Good Attendance and Great Antici- pations for To-Bay. THREE CAPITAL CONTESTS. ee Tom Bowling Wins the August Stakes, Meteor the Robins Stakes and Al- buera the Selling Race. Lona Branen, August 8, 1872, Another day of genuine light bright sunshiny enjoyment has closed gver the Monmouth Park second summer meeting, and to-morrow’s dawn will usher in the closing day of the series, when, no doubt, an immense crowd wil) be in attendance to witness the sport. A superb bill of attractions has been prepared, combining the most interest- ing features since the Longfellow-Bassett en- counters, in the steeple chase, and the four-mile run, for which Kingfisher, Littleton (Longfellow’s half brother), Monarchist, Alroy, Arizona and other capital horses are entered, It is not alittle fortunate for the present meeting that the club has been favored with magnificent weather, embracing the extremes of brilliancy and ofshadow. Saturday and Tuesday were both over- cast, cloudy days; Wednesday and to-day have been favored with sunshine, and at no time has the threatened rain interfered with the sport. To- day all was animation, as usual, on the course, and the lawn and the Grand Stand were occupied by bustling or admiring crowds, The ‘contests were spirited throughout and in marked contrast to those of Tuesaday, when the favorites thousand guns, and of course in a second or 80 were all dead—not, however, without having exhibited remarkable traits of character. HORRIBLE RITES OF THE SAVAGES. ‘They had barely died before the medicine men came up, and with their scalpels had skinned their faces and their abdominal portions, and had ex- tracted what they call ‘‘mafuta,” or fat, and their genital organs. With this matter which they had ‘extracted from the dead bodies the native doctors or waganga made a powerful medicine, by boiling it im large earthen pots for many houre, with Many incantations and shakings of the wonderful gourd that was only filled with pebbles. This med- icine was drank that evening with great ceremony, with dances, drum beating and general fervor of beart, THE PILLAGE OF TABORA, Khamis bin Abdallah dead, Mirambo gave his orders to plunder, kill, burn and destroy, and they ‘went at with a will. When! saw the fugitives from Tabora coming by the hundred to our quiet valley of Kwihara, I began to think the matter serious aud began my operations for defence, HOISTING THE AMERICAN FLAG. First of all, however, a loity bamboo pole was pro- cured and planted on the top of the roof of our fort- Jet, and the American flag was run up, where it Waved joyously and grandly, an omen to all fugi- tives and their hunters. THE HERALD FORT, ‘Then began the work of ditch making and rifle pits all around the court or enclosure. The strong clay walls were pierced in two rows for the mus- Kets. The great door was kept open, with Material close at hand to barricade it when the enemy came in sight, watchmen were posted on top of the house, every pot in the house was Silled with water, provisions were collected, enough to stand a siege of a month's duration, the ammu- nition boxes were unscrewed, and when I saw the 3,000 bright metallic cartridges for the American carbines I laughed within myself at the idea that, after all, Mirambo might be settled with American lead, and all this furor of War be ended without much trouble.

All night we stood guard; the urbs of Tabora were in flames; all the | Wanyamwezi and Wanguana houses were de- stroyed, and the fine house of Abid bin Sulemian had been ransacked and then com- Mittea tothe flames, and Mirambo boasted that “to-morrow” Kwihara should share the fate of Tabora, and there was a rumor that that night the Arabs were going to start for the coast. MIRAMBO RETIRES. But the morning came, and Mirambo departed, ‘with the ivory and cattle he had captured, and the people of Kwibara and Tabora breathed freer. ON TO UJI. And nowlam going to say farewell to Unyan- yembe for a while, I shall never help an Arab again. He is no fighting man, or, I should gay, does not know how to fight, but knows, personally, how to die.

Proceedings of the Star Chamber In- quest=The Crime in Cedar Grove. Despite the absurd efforts of the Acting Coroner of Montclair, N, J., and his jury to keep all the pro- ceedings of the recent murder inquest to them- pelves a HERALD reporter has succeeded in procur- ing all the essential points. Nearly all the witnesses | examined were residents of the vicinity of the scene of the murder, and not overburdened with educa- tion or intelligence. Henry Kohlman, the murdered man, was traced up to July 18 in the evening. One . Or two witnesses declared they neard pistol shots Bred the same night Kohiman mear the thicket in Cedar Grove, but the raons who fired the. shots could not discovered. David Hoffman, the milkman, for whom Kohiman formerly worked, was placed on the stand and subjected to a very severe cross- examination. He, as well as others who gave evi- @ence the day after the body was found, when the examination was first commenced, contradicted former statements in essential particulars, Hoff- mali Was sure that the man who leit his employ on July 25 was named Peterson, and not Henry Corby, a8 he had Previously stated. Others said the man’s name was Peters. There arose grave aus- picions relating to Hoffman; but nothing was cleared up except the fact, beyond a doubt, that the murderer or murderers w persons well uc- quainted with the neighborhood. Hofman has lived in Caldwell, on General Woodford’s estate, ars, He knew Kohiman eighteen years, and his lends in New York. On July 19 he visited that city; and told Kohiman’s friends that he was not sto be found anywhere. Other things came out which turned suspicion entirely from the man Corby, Peterson, or Peters, to another garter. The verdict was, “That the said Henry Kohiman, on or about the 19th day of July jast, at Cedar Grove, in the township of Caldwell and county aforesaid, was some person or persons to the jurors aforesaid ai present unkown, with force and arms, felo- Jonlously killed. The jury passed & resolution that in view of the enormity ofthe crime the Governor be requested to increase the reward from @iscovery and conviction of the murderer, AN UNSUOCESSFUL BURGLAR, William O'Brien, 8 young man residing at 510 Fast Twenty-second street, was found at a late bour Wednesday nignt in the bedroom of Patrick Barry, No. 49 Downtng street, and given into the custody of Officer Bell, of the Twenty-eighth pre- cinct.

In order to make things very attractive toa looker on at these races it is best to have all the favorites beaten or at least one or two of them. Then excitement culminates in a grand rip-up, and men doubt their own sanity, and swear that the winning horse is crazy, and that the thing was jockeyed, and that the horse couldn't do it again and all that sort of thing. But they are sometimes wrong in their opinions, as they appear to have been with Albuers, the victor, who made every- body wonder on Tuesday, This racer has won more reputation in the last two days than she had acquired in the rest of her life, and is now about to settle down and be comfortable, ‘The attendance to-day was fully as select as on any previous day of the present meeting, and the Grand Stand. was cheerful looking, though not filled by any means. Among the prominent gentlemen on the Grand Stand and lawn were noticed Genera! Van _ Vliet, Abraham Godwin, of Paterson, N. J.; Oscar M. Bas- sett, J. M. Post, Mr. George Hoey, Mr. Welsh, the owner of the famous Leamington; William B. Dins- more, Larry Jerome, Messrs. Coffin and Lawrence, Mr. Bradley and others equally wellknown. But it is of no use enumerating all that were present; for to-morrow’s display will eclipse say attendance during the present week, and to-nignt the Branch ig all agog-with interest for to-morrow’s events. Thereis quite alarge attendance of fashionable le here; among those whom 1 have noticed lay “tks layor Stokeley, of Philadelphia; William C. i and wife, Sheriff William R.

Three races came off; the first Deing the August Stakes, for two-year-olds, one mile; the Robins Stakes, for colts and fillies, fqals of 1869, two miles; and @ selling race, for all ages, with heaps of weight off for those that were to be sold cheap. All the races were satisfactory to the spectators, and all the favorites won throughout the day, which had not been the case before during the mecting. The two-year-old colt Tom owling with the tap of the drum and galloping leisurely to the end. Tom Bowling is the finest-looking two- year-old that has appeared this year. In the first race—the August Stakes—there were | nineteea entrics, but of this number only three came to the post. These were M. A. Littell's brown colt Wizard, by Concord, dam Dolly Morgan; H. P. McGrath’s bay colt Tom Bowling, by Lexing- ton, dam Lucy Fowler, and W. J. Bacon’s chestnut filly Dolorosa. Tom Bowling had to carry five pounds extra for winning the Thespian Stakes. He was, nevertheless, the favorite over the field at five to one, and won the race in a common canter im good time—1:47. Tom Bowling is the best three- year-old in America at the present day, and we predict for him a brilliant career next year. He is eniered in many of the stakes to be run in 1873, and commences in the North with the Jerome Stakes at | Fordham, the Travers at Saratoga, and Jersey Derby, Continental Hotel Stakes and Robins | Stakes, the last three races being at Monmouth Park. Should nothing go wrong with him, he will be dha win them al For the Robins Stakes, which had twenty-nine nominations, there were but five starters. ‘These were M. H. Santord's bay geiding Mildew, by Lex- ington, dam Mildred; D. R. Harness’ chestnut colt Meteor, by Asteroid, dam Maria Innis; D. Mc- Daniei’s bay colt Boss Tweed, by Asteroid, dam Alabama; C. C. & R. H. Park's bay filly E: lence Oaks, by Bonnie Scotland, dam Sal; , and Mc- Grath’s brown colt Jonn Doe, by Lexington, dam Lucy Fowler. Meteor was a great favorite over the fleld, He won an easy race, Experience Oaks being second, John Doe third, Meteor, it will be remembered, won the Jersey Derby, beating Jo Daniels and lots of others, and was backed heavily to win the Travers Stakes at Saratoga. He did not t a place, however, in that race, and it was run fr the fastest time ever made with 110 pounds upon three-year-old colts—s:084. Meteor is wrace horse that few can beat, and as he advances in age will earn a great deal of money for his owners, as he seems & Very sound colt aud is possessed of both {| speed and bottom. ‘The selling race had six entries, and an interest- ing affair it was. The starters were Mr. Dawson's two, by Jef Davis, dam Ninette, Albuera and Gayo, | brother and sister; Mr. Donaliue's bay colt Lord | Byron, by Kentucky, dam Lady Blessington ; Mr. | Boughrain’s chestnut horse Sorret Dan, by | nue, dam unknown; Mr, Taylor's bay filly Henri- | etta, by Jerome Edgar, dam Minnie Minor, and John | F.

After the death of Mr. Blenkiron, the great race- horse breeder of England, and who had the most extensive breeding establishment in the world, the estate had to be settled and the horses were brought under the hammer by the great Tattersall. The stock was divided into separate lots, com- mencing with the yearlings, the first sale being June 15, when fifty-eight lots were disposed of, fetching 17,106 guineas. The second sale of year- lings took place on the 6th of July, when forty-- three lots were disposed of. Some of these were “weeds,” and the whole of them only brought 5,030 epee, The brood mare and foals were disposed of in lots, on four consecutive days, beginning on the 23d and closing on the 26th of July. rat day sixty-seven Jots brought 17,115 guineas; on the second any seventy lots fetched 16,140 painess, on the third day sixty-seven lots sold for 16,625 guineas, and on the fourth day fifty-seven lots for 17,770 guineas, Then the stallions were disposed | of, there being twelve lots, which realized 34,720 | Re making a grand total of 124,505 guineas for the whole lot.

On Boarp Yacar Mystic, } STONINGTON, Conn., August 8, 1872. ‘The arrival of such a@ handsome ticet of yachts as comprised the Atlantic Yacht Club fleet of 1872 made considerable excitement in the seafaring town of Greenport, and the citizens came out in large numbers to inspect the yachts. Mr. Hatch’s handsome schooner Resolute appeared to be a great favorite, and her cabin a subject of wonder es well as admira- tion among those who were fortunate enough to gain access between decks. Last evening the captains of the different yachts and a number Of the guests invited Captain Stott on board the yacht Sea Witch. It was then decided to go on to Stonington, as there were not suflicient attractions at Greenport to induce them to make any further stay. This forenoon passed very quietly, some of the yachts going over to the camp grounds, on Shelter Island, while others took some ladies out for a Bail. A SPLENDID RUN TO STONINGTON. They were all back at anchor before one P. M., as Commodore Peet had decided to start about two P.M. The Sea Witch, Daphne, Alert, Bessie and Annie M, remained at Greenport, and will come on to Newport to-morrow under the command of Rear Commodore Monseéll. Shortly before two P. M. there was a rattling breeze from the southward and the Resolute topped her boom and tacked about the bay, waiting for the starting signal. The Peer- less and Mystic followed her example. The first gun was fired at five minutes past two, and shortly afterward the Resolute started sheet and ran for the entrance of the harbor with the wind dead aft. The starting gun boomed forth at ten minutes past two, and the Peerless and Mystic followed aiter the Resojute, cutting through | the water at about ten knots an hour. The balance of the fleet, including the Orion, the Qui Vive, Triton, Foam, Tidal Wave and- Nimbus got well away together and followed after the Mystic. The Tidal Wave hauled up aiittle in the wind und passing the stern of the Orion and Qui Vive heid on after the Foam, THE PEERLESS CAME UP bits and wing and passed to the starboard of the Mystic and started after the Resolute, which was waiting with her jib to windward for the feet to come up. ‘The Triton was considerably bothered by her anchor, as they were in such deep water, that it took her some time to get it home. The Foam uals closed upon the Triton, followed by the Tid ‘ave and Orion, The Foam was under main- sail, foresail, jib, sung jib, main and foregatf top- sails, and the Tidal Wave had the same canvas set excepting the panne The Resolute and Triton were under the same as the Tidal Wave. The Tidal Wave was off the weather quarter of the Foam and the Triton a little to the leeward of the latter, while the Peerless was about two cable lengths in the lead. The Mysttc came alter the Foam, followed by the Onion, Qui Vive and Nimbus. The Triton finally set her jib topsail and went up to the windward of the Foam, but hung there. The Peerless was off the Foam’s lee bow. The Resolute set her jib topsail when off the Orient, and was closel; the Tidal Wave; the latter set her ji drove uj a@way and went wing and wing. THE TIDAL WAVE TURNS BACK. The Tidal Wave then hauled up on the wind, fired a gun, and, after making a few tacks, went back to Greenport, where she is going on the ways to pre- ba for the New York Yacht Club cruise. Of the rient Point Hotel the Foam set her staysail, and the four schooners—Peerless, Triton, Resolute and Foam—started for Plum Gut, pretty well together. ‘The Orient was sailing well, and d the port side of the Mystic. The Resolute jibed her boom over on the starboard sid: and passed the stern of the Foam. The tide was boiling through the Gut, and notwithstanding the lusty breeze the yachts had all they could do to stem its current, ARRIVAL OFF ORIENT POINT, They passed the black buoy of Orient Point as followed by topsail, but on the Resolute, who finally squared foliows :— AM.

The Commissioners in Council—Oyster Wharves and the Maiden Lane Dump- ing Ground. . ‘The Commissioners of the Department of Public Docks met yesterday afternoon. Commissioner Kane was the only member of the Board absent. Commissioner Agnew presided. Mr. William H. Christie appealed against an in- junction issued by the Board that required him to | vacate the premises he leases in the immediate vicinity of piers 51, 52 and 53 East River. The whole oyster trade of the city and intezior was concentrated at that point; if it was removed above Fourteenth street it would entail much in- convenience and considerable expense, as the prin- cipal trade is confined to the winter months and | when ice is in the river small vessels cannot stem the tide without the aid of tu; The oyster busi- ness, he explained, amounted in the aggregate in this city to from twenty-five to thirty millions of dollars yearly. Shell-fish could not be stored warehouses or cellars, as the temperature diffe: many degrees. Mr. Henry was of opinion that a rule which ap- plied to one should apply to all, There would be a chance for Mr. Christie to obtain a monopoly if he continued to hold his present lease, as other smatier dealers had been com; to remove. The applicant asked for time until May—the end of the season—so that he. might fix upon some spot for | pocket of | ton oyster craft to discharge their cargoes, F hoe uestion was allowed to “lie on the able.” ‘The next subject that came up for discussion was the petition presented by a number of property that the resolution passed by the Board on the 18th of July last establishing a “dump- ing board” at the foot of Maiden lane be rescinded. | Commissioner Wood was strongly in favor of the action of the Board being sustained. He argued that the poor had Lge as Weil as the rich which ought to be respected, and that if the place of deposit was changed toa place higher up town it would be an | inconvenience to the poorer classes of the com- munity and the Police Commissioners, for the latter of whom they were obliged to provide fit and proper accommodation for the purpose of exporting lth | froin the city. Commissioner Henry opposed Mr. Wood, and | after a verbal strife the matter was put to the vo! ‘The motion to rescind the order of appointment*| was carried by three to one. | A few other less important subjects next came | upon the tapis for discussion, after which the Board adjourned, ‘THE OOMPTROLLER'S PAYMENTS, Comptroller Green paid yesterday as follows, viz:— Department of Public Charities and Correction, for use of that department Department of Public Varks, § To) See : will pay to-day, throu Pi Moog Falls, the “big pipe men on the I works frou Ninety-third to 113th street.

Prrrssure, Pa., August 8, 1872, This morning, about four o’clock, George H. Evans, arecent graduate of West Point Military Academy, shot and killed William Hoegerling in South Pittsburg. At the recent examination at West Point young Evans graduated with the rank of second heutenant and had been assigned to the Tenth United States cavalry. Before his departure to join his command, a leave of absence was given him to visit his parents at this city, A short time before starting Evans had occasion to go to the yard in the rear of his father’s: house, and while there HEARD MEN PRYING OPEN THE GATE. Jan ‘The gate epeediy yielded and two men entered: the yard. They proceeded to the back window of the kitchen, and, finding it unfastened, they opened it and the watcher saw them enter the house. The kitchen door had been left opem by him when he came out, and in the sg room he had left his vest and his coat, in which latter ‘ment was revolver. Not deeming it practicable. to go into the house after his pistol he slipped quietly through an alley gate and ran down to the toll house of a bridge crossing the Monongahela River, and borrowed from the keeper a Colt five shoo! re- volver. Shoeless, hatless, and with nothing bat his pants and undershirt on, the youth hurried back, and as he approached the gate A MET THE TWO MEN jugs coming out of the house. He cailed on them to- halt and surrender, but, mstead of obeying, both started offon arun. Evans shouted to stop or he Would fire; but the great burley rufians, either one of whom was a giant alongside of the Lieutepan: eee al his warning, he fired as he ran. A thir shot, ane HOEGERLING SUDDENLY STOPPED AND STAGGERED, while his companion continued his flight and disa) peered, Evans ran up to the mah who bad halted, 00K him by the collar and led him back to the front ofhis father’s house, when he was joined by two patrolmen who had been attracted by the noise of the phooung. The prisoner was bleeding profusely, and in a few minutes became deathly pale and sank to the ground. He ut his hand in his pocket aud drew forth @ a vill, which he handed to the officer, telling him that that was what he got in the house, His person was searched, however, and in bis. pockets were found a gold watch, chain. and agold ring. These articles and money belonged to Evans, and had been taxen from his garments left inthe dining room, ‘The burglar soon after be- came insensible, and died before reaching Father's saloon, near Eleventh street. Physicians who had ne ae made an investigation and found that all THREE SHOTS HAD PENETRATED HOEGERLING’S BACK and passed completely through his body, one com- ing out near the right nipple and one near the breastbone, and the third close to the left arm- pit. Any one of the shots was suilicient. to- cause death, The deceased was a desperado. of the worst stripe—a large, stout young man, twenty five years of age, and had served a term in the Penitentiary. Evans, who is now in the Tombs awaiting an investigation, is twenty-two years of age and rather small-sized. He bears an. excellent character among all who have his ac- quaintance. He was a bright scholar at West Point, to which academy he was appointed on recom- mendation of Hon. J. H. Moorhead. THE JERSEY POLICE WAR Police Headquarters in a State of Siege—The. Writs Served and Treated with Contempt— One of the New Commissioners Sere- naded—He Will Fight It Out on That Line. ‘The war between the rival police factions in. Jersey City bas fairly begun. The writs were served yesterday on all the discharged Commis- sioners except Mr. Pritchard, who will be served to- day if he be in the city. Mr. Gross received his suc- cessor, Mr. Monks, very courteously, but informed: him in very emphatic terms tnat he did not recognize the document, and would not pay any attention to it whatever;. furthermore, that he ignored the Governor’s- authority altogether, He desired Mr. Monks to- understand distinctly that he would not give up papers or anything else in his possession which be- longed to the Police Department. Mr. Edmondson. spoke in similar terms to Mr. Hart, but Mr. Goetze was very careful and reserved in his expressions: towards Mr. Gaede. The convicted Commissioners have thus set the Governor's authority at deflance, and they will cer- tainly have to endure the consequences. In addi- to the severe measures which are about to be enforced against them they will very probably be- called upon to plead to half a dozen indict- ments at the next term of the Oyer and Terminer. These indictments, which were found last February, the District Attorney did not in- tend to press against them, believing that the one conviction and sentencé would secure their: ood §=behavior, But since they unfurled the nner of deflance at the Chief Magistrate of the State, the Governor and the Attorney General have- been in constant communication on the subject, One result of their deliberations, it is s on. reliable authority, is that the convicted Commis- sioners will be compelled to ‘take arms against a. sea of troubles” at the next term of Court. In the meantime they wili know no rest, for the Governor and Attorney General both declare that “out they must go” very soon. ‘The Police Head \uarters and the several precinct. stations were converted into citadels yesterday. The unfortunate patrolmen were allowed only haif an hour for supper last night. The iron-railed gate leading to the desk where books are kg> ~ and through which members of the press Naw hitherto passed without question, was closed ant fastened securely yesterday, and an order wai issued by the chief that no person should be aloweé. to pass through. A posse of police was kept o. ard all day, to be ready for any emergency.. nvery person who approached the building was: | placed under surveillance, ‘The recusant Commissioners say they will resist by force any attempt of the new Commissioners to- take possession. Mr. Edmondeon and his leuten- ant, Mr. George Warrin, seemed very une: on Wednesday night, and they loitered around the: headqnarters till a late hour as if they anticipated. an attack. " The new Commissioners are very reticent, bus. very resolute. Hach of them has been called upon. by ‘Many prominent citizens who promise to sus- tain them Aedenpgy me that may arise out of the: present dimicultics. Everybody who called on them. urged them to rid the city of the convicted Commis- sioners at all hazards. There will be no lack of public support when the crisis of the struggle ar- rives. Mr. Gaede, in particular, has been the re- ciplent of warm congratulations. Two nights ago. a lorchtight procession was formed and th» party, headed by a band, inarched to his house and ten- dered him a serenade, The spokesman of the party, addressing Mr. Gacde, said that the residents on the hill were very anxious that he should aceept. the nomination of Police Commission-r tendered him in sucha complimentary mauner by Governor Parker. They had heard that Mr. Gaede declined to accept, and, therefore, the association known as: “The Gobd Brothers” called upon him on bes half of the people of the Fourth district, him their support in any emergency 28 he had accepted the position. Mr.. Gacde assured them that he would be the last map to retire from the field or turn his back to the foe in this contest. This briet announcement elicited loud cheering, and the band continued tu play tul & late hour, FIRE IN LEONARD STREET. A fire broke out yesterday morning on the fourth floor of the five story stone building 60 Leonard street, which was occupied by Simon, Weil & Co., shirt and drawers manufacturers, that caused a damage of $4,000.
