AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB RACES, ——- ——— Second Day of the Spring Meeting. —__+— | | A Lovely Day and a Large Attendance. i Rs al Scenes on the Road, in the Stands and | on the Course. FIVE CAPITAL RACES. Victoria the Winner of the Ladies’ Stakes, Alroy the Jockey Club Handicap Sweepstakes, Alarm the Mile and a Quarter, Midday the Mile and Three-Quarters and McIntosh the Steeple Chase. One of the great features of the Jerome Park | races is the ride thither and back, not on the cars, but behind either a spanking team ora good steady ‘trotter that can hold his or her own with the caval- cade that sweeps along the well known rpads. Of course, the ride as far as the Park must be looked upon as a sort of preliminary purgatory, owing to the frequent rallroad tracks, so obnoxious to a spider-wheeled wagon, the unpleasant dust cart, | the loud voiced merchant of a fruit vehicle, the un- | limited objurgations of street car drivers, the tardy | old lady who insists upon making a Juggernaut of | your turnout, that “Pelion upon Ossa” arrange. | ment of beer barrels from some brewery or hay from some out of town farm, or the illegal proceed- ings of some building contractor, who throws piles of bricks right in your way. But once into | the Park, the scene is delightful. A pavement smooth as glass, a whirlwind of wheels, revealing at intervals glimpses of lovely faces and rich toilets; an occasional remonstrance, in unmistak- able Hibernian tones, from some gray-coated po- licemen, to attend to the “seven miles an hour’ rule; vistas at every turn of dense glades, silvery ponds, far-reaching carpets of green and a bew!ll- dering maze of well-gravelled paths, and the sound of merry voices constantly ringing in the ear, make the Park on such an occasion a scene of fairy- land. Then out on the Boulevard, that magnificent monument of metropolitan greatness, with verdant hills behind you and innumerable vehicles around you; a dash through “the lane” and a brush skirting Harlem River and its wooded heights until the wooden structure Known as Macomb's Dam bridge ts reached. Here | you take breath and admire the panorama of beauty spread out on either side, A dash through Central avenue beyond brings you to the Mecca of American pleasure seekers, the now famed Serome Park. Armed with a club badge, you turn from the avenue and take the sinuous winding road that leads to the club entrance. A darky rushes up, his inky face glowing with excitement, and you relinquish your panting team. into his hands. | If you are not at least an hour in advance of the time for the first race, | three o'clock P. M., the chances are that the team will have to take “pot luck” under the trees behind the Club House, the stables and sheds being already filled. Such is one of the most pleasant Teminiscences of a visit to Jerome Park. Coming home the scene is even more interesting, as there is an unbroken stream of equipages of all kinds, from the pretentious four-in-hand down to the fragile sulky, which the French, with the in- imitable wit belonging to that nation, call deso- dligeante. N. B.—A man must travel alone in one of these affairs. Every one wants to get home as soon as possible, and certainly sooner than his neighbor. Therefore there is many a trial of speed and many a shout of encouragement, interrupted only by those visits to the Chappaqua caravanseries by the wayside that seem to claim no small share of attention. On the way home there is invariably a “queue” to be found on the Westchesver side of Macomb's Dam bridge, which often is a half mile in length. Here some funny scenes occur. Some ambitious youth, in all the bravery of store clothes, with his girl beside | him, in a livery stable wagon, wishes | to show that independence of spirit so dear to | the heart of every American citizen. He accord- ingly disdains the “queue” and boldly dashes ahead. The result is arush of half a dozen-frantic policemen, an interchange of uncomplimentary remarks, a great flourish of clubs and a discon- solate wagon wending its way back to the end of | the long line, AT THE CLUB HOUSE yesterday there were many celebrities of the me- tropolis congregated. The ladies were particularly charming in their elegant toilets, and the gentle- men were divided in their attention to their fair companions and their pecuniary interest in the races, Among those present we observed Mr. Leonard Jerome, Mr. Constable, Judge Munson, Mr. and Mrs. Pettie, Mr. Golet and son, Mr. and Mrs. Duvally, Miss Nelson, of Eighty-fourth street; Colonel Quincy, Mrs. Lelestin, Miss Smith, Miss ne eXx-Mayor Gunthe: William Schell, Hosea B. Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. Ackermann, Mr. and Mrs. William Parkes, of Brook- lyn; Miss Kate Parkes, Mrs. Charles O’Conor, Mr. Sherwood, Miss Clarke, of Yonkers; Hon. Clarkson N. Potter, Mr. W. Olliffe and the Misses Ollitte, Mr. ©. W. Bathgate, Mr. Motley, Mr. Cecil, Mr. George | Davids, Mr. James W. Miller, and Mr. De Groot, of Westchester; Mr. Louis Engel, Mr. Trarers, Mr, Belmont, Mr. and Mrs. Beecher, Mr. Raymond, Mr. John F. Cole, ex-Manager of the Grand Opera | House; Mr. Theodore Moss and family, Mr. | McDaniel, Mr. Beresford and Mr. Cameron. THE TOILETS OF THE LADIES were, in many cases, miracles of the modiste's art.

Pretty gloved hands now aud then hold up shining opera glasses and gaze with evanescent Interest upon the moving sieeds; but the sensation laste only a minute or two, and ladies and cavaliers speedily subside into the more serious business of praising the beauty of the landscape, or passing Judgment upon the latest fashions, or per- haps even of indulging in a little harmless tlirta- uon, But ON THE QUARTER STRETCH and in its neighborhood the race, and the race lone, engrosses the interest of the crowds who | there ‘most do congregate.’ In the centre of the | Grand Stand, Phe there are «couple of par- titions which are enlivened by the presence and | the dresses ot the fair sex, but it is the corner to | the right where most people gather together and | where all who love sport for the sake of sport alone tind thelr most congenial sphere of enjoyment, | And there are certainly no ladies there!

As they stand together you can pi out the society sheep from the society goats with unerring accuracy, nor do you need to be told by some omniscient mentor that yonder man with the brown mustache and the yellow kid gloves keeps a “hell’? on Broadway, or that the little fat man with the dirty nails, who is so furiously chewing tobacco, figured a few months ago in a | disreputable piece of jockeying on a certain pro- | vinclal track. Little, however, apparently, does | the stout, trimly-dressed little gentleman who is | selling the pools care about the social status of his customers, There he stands. “Doc Underwood," a name known all over the Union, with the same red necktie, and keen, quick- glancing eye and lungs of steel and cheery vein of | never-ceasing chaff that have challenged attention | all of us were many, many years | r than we are now.

One hundred, five, ten, twenty, fifty, and so on up to four or five hundred, as was the case once yesterday, a thousand and fifty dollars, You stare In vain around you for the bidders. Now and then you may detect a man making a slight nod, but not often, and scarcely ever do you hear the faintest murmur of assent, Hard work indeed must the cheerful little man_ have of it, as he thus rattles along like a sort of intermediate agent or middieman of Fortune, making arrange- ments for the transfer of thousands and thousands of dollars from one pocket to another, and taking an honestly earned commission, 0! course, for his trouble. Every accepted bid is noted down fn hls book and the maker thereof forthwith jostles through the crowd to the desk where sits the clerk with his pool tickets and cashbox, and prcdnoing, his wallet Anaily hands over his green- backs into the custody of Fate. Thus the “fun of the fair’ goes merrily along until the bell rings to call the horses on the track, and there is at once a stampede of the greater part of the crowd to the ralleries in the grand stand, a few faithful sports, however, still remaining, who bid until the steeds have almost started. | BEFORE THE START.

DR. HUSTON. The Suspended Pastor on Trial for Violating the Moral Code. Proceedings ” the Court—The Defendants mo tion to Quash Overruled—The Testir the Defence Attacked by a “a Mary Driscoll Repeats Her Story of Crime—A Breeze Raised in Court by Her Mother—A Tale Told in a Convincing Manner. Ba.timone, June 5, 187% The Ecclesiastical Court for the trial of Rev. Dr. Huston, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, for alleged violation of the moral code with lady members of his congregation, reassembled yester- day morning, after a week's intermission, at the little parsonage of the Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, on Biddle street, in this city. The Court was called to order at ten o'clock, and, with prayerful preliminaries, was organized for the day's Work. Just before the adjournment iast week a motion had been submitted by Dr. Huston's counsel to quash all further Proceedings and let the matter go to the Conference for final adjudica- tion, declaring that the prosecution had utterly failed to sustain the case. As soon as the Court was organized yesterday morning the Presiding Elder said this motion had been considered and would be denied, and that the case would proceed, Dr. Huston’s counsel then made an offer to sub- mit the case where it now’stands, contending that the other charges were so undefined that it would be impossible to cover them by*any decent range of investigation, and that the charge of seduction, if sustained, was sufficient, and if it was not sua- tained the other charges fell, because they all de- pended upon the trath of that charge, This offer was considered and refused by the prosecution; but after much discussion it was agreed to reduce all the remaining charges into one and define it in two specifications, naming days and dates, so that it could be covered by proof. THE CHARGE OF CONTINUED ILLICIT INTRRCOURSR with the young girl who brought the charge of se- duction only remains now to be considered, and the investigation will then probably close. The young girl, Mary Driscoll, went upon the stand to- day to detail the circumstances of her alleged amours with this accused reverend, No witnesses of. importance were examined yea- terday, as it was nearly all spent in considering the motions submitted by the defendant’s counsel. THE PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY. From the proceedings yesterday It was believed that the trial would be closed to-day, so far as the taking of evidence was concerned, and there was a large attendance at the parsonage on Biddle street-— the former residence of Dr. Huston, when pastor of Trinitv Methodist Episcopai church, South—of those who were immediately interested in the result of the trial. The little parlor, in which it is alleged all the sin charged to the accused reverend was com- mitted, was well filled with ladies who were the main supporters of the prosecution, either as wit- nesses or sympathizers with those who came to tell of the Doctor's misdoings. But few gentlemen were present, and the ladies amused themselves by dis- cussing the probable result of the trial. The HERALD: writer was peace for a short time, it having been stated that he was to be called upon to state some of the facts in relation to the interview with Dr. Huston and the young girl who preferred the charge of seduction published in the HERALD some time ago; but that part of the case having been abandoned, he was not called. A POLICEMAN WAS CALLED tothe stand. He testified that Fuller Loane, a wit- ness for the defence, who swore that he saw Mary Driscoll in an assignation house six months before she claims to nave been seduced by Dr. Huston, was a wild, fast young man. After him Sam, the colored individual who watches over the door of the court room, was called to testity to the fact that young Loane told him that he did not know any- seine about the girl, Mary Driscoll. After Sam had testified MARY DRISCOLL WAS CALLED, the young girl who brought the charge of seduction against Dr. Huston and the charge of continued illicit Intercourse that is now being tried. A young girl, bd trey sixteen or seventeen years of age, responded to the call, She was neatly dressed in a full suit ‘of black and wore a natty sailor's hat. The cut of her garments was that of a school- girl who was about to leave school and take on the full paraphernalia of a woman, half way between a short and long dress. She is about medium height and has a well rounded form and easy carriage ; a full, round face, lit up by a pair of large black eyes, and a beautiful supply of black hair op ogee the description. She took a seat as soon as she entered the room, and, at the request of the Prosecuting Attorney, Dr. Gardner, at once proceeded with her statement, which she gave ina clear, calm tone, free from embarrassinent. She stated that SHE VISITED DR. HUSTON ON THANKSGIVING DAY, 1870, two months after he seduced her, in the even- Ing at eight o'clock, by his request, and there being some one in the parlor with him when she arrived, he told her as he opened the door for her, to run up stairs in the front bedroom, the very one in which the Court now sits, which she did, and, after waiting for some fifteen minutes, the visitor was dismissed and Dr. Huston came up, and as he locked the door of the bedroom after him he said to her “THERE ISN'T A SOUL BESIDE YOU AND I in the house.” That he then began the endear- ments that culminated in her further shame. She stated that he had done these nee with her seve- ral times before this, and that he had advised her to allow such importunities to be taken by other men; that she had gone with him to disreputable houses and there been the victim of his attentions. She also stated that twice he had TAKEN HER TO THE HOUSE OF LUCY, his negro servant, in East Baltimore, where other sins had been added to the already thickly studded calendar, according to her account. She gave the accounts of these visits minutely, weaving in all the details and incidents connected therewith. She stated that last summer, while he was attending camp meet- ing a few miles from the city, he had left: his min- isterial labors upon some pretence or other and come home to enjoy her society; that twice dur- ing the same season of camp meeting had he done so, and that at each of these times the same dwell- ing in which this reckoning is now taking place, then his residence, was the SCENE OF THEIR CRIMINAL CONDUCT. She then detailed other instances in which she alleged the accused Reverend had been the cause of her sinning, and related many little incidents of “loving bypiay” between them ‘during the season between the camp meeting time and the final awful shame that come to her when the ‘Joseph,”’ Gainor, told her teacher of her misdoings. During her direct as well as the cross-examination she de- clined to respond to several questions that were fo) to her, when they were not in accordance with ner ideas of justice or propriety. TESTIMONY OF MRS. DRISCOLL. Her mother succeeded her and raised a consider. able breeze before she left, which it was hard to calm down. She is a middle-aged lady, about medium height, with a full, round face, black eyes, and hair of the same color. She was neatly dressec in a sait of black silk, and wore a dark crape bon- net, At the first question asked her she forgot the warning of the secretary to go slow and went on to tell what she knew, Without waiting for the secretary to duly record her remarks, and when the presiding elder undertook to admonish her that she must take {¢ easy she jared that she woutl tell her story in her own way, and she did it, The poor woman seemed YULL OF HER TERRIBLE SORROW, and, no further objection hae made to her pro. coved e told the story of her daughter's al- jeged wrongs with great emphasis. She knew ver: ittle about the major part of her daughter's testi- my, except what she had told her; bat that she , filing in her personal knowledge of the minor points of that story with singular rapidity and ac- curacy. When she left the stand the Court ad- journed until to-morrow morning at ten, having been in session eight hours, THE END DRAWING NEAR. Only one or two witnesses are yet Co be examined, by the prosecution, and they are of no great import- ebee, and it is expected the defence will finish to~ merrow or early next day, when the case will gO before the committee for its judgment. Whatever < may be the resnit here, the final verdict must be migated by the Annual Conference, when tt’ meets next March. Dr. Huston’s friends are stilk sanguine that he will be acquitted, while his accus- ers are equally confident that he will be convicted, re Is A great deal of feeling on both sides, and the Interest in the trial remains unabated, if it is bot becoming more intense as the trial draws to a close, The evidence for the defence to-morrow, ba the charges before the Court to-day, will be great tinportance, and will be looked for with eager miterest.
