up shop at live without the least inconvemence. THE CROWD was one of the largest { have seen on Epsom Downs for many 4 year past, ana despite ail that had been said about the Derby failing olf in its attractions to the general public the result 01 yesterday was quite suficient to prove to the contrary. The spectators principally massed tnemselves on either side tie course to the rignt and left of the grand and minor stands; but there were dense bodies in the neighvor- hood of the hollow, where the start takes place, and every spot Where a favorable view of the race could be obtained was crowded with onlookers ‘The great ring devoted to the betung men, the largest space of the kind in this country, was filled to ex- cess, and the remark applies also lo the Jesser rings, where the smaller bookmakers do business. Oppo- site the stand on the far side of the course were Jong lines of handsomely appommted — venicles, ana on the hill, still farther of, there was a@ huge chaos of otuers of equal eiegance. For ali these an eutrance fee of two guimfus, or about eleven dollars, is paid, and as each ‘person who enters the stand or ring has to hand over one guinea, and those who patronize the paddock where the horses move about before veing sent to tae post are bied to the tune of hulf a guinea, it will be seen ‘twat the leasees must make @ lair profit by their en- terprise. The general crowd on the Downs com- prised every grade of society, and the gayly attired occupants of the °8—composed not only of te “world,” put the “half world’’—were mobbed by the gypsies, the fortune tellers, the three card men, Mhe acrobats and all the owner varieties of vaga- vondage that appear to make a living at such places as Epsom. in the Grand Stand H. RH. THE PRINUE OF WALES ‘was present, with a very large selection of the aris- tocracy of the kimgdow. The Prince had jour- neyed down from London in the old posting style, in an open carriage drawn by four fine bays, which were changed at the well kuown hostelry, the Six etal Newton, for four grays. His Royal Biganess, who was accompanied by Prince Teck, and Prince John of Giucksburg, aud attended by Colonel Teesdale, appeared to have sutfered like other people by the state of the road, and wien he arrived on the Course he was covered with dust and was tauned brown bythe sun. The attendance ot the aristocracy was extremely large, and comprised nearly all Who were in town, with the exception of those who consider that racing has its origin directly from the devil. Of course, PARLIAMENT HAD ADJOURNED for the occasion, as 1t always does; and, notwith standing an indignant provest from Mr. ‘Tom Hughes, who ridiculed Lord Palmerston’s com- parison between tue Derby and the Isthmian games, and threatened that next year, if it 1s then proposed that the House of Commons shall stop its business for the sake of @ horse race, he would move to the contrary eflect. On this occasion, however, Parlia- ment ook its own way, and pernaps ihree-fourths of the members were present, the Ministry being represented by Lord Granville, Lord Huntington, Mr. Lowe, Mr. Stansfeid and Lord Halifax, Mr. Gladstone lhaving last year paid bis first, and probably his last, visit to Epsom. To show the interest taken in the contest, Lord Chief Justice Bovill adjourned the trial ‘of the Tichborne case, one of the greatest lawsuits ever seni hy before & court of justice; and though the Stock Exchange for once was not closed, only a handful of members were absent from tne Downs, and the business transacted was merely nominal. THE COMPETITORS were seventeen In number, many of those that not long ago were Ltn to take part in the race having succumbed to the casualties to which horse- flesh is heir. Taking them in the order in which they appear In the betting, Bothwell, the property of Mr. Jardine, who won the Derby two years back, with Pretender, has been first favorite ever since he carried off the two thousand guineas, a month ago. He was far from being a goud two-year-old per- former, but he was then manifestly far from being fit, aud when, in the great race referred to, he beat King of the ‘Forest in third place the Derby ap- peared to be at his mercy. Alvert Victor had been pretty near the head of quotations ever alter his victory in the Middie Park Pilate last October, and as he was not engaged im the Two Thousand the suc- cess of Bothwell did not greatly afect Lim in the market. sr. Chaplin’s tilly, The Pearl, made a splendid appearauce in the Woodcote Stakes twelve months ago, and aiterwards ran very well; bat she was not until very recently supposed to have more than @ fair outside chance for the Epsom race, her high poston inthe bettung at the close peing due to the heavy suns of money en- trusted to her by her owner and friends, Favonius, until the other day named tue Zepnyr Colt, distin. wished himself six weeks ago by running Albert Fetor toa head tn the Biennial Stakes at Newmar- ket, after he had swerved all over the course, and his performance was considered so good that he took third place in tue quotations, but was latterly assed by The Pearl. King of the Forest was the Best pubite runner of last season, but was peaten so easily in the Two Thousand that he was generally believed to have no chance in the Derby. Grand Coup won his spurs gallantly at Bath last week in the Somersetshire Stakes, and of the others the most notable was Digby Grand, Who once nad the honor of beating King of the Forest, but has generally run very ruguisniy. The following was the fleld:- ‘THE DERBY STAKES—-Of 90 sovereigns each, h. ft. , for three-year-olds; Cojts 122 Ibs., filles 117 1bs.; the second received 300 sovereigns and the third 150 sovereigns out of the stakes.

YACHTING. Commodore Qsgood’s New Yacht Columbia. Trial Trip from Philadelphia to Now York—Full Description of the Yacht—Tonnage— Sige—Sailing Qualities. Rear Commodore Franklin Osgood's new yacht Co- lumbia, which has been in process of construction at Chester, Pa., for the past five months, was launched on the lst of May and taken to Camden, N. J., to be fitted out. The Columbia 1s @ centreboard Schooner yacht, 106.85 tons capacity, Custom House measurement, and 286 tons carpenters’ measure- ment, and measures over all 116 feet, 97 feet 6 inches keel, 25 feet 6 inches beam, and 0 feet hold. Allthe rigging 1s of the best quality, and comprises the most recent improvements that will insure strength and safety. INTERIOR APPOINTMENTS. On descending from the deck into the cabin the beholder is lost in wonder at the richness, elegance and taste that characterize ail the appointments. The cabin differs trom all ovner yachis of the squadron in its openness, if I may be allowed to use the term. On both sides elegantly carved black walnut settees, covered with the richest satin domask, extend as far as the mainmast. Avery rich, yet chaste, velvet carpet, with colored border, covers the floor. Easy chairs, Manufactured expressly for this yacht, invite one to partake of the luxury that they can so well dis- pense; camp stools, ottomans and rockers are acat- tered about in rich profusion, On four brackets are placed some of the prizes won by Rear Commo- dore Osgood in former days by the yachts Widgeon aud Magic, prominent among which is the silver gondola, presented by the club in August, 18/0, 1m commemoration of * the race for the Queen’s Cup, when the Magic beat the whole Meet, cluding the Cambria. A row of lockers extend along either side of the cabin above the settees, the doors of which are covered with mir- rors, and wherever the beholder looks he sees his image reflected on every side. Between each locker an alcove has been made, and bronzes representing respectively “Night,” “Morning,” ‘Mercury,’ “Juno,” “The Muses,” “Mars,” and one that looks suspiciously iike “George Washington and his little hatchet” have been placed. The ceiling is painted white and elegantly gilded. fhe prevailing colors throughout the cabin are white aud blue and gold, and with these different eilects there 1s nothing out of place and nothing to offend the most critical eye. To the right of the centreboard 18 REAR COMMODORE OSGOOD'S ROOM, which ts in, all probability, the finest room on any vessel iu the world, ‘To tne right of the entrance is the bed, hung with green satin and white lace curtains; tue dressing case and bureau—black wal- nut, wit marble slab-is surmounted with a large murror, add neXt 10 the dressing case the settee, black wWainut, gilded and covered with satin dainask, A iight velvet carpet, with red and dark border, covers the floor; a bronze angel bears aloft a magnificent tumepiece, which 1s 60 arranged as to be piaiuly visible from all parts of the roow. Oitomans, settees and easy chairs are alse placed in this room, and one is at loss where to re- ciiaeé—upon which downy couch te stretch his limbs—so inyiting 13 each easy chair, settee and bed, An upright piano will be added tua day or two, and the room will thea be complete, The owner’s frien@® bave christened wis room the Bridal Chawber, but this name he very properly repudiates. ‘Tothe left or the centreboard are the staterooms for guesie, furnished with dressing cases, marble washoowls and everything necessary for the ieiet. Forward of the staterooms is the steward’s pantry; the breaxfast and dinner services consist of china and stlver of tue latest devices. The icebox is improvement on anv | have ever Been On @ sailing vessel; 11 extends back and to the side of the pantry, Wines, liquors anu provisions are here stowed away, awaiting the order of any one who may wish to partake of any luxury th \t can be procured at any market on shore. ‘The cooking is done just forward of the steward’s pantry. The tag came alongside, the anchor was weighed, @ parting saiate fired, and THE COLUMBIA WAS OFF. It was seven o'clock when we leit Philadelphia, and at that early hour the wharves, both at Camden and Philadelphia, were lined with spectacors anxious to bid a Gou-speed to “Columbia, the gem or tne ocean,”’ as an enthusiastic Journalist termed her on @ recent occasion. As We proceeded down the Delaware knots of peo- ple could be seen at various polats; for the HERALD had announced that the Columbia would leave on Sunday, and the dwellers on the banks of the Dela- ware feit a personal interest In thegact, as she had been built at Chester, sixteen es delphia. ron Phila THE TUGBOAT WAS DISCHARGED at forty-eight minutes past one o'clock, fifty-one miies from Philadelphia, sails set, and we spe1 on, with @ northeast wind, at the rate of ten knots an hour. The wind slackened at eieven o’elock P. M., Crgrrrdge st a up, and, the wind entirely dying, we came to anchor till morning. On Monday, bright and early, we were under way, and sighted Cape May lighthouse at five o’clock. We steered our course avout fifteen miles off shore, but were obliged to tack all day, owing to baimMing winds, ‘The running time averaged eight and a half know an hour all day, and nigut found us pinety-tive | mules north of Cape May, and Tuesday morning we were off Long branch. The wind had nearly died out and we were making but four knots an bour. About half-past ten the wind fresh- ened a little and we soon sighted Sanay Hook. | Commodore Bennett met the Columbia and escorted her up the bay. CONCLUSION, From the performance of the Columbia on this, her trial trip, it Seems to be demonstrated that in all essential points the calculations of the bulider will prove correct, and he seems to have been most for- tunate in the piacing of her centreboard and masts, for an easier boat to handle it would be dificult to flad, gomg adout quickly, carrying no weather helm and most easy in a seaway, the moiton of the vessel being almost imperceptible in the cabin, Of course, it remains to be seen how she will com- pets in speed with he crack yachts ot the squadron; ut, nly, 90 far she starts under first rate auspice id when her perfect trim is arrived at we look to hear good accounts of the Columbia. We can now say that a more commodious and com- fortable ‘ht cannot be found in Europe or America. Kear Commodore Osgood has secured the services of Nelson Comstock as sailing master, who, it will be remembered, has sailed many races for him. . The Yacht Columbia and Its Builder. To THE EvIToR OF THE HERALD: In the HERALD of to-day is an article under the head of “Yachting Notes,” giving an extract from the Philadeiphia Inquirer describing the new yacht Columbia, recently built at Chester, Pa., for Rear Commodore Franklin Osgood, of the New York Yacht Club, Near the ciose of the article the Jn- quirer says:—“It 1s a very significant fact—and the Columbia having been built at Chester proves this to be the case—tnat New Yorkers resurt to Pennsyl- vania when they wish to obtain a first class vessel, knowing they will thus obtain @ superior article.” It is gratifying to know that the inteiligent Jnquirer acknowledges that the Colunpla 1s @ “frst class vessel” and that she ig “a superior article.” It is also @ source Of pleasure to know that the Columbia ‘was modelled by Mr. J. B. Vandusen, of New York city, Who drew all the plans of her hull, cabins, rig- ging and sails, and that he weat to Chester to supervise her construction. The master ship car- ter Was Mr. Sneden, a ship, sieamboat ana yacht uuilder Ot New York. The cabins were built in New ‘York aud then sent to Chester, and the foremen of the ship carpeutera and joiners were New York mechanics, It seems to me that the Znzutrer was sailing “free” when it claimed the credit of the Columbia’s work- manship for Pennsylvania, Tue New York me- chanics have built the fastest yachts that ever crossed the ocean, and are justiy proud of their work. They don't mind the litle insinvation of the Jnyuarer tois tne, but hope he wiil inquire further. ‘They will let the /nquirer come on and see their boats sall, but he must not claim them for his own because they win.
