NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1873—WITH S “MONMOUTH PARK RACES. Third Day of the Second Summer Meeting. A Large Attendance and Beauti- ful Weather. The Grand Stand Gay with Fashion- ably Dressed Ladies. THREE EXCITING RACES, Alice Mitchell the Winner of the West End Hotel Stakes; Mary Constant, of the Mile Heats, and Stockwood, of the Three-Mile Dash, The attendance at Monmouth Park yesterday ‘was large, the weather was beautiful and the sport excellent. In the morning the sky was considera- bly overcast and the atmosphere threatened rain, but toward noon the fog was dispelled and the sun Came out in all its briliancy, The first boat which left Murray street was the Empire State, the Jessie Hoyt having been temporarily withdrawn on ac- count of injuries received on Wednesday. Every Beat upon the boat was occupied, and if there had been as many more seats they would have been ‘wanted, nombers of people having to stand up all the way down. The greater portion of those on board were bound for the Branch, but the sporting fraternity was well represented, and crowds sur- rounded the pool stand where pools were rapidly sold on the coming events of the day. The races commenced about half-past one, at which time the Grand Stand was better filled than on any previous day of the present meeting. There were a great number of fashionable ladies present, the races for the West End Hotel stakes attracting them from the Branch. Their fluttering ribbons, dainty costumes and pretty iaces acted like mag- mets upon their attendant cavaliers, who paid much more attention to them than they did to the contests, A very excellent band had been sent on from the hotel, and by playing appropriate airs at the proper time it largely contributed to the en- Joyment of the day. A pleasing incident occurred ip connection with the first race. The proprietor of the West End Hotel came upon the ground about one o'clock and presented the amount of the stakes, $1,000, to the stewards. The money was contained in a handsome purse, which was manu- factured by Tiffany specially tor the occasion, It is an amusing 8 ght to stroll to the stables be- fore the commencement of a race. The jockeys are sitting around the doors loudly discussing the merits of their respective horses and betting upon them as much as their means will ailow. They ‘will tell each other on what they have been living and how much they have reduced their weight, and will exhibit their Neshless bodies as tokens of their skill. The man who most resembles a skele- ton is a hero and is looked up to with admiration ‘by nis fatter companions. ‘The little boys, the sat- ellites of the jockeys, listen.to the latter as if they ‘were oracles, and they long for the time when they, too, will take part in the glorious struggle. The darkeys and the whites mingle together on terms of the utmost equality, all par- ties being intensely cemocratic in the presence of the horse. ‘Ihe saddling anu the weighing are gone through, amid a shower of chaff and repartee, and each horse is 1ollowed to the course by a score of ee, on, who think the success of the animal Would not be sure without their presence, There was another surprise yesterday tn the vic- tory ol Mary Constant aimost equal to that whica the defeat of Tom Bowling occasioned on Tuesday. The mare had few backers and her chances oi vic- tory were considered hopeless, but she came in an easy winter on the third heat, amid a scene of wil excitement, The clever little darkey who rode her .was almost smothered witha praises by the men who had money on the mare, and one of them who had bet iargely on the result, generousiy bestowed upon the boy a $50 dill, The attachés of Chamberin’s stabie were greatly elated over the unexpected result, and | they testified to their ere by cheering and | Miuging their caps into the air, There were a great mau) mortified iaces upon the ground, however, particularly among the backers o! the favorite, who made but a sorry show in the race, being badly veuten in the tirst and last heats, ‘The races were run in quick succession yester- day in order to get them over in time for the spec- tators to catch the first train lor the city. There was only an intermission of a few minutes between the secona and the last race. ‘inere was gieat interest mauiesied in the last contest, the | three-mile race for the $800 purse. The rand stand way @ sea of anxious laces, and as the horses came to the last quarter of the three miles, with the iavorite map hs behind, the excitement became absorbing. Much sympa- tuy Was expressed for Joim Merryman, who broke down lame within a few yards of the judges’ staud, | after making a gallant fignt, ‘There are most extravrdinary attractions offered for Saturday, the iast day of the meeting. For the Great Handicap Steeplechase ten norses are ex- pected to start. Nineteen horses are entered for | the Conquest Stakes and turty-seven ior the Rob- bins Stakes. For the Consolation Stukes there are sixteen entries. oats will run, if the com- | Dy Ny vo its promise, at 6:30, 9, 9:40 and 0:30 A. M. Below will be found the details of yesterday’s racing. THE RACING, Aheavy rain yesterday morning at Monmouth Park rendered the track somewhat heavy and slow, The weather, however, was delightiul and the rac- ing good, if not fast. Three events came of, the first being the West End Hotel Stakes—a renewal of the Monmouth Oaks Stakes—valued at $1,000, added to a sweepstakes of $50 each, play or pay for fillies foaled iu 1870; the winner of the Mon? mouth Oaks Stakes to carry five pounds exvia; the second to receive $200 and the third horse $100 out of the stakes; the distance a mile and three- quarters. Twenty-seven nominations were made atthe closing of the stakes, but.only six came to the starting post. The second race was for a purse, mile heats, with ‘our starters, and the third | race was 4 dash of three miles. } Starters for tne West End Hotel Stakes were W. | Cottrili’s chestuut filly Alice Mitchell, by Planet, | dam Volga; Kk. W. Walden’s chestnut filly Minnie W., by Planet, dam Edina; August Belmont’s bay | Mily Medora, by Reutucky, dam imported Camilla; | M. P. McGrath's chestuut filly Tavitha, by Tippe- | ary, duin The Greek Slave; W. M. Conner’s bay fly Sunrise, by Hlanet, dam Ultima, and J. W, | Weidon's chestnut filly Quits, by ipse, dam | Columbia. Alice Mitchell had thecail in the betting, | Buarise second choice, and in some few of tue Pools bringing as mach as the other, Whatever | could have led to such a mistake in the calibre or | ondition of Sunrise we ure unable to undérstana, as she was beaten before she ran a mile and a half, and finished icurth. Alice Mitchell won the race | very easily, Mivaie W. being second, Medora a bad | third, the ochers “nowhere.” The mile heats race, which was for a purse of $600, | for ail ages that bad not won during either meeting— $400 to the first, $75 to the second and $25 to the $hird horse—had jor starters John F, Chamberiin’s | bay iilly Mary Vonstant, by War Dance, dain Lass of Sidney, $ years old; K. W. Waiden's bay colt Utica, by Lexington, dam Kitty Olark, 3 years old; 4. G. K. Lawrence’s buy colt Shylock, by Lexing- ton, dam Edith, 4 years old, and John Coffee's brown | volt B, T. Carver, by Ligatuing, dam La Victime, 3 | years old.. B, ¥. Carver had the call in the betting previous to the start, but after the first heat, woicn | ‘was won by Mary Constant, Shylock became a | great favorite, seiling tor more thun all the others combined. Utica made a dead heat with Shylock the second time, but this only made Shylock a frenter lavorite than betore. He was, however, eaten in the third heat by both Mary Constant and Utica, the filly winging the race gallantly. Her | backers wade a rich harvest, 48 the Paris Mutual Pools paid $46 ior $5 invested on the last heat. The last eventof the day was for @ purse of $800 for ail ages; $650 to the first, $100 to the second id $50 to the third horse; three miles. This had for entries D. J, Bannatyne’s chestnut horse Stock- ‘wood, yt Asteroid, dam Alabama, 5 years old; John FP. Frankiin’s enestnut colt Wheatiey, by War Dance, dap by Giencor, 4 years old; F. M. Hall's Day horse John Merryinan, by gene, dam La Rose, Years Old, and A. C. Frankiin's bay colt Golitza, by Lexington, dam Scottische, 4 years old. The dates Was backed heavily at the Brooch and in the - | Woo Was @ ueck in front of Stockwood, city the migntbetore the race, var when pooiselling began at the track just before the contest Stock- wood had the over the field, The latter won the Merryman third. latter broke down badly during the race, and when it was over it was with difficulty that he hobbled off the course to his stable, His near loreleg seems to be irretrievably gone. Golitza made a complete fail- Ure us a race horse, and it will be a long time be- fore people will be gulied into backing him again. How horsemen were led to believe that he was firat ciass race horse 18 a mystery. He proved him- self on tuis occasion, as he did in the mile heats on Tuesday last, a complete “duffer.” The following are the details of the running as it came off;— The First Race. West END Hore.

A Spirited, Meeting Last Night—Prospects of a Lively Yacht Season—The Coming CraisemThe Races to be Run—The Proposed New Classification Not Yet Sanctioned—Professor Agassiz and the Yacht “Sprite”—Members Elected. The regular quarterly meeting of the New York Yacht Club took place last evening, at the rooms, Twenty seventh street and Madison avenue, Mr. Franklin Osgood in the chair. The following per- sons were proposed, balloted for and elected as members:—T, W. B, Hughes, F, F, Gunther, August Belmont, Jr., Henry Rouselle, John H. Demott, W. 8.

Osborne ; and John William Wilson, The discussion then came up about the next cruise of the yacht squadron, Mr. Oscoop said that he thought that early in August was the best time, Muitherto the cruises had been too Jate, and as there was a full moon about the oth or 6th it would probabiy be better to commence early and not go so late in the season. It was suggested, on the other hand, that as there were few yacht owners present it might be as well | to leave it to them to decide upon, It would hardly be doing them justice to decide without hearing what they had to say aboutit, It was finally de- cided to leave the matter to the Regatta Commit- tee, which would call the owners together and de cide, and go the discussion was left, CLASSIFICATION OF CRAPT, ‘The report of the Committee on the Classification of Yachts was called for, and Mr. read the jollowing report :— ‘The undersigned members of a Ittes on | fication of Yachts, appouted in 1872, 1m compliance with a request made at the last inceting of the club submit the following, Which is aeopy ol a report which Was sub- | Inittod ‘By them t the club at wapecial mectug tvid | June 6, 1873, ‘Yhey report that upon examinii systems of measuremen's and allowances her times | used by the clul, they are satistc le can be | found which will aoply tairly to vessels of extremes in size ws now exist among both tae schooners and sloops ol, the squadron, They theretore recommend the following subdivisions into classes :— First Class Schoonors—All measuring 7,000 cubic feet | and over.

It was suggested that this matter lie over: but Mr. Minton, the mpeqiey said that if it did he over all the races of the Fall season and the races at Newport would have to be satied under the old classification, which was no classification at ail, Commodore Voorhecs, on the other hand, said | he did not like this report, for, as the majority of the schooners in the Cia!) ranged from five to eight thousand cubic 1eet measurement, he did not sec why or how the distinction couid be drawn at 7,000, Nr Krebs said that the change proposed was to meet the case of @ number of small yachts which had been puilt within the past two years, bat that, spite of this, the report did not enti sult him, THE DECISION COULD BE PUT OFF, and owners warned that whatever races were run for cups this Summer and Fall should Se so under the new classification to be adopted. then ewners of yachts could satisly themselves ‘ommodore VOORHKES sai that to draw the line betweeu first and second class ai 4,0v0 feet would be better.

Mr. MrnTON said that he had just received a notification trom the Commodore of the Ciub that that gentleman presented four cups of the value of $500 each, two be sailed for during the cruise of the Club, one cup being for schooners and the other lor sloops, and the two others to be sailed for the tirst Thursday in October over the regular course of the N. and the other for their own arrangements as to conditions of races. The cups were accepted with thanks by the meeting in the name ot the Club, and {t was re- solved to send a letter thanking the donor. TIME ALLOWANCE. Some little discussion ensued on the conditions ot the races, whether with time allowance or without, and it was settled by determining to leave the matter to @ special meeting of owners when they entered; in other words, to decide on the cruise how they should be satied. Mr. MINTON then said he had recetved notification from Mr. Dougiass tuat the Commodore of the Clay offered & $1,000 cup to be sailed from Sandy Hook Lightship to Cape May and back, He did aot know whether the Commodore had fixed any sailing Teguiations, The cup was accepted with thanks.

ENTER- {From the Colambus (Ga.) Enquirer, July 12.) The New YORK HERALD 4g @ hewspaper assuredly stands unrivalled by any journal in the world, | To-day it circulates in every part of this Continent that a mail can reach, and in its columns the miner of Arizona and the trapper of Manitoba can read the world’s history for aday. It 1s found in every court of the Old World, and it goes out on or to the ships of every land that whiten every sea. Its correspondents are to be found in the land of the Modocs, with the insurgents in Cuba and in the prisons of Spain. To-day you find one interviewing a Carlist chief in Northern Spain, and to-morrow another sends news to the world from the heart of Autrica, where the intrepid Baker established tue southern boundary of the Khe- dive’s ever-increasing domain. Now it is @ description of the semi-barbaric Persian and his suite and the /étes of kings and emperors in nis honor, and then a report from the oasis of Kbtva and Kaufmann’s column, announcing the tmpris- onment of the Khan and the release of ten thou- saud Persian slayes. From the alleys where death and crime are wedded the HsaLp men bring to the world stories that are new and that give us an idea of the world’s wretchedness; and trom the churches, hospitals and charities they bring us records of the world’s goodness, Cail it Yankee enterprise if you will; say it is to make dollars and cents, and we will grant it; sneer at the so-called “sensation,’? and we will not object, but answer by pointing to the magnificent enterprise that sent Stanicy alter the lost explorer and gave him back, to the world, and to that un- paralleled news achievement which printed New York HERALD the fall of Mag- dala in Abyssinia and the death of King Theodore before Europe had the news, and Eng- land recetved the first knowledge of the success of her troops in Africa trom a cable despatch sent trom New York, The New York HeeaLp spends more for correspondence than any ten papers in the world, and so numerous and widely located are they, and of a class so daring, that a dre in Mel- bourne, an earthquake in Costa Rica or a revolt in Majorca would find a HERALD correspondent at the scene of action, with his note book in hand, ready for the operations to begin.

Spectator, July 15.] The New YoRK HeRaup has achieved another journalistic triumph, By running a through lignt- ning express to Baltimore and Washingten, it sup- plies those two cities, as well as Philadelphia, with that paper four hours earlier than formerly.

The HeRaLp had come throngh in six hours, anc that, too, with- out the intervention of Professor Wise and his bal- Joon, or the tubular air tunnel, The HeKaxp cer- tainly does deserve credit tor the enterprise its Management exhibits on all occasions, and also for its liberality towards its bretnren of the press, tor we learn that it did not strike a single exchange from its list under the new postal law, and there is hardly @ country paper in the land, o! any note, that it does not exchange with, sending even its daily to the most unpretentious weekiles.

THE CHALLENGE CUP, Spirited Contest for the Bennett College Running Cup at Springfield. Hampden Park Crowded with Carriages and Spectators. A SPLENDID RACE. Three Competitors Start from the String. Bowie, the Canadian, Carries Off the Cup. The Two Miles Ran in 11. Minutes 18 1-2 Seconds. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., July 17, 1873. ‘The running race tor the silver plate offered by Mr. James Gordon Bennett occurred this morning, and resulted in @ closely contested victory for Bowie, of McGill University, Montreal, Canada, Phillips, of Cornell, came in second, and Benton, ot Amlerst, withdrew on the last quarter, after being passed by both of his antagonists. ‘There ts no disputing the fact that this race was One of the most interesting features of the regatta week. It appeared an exceedingly appropriate contest for academicans, and revived in the minds of all the classical students visions of the athletic games which formed such an important feature in the old Olympian carnival. Here in Springfield there was witnessed just such a scene as that re- corded of the Grecian heroes away on the plains of windy Troy, and the same sport served, as in the olden time, to beguile the time preceding the struggles which were to come. Hampden Park, the scene of the contest, is located just outside of Springfield, and the promise of such an interesting feature was sufficient to attract a large crowd. The game of base ball playing between two class nines of Harvard and Brown Universities was de- serted in a few minutes alter THE BELL OF PREPARATION was sounded, The Grand Stand, with a cayacity of seating several thousands, was crowded to its utmost, and carriages thronged all parts of the park irom which even a partial view of the course was obtainable. The carriages were filled with gayly dressed parties of ladics and gentle. men, all wearing conspicuously displayed the colors of the several colleges with which their in- terests or friendships were associated. The ap- pearance of the athletes, dressed in skin-tight leg- gings and shirts, was the signal for a general con- centration of the vast multitude towards the Judges’ stand. THR FRELING OF EXPECTANCY became so strongly intensified that the signal for the start was awaited with breathless interest. Mr. Wilbur R. Racon, captain of the Yale crews of 164 and '65, was selected as reieree, and the string over the starting point was soon stretched. ‘The three contestants stepped lightly out into tne arena. First came young Phillips, of Cornell, slender in build and as brown as a wal- nut, attired in blue knee-breeches and white shirt. Then followed Benton, the Amherst man, strong limbed and muscular, wearing a white, armless shirt and knee breeches. Finally came Bowie, tall and lean, with gauze shirt and drawers and a blue silk breech cloth, Phillips won the first position, Bowie second and Benton third—the first taking the inside of the course. The referee then explained the manner of starting the men, and announced that the course, one-half mile in length, must be traversed four times. THB RACE, It must have been pleasing to the representa- tives of the prominent boating and athletic clubs that were present to see the interest expressed in the faces of the thousands that filled the Grand Stand when the referee ordered the men on the track. It plainly showed the love of athletic sports inherent in the Amertcan race, which only required a little encouragement to become a national pastime. There were many regrets expressed that the short nctice given pre- vented many from competing that would other- wise have taken part in the contest, and they all agreed that next year there would be arace for this cup of a magnitude and interest never yet excited over @ pedestrian contest in the United States. The following gentlemen were entered for the race:— Name. Coll-ge. Otis B. Benton, Amherst. Duncan J. Bowie, McGill. Rdward T. Phillips, Corn Daniel Lawrence, Da George F. Dudley, Corne: K. Shehan, Harvard. saa Messrs. Lawrence and Shehan, for some reason unknown, did not put in an appearance, and Mr, Dudley was also obliged to decline the contest, as he was taken sick while training on the previous day, and this morning found him so weak he thought it prudent not to uttempt@race, Aiter drawing jor positions the men stepped out of tae enclosure and took their allotted places, amid the ENTHUSIASTIC CHEERS of the spectators. Phillips had the inside position, Bowie, the Canadian, in the centre and the Amherst In the | opinion of the general public the race lay between Messrs. Benton and Bowie, as the former was credited with a private trial on Wednesday, mak- ing the two miles in 10:45, and the Canadian isa well-knowm smateur runner, having won some eight or nine races in the British provinces. “aRK YOU READY?" “Gol!” At 10:46 the men drew ap in line, and, awaiting the word, the crowd kept still and anxious, surg- ing out in @ tremendous roar, as the words, “Are you ready?” “Go!” fell irom the lips of Mr. Bacon, The race was run on the half-mile track, as there were so many carriages drawn up on the mile track that it was thought time would be wasted in the attempt to clear them off. At the word “Go!” the three men statted at a@ steady, slinging gait, Phillips taking the pole, witn Bowie and Benton close belind. Benton had a bunch of grass in each hand and looked confident and de- vermined, though aware of the work that was cut out before aim. He ran at @ steady gait, but rather too pounding, lilting his feet a trifle high— an error made the more noticeable by thie slinging, easy galt ot the Canadian, who was trotting along | couple of yards ahead. A/ter running about one hundred and fifty yards Bowie came up and passed Phillips, who dropped betrind Benton. The latter then closed on Bowie and took the lead, passing the first quarter about three yards ahead. FIRST QUARTER, Men. Distance Ahead of the Next Man. Ne.

In the opinion of many Mr. Benton would have ran a far better race than he did if he had not been so much reduced. During the last week he brought himself down about seventeen pounds—sufficient to weaken any man. SUMMARY, The following is a summary of the time:— ‘The race created quite an excitement among the collegians, and next year will probably witness one of the most exciting races on record in the at- tempt to bring the cup into the possession of a college in the United states, LYNOH LAW IN OMAHA Citizens Organizing a Vigilance Com~ mittee for the Protection of the City. OMana, Neb., July 17, 1873 A committee appointed at a meeting of raiiroad men on Tuesday reported at a subsequent meeting that a citizens’ committee had been organized for the purpose of assisting the authorities to enforce the laws; that in case of the inability or neglect of the authorities to preserve order the citizens’ com- mittee would take measures to secure protection to the lives and property of all good citizens.
