Survivor the Winner of the Three-Year-0ld Bace, Mate of the Mile and Three-Quar- ter Dash, Wanderer of the Westches- ter Oup, Ophelia of the Hack Bace and Village Black- smith of the Hurdle Race, ‘The races st Jerome Park yesterday were blessed with fine weather, fulattendance and fair sport. At is impossible to please everybody, and those at Jerome Park who most frequent the pool stands at either end of the quarter stretch are among the most dificult to keep ina state of high enthusiasm. @ive them the wonderful moving picture of a first Yaté race, under the brightest sky and before the grandest assemblage possible, and that unfortu- nate little investment at the pool stand puts a deep blue shade over the spectacle. A very little piece, indeed, of this rennet of the pools is sufficient to turn all their milk of haman kindness into the curds of cantankerousness ond the whey of whining. Happy is the thought that not for the turfite oniy are the pleasures of contending coursers. The beautiful women and their gallant escorts who, in their thousands, made the grand stand A BRILLIANT PICTURE OF HAPPY HUMANITY, who chatted pleasantly on the club house balcony er lmed the winding walk down the bluff in @plashes ef rich color, had allthe pleasure of the day undiluted. Silvery laughter, showing pearly teeth and making the peachy cheek of a fuller car- Wipe, was heard on all sides, and champagne mever had a brighter sparkle than the eyes and spinits of the unprofessional spectators of the race. It was decidedly the best-attended day of the meet- img, as farasit hasgone. The racing throughout ‘Was not so fine ason the previous days, but fun, incident and enjoyment were more plentiful than ever. THE FIRST THREE DAYS Of the meeting have passed away mid sunshine and dust. Asa rule the Jockey Club have been rather uniortunate in their weather, and last year it was no uncommon event to find the gloomy aspect of the day make a postponement imperative to suc- cess. The weather yesterday morning at first had rather a doubtful aspect, and members sitting at a déjeuner ala fourchette ina bow window at the Union Club discussed the prospects of the day. Under the genial influences of generous wine their thoughts took a brighter turn, and as the morning grew into noon glorious Sol broke through the lowering clouds and gave a couleur de rose to the anticipations of the day. As noon Q@pproached the numbers of private equipages standing at the doors of the clubs and private resi- fences suggested @ brilliant sortie of the Upper Ten in the direction ef the Park. THE STREAM OF VEHICLES, beginning in little dribiets rolling in from the side Streets, soon became of formidable dimensions, and, about one o’clock P. M., the entrance to Cen- tral Park was crowded with carriages of every size, make and description, Every class of society was represented, and all wore that pleasant expression so commonly extant with those bound on a Pleasure excursion. Up the gentle slope and round past the statue of the great electrician whirled a neat little wagon drawn by a clever looking bay colt. The owner, one of the judges of the meeting, looked the gentleman all over, and made the contrast all the more unfavorable to the member of the codfish aristocracy that followed, leaning back in 8 species of @ high four-in-hand phaeton and shading his complexion with a yellow umbrella lined with silk. THE TINSELLY HARNESS ON THE FOUR BLACK HORSES, the brass and monograms so plentifully distributed over the carriage, and the two elaborately attired colored gentlemen on the box were in perfect keep- ing with the owner, who looked down upon tne humble individual in the one-horse con- veyance with an air of lordly disdain. But, on the whole, there is @ decided improvement of late in the style of equipage one sees in the Park, and yesterday there were some few turnouts that w5uid have done credit to the Bois or Rotten Row. One very elegant, dark green ba- rouche, unsullied by any ornament except a small monogram and crest, drawn by a handsome pair of bay steppers, standing 15.3 high, and with two neat looking men on the box in dark green livery, Would have done credit to @ royal stable and Toyaity itself could not have furnished a more aristocratic quartet than those who GRACED ITS CUSHIONED SEATS. Onward flowed the stream, sweeping past Stetson’s and scattering on the Boulevard in medley order. Now the sporting looking man in the linen dus- ter takes a good grip at the lines and wakens up @ big chested, sleepy-looking horse, that, upon call, strikes a tremendous gait, and then the fun begins, The trotters begin to brush with one an* other, raising clouds of dust as they fly over the road, in eager competition. First one is ahead, breaks and falls back as another goes by with a rush, followed by nalfadozen more hunting him down. The race, however, is not always to the swift, as some of the old steady goers strike an even gait and keep it during the journey, eventually arriving at their destination far ahead of many of the speedy-footed, From twelve to tlree and from five to eight the road between Macomb’s Dam and the track was envel- oped in a cloud of dust so thick that it was nearly impossible to see twenty yards ahead. There were NO ACCIDENTS, however, of any consequence, excepting, of course, the occasional loss of @ wheel, but all tne damages were done homeward bound. Among the crowd of equipages TWO PRDFSTRIANS that were noticed going and coming attracted con- siderable attention. Both sexes were represented, and the Jady, # charming brunette, with @ beautiful head of biack wiry looking hair, was attired in an elegant black pik = with a straw — colored polonaise, which she trailed through the dust with that noble bearing of freedom emanating from the Freed- man’s Bureau. ‘The cempanion of this dusky charmer was a bionde past the meridian of life, whose gray beard and mustache gave him a venera- ble air, It was atterwards reported that the gen- tleman was an ardent supporter of the equality of volor, and that he took this occasion to exhibit his advanced views on the subject. Arrived in the Park there was the usual rush of red-capped darkies to capture any wagons or Rorses that the innocent might have the misfor- tune to deliver to their tender mercies. “TARE MY NUMBER, SIR,” was the Only response from these colored attend- ants to the repeated inquiries as to where the owner was likely to find nis conveyance after the faces were over. Grumbling, however, was use- less, the hehe vor Was gone, and so, turning into the d stand the victim made the best of the situation, and soon forgot his troubles in the ex- cltement of the scene. When the last race was over the innocent concluded to return home, and he then discovered the difficulties attendant on tapturing his wagon. CAPTAIN JACK HIMSELF could not have secured a better hiding place in the heart of the lava beds than did No, — for the vic tim’s wagon. Vainly he shouted the mystic num- ber and wandered ali over the track; but it was of no avail, and in despair he returned to the grand stand apd was preparing to return by the cars, laid in a stock of “sure things” at various degrees of expensivent was made a little Babel of bi \d opinions. The poo! seller, near the judyes’ stand, was in his shirt sleeves, and 80 warm that there was a perspiring energy in his announce- ments of prices. In his fondneas for sport 1t would Seem that every horse FROM THE WINNER TO THE “DUFFER" was alike dear to his soul. Punctual to the hour of three the three-year-olds in the first race were at the post. The start was had, the running made and the race won tn a very ‘This was very natural, for many and the distance was only A mile and a quar- ter, It caused great excitement, however, and brought the spectators on the grand stand to their teet in a lively way. A PECULIAR SPECTATOR, An elderly gentieman in one of the front benches of the ladies’ stand sat beside the writer. He had been looking about him with a pleased expression, and made several audible exclamations when any- ane particularly struck his fancy. Blue-eyed blonde or @ black-eyed brunette seemed equally acceptable to his appreciative faculties. He car- Tied a field glass in bis hand, and when he had sighted out acharming group under the shade of the trees on the biuffnear the club house he fairly chuckled with delight. As the jockeys rode out to warm their horses he inspected them thoroughly, and, having done so, sat down contentedly, folded his arms and closed his eyes. During the short- lived excitement of the race he never moved, but @ quaint smile played over bis features, An awk- ward stumble on the part of his neighbor caused a sudden arousing of the old gentleman, and he jumped, with all the suppressed rage on his face of @ man who had been wounded in HIS TENDEREST PLACE—HIS CORNE, “Sir,” said he, addressing the writer, “it is pain- fal to have one’s dreams shattered with a No. 12 boot.” “Then you were asleep. “Oh, dear, no. It’s far more pleasant than look- ing at the race. Idon’t like the course; you can’t see more than half of it. While the horse and rider are hidden from view occurs a pause in the enjoyment, which is painfa) to me. I prefer to trust to imagination altogether. The cries of the spectators give me all the cues | want, and iny race then transcends anything that ever was seen on a worldly track.’? “You have a race of your own?’ “This is how it is:—I place the horses and riders in all their beauty of form and color in a scene of the most gorgeous setting—in fact. in any scene I please, ‘They’re off,’ shout the multitude. Then I set the horses going . QUICKER THAN ANYTHING EVER RAN ON LEGS, It’s surprising what speed I can attain in this way. I seem to ie along witb them. There are millions of people, instead of thousands, looking on at myrace, ‘Survivor's ahead!’ cry the ladies, and my Survivor leaps to the front like a magician ‘passing’ acard., It takes hours to run my race, and the scene that I work up at tne finish is a mas- terplece of mediwval pageantry. I wish I could show it to you.”” “Excuse me, sir,’ said a solid-looking individual behind me, whispering in my ear. ‘He’s perfectly harmless. I'll take him down stairs now and COOL HIS HEAD." This is the way one individual enjoyed the race which brought Barbe, the English jockey, in his “ten of hearts’ jacket, to the front. THE SECOND RACE created very little excitement, there being but two horses and the favorite winning. The Westchester Cup race was a fine contest, and from the interest taken in the rival stables and the length of the race (two miles and a quarter) the most important of the day, Wanderer came in ahead with a nigger jock on his back, who, according to the pa of all young equestrians of color, could not eep HIS CAP ON THE TOP OF HIS WOOL. The defeat of True Blue was noticeable because of the fact that be was ridden by Haywood, of San- ford’s stable, and although he made a bad start and was left behind in the first half mile came in second in handsome style. THE FUN OF THE DAY was inthe hack race, ridden by members of the Cluv at welter weights. It was only a three-quar- ter mile dash, and was won by Mr. Peet's Ophelia without much trouble. Mr, Center, who rode the second horse, White Nose, has the air of a Ger- mun professor with glasses. As he neared the line his cap flew off, and an unkind and irreverent “sport”? on the quarter stretch, who has read Cowper's ems, repeated a line or two irom John Gilpin. A curious fact in this gentleman’s race is, that the multitude seemed to mistake the last horse for the winner (he was @ good distance behind) and cheered him enthusi- astically. There could have been NO IRONY IN THIS, could there ? A handsome silver cup, with pawing steeds for handles, went to the winner, a gold mounted whip to the second, and Mr, Purdy won his silver spurs asa third, THE HURDLE RACE ‘was declared off, there being only two to start, and so the day closed with a hurdle handicap, wherein the Irish steeplechase rider, Gaffney, on Village Blacksmith, had it all his own way with Victor, who belied his name. THE LADIES AND THEIR TOILETS. The ladies, with their summer toilets, were as bewildering to describe as the phantasy with whitch Nature embroiders her veils in Midwinter. A fair, fresh picture truly they made of the Grand Stand and the Club House, as if a bursting sun- beam had limned it. Among the beautiful faces there was one more beautiful than the rest—a silken, brown-haired maiden, with cheeks tinted with young blood, and modest hazel eyes full of sense and sensibility. Her escort must have been her brother, for they scarcely moved or spoke since taking their seats. No lovers could remain so long silent; they had come evidently to enjoy the rac- ing, as they seemed rather to shun than court ob- servation, There was one as busy asa honey bee in a field of white clover, who said she had ‘lost three times to-day,”’ and was glovelese, THIS VIVACIOUS, SPARKLING BRUNETTE was dressed in raby silk, and wore her rich colors as becomingly and naturally as “a bright bird." Here is the handsome madame whose semi-an- nual visits to Jerome with her husband are not her only commendable pleasures. For such of our readers as are tired of the eye wearying over the rufied, fluted, folded, puckered up, horizontally, lengthwise, crosswise, pyramidal and serpentine, ‘with all the hues and colors of THAT FAMOUS OLD COAT OF JOSEPH’S, and with bigger buttons, we opine, this lady’s “new departure” will have charms. Her toilet ‘Was one Where real elegance took the place of show. Her dress is the richest of “gros de Alric’? fawn colored silk. The skirt was cut for carriage use, and trailed considerably; it had no trimming of any kind—no over- skirt, no polonaise; the skirt full and gored in the iront breadth only; the body plain and high at the throat, quite short at the waist, an easy, ful Mt; the sleeve half fowing, with point lace’ undersieeve, flowing also; point lace col- lar, diamond brooch and earrin, Over her shoul- ders, gracefully disposed in folas and fastened with onyx pins, was worn a magnificent black Chan- tilly lace shaw! of ample size, the rounding corner in the back reaching well down on the skirt, show- ing its elegant pattern to good advantage ; bonnet of finest Leghorn, trimmed with biack chantill: lace. A delicate brown vine creeps, clings an climbs so naturally in and out among the rich lace as to give the impression it had grown there uutil it overrun the summit and fell down the back, where it burst out in clusters of delicate white bloom. Her gloves matching the dress, were three- buttoned, stitched with black, HER COMPANION was a regal-looking girl of twenty-five Summers, or thereabout. Her dress vus black silk tissue, with Spanish founces put oa in boxplaite, headed by a very full rache of pinked-out violet silk; under- dress of violet; “reaingote’’ of rich violet corded silk, broadly banded and knotted low down on the Tight side, with black silk velvet on the bias; coat sleeve, with black velve; pointed cuff; a fail wide plaited fall of white tule at the hand; the same soft tulle ruche, only much fuller, encircled her milk-white throat, her fir hair was frizzed on the forehead & la mode and combed from the back to the top of the head, where it was surmounted by a white chip bonnet trimued In loops of pale violet ribbon, and white Alengon point lace and wiid roses; black gloves stitcied with white; pink coral earrings and necklace. A MISS OF SIXTEEN wore a light blue silk with ruffles three inches wide, five in number, on her rather short skirt. These ruMes were pinked on both edges, white Swiss poionaise, blue gloves, Leghorn fat, banded with plain, very light blue rivbon, No, 10 in width, tied in a careless bow at the back of the crown, with long ends. Her long, natarally curly hair forined no inconsiderate part of ber beauty, but its chiefest charm was her angelic blue eyes, which harmon- -ized so well with her dress. A “a WEALTHY WIDOW" appeared in a most unobtrusive and engaging style. It was black satin, with black lace founce three-fourths of a yard deep, headed by two black silk rues bound with the silk, black silk polonaise, trimmed with three ruffles edged with narrow edging. Her bonnet was also black, with black fowers—a Frenchy style of suit throushout, Nothing could be more complete, relieved as it was by her beautiful bouquet in a goldn filagree holder. White silk parasol, covered with white real blonde lace—no jewelry but rings. Two young ladies, belonging to New Jersey, wer¢ dressed in bright blue poplins, ALIKE IN ALL PARTICULARS; silver-gray split straw round hats, vith gray os- trich tips, while mohair lace sacquei, with wide, flowing sleeves, biue gloves, blue parasols, with black Chantilly covers. They were the, win beauties of the day. ; BLUE WAS THE PREDOMINANT }OLOR among the many lancy colors won, The fine striped gray and black and biack all white silks made “en suite’ look equally well @ the peachy blonde and the raby-lipped brunetts in lookin from the one thus dressed to the otier we find i 80 altogether becoming there reming only the simile—*'the lily and the rose,’’ COMING HOME, The club houses on the road wereliberally pat- ronized, as the thickness of the dust; atmosphere had a tendedcy to irritation of the \hroat unless that organ was kept weil moistened sy the bever- ages to Which it was accustomed. Ater crossing the bridge the drive home was very pleasant, as the watering carts had evidentiybeen out in force and done good service. Mny stopped on the road and in the Pak to din- ner, preferring to escape the crowd and og home quietly in the evening. Onine way back he Park was very crowded, as numers of those quire artificicial means to freshen the bloom on their cheeks, THE RACING. The admirers and judges of good racing were charmed yesterday with the sport that came off-at Jerome Park. The weather was delightfu’, the track in capital condition and fast running was the re- sult. Five races were on the eard: the first a dash of a mile and a quarter between seven three-year- Olds; the second a dash of a mile and three-quar- ters; the third the Westchester Cup; the fourth a hack race, by members of the Club, and the flith a hurdle race, ‘The first was for a purse for three-year-olds, with penalties for the winners of the Belmont and Ladies’ Stakes, but neither of these put in an appearance. The starters were John F. Chamberlin’s bay colt Survivor, by Vandal, cam by Lexington; M. A. Lattell’s chestnut colt Fellowcraft, by Austra- Man, dam Aerolite; D., D. Withers’ bay colt Stonehenge, by Blair Athol, dam Coimbra; A, B. Lewis & Co.'s bay colt Bob Johnston, by Hunter’s Lexington, dam by Oliver; James A, Grinstead’s chestnut filly Eclair, by Lightning, dam Brenna; I. W. Pennock’s bay colt by Planet, dam Rebecca T. Price; G. Bell’s bay colt McFadden, by Lightning, dam Nora Creina. Survivor was the favorite in the majority of the pools sold; but Stonebenge in many of them overtopped him. Joe Johnson was the third in favor, as every one knew he was a dangerous colt when he felt ina running mood; but he is one of the uncertain kind, liable tosulk and stop at any time during the race. He ran kind at Baltimore and made a good race. He was backed to do the like yesterday; but it turned out his day to sulk, and he was badly beaten by three of the starters, Mr. Chamberlin’s colt Survivor won the race very handily, Mr. Littell's Fellowcrait running second and Stonehenge third, Stonehenge followed Survivor when the latter made his ruu for the lead alter running a little over half a mile and succeeded in Teaching second place; but after going a mile he was pumped out, and Fellowcraft overtook him and beat him home. None of the others were of any account in a race with so good a colt as Sur- vivor at any distance, Tue winner is a mag- nificently formed colt, with a strikingly racing ap- pearance. He runs close to the earch, and makes very little apparent exertion in getting over the ground. There was a great deal of money won and lost on the result of this race, Filteen hun- dred and fifty-two pools were sold on the race in the French Mutuals alone, The second race was for a purse, the distance be- ing one mile and three-quarters. The entries were M. H. Sanford’s bay colt Mate, by Australian, dam Mattie Gross, four years old; D. McDaniel & Co.'s chestnut colt Hubbard, by Planet, dam Minnie Mansiield, four years oid, and J. F. Wilson & Co.'s chestnut colt John Boulger, by Revolver, dam Mat- tie C, The latter did not come. to the scratch. Mate was the favorite in this race at tive to three, and there was large betting on the result. Mate made a trailing race of it and won on the last hun- dred yards. He came in a length ahead. This ia Mate’s second victory, he having won a mile aud a uarter dash -the first day of the meeting. the herse is very fat, yet he manages to carry his adipose very cleverly and runs like a race horse. He seems iu the right condition for the campaign before him. The doubt that some people expressed about Mate’s ability to ran on ts now put at rest, as he did net seem much dis- tressed py the run on this occasion. Hubbard per- formed about as well as lis backers supposed he would, but they reckoned too lightly on the capa- bilities of his opponent. The third race, and the great event of the day, was for the Westchester Cup. This race was inau- gurated in 1867, and, with the Belmont and Ladics’ Stakes, is looked 1orward to every Spring bee as an event of great importance. Mr. Sanfor won it first with Loadstoue, a six-year-old, who carried 131 lbs., in 4:10%; in 1868 Local won the Cup, with 114 lbs. up. he being a five-year-old, in 4:03%; the Banshee won it in 1869, 194; in 1870 it was won by , in Helmbold, in 4:11; in 1871 by Preakness, in 4:15; in 1872 by Harry Bassett, in 4:18%, and yes- terday by Wanderer in 4:04, Since Loadstone’s time the winners have each carried weight for age. The contestants, on this occasion, were Kice & McCormick’s chestnut horse Wanderer, by Lex- ington, dam Coral, 5 years old; John F. Chamber- lin’s bay colt True Blue, by Lexington, dam Bal- loon, 4:yeats Olds ‘Thomas W. Doswell’s bay horse Eolus, by Leamington, dam Fanny Washington, 6 years old; nes & McCormick's bay tijly Bessie Lee, by Hunter's Lexington, dam by Chorister, and Isaac W. Pennock’s bay colt by Vandal, dam Mar- ‘avine. The betting was very heavy, Kice & icCormick's entries having the call in the pool sales, True Blue being second choice, Kolus third, Wanderer cut out the work at the start and showed the way to the end, True Blue being second. The latter became very restive when taken to the starting place, and it was with dimiculty that he was induced to go up with the others: he seemed inclined to run the other way. He looked rather thin in flesh, and did not start with the same vim that he showed at Baltimore. He was so long in getting in motton when the flag fell that he was fifteen or twenty lengths behind the leader at the stand after running a quarter of a mile, and it was our impression then that he would have to be the best horse in the world if he could shut up such @ gap and win the race from so good a horse as Wanderer, True Blue did outrun and beat all the others in the race; but he could not overtake Wanderer. The race was @ remarkably fast one, and the winning of the cup in the time made, 4:04, stamps Wanderer a race horse of @ superior order, Wanderer and Trne Blue wili meet again on the 8th of July at Mohmouth Park, in arace for the Monmouth Cup. Eolus ran @ steady, good race. but he was out-pacea by the above-mentione: racers, From the manner that Wanderer dashed away at the start it was the general impression that he was making the pace for his stable com- panion, Bessie Lee, and that she was the one that was to win the race, and not unti) the Wanderer had run two miles were the people satisfied that he was the winning horse. The race was a capital one, and will long be remembered by these who witnessed it. ‘The hack race followed. This was for a subscrip- tion cup valued at $600; the second horse to re- ceive a gold-mounted whip and the third horse a air Of ae There were five entries, all the jorses to ridden by members of the ‘American Jockey Club. The entries were W. E. Peet's bay filly Ophelia, by Jerome mee dam Pasta, 4 years old, carrying 146 lbs.; Robert Center’s chestnut colt Whitehose, by King Lear, dam Earring, 4 tent old, 145 Ibs.; A. B, Purdy’s gray colt Frank wilt, by Eugene, dam Faith, 4 years old, 145 Ibs. ; J. G. K. Lawrence’s gray gelding Locninvar, by Ulverston, dam Bridget, 6 years Old, 153 Ibs., and A. Clason’s brown gelding Spider, pedigree un- ‘rhe gentlemen riders were all beautifully dressed in their own recorded colors, and rode very finely. Mr, Peet anc his ay Mode lia won @ very easy race, Mr. Center with Whitehose second and Mr. Purdy with Frank Swift third, Mr. Law- rence was slow in getting away, and was fourth at the finish. ‘He was the favorite before the start at even money against the field. Many of his triends lost Loaae The closing event of the day was a handicap lur- die race between J. G. K. Lawrence’s chestnut horse Village Blacksmith and Peter Walden’s bay horse Victor, the former carrying 150 pounds and the latter 134 pounds. There were no pools on this Trace, as tt was an impromptu affair, the hurdle race announced to take place having lallen through by the withdrawal at the last moment of one of the horses and after thousands of dollars had been wagered on the result. Village Blacksmith won the race with lots to spare. The following are the details of the racing as it came off:— The First Race.

The start was even, but Mate was immediately ulled back, and Hubbard took a lead of six lengths before he reached the bluff, Going around the hill Mate closed up to within four lengths of Hubbard, and when they appeared on the lower turn Hubbard continued to lead about the distance of ground. Mate trailed on until he reached the stand, when Hayward gave him his head, and he closed gradually around the upper tura, ‘and lay | two lengths behind at the quarter pole. Mate was two lengths behind around the bluff, Hayward evi- dentiy biding his time. The horses passed out of sight in this way; but when they appeared on the lower turn they were nose and tail, Hubbard leading. There was no change at the three-quarter ole, and they came into the nomestretch, Hub- ard leading with Mate at his quarters. Then the struggle commenced in earnest, At the furlong pole the horses were head and head, but it was evident at this point that Mate was the beat horse. Hayward waited until fe was within one hundred yards of home, when he came away from Hub- bard, and won the race by a length in 3:094,. The Third Race.

The horses then made the turn of the hill and passed out of sight. When they appeared in view Wanderer was still four lengths ahead of Folus, who wes four lengths in front of True Blue, the lat- ter being three lengths ahead of Pennock, who was three lengths in advance of Bessie Lee. There was no change of place up the homestretch, except that Pennock feilin the rear, where he remained for the remainder of the race.

The horses then passed around the hill and were out of sight several sec- onds, When they came to view again Blacksmith was stilltwo lengths in advance of Victor. The second hurdle was alge about midway of the lower turn, and in going over this Victor knocked it down, making the road clear for the next round, Victor closed with the Blacksmith coming up the homestretch, and they both jumped the hurdle at the toot of the grand stand head and head, The hurdle was knocked down by one or both of the horses, The horses then ran close together past the stand, bat going around the upper turn Village Blacksmith drew away two lengths from Vic- tor. This advantage he carried to the quarter pole; but as he came down to the blulf Victor was at the tail of the Blacksmith, the latter jumping the hurdle at the foot of the binf one‘length ahead. ‘The latter ran wide after the jump, and lost three or four lengths, but this he nearly made up while out of sight going to the lower turn. They had no more jumping to do now. as both the hurdies on the lower turn and the homestretch were down, Village Blacksmith leit Victor at the three-quarter pole, and coming away steadily, won the race by eight lengths in 3:27%.

In drawing for places Minnie won the pole, with Pat second and Lady Jenes third, First Heat.—There was a good send-off at the second start. Minnie was crowded out on the grass, but in rounding the first turn she got out of the way and passed the quarter pole in forty sec- onds, leading handsomely, with Lady Jones second and Pat close behind until he lost bis feet and fell back. Minnie kept her place well, and was nearly two lengths ahead of the Lady at the half-mile pole in 1:21, when, without any apparent cause, she broke badly, letting both the others pass her. She did not get fairly quieted down again during the heat, which was won b; Jones in 2:42%, With Pat about two lengths behind and Minnie at least a half-dozen lengths behind him.

In the cond quarter of this heat Pat showed that he could ¢ & 2:40 gait and hold it well. Third Heat.—A very even start was made, though Minnie’s friend’ claimed that she was not working a8 steadily as usual, which is probable, from the fact that she broke soon after the word was given, and fell three or four lengths behind. Lady Jones trotted steadily on, with Pat only a length behiad at the quarter pole, in 40, and she kept gaining until she passed the half-mile, four lengths ahead, in 1:20, Pat leading Minnie hand- somely. At the three-quarter pole the relative positions of the Lady and Pat were about the same; but Minnie, having fairly re- covered herself, was gaining upon them, and as she came into the homestretch she struck a rattling gait, passing Pat and getting hearer to the Lady at every stride, The difference Was too great lor the distance, however, although she avas doing the best trotting of the day, and the Peivt came in @ winner of the heat and race in SYNOPSIS, Sweepstakes for $1,000, mile heats, best 3 in 5, to wagons. 8.

A CELESTIAL ROW. = See, Riot Among Chinamen at Beaver Falls, Pa. Prirspura, Pa., June 14, 1873. Last night a serious riot occurred at Beaver Falls, arising out of the soctal habits of Chinese employ¢s. It appears that the Cutlery Company have in tneir employ upwards of two hundred Celestiais under the charge of two interpreters, Ah Poy and Cho Hong. There exists between these Joss worshippers a rivalry and bitter feeling of jealousy, which became manifested on more than one occasion. The rules of the Cutlery vom- pany are very strict, and among the orders lately issued was one prohibiting the use of opium and another forbidding gambling by Chinamen. Ah Poy himself, 1t is stated, suggested the idea of at- tacking those besetting evils of the children of the Flowery Kingdom, who take such delight in sin- ning that way. Yesterday, in pursuance o1 the order against opium, Crane, one of Ah Poy’s party, went so far as to take the pipe out of the mouth of a China- man who was soothing his nerves with opium. This was a signal for a grand row, and the victim of this act of oppression assailed Crane with abuse, in which he was soon joined by others, Finally | they branched of from Crane and opium to an | attack on Ah Pey and his management of China- | men’s wages. They charge him with swindling and mismanagemeni, as he had control of all their earnings and their actions. They say that they are in fact seris of this agent and thetr wages are entirely at his disposal. Toward nightfall ali the Chinamen in the employ of the company struck from work and the excitement was intense, As soon as it became dark four of the discharged | men crept under.the shed by which Ah Poy was known to pass on his way to his residence. They were all well armed WITH KNIVES AND WEAVY IRON CLUBS, and had murder in their hearts. They were rein forced by about forty of Che Hong’s party, and when they got into the streets of Beaver tn their wild rage the scene was calculated te alarm every one. Ah Poy, however, managed to reach the residence of Crane, where he iound refuge from his parsuers, They coolly invited him out to meet them, pledging their words as gentlemen thatif he did they would cut him into pieces. The whites, who like to see fights among Chinese, were there, and incited them to deeds of blood, with ample as- surances that they wouid see them out of trouble. Fortanately, Ah Poy escaped injury. Finally the excitement was quelled in the street, but when the Chinamen repatred to their quarters the sounds which proceeded from them were a medley of the wildest and most confused charac- ter. Cho Hong and his brother Celestials refused to work to-day and were discharged. They will Serlous 5 RACING IN ENGLAND. The Bath and _ vyorl Meetings. ood The Somersetshire Stakes—Mornington Scoreg Another Victory—The Great Northern Handicap—Freeman Wins for the Second Time—Decline of Betting on the Derby—The Backers Have No Money, LonvoN, May 22, 1478, Half a dozen iaeetings are being held this week in various parts of the country, and the two prin. cipal—those of Bath and York—have been brought to a close, each having lasted a couple of days. None of the gatherings of the week, however, are of great importance; but at one period that at Bath was one of tne most flourishing in the King- dom. It was especially remarkable for the heavy betting on the Derby which used to mark its prog- ress. In the intervals of the races I have seen many thousands of pounds betted on the great event of next week, and in the large room of the ‘Castle’? Hotel at night the crowd used to be so dense that 1t was almost impossible to move, while the Derby speculation that took place was of gigan> tic magnitude. It was here, for example, that Caractacus, who had been @ complete outsider, “dropped from the clouds,” and a week later won the greatest race in the world over the Epsom Downs. It was at Bath that we were in the habit of seeing commissions worked on horses that had previously cut bat an indifferent figure on the quotations or had not been heard of at all, wnile the operations in regard to the favorites were always watched with extreme interest. Those days have gone by, perhaps forever, and the scene presented at Bath this week would have led even the warmest admirers of the sport to come to tha conclusion that the BRITISH TURF 18 ON ITS LAST LEGS, During the two days nota dozen bets were nev gotiated on the Derby en the course, and at night the “Castle? was a howling wilderness. The large room was occupied only by two or three “‘bagmen’ and as many farmers from the neighborhood, who, far from speculating on the Derby, “care for none of these things.” Not a single betting man ap- peared during the evening, and the regular backers uf horses were as “conspicuous by their absence.’ Not a alngle bet was laid, not even an offer on the Derby was heard, at a place whick has in past years echoed with shouts of theusands, and which has seen fortunes placed at stake in a few minutes, . The contrast was one of the most remarkable I ever Saw, and to those who hoid the opinion that the turf cannot exist witheut betting—and they com- prise nearly all who know anything of the subject— must have been depressing in the extreme, Tho same was the case at York, On the ‘Knaves? Mire’*—one of the most famous racing grounds in England, and in the heart of a district noted above all others for its love of the horse aud its deep in- terest in turf pursuits—not more than a dozen transactions on the Derby were etfected during the two days of the meeting, and the subscription room at Harker's Hotel— where in the prosperous days of the sport we have witnessed operations of immense magai- tude, waa almost completely deserted, and was silent, but for the whispered jeremiads of the two or three members who occasionally dropped in, looked round them fora few minutes, and then suddenly departed. This state of matters 18 due, no doubt, partly to the fact that the BACKERS HAVE NO MONEY, and that, indeed, their ranks are so reduced thas they cannot make a show of adil The Knglish tut has never thorougiily recovered from the wild, “plunging” days of the Marquis of Hastings, thi Duke of Newcastle and other gamblers of less note, who were sucked down in that ter- rible turf maeistrem. Even those among the backers who can afford to speculite see that betting is a good thing only for one class—the betting men who have had it always all their own way, but whe are becoming more Beet cious every year. Most of the money that how circulates on the turf is derived not from wealthy men of fashion, who take to the sport as an amusement, but from the general public, who dabble through cemmission agencies in half sove- Teigna, pounds and “fiv *’ and never see & race course from one year’s end to another, This is not enough to keep up the old vitality of our turf, and within a week of our greatest race, we find the bet- kaif men gleomily staring at each other in the rings at Bath and York, having no work to do with the public and fearing to gamble among themselves, under the tmpression that in doing so they may, LIKE KILKENNY CATS, EAT BACH O1MER UP, The stagnation, however, is, no doubt, also due partly to the fact that the Derby appears to be Wwhoily at the mercy of one of two animals, Gang Forqard and Kaiser. ‘Tt the public would like to back, but not at the pri now offered against them, and the layers are so convinced that one or other wil win that they are atraid to enlarge their bids. The racing at Bath and York was only in- different, and the principal event at the former meeting, the Somersetshire Stakes, was but the shadow of its former self, Year by year it has been slowly sinking in interest, and the alteration , of the distance from two and @ quarter miles to one mile five furlongs has done no good whatever, Yesterday there were only four runners, and the race was considered to be so much at the mercy of one ti@t odds of 2 to 1 were laid on him. ts was Mornington, who, a few weeks ago, carried off Sty and Suburban and the Great Metropolitan a som in successive days.

Altesse, lying next to the rails, maintained the command as they went round the bend into the straight run home, with Mern- ington close behind. At the distance the latter darted up to the leader and @ hard race for victory ensued, of which Mornington just got the best on the post by a head, having nothing to spare, and only getting howe by the fine horse- manship of Cannon.
