AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB. Sixth and Last Day of the Spring Meeting at Jerome Park. _ & Brilliant Day and a Large Crowd in Attendance. The Scenes by the Road Side, at the Clud House and the Drive to the Course. The Dust and the Heat and the Determi- nation of the Spectators. A JOCKEY BADLY INJURED. FIVE CAPITAL RACES. Gount D'Orsay the Winner of the Weatherby Stakes, Stockwood of the Free Handicap, Sanford of the Mile Dash Selling Race, Vespucins of the Mile and Three-Quarter Selling Race and Duffy of the Steople-Chase. ‘The Spring meeting of 1973 of the American Jockey Club came to a close yesterday with @ bril- Mancy that its most enthusiastic admirers had Bardly dared to realize. There were many draw- backs this year that went a great way towards de- tracting from the general interest usually held in tne races at thie American Derby of ours; but somehow Jerome Park {from birth, it seems, was @entined to make a large place in the world, and against the inevitable no one can, even if he has the privilege, dare to stand. THE DAY, It was an exceedingly warm day, was yesterday. From the time the sun “in all his glory,’ as tho Bovelists have it, began to shed his brilliant rays “apon the world beneath” the roads and @venues leading to Jerome Park were erowded with all sorts of equipages. The trains @m the Harlem road—the special trains, the reg- lar trains and the excursion trains—were all alike sroweed, @nd crowded in such a way that no ee who sought comfort or contentment conla ponsibly realize the true idea of what com- fort really is, Still, everybody seemed happy. The temperature was barbarousiy hot, the air fairly snapped with its nidden’explosives; yet all @ay long, till after noontide, the stream of car- Fiages up Jerome avenue was incessant. The ave- Tue, it is true, is ‘long and broad; it is just now lined with trees, tresh and glowing in blooming fol , and the birds from morn to night make eweet music amid the deep green flelds that serve as an outer frame to its dry outline; and so those of ‘as who daily sigh for country life and country en- Joyments imagine that a drive to the races at the American Jockey resort is all that can be wished for. But there are two sides to every question. One may plod along quite comfortably in lile amid all the scenes that harrow the mind—that make the sensitive soul recoil in horror; and yet when ene is introduced into a new scene of life, which promises all that is enjoyment and delectation, and finds nothing but disappointment, there can be but one result, and that is a feeling of despair that mo Words can express. Such must have been the realization of any newcomer on his way to _ YEROMB PARK YESTERDAY. No one can deny but that the Club which gives Aife to the annual races there is wealthy and that it deserves well of the public, but it must be con- Sensed that yesterday thousands were driven away because of the dusty roads that lead to it, and which @ dozen shower-carts could have trans- formed into roads of blissful travelling in the work of ten minutes every hour. But the roads are, after all, the city property, and the club is not ‘altogether to blame,although it does seem as though it might have made good use of its potent in- ftuence with all mankind in general jn the city hhmits and managed to have the rebellious dust, laid sweetly sleeping long before the thousands who wended their way to the Park, eager to wit- neas the races, had started from their downtown habitations. However, as between the Club and the naughty city authorities, who ought to have done their duty, we have no dispute. The fact re- mains the same that the roads from Macomb’s Dam upward were in a horrible condition. The dust was fully a foot thick on the street level, and fine and flimsy as down of the first quality. Though all day long the carriages of THE UPPER TEN went up to stay, and the mmbering coaches “of the lower one hundred went up to deliver their cargo of human freight to order and retarn and go back so long as the tariff made the drivers content, yet there was no room for perspective. ‘One might as well have been coming or going ina battle, where the smoke ofthe strife outrivalied the thunder clouds in obscurity, as to have at- tempted to go to the races yesterday and ex- changed recognition with friends of “Auld Lang Syne” or otherwise. The fact is, the road to nd from the course all day was a s:ffocat- ing enormity. Every one who started out with fresh linen from home found himself in dismally @ithy attire when he arrived at the Park, and even though he may have been compelled for decency sake to give himself up to the servants of the Airi- ean order at the gate for the brief space of five minutes for A GOOD BRUSHING DOWN hhe could not but feel as he went upon the grand Stand that he was fearfully and wonderfully out of piace, @nu that all the grand ladies about must have fallen, frocked, ribboned, tur- {belowed and daintily fringed’ straight’ from the blue ethereal sky overlead. And yet, othwithstanding the ciuuds of dust that blocked the way to and trom the Park, the reads that lead to it irom the city and from the country longed 01 lor the old favorit echo of the dog cart and the drag. The aristocrat dared to soil his sining ‘broadcloth in his high seat, with his pretty compan- gons in auinty ovel-iinens on the back seats, ior the sake of attending the closing scenes ot the Spy Meeting; and the man who claims no aris- tocfatic place in society or elsewhere, he of the daily work by sweat 0: brow, also went on his way, and rode, against all tallor consequences, alter his choking beast that dragged his little tam: ly to @ scene that they had anticipated for months—all despitetul of the dust that biinded, the breeze that drove it in clouds that worried airivera and sickened every one who strove to fight along the THE PATHWAY ON Foot. When the course was reached it presented all its usual p ootsb The day was, over head, all that could desired, The gun was not too hot, mor were the gusts of wind that every now and then rushed down irom the neigh- boring hill tops too uncomfortable even tor the select few nobles trom Swede land, lately arrived, who had got themselves into a good position near the pool tents. It was a matter of regret, it is true, that no amount of oMcial sprink- past allay the ire of the dust king, who, not- withstanding all that could be done, made the weil- raked earth on the track rise in frolic and scatter itsel in flimsy clouds aii over the grand stand STom noon till late in the darksome daytime; yet ‘when the hour had arrived ior the races to begin there was found AN IMMENSE CROWD IN ATTENDANCE. From the Club House tie array of veticies to be seen, to tne “right and to the left, inside course and outside of it, would have ex- cited the admiration of Xerxes — himseif. They were crowded everywhere and in all poritions. +Behind the Club House the stylish equtpages of the members of the club were ranged im stately row as if on parade, one after the other, each with its particular guardian at the horses’ head, looking for all the world as though his life uepended upon keeping his eyes on the horse he guarded alone, No matter how the complexion of affairs might grow on the course below. Then there was, behind the grand stand and to the front of itan assemblage of vehicles of the hired and borrowed order that was innumerabie, Byen the old staid policeman, who acts as asort of centurion jor every wunfledged stranger, who b ticket = in mand to venture on bag course, declared that he had never seen anytuing like it before since the race betw Bassett and Monarchist. In tact there wasscarcely NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JUNE 22, 1873—QUADRUPLE SHEET. standing room tor the lively darkies, who had to stand religiously behind a given line at the gate- to get a customer whose of iodder and whose of dusting. ‘The crowd was immense. The lower story of tne stand was adorned with a gatnering of fair sex that was as iashionable ery respect as the Most exacting in manuers and styles could desire. The balconies 01 the Club House itself and the green swurd that faces the course presented an animated sppesrancs that was truly enchan' Every available space was seized upon long befere the race began, and when the beli finally tolled out that the sport of the Gay was to the green everywhere about the House was swarming with the fashionables. The privileged few on the Club bluff and the hundreds who paid for the pleasure of witnessing the sports of the day were not the only ones who, by their presence, aided in making the general scene a most exciting one, for the hills outside of the sacred limits all about the course were black with eoger sightseers of both sexes. Even the great trees in the deep woods to the south of the course held their quota of anxious spectators, and by the time the races it ig safe to say that Jerome Park had never witnessed A DAY OF GREATER GLORY. The crowd that was on the und was a good- Rumored crowd, and when it won on a race it cheered wildly, and when its sympathies carried its surplus funds away with them and a race was a consequent loss the chan made no alteration in the general go nature, and all went on as merrily as a° marriage bell. It must have been strange indeed to a stranger who does not know how well policed Jerome Park is to witness the order that prevailed everywhere. It is true there was bustle and con- fusion and loud talking, and even high words in disputes when large bets were concerned; but not atany moment was there a scene that could disgrace. The detectives were known to be everywhere, and the “habitual criminals’ did not dare to go to the course. Yet, detectives or no detectives, itis pretty certain that the same order would have prevailed all the same; for, where there is no temptation to misconduct and every One tries to constitute Dimself a guardian ef the peace by tacit compliance with every regulation, the police become a mere ornamental adjunct to a general plan of general enjoyment. ALL THE RACES WENT OP¥ FINELY. The result of the first race made quite a flutter among some knowing ones, But that is neither here nor there. There was but one thing durin, the day that in any way marred the genera! enjoyment, and which in a at measure shows how heartless a public gathering, intent upon its own enjoyment, generally is as regards the fate of any one who spends his best efforts to please them and yet at the game time endangers his life. It was this:— One of the horses booked to run in the hurdle race, while being exercised by his Ngee , stumbled over one of the hurdies, threw his rider and fell upon him, This accident was at a supreme moment. A PART OF THE SPORT. The hurdle Yace 8} Avout fo begin, Th horse was a rece ef 5 hat a ties Giri? of money was wagered upon his position in the race; ret, when the boy was thrown and the horse umbied over him, leaving him on the ground like one dead, not a man started from the mass of spectators te assist him. There happened to be a few policemen on hand, and they, with Dr. A. A. Molony and Dr. Henry, took charge of the boy. He ‘Was unconscious, entirely so, The horse, in fallin upon him, had struck him with one of his hoot over the left eye, causing a bad wonud, A horse blanket was procured 4nd, like a corpse, the poor fellow was carried from the field by policemen and doctors to A littlé grove to the north of the course, where every appliance was used to bring him to, and with some degrée of success. Meanwhile the flag nad dropped and the hurdle race began. The exciting cries from the grand stand reached where the injured jockey was lying, and straightway the policemen and all the jockey’s stable poepenions rushed away from him and dashed into the field, asking “Which horse leads ?’? fe doctors alone remained with the senseless boy, and while the cheers for the victor of the race were rending the air he was carried away to a near-by hospital. fon Peele is life, and jockeys, we suppose, are only jocke; sr i The track had been sprinkled during the previ- ous night and early yesterday morning, but with all the pains that had been taken to moisten it and keep down the dust, there were times during the day when the wind swept over the grounds with such force that everything was enveloped in clouds of impalpable yellow powder. The track was in fine racing order and good time was made in every race except the last. There were but three events on the card, yet five very interesting races came of, Ip the original schedule of the races a three- imile dash for a purse was inserted, but when the time of closing arrived on Friday afternoon there were not entries enough to make the race, and two other ones were improvised, which were not inserted on the cards, ‘The first race was for the Weatherby Stakes for three year olds, with pemalties for the owners of the Belmont and Ladies’ Stakes, but as neither of these fortunate horses were entered for this stake out of the thirty-two entries five good ones came to the post. These were Mr. Belmont’s two colts Count D’Orsay and Silk Stockings, Mr. Gimstead’s colt Crockford, Hunter Traver's, imported colt Strachino and Mr. Littell’ colt Fellowcraft. Crockford w: great favorite over the others, and the betting around the course away from the pool box and the Paris Mutuals was Crockford against the field at even money. Inthe pools he Was at nearly the same rate. Strachino sold for second choice in the last few pools sold. Count D’Orsay beat the favorite, and so did strachino, and we were not surprised at the result, as we discovered that Count D’Orsay was a superior racehorse in the Belment Stakes, running second to Springbok, and it will be remembered that Strachino was third, Nothing was known about Crockford as a weight-carrier ora distance horse. He had been tried at mile heats, with 99 lbs. up, but in the Weatherby Stakes he had to carry 110 Ibs., which seems a crusher for many a Qood western colt. D’Orsay, Strachino aud Fel-.| lowcrait had been through the ordeal with weight, and at only a furlong less than the race yesterday, and they were found competent for the task, and we wondered at the state of the odds when the pool selling began. The lesson the Southern and Western men got on Sallie Watson in the race for the Ladies’ Stakes should not have been forgotten. Sailie Watson had not been tried, neither had Crockford, with weight and distance, and they were both beaten. They are both first class racehorses notwithstand- ing, and will win many a race; but they had to succumb to the best horses in the North, which was their misfortune to meet before they were ben acclimated. Count D'Orsay will ve in the lersey Derby with Springbok, Tom Bowling ana the other good ones, and we predict that ie will be in the front ranks. Crockiord ts a fine, large, racing-like colt, and resembies his sire very much. Mr. Belmont’s winnings of the Weatuerby Stakes amounted to $4,700. The second race was a free handicap sweep- stakes of $25 each, with $500 added. Six accepted the weights. ihese were D. J. Bannatyne’s chestnut horse Stockwood, five years old, carrying 100 Ibs.; Buckley & Tully's bay colt Buckden, four ears old, 100 Ibs; A. Beimont’s chestnut filly foodbine, four years old, 100 Ibs.; Kk. W, Waiden’s grey colt Brennus, four years old, 98 lbs.; M. A. Littell’s bay colt by Jerome Edgar, three years oid, 73 lbs., and Carroll & Coar'’s bay filly The Nurse, three years old, 75 Ips. Woodbine was a great favorite, seiling in the pool for more than the others put together, while the winner of the race, Stockwood, had ten to one against him. Buckden was second and Woodbine third, the third event was a selling race for a purse, with the usual allowances, which are detailed be: iow; one mile. Five horses started. These were Joseph Donahue’s chestnut horse Sanford, Hunter & Traver’s chestnut filly Quits, J. Boughrum’s black gelding Gerald, R. W. Walven's chestnut colt Liverpool and Mr. Littell's bay mare Winesap. Sanford won @ good race, Quits second, Gerald third, Quits was the favorite in the betting, San- ford second choice. The fourth race was a dash of a mile and a quar- ter, with about the same rules to govern as were in the previous race. This had seven starters, com- ya D. D. Withers’ chestnut horse Vespuciu: Rice f Me ormack’s buy filly Bessie Lee, D, Buc ley’s chestnut mare Chickubtddy, R. W. Walden’s gray gelding Brennus, J. Donahue's chestnut horse San{urd, W, R. Babcock’s bay horse Conductor, and J. Boughrum’s black gelding Gerald. CGhickabiddy and Besste Lee aiternated as favorites in the pools, while the winner of the race, Vespucius, sold in the field for a mere song. The old horse won a capital race, Bessie Lee pusting him to the last, Chickabiddy was third. The filth and last race of the meeting was a steeple chase, which was @ muserabie affair throughout, Lochiel and Village Blacksmith both stopping in the race and losing their backers’ ol in the most cowardly manner. Lochiel bolted the track and Village Blacksmith refused the water leap and could not be persuaded over it. Dufty won ate George West getting second money. Sorrel ran away before the race began, and, falling over a hurdie, neariy killed his rider. Then inthe race Victor threw his jockey, who fortunately escaped, andy mounting again, rode the race out. The following are the details of the racing as it progressed :— The First Kace.

Crocktord, D’Orsay and Strachino came up the stretch to the furlong pole side and side, but there D’Orsay showed his head in front. He did not, however, make his final dash until he had crossed the path to the Club House. He was then given his head and he bieeciataly jumped to the front, and came in a winner by a length, Strachino second, hall a length ahead of Crockford, who was a length in front of Silk Stocking, the latter two lengths ahead of Fellowcraft. ‘Time, 3:11. ‘The Second Race.

Clark. the, rider of Sorret Dan, gave the hoses ene? gallop to warm him up for the work before bim. started around the upper torn, but before he reached the quarter it was evident that the horse ve running away and that Clark lad no control of him. He came rushing around to the blu, where there was a hurdle across the track. Clark took a strong om on Sor- rel Dan, and, lilting his hea the horse went over the burdie, but not without hitting it and knocking it nearly over. Sorrel Dan then dashed around the hill and on to the lower turn, and it was not until he reached the three-quarter pole that he stopped. Clark then turned him around and waiked him back tonear the hurdie under the bluif, when the rider avain started him into a gallop, and, bringing the horse to the bur- dle, he jumped over it again, but in going over struck it heavily and knocked a portion it down. Sorrel Dan once more showed symptoms of runnin away, and = Clark sent him down ie fractional track where there was another hurdie; but as he ap- roached this at full speed Clark could not get the orse’s head up, and he dashed into the hurdle, atriking it hard and Sate heavily to the ground, throwing Clark over hia head and falling on him, Clark was insensible when taken up, and, altuough it was announced to the multitude that he was not seriously ‘injured, we noticed that he had to be carried off the grounds by eight policemen. The horse was then withdrawn and the others were brought up in line for the race. Lochiel took the lead at the dropping of the flag. closely followed by Duffy, George West third, Village Blacksmith fourth, Victor filth, The first jump was over a hurdie on the fractional track, over which Lochiel was first, Dutty second, George West third, Village Blacksmith fourth, Victor fifth, They then ran to the foot oi the frac- tional track, and there jumped a fence mto the north field, Lochiel showing the way, closely tol- lowed by uity, Victor third, Blacksmith fourth, West fifth, They circled around the field and then jumnes a brush fence, Lochiel leading, Duffy second, jacksmith third, Victor fourth, West fifth. Then they jumped a fence, and, coming out of the fleld, juniped a hurdle dt the foot of the bluff, Locniel and Duffy leaping over the hurdle together, a short distance in iront of Blacksmith, and they then passed into the south field. The Blacksmith bolted as he came to the opening into the field, and ran around the hilion the regular track. ‘This threw the Blacksmith's chances out of Winning the race, for by the time he was induced to go into the fleld the other horses were a quarter of a mile ahead of him. Lochiel led in the south fleld, over the “brush fence, then over the two ditches and rails, and again over the brush fence near the furlong post, ana game ranning up for the water jump in front of the Grand Stand and Club House. Lochiel led two lengths over the water, Duffy second, Victor third, fifty yards be- hind; West fourth, and Blacksmith nearly a quar- ter of a mile further off. All these horses jumped the water elegantly and safely; but when Black. smith came he refused to go over, and, after re- peated unsuccessful attempts to get him across the water, he had to be taken to the stable. -Lochfl led over the hurdle be- tween the two tracks one length, went north and crossed the regular track into the road leading to the picnic grounds, Dufy pressing, him at every leap, Victor third and West lourth. Lochicl and Dutly went over the ditch and rails safely, but when Victor came there he stum- bled and threw his rider and ran a short distance up the hill, He was afterwards Caught, taken ; back to where the rider was thrown, the latter mounting agaiv and following on in the race. When Loch) and Duffy reached the stone | wall on the top of the hill they jumped it together, but in coming down the rock Lochiel gained three lengths, As he came down to the opening in the fence to the regular track Lochie! bolted and galloped away around the upper turn toward the stables, and {f was a long time be: he could be stopped and returned to the plac where he bolted. There was then the two most formidable of the horses out of the race. DuQy did not watt for those behind him, but went on with bis work as if still racing with Lochiel. He jumped the stone wail in the north field, the hurdie at the bluff, the brush fence in the south field, the two ditches and rafis pear the lower turn, and then went out on the reguiar track and came up the homestretch, and jumped the hurdle at the foot or the Grand Stand and galloped home a winner of the race amid the shouts of his backers. George West jumped successfully over all the hurdles, fences and walls, and followed Duffy home, winning the second money. A lon, le afterwards Victor arrived, having made all t! jumps, and when the eater portion of the spectators nad turned their faces homeward, and were jorcing their way out of the Grand Stand, Locnie) came in and passed under the wire. And thusenied the Spring meeting of the Ameri- can Jockey Club. A more successful meeting has never been held at Jerome Park. The horses will now move to Monmouth Park and get in readiness for the racing, which com- mences there on the Fourth of July, when the gates will be thrown open free to all. HORSE TROTTING IN INDIANA. NEW ALBANY, June 21, 13° cently organized in this city, will be held, com- mencing on the 26th inst. ‘The directors, in addi- tion to @ purse for the best time made on the track, offer liberal premiams to exhibitors of blooded stock. The t is exactly one mile in length. Good stabling i provided on the ground, and the Association is determined to make it the best course in the West. The owners of several noted Western horses have announced that they will be present with their horses, THE JUNIATA. | PEER ON The Rescuing Vessel Ready for Sea. more promptness .than the United States steamer Juniata, From the moment that orders were received to get her in readiness for the humane object projected by the government the greatest the exception of two guns all the armament was removed, and the rapidity with which she was coaled ans provisioned tor the cruise is worthy of note, taking into account the circumlocutory ; temperament of the Navy Yard officers. Despite the Cranining of the coal bunkers and the crowding of the deck with bags the Juniata looks as trim as possible under the circumstances. Mr. Moses Hd. Grinvell visited the vessel on Friday after- ngon and presented Commander Braine with some admirable charts of the region where the Juniata is bound. They are considered very serviceable, } Some of them having been used to advantage by well kuown and distinguished explorers. The pilot of the Juniata is Captain James M. Buddington, the uncle of the present commander of the Polaris, Stephen O, Buddington. It was stated some time ago, in connection with the rescue of Captain Tyson and party, that Captain Stephen 0. Budding- ton was the person who rescued the abandoned British ship Resolute, in Davis Straits, sent out in search of the remains of Sir John Franklin, the fact being that the hero of the occasion was the present pilot of the Juniata, who, then on a whaling voyage, convoyed her to New London. Yesterday afternoon Vommander Braine proceeded with the Juniata to the usual anchorage off the Battery, and will probably leave for his destination to-morrow morning. A TEN DOLLAR OREDIT MOBILIERISM IN NEWARK, The Board of Excise in Newark has a ten dollar Crédit Mobilier case, and is trying to emulate Con- gress in its treatment thereof. . It is alleged, and supported by several aMdavits, that a member of the Board, James E. Collerd, demanded $10 from a saloon keeper named John Madden to “put through” a license for him. An investigation was had and affidavits to this effect submitted. Collerd ‘was present and admitted the fact of havingagreed to “put through” the license, but denies having re- ceived the money. His friends claimed that he would have done perfectly right even in accepting the money. Other members stoutly maintained that by his own confession he was guilty 01 a crimi- naloffence. But so far the Board has done nothing definitely im the matter. THE HOBOKEN FERRYBOATS. The ferry company have at length commenced running four boats during the busy hours of the day between Barclay street and Hoboken. A boat leaves each side regularly every ten minutes. The want of this improvement has been felt fora long time. A still turther improvement ts sadly needed in the conduct of one of the deck hands. He was employed about six months ago, and bas rendered himself obnoxions to some passengers by personally insulting them. The travelling public care little to resent it, but it is, nevertheless, dis- agreeable to be treated roughly by such a person. AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE, Michael Lynch jumped into the river, off the dock, foot of Hudson avenue, Brooklyn, yesterday after- noon. His object was to terminate his existence. The attempt was frustrated by the opportune ar- rival of Patrolman Bedell, who fished Lynch out and conveyed him to his home, No, 25 Little streev.

REGATTA OF THE NEW YORK CANOE CLUB sestecmesile The Chip and “Crew” Win by Three Minutes and a Half. rlomenesiiniitian Three Canoes Capsise—Remarks on Canoe Sailing in General. The June regatta of the New York Canoe Cinb was sailed yesterday afternoon in Bayoune Bay, and the prize, a silver cup valued at about $100, was won by the canoe Chip (J. E.

During the present sea son it is understood that several prominent mem- bers of the Canoe Club will Make voyares of greater or less length upon our American rivers, ARE CANOKS ADAPTED FOR SAILING ? Canoeing owes all ite prestige to the voyages of a London barrister, who, leaving the dingy corridors of the Temple, found genuine amusement and com- fort on the untravelled water courses of Kurope and Palestine, The present regatta seemed only to demonstrate that the sport had been im this in- stance taken out of ite legitimate and natural channel; for, out of seven boats started only three weathered the fresh Summer breeze of yesterda It is very true that ifone wants to calculate to a | certainty on a capsize, the canoe under about seventy-five square feet of canvas is probably the most fashionable method; but for ‘safety, speed and comfort” such a craft is not to be recommended by any one who has ever seen or sailed a canoe, They are too narrow to be com- fortable and too smali to admit of one's being | sociable. While as safe as u whale-boat under paddle, they become exceedingly treacherous under sail, Salling a canoe is to the occupant of the eratt | adelighttully “haphazard amusement, but it is | very doubtful whether it is an interesting sight to any one else to see more than half the boats swamp before the race is half completed, There is A FEELING OF UNSATISFIED EXPECTATIONS which arises in the mind of every witness of such a | race, It certainly is a very imposing sight to sev a gracefnl canoe, with all its fine lines and nished | deck, gradually settle over on its side, and finally have its delicately ‘“serssored”’ sails in the water, but it is doubtfil whether such an exhibition has half the charm or awakens half ag much life and enthusiasm as the catastrophes which often came to the sailors of yawis and cat-boats, by which they capsized like a flash of lightning, tossing men and ballast first into the air and then into the water. Tuere was something “stirring” about such a scene, and none knew this fact hetter than the boating men at Bayonne, There was JUST ENOUGH DANGER in such an adventure to make ff relished alike by | the participants and the spectators. ‘To the mind, then, of every trae canoelst, the man who yester- day deserved the most credit as being a thorough lover of his sport was the “crew” who, after the capsize of his craft, not only declined assistance, ,| but “righted” his boat and completed the course, ‘That was canoeing! For he who ventures into a canoe with the amount of canvas which is now spread should be, if anything, more experienced in , the method of treating emergencies than in the | manner of controlling his craft, THE TRUE SPHERE OF CANOFING. The canoe is a beautiful craft—hundsome as a is a mooted question whether it was ever designed for a sail “against time” or a scrub race through the rough waters of large bays. It is not with a view to op- posing new features in boating that the present system Of canoe regattas is thus reierred to; but it as confidently believed that the true enjoyment ofthe sport both in the development of muscle and the securing of that mental relaxation, which agreeable manual exercise 1s supposed to bring, that a more general use of the paddle is urged, Mr. MacGregor, the father of the sport, as well | as Mr. Baden Powell, his successor, found great pleasure in their voyages in the Rob Roy and Nautilus, very little portions of which were made under sail. Paddling is much less tiresome than rowing, for the canoeist sits upright and works his arms only. If canoeing is to be @ sport which is | even in a small degree to supplant rowing it must possess conditions admitting of a GOOD MUSCULAR DEVELOPMENT. What is wanted in a canoe race is variety. The English canoeists recognize this. Their regattas | consist of a mile under sail, a drag or carry over on Jand of perhaps one hundred feet, and ‘a mile under paddle, in which the cancels myst cpsne and right his craft, ‘This 16 something like what is expected of that amphibious creature who calls hipasel, f ganoeist. But a contest in which half craft unromantically tip over 1s not for the enthusiastic class of sportsmen. If sailing is wanted, cither give more beam, less canvas or deeper keel to thecanoe. As every one knows who has passed a day in @ canoe, the craft 1s only comfortable when paddling or sailing free. It is not pleasant to sleep in or greatly enioyable to sit far out on the deck when the canoe ts on ner beam. It is very pleasant to talk of “crow a canoe in a gale of wind,” but those who have tried this know that it would be very poor sport were there not a party of admiring friends looking on at the time, If one 1s in search of a salt water bath, why go to the trouble of taking a canoe? THE CANOE REGATTA. The day was all that could have been desired. The steamer Thomas Kiley, Captain Sullivan, which had been engaged by the Regatta Committee to conduct the guests over the course, left tne Whitehall wharf at one o'clock, and, after calling at Quarantine landing, took up a: position in Bayonne Bay, otf the Idle Hour Hotel. ‘The little steamer Gertrude, which was occupied by the Re- gatta Committee, judges and newspaper men, pre- ceded the thomas Kiley, and speedily iaid out the course and arranged the, markboats. The ste,mar devoted to the guests was crowded Wiiq Kn un- usually gay and happy party of ladies Gnd gentie- men, and all on board seecaed to enjoy the in- vigorating breezes of ‘ue pay and the bright sun- light on the watet,. Several prominent yachtsmen were amon, thé party, and seemed to enjoy the mish.ps Of the luckless canoeists very much. Jolly fellows these yachtsmen. Shortly after turning the Sardine capsized and her crew was seen struggling in the water. Assist- ance Was promptly at hand but just as promptly declined. This was the third mishap, and the Chip was now leading the fleld. The Titania had secured second place with the Gertrude and Rover tollow- ing. The return to the Idle Hour whart and the start upon the return course found the boats in the same relative position. The Titanta did re- markabiy well under a small set of sails, and, although unequal to the task of overhauling the Chip, she showed up well on her weather quarter, The run on the long stretch from the second stakeboat to the third was sail- ing iree and the canoeg literally flew through the water. The Gertrud withdrew from the race, THE ENTRIES. There were thirteen entries for the race, but when the signal for preparation was sounded the Chip, Gretehen, Gertrude, Titania, Rover, Sardine and Walrus were the only ones to put in an ap- pearance. These were as iollows :— Length. Name. Fs Crew. Gertrude.......ccceeecdt N. L. Roosevelt. Walrus. és 18.10.

The course was formed by stationing three boats at the point of an acute angied triangle, the two longest sides of which were about one mile in length. The course was to be sailed over twice, equalling more than four miles for the entire race. The prize was a silver cup, presented Dy Comnine aore Schuyler, valued at about one hundred lars, and to be awarded to the first boat according to the rules of time allowance adopted by the Clab. The signal for preparation was sounded m the judge’s boat about five minutes of four o'clock. ‘The start was to be a@ flying one, and the signal for the start was sounded at one minute past tour o'clock.

Although there wos no race on the tapts, it was tacitly understood that the schooner yachts would take a sail over the New Yor® Yacht Club course and test their respective merits, provided there was a fair CAPPUL OF WIND.

Some of the yachtsmen got off at Quarantiue and the others took the worth of their money by leaving the ferryboat at the third landing.

The Rambler and Idler went on out towards the Lightstip, and the Alarm, Madeleine and Magic, after turning the Soathwest Spit, trimmed down and beat back towards home. There was a pleas- ant working breeze, and the sail back was highly enjoyable, The Madeleine came back and an- chored off Hoboken, and the ic brought too of Another race of a similar kind is ad posed for next Saturday, and it will doubtless prove a very interesting eventif the yachts succeed in getting olf together.
