6 MONMOUTH PARK RACES. | Second Day of the Second Summer Meeting. Good Sport, but a Small At- tendance. Outrage by the Railroad and Steamboat Authorities. The Second Boat Taken Cff Without Warning and the Passengers De- layed for Two Hours. THREE INTERESTING RACES. Beatrice the Winner of the ThespianS akes; Stockwood, of the Two-Mile Heats, and Freakness, of the Long Branch Stakes, ‘There was a strange mixture of the godly and the ‘wngouly ou the Long Brauch boats yesterday morn- tng. The saints, on their way to the Ocean Grove camp meeting, mingled with the sinners on their ‘Way to the races, and the two parties eyed each ether with great. curiosity. The saints were men and ‘women of meek and holy mein, who shuddered ‘when pools were mentioned, and almost tainted Jooking at the programmes of the amusement which were being sold upon the vessel. Those on their way to the races were good-natured looking men, with red faces and jolly aspects, and they did not in the slightest degree blush beneath the bDuraen of ther sins, as the opposition expected they would, A very pleasing incident occurred on board the Plymouth Rock. As she was steaming down the bay the Cunard steamship Scotia was a littie in advance, outward bound. The Plymouth Kock was making fast time, and in a few minutes she was alongside of the Scoua, As the two vessels came abreast the band of the Plymouth Roek struck up ‘God Save the Queen,” which was quickly changed to “Yankee Doodel.” All on board the Scotia acknowledged the graceful compliment by cheering and waiving of handkerchiefs, which was taken up on the other deck and echoed back again. The Piymoath Kock then rapidly shoved ahead, leaving the Scotia to pursue its ocean way. The attendance at Monmouth Park yesterday was Not 80 large, and the programme was not go attrac- ‘tive as on the preceding day. The Grand Stand was ‘but thinly filled, the proportion of ladies present being noticeably small. ‘ne band which had en- livened the proceedings on Tuesday was conspicu- ous by its absence, it having suddenty disap, eared. The haditues of the course were not at ull appre- Clative of its sweet, seductiveinfuences, and as.an experiment it failed. The Club House was nearly deserted during the day, many of the stew- ards being absent. The races were watched with but « Janguid interest, and mo ex- citement was occasioned by y of them, Whough there was some excellent running. Mr. MeGrath, the owner of To.n bowling, was on the course, seemingly in no way cast down by the disaster of the previous day. He was smiling and confident looking, and whatever other people think about his horse he is willing to stand by him tor some time longer, One of the most peculiar institutions in con- Nection with the races is the police. They are dressed in gray linen suits, and wear large black cotton umbrellas on their heads. They are Jersey- men pure and to the manner born, and look as se- date and solemu as the Persians in the train of the Shah, Their services are largely called for, as the visitors maintain excellent order. No one who is not furnished with the necessary badges at tempts to make his way to the stand or the quarterstretch, and a spirit of forbearance and good nature is generally displayed, which is vignly creditable to the parties concerned. Some amuse- _ment was created yesterday by the presence of an “ineregt umbrella seller, who expatiated to a “mali audte2ce upon the virtues of his wares, “Here's vour Al #U2 shades pret sold x to Gen- eral Grant, e24 hE Wants mo! fou can buy ‘em for two dollars and a hali; now’s the.tune, make our game While tae ball rolls.’ he uisposed of ine of his umbrellas duriug the day, and the pur- chasers ol tuem iound tiey had ‘been swindied, Such is te upon atece course. ‘The racing Was conc.uded earlier yesterday than usual, aud the crowd Were pleased at this a8 tuey exvected to get bucxtto te city sooner than on the previous Piay. ‘The train was fu waiting, and it Was speedily filleu,every one expecting that It would startatunce. There was a broiling hot sau uring down upon the head# or those Wio Bat, and, aiter wating Len minutes, every one Legun LO get thoroughly uicomiortable und to wonder When the train woud start.

When she did start at last the satisfaction was’ extreme, aud preparation ‘Was made Jor a Speedy run to Sandy Huck. ‘those Wio reckoued thus Were doomed to aiss ment. When the train arrived at L abvut haif-past teu., the passengers W stop got ou and the others kept tei rhe curs, however, remained stationary, and when sn- quiries were made it Was lound that they would not leave until tairveea minutes past sis, tae secoud bout having beea taken of [oo her tips wituout Wwaruiug of any kind.

These were August Belmont’s bay filly Beatrice, by Kentucky, dam im- ported Bernice; J. Camp, Jr.’s chestnut colt Dub- lim, by Kentucky, dam Zaidee; A, B, Lewis & Co. bay filly Vandalite, by Vandal, dam Vesper Ligiit; F. Morris’ bay filly Regardiess, by Eclipse, dam Barbarity; John F. Chamberlin’s bay colt Visi- goth, by Asteroid, dam Vandalia, and H. P. McGrath’s brown colt Aaron Pennington, by Tipp rary, dam Lucy Fowler. Mr. Belmont’s en- try was the favorite over the field, His filly did Not get as good a start as some of the others, but she rap through them all and won a capital race, Dublin second, Vandalite third. Beatrice was the winner ef tne Hopeful Stakes at the last meet- ing, and is areal good one, ‘The second race was fora purse of $900, for all ages; $750 to the first, $100 to the second and $50 to the third horse; two mite heats, There were but two entries tor this event. These were D, J, Ban- natyne’s chestnut horse Stockwood, by Asteroid, dam Alabama, and F. M. Hall's bay horse John Merryman, by Eugene, dam La Rose, both five-year olds, Stockwood was the favorite at 3 to 1. He won a very fair race. Jobn Merryman led the running and led throughout each heat, until a few lengths irom home, when Stock wood would leap in front and win byalength, Very little money was won or lost on the result of this affair. The third and last event of the day was the Long Branch Stakes, Value $500, added to a sweepstakes of $30 each, play or pay, for all ages; to carry 100 lbs., Mares and geldings allowed 3 Ibs. ; $100 to sec- ond and $ 0 to third horse; one mile and three- quarters.

Franklin’s bay mare Arizona, by Lexington, dam imported Zone, by The Cure, and Joho F. Chamberlin’s chestnut colt Wheatley, by War Dance, dam by Glencoe, Preakness was the favor- ite at 3 to 1 over the fleld. He came very near losing the race by the jolly of his jockey, who heid him back in the first mile at least tifty yards. ‘lo make thisup on @ mare like Arizona, with 97 Ibs, on her back, 1s net an easy Matter in three-quarters 01 4 nile, and Preakness iound it so, for he just ac- complished the great performance and won by haif aneck, Many of those who had smull pools on Ari- zona and stood to win a decent pile tried hird to imagine thet the mare was ahead at the finish; but, to their dismay, the judzes gave the correct dect- sion, which was (hat Preakness had won the race. ‘The Jollowing are \we details of tie racing :— The First Race.

In beginning he saidi the thevlugy of the Methodist Church logically compelled it to make all possible efforts for the salvation of each man, woman and child; for it held that for eaca an actual atonement had beer made, and that the Gospel of that substitute offering had been placed with the Church, in trust tor, those included in its provisions, hailed by tts invi- tations and assured by its promises. It early struck. the attention of tuoughtiul men that the Church: whould systematizé the work of planting the insti-- tutions of Christianity in new centres, among’ idolaters or Christian nations, among the erfeta) forms oi Christianity and in our own country, wherein the ordinary appliances o/ pastoral ser- vice did not reach, or could) mot be supported byt the unaided offerings of those to wuom they wer taken.
