LONG BRANCH RACES. | urth Day of the Summer Meeting. wn Exciting Time at Mon- } mouth Park. xrand Racing in a Delug: ing Rain. file Dash, Two-Mile and Four- Mile Heat Contests. ixperience Oaks the Winner of the First, Salina the Second, and Helmbold the Third Event, Lon@ Brancu, August 4, 1571. Icannot refrain from once more referring to the {rarer crowd that every morning gathers on ard the steamboat Jesse Hoyt en rowte to the races \t Monmouth Park. There is nothing lost in the con- emplation of several hundred men who love the amusement of racing just in that proportion which bf greenbacks they can thus pocket. Atone time you will hear ofa noted enthusiast of this nature, ‘with a face all aglow, saying to a sympatuetic party, “Wasn't that two-mile heat, magnificent? Did you ever see anything like it?’ And then it is dollars to cents that the same enthu- jsiastic gentleman was a winner on the aforesaid icontest, It 18 @ sure thing this conclusion, and should you want to congratulate him and add to his comfort this would be the opportunity, The next morning this same enigma of humanity is noticed sulking and wandering about the boat, with a poor cigar, half chewed, hands in his pockets up to the elbows, ani! every now and then diving into tne | barroom and bracing his shattered nerves with a gin cocktail (make it stiff), and then yon can be just as sure tiis old boy has been a neavy loser the day before. Salute your distinguished friend with a remark sitnilar in nature to that used by himi the morning before, and you are hissed at with “That a good race! Why, the —— rascal chucked that race, the———! Itell you its time to stop ‘such rascality.”” This 1s the nature of some of the men who make betting a profession. The gathering about the pool sellers was very } earnest, and something like a chowder—very much | mixed in its composition, Tommy Johnson’s me- lodious voice 1s stilled, and his genial partner, Oliver L. Marshall, does the heavy business, He shoots tne bids from his zinc-lined throat as a bullet | from a rifle, and you are never required to ask him | the same question twice, as he differs in this respect from Major Johnson, and never “excepts” anything 3n an explanation. Now, everybody in the sporting world that amounts to anyching knows Oliver. He is not an exquisite in dress, nor are bis clothes loose and siouchy, 1 have heard in bis youth he was a hand- some tad and a ladies’ man, as he was 4 fresn-look- ang a8 an apple blossom, but now lis face is covered With massive whiskers that might darken the sun in the street with their shadow, and his ‘“meer- schaum"’ is like @ druggist’s pestle and exquisitely colored. QOiiver is getting along im the years that mark old men, but his heart 1s as light, his disposi- ‘tion justas cheerful and his head as clear now as a score of years ago. He it 1s that owned the clipper Wagram, that in 1862, at Boston, ‘drew an assemblage of beauty ana fashion meyer excelled on the race cour: when he tought ddiewild ana Avalanche 1 a three-mile dash. and @liver to-day loves the sports known among gent!e- anen with a sincerity seldoin equalied, No better man ever siood as Judge in a pigeun match, aud mone more Honorable behind a povi box, His betting friends are numerous, Glancing at the crowd, J see Uncie Jonu Ludlow, who nas emerged from Union Hill and nis game cocks to enjoy the day. Near him is the loudest-mouthed of- Acial ever sent from New York to Albany. That fel- Low wouidu’t stop his noise in tront of a vol 1 cano. A representative from Buil's Head, where they put up the ‘most fearful jobs” dn horsefiesh ever known, stands In the wake of my bawling friend; and again near him, Dut very quiet and reserved this morning, Is ex- Corouer Fiyno, He has iis favorite litle boy by the hand, and the difference in their size 1s that of a aquirrei andacamel. Here also is the eccentric gent that carries ham sandwiches in his hat, and he glares at me peculiarly. He woutd bite if he dared. There you notice a group o! notsy chaps who all talk at onc ud the jar of their voices is juke the crash of china, and you wish that somebody would stat @ mariin spike down each of toeir throats; it would prolong their collective lives. Again, mixing among many quiet gentlemen and @ stray meuber of the Twenty-third regiment, I see respectable looking editious of the contraoand, who aze upon the petting throng with amazement, apd hear one of them exclain: as we make the dock at Sandy Hook and the last pool is sotd:-— “By golly, sum dem gemmen will Kotch it to-day. We, he.” In the second race the betting men were at fever heat, and the pools ran up to an nuoprecedented gure. i have never seen quite as much excitement mong the fraterntry. mach and every one of your Keen sporis felt assured that Dosweil’s colt Bolus ‘would gu the distance and run “like a scared dog” as they had seen him tried at Saratoga, where he eat Morrissey’s Defender, whom John traimed him- self, on London porter and sirloin steaks. On the other hand, many remembered what Salina had aone—run the fastest mite on record at Lexingtoa, fu 1:45. When the bell rang for the jockeys to mount ‘he iawn was deserted and every one quickly sought ‘he grand stand, aud in a moment the extensive gal- leries were filed. The scene was Worth reprodacing oncanyvas, Elegant attires of beautiful ladies were 3n great profusion, ‘There was a hush among the spectators wnen the horses assembled in & group for the first time, ana the peut-up joy at the sight found frequent veut like the quick discharge of artillery. Satna, Baford’s pet, was restive, Mill of grit aad stubborn as 4 Tavored cluid, aud i was a long time before they snoceeded i getting the word. She would vot come up as _aesired for her ace ot spades rider, and ‘the big General, after obtaining permission from the sare went to her, and, with hitle patting and coax- ng, she wenton her mission like an arrow from & bow. On they few, and the buyers that had msked Meir thousands and were in ‘the pool box for a small fortiae smoked cigars and awaited the resuit ‘with nervousness. Generai Buiord, with that old umbrella of his, stood by the picket lence, aud soon I saw his big frame move convulsively, and one lady directly at my side criea aloud, “Salina is ahead! S-a-!-I-n-a is ahead" and, sure enovgh, tho red and white Was shuoting in advance with a stride t made handreds of fair eyes beam with pleasurable pride. Yes, aud she 1s knocking the life ont of that Bolas," suoats a strapping bdig-framed Kentuckian, “Didn't L told yer so? Ob, my! oh. my! Hold me!’ And this excited native from Buford’s State embraced and squeezed in his massive, iron-like arms another irlend of the red and white until ex- hauated, fia, ha! why, she ts flying like a witch; she is eight lengths ahead. O God! tsa’t she the best in te world’’* jerks out another Kentuckian, as the first muc is reached and, like a greyhound from the | slips, Salina enters the second mile. My ol4, noisy political frend now bawis viudic- tively, ¢ the shouze Wolus: he can’t run for sour apples!” And sure enough the favorite was uring and dead Veat. The excitement waxed fearful as the beat ‘was being finished, and when the tilly of Bulord -cantered to (he close of it anu won by nearly ten lengths there were tremendous cheers by her sympathizers and evidences of the deepest luortification on the features of the promi. nent — bettin: men. efore the echo of the = thonsan voices die away among the maples of Wolt Peaks and delicate cam- brics siop their Mutterings im tne ai I step down -ou the lawn and mingle with the professionals. Mutterings are heard on every side, Cigars are chewed convuilsively, and whiskey and water, brandy and sugar Lcan see through the windows ol the barroom being swallowed vehementiy. More than one disappointed talks alona, ana if you lsien attentively there is heard in quick saccession, “The taient is nowhar to-day.” Leone God! If Salina wins the next heat 1 lose ‘Consider it lost, o)4 pard,” sympatiit: ‘and never mind it; you are gone, Sure “Yes, and that’s the last of $75,000 gone the same (pay.

Meanwhile the horses are resting, being scraped and sponged, and now they are again ready for the concluding heat. “Oh, Eolus, can’t you win and save my money,” eries In anguish the one who lias $2,000 risked; and as he utters it the gloomy black clouds open, aud upon stand and course, man, woman and: beast there comes one of the most drenching showers ever | seen in the temperate zone. Even old General Buford and his umbrella disappear. The judges sink ont of sight—batioon jib Bose and the dignitied Anseli find a reiuge; but what of it all? Who cares for the storm? hat if the ladies were suffering martyrdom in huddling together to keep off the ramr Who minds the deluge—the horses are away ! But to see them isan impossibility, The spray from the storm is as impenetrabie as a volume of steam, and you don’t know where your favorite in the race is, You soon find out, however. At the old clipping suride here comes red and white to the front, aud = “Boius,”? as my Kentuckian neighbor called him, is beaten dead, Still pours the deluge. ‘the hills are covered with a leaden gauze, and you ook in vain for any Ararat in the skies. Splash, dash, in (he mud go the horses, and in another mo- ment the end tas come. You wonder if the riders are while or black, but that speculation 1s goon dts- missed, as behind you are four or five Salina men kicking each other's shins in sheer delight over her great victory, The clouds break, fora time the storm 1s over, and first on the lawn, now like a river, comes old Ansell, aud following him at ms heeis his former employer, General Buford. The one looks with ten- der eyes at his once precious charge, and the latter is desirous of ascertaining how she stood the test. It ts satisfactory, no doubt, for I see Buford smile, and that smile is significant. Thus terminated a gallant race, and soon the fortunate and unforta- nate so far as it was concerned were forgotten in the four mile heat race, streaks of gold slanted across the track as the horses were saddled tor this event, and the bright and sparkling colors of the riders were in great contrast to the mud inches deep. There was but litle waiting, and really there is but eys behind the easy winner Helmbold were blinded with the mua which his nimple feet swang into their faces. The silken costumes were the color of the swash beneath them, and two inches or the slush stuck to thelr features, and you wondered what they looked like. [ cannot think of any comparison. One with the smalipox would ap- pear decently beside them. They were wretche forlorn, The jockey ol Helmbold enjoyed to the full- est extent the defeat and confusion of his oppo- nents, as when the horses waiked to the stand at the iinish of the race I saw bis mouth extended and he bubbled all over in silent iaughter. It was to him a great satisfaction. ‘The attendance was extremely satisfactory, and had itnot been for the storm, one of the greatest racing days this or any other country bas ever seen, would have been intenzely enjoyed. At quarter past three o’clock the amusement was over, and the assemblage left the track in @ second edition of the deluge, and as last evening slipped away into eter- nity, the track at Monmouth Park was just as miser- able as it conld well be; but sunshine and care will in ail probability bring It out right for the sport of to-morrow, which promises to be of the first order. THE RACING. A bill of fare was offered yesterday, the tike of which was never presented before to American turf- men, but it was spoiled by a storm. Tnere was on the card a mile dash for two-year olds, two mile heats for three-year-old colts and fillies, and four- mule heats for all ages. The first race was run in capital style and gave great satisfaction to the win- ners. Then followed the first heat of the second race. but immediately afterwards there came down rain in torrents that deluged the track and com- pletely hid the horses from view while they were running the second heat. This threw a damper on everything, The track was flooded, the stands drenched and the four-mile heat race was spolled, as Helmbold distanced the field the first heat, and this terminated the antictpated great event of the meeting. ‘The first race was for the Angust stakes, for two- year old colts and fillies, the distance one mile. For this there were only fourteen entries, only four of which came to the post. These were C. 0. & R. H. Parks’ brown filly Experience Oaks, by Bonnie Scotland; A. Buford’s chestnut filly Malita, py Marion, dam Susan Harris; H. P. MeGratn’s bay colt Richard Roe, by Tipperary, dam Greek Slave, and M. H. Sandford’s chestnut filly by King Lear, caw by Scythian. Malita was the favorite in the pool sales, Richard Roe the second choice, white Expert- ence Oaks had ten to one against her, She wona capital race in excellent time, Malita second, and Richard Roe third. The second race was for the Robins stakes, for three-year-old colts and filles, two mile heats, and out of tweaty-two entries but four came to the post, ‘These were General Buford’ bay filly Salina, by Lexington, dam Lightsome; H. P. McGrath’s chest- nut colt McKinney, by War Dance, dam Roxanay c.C. & R.H. Parks’ brown colt Nathan Oaks, by Bonnie Scotland, dam by Lexington, and Thomas W. Doswell's bay colt Eolus, by Leamington, dam fanny Washington, ‘The latter was a great favorite over the ficld, some outside bets being made on hum at 100 to 30. Salina woo the race in the most hollow style, and the favorite was the last horse In the race. ‘The backers of Eolus fell heavily. ‘The four mile heat race then followed, with four starters. These were W. k, Babcock’s chestnut horse Helmbold, by etre, dam Lavender; Joho Coffee's chestnut colt Judge urell, by Lexington, dam Laura: H. P, McGrath’s bay filly Susan Ann, by Lexington. dam Roxana, and John Boaghrum's black gelding Gerald, by Mickey Free, dam Rosette. Woen the horses started the track was in the most horrible condition for racing, it being more than fet- lock deep in slush and mud. Heimbold, proving the strongest and most speedy horse in the race, suc- ceeded in distancing the field in the first heat, which terminated the sports of the day. The following are the details of the ranning as it progressea:— THE FIRST RACE. Tre Avacet Stars; value $500, added to a sweepstakes of $50 each, play or Day, for two-year- old colts and filltes; the winner of the Thespian Stakes to carry five pounds extra; the second horse to receive $200 and the tuird $100 out of tne stakes; one mile.

Malita took the lead as the tap of the drum, Rich- ard Roe second, Experience Uaks third, the Kin; Lear filly fourin. Going co the upper turn Richard Roe ran to the front, Matita second, Experience Uaks third, the King Lear dily fourth. When they reached the quarter pole Richard Roe led two lengths, Malita second, three lengts in front of Ex- pertence Oaks, the latter being three lengths atiead of the King Lear filly. Cota own the backstretch Richard Roe led three lengths, Malita second, four Jengths in fron. of Experience Oaks, the latter three Jengihs ahead of the King Lear flily. At the half- mile pole Ricnard Roe led four lengths, but he be- gan to shorten his stride at_ that point. ‘Malita was second, one length abead of Experience Oaks, who Was three lengths abeaa of the King Lear dilly. Going around the lower turn Experience Oaks made her ran and Richard Roe began to qu t, and as they en- tered the homestretch Malita Jed a length, Richard Roe and Experience Oaks side and side, with the King Lear filly taree lengths behind. The race then resoived itself Into a contest between Experience Gaks and Mallta, and they had a head and head straga@le to the stand, Experience Oaks winning by a lengih, Malita second, three Jengtus im front of Richard Roe, who was four Jengths in tront of the King Lear filly. ‘Time of the dash, 1:48, THE SECOND RACE. ‘THE ROBINS STAKES; value $1,000, added to a sweepstake of $50 each, play or pay, for three-year- old colts and flues; the second to receive $200 | third $100 out of the stakes; two mile heats, A.

Going around the lower turn Salina still increasea the gap, and not until General Buford, who was down the stretch, stopped the mare as she came up toward him, was she taken in hand, There is no doubt t had the filly been allowed to run home at the .rate she had been run- ning she would have dropped the flag tn the face of one or two, and probably the whole of her followers, She won, 1n a hand galop, by eight lengths, Eolus second, eight lengths ahead of dicKinney, who was eight ee in front of Nathan Oaks. ‘Time of the heat, 3:4034.

A Brilliant Game on the Union Base Ball Grounds—The Williamsburg Pets Defeat the Bostons—The Latter Dissatisfied—Anoiher Game To-Day—Yoesterday’s Score 6 to 4. ‘The game on the Union Grounds yesterday after- noon between the Boston *Red Stockings” and the Eckfords did not attract more than about eighteen hundred persons, very many remaining away on account of the threatening appearance of the ‘Weather in tne early part of the afternoon. The contest, however, was indeed a fine one, and its result undoubtedly astonished many of the ad- mirers of the Bostonians, on whom they had Wagered at odds of two to one. George Wright played in his old position yesterday, but his lame- ness caused Lim to lose several chances of putting players out. At precisely half-past three o’clock game was called, with the Bostons at che bat and Mr. Sweezy, of the Olympic Club, of Washington, as umpire. On this occasion the Eckforus made ANOTHER CHANGE, this time sending Neilson to centre fleld and putting Shelly at third base, and this new order of things seemed to ve benelicial. By a pardonable error on the part of Hicks the “Keds” managed to score a single ran in the first inning, while the Eckforas, by virtue of two errors made by Spaulding, scored two, In the second inning oidswortn bv a wild throw to first base gave the visitors two runs, aud the Kekfords being disposed of for a plank the score stood 8 to 2in favor of Boston. In this inning McVey and Barnes played A VERY FINE POINT against Swandell, which was the means of prevent- ing his scoring a rap for bis sue. He was on third base and Martin was oo first, and when Martin started for second McVey threw the bail to Barnes ostensibly for the purpose of putting Martin out, but really to get Swan- dell to try to run in, when he would be put out onthe home plate. Swandell, who was oft course very anxious to score a run, Started as soon as the ball bad left McVey’s hand, never noticing for & Moment that Barnes had run ap nearly to the pitcher's position, and the result was ‘that the ball passed back to McVey ugain before he (Swandeil) could get home, ‘The third, fourth and fifth innings cach resulted in a blank for both sides, and the only play worthy of especial mention in either of them was A BRILLIANT RUNNING FLY CATCH by Cone tn left fleid during the fourth. In the sixth inning each party score’ a single run, which still left Boston ahead, bué in the seventh tran the Eckfords, after disposing of the visitors for a blank, managed to add two more runs to their score, which are them the lead by one run. At this point of the proceedings rain commenced falling most copiousiy, which necessitated the sus- pension of the game for about five minutes, at the expiration of which time it was continued to the end.

The game will commence at haif-past three, and will no doubt be quite as well and as evenly contested as was the one yesterday.

Frtpay, August 4—6 P, M. THE WHOLE STORY of the Wall street markets to-day can be told in a very few lines, Money 1s easy at previ Governments are firm, Stocks strong. Southern securities quiet. Foreign exchange unchanged, Examining more closely there are, of course, some POINTS OF INTEREST deserving of notice. Thus tn the gold market !t may be observed that speculation has almost ceased, All the sales to-day were either at 1124 or 11243. This figure, or up to about 112%, appears to represent the extreme figure ofthe premium on the bull side; hence, although cash gold has been made scarce for delivery, 80 as to earn three per cent tuterest, it has not advanced the price of coin even up to this limit, On the other side a margin is open to 110, but be- yond that there is very little encouragement to go “short.” In the present relation of the imports and customs dues, with the specie movement abroad, there is no disposition vo anticl pate this possible tendency.

THE GOVERNMENT LIST is atti, but largely negiected. The old bonds con- unue to be scarce, and, excepting 67's, very few of the issues are obtainable fordelivery. A state- ment appeared this afternoon in THE YELLOW SLIP, tothe effect that it was presumable Mr, Boutwell would shortly cancel the interest on the five-twen- ties of 1864, or, in other words, call them in for re- demption. Mr. Boutwell may perhaps do so, under five years’ option, which is extremely un- likely, and will be without any authority of law. Critical reading of the Public Credit act shows that ne is thereby restrained from such redemption until such time as he can exchange dol- Jar for dollar ‘a bond bearing a lower rate of inter- est’ tor those he redeems. His actual par sales of the new five per cents have not reached such a figure as to make it any object for him to initiate such a policy.
