CURIOSITIES OF THE COURSE. a Yom Bowling Wins the Thesplan Stakes, Albuera the Selling Race, Midday the Two-Mile Dash, and Susan Ann the Mile Heats, Best Three in Five. Lona BrancH, Augus 6, 1872. A day of ciond above and of the very sunshine of Jeasure below rested on Monmouth Park Course day, and made the second day of the second summer meeting an occasion of unusual interest. The threat of rain which came up with the dawn from the eastern horizon beyond question deterred many New Yorkers from risking a trip to the @ourse, but it was only a threat, and the ladies at Long Branch, being as brave as they are un- @oubtedly fair, took the chances of a four-mile ride 4m order to grasp the pleasure of witnessing the Taces. Shortly before eight o'clock a mere dripping of raindrops darkened the dust in the roads, and though leaden clouds swept in billows over old Monmouth until late in the afternoon, they mwerved to shelter the course from the heat of the sun and tempered the air, so that all was pleasant and cool as a dream of Arcadia. It was eleven o'clock before people at the Brauch bestirred themselves for the races, but from that time till half-past one they sped along the old Eatoatown road in droves. Away over @ountry bridges, built by “corduroy” engineers, past willow-fringed ponds, under fruit-burdened trees wlose bending branches arched the road, through clustering farms, down to where the bright flags waved from the Mansard towers of the Grand Stand, was a drive that gavea zest to the after sport of the racers, and every carriage had ita fair proportion of still fairer lady occupants, BEFORE THE FIRST BELL which summons the rival steeds to the arena was rung the curious portion of the crowd amused themselves by sauntering out to the stables and trying to form opinions about the racers; but most ef them were disappointed. ‘Tie contestants of the day were mostly shut up in their quiet, well ventilated stal! and jealous boys, white and black, eyed with cautious leer every stranger who approached. Here and there seated on rough benches were owners of wome of the best racing blood and muscle in the land, surrounded by knots of horsemen, and, of course, all were ‘talking horse,” while kinky-haired Begro stable boys and freckled, sun-browned white archins—the racing men of the future—stood around with mouths agape, and quietly guiped down ail the wisdom that fell from the lips of their oracu- Jar masters, Outin the neatly-mown and verdant stable yards around the farm house, high-mettled, Blender-limbed racers, with blanketed bodies and flannel-bandaged legs, were being led about for their airings, while here and there through the Open stable doors some pampered victor of the furf looked out with envious eyes on his rivals Stepping daintily over the crisp green sward, IN A QUARTET of great rustic rocking arm chairs under the apple trees at the farm house door sit a group of dis- Eeerahes horsemen, and singularly enough, too, yhey are almost all Southerners, Old‘ Uncle” John er lingers feebly on the front of his chair, and “takes it all in,’ but says little, In front of him sits Price McGrath, filling up the whole peat, Tera d back on his rockers With his elbows resting on the arm pieces, and he 1s busy chattering iin Chamberiain at his righ tabout the Schell cup, ol in and Price “chum” {ta great deal and wouldn't urt each other for the world, but they are pitted So-day as rivais, aud they don't quite lke the look The silver prize, @ massive and beautiful punch | Dow), with handies formed of two jockeys peering | over into the basin, and the stand ornamented with racing trappings, is already glistening on a | pedestal in the lawn, in front of the grand stand, | and Chamberlain tells McGrath that the bow! has got to stay at “the Branch.” Mac quietly retorts that “if Brennus don’t ran | faster than Susan Aun that bow!'s got to go down In Kaintuck,” to which John comes back With the int that * v > be filled a good many times up North first.” While a chuckle is wriggling in the throats of the bystanders, among whom are | Dosweil, Tom Jerome, ce and other bystanders, some one suggests that the Clay stock ts to be gold, and everybody starts out through the wicket and across the roadto the Grand Stand to | Bee it. “Uncle” John rises from his chair siowly and trudges wearily after them, leaning on his | stick, and with his left arm thrown behind him, as | though supporting his back. John owns up to sixty- | nine, and everybody else says “he is seventy-five if | he Is a day,’ and though he looks it and 1s really very feeble he doesn’t seem to know it. By this time THE LAWN IS PILLING UP and things begin to look business like. harlequin colors, with wilpc down into top boota, fit here and there through Jockeys in | rad legs tapering | ‘ “Tom is lost suve, No horse that shows such temper ‘that oa win,” But he got off at last, a ORO. dove: Nhe. 2008 in hig teeth gud rughed around the course one eéxultant ‘horse Yaugh” went up from the old uns’ throats that would have astonished the oldest tentman In acircus, And then the knowing ones ali “told you 80.” But the worst, the wildest disorder of the oy followed in the second day, when “old? Albuera, who was selling for $3 in pools of $180 and $200, took the run out of the whole pack and passed under the string, amid the roars of applause and laughter, a victor. There was probably more money changed hands on Albuera’s performance | than on all the other races of the day, But the favorites were bound to go under yesterday, and they went, with a vengeance. AS A WHOLE the day's sport yesterday was one of the most in- teresting that could be desired. Everybody was in excellent humor, even the losers, and only ‘anxiety was occasionall: when ‘ain threatened. Now and then the ‘sky became a very chaos of dark clouds comping up from the sea, and the faces of the watchful crowd reflected back vistas of draggled skirts, muddy boots and an umbreila famine. Before the day closed the black clouds became mountains of golden fringed fleece, and all was brilliant and fair and pleasant to look upon. The thoroughbreds Nominee, Zebedee, La Gitana and Logan Bruce, announced to have been sold by John M. Clay, were not disposed of, no bids being offered at which the sale could be started. enone the well known people on the course were Harol Wallack, “Larry” Jerome, Mark Bates, Charles Collins, Messrs. Coffin & Lawrence and other prominent gentlemen, THE RACING. The track was in admirable order yesterday. A very slight sprinkling of rain falling just previous to the start laid some of the dust and improved the going a trifle. Fast time was anticipated by the spectators, and they were not disappointed, par- ticularly in the first race. Four contests were ran, the first by two-gear-olds for the Thespian Stakes, & dash of three-quarters of a mile; the second, a sell- ing race ofa mile and a half, with the usual allow- ances for the low prices that the horses were to be sold for, The third event was the Long Branch Stakes, two miles, with 100 lbs. up, and the fourth race, mile heats, best three in five, which had un- fortunately only two starters. The racing, apart from the two-year-old contest, wad very inferior, the time being miserably slow. Inthe two-mile dash particularly, where there were four rattling fast ones, they made a very unsatisfactory affair of it in point of time, as each horse seemed too anxious for the welfare of the other; and when running began Alroy seemed to take the affair in a way to sult himself and his owner, but not his backers. It may be—and probably the thing will show itself before the week 1s out—that Alroy did not do his best on this occasion; and should this be the case, we hope the owner, trainer, rider and all concerned may feel happy if they are lucky; yet, still, they will find in the long run that policy will not be found to be the best honesty. Alroy will run to-day in the three-mile dash with Preakness, and we think he will present a different appearance from his mode or running yesterday. Midday beat Preakness by a head in this race, and we are in- clined to believe that had Preakness made the run- ning in the first mile he might have galloped home an easy winner, provided the owner of Alroy had not interfered with the arrangement. In the first race—the Thespian Stakes—theroe were orimnaly, twenty-three nominations, but | when the bugle sounded five only responded to the | call. These were Mr, Belmont’s bay filly Medora, by Kentucky, dam Camilla; H. P. McGrath’s bay colt Tom Bowling, by Lexington, dam Ry: Fowler; L. W. Jerome's bay colt, by Lexington, dam Kitty Clark; W. J. Bacon’s chestnut filly Dolorosa, by Exchequer, dam Tribulation; Zeb Ward's brown colt, by Asteroid, dam Fairy. Tom Bowling and Medora alternated several times for first, choice in the pools, but at the close Medora had it’at slight odas. Tom Bowling caused a great deal of delay before he could be started, but when he cut loose he soon showed daylight to the others, and came home an easy wiuner, ne the quickest time ever made by a two-year-old. Tom Bowling carried 100 lbs. Zeb Ward's colt was a good second, Me- dora third. The selling race had seven entries, comprising Zeb Ward's bay filly Cynthiana, by Tipperary, dam | by imported Hooton, to be sold for §750, carryin, | joseph Donahue’s chestnut horse Sanford, {hh nele Vic, dam Dolly Carter, $750, 111 lbs.; A. | Taylor's bay filly Henrietta, by Jerome Edgar, dam Minnie Minor, 00, 73 Ibs.; H. C. Dawson's bay mare Albuera, by Jeff Davis, dam Ninette, $500, 101 Ibs.; M. H. Sanford's bay gelding King Henry, by Lexington, dam Tokay, $500, 101 lbs.; John F. Chamberlain's bay gelding Impecunious, by Tippe- rary, dam Lucy Fowler, $500, 91 1bs.; and John Boughram’s black gelding Gerald, by Mickey Free, dam Rosette, $500, 101 lbs. Sanford was the first favorite, Henrietta second choice, King Henry third, Albnera, who sold in some pools last night | for $3 1n a $500 poo), won the race, Sanford second, | King Henry third, This was a great victory for the | fielders, the favorites being thus far defeated. In the Long Branch Stakes there were sixteen n nocond-chatee in “the pools were in high feather. it ¢ entries and only four starters, These were Thomas W. Dosweill’a bay filly Wine Sap, na Vundyke, dam Nina, and his bay mare Midday, by Ectipse, dam Ninette: M. HM. Sanford’s bay horse Preakness, by Lexington, dam Bay Leaf, and Joseph Donahue’s chestnut colt Alroy, by Australian, dam Nellie Gray. Preakness was the favorite over the field, Doswell’s two being second choice and Alroy the third. This was a very curiously run race for good horses like Preakness and Alroy. They allowed Wine Sap to lead several lengths through the first mile on little better than a hand gallop, and did not really 4 into fast work until they were rounding the upper turn on the last mile, when Preakness and Midday set to work in earnest. Alroy either could not or was not allowed to follow the others to the end, but lagged behind badly, coming in last Ina very mean contest, the time being contemptible for horses of this calibre. The fourth race, mile heats, best three in five, for the Schell Cup, had but two starters, These were H. P. McGrath’s bay mare Susan Ann and John F, Chamberlain's [she colt Brennus, Susan Ann won the race in three straight heats very handily, in most ordinary time, ‘The following are the details of the running as it came of — The First Race. of $50 each, play or pay, for two-year-olds, $100 and the third $60 out of | the stakes; three-quarters of a mile.

First Heat,—Brennus dashed away with his rider and ran nearly a mile before he was pulled up, When started again Susan Ann took the lead and kept in front to the end, winning the heat by eight lengths in 1:51, Second Heat.—This time Brennus took the lead, and running rapidly around the turn, was half a dozen lengths in front at the quarter . Goin down the backstretch Susan Ann gradually closed, making the affair very interesting to the unsophis- ticated, and at the half-mile pole Brennus was three lengths in front. On the lower turn Susan Ann shut up the gap, and lay up close to Brennus until he was within thirty yards of the stand, when she made several very rapid jumps and beat him a be dy under the string. The time of the heat was Third Heat.—Brennus again took the lead and was six lengths in front at the tied ole, four lengths ahead at the half-mile se le; but then Susan Ann went for him, and she closed up to his tail at the three-quarter pole, and, coming gradually on, won the heat by a length in 1:5644. There will be three races to-day at Monmonth Park, the first the being West End Hotel Stakes, one mile and three-quarters; the second race, mile heats, for all ages that have not won during either meeting, and the third race will be for the Hocy Stakes, which will be a dash of three miles, HALL’'S DRIVING PARK, L.

It is asserted that the agents of the administration, in order to save the large amount of money which has been bet upon a republican viotory, will endeavor to count out Merrimon by all means, fatr and foul. ‘The facilities possessed for doing this are great, fas the whole federal machinery of the administra- tion is at the bidding of the official motors, The districts in which the United States Mar- shals have worked hardest are those which have given the republican gains, and it is said that if they managed to prevent a fair show for the democrats at the polls they can easily mapas the returns and give them a different complexion from what they really bear. It is said that if anything like this is tried on the moral effect it will have in the country will be more dis- astrous to the cause of Grant than the loss of halt a dozen States. Among the visitors who called were Pos F. Daniels, Washington, D. 0.3 F. P. Crand, M. Illinois; Frank Moulton, New York; F. J. Koman, Secretary of State, Louisiana, and others, but the list of names is very slight. A German gentleman from Meheh Miss.—Mr, 8, Schulein—was among the callers. He says that if proper men would only take the stump in his State the chances of carrying it for the liberals would be greater than at present anticipated. The negroes are, he thinks, very accessible. Sumner’s letter has had a marked effect in arousing them from their servile adherence to Grant, and he says that if the position Greele: occuples were placed inits true light, and that they had a reliable assurance that they would be left in undisturbed possession of their political rights, a large number of the negroes would vote for the united liberal and democratic candidate, There have been no steps taken yet to inaugurate the contest, but Mr. Schu- Jein thinks they should be immediately taken. There is no falling off in the quantity of corre- spondence received, and the usual number of tele- grams which have kept pouring in for the last few days are still kept up, The main tenor of the in- quiries relate to the North Carolina election; and, if the State has really gone against the liberals, the disappointment of those who have been rejoicing over a victory for the pe few days will indeed be reat. Mr. F. P. Crand, the Member of Congress of linois, thinks the prospects in that State are good, and that there is every hope of carrying the State in the fall. The contest in Maine, judging from the letters and despatches which are being daily received, prom- ises to be a hot one, both sides making great prepa- rations for the contest. The whole energies of the Hberals will be put forth in the contest, particu- larly in Augusta, the home of Speaker Blaine. Sen- ator Sumner's reply to the Speaker 1s considered a crusher, and will doubtless have its effect.

A letter from @ prominent citizen, an ex-member of Congress, of Eufaula, Ala., says that the news of the victory in North Carolina-is causing great enthusiasm for Mr. Greeley in the State. The Grantites are much crestfallen, and refuse to take up the bets that are freely offered that Grant will not receive the electoral vote of five States, General W. Macartney has started for Vermont, where he proposes to take an active part in the contest. He was accompanied by State Senator Ladd, who returns to his home on the same mis- sion. No despatches were received direct from North Carolina yesterday. The Grant Headquarters, A very dull and quiet day was spent at the Grant headquarters yesterday, notwithstanding | that the news from North Carolina published in the morning papers was more encouraging than the despatches of previous days. The number of per- sons who called was not larger, but they had an Battimors, Md. increased appearance of confidence, and walked | eeel | Matthew xxi, and part of twenty-eighth v with a more elastic step than they have done since Thursday.

The letter of William Llo, Garrison has given great cnconragement to the publicans, and it is regarded by them as a conclu- sive answer to the Sumner negro letter, The ar- raignment of the Massachusetis Senator and the severe castigation administered to him by his old friend and associate, they assert, will have an efect all over the country, and if any negroes were causes, of tevnene in their allegiance to Grant the argu. ments of Garrison will liold them fast to the good cause, Nothing was said about Sumuer’s reply to Blaine, but this ts not strange, people seldom liking to talk about ® matter damaging to themselves, It is NE a ke that the meeting of veterans, to be held at Pitsburg on the 19th, will have a good effect in Pennsylvania, and will help to cement the republican ranks on Grant, the unfor- tunate divisions which have occurred between Forney and Cameron having done much to cause dissension and disunion, The letters which Colonel!

The Feast of Tabernacles—Opening Day of Sing Sing Camp Meeting—Good At- tendance and Bright Prospects—Ser- mons by Revs. Moorchouse and Apple- gate. Major the ‘day, his time to the SING SING, August 6, 1872, “The desert and the solitary place shall be glad for them” must have been designed to cover this camp meeting feature of American Methodism; for certainly very few others ever make the woods ring with prayer and praise. And here they are again on this venerable camp ground, inaugurating as they did to-day their annual meet- img for 1872. A more desirable place for camp meeting, say the trustees, has-not been discovered since the pilgrims of the Orient encamped at Elim. This grove, however, lacks the palm trees and the wells of water which old Elim possessed, and from which Israel drank and was grate- ful. There is, however, an abundant supply of clear and cool spring water gathered from a rivu- let which runs at the base of a wooded grove upon which the encampment is pitched, and raised to the top of the hill and distributed in a large tank by means ofa steam force pump located below. The grounds are clear and carefully laid out for the con- venience of all, and THE GROVE 18 UNSURPASSED FOR SiADB and comfort. The grounds are not extensive enough to admit of speculation in houses or lots, and very little improvement can be made in its topography from one year to another. Ifthe asso- clation had had a little more territory they might easily add a little lake to the attractions of the ground by enclosing or diverting a portion of the rivulet, which after a rain shower is swelled to goodly proportions. They might also lay outa little playground for the children, who with their parents occupy cottages or tents here for many days before and after the camp meeting proper. But as the design of these annual grove meetings is the glory of God and the salvation of souls, as the association declare, they probably don’t think that scupping and praying and boating and singing would harmonize very well in so small and 80 sacred a spot. The only thing that mars the grandeur and se- renity of this spot is the steep and rugged ascent by which it is reached. According to the testimon: of those who have climbed and are climbing bot! it is much harder to climb this hill than it ts Zion's hill. And as the poet sung of another road we may, with a little variation, say of this— True, ‘tis a rough and thorny road, And inortal spirits tire and faint, as they wend their way upward and onward to THE ELYSIUM OF THE FOLLOWERS OF WESLEY. It is just half an hour’s walk from the steamboat landing or the railroad depot to the camp ground, and twenty minutes’ ride. Yor a gouty or rheuma- tic old lady or gentleman no better prescription could be given than a ride in one of the numerous vehicles that py, between the depot and the ground, It will be almost certain to shake the life or the rheumatism out of them, and in either case they will be certainly cured. A boat ride of two hours on the Hudson, or a ride of one hour and twenty minutes by rail, will bring saints and sinners alike to the jumping off place, and while the former climb up Zion's hill, the latter very frequently stop just a little below to partake of the hospitalities of the State and to congratulate friends from whom they may have been long parted. Just now EVERYTHING ABOUT THE VILLAGER. WEARS ARELIG- 10US ASPECT. As soon as you step off the traif or the boat & hack driver accosts you with a poetic rigmarole, in which his own genius and that of Charles Wesley are so blended that you cannot well resist the temptation to ride in ‘is conveyance. The politi- cians of the village, too, have painted the demo- cratic candidate for the Presidenc: very much like a Methodist Nanay and hung his likeness across the Main street. As Methodists are, generally speak- ing, republicans, this is doubtless designed to catch some who may be wavering and halting between two opinions, and who, impressed with the Chris- tian meekness of the Philosopher’s face as painted on canvas, may decide to vote for “the great and good Dr. Greeley.” ‘Tho likeness is in striking contrast to one I saw suspended across the street near the depot in Tarrytown. It looked so like Peter B. Sweeny, with the mus- enone ut under the chin instead of on the upper Ps as n enterprising ang in this village very significantly placed the Philosopher's head in front of his store leaning on a watermelon. Of course it is not suggestive of pumpkins or soft heads, but is designed solely to make the voters acquainted with the head that will dispense wisdom at the White House next year or—elsewhere. There are very few preachers on the ground yet, but to-morrow a great many and a large number of | visitors are expected. Rev. 8. D. Brown, D. D., P. and Wm. McAlister have charge of the public s vices at the stand, and yesterday Revs, W. H. Ferris. D..; Oliphant, Brush, Hollis, Bow- dish and Morehouse, were present. The latter is pastor of a village church here, and as Rev. ‘McAlister remarked, is one of the few men who are not afraid to preach to small congregations, He did preach a very excel- jent sermon—not very logical, indeed, but ver, practical, and just sufliciently interspersed wit opener experiences and reminiscences to make It interesting to all classes and all ages. [lis text was $ 0 work to-day in my vineyard.”’ His theme was Chris- tian work, and he discussed it under three aspects, namely—t ne character and kind of work required of us; the place and the time of our labor. And then, asa windup, he spoke of the effect which this work has upon the Christian toiler himself as well as upon the hearts upon which he may operate, and | the abundant fruit which is certain to follow from faithful persevering labor in the Lord's vineyard, Rev. Mr. McAlister backed up the sermon | with a very brief but practical address, and Dr. Brown offered a few sugges- tions to the campers touching promptness | at the public services, and the quiet of their chil- dren, and the general decorum which should be | observed on the ground during such services, There were about one hundred and fifty persons at the meeting, and there are about two hundred on | the ground. ‘The regular services from day to day, | as announced by the Presiding Elder, are Pp aching at ten A. M., half-past two and seven P. M.; prayer meeting at eight A.M. and six P.M., and after evening preaching in the tents. A children’s meet- ing will be held daily at a quarter-past one in the afternoon, under the direction of some one to be appointed hereafter. Revs. C. H. Applegate and forehouse, of Sing Sing; Bedford street and For- syth street M. E. churches, New York, and the Swedish Bethel have prayer tents here, and be- tween this and Sunday half a dozen more will robably be put up, Dr. Brown congratulated he trustees and the campers on the goodly numbers present at the opening service, and said that last year there were so few persons on the ground the first day they could not hold public ser- vice until the everling, and on the second day there was not as many present as there are to-day. Everybody seems quite pleased with the promise of success thus given, The evening boat and trains brought about fifty men to the camp, so that at te seven o'clock service there were about three hundred persons present. The Rev. 0. H. Apple- gate, a local preacher, gave the people a very ex- in the evening o1 he power of personal effort trying to do good.” It was based on the story of the Roman Centurion who besought the Lord Jesus to heal a sick servant of his and the | marvel of the Saviour at the great faith mani- | fested by the Gentile soldier, The discourse | was designe! to supplement the sermon of the | RP'so admirably. At its close Dr. Brown gave a brief exhortation, after which the people repaired to a couple of the prayer tents and continued the services until ten o'clock P. M., when, at the sound of the bell, all such meetings are to cease at that hour, and the people are ex- pected to retire as soon as possible thereafter. In the culinary and domestic department of the encampment the competition will not be so sharp as it was last year, when thore were half a | dozen boarding tents on the ground, and | all of them lost more or less money. There are but two such tents this year and a restaurant, The price of board by the day is $1 253 for five days or more bt aday, and by the meal fifty cents cach for | breakfast anit tea and seventy-five cents for dinner, Tho fare to-day was between fair and middling, but | from to-morrow and onward the proprietors pro- mise first cles Voard, Like the Israelitish camp Of old, this Methodist encampment radiates to one centro, and that is the preactier’s cottage. All the tents and cottages on the ground form a succession of circles, the space between the circles being numbered as streets— First, Second, Third, &0.—and they are divided into east and west Led Central avenue, which is an almost straight lino from the entrance gate to the preaching stand. Tho services to-morrow evon- ing and thereafter will begin at twenty minutes past seven o'clock instead of seven, to give an op- rtunity to-the latest arrivals from the city to get Tote ‘grounds ip mo fox that service, Moyo anon, 4 YACHTING.’ THE CRUISE OF THE A ’ / A Run from New Haven t New London, In-Shore and Off-Shore Saili What the Peerless Did, _— On Boarp Yacut Mystic, OFF Pequor Hovss.
