a SARATOGA RACES. Last Day of the Sec- ond Meeting. Delightful Weather and Large Attendance. THE FAVORITES AGAIN BEATEN. eo A Heavy Track, but Good Racing. j The Dash of a Mile and an Eighth Won by Eolus, the Four-Mile Heats by Ari- zona—Business the Winner of the Mile and Three-Quarter * Race and Blind Tom of the Steeple Chase. . Saratoga, August 16, 1878. The delightful weather and the attractions af- forded by four races, one of them a steeplé chase and another a four mile heat race, drew an im- mense attendance to the course to-day, The fact that it was the last day of the season would no @oubt have of itself, even though the weather had been less favorable than, it was, been suficient inducement to attract a large concourse of spec- tators, During the early morning the sky was “ark and threatening, and at times a slight rain sprinkling gave rise to considerable apprehension as to whether we were not to be again treated to the same kind of a storm which day before yester- fay turned the track into a perfect quagmire, Recessitating @ postponement of the races, and threw even the best natured people into SPASMS OF DIgCONTENT AND DESPAIR the hvelong day. However, the clouds began to move off to the westward by ten o’clock, and an our afterward tite sky was clear and the sun shining brightly. The effect upon the visitors at the hotels and the village generally was electrical. he general gloom disappeared as if by magic, and the piazzis, which had up to that time been crowded by the ladies who Sat moping and peuting Decause of the threatening weather, were soon de- Jerted and everybody began to prepare to go to the course. The hackmen and the stage owners were in their glory, too, over the weather. They yelled louder, ‘This way to the races!’ bustled about, and buttonholed every one they met with more freedom and jollity than they have had the heart .to show for @ays past, when the maa Tate and the drizzling rain proved so damaging to their Business, Proba- bly nothing tells better for the regulations here, which effectually prevent extortion by the stage’ Wen, than that their rates always remain the Bame, no matter whether the prospects are good or bad for tnem. ‘To-day THE CRUSH AND RUSH TO THE COURSE was something terrific—tremendous, in tact—and yet the fare to the track was not raised, Every- thing on wheels was sought for and scrambled for by dozens ata time, ana I more than once during the morning came across a little gathering of young men warmly disputing over the possession of a hack—one side claiming that they had hired it Defore the otherand the other denying the soft impeachment as vehemently as it was charged, with the hackman delightfully neutral dur- the hubbub. If this state of affairs + Was not enough to make the hackmen good na- tured I know not what possibly could make them 80. Still, with all their good luck, they were not good natured enough to wish well toany “outside” competition, and many a quiet old villager who Managed to earn a few dollars by accommodaung in his wood wagon parties who were unabie to se- cure a hack went pome in the afternoon with a lively appreciation of the profanity and ugliness gener: of the liveried Jehus. The road to the ‘course firésented a very gay appearance. The crush of carriages, ight Wagons, hacks and *buses Was 80 great all the way along that it was im- possible at times for any one vehicie to @rive much faster than a walk without run- ning risk of a collision with the turnout im- meMiateiy ahead. Indeed, it was found necessary, in oing to the course;fror the village, for the carriages To keep on the road to the right, thus leaving ad he left side road exclusively for the use oy Tarriages returning irom the track and gf their way back for an additional load of pfZsengers, The grand stand was crowded in, Very part iong before the bell sounded for jut’ t race.

From the field opposite the quarter stretch the scene was certainly a most attractive one. Away down as far As the field to the leit of the grand stand, which ex- tends far to the northward from the quarter stretch railing, hundreds of carriages were huddled together in one almost inextricable maas, and Q) the wheels and upon the ceats, and even upon the shaits, there clambered men and boys, and even veveral of the women from the village, who af- fect no aristocratic airs, but believe that a woman has as good a right to secure a good posi- tion to see arace from as any man, even though the has to climb over a fence or to stand on car- tlage wheels to accomplish the purpose. the grand stand, however, that presented the most animated appearance. Every seat was filled, and irom one end of the stand to’ the other, and from the front seat to the rearmost, .there arose before the eye an ever-changing, shi/ting SCENE OF BEAUTY AND FASHION, in which rigid wo wreathed in smiles; bright silke and loves of dainty bonnets, fans and para- Bols, were so commingled as almost to hide irom ‘view the gentlemen who were seated in their midst re and there, looking “like dark shadows in & ht sky,’ as I heard a tan | poetically remark, who sat behind me. i told, I think Uhere must have been at least five thousand people on hand as spectators; and with the bright sunshine and the cooling breeze and the presence ofso many of the fair sex I do not wonder that during the races the utmost enthusiasm prevailed, even the ladies themselves taking sides with this and that horse, eet by word of admiration, but by the more practical way of showing it—buying ‘ench pools on their pets through their gentle- ‘men friends. Indeed, 1 saw severat ladies take out of their dainty pocketbooks their fives And tens and quietly teli some friend on his way down to the quarter stretch to buy the ‘first choice” or the “Jowest horse.” It was really delightful during the races to witness the anxiety depicted on the countenances of these ‘atr bidders—the change of color that came and went as their favorite either FELL BACK DURING THE STRUGGLE or forged ahead of his rivals. And, strange to say, not one of them ail that heard give their pool orders lost their money. And what atime they made of their victories! They went nearly wild with delight whenever their choice in a race came im ahead. They clapped their hands and laughed, and shook hands with all their friends in the most enthusiastic style, accompanied by exclamations of, “My horse has won! Did'nt I tell you he would?” Or, “I knew that he was too beautiful to be beaten;” or, “What a dear creature he is!’ as the winner drove up to the judges’ stand aud the jockey dismounted. The first race turned out as so many others have ‘this meeting—a perfect Waterioo tor the knowing ones. They bet heavily on Minnie Mc and McDaniel’s entries, but the fates had it—or rather it was the natural result of the inevitable rule that nt horse cannot be first—that Eoius, Who Was sold low in the pools, should wiv. But if Eolus’ victory was a crushing blow to them, what must their feelings have been when Hubbard was defeated in the four mile heats’ Belore the race began they Were betting at the rate of $125 to $25 on him, and P iad he was defeated by Arizona in the first heat and was left an eighth of a mile behind in the second, To say that when Arizona came if ‘the winner of the first heat the spectators grew WILD WITH EXCITEMENT ‘would not be telling half the story, se in the ga stand and cheered and cheered to the echo, Now Hubbard may have understood that the cheers were ne for his rival, for he looked downcast and forlorn as he drew up after passing under the string.

If he could only have understood what that means douvtiess his ey would have looked brighter and bis step less ahi | than it was wnen he came up to be. blanketed after his defeat. Poor old McDaniel looked broken-hearted, amd had not even the courage, alter the race was over, to go out on the track and tell his stable boys what to do with the horse. The boys, too, look: if they had come to sudden misiortune, and as one of them led the horse away, ‘the rest followed him along in mournful procession, The darky sentiment was ail Hubbard to-day evi- dently, and no hats were thrown heavenward and Bo Kentucky yells given, pe when their pet of the They rose en the grounds,,and, thanks to the ; was It was | oe NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, AUGUST 17, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET. Ser, befor made them tumble somersets in the el In conclusion I will add that, although the know. ing ones leave here to-day broken in spirits and broken in pocket, the meeting was a most success- ful one for the Association, I learn that pecu- niarly it has been successful beyond any other meeting for qeewt past. For one thing, if for nothing else, the Assoctation deserves this reward— the best of order has been always maintained on resence of Rad- ford and Dusenbury, two of New York’s most saga- cious detectives, the season has been signalized by an utter absence of the criminal classes of either sex, When race courses are thus guarded racing associations will never have to complain of a loss on account of the absence of decent people, THE RACING.

There were some changes of place suring the second mile, Hubbard leading past the stan four lengths, Arizona second, six lengths ahead of Viley, who was a@ like distance in front of Bessie Lee. In the third mile Viley sulked and fell away behind Bessie Lee. Arizona, under a pull, lay behind Hubbard, and it was evi- a@ent that between these two lay the contest. Going into the fourth mile, Hubbard seemed to be laboring, while the mare’s head was being pulled from side to side.

The West End Club Races—The Beanty and Fashion of Long Branch Present— Interesting Events. Long Branon, August 16, 1873, It has been long since proved that norse racing in the United States is a success, considered as @ sport among sporting circles, To-day has estab- lished the fact that it can also be made, asin Eu- “rope, an amusement of a refined and attractive character for he higher classes of society. In Eng- land the masses have their Derby, to which London pours eut its hundreds of thousands yearly, from the cadger to the count and from the prince to the pickpocket. Tho sporting men have their Voncas- ter, St. Leger and their Liverpool steeple chase, where the pure betting man and the judge of horseflesh, professional or amateur, are in their glory. The wealth, refinement, beauty and fashion of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland and Scotland have their Ascot, at which the crémeé de la créme of society’enjoys, in a most enjoyable manner, the true excitement of the contest of speed between horses and of skill and judgment between their riders. We have already had at Monmouth Park our American Derby; we have at Saratoga and Buffalo, and again at the coming ex- tra mecting at Long Branch this month, our Don- caster and our Liverpool. To-day we have had at the splendid Monmouth Park track our American Ascot, and certainly as success{ul a one, as far as Tegards the grace, elegance, beauty and refine- ment of the attendance, if not in the actual racing, as ever was held on the famous track which draws annually to its grand stand the aristocracy of England. THE RACE FOR GENTLEMEN RIDERS, The weather has favored to-day’s race for gen- tlemen riders, arranged under the auspices of the West End Jockey Club. The three days’ storm de- Prived the Long Branch visitors, while it lasted, of the amusement of riding and driving. Teams have been idly fattening and growing lazy at their stables, Carriages have been gradually accumu- lating that coating of green mildew which is cer- tain to gather on paint under the dampen- ing influence of the sea breeze. People were growing weary of watching the foam- ing breakers, grand and glorious as they are, and tired of indoor amusements. Hence, when the day broke this morning with a clear biue sky and a bright sunshine, it was at once an indi- cation that the races at Monmouth Park would be @ success, and that all Long Branch—that is to say, all riding and driving Long Branch—every person who keeps horses or who can afford to hire horses, and whose position in society would entitle them toan admission into the company of ladies and gentlemen, would be present at the club house to witness the interesting amateur contest. THE COMPANY AT THE CLUB HOUSE, Soon after one o’clock in the afternoon, at which time, according to the programme, the mile heat race for the gentlemen riders for two prizes given by the West End Jockey Club and the ladies of Long Branch was to be run, the club house at the Monmouth Park track began to wear a gay and in- teresting appearance. Teams began to pour out at its front steps their loads of beauty and fashion, the balconies on the two floors of the house began to blossom like a richly planted flower garden in June, and the fun, excitement and genuine enjoyment of the day commenced, Ido not know how it was managed; but in @ quiet, Lois beat ed and effective manner a few applicants for Admission, whose characters were open to question, were sent off to the grand stand or to some other part of the track, and the club house was kept exclu- sively for the proper sort of people. I have scarcely time to send you anything like a complete list of those who were there, and | may therefore say in general terms that pit the wealth, pine. ment, beauty and elegance of thé Branch, aiid that certainly embraces the best society of the United States, Were present to do honor to the occasion, At hazard and without invidious distinction I note down the names of @ few of those who contributed to form the galaxy of elegance and beauty on the club house balconies, Among the Philadelphians present were Dr, and Mrs. George H. Heberton, Mrs, Dr. Danack, 8. Howell, Beajamin H. Brew- ster, ex-Attofnéy General and his attractive wile, the daughter of Robert J. Walker, J. B. Lippincott, Mr. and Mrs. D, H. Dougherty, Miss A. MacGregor, Mr. R. M. Hooper, Dr. and Mrs. CArmac, THE DRESSES OF THE LADIES . in attendance on the race would have done credit to Ascot on the Cup Day. Indeed, with the superior taste of the American ladies over the English ladies in dress, 1do not risk exaggeration to say that the costumes at Monmouth Park to-day were more graceful and elegant than are ordinarily seen atthe Ascot race course. I can give only a slight idea oi a few of them for the gratification and en- Lea of your lady ier ba rs. John Hoey wore a ve! coming dress of the new shade of green—I do not exactly kuow whether to call it pea green or ash green—em- broidered with a slightly tighter shade of the same color andred. A Leghorn flat, handsomely trimmed with black velvet and flowers, became her well and called to mind her palmiest gays upon the stage. Mire. Hugh J. Hastings was dressed in a very handsome biack silk costume, and her daughter, Miss Kate Hastings, wore a beautiful shade of blue, with white chip hat and feather, tipped with blue. Miss Murphy wore a net silk dress, with hight brown redingote, trimmed with lace of the same color, ie @ jaunty and becoming hat. Mrs. John McClave wore a handsome biack silk walking dress, richly trimmed with point lace and diamond ornaments. Miss McClave was dressed in the prevailing fashion of striped silk dress and gaily trimmed nat. Mrs. Denckler, of New York, was elegantly attired in a pale lavender silk dress, with elaborate trimmings of white pane lace, achip bonnet with pink trimmings, and along brown feather with a pink tip. Miss B, Driggs wore a black silk underskirt striped with velvet, an overdress elaborately trimmed and striped with Ber lace, @ black lace hat with pink roses and gok ey irs. James K. Otis wore a purple striped silk, with Cie trimmings and diamond ornaments, and Miss Otis was dressed ina handsome walking dress of mauve silk, and coral ornaments. Mrs. Eugene Earli, of New York, increased ber natural beauty by a becoming dress of gray silk, with plece trimmings and white chip hat trimmed with two shades of blue. Mrs. Pierce wore @ very becoming blue dress, trimmed with biue lace; hat en suite. Miss Corbett, of Lockport, sister-in-law of United States District Attorney Crowley, was dressed in a very handsome black silk suit and jet ornaments. Ohne very tasteful and showy dress was of light blue silk, with drab edging to flounces, drab body and overskirt with narrow blue edging, sieeves of blue the same asthe dres: chip hat with gay flower trimmings, warine blue parasol, lined with white, and a blue dotted veil. A com- panton to this dress was one made almost the same, but of dark blue, with a brown sea grass overdress, and shepherdess hat, gaily trimmed. Another very becoming costume was of black silk, with velvet and lace trimmings, an elegant white point lace bodice; white chip hat, elaborately trimmed with point, and green plaid sash and neck ribbon and gold ornaments. One exceedingly showy dress was a white brocade silk, trimmed with brown velvet and lace to match, brown silk underskirt, black lace hat, trimmed with masses of different colored grapes and flowers and gold’ ornaments. rare heavy silk hats, trimmed with any amount of gayly colored flowers and silver and gold ornaments appeared to be most in use. Between the races and at their close ‘waitsing was enjoyed in the handsome rooms of the ciu house to the music of the excellent band of the Ocean Hotel, and lunch was served during the whole time occupied in the racing. Altogether the Tair was & grand success, and may justly be called the American Ascot. S The Racing. The first race of the West End Club was for gentieman’s cup, mile heats, best two in three. The prizes for this were @ subscription cup—al- ready described in the HgeraLp—and a surplus cup.

Utica, N. Y., August 16, 1873, The third day’s races of the Utica Park Associa- ‘tion took place to-day. The races were for 2:30 and 2:24 horses. The weather was cloudy in the morning and promised rain, During the latter heats of both races these promises were fulfilled. During the first two heats in each, however, the track was in excellent condition, The attendance was larger than during yesterday, Yhe First Race. In the 2:30 race there were five starters. In the Dools Castle Boy sold at 6 to 5 against the field. The horses were off at the second scoring, On the start Heath Bloom led, with St. James second and the favorite third. At the half mile Lady Banker was first, Brother Jonathan and St. James neck and neck and Castle Boy still third, The Jatter acted badly throughout te beat, losing his feet twice. Nearing the three- quarters St. James gained the first place, with Jonathan second, Castle Boy third and Heath Bioom fourth, ‘The horses came home in this order, St. James winning by a length. The pad conduct of the favorite lowered him in the pools, and after the heat he solid at 8 to lé against the field.

Four Pedestrian Contests at Washington Park— Targe Crowd of Spectators—The First Race ‘Won by Crandall, the Second in Dis- puts, the Third by Smith, the Fourth by Allison. PROVIDENCE, R. I, August 16, 1873. For the greater part of last week the topic | among sporting men remaining in Providence in- | stead of visiting Saratoga or Utica, consisted of | the four promised foot races, three between pedes- | trians pretty well known and one of purely locat interest. The terms of the match in each case | were “pay or play," and the first three contests | were down for Thursday last, but the storm was | conceded by all parties interested as suficient to call more than a rain, and consequently the four | races fell into one bill of fare for to-day. The con- tests were ail for short distances, one being 200 yards, one of 160 and the others being 100 yards, ‘The contestants were one Joseph A. Stratton, of Fall River, Mass.; Henry Crandall, of Queen City, Mo.; William H, Yonng, of Philadel- phia, Pa.; W. A. Kendrick, of Mount Sterling, IIL; Edward Moulton, of Minneapolis, Minn.; John Alli- son, of this city—all more or less known to pedes- trian circles—John Smith, of Providence, and John McMann, of Pawtucket—where only they are known. Stratton is 22 years old, weighs 123 pounds, and is} feet 6% inches in height, To-day’s race Was his sixteenth. In February last he beat Wil- Mam Adsetts at Troy, N. Y., in a 150-yards race. He claims championsnip at 300 yards. Crandall is 29 ears old, weighs 153 pounds, and stands 5 feet 9 | inches. He has ran with the best men in the’ country at from 75 to 200 yards, His best race was in 1870, when he beat James Harris, the “Oleveland Boy,” at 75 yards. Young is 28 years old, measures 6 feet 4 inch, and is best_ known as beating John Tho: at Newark, N. J., in 9% sec- | onds, ina run of 100 yards, Kendall is 48 years, an old “Ped,” who claims to have ran 100 yards, b- Jooted, in 93, .keconds, and is ready to ‘be matched the same disty with any man of his age in the World, for trom $1,000 to $5,000, Moulton was matched in Philadeiphia for his race to-day. He is 25 years old and stands 5 feet 93% inches. He has run considerable, and beat Thomas at Trenton last Fall, Allison is 23 years old, 5 feet § inches, well built for a professional, aud jad three good races in his favor previous to this afternoon's work, is ___ THE SCENE OF aan RACE, ; ie Wee jay evening last pools have been aold free ly rome RAE and their character has changed as arrivals put inan appearance from New York, Philadelphia, Bostom ana elsewhere. ‘The | Pon mCnSrSene from Thursday has given wider knowledge of the fact that the races were m prospect, The scene of the sport was at the old Washington park, on the Pawtucket road, near which 18 Chase’s public house for man and beast, where the headquarters oi the pedestrians has been | during the waiting time of postponement. At two o'clock the p: and hotel were pretty well thronged, there being between one and two thou- sand persons present. Although the races were announced to commence at two o'clock, much time after that was occupied in preparing the | track, and It was past three o’clock when Crandall and Stratton caine up for the first race, which was 200 yards, for $00 a side. Candall won easily by twelve feet, in21\¢ seconds, It wasa very pretty contest the first hundred yards but alter that Stratton fell away very noeceventy. After much delay Young and Moulton came.up for the second race, distance 100 yards, for $500 » side. After a hal! hour’s delay and failing to get away, 4 pistol was placed in Patsey Shepard’s | hands, with the understanding the men should start at firing, but on the contrary, they went off before the pistol, and the referee decided no race and outside bets off, thus necessitating another trial, This caused much confusion, during which Smith and McMann put in an appearance tor the third race, though fourth on the programme. This was for $100 a side, 150 Jove and was won by Smith by about two feet, being a close, exciting race and causing much excitement, the time being 16m. 4s., and Young and Moulton failing to agree toa start, Kendrick and Allison came up tor their race—100 yards, $250 a side. This was a deciledly pretty race, fair and square. Ailison won by about two feet, in ten seconds. After a great deal of wrangling in reference to the Young and Moulton contest the former re- mained off the track, ie a@ disgusted assemblage adjourned, just before dusk, with much difference of opinion regarding tke disagreement. Patsy ene rd and his guest, Arthur Chambers, of New York, Were appealed to, but could effect no race except with risk of unnecessary blame falling upon Shepard, and so ended the foot races at Washington Park to-day. To-night Stratton reports himself so much injured by a strain that he shall pot venture another match. THE NATIONAL GAME. ——— Atlantics Madly Beaten by . Mataals—Seore 12 to 4 In the janie between the Mutual and Atlantic clubs, on the Union Grounds yesterday afternoon, the Brooklynites were taken into camp by the New Yorkers to the tune of 12 to4, From the first the The the Mutuals took the lead and maintained it to the close, hitting Britt with wonde ful freedom and playing a remarkably fine fielding game, In batting Allison took the lead, making four clear hits, and he also bore off the fielding honors trom the Mutual Club. Matthews has rarely been $0 effective in his prtch- ing as on this occasion, twenty ot the twenty-seven men put out by the Mutuals having been taken on the tly. For ihe Atlantics Remsen did the best wor fielding being a marvel of perfection, Boyd w also very effective. Lhe following is the score ;— ATLANTIC. B. PLA. RAB, P.

For several days past the citizen soldiery of tne “Third, Fourth, Sixth and Seventh regiments of infantry, @ company of cavalry and one of artil- lery, all comprising a brigade, have been as busy as bees preparing to storm the sight-seers of Cape May 10 the matter of holding a week’s encamp- ment there, Qartermaster General Perrine has been at the Cape himself for several days preparing for the reception of the troops to-morrow (Monday). ‘The cooks and commissary sergeants were ordered to be on hand and put the camp in order. Itis on a plot of ground known as the Miller Farm. Sev- eral fine bands have been engaged, and it is be- lieved that the belles of Cape May will have to en- case their hearts in steel, else the ‘bowld sojer boys” of their own State may steal them by battal- ions. It is a great pity that the unfortunate squab- ble between Colonel Drake and Brigadier General De Hart should have arisen to prevent these offi- cers from sharing in the work and the glory of the encampment, Among military men tn the State the whole affair is very properly regarded as a very big tempest in a very smail teapot, and springs from un- soldierly rivalry and jealousy. When ofticers get to quarrelling over petty personal grievances and ordering each other arrested, a very poor example is farnished to the rank and _ file. The condition of affairs among the Newark military grows worse rather than better, Here, too, the squabbling is among officers, Absurd attempts to entorce all the regulations of the regular a on the part of militia martinets, together wit pompous and extravagant notions In the matter of Cairo &c., have resulted only in depleting the ranks. Tn this way one very fine regiment has been reduced to @ mere skeleten of its former size, For giving vent, while off auty, to his opinion of a mat- ter that occurred while on auty, Captain Honey- well, of the First regiment, has been ordered ander arrest, so that another court martial is talked about Some time ago a number of the town bloods essayed to organize a crack corps, but as they could not all be officers the matter seems to have cracked len through. ‘een tat Fire Marshal Sheldon reports thirty-one fires for the past week, the estimated loss upon which is $91.00, ANG the Insurance $421,150 de Oe! On OL ow eci—Mutuale, 8; Atlantics 2. Umpire—swandell. Tine of Game—Two hours and fifteen minutes, Binet Bases by Brrore—Mutualy, 6 times; Atlantics, 2 times. Base Ball Notes.

The time speaks for itsel and shows that the yachts did not delay betwee! ports, The Magic and Josephine both arrived fro; the West later in the afternoon. 4 A meeting was held this morning on board th@ flagship Alarm, and the PROGRAMME FOR THE ENSUING WEEK was then fully discussed and arranged.
