AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB Winding Up of the Spring Meeting. JEROME PARK’S GREATEST DAY. Magnificent Attendance and Capi- tal Racing. Midday the Winner of the One Mile and Five Furlongs, Lochiel the One Mile and an Eighth, Alroy the Two Miles and an Eighth and Lobelia the Steeple-Chase. The spring racing meeting of the American Jockey Club, and the opening of the season at the North, dissolved last evening in a gusto of glory. As everything that is bright and otherwise must fade, there is sound philosophy in enjoying the former to the end, and no doubt this thought was uppermost in the minds of the overwhelming crowd that left the city yesterday to be present at this dissolution. A beautiful day, with just sufl- cient of light fleecy clouds to obscure the sun, spread its gentie wings over New York, and the drives hence to Jerome Park were in the most superb condition, Central Park looked its pret- tiest, as if conscious of being placed on special in- spection and resolved to do its best. The trees in their wealth of foliage seemed to nod a welcome as the handsome equipages, with their cheery oc- cupants, passed along; and the sweet flowers Jooked fairer than ever. The lake sparkled in the sunlight, and hundreds of charming children | sported on the velvety lawns. Not only through these superb drives, but across Macomb’s Dam and along Central avenue the line of vehicles stretched out almost to a never-ending length; and when the first arrived at the Club House, and the ladies tripped to the piazza, it was two hours before the races commenced, Then they came in twos, threes and by scores, and such was the crush on the gravelled causeway leading to the Esplanade that it took several minutes for some of the occupants to obtain a chance to alight. The excursion trains brought immense loads, and long files of gentlemen and ladies streamed up the shady hill and leafy lane to the course. Green trees and wild flowers by the wayside made the walk very enjoyable, and the little children were greatly pleased when the sweet voice of a singing bird broke upon their ears. Wave after wave of these emigrants dashed like foam on the rocks against the ticket sellers and gatekeepers, until the latter almost lost their good humor. All around on the bluff outside the track, in the lane where the black- berry bushes are in blossom, and under the oak trees, groups of itinerant pediers were seen. They were in close and compact retinue, like a swarm of locusts. The lemonade man, the eloquent lager beer vender, the cheeky, uncouth, dirty banana man, the chowder maker and his sable assistants were on hand as the sands on the seashore, At two o'clock the teams and turnonts crowded fast upon each other at the public entrance. They came in greater numbers than ever before, until every eligible position was selected. The Grand Stand was a huge bouquet before the bell rang the horses to mount. Seats not occupied before during the meeting were early filied, and long before the time observable upon previous occasions a ribbon of silk and velvet and tissue, witn here and there @ white hat and black coat, wound around the hill from the Club House, their owners bending their steps to the stand, and the stream soon gained in numbers and continucd with little variation all the afternoon; but with this exception—the balco- nies of the Club House were still jammed. No other word would describe the crush of beauty and fair faces there seen. A walk around the veranda would have made Dame Fashion her- self envious and cause Cythera to abdicate her throne. There sat the belles of Manhattan Island and of the suburbs for miles around; and, as they chatted and talked, their enthusiasm found a mo_ mentary diversion in betting—yes, betting—gloves, neckties, perfumery and even hats on the coming result, Thus they whiled away the time, listening attentively now and then to the cheerful music of the artillery band at the side of the structure, which has been present during the meeting. Then the more welcome music of the bell calling the jockeys to mount again turned the direction of their thoughts, and thus they looked and smiled on each other and on their cavaliers and on the bright colors of the riders. The dresses of the Jadies were unusually splendid and varied, and both the Grand Stand and the Club House were a parterre of beauty in this respect. Seated in nooks and corners, end qnder the trees on the winding ath below, were graceful belles of every a) and in every character of rich costum Nowhere in Anierica on such an occasion has either been sur- Pp i. The clouded sky, tempering the heat so ex- quisitely, wooed the fair ones in greater numbers than ever before along the rustic fences, and more than one table was spread with shining cloth, upon. which rested yiands of the most palatable nature, While little baskets beneath tiem were filled With bottles containing “the sparkling tears f the vine.” Pleasurg heanied from every face, ‘and satisfaction at the bra ev of being present ‘was expressed universally. It\yould appear that everybody who amounted to anything had made up their minds that not to be at the last day of the Jerome races would be guilty of an unpardonable sin, Eminent financiers and merchants whose credit is without limit, and known from the Atlantic to the Pacific, were on hand. 80, too, were the oliticians of less note, and even Houston st had its denizens there. In a word, Jerome Park never looked more beautiful than yesterday, and never before has its immense space bee thronged—not even when the great Kentucky was a against Time, and the old man won the victory. The condition of the track furnished a fund of conversation, “Oh! my! ain’t it too bad it’s so muddy?’ “What a stiame it ned yesterda and a hundred other ejaculations of like cha: r discontentment of he same subject 1 in language more v s. The ven worse than that as very muddy, and wound up with the steeple chase in a compound of the most disagreeable ‘nature, resem: biing tan slightly mixed with oil. The horses were to be pitied in their efforts to extricate their feet from such treacherous and sticking stu. big pools of water could be counted by the hundreds. The old boys lamented that the magniticent races “should have tobe run on such a course; and the jockeys, in their orange and blue and purple and magenta, grieved in anticipation of the doses of mud that they would be compelled to swallow. “Oh, I 3-a-a-y, ye know,” said an exquisite with a slender walking stick and the ends of a blue scarf fluttering in the breeze like a shivering topsail, “what a dooced good course for a regatta; don’t you think the New- port Yacht Club's race would be better than a horse Tace to-day? and the exquisite. hit the ground vehemently with his slender walking stick, and smiled at his own remarks, The jockeys, white and Diack, when the bell called them to mount were radiant in all the colors of the rainbow, and looking, as one graceful fairy exclaimed, “almost pretty enough to hug;” but these lads were Quickly metamorphosed, and looked after the con- test as if they had but just recovered from a severe attack of smallpox. Crimson jackets looked black, | and bine a dirt color, while the riders consumed several minutes digging the dirt from their eyes. Not one escaped, White boys were brown and freckled, and black boys white and yellow. Their comrades “gave them a laugh,’ and many a pretty anc retiring girl joined in the bubbling chorus, to great annoyance, he pool seilers were “hurried,” Underwood having all that he could do inatiending to the myriad of bids that he received, and MeGowan was a little perplexed at times in receiving the big piles | of money offered. Weill, it was acounterpart of | many such other days in their experi- ence. The betting gentlemen who have been io hard luck during tne meeting wanted to get “square” on the last day, and those who had been fortunate in hundreds and thousands of dollars desired to augment their winnings, and so there was excitement all around the circle. The writer has seen a large fortune in the pool box of these gentlemen on a single 'e, and though there was not that amount yesterday in their care, there was as much evident interest among the buyers as on the occasion referred to. “Doc's” lungs are in capital order and McGowan’s brain in the best of shape for the work before them. This is the start oi the racing year in the North, and from Jerome's oon ficldy and shady nooks they go to Long ranch, where, under the life-giving electricity of the breezes from the ocean, they will be prepared for that to-be eventful raci An: certainly the meeting by the sea shore, which begins the 20th inst., will prove a greater attraction in some respects than ever before offered for many years on the American turf. Longfellow and Bassett come together on the second day of the meeting; came from pretty lips, while the the betters and’ pool-t was demonstrat uyers on ¥ But on that day, di bi th otners of ike character in the North will seem pij turnouts.

The cheers of an American crowd have passed into his- tory as an ébullition of joy that cannot be surpassed for intense vigor, but Jerome Park never before heard such yells of delight as were yesterday spon- pre given at the picturesque field el The ladies fairly screamed with delight. ey jumped upon the seats and cried out as they recog- nized their favorites:—“Oh, Blind Tom! won't you win?” “Tammany, my beauty, come in ahead!” while they made merry music ‘h their tiny hands, For a moment their delight was turned into an expression of sadness when the rider of Blind Tom thrown at the water leap under the biuff; but the merriment grew in greater volume when they Knew that neither horse nor jockey had been hurt, and many eyes strayed involuntarily from the course to these lovely creatures during the race. It was a picture that no painter could produce nor language adequately describe, At length, after the voice of the pool had ceased; after all the racing Was at an end; after all the en- thusiasm over victories and sighs over defeats were no more; after tne last time had been hung the Fashion, and out and the nelegrannic figures put in their laces; after the long-geared dark: had picked up the tumblers on the judges’ stand, the throng realized that the meeting was among the things of the past. Then back to the city was the word; for if Jerome died yesterday Long Branch swings open its gates in a few days, and so wags this world of ours. In a crowd the grand- standers sought the various ways by which they had emigrated to Fordham, some in carriages and hundreds in the cars. The vehicles, with their trappings and painting glistening in the twilight, wheeled up to the fairy-like Club House, and proud horses pranced away With the beautiful, and soon it looked as silent as in the old days when elves lived in these woodlands and shady precincts, Even Wheatly left the scene, and the peanut boys and the little flower girls followed in hia tracks; and last, all the darkies, who had brushed clothes and held and watered horses during the reunion gathered up their traps and ambled homewards. ‘rhe exquisite place was left to its keepers and the stablemen and boys; but the tens of thousands who had gone away carried Ws ag them pleasant re- membrances *f the events of the day and of the spring meeting. THE RACING. pea aes The track resembled a quagmire, but yet the racing was good and gave general satisfaction, Four races came off, all handicaps, the first being a dash of one mile and five ‘furlongs, in which there Were six entries arid five starters, comprising Mr. Doswell’s bay mare Midday and bay filly Wine Sap, Bacon & Holland’s brown horse Frank Hampton, Coffin & Lawrence’s gray gelding Allagog and John O’Donnell’s gray filly Mary Louise. ‘Dos- well’s entries were great favorites over the others. Midday won a capital race, beating Mary Louise by a length, Frank Hampton third. The second race was a free handicap, like the preceding one, only the distance was not 80 far by half a mile, this being only a mile and an eighth, For this event there were six starters, comprising Coilin & Lawrence's bay colt Lochiel, W. W. Glenn’s bay colt Quintard, Joseph Donahue’s bay colt Lord Byron, Bacon & Holland’s brown horse Frank Hampton, H, C. Dawson's bay mare Albuera, and Monson & Gray's bay colt Vim. Quintard had the call in the betting, Lochlel being second favorite. The latter won a very easy race; Quintard second, Lord Byron third. Frank Hampton should not have been started in this race, as there was not sufilcient time to recover from the effects of the first one, and he was beaten badly in consequence. His owners felt confident that the horse could not win, and why they per- sisted in punishing the horse was not fully under- stood by the “outside barbarians.” ‘The third race was a dash of two miles and an eighth, which had three starters, viz.:—Joseph Donahue’s chestnut colt Alroy, J. W. Hunt Rey- nolds’ chestnut mare Metella, and John H. Har- beck, Jr.'s, chestnut colt Edwin, Alroy was an im- mense favorite over the field. He won a very easy race, taking the lead as the Nag dropped and keep- ing it to the finish, under a pull, Alroy is a capital race horse, and there are very few in this country that can beat him at any distance, The last event of the day and meeting wasa handi- cap steeple chase, which had eleven entries and seven starters. These were James Thompson's bay mare Lobelia, aged, with 148 lbs. up; Donahue’s semen: gene Tammany, 6 years old, carrying 50 Ibs. ; Comin & Lawrence’s bay gelding Jim ‘Tis- dale, aged, 154 Ibs.; R. Shea's brown colt Astrono- mer, 4 years old, 147 Ibs.; John H. Tully's bay geld- ing Vesnvins, 5 years old, 147 1bs.; William Ja: brown gelding McIntosh, aged, 146 lbs., and Wil- Ham Jennings’ bret, horse Blind Tom, aged, 156 Ibs. Tammany had the call in the bet- ting, Blind Tom being the second choice. Lobelia won the race by a head, aiter a neck and neck struggle with Tammany for over a quarter of a mile, Blind Tom threw his rider at the water jump and was afterwards out of the race, although the horse kept up with the others for half a mile and made several beautiful jumps with them.

Vesuvius Mackintosh .. 3 ow 200 400 1,000 THE RACE, The start was a very good one, and as the horses ran down the fractional track they jumped a hurdle nearly in the rear of the timing stand. Jim Tis- dale Was the first horse over, McIntosh second, Astronomer third, Tammany fourth, Biind Tom fifth, Vesuvius and Lobelia side and side, Tney then ran to the end of the fractional track, and, wheeling aurmp ely to the left, jumped a brush fence into the north fleld, McIntosh first, Jim Tisdale second, Astronomer third, Tammany fourth, Blind Tom fifth, Lobelia sixth, Vesuvius seventh, the horses being very close together. They then circled around the fleld and jumped a hedge fence, McIntosh showing the way, Tisdale second, Lobelia third, Astronomer fourth, Vesuvius fifth, Biind Tom st , Tammany seventh, over another brush fence in the field, and th horses came out and jumped a hurdle at the foot the bluff, and they passed over it safely in the same order given above. The horses then jumped into the south fleld, and, circling around it, jumped a brush fence, Lobelia leading, Jim Tisdale second, Vesuvius third, Blind Tom fourth, Astronomer fifth, Mcintosh sixth, and Tammany seventh. At the lower end of the south field there are two hedges with ditches on the far sides of them, and these diMeult jumps were made very prettily, Jim Tis- dale showing the way, Lobelia second, Blind Tom third, Vesuvius fourth, McIntosh fifth, Tammany sixth, Astronomer seventh. They then jumped a brush fence and came rushing up towards the stand and took the hedge and water leap, the most dim- cult one in the race. Jim Tisdale was the first horse over it, Vesuvius second, Blind Tom third, but as he landed he stumbled and threw his rider (Jones) over his head. The man lay where he fell until all the horses passed by him, when he got up and walked away, apparently unhurt. Blind Tom did not wait for his jockey to mount again, but dashed after ee other horses, taking the jumps as they took them. The horses soon got out of the lane between the two tracks, crossed the regular track and ascended the hill to the pic- nic grounds, When they reached the top of the hill hey were allina bunch. Astone wall on the summit of the hill w@s then jumped, first by Jim Tisdale, Vesu- vius second, Lobelia thira, comerey fourth, Mc- Intosh fifth, Astrornomer sixth, Blind Tom seventh. They then scrambled down the rocks and across the track into the north field, over a stone wall, and then out of the field on to the regular track. Three jninps more and the race would be decided. The horses Were now at the top of their speed, Tammany leading, Lobelia second, Jim Tisdale third, Vesuvius fourth, Astronomer fifth, McIntosh sixth, the lat- ter having, at this time, bad enough of the race. The horses jumped the hurdle at the foot of the bluffin the above order, and dashed around the hillout of sight. When they appeared in view on the lower turn Tammany was leading, Lobelia sec- ond, Jim Tisdale third, Astronomer fourth, Vesuvius fifth, and McIntosh sixth, They then came into the homestretch at the top of their speed, and after a very severe struggle Lobelia and Tammany jumped the last hurdle together, and, coming away under whip and spur, Lobelia won’ the race by @ neck, Tammany second, Astronomer third, Jim Tisdale fourth, Vesuvius fifth, McIntosh sixth. Time, 6:41, And thus ended the spring meeting of the Ameri- can Jockey Ciub at Jerome Park. "BOATING. The Hazard Regatta at Greenpoint, L. I. Yesterday afternoon the Hazard Amateur Row- ing Association held their second annual regatta at Brushe’s, Newton Creek, Greenpoint, L. I. At three o'clock, the time appointed for the race, the weather was very threatening, and fora while it Was thought that the affair would have to be post- poned, as the water was lumpy and the wind high, But later in the evening the weather cleared up and the programme wes partly carried out. ‘The first race was a single scull contest, for which the following gentlemen entered :—A. B. Hazard, W. F. Woods and Wilbor Barker, ali in seventeen foot working boats, The course was from Brushe’s to the second bridge ana return, making two miles. Mr. A. B. Hazard won the race by about half a length, Mr. Woods followifig close behind; Mr. Barker was distanced, The double scuil race was next rowed, the follow- ing gentlemen being entered :—Messrs, Flanigan and Lent, and Messrs. Greene and Lawson, The course Was the same as that rowed in the first event, Messrs. Flanigan and Lent winning by about two lengths. THE NATIONAL GAME. Boston, June 15, 1872.

A cricket match was played here this afternoon between the Young America and Wakefleld Clubs, the latter winning by a score of 131 to 57. Only one inning was played. The Wakefield Club is com- posed of English players. Several of the best players of the Young America were absent. SUSPECTED FOUL PLAY IN WESTCHESTER, At Yonkers, Westchester county, on Friday, a woman’s arm, which had apparently been wrenched from its socket, was found in the Neperhan Creek, near Main street. The limb bore abundant evi- dence of having been violently forced from the body, as the tendons and ligaments which had con- nected it with the trunk remained hanging from the shoulder, It is believed by many that the remain- der of the body was lying at the bottom of the creek near where the arm was found, but no efforts were made by the authorities to determine the cor- rectness of this speculation. Coroner Smith em- panelled*a jury to pronounce upon the ghastly relic, and although some members of the official inquest urged that the creek be dragged, for some cause unexplained it was left undone, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE, The United States steamer Powhatan arrived at Poxtamouth, N.

THE STRIKE IN JERSEY CITY. | There was great, though partially smothered, ex- citement manifested among the strikersin all parts of the city yesterday. The clubbing of the delega- | tions of the pianoforte makers and iron workers | when en route for, as they claim, a peaceable con- ference with the iron workers of Steinway’s fac- tory was the one subject of conversation in every quarter, The men have long nursed an opinion that the police were antagonistic to the movement, and interfered with their committees in the most unwarrantable manner. They accuse them of accepting freely bribes of different values and characters from the employers, whose interest they | can gerve in this manner; and occasion- | ally set forth strong proofs of the justice of | their accusations, On the other hand, the police have suffered, as a class, more, perhaps, than an others from the strike. The entire force has been | constantly under orders for now nearly seven weeks. Many of these men, it {s asserted, hiave had but two hours’ sleep out of every twenty-four, and | they have had some of the excitement which sus- | tains the workingmen to counteract the natural | exhaustion. The “little green ribbon” that at first | divided them in sentiment and sympathy has thus rown to be a wide and, perhaps, impassable gulf. t ig hoped, however, that the better part of both will prevail, and that neither the June nor July of this year will witness the wicked, bloody scenes of the last. The Police Raid on the Workmen. About five o'clock yesterday morning informa- tion was received by Inspector Walling, at Police Headquarters, that a demonstration by the workmen on strike was imminent in some of the uptown dis- tricts. He immediately telegraphed the news to Su- perintendent Kelso and Inspector Dilks. These gen- tlenien at once assembled all the reserve forces of the police and hurried to the places where it was supposed the strikers would make an attack. At half-past five o'clock Super- intendent Kelso took up his headquarters at Steinway’s factory, at Fifty-ninth street, and In- spector Dilks at the same time loaged himself at the Twenty-first precinct station house with all the available forces at his command. Towards six o'clock about fifty men gathered on the corner of Forty-second street and Third avenue, and were soon after reinforced by about one hundred men, | who had gradually joined the first party, Finding from the scouts they had posted in diferent quar- ters that the police were ready for them cinity, they moved on across to Secot and prevented all the workmen in the cabinet sh of Pfeitts & Co., between First and Second avenue from going to work. They then entered the fac. tory and DECLARED THEY WOULD DESTROY TIE BUILDING, with all its contents, if any attempt was made by | the owner to continue business, As soon as they got into the building they began to make prepara- tions for an attack upon the silk factory three doors. below, but one of the proprietors of the cabinet shop sent word to Superintendent Kelso and In- Spector Dilks at the same time of the intended ope. rations, Two bodies of police were immediately sent to the cabinet shop; but those despatched by Superintendent Kelso, under the com- mand of Captains Gunner and Burden, were first on the gound and quickly succeeded in dislodging the rlotes. Some vigorous clubbing was done by the polic%-sad the strikers scattered in all directions. Only three men, however, were injured; one, Au- guste Steiner, of South Fifth avenue, received a scalp wound’ and a broken arm, and’ another had his hands badly smashed. As these men were fly- ing from the locusts of the Superintendent's men down Third avenue they met the force under In- spector Dilks marching eb the scene of the en- counter, and a wild storm of HISSES, CHEERS, OATHS AND GRUMBLINGS greeted the men as they passed along. ‘The police took no notice of that, but pushed on quietly, watching that no sudden attack should overtake them. When Inspector Dilks got on the ground he | found order was again restored, and although the police were kept on duty during the morning and afternoon no further disturbance took place. Su- perintendent Kelso remained at Steinway’s factory up to four o’clock yesterday afternoon, to be ready in case any attack should be made on the men who were working. The plans of the police were to hem in the strikers between the forces of the Superin- tendent and those under Inspector Dilks, and by a heavy application of the club to disperse any riotous gangs that may create a disturbance. Fortunately the men did not indulge their fight- ing propensities, probably because they saw the perfect readiness of the police. This fact, too, dis- concerted them, for they supposed the police had no idea any attack was likely to be made, Besides the forces scattered through the up-town precincts, Captain Irving, of the detective force, was on daty at Headquarters during the day, with all bis men held in readiness to move at a moment's notice, The detectives were divided into two bodies in case it should become necessary to sepa- rate them, and Captain Irving had his officers IN THOROUGH FIGHTING CONDITION, determined to show the people what they could do in a moment of emergency. The usual holiday ap- pearance of the detectives had given place’ to a rough and ready costume, and from the quiet bear- ing of the men, as they lounged about the building during the day, waiting the orders of their Cap- tain, it was evident they meant to do some e ution, if they were called into action, The sanitary sqnad, under Captain Yule, was also held in reserve at Folice Head- arters, but nothing took place to call for their services, During the entire day the scene at the Central Office was a most animated one, Couriers k constantly arriving there from Super- dent Keiso'and his officers, to inform the Com- Police of the state of affairs. At five ning the reserves were all dismissed with the caution to be in readiness for a call at any moment. The same watchfulness will be continued by the police to-day, to guard against any outbreak by the men now on strike. The Pianoforte Makers. The pianoforte makers in large numbers were assembled at Germania Hall during the morning and afternoon of yesterday. The one subject of the police attack upon their men absorbed ail the attention of the members. Speech after speech in the German and English languages were made, de- nouncing the action of Superintendent Kelso and the men under his command as cowardly, brutal and altogether uncalled for, It was advised that legal action should at once be taken, and an effort made in the Courts to_ restrict the police to a performance of their duty, which was humorously described by one member as that of NE women, and chasing and choking little boys.’ There were no threats of vengeance made, nor cries of “blood for blood,” but a firm determi- nation to secure and protect their rights as peace- able citizens was evident in all they said and did, This meeting appointed a committee to act with asimilar one created by the Iron Workers’ Union, to confer with and retain lawyers in the interest o1 the unions, Particulars of their action will be fonnd in the report of the iron workers’ meeting below. The Iron-Workers’ Union. Aregular meeting of the iron workers was held at the’Germania Assembly Rooms in the Bowery yesterday. There were some five hundred present, and the Vice President, Mr. John Roach, known to the music-loving for his silver voice and to his as- sociates for his iron nerve, occupied the position of Chairman, As the meeting came to order he arose and in scathing terms denounced the hasty action of the police in charging upon orderly and inoffen- sive men, collected with no intention or thought of creating disturbance of the peace or injuring prop- erty. Canards circulated in the evening papers of the day previous had, perhaps, led the police to fear a riotous outbreak, but the crotchet of some Bohemian of greater ingenuity than industry was not a sufMcient excuse for wholesale attack and Promiscuous clubbing. JUNE,16, 1872—TRIPLE SHEET. A member insisted that he had the most reliable wo the effect that men had gone to some of the police officers with offers of money to be paid if the workmen were well clubbed, The Chairman said he was no lawyer, but ques- tioned whether they were not trespassing. He thought that a notice of “No acunliiaice ar ply at the office,” might be in existence at some of the shops, though known only to the police, and that under cover of this the men might be clubbed oif, A member stated that a delegation walking on Lexington avenue was attacked and clubbed with- out notice. Mr. Joseph Clark, chairman of a committee ap- pointed to act in conjunction with the pianoforte makers’ committee, reported that the committee started for Steinway’s manufactory to urge the iron workers there to join in the movement, but when they reached the corner of Fifty-third street and Lexington avenue they were stopped by a de- tachment of police under command of Superintend- ent Kelso, who ordered them to leave. They started back, but before they reached Third avenue they were set upon by a squad of about twenty- five police who had been sent after them, and the men in the rear of the commit- tee were badly clubbed and? beaten, One of them also arrested, though no charge was made, and he was locked up at the Nineteenth precinct station house. Application was made for a writof habeas corpus, but before it could be brought before the Supreme Court Judge he was released, When he returned to Germania Assem- bly Rooms, at twenty minutes past three o'clock, he was received with cheers, and a tiger of hisses Was vouchsafed for the interference of the police. The arrested man, whose name is Frederick Fletehinger, reported the following as the facts of his arrest and § ordered away from Pifty-third stre avenue, and went down the street to the corner of ‘Third avenue, where he stopped to buy a morning paper previous to getting on the cars. At this time a sergeant called out, “Arrest that man 1? and he was arrested. He was taken to the Nin¢ precinet station house and thence to the teenth, and thence to Jefferson Market Police Court, where the Justice advised him never to be brought the: ain and discharged him, He gave avery humorous account of his treatment. there and the expenses of a few hours’ confinement. The delivery of a letter cost him $1 90, and the cost of a cigar was ninety cents, The penditure of about four dollars procured his removal from a dark cell to a light one, furnished with a louny and in his improved circumstar him called to ask for his health, SIX manufacturers are reported as having capitu- lated during yesterday, The chairman of the delegates who had been sent on to Bridgeport stated that he found notices posted tn the town calling for a meeting of the iron workers for Friday night. The committee wrote out other noth and had them circulated broad- cast over the town and in every iron-working place in the city. The meeting was described as a most enthusiastic one, and those in attendance arose en masse, ready to strike at once, A prominent lawyer of the City took charge of the movement, Prone las, to devote his time and means to obtain- ng the adoption of the eight-hour system. A fund Was inaugurated for the support of those who shall strike in future, and to this fund all who suc- ceed in their demands are to contribute $2 per week, for the benefit of the families of those who shall strike in the future, ‘The committee sent out to confer with the other nizations reported having met with the piano- ich and cabinet makers; also having called harles Spencer, a lawyer, in Beach street. cer’s assistant, who is well known in Police 1 them to visit in a body some s of the city, which they did, upon Mr. Spe Court ¢ of the various pape: gaining the promise of aid from them.

The pakers met last evening at Putnam Hail, Third avenue and Twelfth street, William Campbell presiding. ‘nis society is making strenupus exer- tions to effect a permanent organization, with o view to strike for twelve hours a day. So far there has been considerable progress made. It is in- tended not to strike until a fund of $1,000 has been raised to maintain the men while out of work in the expected contest. Last evening a number of new names were added to the “strikers! fund’ roll. Coachmakers and Carpenters. The coachmakers and carpenters met last even- ing at 193 Bowery, John M. Brewer presiding. ‘The men are still on strike, and last evening's meeting was mainly devoted to the hearing of reports from the several shops. The most important report was from Brewster & Co.'s shop, The foreman of that shop came to the Executive Committee of the so- ciety on Friday last, stating that Mr. Britain, a member of the firm of Brewster & Co., desired to see the men at the shop, and yesterday about three hundred men went there, Mr. Brit- ain informed them that he was losing about $20,000 a week by his men being on strike, but that he would continue to lose his money until the men succumbed, After the reports of the shops were received the men who have been at Work at eight hours a day handed to the financlal secretary $1 or $2 each to help the men still out of works The men are evidently de- termined to hold out to the last. The meeting Went into secret session to hear a report from the Executive Comiittee, but the result of the delib- erations left the society just as it had stood, Blacksmiths and Wheclwrights. These men met last evening at Military Hall, Bow- ery, John J. Barrett in the chair. The most impor- tant part of the proceedings was the announce- Ment made that the bosses had held a@ private meeting the evening previous, the majority of them coming to the conclusion that they would not consent to the eight-hour system. The men considered this a heavy blow, as by this determination about two hundred men, who had been at work eight hours a day, must again go on strike to-morrow morning. So resolute were the bosses in their decision that they caused notices to be posted in their shops yesterday to the effect that they would not adopt the eight-hour system. Four shops, however, will continue to work on the elght- hour system—namely, George J. Jeremial’s, Thirty- sixth street and Tenth avenue; White's, of Thirty- seventh street; McCready’s, of Thirty-eight street, and McCann's, of Tenth ‘avenue. There will, in all, be about eight hundred blacksmiths and wheel- rights on strike to-morrow. A few of the union men who had represented themselves as working eight hours, but who were really working ten hours a day, were expelled from the hall, The men con- tinue resolute in holding out. Workingmen’s Fourth of July Demon- stration, Acommittee from the House Painters’ Organiza- tion visited most of the trade societies that were in session last evening, calling upon each to send a committee of five to Demilt Dispensary on the evening of Tuesday week next to make prepara- tions for a grand workingmen’s demonstration to take place on the Fourth of July. In society visited appointed a committee. The made brief addresses to the societies, urging a bold front and promising ultimate victory. They were wedl received by the several organizations. It is in- tended that the proposed parade shall be on the very grandest scale, all branches of labor being represented and no pains to be spared to make tt a triumph. ene EE THE JERSEY OITY STRIKES. The Sugar House Laborers Cease to ‘Work—500 Men Out of Employment=—A Riot Prevented by the Police. At three o’clock yesterday afternoon the work- men employed at the sugar refinery of Matthiesen & Weicher, Jersey City, had an interview with their employers and demanded an increase of wages from $1 60 to $260 per day. The employers pos- itively refused to accede to the demand, and the laborers shortly atterwards quit work. Towards seven o'clock several of those who had just struck were congregated in a liquor store opposite the refinery and indulged in very uncomplimentary epithets towards the proprietors of the refinery. Several of the night squad of workmen began to come along to work as usual—many of them being unaware of the recent action of théir colaborera— and some of them were ordered under no circum- stances to go to work that night. The night men, however, persisted in going to work, and the men in the liquor store commenced to manifest a dispo- sition to violence. Immediately Onicer Garvey, of the police force, arrived, and seeing that a storm was brewing stood in the doorway of the saloon and told the men inside not to attempt to come out, or they should be arrested, This was to prevent a collision with the night men on their way to the reflnery. When the policeman had sald this, one of the gang in the store came forth and resisted the officer, a him several powerful blows. This man's name 18 Thomas Powers. Garvey signalied for assistance, and in @ few minutes several policemen were at hand.

From an interview had by thi HERALD representative with the superintendent of the works last night it may be inferred that the proprietors will remain firm in opposing the de- mands of the workmen. Only seventy-live men found access to the refinery last night, and the John Reed, President; Amos B, McGregor, Secretary ; Richard Holloway, ‘Treasurer, Remarks were made by Messrs. Reed and Holloway and others, in Which the agitation of any eight-hour movement in Newark wes vigorousiy deprecated—at least for the present. The sense of the meeting was that it was Well to organize the trades Into associations for mutual protection, but the eight-lour system, in a place where piece work predominated in the majority of trades, was not at all desirable; at all events, they would watch and wait the upshot of the New York movement. STRIKE OF RAILROAD EMPLOYES. ALBANY, June 15, 1872, Thirteen hundred machinists, carpenters and painters employed on the New York Central and Hudson River Railroads, have struck for the eight- hour system, The Claim was made Inst Wednes- day, and to-day the reply was given that it could | not be complied with, on which the men in the shops at West Albany dropped their work tools, marched out and formed in line, One of the leaders: called out, “Those in favor of cight hours step to the right, and those for ten hours to the left.” All ‘tho men stepped to the right, and afterward marched, witha bauner insertbed “Bight Hours and No Compromb * to all Lhe shops, rathering accessions to their ranks at every shop, until the strik completed, One of their lead- ers addressed them, counselling moderation, The train hands, switchtender id truckmen were also uced to join in the strike, It is sald the strike willextend along the entire distance of the road. | The movement continued all day, and it is thought | will extend to the Boston and Albany Railroad shops in Kast At@my, OCEAN TRAVEL. number will probably be diminished by Monday | evening. | WORKINGMEN’S MEETING IN NEWARK. At Buerger’s Halil, William street, News | ark, @ meeting of workingmen was held | last evening, when a central organization | was effected, with the following officers:— | | | The Hegira to Europe---Thonsands of Ameri- cans Flying from the Wrath to Come at Our Watering Places, Passenger Traffic to France, Eng- land and Germany. The month of June seems to have been chosen as the month in which foreign travel must be begun, Americans are learning that American watering Places are swindles, plain and simple. A gentleman with an income of $10,000 a year wishes to give hia wife and daughters pleasure and fresh air and rec. reation when the hot days of July and August open, If he has four or flve in the family and if there are | a couple of girls in the domestic cirele he is ariven by their entreaties to Newport, Saratoga or Long Branch. The dresseg which his daughters will call for, the diamonds, carriages and dinners that he will be compelled to give, will take at least five or six thousand dollars from his income. If he has a son of twenty-two or twenty-three years of age the hope of his house will perhaps borrow a thousand dollars from the hard-worked father to pay his gambling and racing debts, and at the end of the season the father returns to his business in the month of September, inanimate and disgusted with the watering-place life, and driven to despair to know how he may make both ends meet. ForNew Year’s Day must come, and by the time that he hae cleared off the result of his daughter's folly and his son's re Ss expenditure it is then time for him to provide for more extravagance. There is not in the whole world such a people as the American people in these instances. But they are learning some things to their | cos and one thing th have learned weil— that is that it is cheaper to go to Europe and make a trip of three months than to go to Saratoga for one month. The Insolence of the hotel keepers and the dishonest charges that are made by the people who control seaside or watering-place caravansaries have be- come too intolerable.

One week ago a steamer of this line sailed with $15 cabin passengers, and the agents say that all their steamers are engaged six weeks ahead by cabin passengers, This ne does not carry steer- age passengers. The White Star line steamer Atlantic was towed from her dock by the tug Seth Lowe, having on board ninety-four cabin passengers.
