4 NW YORK AERALD, AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB, Second Day of the Spring Meeting at Jerome Park. THE LADIES’ STAKES. How the Beauties of the Boudoir Looked and the Beauties of the Stable Ran. FOUR CAPITAL RACES. neta Katy Pease Wins the Ladies’ Stakes, Preakness the Jockey Club Handicap Sweepstakes, Brennus the Sell- ing Race and Fadladeen the Mile Heats, ‘The second day of the Spring meeting at Jerome Park was @ success as to racing and weather, and very fairas to attendance. In a subdued manner, itis the Lady’s Day of the American turf, as the Gaks 18 the hippic spectacle in England sacred to the fairer halfof humanity. Sad it is to say that New York yesterday did not pour as high a wave of beauty over the graud stand as the ocean of London rolls, with sheen of silk and foam of tulle over the of Epsom, when the three-year-old filies contend over the world-famous race course. But there were choice wavelets of loveliness at Jerome Park for ail that, and, as may be noted be- Jow, sweet things in bonnets and hats and irre- sistible webs of raiment made bright eyes, pouting lips, fairy forms and dainty hands look all the more bewitching. Ah! to catalogue these costumes, to describe them with the most harrowing technl- cality, gives to the simple student of the beautifnl a very slim and delusive iaca of what the ensemble is when there isa palpitating being beneath the purple and fine linen! Towards three o'clock THE DULL, LEADEN CLOUDS commenced to droop, and when the heavy drops of rain checkered the pavements with their ominous rings the wiseacres who remained at home must have chuckled with sel!-satisfaction, But soon old Sol, who has so often proved a trump, soared aloit like the great American bird, and the style in which the process of evaporation was carried on failed fot to elate the patrons of the turf, while the foll- age im the Park seemed to greet every comer with tears of joy. Rarely, if ever, has that charming demesne looked to such advantage, and when the dust was nicely laid and the feeling of disappomtment was succeeded by that of gratitude and mirth, the drive became all that fancy ever painted it, Upon the head of the statue of the venerable and respected Professor Morse was A CHEERFUL LITTLE SPARROW doing the best it could to make things merry, and nobody passed the bird without a kindly feeling. A gentle breeze fanned the brow of many a wayfarer, who, with ill-concealed regret, restrained his speed in presence of the gray-coated officers that saunter up and down the road in quest of “cases,” which they rarely find. Seven miles an hour was the reguiation, but it might have been seventeen for all that, with such brilliant fun ahead. And all banas went forth lively to the grounds, just as they will do to the end of time. “DEGREES OF HEAT WERE AT A DISCOUNT, for a closer day has seldom come around, but It made no difference so long as overhead was fair, Scores of handsome equipages, scores of dog and donkey carts were there; scores of topless wagons and cranky sulkies, all rushing to the scene with various kinds of freight, from boilea chickens to meiting matrons of the third degree. it was the same joyiul, that ever marks the approach to the race grounds, There was nothing new and there was nothing old, while the surroundings were all that tradition has made famous, save and except the indecorous ele- ment, which, by the way, is rarely seen on the road in these quarters. Looking to the right, Bay when passing old Mount St. Vincent Hospital, the view of historic Yorkville might, perhaps, in @ remote degree, recall to mind THE RUINS OP POMPEII on the half-shell, so to speak, for between the shattered shanties in the back ground and the crumbling rocks and stones and other worse than senseless things, the sentimentalist would be in- clined to dream of days gone by, though # keener glance will disclose to the practical mind a triving and prosperous spot, if smoke be any criterion of success, Few however, thonght of Yorkvile, en route tor the races, for as the sun shone brigbtly all sped along full of glorious anticipation. Even the boys on the road, anxious to water and sponge travellers for a trifie, were in great giee and armed with buckets jocosely confronted drivers with many a saucy jest. With all this the humors of the road were few and far between, lor the patrons of Jerome Park evidently draw a wide discrimination between the rollicking fun which characterizes the famous sporting grounds abroad and the quiet pleasures of the race on this side of the Atlantic. From early morning there w: sus- picion of cloudiness in the sky, that made some very prudent race-bound people lay m ‘A STOCK OF UMBRELLAS A that distracted and distressed them frequently through the heat of the day. To be sure they were occasionally gratified by imagining that it was about to rain, and then their looks of triumphant spleen, succeeded by profuse perspiration as the heavens cleared, were highly amusing. The wise Virgins themselves, with their littie oil cans, would surely have said it was “a cownright shame” il the wedding party liad pnt in an appearance in the daytime. But the majority were of the pure holi- day order, who go out taking all the odds thatold Probabilities might choose to put wp against the imperviousness Of their clothing. The scene ON THE QUARTER STRETCH was about as usual. The hy gallants who came out at a spanking pace behind a pair of flery chest- nuts rubbed shoulders with and bought poois ve- | side the great unsorted who came out by the steam cars (rom Forty-second street. It is surely a sight | to thank Providence on to see the merchant of | hundreds of thousands a year look as if his profits were mortgaged ten years ahead when he | shares the sensation of losing a little bet on his Javorite, The man of chronic money-risking habits takes things easier. It is a pleasure to see such @ one lose and smile as artlessly as a babe before it cuts its frst tooth. We have ONK ADVANTAGE ON THE AMERICAN over the English turf—namely, that the agony of losing money does not produce such painful demon- Strativeness here as on the other side of the ocean. We have no suicides following the great pe days here, Not wishing to intrude these painful thoughts apon what should be the description of a broad downs | exhilarating panorama | brigtit and happy scene, the line of comperison {8 | dropped for the same reason that the Western en- gine driver objected to running over people—‘‘it thusses the engine.” THE LADIES AND THRIR RACE. By three o'clock, the time of starting for the Ladies’ Stakes, the Grand Stand was fairly filled and presented an interesting appear- ance as the benches gradually disappeared from view. The start was put down punctually for three, and haste was the word with late comers. Out of forty-three fillies entered eight re uamed as starters, and the girls were out jor their preliminary canters as & rivulet of beauty and expensive millivery came prettily down the rocky incline from the club house on the bluff to take po- sition for viewing the les’ race. While the fair creatures are struggling through the programme to find out the fillies’ names for their jockeys’ colors, and while the more knowing are descanting on the form and jt of the fleet coursers vantering ground or pawing the earth, we may giance at the outer envelope of the Goddess Fashion, as she ap- peared at the moment, THE TOILETS. ‘The modistes occupy #6 prominent position at the Jerome Park races as the proudest member of the Club; not personally, certainly, but by their bandiwork. Itis hard to note more than a few of the most striking toilets amid such an assemblage Of female beauty, but the following were observed mong the mosi elegant :— A La WATTEAD. Striking, yet not toe prononcée for the occasion, ‘Wasa toilet worn bya tall, graceful blonde, who languidly watched the proceedings in the Club House piazza, while her attendant cavalier gently ewayed her Watteau fan of white silk, exquisite! eyed Over a demi-train skirt of ratuer dar! jue poult de soie, trimmed with narrow founces, | scalloped and edged with fine Valenciennes la was a Watteau redingote of Aigerien goo White stripes alternating with light blue om cdged wilh ne silyer tireads, The material was | mace up 80 that the stripes were perpendicolar in- stead of enbayadere, The garment was exceed- ingly long, and simpiy hemmed at the bottom. A Dine silk belt, fastened in the back by @ large buckle of frosted silver, supported a very broad blue sash, which was tied low down on the right side, sustaining the looping, while on the lett, also depending from the belt, was a handsome silver chatelaine, the design quite apropos—a dog's head, riding whip, stirrup, jockey cap and horse soe, linked together by reina, HELD BY A GAUNTLETED IZAND. Buttons to match fastened the Iront of the waist, the skirt part falling apart below and disclosing the high Srumoing, on the underskirt., Atthe neck a high fraise of Ulue silk supported one of white tulle, and frills to match fell over the h Jewelry of filagree silver, set with turquoises; Rabagas hat of white chip, trimmed with white tuelle, blue velvet and garlands of myosotis. A blue silk parasol, with white lace cover, completed this most uarennmend beaming ens 5 ‘ Quiet and anpretentious, yet thoroughly distingud, was a toilet arranged With: a skirst of Went réséda silk, rather elaborately trimmed witn flounces, em- broidered in silk with a darker shade, worn under an Alexandra Rpaln mote of real camel's hair, cashmere of the darker shade in the skirt, heavily embroidered wit) the lighter shade. The fronts of this garment hung loosely, but the back was belted, side ornamented with a handsome chatelaine were of oxidized silver. Bonnet of réséda crépe, trimmed with pink azaleas. A BRILLIANT BRUNETTR, witha graceful, commanding figure, wore an ele- gant black silk toilet, the skirt a train, entirely without garniture Sxoaping, very broad revers at the sides, finished with heavy cording; and the basque very short, ornamented with revers to match the skirt, and trimmed with thread lace. The lovely throat furnished ample excuse for the corsage being en chaie, and the high fraise Médicis only enhanced its loveliness. The sleeves fitted closely to the beautinlly shaped arms, and deep lace frills fell over the hands, Fastened on the right shoulder by @ handsome ornament was a wide Algerien scarf, coral colored and white stripes, Which fell across the figure both back and front, serving the purpose of & wrap, and fastened on the leit side of the skirt. The arrange- ment was particularly graceful and becoming. Coral jewelry, and a bigh Keubens hat of black chip, | trimnied with black lace and a {ull blown cactus blossom, completed the toilet. A STYLISH TOILET, evidently intended for demi-deuil, had a skirt of silver gray poult de soie, trimmed with @ flounce plaited in’a novel manner and corded with bi silk. Over this was an exceedingly long polovaise of embossed biack siik grenadine, trimmed with very rich real Spanish blonde. ‘The looping was sustained by a sash of silver gray crépe de chine, finished on the ends with Spanish bionde, which was tied around the waist and fell nearly to the bottom of the skirt. Bounet of Belgian straw, trimmed with black velvet, Spanish blonde and gray tips. A quiet and recherché toilet had a perfectly plain demi-train skirt of a lovely shade of wood-colored oult de sole, worn under @ “Jessica” polonaise of atiste de sote, heavily embroidered with a Moral design in silks of various shades of wood color. This garment formed two ver, aoey poe in front, or, rather, the fronts formed very deep points av the sides, being drawn back by the beedinen and the back was looped ina peo Camargo by broad ribbon sashes matching the skirt in color. The edge was trimmed with handsome Yak lace. | “*Vic- toria’? bonnet of split straw, trimmed with two shades of wood color, and large, languid pink roses In foliage. THF RAC OR. was a mile and five furlongs, and a fine start was had from the mner track, the fillies going away beautifully beneata a sudden burst of sunshine and kicking up a cloud of dust behind them that hid them long before the sweep round the blur wus reached, The ladies were in ecstacies. The eight fillies came down the stretch magnificently and almost as much in line asa ens of cavalry at the charge. It was beautilul sight, the varied colors of the silk-coated jockeys making it like vie on-rush of knights at a tourney. WEARING THEIR LADIES’ COLORS, As they passed the stand a chestnut filly, with Jimmy Rowe for a rider, came out to the front, and the cry of “Katy Pease!’ went up joytully aa she started to lead Quits and the rest for the re- mainder of the race. Ladies proverbially bet pairs of gloves, and a number ae irs must have been worn out yesterday applauding the pretty winner and her trim-built rider, with his keen brown eyes peering from beneath his jockey’s cap. THE ENGLISH JOCK. The interest by no means subsided with the fair sex when the first race was over. The Jockey Club Handicap sweepstakes, won by Preakness, who was mounted by that true scion of Baga jockey man- uiacture, Billy Haywood, with his fine judgment and iron nerve, created a thorough excitement be- cause of the fact that the race seemed in doubt up to the last half of the second mile, A WINNING CARD. The third race was notable for the large fleld of eleven horses ana the good running, although a number Of false starts were made, The close was athorough surprise also, for as the horses came down the homestretch it was observed that an un- suspected horse named Brennus, with a rider ciad in what looked like a “ten of hearts” jacket, was ahead, and won the race, to the delight of those who had bought an out-of-the-way animal in the pools, It was the greatest streak of luck that came to those who bet blindly since Nickajack won a race against all odds on the same course. Then came the American race of ‘heats,” between Gray Pianet and Fadladeen. The former won the first heat, and those who credulously believed he could win another backed him: but Fadiadeen was as souring to their hopes in the next two heats as ever the great Sripice was to the gushing poet of “Lalla Rookh,”’ en everybody prepared to go home, aud stood not on the order, but went. THE RETURN. ‘There were more damp handkerchiefs left Jerome Park last evening than many an unassuming horse would like tocarry, The broiling sun had left his track, and when the winner of the final race had been announced, it was with a feeling of relief that the assemblage broke up and left in pleasant little parties to_ cate! the breeze coming back to town, There have been hotter days along this quarter stretch than yesterday. Many a time has excitement reached @ higher pitch, but the emphatic manner in which some reminded their hearers of the heat and the haste with which the shade was sought could not tail to induce the opinion that very warm weather revaiied, But the briiliant scene soon closed a:nid loud and frequent calis. Carriages rolled up to order and dashed away. Clouds of dust enveloped many a ten- der freight, while here and there some driver more impetuous than his fellow pushed forward with lively gait. All along the homeward route crowds of spectators watched with eager eye the passing equipages, some of which excited admiration. The halting places on the way were crowded to excess, and many a Heer comment on the day had ample scope. All in all, the second day’s meeting of the Club gave unbounded satisfaction. THE RACING. iacneenipaeenanaeean A most excellent track and delightful weather seemed to please both horse and rider yesterday afternoon, as the racing was of a most superior order. Pour events were on the card, comprising the Ladies’ Stakes for three-year-old fillies; the Jockey Club Handicap Sweepstakes, a selling race of a mile and a furlong, and mile heats. The Ladies’ Stakes for three year-old fillles closed with forty-three nominations, of which eight came to the post, These were D. McDaniel & Co.'s chest- nut filly Katie Pease, by Planet, dam Minnie Mans- field; W. Cottrill’s bay filly Sallie Watson, by Danicl Boone, dam Maggie G.; K. W. Sears’ brown filly Anaie Hall, by Leamington, aam £eho; Thomas W. Dosweill’s gray filly Lizzy Lu by Australian, dam Eagless; W. Cottriil’s chestnut filly Alice Mitcheil, by Planet, dam Volga; James A. Grinstead’ chest- nut filly Eciair, by Lightning, dam Brenna; A, Bel- mont’s chestnut filly Electra, by Kentucky, dam Bernice, and the same gentleman's bay filly Me- dora, by Kentucky, dam Camilla, Cottrili’s en- tries were the favorites, McDaniel’s Milly second choice, The latter won the race, Mr. Cottrili’s Sal- lie Watson second; Mr. Sears’ Leamington flily Was third, The winner of this race ts a most beautilully finished dily, with great power for one of her size. She ran four times as a two-year-old, winning once. This was at Saratoga on the 22d of Angust, in @ free handicap, carrying 90 1bs., one mile, in which she beat Merodac, Minnie W. and Pennock’s Jack Malone filly. She was beaten at Fordham by Springbok and Minnie W, five tr. longs, and in the Nursery Stakes by Wildidie, Long Branch and Catesby, and in the Kentucky Stakes by Silk Stocking, Reviler, Cates- by, Electra and Strachino, Katie Pease has changed wonderfully with the year, and it is very doubtful whether any of those who beat her last year “have @ license’ to do so this, Sallie Watson ran @ good race, but why she shouid have been the favorite we were at a loss to know. Mr. Cottrill said she had never run a longer dis. tance than mile heats and never carried heavier weights than 87 Ihe, Here she had to pile up 107 Ibs, and run 8 mile and five furlongs, There ts no doubt that her race with Tom Bowling at Lexing- ton, at the Spring meeting, wnen she made that famous colt run two heats of a mile and repeat race in 1:43%% each had the effect of making her backers lay out their money so wildly, Great mis- takes are frequently made here on horses that have | Won @ fast record tm the West or South, Our people do not reflect on the difference of weight carried in that section and here, Again, horses are very apt to lose geome of their “soot by a travel in the cars of three or four days, and it sometimes takes @ whole season’ to get them back to the speed they left home with, There is no doubt but that ie Watson is @ capital race nag, and that there will be many a prize for her to win and carry back to ler home at Movie Lelore i the next snow falls. Annie Hall is a very fair 100k- ing filly, and will no doubt win enough during the year to pay ior training and oats. We will say hothing about the others until they distinguish themselves by some well won race. The Jockey Club Handicap Sweepstakes had six starters out of twenty-six entries, These were Mr. Sanford’s bay horse Preakness, by Lexingtop, dam Bay Leaf, 6 years ola; Thomas W. Doswell’s bay horse Eolus, by Leamington, dam Fanny Washing- ton, 5 ye: . McDaniel & Co,’s chestnut colt Hubbard, by PI , dam Minnte Mansfield, 4 years old; D. J. Bannatyne’s chestnut horse Stockwood, by Asteroid, dam Alabaina, 5 years old; Isaac W. Pennock's colt by ndal, dam Margravine, 4 years old, and W. R, Babcock’s chest- nut mare Ethel Sprague, by Jack Malone, dam Vesper Light, 4 yonre old, Preakness had the callin the betting, Hubbard being the second chotce, Folus third. Preakness won ® very easy race in the fastest time ever made on the Jerome Park track, He, however, carried 81x pounds less than his regular weight. Preakness 18a strange horse and makes strange races. When he is hiin- selfand feels like ree’ he is an A No, 1 race pores: but when he is not Preakness and does not feel ike ronping be can be beaten by second raters, He is now in high flesh, and as he has always run best when fat probably it will pay his owner to keep him so. He was cut in the race by some other horse, as was also Eolus, the latter ver, dadiy. No one seemed to know who did the mischief, but whoever it was should be punisbed, and a heavy reward should be given for fe discov- ery of the perpetrator, Some horsea wore injured last Saturday in the same way; and until an example 18 made of the jockey who rap on Eolus and Preakness this dendish business will be continued. Eolus ran @ good race, and was two lengths beliind Preakness at the finish. Hubbard was third, six lengths bebind Holus, the others a long way off. The third was fculng race, with the usual al- lowances for low value in the horses. ‘There were eleven starters, comprising John F, Chamberlain's pay gelding Brennus, ferrying 95 Ibs.; Hunter & ‘avers’ chestnut filly Quits, 80 Ibs,; D, Buckley's cheatnut mare Chickabiddy, 106 Ibs. ; Jo. Donahue’s chestnut horse Sanford, 106 lbs.; K, Shea's chest- nut gelding Ginger, 104 lbs. ; Taos, W. Doswell's bay mare Winesap, 104 Ibs.; W. R. Babcock’'s bay horse Conductor, 106 lbs.; D, McDaniel & Co.'s bay colt Boss Tweed, 108 lbs, ; George Denison’s bay gelding Marcus, 101 tbs.; John Harbeck, Jr.'s chest- nut horse Cadence, 104 Ibs, and DL. W. Jerome's bay colt, 80 lbs. Quits and Chickabiddy were the favorites; but the race was won by Brennus in very good pivle. He sold very low in the pools and inthe Paris Mutue.s, In the latter nearly one hundred and fifty dollars was paid for the $5 invested on him, Brennus was sold after the race to Mr. Bathgate for $560. ‘The mile heat race that closed the sports of the day was very exciting. It was between Thomas W. Doswell's chestnut horse Fadladeen and A. Belmont's gray coit Gray Planet. They had three heats, and the race was won by Fadladeen, ‘The following are the detatls of the racing as It progressed :— THE FIRST RACE. Tue Lapres’ STAKES for three-year-old fillles; $100 each, half forfeit, with $1,000 added; the sec- ond filly to receive $300 out of the stakes; Onc mile and five tur‘ongs. D. McDaniel & Co.'s ch, f.

They passed out of sight around the hillin this order; but when they appeared on the lower turn Electra was show- ie the way, Sailie Watson second, Alice Mitchell third, Medora fourth, Katy Pease fife Lizzy Lucas sixth, Eclair seventh and Annie Hall eighth, but allof them in a cluster. They ran up the home- stretch as close together as it was possible for them to be, and as they passed under the wire at the finish of the five furlongs Medora was leading, Katy Pease second, Alice Mitchell third, Sallie Watson fourth, Electra fifth, Eclair sixth, Lizzy Lucas seventh and Annie Hall eighth, This was as pretty a sight as was ever witnessed on a race course, the fillies were so close together. Going around the upper turn Katy Pease took the first place trom Electra, Sallie Watson third, Lizzy Lucas fourth, the other four running parallel close behind. As the fillies came down and passed under the biuif Katy Pease led two lengths, Sallie Watson second, Eclair third, Lizzie Lucas fourth, Alice Mitchell fifth, Annie Hall sixth, Electra seventh, Medora eighth. They then passed around the hill, and while ear were out ol sight the majority of them were whipped and began to tail off. When they appeared on the lower turn Katy Pease was leading about three lengths, and from her gallant manner of running tt was evident that she would come home a winner, barring accidents. Sullie Watson was running second, and all the others Appeared out of the race. Katy Pease came on in hand, end won by two lengths, Sallie Watson sec- ond, six lengths ahead of Annie Hall, the latter four lengths in front of Lizzy Lucas, Alice Mitchell filth, Eclair sixth, Electra seventh, Medora eighth.

And thus terminated the second day of the Spring meeting of the American Jockey Club, THE NATIONAL GAME. The Bostons Win Another Game. The Boston Club played and defeated the Atlan- tics on the Union Grounds yesterday, in the presence of about twelve hundred persons, The fielding on the part of the visitors was almost faultless, but three errors being charged to them during the entire game, Unfortunately for the At- lantics, as much cannot be said in their favor, al- though at times they showed to remarkably good advantage. Ferguson, Dehiman and Barlow filled their positions well, the latter taking a very hot fly tip straight from the bat. For the Bostons, all did well; Spaulding and Manning, however, lead- ing at the bat, The following is the score :— Boston. atLanric. Players RALT. P. A. E.

Match Between the St. George's and Staten Island Clubs—A Six Hit and the Ball Lost in the Swamp—Jones, of St. George's, the Capturer of Six Wickets— The Match To Be Continued To-Day, Yesterday afternoon, at three o’clock, wickets were pitched at the Hoboken Cricket Ground fora return match between the Staten Island and St. George’s clubs, the former having been defeated in the match played at Staten Island en Decoration Day. Aconsiderable number of visitors, including ladies, were on the ground, and the weather was all that could be desired by the most enthuslasiic cricketer. The St. George’s having won the choice for innings, elected to go in, and sent a couple of their steady bats in—viz., Jones and Smith— the former ah considerably distinguished himself by his batting agaiast the English Kleven last year. Alter @ short time he scored thirteen, rincipally off Brewster’s bowling, one of his hits ing & magnificent drive of six over bowler’s head into the marsh outside the cricket grouna, where it imbedded itself like a spent cannon ball and was consequently jost. Smith scored thirteen by careful play. Sleigh then followed, and by some very clever play scored twenty-seven, including several fine leg hits. The Melding of the Staten Island Club was good, if not brilliant, but they were unfortunate in playing without Outerbridge. The bowling of Harvey was somewhat badiy punished, ‘on account of it being easily “collared.” The St. George’s Club played two men short, and their eighth wicket fell tor seventy-tour rans. THE STATEN ISLAND. The Staten Island then went te the wicket after dinner and sent in Filmer and Davis, who made each but short innings, and, in fact, the only stand made was by Tucker, who scored seven. Jones captured no less than six wickets and gained great applause for his bowling and catching. The field- ing of the St. George’s was excellent. The match 1s to be continued this aiternoon, when the St. George's will commence their innings at three o'clock. The following are the scores :— ARORGR’S, STATEN ISLAND. Filmer, b.

Interesting Shell Race on the Harlem River—David Roache, of the Nautilus Club, vs. Eben Losee, of the Atalanta Club—Roache the Winner. Yesterday afternoon Mr. David Roache, of the Nautilus Boat Club, and Mr. Eben Losee, of the At- alanta Boat Club, both prominent organizations on the Harlem River, rowed a straightaway shell race on that stream from the “powder schooner” to High Bridge, a distance of two miles, for a prize of $100, One of these men—Mr. Losee—has long been known among aquatic followers in this section of the country, and was regarded as the best oarsman of his weight and inches that ever got into a boat. He has held the championship under which he is classed (of the Hudson) for several years, and nis friends held that the man had yet to be found who could successfully measure blades with him. The Nautilus boys, how- ever, thought tney had In Roache an opponent worthy of Losee’s reputation, and some time since members of the two ciubs decided thata race should be rowed by them for a prize, as stated; hence the present contest. THR MEN. For the event both men had undergone a careful preparation, and no doubt they were fit for the engagement. Losee is twenty-nine years of age, stands five feet three inches and weighed, just be- fore getting into his shell, 106 pounds, Roache 1s much younger, barely beyond his ma- jority, but is one inch taller and weighed 115 pounds in his working clothes—both ‘“/eather weights” indeed. THE BOATS. Roache rowed in a shell 29 feet long, 9% inches wide and weighing 29 pounds, Colors, white shirt and blue pants, Losee’s boat was 26 feet 6inches in length, 91% wide, and weighed 24 pounds, Colors, crimson shirt and white drawers, THE RACE. Around the new settiement on the Harlem; there Was much anxiety regarding the contest; but the majority, in fact, nine-tenths, of the oarsmen thought it was ‘dollars to doughnuts” that Losee ‘ould beat his opponent. Between five and six o'clock Was appointed for the men to take their positions, as the tide, being frst of the fool, would serve, and long before the hour the river was pretty well covered by boats of all character, from the clumsy Whitehall to the pretty shell, all making their way to the starting point, The not extra Jarge steamboat Pope Catlin, but a craft well adapted for the purpose, had been engaged to follow the rowers, and at the ans time it appeared off the boat houses, and, taking all on board who desired to go, steamed to her place beside the powder schooner. Meanwhile M: George Roan, judge for Losee, and J. C, Babe holdng the like position for Roache, had agreed upon Mr. George Brown, of the New York Athletic Ciub, to act as referee, It did not take the contest- ants long to get ready, as, upon the arrival of the Catlin, each was found tn place, Losee nearest to the schooner. The water was smooth as a mirror and the evening of the most delightiut character for such a race. On every hand were friends of the rowers, but those attracting | the most attention were the Nautilus, four-oared | | gig, with Jimmy Ten Eyck pulling No. 3; the Gramercy’s eight-oare barge, and the Columbia re, and Athletic clubs’ sh ‘The referee, without Waste of time, gave the “go” at 6h. 59m. 15s., and the men cut \he water simultaneously and went ener on their journey on level ter Losee was quickest to settle to his work. and, stroking rapidly, he drove his boat several feet in front, and Roache rowing “abroad,” the Atalanta man | drew his crait clear of the other before an eighth of a mile had been covered. Now | the friends of Losee on the Catlin grew wild with excitement aud offered 100 to 25 on ‘the littie jel- low,” which odds were many times taken, much to the delight of the takers, as the sequel will show, Keeping up steam, Losee piaced an additional half a leagth between him and his opponent, rowing forty strokes to his thirty-six, and now seemed to have the race in band, In the next minute or so, however, there was a change, as Roache, getting | himself weil straightened out, began to pick up, and when gone about jour minutes he had so outpaced Losee that they were oncven | terms, and the Nautilus man took every one by surprise by launching out so finely, which closed the (= lere the race, and at its most interest- ing Pe int, was marred by a foul, and this seemed to be Roache’s fault, but Losee’s judge did not clam it at the finish, and the matier was passed without much notice. Breaking away, the men did their best, bnt it was now evident that the Atalanta man was beaten, as Roache gradually drew away from him and gave | him the full benefit of his wash. Going onder Macomb’s Dam Bridge Roache was three clear boats’ lengths in advance, and thts distance was | accomplished in exactly 7 minutes to Losee’s 7 minutes and 15 — seconds, Each was now rowing thirty-six strokes te the minute, Roache pulling tn clever style and with ease, while Losee’s Strength seemed to have iutled, and he used his “sliding seat’ in such an awkward manner as to be universally commented upon, the decision being that he would have done much better With @ stationary seat, the rig was 80 mis- erable, When away thirteen minutes Losee was thoroughly used up and Roache had the race tn | his hands, He passed under the High Bridge a winner by five boat lengths in 14 minutes 45 sec- onds, amid much enthnsiasm. Losee’s time was 14 minutes 67 seconds. The Atalanta boys re- turned home fully convinced that, like ovher sports, “there's nothing sure in boating.” The police report that a large quantity of finely executed tea cent stamps are ia circulation, THE LATE MINISTER ORR Reception of the Remains from the Steamer Thuringia by the Knights Templars—Proces sion from the Battery to the City Hall—Speeches of Deputy Grand Mas. ter Thorne and Mayor Have- meyer—Arrangements for the Funeral on Friday—At- tendance of the Seve enth Regiment The arrangements for paying a proper tribute of respect to the memory of the late James L. Orr, United States Minister to Russia, were continued yesterday, And conducted with a solemnity and decorum that could not fail to show that whem death comes to us it levels all distinctions, party or otherwise, in the remembrance that it is the im- evitable lot of al! men once te die. It was arranged on Tuesday that about half-past nine o'clock on the following (yesterday) morning that the revenue cutter Jasmine should be in at- tendance to take on board the Knights Templars who were desirous of receiving the body. In accordance with this about eighty of the knights met in the Governor's room at the City Hall at nine o'clock, and under the di- rection of Elwood E, Thorne, D. G. M., formed in {he Park and marched down Broadway to the Bat- tery. The police arrahgements, which were admi- rably carried out, were under the direction of In- Spector George Dilks and Captain Leary. The party embarked at ten o'clock in the Jasmine, which was commanded by Lieutenant Parker, and steamed to the pier of the North German Steam ship Company at Hoboken. RECEIVING THE REMAINS. The Thuringia, which was lying outside the plet on the previous day, had taken her placo in the dock, and the Knigtts on landing had to pasa through a large number of emigrants and their baggage to reach the steamer. The Knights were received by Captain Meyer, of the Thuringia, and on the deck they were taken to a very heavy look- ing box, which contained the casket and the re- miains of the deceased Minister, The box bore the following inseription:—'‘J. L. O., Charleston, S.C.’ lt was ai once seen by the undertaker, Mr. Senior, that it Would cause considerable delay to unpack the box on board, and the Jasmine therefore came alongside the steamer, and, by aid of the hoist tne box was lowered on to the deck of the cutter, the beil of the steamer tolling meanwhile, On the passage down the river the case was removed and the casket was revealed. THE CASKET. The casket was heavily draped with black crape and trimmed with fluted fringes of the same ma- terial, interlaced with silver trimming. Four rich tassels of bullion silver hung at the head and /oot, and a border of white satin was placed around the casket. On a silver plate was the following tn- scription :— Qecrecenoee. nnenenee needs ONAORIO REDE RIID ELON SOROLED JAMES LAWRENCE ORR, Born in Craytonsville, South Carolina, g jay 12, 1822, 3 Died in St. Petersburg, April 23 (May 5), 1373, aged ol years, i AN OORL REELED REED LODO DOLE DOLE DEDE DOLE ED HE ‘The casket stood upon six lions’ paws, wrought of sliver, with handles of the same material at the head and oot.

Six of the eminent Commanders were appointed pall-bearers, and the ceffin was borne to the hearse, the Knights Templars: forming in open order, The procession was them formed, with a police escort under the charge of Inspector Dilks, which wended its slow, funeral March along State street and Broadway to the City Hall, serves of police were stationed alon; the line, and the course of the trafic was change: in order that there should be no interruption to its progress. On the public buildings and the hotels the American flag was flying at half-mast. THE CITY HALL, On reaching the City Hall a very impressive Scene was presented. The front entrance was heavily draped in black, the municipal fags and natioaal flags were at hali-mast, and over the entrance to the hail was placed in large white letters the motto of the Masonic Grand Lodge of the State of New York. “Sit Lux et Lux Fuit” (Let there be light and there was light). The corridors of the ball were also draped in mourning, interspersed with the Star-Spangied banner. Over the encrance to the staircase was placed a very beautiful photo- par of the late Minister Orr. The Governor's oom was also appropriately draped, ‘The casket was placed on @ catafaique hear the centre of the room, and at the head were the flags of the State and city of New York, and at the loot the arms of the States of New York and South Carolina. ‘The coffin was followed by Mayor Havemeyer, the Committee of both Boards of Aldermen and the Knights Templars, DEPUTY GRAND MASTER'S SPEECH.
