TONG BRANCH RACES. ‘hird Day of the August Meeting. FOUR INTERESTING CONTESTS Grand Array of Beauty and Fashion—Good Track and Exquisite Racing Weather. Milestan the Winner of the Gentlemen’s Cup, Wine Sap the West End Hotel Stakes, Nellie Gray the Purse wf $750, Mile Heats, and Holmbold the Tammany Cup. Lona Branca, August 8, 1871, I mot old Jim Sandford this morning, on the amboat Jesse Hoyt, going to the races. Jim has pome North from the land of orange groves and weltoring weather to @ more genial clime, that he jay shake off a bad cough as he would have con- uered a pugilistic opponent years ago, It is plea- jant to look at this veteran and study his quiet de- anor. In the days gone by, when it meant some- ing to stand in the ring, and a prize Oghter’s onor was not altogether a myth, and a pickpocket ught ata sparring exhibition would have been rown out of the window as you would a mad dog, was “top sawyer’ of them all. His victories on cord aro as the leaves in Valambrosa and his faults ut few. He 1s over seventy now, and that game an yet loves to look at struggles and contests, ‘hether of men, chickens or horses, Approaching his Mace of his day and looking into eyes which, lespite the infirmities of age, still sparkle like amonds, ‘I extended the compliments of the morn- g, and though an enemy worse than he ever be- jore encountered is tugging for his life, the grasp of is hand {s like that of a vice and he 1s very gental. “Yes, | am going to the races; I feit very ill yester- jay and leg-weary, but am better to-day, and the xcitement of the race course ts better than medi- ine for me.” “What do I think of Monmouth Park?’ , “Well, it’s a great spot, but can’t get used to this ie Gash business, ‘Taint so exciting, So grand as he one, two, three and four mile heats. Don’t you sce Jond the old man extended his hand, that has made many tard heads rattle as if a steam hammer ad smashed them), don't you sec, there’s great judgment, great nursing qualities, great diplomacy jhown in such races, and I love ’em; I ain’t used o the small business.” “Mr, Sandford, the old boys of your perlod have poeanly all gone—how do you feeb without them ?”? “I sometimes feel lost, my dear boy; those were od old days; we had some honor among us then; fput (and the old man sighed) there's none of it now; ere’s too much rascality afloat; the meanest ‘peats’ are around, and we are going back—going pack to the dogs, my dear boy.” t jaa we met going to tue races. And Uncle Jim Sandford 1s right, and I am His “head was ways level.” It1s bigh noon on the quarter stretch. The ellver aples on Wolf Peak are ttpped with the golden of the burning sun. Oceanport sits as if upon throne and her village spires are like columns of iver. A sall now and then glides through the 8 as its hull rolls to the swell of the sea, This is he quiet before the excitement of the day. One by ne the owners of the horses in the stables beyond ke their appearance. At their heels the little ‘iggers or their bigger brothers are skipping along do favorite coach dogs. All the molasses faces pecullar and worth @ moment's notice, jut yonder comes a genius or the contra- a persuasion. It is Bose, the ebony- jued trainer of Babcock. Now this specimen could ake his fortune, if he only knew It, outside of the table. He 1s a most Dag rs lege eg ht Y darky, id to see him once is always to remember that jorm and that face. Bose never dresses like one of our “eau de cologne niggers,” as Garnet expresses black Saratoga exquisite, but his costume looks 13 business, and for all that smeils of it. This Buse as stern sheets like a Dutch lugger and his port w 18 very heavy.

And this Is one of the enlightened trainers 1 the age. To me to-day Bose looks troubled, and think I Know the reason of his distracted expres- lon. Itis that aduir of yesterday, whon Beilptic in the two mile heat race cut down Nis favorite Con- juctor, It liked to kill the ‘dark.’ A war clu! wung by an eight-foot Patagonian on that head o! 8, would have been sweet compared to the pain nat picrced his heart when Ecliptic’s plate slashed Conductor's hind leg.

It yas When Heimbold won the three mile dash. Soon 8 the Judges announved lis victory Bose was seen amling around the track, with a grin er had a is hea n island. 1 The attendance was larger than on any previous jay. Tue spacious galleries of the grand stand were ‘ell filled With representative gentlemen and la- 1e3—the latter appearing to much advantage in the auty of well selecte:! totlets. Many minors were ng OWL so Musically that the rough voices of rough fire in great numbers, and their joy at times en Were picasantly drowned in childish glee. .. The race for the Gentlemen’s Cup—an exquisite pod ork of the jeweller that cost the liberal John namberlain $750, by whom it was ordered for pre- mtation to the winner—was of much interest, id 80 pleased the lauy spectators that teir thusiasia was at the right pitch to fully appre- jate the contest that followed, the West Eud Hotet takes, a dash of two miles, The horses look so ell, the jockeys appeared #0 confident, the music f the band so charming, and Underwood and Mc- joWan, the pool sellers, so busy with their friends, jhatL many of the more excitavle cried aloud with lee before the tap of the drum sent the contestants way. lt proved @ race warranting any amount of othusiasm, as tt Was nip and nip all the way from jart to mish, And when the beautiful filly Wine jap scored the victory I saw more than a thousand andkerchiefs aud hats in the air. On the grand stand and wandering about the awn I nouced many gentiemen of note, Those at 1 remember vow are Jonn McKeon, Governor jowie, General Van Viell, Join Purdy, ex-Judge odge, Lawrence R, Jerome; Mr. Williamson, of joblie; Bondinot Colt, Theodore M Inspector amleson, besides ail the racing men of distinction.

THE RACING, The horses bad a fine day and a gooa track yester- ay for thelr several performances. Four events ere on the card—the first a steeple chase for a silver 1D} the second the West End Hotel stakes, o dash T two miles, for three-year-old filles; the third, mile ‘ats for @ purse, and tho fourth a race for the mmany Cup, three miles. The steeple chase had four entries and threo tarters. These were Mr. Bannatyne’s chestnut colt losian, by Mickey Free, dam by Wagner; J. K. wrence’s bay gelding Jim Tisdale, by Revenue, Louies Jordan, and mr. i 1 play or pi horse to receive $800 and the third $16 Bapnatrny’s brown ; (he cud of (he Gr: horse Dagy, by Hunter's Lexington, dam Ulio, The race wasvery tine and the riding good between Mr, Bannatyne on Milesian and Mr. Lawrence on Jim Tisdale, while Duy and his rider were nowhere and ofnoaccount, Mr. Bannatyne won the cup, The second race had five starters out of twenty- two entries. These were Thomas W. Doswell’s bay filly Wine Sap, by Vandyke, dam Nina; M. A. Lit- tell’s gray filly Mary Clark, by Lexington, dam Eagless; W. R. Babcock’s chestnut filly Neliie Ran- som, by Jack Malone, dam Vesper Light; W. Cot- treil’s chestnut filly Saucepox, by Star Davis, dam skedaddie, and M. H. Sanford’s bay filly Madame Dudley, by Lexington, dam Britannia Fourth, This wag @ capital race, Mary Clark was the favorite over the fleid at odds, but she was beaten a neck by Wine Sap, who sold in the pools for the least of any of the others. Her backers reaped a rich harvest by her victory. Mary Clark cut out the work and Nellie Ransom weut at her with @ will and kept her up to her best tor a mile and a half, when Wine Sap made her run, and, taking the lead, retained it to theend. The. finish of Mary Clark was a gallant display of gameness, aud tt was lucky for Wine Sap and her backers that the wire was just where it was, as another jump or two would bave lost her the race. Nellie Raugom was third, Saucebox fourth and Madame Dudley filth, all tn @ buucn at the floish, The third race was mile leata, with three starters. ‘These were Messrs. Jerome & Buford’s gray filly Nellie Gray, by Commodore, dam aister to ’rioress; R. Shea's brown horse Climax, by Bulrownte, dam Jewell, and Mr, Boughrum’s chestnut colt Heenan. Nellie Gray won in a short rubber very easily, mak- ing_ the quickest mile that has been run at Monmouth Park at this meciing. Nellie Gray is the fastest filly of her years in America at the present day, and the various Ladies’ Stakes that she may be entered in will be agift to | her, The old horse Climax showed a high degree of speed in this race, but he 18 now too old to be suc cessful in such youug company as that of Nollie ray. The fourth race was a dash of three miles between W. R. Babcook’s chestuut horse Helmbold, by Aus- tralian. dam Lavender; M. H. Sanford’s bay mare Ni- agara, by Lexington, dam Bay Leaf, and J. W. Weldon’s chesinut colt Leland, by Lightning, dam by Yorkshire.

The next impediment to be surmounted was a fence, Which Tisdale went over first, Milesian second and Duffy third, a great Gistance behind; tn fact, {t was evident at this early stage of the race that he was already out of it. The Norses then ran over the fleld for quarter of a mile in a westerly direotion and then came toa wall at the lower part of the field, Milesian wasin front a few lengths, He and Tisdale jumped Le prettily. They had another wall as they came up towards the stand, and then they came to the front of the stand and .eaped over the heage and water leap—a ver; fine jump, They both made the leap in fine aig, Duffy was a quarter of a mile behind, but he followe on and took the jumps in admirable style. Tisdale and Milesian again made the circuit of the field, taking their jumps in good style, particularly the dimicalt one over the water in front of the stand. After leaving there they jumped a wall, and then went out of the flela into the regular track near the quarter pole. Tisda‘e and Milcsian made a very close race of it down the backstretch, jumping a hurdie at the half-mile pole and running side and side around the iower turn, They then had one hurdle more to leap, which was on the homestretch. Mile- sian was first over this, and, coming away prettily, won the race by ten lengths, ag every person on the track seemed to know he would from the beginning, as there wero few pools gold on the evont.

Going atound the lower turn Nellie Ransom showed in front by a neck, Mary Clark second, Wine Sap third, Saucebox fourth and Maaame Dudley fifth. The horses got close together as they entered the homestretch, and it was a beautiful sight to witness as they came dashing up towards the stana. As they assed under the wire Nellie Ransom _ led @ neck, Mary Clark second, with Wine Sap at her flanks, Sauccbox fourth and Madame Dudley alength behind. Nellie kept the lead around the upper turn, but at the quarter vole she had to reiinguish it to Wine Sap; Mary Clark third, Saucebox fourth, Madame Dudley filth.

THE NATION'S WARDS. The Union Home and School=A Generous Bequest—A Plensant Day at the Home. Ten vears have elapsed since the establishment of | the “Onion Home and School for Soldiers’ and | Sailors’ Orphans,” and during that period it has | passed through many vicissitudes. When founded it had to subsist by begging, but since then time has done much to bring it into prominence, and give the public full confidence in its mangeament. * In the yoar 1867 an American, Mr, Horatio Ward, | wno had transacted business in London for about forty years, departed this life, and, remindful of his | obligations to the country of his birth, leit a legacy of nearly $100,000 to the ‘omes for the orphans of the late war forthe restoration of the Union,” ap- | pointing Mr. Benjamin Moran, First Secretary of the American Legation in London, and Mr, Lenox Ken- nedy, of New York, “to make such distribution as | they might consider equal, fair and just.” Kighteen | homes) made application to share in the bequest, but the Court of Chancery of mng- land decided that only tour couli participate, under | the provisions of the will, These were :—The Union | Home and School for Soldiers’ and Saitors’ Or- phans, at New York; the Wisconsin Soldiers’ Or- phans’ Home, the Bath Military and Naval Academy, at Bath, Me., aud the National Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orph jome, at Washington. ‘Tho two gentlemen alrealy mentuoned, having made their ee appotpted Mr. Robbins (of the firm of Farmer & Robbins, solicitors. London), to vist each Llome and make the necessary deposit of funds. Yesterday was appomtei as the day on which to visit the Union Home ant School, at 1520 street and | Eleventh avenue and those managers who still re- | mained in the city, were there todo honor to the pst Mr. Robbins having arrived, and been introduced to the managers, inspected the schools, The children were assembled in tue chapel and presented a splendid appearance. After various exercises, Mr. Robbing, being tntro- duced by Colonel Lansing, stated to the children the FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, WALL STREET, Thugspay, August 3—6 P, M. GOLD 11234. The gold market to-Jay has shown a somewhat weaker feeling than yesterday, although the owners National, 180; Fourth National, 114; Ninch National, of cash gold sull continue to obtain a large interest for the use of coin. Gold did seil at 112% to-day, but this figure was exceptional, and both before and afterward 112 bid was regarded as a fair price. Upon the average transactions we may say that gold was worth 1123¢ w-day. ‘The gold clearings to-day were only $16,600,000, FOREIGN EXCHANGR continues steady ut the advanced rates noted yester- day, which, however, are merely nominal. Tua, although leading bankers ask 110 for sixty-day bilis and 11034 for sight, they are willing to sell both of these at a very considerable discount, THE MONEY MARKET, Currency 1s still freely offered at two and three per cent on call, and there 1s nothing in the present condition of affairs to justify any apprehension of a stringency during the fall months, It is, however, unsafe to conclade that because money is so free now it should continue to be 80, It should bo borne in mind that a large amount of foreign capital is and has been seeking employment here for some months. We have got no guarantee of the moment when that money may be called for, ‘The statement of the Bank of England shows a de- crease of one million and a half for the current week. It is an interesting question where that money has gone to. Has the Continent awakened to the speculative sentiment of the period; or if not, has the condition of the Bank of France been such as tooblige acalion the Bank of England? Each of these suggestions ts of interest to loaners to-day, particularly whether that large surplus of coin in the Bank of England (exceeding anything in its pre- vious history) has been again started into circu lation, GOVERNMENTS ARE FIRMER and the general disposition among capitalists ts that | ‘Tho statement tn | the HgRALD yesterday that afr, Boutwell has no | 109L8 they are still a good investment. authority either under the finance bonds or the Pub- llc Credit bill to suspend the interest on any of the five-twenttes has induced a stiffer aisposition in these bonds. Mr. Boutweil’s claim has been virtu- ally, although not coming from him, chat the five years’ option having expired he could call the bond eaite Mall. . in for redemption at any time that suited his con- venience. This is disputed, and we think with good grounds, the Public Credit act showing an evident purpose in Congress that greenbacks should be at par with gold before any conversion of this nature, as attempted, could be forced. SOUTHERN SECURITINS are mostly steady, with very little to note in respect to their action upon the market, As arule they are neglected, but Tennessees are firmer and higher. The July bonds of South Carolina are also higher, haying recovered from the suspicion which the re- cent new issue imposed upon them. Georgias are strong, notwithstanding various rumors about the condition of the State finances. STOCKS UP. The stock market to-day exhibits, in a iarge de- gree, the presence of the same “bull’’ clique whose interest it is toadvance prices, Asa record of the actual result they have put prices up; but between holders of stock who are willing to sell from one to gnother itis a matter of very slight moment what prices they make, having determined on a certain figure. We have already mentioned the fact that the cliques own the stock on Wall street. It is to their interest to get rid of what they have as rapidly as possible; but as a condition precedent to their domg so they must make a market. This they are trying to do now.

He leaves wives, 1t 13 stated, in New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburg, Pa., besides a fourty who left his domicile only last Tuesday. It appears this MUCHLY MARRIED LUNATIO, for such he evidently was, occupied three rooms o@ the lower floor of the above house. These were mim erably furnished. Augeustein was a jeweller trade, and worked in the factory of Koementa Co., in Oliver street. The nolghbors state that wife he left in New York was glad to bo rel from him, in consequenge of his mad freaks enurious disposition, Two months ago he marrie® he fourth wife, A NEWARK GIRL. She, too, found it impossible to dwell long wit® him, and ‘on last Tuesday deemed it prudent to leave home. It was his custom to keep a loaded pistol iq his sleeping chamber, and on several occasions, tt ls said, he threatened to shoot her. On Wednes day’ night some o1 the neighbors heard him leclare that he would put 2 period to his existence, fe Kept 118 word, us has aiready been intim' The Javad shot carried away almost the entire his skull, The eorpse presented a frightful earance when found 4 Justice Mills, onary, much to the afsgirst of the god! vs ¢ at (3 Dodd, took chargo, hot only of u maids, but of the man’s effects, and failed to ui the former, who 1s highly indignant (hat his should be invaded in this manner, The railway depot at Westileld, eee beyond #iltaae beth, wus also the scene yesterday morning of ® snocking suicide, Fritz Frazer, auother German, threw himself in front of the locomotive of the Mi o’clock ‘stock train” and deliberately comm suicide. ‘the engineer blew his whistle furiously } backed the train as goon as possible, but sev cars went over the unfortunate man.
