First Day of the Second Sum- mer Meeting. ‘A Pair Attendance and Brilliant Sport. ‘Wild Scene on the Course on the Defeat of Tom Bowling. FOUR VERY EXCITING RACES Duffy Won the Hurdle Race; Artist, the Mile Dash; Lizzy Lucas, the Ocean Hotel Stakes, and Fadla- deen, the Mile Heats. ‘The firet day of the second Summer meeting at ‘Monmouth Park was inaugurated yesterday, and ‘an some respects was 4 brilliant success, The day as clear and beantifal, and the voyage down the Bay was ample compensation to the business man Tor the loss of his time, to say nothing of the treat tbat awaited him when he reached the park. The Jessie Hoyt, which left at ‘ten minutes to ten, was crowded down ‘to the water’s edge with passengers, votaries of (pleasure and votaries of sport. The Plymouth ‘Rock, which left at half past ten, also carried a ‘goodly number of people, a large portion of whom remained at Long Branch without going to the aces. Notwithstanding the attraction of the race for the Ocean Staxes, for which Tom Bowling was entered, the attendance upon the course was fair, the grand stand being well filled. ‘There was a thin sprinkling of ladies, attired in ‘tasteful and some of them in bewitching costumes; but there was nothing to compere with the con- course of ladies who have attended on previous @ays. The crowd upon the course was a varied whe. There were the projessional betting man, ‘whose sole business in life is to flit from race meet- ing to race meeting; the New York politician, glittering with diamonds and smelling strongly of gin; the sporting man, who loved sport for its own sake; the natty little jockeys, Jean-bodied and bandy-legged; and the crowds of diminutive stable followers, who swarmed upon the track, like aparrows in a city park. ‘There was a briek trade done in gingerbread and Jemonade, The demand for lemonade wae appro- ‘priate enough, but why gingerbread on a raging hot day it is impossible to say, The well-known voice of Doc. Uuderwood was the first sound that \greeted the visitors on their arrival at the course. ‘He was sel'ing pools on the hurdle race, and. a large crowd was collected around him, eagerly buying. The Paris mutual pools were also well patronized, and it was ‘evident thet, if the attendance was small, the amount ‘of money on the grounds was large ‘There was a good representation of the beau monde at the club house, the balconies of ‘whieh were gay with the bright dresees of the Jadies, There was noticeable absence at Mon- mouth Park of. the elements which go to make up the characteristic: English race course, There were no mountebanke, ni ble men, no fortune tellers, no ladie: horsebacs%@ll Was methodical way. A\ the same time it might be well to adopt aJeW ‘of the customs of our cousins over the water, they have done much to popularize the sport wherever they have been introduced. A noticeable feature on the course yesterday was the figure of Bobby Swim, the jockey of Tom Bow- ling. By an almost total abstinence from food for the past four or five days he had reduced his body £0 the proportions ofa skeleton, and as he walked sround the course he looked so limber and limp that you would imagine he was about to drop into jieces. There was coheston in him, ho’ a ig subsequent performance showed, but all through the morning he seemed anxious about (the result of the great race of the day. Jockeys, a8 ® rule, are not the most hand- gome and attractive of men, but they manage to secure more attention from the ladies than the most fastidious gentlemen, even the little @arkeys evoking an enthusiasm that under other ‘eircumstances would seem strange and unac- countable. As they went about the course yester- ay with their spare joints, poor little faces and hobbling gait, they were eagerly watched, particu- Jarly by the betting men, who knew that the fate of their purses depended in a great measure upon their efforts. . There was avety unwelcome innovation intro- fiuced upon the gtand stand in the shape of a very brassy band, which was sent fromthe Ocean Hotel. The performers, some dozen in number, ranged ‘themseives im seats, and before the hall of the Fret knew they were present they broke into eianpchely and discordant music. Some of the ore setidtive persons te their ears, and there {was a'géneral howl of indignation all around, but, ‘tne wanted musicians went on in spite ol the scowling glances that were cast upon thet. “Music has charms,” but the band had no charms yester- May, for its audience did not wish to be played to death without knowing the reason why. A most Rudicrous circumstance happened when the first Yace was about to be run. As the horses came up to the starting point the band struck up a lively tune. e horses, unaccustomed to such a delicate mark ‘of attention, became restive and ran in all direc- ‘ions. Mr. Bruce angrily: waved his hand at the Tiormers to stop, but they mistook his gesture jor a mark ‘of approval, and the music became louder. A hundred voices then called upon them to stop and they at length complied, looking greatly astonished at the order. The great event of the day was the race for the Ocean Stakes; but as Tom Bowling was considered sure to win, there ‘Was not much excitement tn re- ard to the result. A great many peopie thought it was no use to bet on this race, the odds being go great that the amount of money to be won ‘would be very small. When the start was about to ‘be made, however, the horse showed signs of ob- atinacy, and a number of cunning persons thought ‘they would put their money on the field against ‘om, which they had no difficulty in doing, besides securing fabulous odds. It was amusing to see ‘the manner in which the horse was induced to rt. Two tall darkies stood at ad and backed and tugged at him nti] he began to show symptoms of distress. It jooked at one time as if he would not get started all, but he was finally brought to the sticking it and he shot off like an arrow. ‘Look how is running,” shouted a hundred voices, “ne has everything his own way.” As he d the judges’ stand, in aavance of all the others, there fas great cheering. From the qnarter stretch re was great cheering, although the other jorses Were making @ gallant fight. Round the @ourse they went a second ie, necks were ee and a thousand eyes followed them, and ‘when the last haif mile was entered upon, and the horses were seen coming in in a cluster, the excitement became intense. It id not for R moment enter any one’s mind that ‘om Bowling was going to lose. ‘‘Bah,”? id the Knowing ones, “Bobby is only holding him in; wait till you see with what a dash he will come in the winner; but when the horses came to the jomestretch with the gray filly leading the san- to lose confidence and to ask, does this mean?” Both jockeys are Ww using whip and spur.

When the face was over, There was & great revulsion of ae the unfortunate horse, pom! entery name given to him was “sucker, tl ” and the men who had staked their joney upon him were wild with 1 and misery. Re persons who were fortunate orongh to bet it the favorite were delirious with joy, and e winning jockey was overwhelmed with praises ind congratulations, The faces of many upon the jatiorm were blue with mortification; but the rae had a few friends left who said if he had yn properly used before the start he would have ron easily. LMowever this may be, the young filly \ddenly ran into high estimation, and its wher was the much-sought-for man of the our. It was agreed on ali hands that the deteat the horse was the greatest upset of the parsing » ‘The last race was watched with langui Interest. The favorite won; but, warned by the vious encounter, the risks taken were not so ae nothing was considered sure after the of a horse which was considered invincible, ‘the sport had concluded most of the people those who lost their money, returned to the city in a nappy frame of mind, JOW Will be fownd the details of the racing. THE RACING. ‘There was @ very fine attendance at Monmouth Park yesterday. The track was good, and the ‘weather most suitable for fast time and fine racing. Four events were on the card, the first being a hurdle race, the second a dash of a mile, the third the Ocean Hotel stakes, a mile and three-quarters, and the fourth mile heats. The hurdle race was two miles, over eight hur- les, and had for starters D. J. Bannatyne’s brown gelding Duffy, by Hunter's Lexington, dam Olio, aged, 161 Ibs. ; J. G. K. Lawrence’s bay colt Shylock, by Lexington, dam Edith, 4 years old, 148 Ibs. ; Jo. Donahue’s brown horse Biind Tom, by Star Davis, dam Margravine, aged, 154 lbs; H, P. Mc- Grath’s black mere Lucy Jackson, by En- Gorser, dam Lucy Fowler, aged. 161 Ibs, and W. E. Peet’s bay mare, by Prophet, dam Jessie Dixon, 4 years old, 145 lbs. Dufty was the favorite, Blind Tom the second choice, the others selling for very low prices in the pools. Duffy won an easy race, Shylock second, Bund Tom third. Shylock ran much better yesterday than he did in bis hurdle race last week, and with practice May become @ “cross-country” horse of first qual- ity, having good breeding and youth in his favor. ‘The second race was a dash of a mile for all ages for a puree, for which there were five three-year- vlds entered. These were H. P. MoGrath’s brown colt Artist, by Asteroid, dam Fairy; J. W. Wel- don’s chestnut filly Quite, by Eclipse, dam Colum- bia; J. F. Wilson & Co.'s chestnut colt Mart Jordan (late John Bou'ger), by Revolver, dam Mattie C.; Thomas Jones’ bay filly, by Beacon, dam Maiden, and J. W. Hunt Reynolds’ chestnut filly Buchu, by Planet, dam Lavender, Artist was the favorite over the field. He won a very easy race in very fair time. The third race was the Ocean House Stakes for three-year-olda, a dash of a mile and three-quarters, which closed with thirty-eight nominations. When the bell rang for the horses to appear, four only made their appearance. These were T. H. Doswell’s gray filly Lizzy Lneas, by Australian, dam Eagiess; H. P. McGrath’s bay colt Tom Bowling, by Lexing- ton, dam Lucy Fowler; 8. D. Bruce’s chestnut colt Galway, by meord, dam Mandina, and D. D, ‘Withers’ imported colt, The Minstrel, by Marsy: dam Marchioness. Tom Bowling was the rorite in the race at about 3 to 1 over the field, his defeat of such colts as Springbok and Count d’Orsay on the Fourth of even greater odds in his favor. To account fur Nis defeat yesterday, we think, may be easily done in a few words. He showed temper as he came on the track in company with old Lucy Jackson; but, when mounted by Bob and galloped 4 mile, it was thought by old Ansel that ne had be- come calm and would act right. But as soon as he approached ‘the horses at the Sraring. pie be become violent, and immediately wheeled and ran towards tne club house and Swim co.ld not con- trol him in the least, after a fight of several minutes. Blinders were then resorted to and put on him, but still Tom. Cay big Marshall and another poweriul man.

Tom Bow! €, was licked before he started. Lizzy Lucas beat him in the race, yet it must not be forgotten that Tom Bowling beat the best three-year-olds in the country on the Fourth of July. Hemay become a sulky brute and be ofno farther use to his owner aa race fact that he is the best formed and ie king three-year-old colt in the country ig beyond contradiction. He will probably ran with Lucas and the others entered for ws bmn Stakes on Saturday next, when, if he is betore the dram taps, we think he some Of those who were foremost 11 mi will ronowG hig “@ sucker’ yesterday.

Going around the upper turn The Minstre! made one more attack on Tom Bowling for the lead and reached his hips in front of the club house. Ac the quarter led a length and it seemed to every looker-on that he was playing with his fol- lowers, At the quarter pole he led one length, The Minstrel second, half a length in front of Galway, who wea one length ahead of Lizzy Lucas.

The colt and the filly raced in this way to the furlong pole, when, to the great amaze- ment of the crowd, Bob Swim was seen to use his whip on Tom Bowling. Tnat told the story. ‘The coit responded teebly, and then Lizzy Lucas’ rider also used his whip. In a moment afterwards it was discovered that the great favorite, Tom Bowling, was in difficulties, and another second or so re- vealed the fact tha! was beaten. Lizzy Lucas came in a winner by a length, to the utmost con- sternation of the backers of the big col and. in fact, of every one who had hear of Tom Bowling, Such @ shout of exulta- tion was never before given for the defeat of @ favorite as was heard on this occasion.

Excitement in the English Church Con. cerming the High Church Tendencie: The last Englisn mall brings us particulars of a remarkable meeting held in Exeter Hall concern" ing the High Churohism of the English establish- ment, from which we take the following :— A numeronsly attended meeting was held last evening in Exeter Hall, London, for the purpose of protesting against the introduction of the confes- sionalinto the Church of England. The meeting was called by the Church Association. The clergy was well represented, and ladies attended in ex- opeeuy large numvers. Among the various celebrities who were unable to be present, but had written to the Secretury deprecating the system of aoricular confession in the Church o! England, Were the Marquis of Devonshire, the Rev. Lord Dynevor, Admiral Sullivan, the Dean of Carlisle, Canon Ryle and Canon Miller. The Ear) of Shattesbury, who presided, addressed the meeting as friends of the reformation in the Chureh of England and friends of further reforma- tion in the same Church. This sentiment was re- ceived with prolonged cheering, which increased when His Lordshij fen eke the attempt to intro- duce the confessional into the Church of Englana a8 a foul and wicked attack upon the integrity and pony oi the Church, and assured the meeting that it was time they should express their determination to stand to the last. There was no endeavor, he sald, that they would not make, no labor they would not endure, under God’s grace, rather than see the Church of England brought down to the very depths of pollution. (Loud cheers.) A petl- tion had been presented by 400—an ominous num- ber—the number that sat at Jezebel’s table—(great cheering)—clergymen of the Church of England to the Upper House of Convocation, and their prayer ‘Was that, in view of the widespread and increas. ing use of sacramental confession, the venerable house might consider the advisability of providing for the education, selection and licensing oi dul. \ualitied coniessors.

But, had it been a petition tor the abolivion otentecopecy or for the removal of thelr Lordships from the House of Lords that nad been presented to the Upper House of Convocation, they would not have pondered for a moment in their decision. (Cheefs.) But this petition was received in a Manner inconceivably hateful. It was discussed and deliberated updn.

His Lordship then pro- ceeged to describ ie system of sacramental con: jon, intly interrupted by expres- sions of indignation, and the mention of pe Fpsey's name called down loud hooting md ssing.

He asked who was Bis for tne aa he tt tuis system in the Church of England? (Cries of “The Bishops,” and cheers.) If the Church ban- ished her principles, he said, let her go to the wind, and all the Bishops with her. (Immense rte” bir MAS CHAMBERS, M.P., proposed “That this meeting views with sorrow and indignation the petition lately presented to the Upper Mouse of Convocation by 483 clergymen of the Church of England, regarane. such petition pot only as a defiant proclamation of false and Romish doctrine and practice, but also as @ most reprehensible attempt to undo the great work of pail pated Reformation and to bring the Church of England into reunion with the Church of Rome.” In protest- ing against the innovation Sir Thomas said that ail false religions put a priest between man and his Maker. He impressed upon the meeting the danger in which the Church at present was placed—dan- er resulting from the encroachments of the Roman Catholic Church more than from the motions pro- poese a the House of Commons by Mr. Miall. (Cheers, The Rev. ©. DALLas Marston, in seconding the motion, had occasion frequently to refer to the bish- ops, and was often interrupted with cries of “Hiss the bishops.” He said a friend of his had been ina church in London where the Bishop of Lon- don bad recently held a confirmation, a light burning in the chancel, a crucifix hanging at the side of the pulpit, and an annonncement that confes- sions were heard altertheservices. (Indignation.) He said it was in the power of the bishops to put a stop to this state of things by a stroke of the pen, by withdrawing the license ofevery curate whose name appeared signed at the foot of that petition ; and thus 260 mischievous men might be shenced. He expressed his opinion that this must become a hustings question, and they must vote for men i to protect their inheritance bought by ood. The motion was then carried. The Rev. Joseph Burdsley moved, Mr. O’Malley, Q C., and Mr. Newdegate, M. P., supported, and it was carried, “That the open attempts now being made to introduce and legalize the Romish doc- trine and practice of sacramental and auricular confession and sacerdetal absolution constitute a serlous danger to the Church and State of Eng- land, and this meeting pledges itself to resist every effort to bring into our Protestant Church prac- tices which are contrary to God’s Word, unauthor- ized by the formularies of the Church and fatal to od peace gnd morality of individusis and fami- ea." The following resolution was also agreed to:— “That this meeting expresses ite strong conviction that it Is the duty of the archbishops and bishops to take tm mediate and active measures for repressing the errone- ous practices complained of, and trusts that there will be such an expression of opinion throughout the country as will evidence the deterinination of laity no longer to endure practices which imperil the very existence of our Protestant Reform Church. as well as our civil and relig- ious liberties, and this meeting resolves that copies of these resolutions be sent to the Sishops e THE OFFAL WAR IN BROOKLYN.

The game between the Mutuals and Bostons took Place at the Union grounds yesterday in the pres_ ence of about two thousand people, and proved a most surprising affair to most base ball experts. The Mutuals completely wiped out the Habites by a score of 13 to 4, The usual concomitants of the base ball ground were on hand, the pool sellers, the lager beer saloons and the chowders. Strangely Suongke the Bostonians sold high in the pools, and even after their first disaster held a high place in the affections of the betting men. The pools at half-past three o'clock soid $60 to $25 in favor of the oat ng and $27 to $25 that they would win in two faninga. - 5 The Mutuals won the choice, ana sent the Bos- tons to the bat, who made one run, and white- washed their adversaries, In the second inning the Bostons got in two runs, and the Mutuals in re- turn made seven, which was too much headway for the Hub, and they were unable to cover the breach throughout the game. The batting on the eh the Mutuals was very excellent, and the jostons failed to hit Mathews for more than five bases. The result was the most disastrous defeat the Bostons have sustained this season, besides being an astonisher for the sporting men, Base Ball Notes.

THE RAILROAD LEASE CASE IN NEW JERSEY, A Peculiar Opinion Reversing the For- mer Decision. TRENTON, N. J., July 15, 1973. The Court to-day delivered an opinion in the celebrated railroad lease case. The opinion waa read by Judge Van Syckle. It took the ground that the act of 1870 did not authorize the lease and that the directors or stockholders had no right to make it, The final decision is rather peculiar, and in these words:—The decree of the Chancellor is re- versed, with costs, in this Court and the Court below, berets ase ke with a oer that the [njunction issue, unless it appegrs by such pro- edie a is ay Properly be taken in the Court be- low that some essential change, since the order now reviewed has taken piace In the status of the case, by reason of which the equities are changed or a different mode of relief has become necessary, Jadge Dalrymple concurred, except in reference to the act of 1870, and that, he thonght, was iD- constitutional, cpt hee ebhict Spells Beasley dissented f and read an opinion. ich he declared the act of 1870 consti- tutional and of suMcient force to authorize the lease, The lease had been made, and therefore the order of reversal was worth nothing whatever, It could alter nothing, and was not sought in good faith by the applicants, but merely to get abstract opinions of law.

A Serious Condition of Affairs. More Money Wanted—Four German and Six English Steamers in Opposition—Serious Difficulties To Be Met—The Bursting of the Bubble—What the People Say of It. ‘Yhe warm weather has not been effective enough in its demoralizing infuences to prevent intense excitement among & large class of operators in Pa cific Mail, The tidings which came to their ears to-day made many @ face blank With dismay, and are doubtless calculated to produce serious changes in the commercial operations of that company in the future. Figures do not lie, and it is figures for which business men interested in this company have for along time sought, They are furnished in tho following résumé, which comes from a source deserving of the utmost confidence. Before stating the Jacts eonnected with the matter it may be well enough to observe that the President of the Pacific Mail himself regards the condition of his company with ANY OTHER THAN A SATISFACTORY EYE. From the beginning it has been a struggle with him asa business man to make the most of the mountain with the care of which he has been burdened. But Mahomet would not come to the Mountain, and the facts seem to indicate that the mountain has at last come to Mahomet, covered all over with the evidence of a volcanic eruption that may occur at any moment least expected. Firat, the company ts obliged to experience the tremendous and almost unconquerable gntagonism of a combined Bnglish and German opposition on the other side of the Isthmus. Four German screw steamers are now running regularly on the same line with the Pacific Mail. In this company are Chinese and English capitalists. There are, be- sides, three English chartered steamers ALL SUPERIOR, for the purpose of burden, to thqse of the Pacific Mail. Three more are on the stocks, and will be ready for launching before Spring, when the tea trade commences. Each of these steamers, Ger- man and English, carry their freights, it 1s said, for twé-thirds leas than the prices which expense com- pels the Pacific Mail steamers to charge. The con- sequence is that the latter are running largely behind their outlay and are ACCUMULATING DEBT RVERY HOUR, as it is stated by an oid captain of the line that the cost of a round trip to and from San Francisco on @ sidewhoel steamer is $90,000. Therefore, there has been @ loss, for # period so long past that the stockholders are not tamiliar with it ,of any thousand dollars, and it has reached @ point whic! it would seem has compelled the officials of the company to take some action. Hence VHE MEKTING YESTERDAY, when the subject was fully discussed with the fol- lowing results :— ‘The President was instructed to come to terms with the Union Pacific Railroad, to dispose of the steamer Montana for $60,000, and to sell several of the steamers now bate 4 between New York and Aspinwall, which will probably bring $30,000 each. THE DEBTS OF THE COMPANY which call for immediate payment are as follows :—$120,000 for city taxes, $60,000 On en; ow being constructed ' in Scotland an $650,000 to Mr. Roche for steamers building. The company will aiso require about $€00.000 to pnt several of its steamers in a #ea- worthy condition, vis, :—$30,000 for the Constitu- tion, $108,000 for the Nebraaka, $6v,000 for the Da- kota, $30,000 for the Moses Taylor, $30,000 for the Henry Chauncey and the remainder for otner steamers now running. To put the entire fleet of eight steamers in running order it will require, ac- cording to the estimaies, about $1,900,000. . THR GLOOMY CONDITION of the Pacific Mail Company's affairs is the subject of much comment amoug the inner circles of Wall street operators. But for the lateness of the hour and the terrible heat, which keeps almost every speculator out of the city, it would undouptedly ere this have been redected by the quotations on the Stock Ex qianne. Whether it ia the indolence naturally prodaced by the dog-days or masterly inactivity on the part of the Wall atreet giants, each seems to be waiting tor the other to eet the ball rolling in a downward direction. The rotten con- dition of the company is generally known, though the foregoing particulars may not be. If tt# col- lapse would only injure a few individual speculat- ors the misfortune would not be a very serious one; but, when it is considered that it would bring ruin to many tamilies—to wives and daughters hitherto living in the lap of prosperity—the impend- ing ruin of this once eee ful Corporation takes a very serions, almost tragic aspect. AT THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL, where every serious event in Wall street is gen- erally denoted in the evening by a large assemblage of excited men, there was last evening a complete absence of such an indication. In the barroom there were two or three groups of gentlemen con- versing in a Jow tone on the subject of stocks, and on Pactfic Mail in particular, One of them remarked, “Well, Lam glad to say I am out of ‘Perpetual Misery,’ nd expect she (Wall street men are ip the habit of speaking of Pacific aq a female) will borat one of the n to the level fj my Hie tad and Erie. At any rate, I can af he and shall keep on the winning side.’* enveman to whom this remark was addresse and rhe appeared to be “long” of the stock, replies ina vague, general way, “Well, that may be so and may not; { don’t think the world hag come to an end yet." AN ILLUSTRATION afforded by the above mentioned revelation 18 strongly in favor of the argument so often urged Ip these columns concerning the employment of American shipping. We see here a great company, once a favorite of the Stock Exchange, foreshadow- | ing power and wealth to ali who enjoyed connec- | tion with its stocks, reduced to the lowest ebb by | no other cause than its inability to co] | successfully with the commerce of the ia | Worid—to carry freights on the same ecouomical terms and to travel with equal speed. Doubtless the lesson is one which will be taken to heart; and, should the company ever be resuscitated, it may afford an opportunity for testing the grand princi- ples which underlie successful competition between America and her foreign rivals, It ts said that 4 LOAN OF SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS has been authorized by the directors, and it is further understood that there has been some “talk” with a bank in Callfornia, which is willing to place the same, provided the company pay @ suflicient percentage and give a mortg: on its real estate and other fiscal interests. It woud seem to be an element of weakness for & once great company like this, whose chief business is done in Wall street, to go so far from home, and to pay an exorbitant price for the purpose of being accommodated to a loan when there are mil- lions of dollars in our midst awaiting invest. ment whenever the security is good and the promise to pay is indubitable. A BRAVE AMBRIOAN ABROAD. Gallant Rescue of a Herr Who Fell Over & Precipice of 200 Feet. (From the Pall Mall Gazette, June 29.) Atv accident occurred the other day upen the Hartz Mountains the circumstances ot which, as reported, are highly honorable to a young Ameri- can concerned. This gentleman, Mr, Tatham, formed one of a party of student excursionists from the Prussian School of Mines, who had gone up to visit the spot weil known as the Witches’ Ballroom—the same that Goethe introduces with such effect into immortal drama. It proved nearly when they reached the chasm and looked down it, Unhappily, one of the party, a German named Krawel, sometiow lost his footing and was precipitated down the precipice, at the edge of which his companions were standing, into the depth below, where all sight of him was iost, His comrades dispersed in search of aid, but it proved wo late to do anything effectual before night com- | Pletely closed, and their dismay was added to greatly when they missed Mr. Tatham, who was supposed to have perished in a vain attempt to rescue Krawel.
