MONMOUTH PARK. Spirited and Brilliant Finale of the Long Branch Races. Large Attendance and Magnificent Sport. FIVE EXCITING RACES. George West the Winner of the Steeple Chase Handicap; Saxon, the August Stakes; Tom Bowling, the Robins Stakes; Golitss, the Consolation Purse, andSurvivor, the Match of $1,000. “What tune do yer call that?’ # plantation Gary once asked, aa the story goes, an itinerant @isciple of Paganini, as the latter éropped his bow after asomewhat severe struggle to evoke from his cracked Cremona that bit of our national melody yclept ‘Yankee Doodle,” “¥ankee Doodle.” f “Just play it agin, will yout” ‘The predatory artist responded to the encore ‘with that accommodating spirit characteristic of artists off as well as on the stage. “Just play it agin!’ repeated, with increased earnestness, the enraptured Ethiopian, when the bow went down a second time. More of patriotic fre was thrown into the tune, but the darky was not satisfied. At the close each time he entreatea, “Just play it agin.” At length the bridge broke, the strings came down witha whack and the music ceased. “The thing’s bust,” sald the bow scraper; ‘‘can’t play no more.” “Whistle it, dance it, anything, only keep the tune going!’’ broke out beseechingly the deeply im- passioned listener. Writing up the scenes and incidents of the Mon- mouth Park races has reached about the same de- gree of sameness as repetitions of “Yankee Doodle.” It ia dificult to introduce any very startling variations. It is the same old story, the same crowds on the morning steamers going to Long Branch, the same Maltitudinous “horse talk” on board, the same pool selling scenes, the same pell-mell rush for the cara, the same continuous horse talk during the twenty miles of railroad travel, the same hurry, bustle and excitement on the track, the same violent clamor over winning favorites, the same melancholy visages of the discomfited backers of the losing horses, and, as the consequent final re- sult, the same coming home fush or broke, with gelf-congratulations on account of good luck on the one hand and on the other cursing luck with a Iachrymose lugubriousness excelling the pitifal Platitudes of Mark Twain’s “Smiley” about the um- moralities of betting after losing his bottom dollar on his supposed trusty leap frog. There was one new feature in connection with yesterday, It was the closing day of the races. In the course of racing events it generally happens that the closing day 1s the most exciting efall. Those who have won largely at the pre- vious racks desire to increase their pile and those who have lost heavily want to get square, Of course there are large numbers with whom the fascination of betting has not become a “ruling passion strong.” These go for the sport of the thing. While the members of the betting fra- ternity were out in unusually strong force yesterday, the attendance of others was Much larger than at any of the previous faces. Some croakers prophesied that the post- Ponement of the races from Saturday, not- withstanding the substantial reason of the Qnsuitableness of the track for renning, en account of the storm, would give but a slim attendance. Many others, too, have all along been insisting that where the races follow so closely upon the heels of one another you cannot fairly keep up the Public interest. An effectual argument against all such melancholy croaking were the throngs hurry- ‘mg eagerly on board the Jesse Hoyt, taking the Gret instalment of visitors to the racecourse, The steamer did not i away till ten ruinutes past her tame, but fast and furious vee gaming crowds kept coming till the very last mini “All aboard!” at Tengtn sho stated the blue flan- — and gold at the gang The sieamer would watt “ longer.

Harvard's Objections Answered by Dis- interested Witnesses, Yale Claims Al the Honor ot the Contest. To THB EvIToR oF THE HERALD:— In the HERALD of the loth instant the spirited account of the regatta at Springfeld, given by Mr. Blaikie, was by far the most jull and inter- esting which has appeared in any paper, and probably also the most reliable, All boating men, and every one interested in the details, will thank him for this faithful and vivid deseription. But Mr, Blaikie is an enthusiastic Harvard man, and, in his anxiety to explain the deleat of bis cok lege, has robbed Yale of all the honors of victory, although he disclaims any such intention, and in- deed speaks most heartily in her praise, Still, if Yale was ouly the winner through the carelessness of @ committee of arrangements, and if Harvard actually rowed over the same distance as Yale in Jess time, certainly the first place will be awarded to herin the minds of all disinterested persona, ‘whiatever the decision of the jndges and referee, In the letter of the umpire, Mr. Baboock, and the diagram which illustrates it, the position of Har- vard ta shown to be in advance of both Yale and Wesleyan, although the latter are nearer to the line. Mr. Babcock states that the diagonal! line used to mark the finish formed a triangle with a lune drawn perpendicular to the eoaen| the base of which was 160 yards, feet, measured along odd eastern bs of ite river. The course Yale lown the centre, and, at the auiah, a rine. "west of the middie of the river, while Harvard’s positien at the finish was at least some distance west of the eastern bank. Therefore, eeu Sat Bis to the um- Blatkic's state- Ments as correct, ® distance of 225 feet to row beyond Yale at the ‘hoish. It is ataved that, whatever the mistakes of spe Judges, the time of each boat was taken accurate! ‘and by means of this we have @ very ce: method of ascertaining which boat was ahead at the time they crossed a line which was drawn at right angles to the course ofthe river.

NEw Yous, July 21, 1873. J, R. FULSU Diagram, Expl: tory of the Whole Matter. To THe EpiTor OF THE HBRALD:— It seems to me that the Committee of Arrange. ments for the Springfield regatta of last week have been subjected to a deal of unjnst criticism on ac- count of their alleged error in laying out the finish- ing line of the coyrse. It does not seem to have occurred to any who have written about the race to inquire about the starting line and its position relative tothe finish, An inspection of tho pub- “lished maps of the course shows that the lines at the start and the finish were parallel. Although much complaint has been made of this, neverthe- less it is right that these lines should parallel, as is obvious from the aeopmpanying diagram It will be seen from this that a boat starting trom its Position (E,) on the west pe i) of the river. would have to FON over acourse (from E to Sangh longer than the boat (B) the cast me ane rowing to (F); the two courses of large difference in faver of the ier’ esmuch a6 tn a close race every boat would be obliged to its own water—in @ race even 80 close as that at tast—t pra tical an actual obj ention to having the lines at right angles to the course—and not ere theory. It is true that @ trotting course is laid out im ‘this manner; bat I have. always heard spoken of as an objectionable feature, and inside ” 1ts3m vantage. Moreover, the dif- ference between the inside and outside tracks of ® mile course, where the sul wheels nearly touch, is no! to be com! with the dif- ference between two courses simtlarly measured on a river tape hundred yards wide, In the poaa case in Png) nd Harvard t, after kept the same course in Yale up to a certain int (the course being indicated in the dia- gtam by tue dotted line, which aiso marks the cur- rent), seems to have deliberately taken advantage of the stronger current in the channel (indicated the continuation of the dotted line), while une.

Soa if one of tl is was right when he pre- dicted that, yeoause of the stronger current in the river last year, the difference between the time of the winning boat this year and the time the same boat Would have made last year would be over haifa ibe surely the Harvard boat must have frost mia the channel of the river during the last fe jarters of a mile, the thirteen sec- she spent 0 on the course after ye Wee crew tad Wo!

New York, July 21, 1873, To Tae Epiror or Tas Heraup:— Your correspondents, Mr. Blaikie and Mr. Bab- cock, thé referee in the late regatta, have done the Yale crew @ great injustice by attempting to show that through @ mistake in the finishing tine the Harvard crew was obliged to row the greater distance, and thus beaten on that account, They state that the finishing line was diagonal, and not at right angles to the banks of the river.

Naw Yous, July 40, 1673 TGE ALLEGED HOSPITAL OUTRAGE. Dr. Knight, the Head of the Institution for the Relief of the Ruptured and the Crippled, Tells His Story of the Treatment of Young Hyams— Another Version of the Affair. In yesterday’s HERALD Was published a story of the alleged ill-treatment of a boy in the Hospital for the Rupturedand Crippled, Lexington avenue and Forty-second street, The facts, ag stated by the boy's father, seemed very flagrant, and a re- Porter of this journalvisited the hospital to ascer- tain their truth, The hospital is @ large brick building, erected in s peculiar style of architec ture, and many strangers going to the Forty-seeond street depot often wonder for what purpose it is ‘used, Dr. Knight, the resident physician and founder Of the institution, was found in bis office, and he very readily consented to give all the information he possessed about the matter, stating that it was & great pleasure to him to have an opportunity to set himself and the hospital right in the eyes of the public, ThB DEPRAVITY OF SOME PATIENTS. There are at present about one hundred and eighty indoor patients, and a large number are treated outside. Of the inmates Dr. Knight speaks very highly, and says that with the exception of baif a dozen their condact haa) been most exem- plary. Of these half dozen young Hyams was one, and if there was any mischief afloat he generally managed to be a ringleader. There is nothing that the managers aré so much afraid of as fire, ‘as, im the event of any sudden conflagration, the patients are ao helpless that they could not manage to get away in time, About two years ago the building was fired by one of the boys, but it was fortunately extinguished without any lives being sacrificed, though damage was done to the amount of $1,200.. Since that time a vigi- lant watch hasbeen kept; but the attempt hasneen Made several times since, and Dr. Knight says be ‘Wes in constant dread of some sudden calsmity.

MONTREAL, July 20, 1873, Tf the Canadian Mintstry can furnish no better explanations of the MoMulten charges and specifi- cations of corruption, whotesale and retail, than the Minister of Finance has hastened to make in defence of his own ugly-looking case, then all is Plain sailing for the opposition, McMullen could have wished for m0 swilter witness in support of his allegations thas Sir Francis Hincks has proved himself in hie column of intended exculpation, which was spread before the Dominion the day after McMullen had poured in his obroad- side, Sir Francis acknowledges that, as McMullen alloged, he did have “interviews with two prom- iment railway bankers ia New York tn August, 1871,” and that he did “suggest that the Amert- can capitaliats who were inclined to promote the undertaking (4 ¢. the building of the Canadian Pacific road) would find sir Hugh Allan a better medium of communication with the Canadian gov- ernment than Mr. McMullen and his Chicago friends.”. They acted upon sir Francis Hincks’ @dvice, aad it cost them nearly half a million owt of their own pockets to find out how much better Sir Hogh was asa ‘‘mediom"” than McMullen. SIR FRANCIS HINCKA’ STATEMENT, Sir Francis gays that he returned to Canada and “gave Sir Hugh a list of names" of the Ameri- can capitalists, and “Sir Hugh remarked that he knew all or most of them by reputation.” This confirms the MoMullen statement that the Ministry tried to throw himself and colleagues overboard, to make room for parties with whom the govern- ment preferred to act. He also substanti- ates the assertion that “Mr, McMullen and his friends, both before and afer their association with Sir Hugh Allan, were trying in every possible way (and for this they can- not be bi ‘Ww get the government committed to entrust the buiidiag of the railroad to their company,.”” We now know, by act of Parliament, that Sir Hugh, the favorite of tne Ministry, suc- ceeded in this. attempt, and, with the tmpradence of selfishness, left McMullen and company out in the cold ana out of pocket.
