4 AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB, First Day of the Autumn Meet- ing at Jerome Park. On the Road from Broadway to Westchester. SCENES BY THE WAY. Brilliant Gathering to Witness the Sport of the Turf. TWO RIDERS THROWN---ONE INJURED. The Quarter-Stretch, the Ladies’ Stand and the Course. NEW YORK HERALD, bashfully upon them. It is more tnteresting. Not doeply versed in THE MNTANGLEMENTS OF TOILET, or the differeuce between ashes of roses, London smoke and so forth, he simply observes that the darker colors predominate in uss and hats and bonnets, relieved occasion- ally akirta of lighter hue, by the display of and aricn, bright shawl, or a bricht, saucy feather in aduck of a hat stive of meditations on the vanity of ile, But their faces: thereon the reporter can unobtrasively and find much comfort in their delicate beauty, blonde, brunette, or the exquisite mean between the two. All he sees of the race is what comes reflected from their eyes, and he sees enough. Next follows THE NURSERY STAKES, which, Heaven forgive us, is not inappropriate. It is aa grand race, There are fourteen starters, and tne excitement is brought to a high pitch, as they make a false start or two, to be ordered back again. ‘They are off witha nd rush, and their glancin; sides flash back the sungleams as they reac! for the lead, On they come, tho foremost comer tothe inner edgo of the course, As tho foremost 8 the judges’ stand three horses close upon his heels are seen through a cloud of dust, There is a stumble, and Kelmont’s Breadalbane colt is seen to fall amid the rushing throng, THROWING HIS RIDER, young Hanmore. Shricks are heard on all sides from the ladies’ stand and men shut their eyes as the headiong steeds rush by and over the strug- gling horse upon the ground. Another has fallen atthe same moment, the filly Katy Pease, and be- fore the boy Shields can rise the colt Galway has struck him With his hoof, breaking his collar bone. It 1s the work of an instant, and all save the fallen are many lengths ahead. To the joy of all they rise, horses and riders, The boys are looked to at once, but the two rideriess horses snif the air and follow at a gallop the othors around the track, keeping up gamely to the end, and being with dificulty Captured afterwar e@ boy Hanmore was, happily, unharmed; the poor lad Shiclas, RIVE FINE RACES AND A WALK-OVER Fanchon the Winner of the Manhattan Handicap, Jo Danicls of the Jerome Stakes, Wildidle of the Nursery Stakes—Elsie Walks Over for the Private Stakes—Harry Bassett Wins the Three-Quarter-Mile Parse and Tammany the Steeple-Chase. “Opening day is never @ brilliant one at a race moeting,” said the HERALD reporter's Fidus Achates, as the pair heard the Broadway pavement rattle under the wheels of their vehicle yesterday morning, an hour before noon. “How is that?” “Well, you see, I don’t count men, but the ladies. Fact is, that the ladies send out skirmishers, you know, and won't hazard an appearance en masse the opening day.” Thus chilled and discouraged to his innermost core the IIERALD reporter looked for consolation to the sky, or as much of it as looked down between the tall houses of the great street. It was blue and there were some white cumulous clouds, with here and there an ominous gray tinge. A whistling breeze, a trifle cool, was singing in the reportorial ears as it murmured in those of the other beings who thronged this wide path through the city, He ‘was going to the races, this HERALD reporter. He strove to discern upon the visages of those be saw in thaé street of business who were going also, but he gave it up. They did look so uncommonly intent upon business that the reporter laughed at the idea of hard work being done anywhere while the American Jockey Club at the Jerome Park held HIGH FESTIVAL IN HORSEFLESH. The driver of the vehicle, if he commanded the slowest team out of the Pennsylvania colheries, yet- knew enough of human feelings to cheer everybody by quitting the rut of toil and tur- | moll and trundiing nothward by the avenue. Once there, it was easy to observe that the racecourse would have garnish of color and fashion along its edges, for before the stone mansions and such hotels as the Brevoort many a carriage could be seen awaiting or receiving its oc- | pants, who would demand to be driven to Jerome. Even in the merest passing glance there is some- thing tnspiriting in the sight of LOVELY WOMAN GOING TO THE RACES. She has not the overpowering air of a divinity in ut in spite of his pluck, iw very weak soon after, and was oar fainting away. Tho fourth race ia forfeited to Elsie and the his a steeplechase, One of the horses in this chase threw his rider, but the latter remounted and followed the ruck, amid much applause. Thus ended tho drst day of the Autumn meeting. - THE RACING. The track was in excellent order and the time made was very respectuble, but none of the races were remarkably ast. Six events came off during the atternoon, the first being the Manhattan Handl- cap, one mile and & quarter; tho second the Jerome Stakes, for three year olds, a dash of two miles; the third the Nursery Stakes, for two-year- olds, a dash of a mile; tho fourth, the Private Sweepstakes, for fouls of 1868, a dash of four miles; the fifth, a dash of three-quarters of a mile for a purse, and the sixth, a handicap steeplechase, about two miles and a half. The Manhattan Handicap had twenty entries, nine of waich came to the post. These wore John O'Donnell’s chestnut filly Fanchon, by Australian, dam Idlewild; D. McDaniel & Co.'a bay colt Tub- man, by War Dance, dam Lass of Sidney; M. H. Sanford's bay colt Monarchist, by Lexington, dam Mildred; Carroll & Coar’s brown horse Ortolan, by Doneraile, dam Canary Bird; D. McDaniel & Co.'s bay mare Sue Ryder, by Knight of St. George, dam Glycera; Joseph Donahue's bay colt Lord By- ron, by Kentucky, dam Lady Blessington; J. W. Weldon’s gray filly Mary Louise, by Lightning, dam by Sovereign; John F, Chamverlin’s gray colt Bren- nus, by Lightning, dam Brenna, and M. H. San- ford’s bay horse Preakness, Sanford's cutries were the favorites, in some instances selling for nearly as much as all the others combined. The race, however, was won by Fanchon, a filly that was sold in the field ‘for a song,’ She was thought nothing of, notwithstanding that she was the daughter of the fastest four-mile mare that ever ran in this country—idiewlld—who has had a record ol 7:26% ior four miles with Northern weighis up. Fanchon took the iead soon after the flag fell, and was never headed in the race. She carried only ninety- five pounds—ten pounds less than the regular weignt for four-year-old fillies—and this advantage, no doubt, helped her home ahead of the others, who were more heavily weighted. Tubman, a four-year- | old, carrying 111 pounds, was second, and Mon- ar st, also four years old, with the same weight | up, third, A‘large amount of money was lost and won on this race, outsiders, who bought the field, getting it all. The time was good. ‘rhe second race, the Jerome Stakes, had origi- nally sixty-one entries, but When they were called | to the post only four responded, These were D. | McDaniel & Co.’s bay colt Jo Daniels, by Austra- lian, dam Dolly Carter; M. H. Sanford’s bay colt tulle or an Empress in satin floating on lace trim- mings to a ball or the opera and catching every Stray Moonbeam or gas gleam in her diamonas. She is warmly clad in warm colors, and can smile and cause the coarser sex to smile without excessive miilinery surroundings. It is breezy effect, and the rush of warm color induced by the kissings of the breeze would inspirit anyone with a soul two inches above the level of the earth. As the carriage sweeps along the avenue it seems as though sailing over a river with as many afluents as the Luapula or the Lualaba. From every side street pour in rivulets of wealth, beauty, fashion and manliness to the glorl- ous stream going racewards, Then when the Park is reached with its sweeping curves green, foreground of velvet sod, middle distance of Autumn-tinted trees and background wherein bluffs near at hand give place to sweeps of upland, with Washington Heights, Manhattanville or the Westchester line to High Bridge standing against the sky, and the vil- lage of Harlem lying in a basin below—all formed a series of pretty and suggestive pictures to the eye and the mind. “Good as a demesne to an English lord,” said Fidus Achates, “is this Park to any one living near it. All the beauty and the breeze, with other peo- ple helping to pay for it.” The cyes cannot linger long on these beauties, for the carriage soon leaves the Park, along with the hundreds of others which head towards old Harlem lane, now happily vanished into the new Boulevard. it is worth while to LUOK AT THE CARRIAGES, which, to the di ae of the reporter and disgust of his friend, passed their slow vehicle. The road wagon, with its pair of 2:40 trotters before it and the fuster brace of males upon the seat; the barouche and the landau, with their fourfold hu- manity of either sex rolling cheerily along; the English dog cart, with an Irish tiger seated behind and its twain of festive youths puting their ostentatious cigars in frout; the cosy cow its cosier couple basking smiling wituin ; the loud four-in-hand with its jolly passen- gers careering duster-clad onward, and the man of the hard anguiar face and the leering eye passing everything on wheels in his sulky, are seen hin five iiuutes, Then there are THE WAYSIDE HOUSES whereat frequent stoppages are made to refresh the inner man or the horse, and soon afterwards the cavalcade is at the walk going over Macomb's Dam Bridge, a shaky pontine structure which will always remind one of the uncertainty of life. Along another lovely road the course tends, and finally through a gate bearing in faunting capitals the legend—Jerome Park. Here one is beset by howling niggers, who yell and yearn to take charge of your animals, the carriage of their presence by a timely flourish z of the whip, and the reporter dismounts to enter on | the duty of the day. It 1s near the hour marked on the “correct card” for the first race, and there is already a goodly company on the grassy oblong in front of the Grand Stand yclept E QUARTER STRETCH, The men are circulating over the sward, some in the direction of the pool-sellers and others aim- lessly but good-humoredly, and others still looking at the horses, who have begun to canter up and down upon the track, <A stream of cavalier- escorted ladies are wending down from the Clab House on the cliff yonder to take their places on the Grand Stand and the voices of the excited pool-sellers are heard ‘for the third and last time,” when the bell rings and the police captain on the track 18 heard to shout, “Clear the track, gentiemen!’? The reporter retires heavenward, where the mysverious men who know the pedigree of every horse in the Union and out of it are plying pencil on the first event. It 1s a mile and @ quarter race—so the horses, with their variegated riders, about to start, are drawn up In line at the quarter poie, behind | the jnages: stand, The sky is brigit, but taere isa dar! cloud before the face of the sun. THE RED FLAG OF THE STARTER DROPS, and the horses rush forward in a chorussed tramp. Just as they near the Grand Stand the sun breaks forth from the cloud; the dash o: sunlignt fails on the silken Coats of horses and riders with @ | giaddening sheen and makes the very trail of dust under their hoofs look golden. The gazing crowd seem to catch the rush of the sunlight in their souls, and a ig eg cheer goes up as the blooded steeds whirl at mad- Genthy pace around the curve of the second quar- ter. The race is s00n won, and the crowd breaks in across the quarter stretch again. It is pleasant now to look around and recognize the faces of men famous in the annals of the city, the nation aud the world of 8] Not wanting cither are a few reverses to the pic ture, Ask that detective, of the quiet, bland smile and keen cye, whether there any sus- Picious characters here. He answers— “There is not & single thief here; we caught one Just now and sent him kiting.” Which means in effect that they have requested him to prey upon pocketbooks elsewhere, and | moved him Gothamwards at the double quick? But | there are many ways on the turf of emptying a | portemonnale besides porcine @ hand tn your neighbor's pocket and taking lils purse out. ‘This | is @ Mental note taken by the reporter, Now comes the second race, which is interesting ; et, as the ladies have almost filled their portion of the stand, the reporter turos his back to the course aud gazes ‘The Jehu relieves | Mate, by Australian, dam Mattie Gross; D, It, Har- | ness” chestuut colt Meteor, by Asteroid, dam | Maria Innis, and John &. Chamberlin’s bay colt True Blue, by Lexington, dam Balloon, Jo Daniels | won a very easy race, the first part of which was a | mere hand gallop for all of them. They got to work | on the second mile, but the faster the volts ran the | More easily they were beaten by Jo Daniels, He was a great favorite, his backers laying over two to | one on him over the field, This was good betting, | hevertheless, as it was next to “a sure thing.” | The third race was the Nursery Stakes, for two- | year-olds, for which there were ility entries, four- | teen of which came to the post. These were M. A. | Littell’s bay colt Wildidle, by Australian, dam Idle- | whl orris’ chestnut colt Long Branch, by | ipse, dam Mollie Jackson ; Oden Bowie's bay colt | Catesby, by Eclipse, dam Katie; D. D.

Belmont’s bay colt, | by Breacalbane, dam Eliermire, and D. Mc! antel & Co.'s chestnut filly Katy Pease. The pool sales seemed wild, and were very changeable for some time; but towards the end, and just before the start, Belmont’s entry sold for the most, Hunter & | Travers’ next, while Bowie's Catesby was third ; choice. Mr. Belmont’s colt and McDaniel’s filly both fell soon after starting, being run down by the others, and all moneys on the son of Breadalbane and Katy Pease were lost before they had run fifty | yards. The boy who rode the colt, Hanmore, was not much hurt, although he had a narrow escape; but poor little Shields, the rider of Katy Pease, had his collar bone broken by the colt Galway jumping on him while he was on the ground. Mr. | Littell’s colt Wildidie, @ son of old Idlewild, won the race, and he did his work very cleveriy, being only | headed once in the race, and then by Mr. Morris’ | son of old Mollie Jackson, another of the good old | Tacers at long distances, Mollie's second heat in a tiree mile race being 5:28%, the best ever made. Odin Bowte's colt | Catesby was a good third, and the others followed | tn excellent order. This tield of two-year-olds was | the finest that ever came on a race track in this | country, and it Is a question if a better lot ever ap- | peared in any other, The fourth race was a walk-over by Mr. Withers’ brown filly Elsie, by Leamington, dam Bapta. This race Was Made some years since for colts and fillies | foaled in 1888, to be run when they were four years old. Nine gentlemen made an entry each, but out of the lot some have died and tlie others have “gone to the bad.” ‘The filth race was for a purse, a dash of three- quarters of a mile, for which there were nine en- | tries, seven of which came to the post. These wi McDaniel & Co.’s chestnut colt Harry by Lexington, dam Canary Bird; D. D. brown on Elsie, by Leamington, dam | B. & W. R. Davis’ chestnut coit ‘Fadla- Dance, dam Nora Creina; W. R.

Harry Bassett sold at three to one over the field, He ran behind for some distance, then moved up and won in a hand Gallop. Elsie was second, Fadladeen third, The sixth ana last event of the day was a steeple- chase, sor which there were eight entries, but only four of them putin an appearance when time was called. These were Joseph Donahue’s chestnut gelding Tammany, by Lexington, dam Liz Mardis, carrying 154 Ibs.; James Thompson's brown mare | Lobelia, by Bonny Scotiand, dam Capitola, 147 Ibs. ; | RK, Shea's brown colt Astronomer, by Asteroid, dam Miss Carter, 143 Ibs, and R.

XV., 573, There is in this thorough analysis of all the works of the great novelist an amount of labor which should be none the less appreciated because spent upon a pleasant theme. Here are brought together, at first im the order of the novels as written, and lastly in an alphabet comprehending all, that wonderfully varied and extensive gallery of char- acters which the genius of Dickens has created. If we wish to filud Dick Swiveller or the Reverend Chadbané, Tradales or Mark Tapley, Newman Noggs or Mr. Podsnap, Barkis or Dolly Varden we have ek look in the “Dickens Dic. tionary,” and they are before us, with reference to the book and chapter in which they appear. LEGEND OF St. JOSEPH. By Abbé ***, Trans- lated from the French by Mrs. Sadlier. New York: D. & J. Sadlier & Co. 1872, 1smo, pp. 340; 2 plates, A very pleasant collection of religious stories— thirty-seven in number—has been published under the title of “Legend of St. Joseph,” by Sadlier & Co. It is a translation from an anonymous French author, MANUAL OF THE RAILROADS OF THE UNITED STATES, FOR 1872-73, The most striking {dea of the immense advance made and making by the great interest to which this book is devoted may be got by comparing the present issue of nearly one thousand pages with the first edition, published in 1868, in a thin octavo volume of 442 pages. Mr. Poor has devoted many years of his industrious life to the railway interest, and, while himself @ scholar, well read in history and philosophy, he treats the theme here only ina practical point of view. Miscellancous, Mn. BLADES has been anticipated in his fanciful if not ingenious, theory that Shakspeare may, possibly have, at one time in his life, been in a printer's oMce. The Svotttsh Typographical Circu- lar for August 2, 1862, has a short article, headed— “Shakspeare a Printer.’ The anonymous writer has not attempted to prove that the circumstances of Shakspeare’s life suit the hypothesis; he has confined himself to pointing out the passages in the plays which are marked by a use of technical terms. THE CHRISTIAN VAGABOND, by Blanchard Jerrold, will be published in boox form, with illustrations by the author. THE SECOND VOLUME of Mr. H. Furness’ Variorum Fadition of Shakspeare will be ready in a few weeks. TuE Saturday Review, in a laudatory notice of Dr, F. V.

At a meeting of the Catholics of Fordham, West- chester county, held there on Monday for the pur. pose of raising contributions to aid in rebuilding the burned Protectory at Westchester, Rev. O. Pettet was called to the chair, while William Cod- dington acted as Secretary. Subscriptions amount- ing to $125 were paid in, making the total amount received at that and a former meeting $501.

J. Meeker the Winner. A regatta that excited considerable interest in rowing circles took place yesterday on the Harlem River. The day was chilly, and a bitter, cutting wind was blowing angry masses of cloud across the sky; yet the water was comparatively smooth, its surface being curled inte ripples only where here and there the breezes swept bluMy around @ Liliputian grassy peninsula. The trim little steamer Pope Catiin was chartered by the members of the Athletic Club to carry the commit- tee and attend generally upon the contestants. The guerdon to be awarded the victor was the “Knowlton” medal, a badge of honor mach coveted by the amateur oarsmen of the club. Mr, F. J, Engelhardt oMclated as starter and Mr, BE. Cone was selected umpire, The race was for single sculls, one mile, to be rowed in three hents, and the entries for the first of these were as follow: Contestants, Nome of Bout, Hd, Meeker. .......eseerees Mamie. . H. Cone W. B, Curtis. Cone won the choice of position, and natural! chose the Westchester shore. The start, whic! was effected on the tarn of the tide, was a fair one; but though Cone gained the lead shortly atter- wards he did not steer so straight a course as his opponent. He endeavored to take his Cente water, but by skilful manceuvring Meeker to foil hia efforts, and spurted up until the racing boats were prow and plow. Cone soon was ob- served to iM Rerrepanly, and the heat became de- cided long before the goai was reached, for Meeker shot through the Fourth Avenuo Raliroad Bridge afull minute ahead of Cone, and won by about three hundred yards. Time, 7m, 25 3-58, The second heat was rowed from the “powder” schooner to Macomb's Dam Bridge. The contest- ants were:— Contesta: Nome of Boat P. A, Cur + Gracie, A.W. Rathi Anna A J. ©, Babcock. .

Time, 7m. 18',8, The third and final heat had of course only two competitors, and was rowed from the “powder’’ schooner to Macomb's Dam, as the shades of even- ing were falling in all the majesty of their seartet and purple over the peliucid stream.

Fruminaron, N, J., Oct. 2, 1872, The investigation into the cause of the Patenburg riot was resumed this morning in the Grand Jury room of the Court. The pleasant little apartmeas Was ag usual well filled with spectators, the inter- eat in the fray by no means seeming to be abating. Early this morning an order came from Governor Parker directing @ post-mortem examination to be made of the bodiesof the murdered men, and Dr. G. R, Sullivan, with another surgeon, on receipt of the order, started to execute the mandate of the Governor. As the bodies wore buried, it will be necessary to raise them in order to make the ex- amination, and the doctor will not probably returm until late to-night. In the court room twelve prisoners were brought up, all white men, and they were seated in a cor- ner in the position in which a jary goverally is ar- ranged, They are all quict-looking men, but de- termined enough to stand up for their rights when assailed, They paid deep attention to the evi- dence all through the day, and did not let a word that dropped from the witnesses escape them. The Inquiry is conducted with discrimination, dignity and intelligence—the counsel on both sides — being men of more than ordinary ability. For the prisoners there appeared Mr. Kuhl, a light- hatred, keen-looking gentleman; Mr. John T. Bird, @ gentleman with a heavy, dark mustaene and whiskers, and Mr. Conkling, a rising lawyer, who bears a striking resemblance to Justice Bixby. Mr. Chamberlain, the District Attorney, a mitd- mannered man, and Mr. Allan, a portly gentleman, WITH AN INSINUATING BYR and a persuasive voice, have charge of the interesta of the State, and Mr. Justice Dunham presides over the proceedings with great dignity. Seated acar the witness chair, the Sheriif, Mr. Rittenhouse, isa constantly seen, and notwithstanding the charges made against him, he looks as little like a coward a8 one could well imagine. In the background a crowd of gaping villagers make up the picture. Andrew Streeter, a small, fuzzy-faced man, was the first witness called. When he came upon the stand a farmer near me remarked, “He is as black politically as the ace of spades, and he will go hard against the Irishmen.” The result of his examina- tion proved this, as he displayed considerable eagorness to render his testimony in favor of the’ fee pe The following is a sunmary of his direct evidence :— Treside in Patenburg, near where the riot of the 231 ov September took place; i was not at ing house when. the crowd went towards the Carter tarm; in the moraing £ ge gies’ early and went out of the house; soon atter heard the nen going by; I could not ascertain their number; when I got near them they had gone about three hundred yards past my house ; { saw them going on, but for what I can’t say; ‘THK TIM WAS ABOUT SUNRISE; Tsaw some of the neighbors gathering around, and be in to inquire what was the matter, and I was told that 40 Irishman had been killed in the night by the negroes the negro shanties had been burned; we heard 8 great ‘deal of nolse through the night that had us in our slumbers; that was about all our com- ion; the men came from Carter tarm about eight o'clock; a mile or @ little over a mil 1y the shortest distance; while we tt there talking with the neighbors the first man it I knew that came past was John Finity; he had in hishand; the men who went past were. railroad laborers; Finity was tho first man I saw come back; pretty, there came along strangers from the Carter farm did not know; some of them had guns some had hammers and pincers in their hands; re were none of them that I knew; [knew some of their Dut not their names; I knew James Mc- Nulty; @ gun in his hand; [ also saw Bariey MeFadden; I knew iim snd spoke to him; the ero’ bye time ha nt Tue ie aie acto a in “row asked Barney, Mehadde any ‘kies down there; ho said they had all TAREN TO BUSH; halted nd passed on; McFadden had nothing ber of seeing any of the saw none of the noise were running an Sera tte aie just after I heard the report of firearms; the blac! fleeing trom some one, as it fey were pupsoed sw n't rst heard them in the night 'y did not ar to be pursued; alter that I th Gj Fey ee eee oe ne Parte i oes T heard in tas a was not inging or laughing, it was nothing but conversation; I cannot tell whether they were raged or wise, but they were excited; Barney McFadden was a’ little below the crowd; the main crowd had pawed when Barney reached us; he was one; he waiked along naturally, and did not seem ex- cited; he spoke when going past in'a friendly manner, & have bot a word to SAY AGAINST HIS CHARACTER) i he boarded with father near the tunnel; {t is about uarter of a mile from ‘my place; whi colored men passed the last ime | I and looked out of the window a ; they had curpet-bags and clubs in their they went past I heard them say “© id not hear anything about the white a ‘when ney went past my brother, Lewis er, and some other white men were with me; it euht ‘k when the crowd went past; Yalked with my companions when the crowd lett and be- fore se? came up can't say how long the negroes stayed ; did not hear them say ‘We killed a nigger,” At this poiné the crosi-examination bf the wit- hess commenced, and he was severely handled by Mr. Kuhl, who succeeded in shaking his evidence relative to the exact words used in relation to the killing of the negro. There was some cross-firing between counsel during the cross-cxamination. b sn or E.
