AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB RACES, Third Day of the Spring Meeting. A GALA DAY AT JEROME PARK Grand Display of Toilets and Equipages. Scenes, Incidents and Opinions on the Quarter Stretch. FOUR CAPITAL RACES. i. E. Sanford’s Australian Colt the Winner of the Mile and a Quarter Race, Tubman of the Mile and Three-Quarters, Harry Bas- sett of the Westchester Cup, and Lochiel of the Hurdle Race. ‘The third day of the Spring meeting of the Ameri- can Jockey Club, notwithstanding the threatening weather which acted so disreputably on Friday Right, and which flung ominous clouds across the ‘sky ye} ‘erday, was as brilliant and successful as any of! ts predecessors for many seasons. Even the 4s, and to all appearance they were not in the ority, were irresistably attracted to Jerome Park by the announcemen: of the great race for the ‘Westchester Cup, and the merits of Harry Bassett and Littleton were fully discussed. The bluff out- side the course, fringing Central avenue, was crowded so that very little, if any, sitting room was Jeft. ‘The Grand Stand had also a considerable re- presentation of ladies and gentlemen and the piazzas of the Club House were crowded to excess, On the beautiful sward at the foot of the bluff on which the Cinb House is situated numerous picnic parties enjoyed themselves ana the green was dotted with gay toilets and beaming faces. Phaeton, that reckless son of old Sol, who ts popularly supposed to run the flery team that courses daily from east to west, put on an extra “spurt”! yesterday and sent down such a torrent of heat from his fying wheels that respiration became difficult and earthly coursers became wet with per- spiration, Friday night all but quenched the an- ticipations and aspirations of even the most enthu- siastic turfites, Oh! what a sad fellow this clerk of the weather is, He grumbled and roared in thun- der tones on the night preceding the race, so that a friend (this is in confidence), fast asleep as he was, jumped out of bed at the bidding of Heaven’s artil- fery and actually indulged in a sonam- bulistic walk-around before his affrighted wife work him up, And what a time this meteorological potentate had yesterday. Why, every cloud, and there were lots of them, seemed to be a Celestial furnace, and poor humanity eweated fearfully in consequence. That delicious breeze which poets say wanders on such occasions from icebergs, thousands of miles away, but which te tempered by our “sweet South breathing o’er banks of violets,” did not put in an appearance yesterday. On the contrary, the sun was never more flerce and sultry, nor was horsefleshdom ever more suffering. In fact, every horse was in a pur- gatorial state on the road, and the “sponge” boys on the road were in unusual demand, AT THE CLUB HOUSE there was a host of celebrities. Among them we goticed Mr, Leonard Jerome, Mr. Constable, Mr. Golet and son, Mr. and Mrs. Duvally, Miss Nelson, of Eighty-fourth street; Colonel Quincy, Mrs. Le- Jestin, Miss Smith, Miss Kirby, ex-Mayor Gunther, William Schell, Hosea B, Perkins, Mr. and Mrs Ackermann, Mr. and Mrs. William Parkes, of Brook- yn; Miss Kate Parkes, Mrs. Charles O’Conor, Mr. Sherwood, Miss Clarke, of Yonkers; Hon. Clarkson N. Potter, Mr. W. Olliffe and the Misses Olliffe, Mr. C. W. Bathgate, Mr. Motley, Mr. Cecil, Mr. George Davids, Mr. James W. Miller and Mr. De Groot, of Westchester ; Mr. Travers, Mr. Belmont, Mr. and Mrs. Beecher, Mr. Raymond, Mr. John F.

Motley, Colonel Joline, Mr. Elisha Brooks, Mr. and Mrs. Busby, “Pop” Perrin, Simeon Leland, Miss Despan, of Boston ;. Miss E.eanor Leland, Miss Emma Clarke, Mr. Bills, of Yonkers; Mr. Denton Pearsall and Miss Pearsall, Senator James O'Brien and wie, Mr. John Cecil, Colonel Chalpin, of Fort Washiagton, Mr. Beekman, Jordan L. Mott, Captain Phiiip Maher, Miss Alice Donahue, Hon. Timothy Campbell, Mr. William Butler Duncan, Alderman Healey, Mr. Lawrence Jerome, Mr. James Nolan, Mr. Jotn Harper, Mr. A. J. Raymond and family, Mr. Furdy, Mr. Withers and Mr. Sanford. THE TOILETS OF THE LADIES wert exceedingly interesting, as some of the most artiitic specimens of the modiste’s art might have bees seen at the Club House and on the Grand Stand. There were, unhappily, some of those horrible things calkd Dolly Vardens there to mar the scene, but they were few and far between. A distingué toilet of the lightest shade of bronze gos grain had a demi-train skirt, trimmed to the waist in the back with overlapping flounces of wedium width, disposed in box plaits, and the front gnamented with a complicated flounce, hall a yard feep, disposed in broad double box platts, hterspersed with bows of the material. A ira) on apron, finished on the edge with ather large scallop: falling over handsome Mack lace, was carried k in leche ends, which were tied in the back at the waist line. The 301 was round in the back, the front forming rather deep points opening over a short vest. Plowing sleeves and lingerie of point lace. Bonnet a chip, trimmed with bronze color and rose ink. A briliiant branette seemed the embodiment of she spirit of the scene, robed ina deep blue silk ress, trimmed with white and black lace, a gay varriage wrap, in which gold and scarlet predomi- aated, artistically yet carelessly thrown round the ‘gure, the animated face shaded by the most soquettish hat in the world, ornamented with scar- et cactus blossoms and buds, with the deep, green eaves, the white groundwork o/ the hat imparting © them additional brilliancy. Exquisite taste was displayed in the arrangement bf the toilet worn by a graceful blonde, whose anl- mated countenance evidenced the interest she took in the scene. It was of soft gray silk, in com- oination with Sea blue crepe de chine, the two materials forming alternate ramies on the back the demi-train skirt, reaching to the waist and inished on each side by festoons sustained by blue bows. The entire Aird was composed of alternate folds of crépe de chine and silk, dotted with smail ws.

Bonnet of the ‘ame materials as the dress, trimmed with pink Oase and white lace. A piquant little beauty was attired in a bewitch- foi jet of silk, in one of the new shades of green,* ih @ delicate shimner over it; the skirt one nags of ruffles, edged with small scallops, falling ver biack lac e over garment was of a iovel design, short in the back, but very Jong a front, and edged to match the flounces, Marie Antoinette” fichu of black lace formed a andsome accompaniment to the corsage. The oquettish gipeey wus of white chip, trimmed with in Jace an ‘arland of leaves, charming toliet was arranged with 4 skirt of pulard, the ground of a delicate dove-color, dotted vith sprays of forget-me-nots.

Gving the effect of a plain, round Bau, to which e toilet he skirt was attached by looping only. was completed by a jaunty gypsy of white chip, trimmed with sprays of forget-ine-nots and a scart of gray crépe de chine. | A unique toilet, remarkable for the pination of the colors, was in two sh ler silk—one with the pink tinge and the other vith a blue shade, These were combined in the feathered ruchings and fringe which formed the culiar com- les of laven- tarniture, The underskirt was in the pakee: shade, rimmed with the blue, and the distingué casaque rranged in the opposite manner. The etfect en amai was artistically carried out through the ‘hole toilet, and would be accounted a decided iccess by all who affect striking novelties. A fawn-colored silk robe, worn by @ matron), fly, had the ekirt quite plain, finished on the bot- min broad scallops resting ona band of white quetterie. The basque, trimmed with black lace, 18 velled by an exquisitely fine Chantilly lace awl, draped from the shoulders.

As the horses came out, swathed in blankets, every one had scenatning to . ‘There goes Elsie,’ quoth a genuleman in white Greeley hat, ‘and she’s as stale as ditch- water.” ‘He's a fool,” retorted quietly an- other gentleman, also in a Greeley hat, just behind him; ‘it’s pre. certain he don’t know much about it; ys he’s as fresh as flowers in May.” And so with the rest of the horses. If opinions could have won the race, and this may be said of every race that was run, not single house stated but hadhis particular friend who believed from the depths of their innermo: soul that he would ce! win, and who ex- plained his subsequent defeat by some such fortui- tous circumstance as the heaviness of the track, or tne stupidity of the jockey, or the defects of his training, or perhaps even the pecullarities of the betting, ich remot that he should be beaten in order that the professional betting men shouldn’t be d. The process of reliev- ing the horse from his adventitious sur- roundings of blankets was watched with intense anxietv. and as the horse, during the pre- liminaries of bei — eaddied and mounted, curveted round, @ thousand tongues and braii ere ready to trace victory or dvfeat in every gesture. “He's as peevish as & three-year-old baby,” sald one gen- tieman; ‘he’s eee: x: his strength, and that infernal jockey haan’ Rot he, sense to humor him into a good temper. 7, if I had him I'd just stroke his neck and keep the rein free, and in two jerks of a lamb’s tall he would be aa quiet asa mouse.’ Then, what indignation, deep and fierce, reeted each unfortunately vain attempt at a start! ‘here were the horses mo’ anxiously around, but defying every endeavor to get them into an ap- proximate straight line, and a hundred yards or 80 ahead was the man with the red square danger flag held provokingly up in the light summer breeze, while ten thousand eyes looked eagerly on, and were cheated time after time of what they eagerly expected—a final start. And what smothered curses greeted the poor wretch of a fookes, who, fugging and pulling at the reins of steed, fails to bring him back, except after re- peated and desperate efforts, to the appointed starting place! But at last, on the principle that there is an end to everytl , the horses get off nearly together, and the drops, and the race is positively begun. en every neck is strained eagerly lorward and opera glasses are hurriedly brought into request, and the reporters become unnaturally quiet, and i ere) public gazes on breathless and ‘absorbed. re is not a sound to be heard allover the course until some point is reached where there 18 @ hard struggle be- tween the leading steeds, and even then the shouts last but a moment and seem strangely earnest and eager. “Yellow and black is ahead!’ cries one sanguine idiot to your right; ‘two to one on yellow and black!” Butthere are no takers; every one who has brought money to bet has long since in- vested it at the current odds, Then there is another — silent ause, and after half a minute of constantly, rising interest the homestretch is reachea, and the horses strain them- selves for a last terrible struggle. “Black and ma- genta wins in a walk,” shouts an enthusiastic cockney, whose brain is inflamed with memories of the “Darby” and the “Two Thousand Guineas.” And the cockney 1s right. Running neck and neck, the jockeys whipping and spurring with relentless cruelty, the horses come speecing in, until at about ahundred yards from the final wire line that stretches, like a veritable thread of destiny, across the track, one of them frantically spurts ahead and is rewarded with vehement cheers. One ‘moment more passes by, but lash and steel fail to bring the losing steed to the front, and his rival rushes in past the goalamid a perfect frenzy of applause. ‘Then the race is over, and men hast settle up counts, and after @ congratulatory visit to the bar, stroll up and down the quarterstretch, and look happy or miserable, as the fates have used them, hop! ne ‘still to retrieve their fortune in some coming event Such is a specimen contest at Jerome Park, and while it agrees with racing events all the world over in certain general features, it is certainly very different in others from Ascot or the Grand Prix de Paris. Nowhere do you find the same recklessly heavy betting, and while no one ge oeogl loses more than he can at a pinch al |, there 1s not, on the other hand, the same beggarly gambling in pennies and quarters, Ifa man bets at all he bets # dollar—the unit of American currency—and if he can’t manage to put up a decent stake he stays out of the contest altogether. This is a significant indication of American common sense; and, per- haps, @ race course is as & place as Wallstreet in which to study out our national character. Bt larly American also is the democratic free- dom that prevails on the quarterstretch. Here it is that all classen meet on @ common level— reget and bankers, actors and lawyers, journal- ts and liquor saloon keepers, stockbrokers not rgymen, but at any rate— we can r, det 8 OF cl en. perhaps, there would be some little say frequent “cutting” amon; and—no, John Jones has figured in the prize ring or Mr. Rob- inson sold sheep's hearts in Washington Market ? Are they not men and brethren and American citi- sens and sports at the same time? And shall we, even though we do annually buy a pew at auction in Plymouth church, refuse to recognize them on this common jegaine ground? Perish the thought! Let us rather shake hands and exchange bets and try to win their money. THE RACING. The track looked like @ bed of mortar rightly mixed, and as a consequence fast time was not looked for nor was it made, A number of horses that were entered for the several races on the card were withdrawn for fear of accident, but those that started met with no mishap except those that were beaten, and they performed their several tasks sat- isfactorily to the spectators. There were four events announced to come off, the first being for a purse of $600 for fhree-year-olds, with penalties for previous winnings. There were four entries, comprising M. H. San- ford’s bay colt, by Australian, dam Mattio Gross; J. W. Hunt Reynold’s chestnut filly Elsie, by Bonnie Scotland, dam La Grande Duchesse; D. J. Crouse’s bay filly Margin, by Revolver, dam Rough- man’s dam, and D. McDaniel & Uo.’s chestnut colt Hubbard, by Planet, dam Minnie Mansfield. The latter was withdrawn just before the start, on ac- count of a penalty of three pounds, which Colonel McDaniel supposed the horse was not entitled to carry. This fed to a change in the betting, Hubbard having been the first choice previously, Mr. San- ford’s colt selling a8 favorite before the start. He won a good race, Elsie oni \. The second race wasa mile and three-quarters, with 100 pounds up, and for this there were five starters, comprising Colonel McDaniel’s bay colt Tub- man, Major Bacon's brown horse Frank Hampton, W. F. Stanhope’s bay colt Frogtown, Carrol & Ooar’s brown horse Ortolan and Mr. Blandy’s chest- nut horse Tom Boston. Ortolan was the favorite in the pools, Frank Hampton second choice, Frog- town third. Tubman won the race gallantly, mak- ing the favorite appear in a shocking plight. Frank Hampton was a good second, but the others were “Tone atid 1, gallop for Hi Bas: e Trace was only a gallop for Harry Bas- sett. It was for the Westchester Cup, and of the twelve entries for that valuable prize none but the owner of Lyttleton had the temerity to try conclu- sions with the best son of Lexington. The race Was made a very pretty contest throughout, as ‘a blanket would have covered them" for the two miles and a quarter; but Lad spectator one grade above an idiot went away with the opinion that the race was just no race at all. “Old Mac” raked down the $1,600 added money, together with the forfeits, and will be ready to try and “serve the big ‘un the same sarse” at Long Branc! The closing event of the day was a hurdle race, a mile and three-quarters, with seven jumps. There were eight entries and six starters. These were Coin & Lawrence's ber horse Lochiel, William Jen- nings’ brown horse Bind Tom, John H. Tully’s bay gelding Vesuvius, A. Taylor’s bay colt The Earl and chestnut horse Dick Jackson. Taylor's entries sold for the highest priog just before the start. They were the last at the finish. Lochiel won the race after a desperate struggle with Blind Tom.

Blind Tom led around the oppes turn and down to the blu about a length. This hurdle had been knocked down when the horses passed over it the first time, and there was no jump to make. Lochiel lay at Tom's flanks as they passed around the hil, and when they came in view for the sixth hurdle, on the lower turn, they were head and head.

THE JERSEY CITY FRAUDS. —_+—___ Bumsted Sent to State Prison. The Prisoner Sheds Tears While Sentence is Pro- nounced—Vreeland’s Sentence Postponed— Judge Bedle on Official Misconduct— A Warning to Office-Holders. It is now about one year and three months since the Bumsted Ring was legislated into oMce to ad- minister the affairs of Jersey City. The history of that administration is a series of robberies on the public aysolutely without a parallel, The taxpayers of Jersey City had but a slight idea of the extent to which the Ring had plundered them till the exposures in the HgRaxp first opened their eyes. The Grand Jury investigated the case, found several indictments, and the first result of those indictments was the trial of the Police Commissioners, which resulted in a verdict of guilty. The second trial resulted in a similar verdict against Bumsted, the “Head Centre” of the Ring, and Garret Vreeiand, his lieutenant, on a charge of conspiracy to defraud the city. The sen- tence of the latter culprits was set down for yes- terday, and the Court House was crowded, At ten o'clock Judges Bedle, Randolph, Bohn- stedt and Newkirk took their seats on the bench, The crier opened the Court, and Judge Bedle in- quired if the defendants, Bumsted and Vreeland, were in Court. Mr. Winfleld, counsel for the prisoners, arose and stated that having been informed of the iJiness of his client, Mr. Vreeland, he paid @ visit to his house on Friday evening and found him suffering from a severe attack of nervous prostration. He then read a certificate, signed by Drs. Buifett and Lutkins, setting forth that Mr. Vreeland si Sunday had been suffering from prostration to such a degree that he could not leave his house. This prostration was caused by in- Cee to sleep or digest food. Judge Bedie—Is the other defendant, Mr. Bum- sted, here? Mr. Winfleld—He did not come, Your Honor, as he supposed that in consequence of the unavoid- able absence of Mr. Vreeland his attendance would not be required. Judge Bedle—The Court have had no conference on this sentence, They purposely postponed the consideration of the sentence in order to see if the defendants would be here. In this as in other cases it is necessary, for the administration of justice, that the defendants present themselves before the Court for judgment. ‘The Court cannot allow any defendant to remain away at his option, and I, for one, will not hear any one in reference to this case until the defendant presents himself here, Mr. Winfleli—I expect him here soon, Your Honor, a apgee Bedle—About what time do you expect nim Mr. Winfleld—About eleven o'clock, (Here Mr. Dixon, associate counsel for the defence, hastily left the Court, and an argument onan insurance case was heard in the meantime.) Half an hour afterwards Mr. Bumsted arrived, and as he entered the court room there was a great rush from the outside, His counsel having an- nounced his arrival, Judge Bedle stated that the Court would hear any suggestion in regard to the case. Mr. Winfteld applied for a postponement of sen- tence till Mr. Vreeland should recover. Judge Bedie—Has the State anything to say in this matter? The Attorney General (calmly)—We simply do our duty, Your Honor, in moving for judgment. Judge Bedle—The Court will retire for conference. In the meantime Mr. Bumsted wiil remain in the custody of the Sheriff. Here Mr Bumsted took a seat between his ooun- sel, Mr. Wintield, and Sheriff Reinhardt, ‘After the lapse of an hour and a half the Judges returned into Court, and Judge Bedle said:—on this application the Court are satisfied that M: Vreeland is unable to present at this time, They are unwilling to sentence him in his absence, and the sentence in his case 18 therefore postponed till Friday morning next, at ten o'clock. As to the other defendant, Mr. Bumsted, the Court see no reason why sentence should bedeferred. Mr. Bum- sted can stand out there, (Here the prisoner step- ped back to the railing in front of the bench, and dropped tears while the sentence was being pro- nounced, He never once raised his eyes.) Judge Bedie—This indictment charges you, William H. Bumsted, and the defendant Vreeland, with being guilty of a conspiracy to defraud the city, and the jury convicted you both. That was a most excellent jury, and the Court are satisfied with the verdict. There is an evident distinction between these two defendants. One held a high position, In his hands were committed the in- terests of the city, and the other was engaged in Teal estate speculations outside, The conspiracy was of that character between an official and an outsider. It 18 unnecessary for the Court to state what they will do in the case of Vreeland. That ou and Vreeland obtained in this case $15,200 more than was paid to the landowners is clear. The Court would be very glad if they could consistently with their duty save you from punishment, They have invassed your case very thoroughly and they have come to the conclusion that the punishment should be such as to mark their disapprobation of the offence of which you have been convicted. They have listened to a great many appeais in your beh Should we take counsel with our sympathies we would gladly save you from that punishment. There is a duty, however, which arises above all sympathy. A man of means and of respectability, holding a high po- sition, who can so far forgot himself as to do what his position forbids should be visited with punishment suflicient to show our condemnation of the crime. There seems to be no escape on our part but to pro- nounce a sentence that will convince the comunity that oficial frauds must cease. In such a case as this the Court would be direlict in their duty if they hesitated to pronounce such a sentence. The Court hope that the effect of it will be to teach men in office that this business of prostituting ofice to private gain must fe Inthe matter of fine the Court cannot entertain that question in the case of Vreeland until it has beep made clear that restitution has been made to the city, As soon as the Court have been satisfied that restoration has been made they will hear any suggestion for mitigation of pun- ishment. At the same time the Court do not in- tend to convey that phe will be embarrassed even by that consideration, but they will not hear any appeal for mitigation of punishment till that restora- tion be made. The majority of the Court feel that they cannot save you in this punishment from moral turpitude, Not that any of the Court have oy miegiving as to your guilt; but Judge Newkirk hoped to save you from that punish- ment, and felt that it might be done consistently with duty. The Court state this at the desire of Judge Newkirk, and they would add that they are entirely satisfied with his purity of purpose. The same desire animates us, and we would save you if we could, consistently with ourduty. The Court do not mean to visit upon you the extreme penalty of the law, which is two years’ imprisonment at hard labor and a fine of $500. The sentence disqualifies @ man in this State from being a witness and exercise of the elective franchise. This is in itself a@ very severe punishment. Nothing, therefore, remains but to pronounce the sentence of the Coort, which is, that you, William H. Bumsted, be confined at hard labor in the State Prison for the term of nine months, and thence till the costs of the prosecution are paid, The prisoner will now be removed, Sherif Reinhard then conveyed the prisoner to the county jail, the Court in the meantime ordering the constables to prevent any person from leaving the court till the prisoner reached the jail.

The famous Methodist .Book Concern troubles have taken on a new phase, or, rather, perhaps, an old and almost forgotten phase of them has been revived, by the arrest on Friday evening of Rev. Dr. Lanahan, late assistant agent of the Concern in New York, It will be remembered that when the Doctor first began his search for frauds in the Con- cern he charged Mr. Samuel J. Goodenough with being a thief and having swindled the Concern out of thousands of dollars, and that in one year, and almost in one transaction, he had stolen $22,000, This was nearly three years ago, or in the fall of 1869, In the spring of 1870 the Book Committee came together, and, after investigation of the af- fairs of the printing department, of which Mr. Goodenough was the superintendent and head, | they acquitted him of the charge, and demon- | Strated that the Doctor's arithmetic was sadly in fault, in that the alleged $22,000 fraud came from @ false addition, and the true result was an error of two cents, After this acquittal Mr. Good- enough resigned his position in the Methodlst Book Concern, where he had spent thirty-five years of his life and grown up with the business, and was more | familiar with it than even the agents themselves, He then went into other business, and believed that he might be free from the IMPUTATIONS OF DISHONESTY which Dr. Lanahan uttered against him. But those imputations were repeated in more aggravated forms, and to such persons as Dr. William L. Harris, recently elected Bishop; to Dr. Carlton, late Book Agent; to Drs, Curry and Du Puy, Vincent and Wise, editors, and to Rev. W. P. Corbitt, lately of Baltimore; to Dr. Nesbitt, of Pittsburg; to the late Bishop Clark, and many others who had long and intimately known Mr. Goodenough. When by repeated inquiries by those friends as to the truth or falsity of those statements Mr. Goodenough | learned the extent to which he had been slandered, and the manner of utterance of those slanders, he immediately instituted legal proceedings against Dr. Lanahan, laying his damages at $25,000, This suit has been on the docket of the Supreme Court for more than a year, but has never been fully tried or disposed of. It has been called up from time to time, but on one pretence or another it has been postponed. When it was called in March last Dr. Lanahan’s counsel (Brown, Hall & Vanderpoel) had the defence of Mayor Hall on hand and could not attend to the other, Mr. Goodenough did not press his suit at the April term, because the General Conference of the Methodist Church would meet in May, and he believed they would fully acquit him. ‘This they did completely and by a very handsome vote—-60 to 7, When the report of the ‘special com- mittee on Rook Concern came to be adopted as a whole in the committee there was a strong disposition to have it adopted unanimously; | dnt the half dozen who had voted the straight ticket for frauds all through objected, unless an implication of fraud in the printing department could be inserted so as to give Dr. Lanahan a justi fication for his charges. The report originally read that the frauds existed wholly in the bindery de- partment of the Concern, but to Insure a un ote on it, the paper was amended so as that they were confined “chiefly if not will; that department. As thus amended the rep was adopted by the committee and the Conferen and both sides to the controversy were left to take as much comfort as they could from it. Incidental to the investigation, however, a letter oo Mr. Goodenough was read to the Conference n REFUTATION OF THE SAME SLANDERS, uttered publicly before that body and before a couple of thousand visitors besides, Mr. Goodenough was coupled with others who, tog were charged with dishonesty, and Mr. Goodenough was challenged before the Conference by Dr. Lanahan to press his suit for slander, It was «declared that he dare not do it; that the Doctor would more than make good his allegations. Mr. Goodenough waited a reason- | able time after the adjournment of the General Conference to permit Dr. Lanahan to retract his slanders, but he has made no attempt to do so. The Conference having laid him aside from th book agency, he returns to his annual Conferenc in Baltimore, to resume the duties of the pastorate, Having disposed of his residence in East Fifty-sev- enth street, he nad made his arrangements to leave New York yesterday, and, once beyond the Jurisdiction of the New York Courts, Mr. Goode- nough saw a very slim chance of ever legally justi- x himself before the public among whom he had lived. “He, therefore, on Friday, repeated substan- Bonesteel, contractor | tially his old aMdavit, but recited afresh cause, namety, the intended departure of Dr. Lanahan beyond the jurisdiction of the State Courts; and upon this a warrant of arrest was issued for the Doctor, 1 was placed in the hands ot Deputy Sheriff Keyes, who, after a fruitless SEARCH FOR THE REVEREND GENTLEMAN at the Book Concern and elsewhere, was about to give the matter 4 for w ldy, when it was sug- € ted that the office of Campbell, Hall & Co., in Nassau street, was one of his principal resorts, ‘Thither Sheriff Keyes repaired and found his m In a very modest and gentlemanly way Mr. K without putting his hands at all on the person of the Doctor, told him that he was his prisoner, and | at whose instance the arrest was made and the | can be that is fashionable. | bright faille, | with which the e | has developed in fearful proportions, | Well to be poetic and delight in calladtam PARIS PASHIONS.

Paris, May 20, 1872, The new fashions can be described in a few words, but their application in matters of taste would fill volumes, Thus, when one is told that the | newest things are tall hats, tall parasols, embroid- ered costumes, Dolman jackets and Roman scarfs, it would appear that this enumeration should suf fice, In point of number it does, very truly; but it is wonderful how many ditferent kinds of tall hats ladies wear, and how varied, in fact, every article Some of the combina- tions for June are very pretty, and among these are the PERSIAN PATTERNS FOR POMPADOUR TUNICS, All petticoats worn with them are of silk trimmed with stripes, or borders of the tunique material—the miore exotic the leaves and odd the flower, the bet- ter, Grounds are all écru, and what is not éorw is very neutral Indeed.

Feather fringe is also to be sewn on basques; it is made, too, in sewing silk and floss, in all colors, and is then called butterfly fringe. Itis very appropri- ate for light lawns and drab musiins. Basques are elaborately worked in the mouse shades or Paris brule and in maroon.

The Doctor asked the privilege of informing his friends bv letter of his arrest, and desired to do this in the office where | he was arrested; but the Sheriff had another im portant arrest to make and suggested that the Do tor could have every facility for writing in the She riffs oifice, and that of course he could get the small amount of bail required without delay. The Doc- tor thereupon assumed the characteristics and air of a moral martyr, which he has tried to wear dur- ing all the Book Concern controversies for three years ast. The arrest, he insinuated, was made at the instigation ot the late book agent and the editors above named, and the deputy sheriff received a | gentile intimation that he too was tn collusion with | them. The Doctor insisted, in a peremptory and | insulting manner, that Deputy Keyes shoud do his | duty, and absolutely refused to accept ball offered by his friends, He manifested the same haughty disposition in the Sheriffs oMice, and met every suggestion for his own benefit with a sharp “DO YOUR DUTY, SIR,” “Do your duty, sir.’ The sheriis did their duty in the quickest and only manner left open to them | and locked the Doctor in Ludiow Street Jail, There every consideration was ene to his position and Standing, and though he insisted on being placed on a par with the other prisoners the Warden made him as comfortable as he could. A night in Ludlow street is apt to make a man reflect, and hence yesterday Dr. Lanahan was more inclined to accept the bail of his friends, and Mr. Daniel T, Appleton, the publisher, and Aug. Smith, of Campbell, Hall € Co., be his sureties, Mr. Goodenough denies that he had anytning whatever to do with the manner of the Doctor's arrest or his locking up, and was not instigsted to cause the arrest by any ou:side infiuence whatever. His only | motive was to vindicate himself! and place his ac- cuser in the position where he would be compelled to prove his slander or to retract the same. The case will not be called, probably, until the fall, and meantime Dr. Lanahan can return to Baltimore and | pursue his vocation in peace. “Behold how great a fire a little matter kindleth.”” THE SEIZURE OF THE ENOLA 0.
