RACING AT MONMOUTH PARK, N. J, First Day of the Second Sum- mer Meeting. A FLATTERING INAUGURATION. Scenes and Incidents on the Way and on the Course. THREE CAPITAL RACES. Milesian Wins the Hurdle Race, Preakness the Mile Dash, and Mate the Ocean Hotel Stakes. Lona Branca, August 3, 1872. AM asecmbiage of 2,000 persone hailed the open- mg day of the second summer meeting of the Mon- mouth Park Association and was regaled by a good day’s sport and favored w.th splendid racing weather. This time the arrangemeuts of the New Jersey Southern Railroad Company were all that could be desired, and there was consequently none of that intolerable discomfort which marked the Joy meeting and made so many thousands of peo- ple forswearMonmouth Park forever, or until the fa- cilities for reaching the course were better. At forty- ve minutes past six yesterday morning the Ply- mouth Rock took down aconsiderable’ number of spectators to the races, who availed themselves of that opportunity of enjoying a few hours at Long Branch prior to starting for the Park, ‘The Jesse Hoyt took down several hundreds at forty minutes past nine o'clock, and the Thomas Collyer, a good, fast boat, carried down an additional quota at eleven o'clock. All these cargoes of sporting epirita were borne through rapidly and comfort- ably, and reached the course in ample time to wit- mess the races. ‘The day was particularly fine for racing, though the early portent of the morning was anything but puspicious, as a dark, humid atmosphere stretched gown to the horizon in every direction. By nine @elock a long, heavy bank of rain cloud foomed up threateningly from the southwest, and beyond question deterred hundreds from venturing out for a day’s pleasure. ‘The most reputable weatherwise people snuffed rain in the air, and even the barometers, whose sole mission it is to herald the coming rainfall, lowered their sensitive Singers to the water level. The most directly visi- ble consequence of all these omens and prognosti- cations was that there was @ paucity of ladics ‘among the passengers on the boats, and had not Long Branch come to the rescue with a few hundreds of ite surf-washed beauties the grand stand would have been devoid of the chief, the only attraction of all grand stands—the precocious glove-betting eisterhood. By ten o’clock, however, THE OLOUDS WERE RIFTED mthe zenith; half an hour later the sun burst ‘through the misty veil that had boded so much of evil, and the plucky, umbrella-armed, equine-loving slement that had dared to “go to the races any- how,’ plamed themselves with the reflection that “none but the brave deserve the fair,” whether the measure of fairness be filled by women or weather. During the day there prevailed a light white haze 4m.the atmosphere, which was alternated at inter- vals with billows of cumulous clouds that fooked as though they might have been the forerunners of the rain god's dark-crested teserves; but these only served to temper the heat of the sun’s rays, and really made the faces more enjoyable than any flaring midsummer san in a cloudless sky could have done. The trip flown the bay and into the Horseshoe was pe- suliarly pleasant and invigorating, and the waters were absolutely without a ripple. Arrived at the Sandy Hook pier, the trains were in waiting to re- pelve their freights of pleasure-seekere, and in ten minutes were whirling along over tne low, sandy Jersey shore, marked only by clumpy scrub brush and reed patches that crown the hummocks and fill the hollows of this sea-snatched peninsula. Far off to the left gleamed the white sails of ships on the smooth though ever-swelling Atlantic, and to the right were the pale, green waters of Raritan Bay, the surf on either hand swelling up and chafing the shores within @ hundred feet of the car wheeis. Beabright and Monmouth Beach are mere RECOLLECTIONS OF THE FLIGHT, for the train swings past them without even check- Ing speed, and in half an hour Long Branch is reached, The train halts for a few minutes at the rustic station to drop a few passengers and pick up @ few more. The ladies on the piazzas and perticos of the hotels and villas wave their hand- kerchiefs, and again the trailing cars sweep out around the curve and rush for four miles through pleasant fields and woods; and the sand and brush- ‘wood of the first few miles of the route are forgot- ten as the turrets of the grand stand at Monmouth Park rise into view. Twenty-five feet from the rail- ‘way track is the entrance to the park, and within this enclosure all is animation. The first bell rings, and there is a_ bustle among the lagging destrians in all parts of the fie! ry Rie signal reaches their ears which tellg that the horses are called to the course. Barouches, phaetons, landaus and buggies are clustert: @round the platform in rear of the grand stand, disembarking their freights of visitors from the great watering place, for it must be understood Long Branch contributes most of the beauty and fashion which make the grand stand itseif “a thing of beauty,” and these people do not mean to patronize the railroad when they can reach the Park by a four mile drive over smooth roads, through green fields and among umbrageous trees. And as Branch draws the wealth, beauty and fashion of every section of the Union, it is but to be expected that much of it necessarily graces Mon- mouth Park, and it does. The ladies alight from ‘their carriages, pick up two or three arinfuls of trajling skirts and ascend the stairways leading to the stand. ON THE LAWN in front everything ts animation and business. To the right ‘Doc.’ Underwood puts up pools on the coming race, and bids up till he has slapped his hands just times, wien he knocks down the choice and asks the bidder to mame it forthe money. He cajoles the crowd of betting men fearfully, knows every one of them by ay eg! knows by the tiltof a man's hat just whether he will stand a “raise” of $100 more or not, At his back sits “Jiunmy’ McGowan raking in the currency and paying it out again, and all the time feeling the pulse of the betters and of the stock and biood they bet on with a sense as dell- cate as the needle of a compass and a face as imperturbuble as the visage of the Egyptian sphinx. Fortunes come and fortunes go sironen his fingers, and it is all for sport, though with him @ business, In another little pagoda to the left of the stand, opposite the quarter stretch, the machinery of the Paris system o/ mutual pools is in operation, with a group of betting men taking “flyers,” and a second group quizzing the system, and inquiring “how the new thing works.” In the weighing room, an apartinent in the lower story of the judges’ stand, the jockeys are betug Weighed, What queer-looking chaps these thewy, twine-fed looking jockeys are! Thin, jb looking and undersized, they seem to be & Face of men distinct from others of their kind--even from racing men. * THE GRAND STAND was not filled by wuy means yesterday—for it takes @ tremendous crowd to ‘fill it—but there | Was & very select attendance and many beautiful women uid handsome men graced tie occasion. And these beautiful women, that is those among thein who go to admire the beautiful horses, be- | come, if possible, more fascinating themselves at times in the progress of a race. Comparatively (ew ladies know anything ab ng quaiities, but they talk the —litth talk’? they do know—which of pleases the men—and admire — tie hides, _ sien- der limbs and graceful of the racers, and if the horse has a pretty, romantic name—like “Longfcliow,” or “iochiei,” or *Fadladeen,” per- po art would like him to win, They will sit quietly in their seats until the blanketed auimalis are bronght oat on the quarter stretch to be sad- died ; then they are all “quiz,” and puzzle the men frequently by asking the names of horses When the entiemen themselves don't know their names and iglike to reveal the fact that they are not walking turf registers. ONE OF THE STRIKING SCENES of any race course is at the moment when all the horses are ready for a start—that is, if there ever is a time when ali are ready. In most cases hall the horses are inclined to iwist their leads off to get away, and the group cavorts up to the string like a bunch of dry leaves whisking before a wind. It is a pretty picture, but it unfortunately occurs jast at a critical time, when anxieties and excitements creep in to jostic the taste for the beautiful.

Then there was the polite Phil Farley, the gentlemanly detective, together with detectives Wooldridge, Avery and Kelso, from the New York Central ofice, mingling with the crowds on the lawn, in the refreshment rooms and on the stand—men of sleepless eyes, real nun- quam dormios, on the lookout for thieves and swindlers, but happily for the reputation of tne course they found no occasion to exercise their —_ On the whole, the day was one of varied Interest and excitement, aud wasa flattering in- auguration of the meeting, promising well for the days to come, THE RACING was most excellent for the opening day of the summer meeting of the Monmouth Park. The weather was delightful and the track im as fine condition as it was possible to make it. Three races were on the card—the first at hurdies, two miles, with eight Jumps; the second race a dash of a mile, and the third a dash of a mile and three-- | quarters, for the Continental Stake, the name of the latter being changed to the Ocean Hotel Stakes. Very good horses were in all the races, but at the weights the hurdle race was the best ever run in this country, and the fastest in all probability that was ever seen in any other. Lochiel, a four- year-old of known great speed, and a good jumper, was the favorite. Milesian, of the stout jumping blood of Mickey Free and the obstinate, sticking strain of Wagner, was second favorite, and, as we thought, a good horse at the odds. Vesuvius. by Vandyke, was next in favor. Vandyke, himeelf, was a fast horse and the sire of fast horses, notably Ben West, who was but little if any inferior to Idlewild for a mile; but Van- dyke had a hard time in the South after the break- ing out of the war, and we doubt whether he was in fine stud condition when he got Vesuvius. Im- pecunious was little thought of in this race, yet he proved himself avery good one. He was by Mr. McGrath’s Tipperary, out of Lucy Fowler. The pace ‘was good throughout, especially in the last of the two miles, and Milesian won by about a neck, he and Lochiel ‘doing all they knew,” the latter being made great use of, as he was second all the way. Milesian—as these high weights (40 lbs. more than weight ior age)—probably had the best of it in this particular. Though a good four-year- old may be able to carry 108 Ibs., while &@ five-year-old carries 114 lbs., we do not think these relations are preserved when each carries 40 lbs. more. The starters in this race were D. J. Bannatyne's chestnut horse Milesian, by Mickey Free, dam by Wagner, carrying 154 }ba., and ridden by Hyland; Coffin & Lawrence's bay colt Lochiel, dam Bonnie Scotland, dam Bonnet, 148 Ibs., ridden, by the fine English jockey Midgeby; J. F. Chamber- lin’s bay gelding Impecunious, by rip) rary, dam Lucy Fowler,‘145 1bs., ridden letcalf; Mr. Daw- son’s bay horse Gayo, oy Jem. Davis, dam Ninette, 168 Ibs.; and Mr. Tully's bay gelding Vesu- vius, by Vandyke, dam Lizzie Berry, 151 lbs.; ridden by that fearless fellow Hughey Gaffney. Lochiel was the favorite, Milesian the second choice, and the betting was ostensibly on these two, the others being merely bought as ‘‘savers."’ From the well-known speed of both Milesian and Lochiel—the latter having repeated heats in 1:45, on the flat, and Milesian being thought to be as ood as the other—betting was made that the fastest time on record over hurdles would be beaten. This wasnot done, however. Jamesburg, at New Orleans, a few years , ran two miles in %:51, but he carried nesrly thirty pounds less than the waner yesterday. ‘The second race was a dash of a mile for all ages, which had seven starters, comprising A. ‘lor’s bay filly Henrietta, by Jerome Edgar, dam Minnie Minor; Messrs, Davis’ chestnut horse Fadladeen, War Dance, dam Nora Creina; John Harper's chestnut filly Platina, by Planet, dam Aerolite; M. H. Sanford’s bay horse Preakness, by Lexington, dam Bay Leaf; John Brougham’s chestnut colt Jamesburg, by Bulletin, dam by Leviathan; John F, Chamberlin’s b, f. Venetia, by Asteroid, dam Ve- rona; and H. P. McGrath’s brown colt Bazaine, by Asteroid, dam Laura White. Jamesburg was with- drawn on account of lameness. When pooling be- gan the night before at the West End Hotel Fadla- deen was the first choice, Preakness selling second, Platina third, the others being ver, little ‘above nothing. The last pool soli previous to he start Preakness bi it the most money, Fadladeen second choic Afterwards Platina was well up in the bettin ‘There was a atrageling start, few of the horses being in motion when the drum was tapped. Fad- ladeen led for seven furlongs ; but Haywood brought Preakness up on the stretca, not ‘with a rush,” as is often said, but in admirable, even style, and won easily by three-quarters of a length. Platina ran | fast for three-quarters of a mile, but then died away, swerved wide, and was nearly a distance out at the finish. The third race was for the Occan Hotel Stakes eee Continental), which had twenty-eight entries, ive of which came to the post. There were John i Harper's chestuut filly Extract, by Endorscr, dam Nantora; H. P. McGrath’s brown colt John Doe, by Tipperary, dam ia. Fowler; M. H. Sanford’s brown colt Mate, by Australian, dam Mattie Gross; M. H. Sanford’s bay colt Mildew, by Lexington, dam Mildred, and McDaniel & Co.'s bay colt Boss ‘Tweed, by Asteroid, dam Alabama. Sauford’s two were great favorites, Boss Tweed being the second choice, the others selling a8 a field for a very iow price. Mr. Sanford named to win with Mate, and he carried out his | design. Mr. ‘Sanford’s rider, Haywood, on Mate pursued the same waiting tactics that he did while on Preakness in the previous race. Mr. Sanford had announced that Mate should win if he contd, Haywood at the start pulled him back, makin him the last of all. He wasa Jong way behind ai one time, even behind Boss Tweed, who seemed to be as slow asa coach horse and an impostor in | every respect. Meantime Mr. anford’s | other colt, Mildew, kept Extract and John Doe doing all they knew. Half way from home, Haywood bade goodby to Roe, the rider of Boss Tweed, rapidly closing the daylight between himself and those ahead, and won very easiiy from Extract, who was badly ridden throughout, It seemed to ns that Mate ran like avery good colt and it i8 certain that he is a good looking one. ‘The time made in this race was tert good. ‘The following are the details of the running as it progressed :— | THE FIRST HEAT.

Vesuving was first away, Lochiel second, Milesian | third, Impecunions fourth, Gayo fiith. When they jumped the first hurdie they were very close to- gether, Vesnvins leading, Lochiel second, Milesian third, Impecunious fourth, Gayo fifth, and he stopped, as soon after he got over the hurdle he lost so much ground that he was never alterwards in the race. There was no change around the upper turn, and when they jumped the secon hurdle, which was stationed at the quarter pole, they were all to- gether, without daylight between them, and in the same order as before. Some one of them knocked down the hurdle, however. Going down the back- stretch they were nose and tail, in the same order as before. Going around the lower turn Vesuvins led, Lochiel sect Impecunious third, Milesian fourth. When they jutaped this hurdle they vere were all close together without changing their places, but as they passed the stand Impecunious was second Milesian third, Lochiel fourth. At | | the fifth hurdle they were parallel, but | in making this jump Impecunious knocked | it down. Milesian then went to the | front and led a neck to the quarter pole, Lochiel second, Impecunious third, Vesuvius close up. ‘The hurdle being down ai this point, the horses had a clear run down the backstretch. As they approached the seventh hurdle Vesuvius ran to the front, and showed the way from there to near the three-quarter pole, when Lochiel ran up and took the lead, followed by Milesian, who had been watching him, followed by Impecunions, The run was close between Lochiel and Milesian to the last hurdie, Lochiel going over. first; that is, he arose first, and Janded the smallest part of an in- stant before Milesion. A whip-and-spur contest ensued, which lasted to the score, Milesian winning bya neck. Impecunious was tl - two ip behind and one jength ahead of Vesuvius.

Fadladeen beat jatina down the backstretch, and while he was fotag this Preakness was gradually and cautiously craw! ae up to beat them both when the time came. Going around the lower turn Fadladeen, Preakness and Platina were side and side for a short time, and as they entered the homestretch Platina “threw up the sponge in token of defeat,” and Fadladeen and Preakness had the affair to settle between themseives, Haywood Kent his horse bottled all the way up the homestretch until fifty yards from the stand, when Fadladeen quit and Preakness won without an effort by two lengths.

John Doe was _in front when the drum tapped, Mildew second, Extract third, Boss Tweed fourth and Mate fifth. Changes of positions were made on the upper turn, and as they passed the half-mile pole, the horses having been started from the quarter pole, Mildew was a length in front, Extract second, John Doe third, Boss Tweed fourth, Mate fifth, trailing on lazily, apparently regardicss of what the others were doing. Extract then ran to the front and opened a gap of four lengths around the turn, and as she ran up the homestretch she made the distance between herself and her fol- lowers ridiculously great. She was eight lengths ahead of Mildew and John Doe at the stand, the lat- ter being several lengths ahead of Mate, who had passed Boss Tweed, the latter being troubled with the “slows.” Leaving the stand and going around the upper turn an improvement in speed was no- ticeable among the whole of the horses, and they all closed rapidly on Extract. Notwithstanding all this she was two lengths in front of Mildew at the quarter pole, the latter leading John Doe one length, Mate fourth, a neck in front of Boss Tweed. Going down the backstretch Haywood put Mate in motion, and he quickly ran past the others and took second place at the half- mile pole, leaving Boss Tweed hopeleeely out of the race. Mate ran close up to Extract on the lower turn, and as she passed the three-quarter pole he was at her tail, half a length ahead of Mil- dew, who was ha!f a length in advance of John Doe, the latter being six lengths ahead of Boss Tweed. Extract was not easily defeated, as was anticipated, notwithstanding the bad ae of her jockey, and she and Mate had a most brilliant stro; up the homestretch to the stand, Mate win ae race by three-quarters of a length. dgohn oe was third, six lengths behind the filly, but four lengths in advance of Mildew, the latter being one length ahead of Boss Tweed. The time of the mile and three- quarters was 4:15, which is a wonderful mile and three-quarters. At Saratoga, in 1869, Glenelg ran. the distance in 3:14; but, taking the difference of the tracks into consideration, we think that this is much the best race. Kingfisher’s time in the Travers Stake at Saratoga, in 1870, the same dis- tance, was 3:153,; Harry Bassett’s time the next year was 3:21 t Jo Daniel’s time this year over @ Very fine track was 3:08. This was two seconds and a half faster than the Banshee ran, when she won the Stakes in 1868 with only 97 Ibs. up. ° The next racing day at Monmouth Park will be Tuesday, August 6.

Within four hours from the time a blaze was seen to issue from the building the works were burned to the ground, Yesterday morning the fire broke out again from a heap of inflammable matter that lay smouldering, out it was soon ex- tinguished. At one time the flames ex- tenued to the fence of the cemetery and swept over the repositories of the dead.

Evidence in Rebuttal and Easy Testi- mony for the Respondent. SUPREME COURT OFFICERS ON THE STAND, Legal Ways and Means of Proving the State Guilty. MORE ABOUT BLACKMAIL SUITS. Saratoca, August 3, 1872. The Court met at ten o’clock A. M., thirty-four members present. Hamilton Harris resumed the stand and his cross- examination was continued by Mr. Stickney :—I Was not present when the 9,500 shares were sub- scribed to the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad; there were some five or six injunctions served in the litigation connected with that road; I went to Poughkeepsie with Sterling; think David D. Field appeared in Albany on the Monday after the books were closed; cannot say whether it was on the same or the next day when I went to Poughkeepsie; I was informed that Judge Barnard would be in Poughkeepsie; cannot tell who it was that informed me; don’t recol- lect whether Fisk was in Albany at the time; Sterling had the papers, I think, and I think he went into the house with me; I think Judge Barnard then signed two papers; I am positive he did not sign five or six papers; do not know of any one going there at any other time to get papers signed besides myself, ‘Witness was shown various papers, but he could not positively identify them. Two of them he thought 1t probable were the papers he obtained. Witness continued—I was acting for Jay Gould in this matter; THE FISK PARTY held a majority of the regular stock. To Mr. Beach (who handed witness a paper) — This is @ copy of the subscriptions to the 9,500 shares, as entered on the books; my clerk made the copy; itappears to be under a contract entered into in June, 1852; the stamp shows that it was executed in August, 1869, MR. DAVID DUDLEY FIELD was then sworn. I was one of the counsel in the litigation of the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad ; I did only the counsel business; the attorney busi- ness was done by the firm of Sherman, Field & Sterling. Witness was asked to state the facts and circum- stances originating this litigation, but Mr. Parsons objecting, as the same information was contained In the papers before the Court, Mr. Beach did not insist upon the question. Mr. Beach then asked witness to state the course of the litigation in the case of the Union Pacific, and was proceeding to do so when Mr. Parsons asked if he was testifying to facts within his per- sonal knowledge, Witness replied that lis knowledge was derived from his position as head of the firm; he served no papers, nor did he do such work in the case, but he was informed of its being done from time to time as it was done; he had, for the purpose of refresh- ing his memory, some fifteen pages copied from his law register. Mr. Beach thought the testimony competent—it was usual. Mr. Parsons objected, and after argument on both sides the Chair submitted the question to the Court whether the objection should be sustained, and it was decided in the negative—9 to 19, Witness then went on and detailed the proceed- THE MOTIONS AND INJUNCTIONS, explaining the same, There was considerable argument when Mr. Beach claimed that, the testimony of Tracy as to the proceedings before Judge Barnard having been put in, it was only just that the testimony of the witness on the other side should be received. It was decided that witness might go on under re- strictions. Witness showed that several efforts were made to rocure afidavits trom the officers of the Union Paeifte come as to its management, but they failed, the ofdcers refusing to be sworn; then an order was obtained directing the officers to show cause why an injunction should not issue. In the testimony of Tracy that witness said he had told Judge Barnard these were FRAUDULENT OR BLACKMAIL SUITS, and that it was never intended to carry them forward. Mr. Field stated, in contravention of this, that the suits were still pending, having been carried for- ward; witness was present when Durant was un- der examination before Judge Barnard; in the course of his testimony Durant said he had heard that Judge Barnard had said he had driven one set of rascals out of the State and would drive another; I did not hear any reply from Judge Barnard to this declaration; I would have heard it if there was any response ; he knew of no conspiracy or corrupt action in any of this litigation as between Juage Barnard and the parties applying to him for the orders; I have had much business with Jud, at his house, nor ever conversation with him. Cross-examined by Mr. Parsons —Knew of noin- timacy between Fisk and Barnard at the time of the litigation; have no recollection of ever seeing them together; can’t explain why there was delay in the decision when a motion was made by the opponents of Fisk, nor can I explain why there was @ prompt decision when Fisk moved. Counsel asked witness concerning his RELATIONS WITH JUDGE BARNARD and whether there was not some difficulty between them. Mr. Beach objected. Mr. Parsons responded that the witness had been pest the respondent’s counsel as to his intimacy with Barnard, with a view that it was not through any intimacy that the orders were obtained. Now he (Parsons) had asked a question in order to learn whether @ contrary relation did not exist between the parties, whether he, the witness, Was not hostile to the Judge, and thus, through threats, secured the orders. The Chair ruled that the question was not com- petent. A vote of the Court was called for, but Mr. Par- sons withdrew his question before tie vote was completed, Mr. Field was on the stand over two hours and a half, and underwent a very searching examination and cross-examination as to the proceedings in this litigation. ad & moment's private THOMAS 0. DURANT. of the Union Pacific Ratiroad, was examined. He remembered the time when he was examined be- fore Judge Barnard, and both D, D. Field and Tracey were present; I said to the Judge that the directors were under an impression that this was a blackmail suit, and that they would have to come down or would have to leave town; he asked who said that, and I answered that it was attributed to him (Judge Barnard) ; he asked for the authority, and [told him the authority was General Blair. ‘This witness Was not cross-examined, Hamilton W. Ruggies was sworn and examined as to the New York Pier and Warehouse Company, and related the proceedings in electing Directors, His testimony was similar to that already taken. John E. Devlin was sworn and testified in the er of an order to reopen the doors of Tammany Hall; he was a member of the firm who made the application to Judge Barnard; the question of Judge Barnard being A MEMBER OF TAMMANY, and not permitted by law to take jurisdiction of the matter, was discussed before Judge Barrett; the order was vacated; I did not make the original application; I opposed the motion to vacate the order, for the reason that I did not think the ground it was based upon gound; did not know that Judge Barnard was a member of Tammany when the order was applied for; [know that there is a press of business and haste in these matters and they seldom have time to examine papers. The cross-examination of this witness was immaterial. To Nr. Beach—All that Judge Rarnard had to do in this matter was to issue an order of Injunction and at order to show cause why it should not be made perpetual; the action was to prevent ‘Tweed JAMES J. STEELIS, an officer of the Supreme Court, Chambers, was swort, and testified that he has been stationed there for about four years; Judge Barnard held Chambers in June and September, 1871; 1 assisted the ¢ficer inside the railing, and was within four feet of Judge Barnard; my_ business Was sbmetimes to pass papers up to the Judge; the Judge held Chambers oniy a part of the month of June jthe remainder of the month he heid General ‘Term never heard the expression testified to by Judged Birdseye, of vulgar language made use of by Judge Barnard, Crde-examined by Mr. Parsons—I was appointed by ® majority of the Jndges; Sherif brennan secud me my appointment; I am absent from Cour! sometimes; never was five minutes absent at ating; have heard Judge Barnard make observa- tionswhich caused a smile; cannot recall any occa- siondon Waich any other than pleasant feelings werecaused by them, RICHARD NOOPR, Assitant Clerk in the Chambers, and Jacob Valen- tine, Chief OMeer of the Supreme Court, each posi- aot contradicted the testimony of Judge Birds. Behjamin Buchanan, an attendant on the su- rene Court, testified that he was present when urit wos op tie stand Indus Barnard, but never was | | tomer, promising to return the mouey jess his com- Barnard and examined as a -witness; I heard Durant say something about one set of scoundrels ing driven out of the State, Ac. ; did not hear any one else make that remark; he also positively contradicted the testimony of Judge irdseye as to vulgarity on the part of Judge Barvard. Mr. Andrews stated that the respondent has wit- Nesses on the thirty-first article; but the prosecu- tion had put in no evidence on that article, and, consequently, the respondent was unabie to put in his evidence. He asked if the respondent was ex- pected to keep these witnesses here at a great ex- pense, Mr. Parsons replied that the prosecution had been unabie to get A WITNESS NAMED MANSFIELD COMPTON to respond to a subpoena. Horace N. Andrews, a partner of Thayer when the case of Boles vs. Duff came up, was sworn :—He remembered the aMdavits and offers to lease the Ulympic Theatre; they were prepared at our office, and sent out, some to Chicago, one to Phila- delphia and some in the city; remember | the offera ma by Barney Williams; do not recollect that Thayer, in getting up the offers, made the remark that they would get them up as a flyer; I know that Hayes, while manager, improved the theatre, ‘The Court then adjourned until Monday morning at ten o'clock.

The worst enemy of the cause of woman's rights would hardly dare imagine, in the wildest flights of fancy, the abject credulity | of which an ingenious and plausible scoundre! has in this instance made them the victims, Among the number of unfortunate dupes who thronged Essex Market Court room yesterday was a@ Mrs. Eliza Nesbitt, of 102 West Seventeenth | street. Poor Mrs, Nesbitt, who wasa devoted | spouse and model matron, had her feelings harried by the man “Smith,” who detatied to her a story of @ bloody conflict, in which her husband had unfor- tunately become involved, and in which he had slain a fellow man, and over whom the sword of Justice hung suspended by a brittle thread, One hundred dollars would procure him a tempo- rary release from the hard grip of the Jaw; and he was commissioned to raise this money at all | hazards. Mrs. Nesbitt’s conjugal heart was touched; and, bidding the sympathizing “Smith” to accompany her | forthwith she repaired to the Gree! ich Savings Bank, and withdrawing the sum of $100 from her account at that institution, she placed tne money in the hands of her husband's pseudo friend and | “bade him haste’ to the relief of her incarcerated | husband. The latter was represented by “Smith” to have been committed by a justice in Williamsburg, and the twain left jor the Grand street ferry, in- | tent on his liberation. Arriving there “Smith” in- formed Mrs, Nesbitt that the time was so short and his anxiety so great that he thougit if she would wait for him at the ferry he would get along quicker, as her company only retarded him on his r errand, irs, Nesbitt waited accordingly, and continued waiting until yesterday morning, but neither the friendly Smith nor her supposed truant spouse came to relieve her anxieties, Wearied with walt- ing and in agony of doubt she returned home, there to find Mr. Nesbitt in an angry mood and savagely demanding his dinner, utterly unconscious of the marital sacrifices of the unfortunate Mrs. Nesbitt in her fond allegiance to the husband of her bosom. Ex- planations followed in the usual manner, accom- panied by the usual courtesies which accompany do- | mestic misunderstandings. Mrs. Nesbitt retired and nursed her wrath until posternay'e HERALD awak- | ened her slumbering thirst for vengeance, and she was among the first to confront Justice Scott this morning with her tale of wrong. The Judge was not surprised and ca'mty directed the Clerk to take the lady's affidavit. She identi- | fied the prisoner at once, and her look indicated | that her vengeance was satiated and a load lifted from her mind, She departed not a sadder, but a wiser woman. Such a train of complainants followed that the Judge deemed it more advisable to take their Names as witnesses and remit Mr. Smith to the kind attentions of the Grand Jury. The following are the names of the other victims:—Mrs. Annie Westfall, West Nineteenth street, $20; Mrs, Mary E. @lass, 156 South street, $25; Mrs. Mary Freel, 635 Washington street, $20; Mrs. Anna Kauffman, 225 East Eleventh street, §: and a coat; Charlotte Lioyd, 170 West ‘Thirty- second street, $20; Mrs. Kate KE. Haggerty, 116 West | Fifty-fourth street, $20; Mrs. Eleanor Smith, 209 | Spencer street, Brooklyn, jewelry amounting m value to $175; Mrs, Josepline Bruilwotte, 228 Kast Twenty-eighth street, $16; Mrs. Surat Murch, 271 Spring street, $36.
