mH — RACING AT MONMOUTH PARK. Closing Day of the Second Summer Meeting. ea A CROWNING SUCCESS. reeniditaconieteniides! % 4 Magnificent Attendance and Splendid Sport. Daffy Won the Steeple-Chase, Susan Ann ® the Four-Mile Dash and King Henry the Consolation Purse. 2 ee Loxo Brancn, Atgnat 9, 1872, The closing day of ‘the Monmouth Park racing meeting was a brilliant and highly success{il air, end was attended by an assemblage of the most Select character. In polnt of numbers, too, there ‘was a vory markod contrast to the preceding Mays, for by one o'clock, before the arrival of the last New Work train, the Grand Stand was more than half filled, and by the time the horses were calicd for the first race there was present the largest umber of spectators ever gathered on the course, with the exception of the concourse that witnessed Longfeliow’s triumph over Bassett. The day was One of the most exhilarating and beautiful that ever smiled on Monmouth Park. Grand Stand, lawn and quarter stretch were scenes of bustie fand animation long before the hour of stariing, and the sombre tints of citizens’ dress were brilliantly relieved by the bright jackets and caps of ‘ THE JOCKRYS. At the judges’ stand quite a group assembled to witness the weighing of the riders, and the lithe fellows were full of badinage toward each other a3 to the result of the coming contests. ‘Bobby Swim, in his colors of grecn and yellow, ohaffered the other jockeys because he missed his Whip, and naively suggested that if they did not return itto him he would have nothing to whip ‘Susan Ann up the homestretch with. Johnny Sam- pie, old John Harper's favorite Jockey, 8 colored ‘Jad, with a girlish face, tall, slender and quict in de- Ieanor, loaned against the wall and said nothing. His colors are yellow jacket and red cap, and he ‘wears to-day the same costume in which he rode jhis master's great horse to victory. Johnny Hyland attracts considerabie attention by his good- ‘ooking face and bright, new silk riding costume Of purpie, with straw-colored sash. Three or four black pickaninnies, with jockey attire, riders for both MeGrath and Harper, flit about among the crowd and attract notice by their diminutive size, * THE ATTENDANCE OF LADIES was fully five times greater than on any previous day, and they were costumed as befitted the bright, beantifal weather and the Importance of the events fo be decided. Eight thousand persons were mot at all an exaggerated figure for the attendance, and a refreshing northeasferly breeze fanned comfort into the crowds and Yende red them extremely pleasant and endurable, Around the pool-selling stands there was an ex- cited though at all times orderly crowd of betting Men, and pools went of rapidly, though no very eavy figures were reached. Jim Mace came up ‘om the Highlands, his training quarters, accom- nied by Billy Edwards and Dooney Harris, and looked exceedingly “fine drawn.’ He has been training close for his contest with O’Baldwin, to take place a week from to-day, and his usually plump face was sharpened down considerably and a3 bronzed-looking as a copper cent of 1812. It | Would be useless to attempt to enumerate ALL THR NUTED PEOPLE, poth of high and low grades of life, who | wero assembled at the course; for almost all of those who attend race meetings were here to-day, ‘Bmong them being Harold Wallack, the Hi ers, Dennis McMahon, Lawr ‘nes, O. * Saree the inscparable nets Ayr ssett, Henry Dickel, J. M. Post, Mr. Withe! of the American Jockey Club; Dr. Weldon, Mr. l'Anson, brother of the famous English horse breeder; Dr. Cattenach, the brothers Eckerson, of Nyack; Harry Wall, agent of Dion Boucicault; old John Harper, Joho F. Chamberlain, James McMann, Charite Ran- fom and a thousand other men well known in all the ranks of lie, THE EXCITEMENT AT TIMES in the races was Intense, but the enthusiasm cul- urinated at the close of the four-mile contest when | Susan Ann took the race from under Lottleton’s | nose. A great cheer went up and the crowd on the | front steps of the grand stand rushed for the 1 } ing at the judges’ stand and sent up a shout of | greeting to the winner. Ina moment a crowd of , three or four hundred persons was assembled on the quarier stretch, and it was a motiey gathering. | The Slable Loys, all blacks, belonging to McGrath's stables, danced barefooted in the dust and whirled | their dingy old hats in the air. Bobby Swim, the | i are's rider, became a lion on the five minutes after the close of) the race, and waa surrounded by a group of con- gratuiating admirers, most of whom doubtless had ‘won money in the pools on his food jockeyship. August Belmont came down to the cours mornins train to see Kingtisher, and expressed the utmost confidence in HIS ABILITY TO WIN provided he did not break down, opinion that the horse could great victory or go down in ruin, unfortunately for him it was the worse alternative. The same opinion was entertained by most of the leading horsemen. There was a long interval allowed by the jndges before the horses were called for the third and last race, and the lawn and grand stand re-echoed with the hum of voices «liscussing the event. Around the pool- sellers the largest crowd of the meeting was gathered, no doubt intent on getting square, as they had tost heavily on the favorite as well as on second and third choice in the race. It virtually ended the day's sport and proved a worthy event to terminate the second summer meeting of ‘k course. Both meet- in, roved highly successful aud were well merited, and there will be thousands anxious to visit the splendid course at the opening Of the acason in July, 1873, and who will regret that eo long a time must elapse ere they can again as- semble here to witness such splendid sport. The arrangements by the New Jersey Southern Railroad Company have been excelicnt for the transporta- tion of Visitors to and from the course, and will be still more perfect by next season, and there is ao Teason to doubt that Monmouth Park wall have-be- come the great racing arena of America before the ciyse of next season. THE RACING. *. He was of the either win a ‘The track was in very good condition, but it was | & littie deep in dust, there not having been a good rain in Monmouth county for weeks. Now that the races are over, the farmers in the neighborhood of the Monmouth Park will hope for rain, as they require it; but forbore from praying for it during the ri meeting, for fear the sport would be spoiler Three of the best races came off yesterday that ever took piace of any track, cach of them being Won as closely as it was possible to have them. The firat was a steeple chase of nearly three miles, and it was won by only a neck by Duffy; and then the four-mile dash was won only by a length by Susan Anp, and the Consolation was run 80 closely that the winucr only gotin by a head, and the second horse only beat the third by a like distance, while the fourth was beaten by a neck. In the first race—the steeple chase—there were nine entries, but only five would accept the weights en they were announced. These were Mr. Ban- ityne’s brown gelding Dutty, by Hunter's Lexing- ton, dam Olio, by Oliver, 1431bs. ; Joun HW. Tully's bay gelding Vesuvius, by Vandyke, dam 1. Berry, 141 Ibs.; John F, Chamberiain’s bay coit Impecn- nious, by Tipperary, dam Lucy Fowler, 125 ib Shea's brown colt Astronomer, by Asterio’, dam Miss Carter, 128 Ibs., and Joseph Donatue's brown horse Liind Tom, by Star Davis, dain Margravine, 146 tba. Duffy had the call in the betting, selling for first choice, Blind Tom second and Vesuvius “third. Several “disasters” took place during the race to all the horses except Duffy and Vesuvius, ahd they ran as fine a race to the finish as was ever acen, Dulty winning by a short neck, Impecunious came in third, haifa mile behind the others, after two falls, and won third money, The kecond race was a four-mile dash between Hi, P. McGrath's bay mare Susan Ann, by Lexing- ton, dam Roxanna; Jotin Harper's brown horse Lyttleton, by Leamington, dam Fanny Holton; Mr. BRannatyne’s chestnut horse Milesian, by Mickey Free, dam by Wagner, and A. Belmont's bay horse, Kingfisher, by Lexington, dam Eltham Lass. The latier was first choice In the pools, Susan Ann sec. ond, Lyttleton third, Milesian bringing a very snoall price.

There were eight ‘ters for this race, comprising John Boughram’s jack gelding Gerald, by Mickey Free, dam Rosette, by Yorkshire, carrying 90 Ibs.; J.

McGrath's bay dam Rox- filly Jury, by Lexspgin, anna, 77 Ibs., and Coftin & Lawrence's bay colt Lochiel, by Bonnie Scotland, dam Bonnet, 115 1bs. The latter was the favorite, as he has been a very successful colt, both over timber and on the flat. The weight, however, yesterday was just enough to beat him. He was @ good third, Bing Betty won the race by @ head, Gayo second, and there was but a head between Gayo and Lochiel, A better handi- cap has seldom been made, as the horses Janded all ina bunch at the finish, The following are the detaila of the racing as it came off:— The First Race.

The third jump was over Another fence, crossing the track a little beyond the quarter pole, ‘They then ran in the outer fleld, past the stables, down one hill and up another, where there was & wali made of sods, When the horses made this Jump Impecanious and Astrohomer were side and side, Biind Tom third, Vesuvius iourth, Duffy fi(th. They then passed out of sight to make a jump over a fence and ditch—a most dificult jump—tnen over & Wall and again over a ditch, all ont of sight from the stand. Then they came into the iuner fleld over a fence. Blind Tom was then leading, Impe- cunious second, Vesuvins third, Dutty fourth, As- tronomer filth, They next jumped over two sod walls and came up dn front of the stand for the hedge and Wator fuse. Blind Tom was leading as he came to the hedge, but there he stopped sud- denly, nearly throwing the rider over his head. Impecunious came up snd went over it hand- somely and took a commanding tead, being fifty ‘aie in front of Duffy at the next jump, the wall n front of the Club House; Vesuvius third, | Astronomer fourth. Impecunious kept the lead, followed by Duffy, then Astronomer, Vesuvius bringing up the rear. Impecumous ran so slowly tora short time that Duty went to the front, and led over the fence leading to the outer fleld, Impe- cunious second, Astronomer third, Vesnyius jar | behind, They then passed ont 0! sight again down the hill ‘beyond the stables, and when they ap- peared to take the wall at the top of the high round, Vuffy was still leading, Astronomer second, impecunious third and Vesuvius fourth. They were well together at this time; but when they went down again to the fence and waier, Impecunious raninfront. As they jumped the sod wall at the top of the hull Impecunious was leading, Dufty sec- ond, Astronomer third, Vesuvius fourth, They then passed down to a blind ditch, again out of sight Of the public, It was aiso out of sight of the horses, being hidden by high (ier Impe- cunious jumped Into it and fell, throwing Met- calf heavily. Duffy passed to the right of him and escaped ; but.as Astronomer came up he fell over Im- pecunious, giving ley a burster, Astronomer BS s00n a8 he got “uy off without his rider, and was no louger in the race. After a lapse of two or three minutes Metcalf mounted Impecunions again, and made after the others, a half mile behind them, desirous of getting the third premium, which was $50. When Dutty, the leading horse, catae up from the ditch and showed himself entering the in- ner fleld by jumping a fence, he was leading Vesu- vius ten lengths, but the latter was now running at a rapid rate and overhauling him gradually. There were two walls in the field on the way to the water leap in front of the stand; going over cach Duty led four lengths. When the latter ap- proached the water he dashed at it rapidly, was six lengths ahead of Vesuvius when he landed. Vesuvius then put on steam atter getting over the water safely, and closed on Duty quickly to the wail in front of the club house. When Duly jumped over this wall he was but two lengths in iront, He kept tuis advantage over the fence into the regular track; but then Vesuvius made another gallant effort to overtake Dutfy and win the race {f possible. When Duffy jumped the hurdle at the half-nile pole there was no daylight between him and Vesuvi and ‘the latter seemed to be running at ease, closed up to the head of Dutly, as they entered the homestretch, and as they jumped the last hurdic, 100 yards from home, they were in the air toget They landed on the fly, and kept going under whip and spur to the i , Duty winning the race by aneck. Impe- cunious was beaten over half amile, ‘the time of } the race was 7:55. THE SECOND RACK. Purse $1,500, for all ages; dash of four miles; first horse, $1,200; second horse, $200; 100. i. P.

They went in this way around the upper turn, Atthe quarter pole Lyttie- ton led one length and a@ half, Susan Ann second, four lengths ahead of Milesian, the latter bei: lengtus in advance of Kingfisher, who was puiled double to keep bim back. There change in the positions of the horses to the hatf- mile pole, nor was there around the lower turn, | As the horses entered the homestretch Bob Swim brought Susan Ann to the front, and as she passed under the wire at the end of the first mile, which was run in 1:59, she led two lengths, Lytileton sec- ond, two lengtis in advance of Milesian, who was ten lengths ahead of Kingfisher, the jockey of the latter sawing him from side to side to keep him back, Goin; around the upper turn Susan Ann opened = the fp to four lengths at the quarter pole, Miesian having run into second place and leading Lyttleton two langths, Kingfisher still fighting lis jockey to go on fast At the If-mile pole Susan Ann led four lengths, Milesian second, three lengths in advance of L tleton, w r There was no change during the remainder of the mile, and agsthey passed under the string, after doing the two iiles in 3:48, Susan Ann was lead- ing four lengths, Milesian second, three lengths in front of Lyttleton, the latter being fifteen lengths ahead of Kingfisher. As they ran around the | upper turn Susan Ann kept the gap open and Lyt- | tleton fell off several lengths, and at the quarter pole the mare was four lengths tn front of Milesian, who was six lengths in advance of Eyteeton the latter being about ten lengths ahead of Kingtisher. Afver the latter left the quarter pole and had run about one hundred and fifty yards he suddenly | came toa stop, and his jockey dismounted and dis- covered that the great horse had broken down inthe same place that he gave way at Saratoga in his training for the tour-mite dash with Longfeilow last | summer. The favorite being now ont of the race | the others began to put their best foot foremost, | but there was no change of place during the mile, The horses, however, got closer together, and as Susan Arn led two lengths under the string at the | end of the third mile, the three miles having been run in 5:43, Milesian was second, one length ahead of Lyttleton, Milesian now made play, and he went up and Collared Susan Ann on the upper turn, | two lengths ahead of Lytticton, The two leaders were yoked from there to near the half-mile pole, | When Milesian went to the front and Jed past that | point half a len Lyttleton was moving ap at this time, and he took sides with Susan Ann, He | then forced the pace, und an Ann feli back, As the horses tan around the lower turn MUesian led a neck, Lyttleton second, one length in front of the mare, | and they came on in this way into the homestretch, | A bewntifal struggie then began. Lyttleton was forced to the front, having beaten Milesian two hundred yards from home, but before the backers of the gallant little brown horse had a chance to hurrah Bob Bwitn began to encroach on their Buc+ cess with Susan Ann. Bob gave her whip and spurs, and, coming with a gallant rush, passed ilesian and then Lytticton, and came home a winner of the race by two lengths amid the loudest ghonty that have been heard at Monmouth Park $ necting, It waa almost equal to fe | Kentucky — screech | ease when Longtellow beat Harry Hassett in July, Lyttleton was second, twe length in advance of ‘Time of the four miles, 7:40, The Third Race. | Milesian. 0 | Thursday night became engaged in a quarrel, i} | check, inflicting a severe and painful wound | and only by the greatest care his life was saved. | time ConsOLATiION HanDicar,—Purse $500, for beaten | and finest quality, horses, all ages (winners excluded) ; one mile and @ john McCormack’s b. g. 1 2 3 teseescceses & a's g. ¢.

A brisk run up the homestretch brought them under the string in. the following order:—Hen- rietta first, Jury second, Gerald third, Gayo fourth, Lochiel fifth, Brennus sixth, Sorrel Dan seventh, King Henry eighth. Going aronnd the npper turn several ¢ pig took place, and as they reached the genre Role Henrietta still had @ little the best of it, with Gerald second, Jary third, Gayo fourta, Lochiel fifth, Brennus sixth, Sorrel Dan seventh, King Henry eighth, Jury now stopped for some wnexplained cause, and foll in the rear. At the half-inile pole Henrietta still showed the way, with the gallant little ranaway second, Brennus third, Lochiel fourth, Gayo fifth, King Henry sixth (the latter now beginning to move with some degree of speed), Sorrel Ran seventh and Jury eighth and done for. Going around the lower turn there was a vigorous struggle among the whole of the horses, and as they passed the three-qnarter pole the little runaway was in | front, Brennus second, Henrietta third, Lochiel fourth, King Henry fi‘th, Gayo sixth, Sorrel Dan seventh and Jury eighth, merry rattle up the homestretch, which was s0 close as they ap- proached the stand that no one could say which ‘was to win until they passed under the wire, ended by King Henry being first by a head, Gayo second, a very short head in front of Lochiel, who was a neck in advance of Geraid, Brennus fifth, Sorrel Dan sixth, Henriettn seventh, Jury cighth, This was the most beautifal finish that has taken place during the meeting, and proves that the adjust- ment of the weights on the several horses was well made. ‘The time of the mile and a half was 2:43. And thus ended the second summer meetihg at Monmouth Park. HALL'S DRIVING PARK, L. I. A Day of Much Sport—Three Trotting Eventse—Bully King, .Fddy Goff and Tom King and Mate the Winners. To those patrons of the turf that did not attend the last day's races at Long Branch the events at Hall's Driving Park, on the Coney Island road, on Long Island, were sufficient to give them plenty of amusement, There were three contests—one a match, a sweepstakes and a team race, The first of these was a match of $200, between J. H. Stryker'’s bay horse Daddy, to wagon, and owner's brown horse Bully King, in harness, Four heats were trotted, when Bully scored the victory. The second event was a sweepstakes of $300, in | which there were three contestants, these being the chestnut gelding Eddy Gott, the gray horse Gray Squirrel and the brown horse Biddiecomb. The first named, after an interesting event, won the money. The third and last contest was the team race, in which there were five entries and but two starters, A prettily matched and equally stepping pair, driven by Colonel Dickey, won t urse, 3 of the day's The fo:lowing are the sumi sport HALL's Dervina Park, L. ‘1, August 9, 1872 Match $200; mile heats, best three in five.

Then the pace quickened, and Lulu drew out from the others and went up second, A hurry sent them albon, but the race was Fullerton’s, and he came home at ease first in 2:25, Lulu second, Derby third and None- such fourth, At the head of the homestretch Burke fell, and died in a few minutes. Second Heat,—Trinmph having gone on to Burke’s éniky at his fall, was injured and drawn, Betting at large odds on Fullerton against the fleld. At the first try the horses got away, Derby first, Fullerton last; but the turn put Fatierton first, and he was never reached after, and led home easily in 2:24%, Derby second all through, and beaten a length only.

The pace was good down the backstretch, along which Fullerton moved up to second place, and was at Derby's wheel at the half mile in 1:113%. All kept place around the turn till just at the end, where Fullerton at a dash lapped Derby and heading at Once ted into the stretch a length. This he made, too, at a distance from home, where Derby break- ing fell off and Fullerton jogged home in 2:2334, Lulu as third and Nonesuch last, THE This was for the SECOND RACE, mith grand purse of $10,000, free to all horses, wit Lucy, Goldsmith Maid, Ameri- can Girl and Henry.

Lucy was first after that all the way, and was never lapped, winning by two lengths, American Girl was second up to near the half mile pole, where, »reaking, Golasmith Maid passed her, and thence home was second... Near the stand Mace held the Girl up and jou d in ttird, Henry was beaten a dozen lengths, having behaved badly all through, ‘Time to the quarter, 85; half, 1:09; miie, é. Second Heat.—The betting now stood at 109 on the Maid to 75 on the field, which was freely taken by Lovell and his friends, the former showing great confidence in the American Girl The way in which the Girlwent the first heat insured the backers of the Maid to free betting. This heat turned out one of the best ever seen and resuited in a grand vic- tory for American Girl, both in the style in which she trotved it and in the time, 2:174/, which beats all ever made on this track except by Dexter, She now takes rank with that great horse, and without dispute. A heat trotted in open sight of thousands all the way, and a hundred watches at- testing the time, ls an honor no one will doubt, or carp or question, Mace outdid himself by the splendid manner in which he drove her, A grander heat was never see! Third Heat. n. capital start sent Henry to the front; but he broke at once, and lost it in ten rods, All bad changed places, and Lucy led, with the Maid second and the Girl tnird, gi lapped and going tremendously, Henry was out of’ the coutest. On lap the three horses ma the tnrn, and were still lapped as they passed the quarter, in 3445 The pace Wag grand, Lucy bt first, Mald second and Girl third, — the ipping — brush still held, and neither gave back for ten rods; then the Maid drew forward and headed Lucy, but her push carried her off her feet and she did not gain by it.

SUICIDE IN NEWARK. | A dersey Justice Shoots Himself, John McKnight, a jtstice of the peace for the Seventh ward of Newark, committed suicide yes- terday morning at his residence in Colden street in that city. About a month ago he was sunstruck, Since then he has given frequent evidences of in- sanity, and for weeks past has been over-induigent in the use of spirituous liquors. On Sunday last an article in a local paper refiect- ing on his drinking propensities fearfaliy excited him. He afterwards became very despondent, and sald he would be ashamed to show his face again upon the street. Yesterday morning he arose and gave his sick child some medicine, retiring again to bed, Between four and five o'clock he again arose { and went into the yard, Rabel 7 shortly after to his kitchen, In a few moments his wife heard the report of a pistol, but thought her husbanc was shooting a | cat. Not | hearing any noise after the report she became alarmed, and went into the room where the shot was fired, and found her husband sitting upon a chair, holding In one hand a navy revolver, with which he had committed the fatal act. The neighbors were immediately called and # physician summoned, but the suicide breathed his last before the medical man arrived, On examining the body it was discovered that McKnight had placed the muzzle of the revolver in his mouth and fired, the ball entering the throat, and passing through to | the spine. BLOWING A SAFE OPEN IN TRENTON BY BURGLARS, In the hight of Thursday the oMice of Messrs, | Richardson & Heath, Stockton street, was broken into by thleves, and the safe was blown open with fine glazed powder. Fortunately, the firm have been in the habit of removing the money from the office when hasiness closed, and did #0 the night in ques- tion. In stamps and money the thieves obtained about $3, which would not pay for the powder, nd trouble. The safe is one of Gayley’s maniifacture, and has been butsted open taree times since it was the property of the tormer pro- prietor of the lime works, Mr. George James, de- ceased, and the present firm. The sound of the explosion was deadened by the use of blankets thrown over the safe. A sinall quantity of powder was left by the burglars, and is of te strongest Third Heat.—The betting, in extraordinary incon- sistency, now brought the Maid as favorite at 100 on her to 75 on the field. The end of this heat showed its wildness and stupidity. American Girl never allowed Goldsmith Maid a show for the heat, ‘The start was Henry first, Goldsmith Maid second, American Girt third, Lucy fourth, A quick ace sent the Girl to the front, the Maid going off her feet as she was passed. Catching quickly, she did not lose her place, while Lucy fell back. The rush sent them to the quarter in thirty-four seconds, where the Girl, still leading, led a iength and more. The Maid, next to her, led Lucy fourlengths. In straight going tne Maid made a brugn and drew to a lap on the Girl, but skipping under the pressure, felt or und the Girl opened a gap speedily, keeping it until she led to the halfmile pole in 1:08, by two lengths.. Going on to the turn,Lucy was sent for- ward, and, atthe middie of it, got toa lap on the Maid. The pace was now rushing, and all came to close quarters, going together ona lap. The Maid | for a moment showed in front, but it carried her to a@ run, by which she lost, and American Girl went to the front a length, which she had as she came into the homestretch, hold- ing it by her strong pace. Goldsmith Maid began to ahow weakness and swerved out- ward, Lucy was now brought tp and took place in the track next to American Girl. Then came the great push, Lucy getting to the Girl at midway up the homestretch, It was now game and foot that were to win, for side by side they trotted and yard by we they strode together, head and head; and to the very end it was doubtful which would ‘win, They crossed the score locked, and so close that a but the judges could decide which was the winner. ‘The excitement became intense amid the thon- sands to hear the announcement. At length the result was posted:—“Lucy winner, by a bare head, in 2:193/."" Applause followed in hurrahs; but it was faint in comparison with it given to American Girl In the last heat. Fourth Heat.—there was now no betting. The backers of the Girl would not venture, for itswas to herabrash all the way, as first Maid and then Lucy would go at her; and so it was one against two, Once off Lucy made play for the lead, and ponies, Henry got it, but gave way to the aid, and let her tead, American Girl settled down into the third place. The first. quarter showed that both Lucy and the Maid had the foot of her, and the race was practi- cally over at that point. Lucy and the Maid led alternately all through, and ended the heat by a fine brush, coming home lay nd nearly yoked, but with a neck to Lucy as ssed the score in 2:22, Goldsmith Maid second and American Girl third, the place she had heid all the way through, A PICKPOCKET OAPTURED, William Reilly, residing at 131 Macdougal street, yesterday morning appeared before Justice Fowler, ft the Jefferson Market Polige Court, and charged shat, while axleep On his stoop Monday night, Jotn Reilly picked his pocket of a silver watch, Officer McDevitt, of the Fifteenth precinct, upon arrest- ing Reilly een, morning, found the watch in hia possessio' admitted the charge and was locked up fer trial, | dine ee ‘SUPREME COURT—CHAMIBERS. Auxious to Escape the Peniteatiary. Refore Judge Barrett. A few days since John Faton was convicted in the Court of Special Sessions of assault and bat- tery and sentenced to four months to the Peniten- tiary. Application was made yesterday morning by Mr. McCieliand for his release on bail pending an appeal to the General Term of this Court, It was urged that, the accusation being that of felonious assault, the Special Sessions Court had no jurisdic tion of the case; and further, that the sentence was passed by different aiete than those holding the trial. . Sullivan, tant District Attor- ney, insisted that if bail was allowed similar appli- cations would be made by all sentenced at the Special Sessions, and that the Penitentiary would soon be emptied of all its inmates. After some further orgument 4a writ of certiorari was granted, which will bring the case up for revisal. Decisions. Bass et al. vs. Vescclins et al.—Motion denied, with $10 costs.

Three Young Garroters Sent to the State Prison by Judge Bedford. The first case tried by the jury yesterday in this Court was an indictment for robbery in the first degree against Thomas Hamilton, John Balfe and John Handy, the complainant being Michael Mc- Carron, a journeyman baker, who sald that while he was passing through North William street, on hus way from the Catharine ferry, between eleven and twelve o'clock at night, on the 20th of July, he was met by the three prisoners. Humiiton struck him in the face twice, causing him to bleed pro- fusely, and the other prisoners rided his pockets and took all the money he had, which was $3, and ® bank and society book. He thought it best to make no resistance and did not cry for help, but watched them and informed an officer near by that he was robbed. The youns Jack od 4 ran ag soon as they saw the officer, who oly glen them, He succeeded in arresting John Baife, and, after poe him in charge of complainant, re- newed his pursuit and captured Handy, Hamilton was arrested shortly after by another oficer, and, when the prisoners were confronted with the com- plaining witness at the station house, he unhesitat- ingly identified them as the parties who robbed him. Mr. Brooks was assigned to defend the accused, and subjected McCarron toa severe cross-exam- ination, developing the fact that he had been drink- ing beer and wine that day. He told, however, a very straight story, and did not materially vary from his first statement of the transaction, Officer Kiernan testified to arresting two of the prisoners between twelve and one o'clock, the complainant having informed him that three men were around the corner who robbed him; he was bleeding freely from the mouth, and although ex- cited was sober. The story of the prisoners was in direct conflict with the ‘evidence of the spicerene witness, Hamilton admitted seeing McCarron that night, but said that he struck him first, and when he was following him he (Hamilton) turned round and hit him, but took no money. In reply to the District Attorney he said he served a term in the Peniten- tiary for stealing @ tub of butter. Hand denied having seen the complainant that night until he met him at the station house. jalfe, the youngest of the trio of robbers, said he was arrested by the officer as he was leaving a printing office in William street, where he was em- ployed, and denied all knowledge of acquaintance- ship with the other prisoners, The jury rendered a verdict of guilty of robbery in the first degree against the prisoners. Judge Bedford, in passing sentence, sald :—“This is a clear case of garroting, andI am determined to punish garroting in every way that I can. Ham- ilton, you are an ex-convict and the ringleader in this robbery. You struck the complainant three times suficiently severe to cause his mouth to bleed, I shalt send you to thé State Prison at hard labor for twelve years and six months.” Handy was sent to Sing Sing for seven years and Balfe to the Penitentiary for three years. Burglary. Willlam Gahan, charged with burglariously enter- ing the premises of Bernhardt Riese, 154 Leonard Street, on the 14th of July, and stealing a set of haryess, pleaded guilty to an attempt, and* was peut ito the State Prison for two years and six months, Be ty Sint 2.9. An Acquittal. William White was tried upon a charge of bur- glariously entering the store of Steinhart & Co., 62 Thomas street, on the 30th of January last, at which time $1,000 worth of men’s clothing was taken. He was jointly indicted with a fellow por- ter in the store of Wild & Oo., who, it seems, for- feited his bail and rau away. The only evidence agalnst White was the finding of a suit of clothes and a palr of pantaloons, which were identified as Q portion of the stolen property. White swore that Whigitman sold them to him, Mr, Hummet called three witnesses to prove the good character of White, which resulted in his acquittal. Lareeny in a Hotel. John Hays pieaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny, he having on the 4thof July stolen ¢3% worth of bed linen from the Tremont House, and was sent to the State Prison for two years, Ancther Burglar Sent to Sing Sing. Frederick Hardy pleaded guilty to burglary in the third degree, the indictincat charging that on the 8th.of July he effected an entrance into the house of John Lowrey by breaking the parlor shutters, No Property was stolen; but a3 it was a clear case the Judge imposed the full term, which was five years in the State Prison at hard labor. The trial of James Spencer and John Reilly, charged with burgiariously entering the unoccupied dwelling-house of B. L. Southack, 236 Fifth avenue, on the 25th of Jane, was commenced in the after- noon and will be finished this (Saturday) morning. HOUR SY8TEM. On Thursday afternoon some of the cmployés of More's carpenter shop, 304 East Fifty-fourth street, were attacked while on their way home by persons supposed to be eight-hour men. Mr. More has two men working for him under the ten-hour rue, and all efforts to make them Join the cight-hour move- ment have proved fruitiess, This is supposed to have been the cause of the attack, which resulted so seriously for Conrad Mater, one of More's men, that he was unable to leave his bed yesterday, Thomas Hackett was arrested for this assault, while Joseph Lynch, of First avenue, was arrested at the instance of a son of Mr. More whom he assaulted, Joseph Reed was arrested for striking Franklin Duke, another of More's workmen. These three prisoners were yes- terday arraigned at the Yorkville Police Court be- fore Justice Coulter, who held them in $1,000 bail each for examination, CUSTOM HOUSE AFFAIRS, An Important Order from the Treasury Department, No abatement of the rush at the Custom House for the withdrawal of goods from bond ts percept- able notwithstanding so large an amount of duties has been paid and merchandise withdrawn.

The correspondence which is being received is very large, and has reference to every conccivable mystery which a Presidential campaign calls forth, Letters applying for speakers, campaign docu- Ments, portraits of “the greatand good," and aome few demands tor money form the key note of what, the rural politiciaiis seem to most want, and as far as practicable their wants are carefulty attended to, A letter from Tennessee says tnat the Rov. Py Barber, of Knoxville, is willing to take the atu for Greeley, and believes that he would be very successful in controlling votes. His influence és considerable in his own section of the country, and he would be listened to with interest and attention in all parts of the State.

Cox and Fox, of New York, an@ a numbers of others of loss prominence. The intelligence from Maine received by matl and telegraph reports the utmost activity prevailing in the liberal party all over the State. There is to be a Union Mass Convention to be held at Augusta on the 15th instant to nominate a cam- didate in opposition to Speaker Blaine, at which Senators Sumner, Trumbull and Schurz are expecte@ to be present. It is considered that the late attack, of Blaine upon Sumuer will cause that gentlemaa to make several speeches in Blaine’s district, Hon. Messrs. Farnsworth, Ingersoll and Governor Palmer, of Dlinois, and Jullan, of Indiana, wif probably be in Maine the latter part of next week to fill appointments in various parts of the State. It is stated that the names of six or seven thou- sand liberal republicans are already enrolled ia clubs through the townships of Maine, and the de- fection is said to be hourly increasing.

Governor Jewell, of Connecticut, wae present, directing the Proceedings, and expressed his opinion relative te, the charges of fraud In North Carolina, He says @ the republicans had been defeated they would have charged fraud, and now that the uemocrats are de- feated they adopt the same tactics. It is an ol@ election dodge, practised by both parties, but never goes for much with those who understand the ir and outs of a State election. The inerease of po, lation would, he thinks, account for the Increase of the number of votes cast, and no evidence can be construed from this circumstance. His experience of elections is that in country places there rat or over occurs @ case of manipulation of the batiol voxes, the cheating, whenever it does occur, bets invariably confined to cities. He is satisfied th; |. nothing van now change the resu!t of North Carolina, Advices from Maine state that Grant’s prospects in that State are good, and that there is every tadé cation that the republican majority of last year, which was about nine thousand, will be folly taain- tained, Speaker Blaine is satisfed Grant will have an increased majority in November; but this is considered to be a rather wild prediction, and the republicans Will be very well satisfied to hold their own, The following 1s a list of visitors:—W.
