| » TROTTING AT WHITE PLAINS, 7. An Immense Display of West- chester Beauty. Ten Thousand People on the Pair Grounds. The Trotting and Running Satisfactory—Thurs- day's Unfinished Trot Won by Lookout— Lady Powell the Winner of the Four- Year-Old Purse, Brown Prince of the 2:42 Premium and Hattie O'Neil of the Bunning Race, ‘The fourth day of-the annual meeting of thi) Society of Agriculture and Horticulture of West. chester county passed away as pleasantly yester- day as did any of the preceding. The fair grounds ‘were more densely filled with Westchester’s sons and daughters, it being estimated that no less than 10,000 were in the enclosure during the after- noon, and a more happy and delighted multitude ‘Were never seen. Early in the morning people began to assemble, ana at ten o’ciock the unfinished trot of the day be- tore was called on. When the postponement took place on Thursday evening on account of darkness Mr. Bellinger’s chestnut gelding Break 0’ Day had scored two heats, and George Moore’s bay gelding one heat; but yesterday morning Lock Ous won two heats and the race. Below will be found a complete summary of the event. On the regular programme of the day were two + trotting and one running race, the first being for four year old trotters, mile heats, in barness. There were four entries, three of which came to ‘the post, comprising Z. Carpenter's gray filly Laay Powell, Mr. Nelson’s black colt Black Jack, and Otis Bort’s brown gelding Ziba Carpenter. The trot was won by Lady Powell very easily in two heats, Black Jack second. ‘The purse for horses that had not beaten 2:42 was ext called on. For this event, which was mile heats, best three in five, in harness, there were ten entries, seven of which came to the post, ‘These were Otis Bort’s brown gelaing Brown Prince, Daniel Delay’s brown mare Lady Wood, W. §& Thompson’s sorrel gelding Robert Isaac Woodruff’s bay mare Little Fraud, D. B. Herrington’s black horse Mohawk, Charles,Heinzel’s brown gelding Central Boy, and MM W. Olcott’s chestnut gelding Dick Yates, When ‘the horses began to score it was discovered that the driver of Robert Dickson was a colored man, to whom John Murphy, who was behind Ventral Boy, made some objections to “nigge trotting races.” Murphy appealed to the judges ‘to have the colorea driver removed, or he would Rot le Central Boy to victory. Murphy de- that the trotting drivers of this part of the country never would submit to have a colored man drive a borse with them, and that he would never @rive where such an outrage was tolerated. Tne Judges took the matter into consideration, and ‘then informed Mr. Murphy that he could retire, as could all the others, if they thougnt them- Selves aggrieved by the presence of the man of color.. Murphy was how- ‘ever, that ret and the race p! him. It would be well for him to forget his folly a8 goon a8 ible, a8 such conduct wiil be detri- mental to asa public man. The judges were ed for the stand they took in the premises. objection to a colored man’s driving a trotting horse in arace has been many times brought be- Jore judges, but never since the war; and now the question has been settled to rest on constitutional . and that color will no longer be a bar on : trotting turfi The ‘was very interesting, Mr. Olcott's chestnut gel Dick Yates winning tne first heat, and Otis s brown gelding Brown Prince the three subsequent. ones and the race. The winner 4s a capital trotter, rather small jn stature; but he has @ rapid, long stride that makes up for his de- ficiency in height. There were three prizes in this Face, The first being won by Brown Prince, the second by Dick Yates, and the third by ‘Wood. a tad Little Fraud were distanced in the it Tne running race was for a purse of $200, mile ts. ‘There were'six neice ~ it, aren two came to the post, these being Jose; nahue’s Hattie.

KENTUCKY ASSOCIATION. Fifth Day of the Fall Running Mecting at Lexington—Grand Attendance and Fine Racing—Fast Time—Stanford the Winner of ¢ Produce Stakes and Astral the Colt and Filly Stakes. LEXINGTON, Sept. 12, 1873, ‘There was 8 large crowd at the Kentucky Asso- ciation course to witness the two races on the card for the fifth day, and many were disappointed, as neither race was closely contested. The two-mile heat race was finished the first heat} as Stanford Gistanced Mandarin, his only opponent. THE PRODUCE STAKES. The first race was two-mile heats, Produce Stakes, for three-year-olds, which closed with eight nominations, but only two came to the post, these being W. B. Withers’ bay colt Stanford and A. K. Richards’ chestnut ¢olt Mandarin, First Heat.—The start was a@ good one, with Stanford leading by about one length, which he increased at will to four, finishing the first mile, Then he began to make some of his tremendous strides, and opened a gap of many lengths. In going up the hill there could be heard through the crowd, “Mandarin will be distanced,” but no one hardly believed it. In coming up the homestretch Stanford again tried himself, and passed under the string so far in front as to distance his competitor. ‘The time, 3:40%, was not fast, but very creditable. It will be remembered that Littleton ran over this coursein 8:34}, when it was in better condition than itis now. The last mile was run to-day by Stanford in one which, we believe, is the tastest time ever made for the second mile of a two mile race. SUMMARY.

The Finest Contest on Record—Fourteen Innings and the Score 3 to 2=—-Twenty- four Whitewashes, The Philadelphia and Atlantic Clubs played on the Union Grounds yesterday afternoon the finest game by all odds ever contested anywhere or at any time, it being found necessary to play four- teen innings before either side could claim the victory. The interest centred in the balloon ascension doubtless deterred a large number of People from attending, and not more than 500 were on the grounds, consequently there are @ large number of the devotees of the national game who are sick to-day, and who would have seen the balloon, Wise and Donsidson in Halifax before they would have missed the game had they known what an extraordinary one it was gomg tobe. The longest game on record heretofore between professional clubs has been one of thirteen innings, and therefore this takes precedence, not only in the number of innings re- quired to finish it, but m the smaliness of the score, as well as the interest and excitement attendant on it, Noticeable in the crowd was an ardent ad- mirer of the Philadelphians—a corpuration of at least 250 pounds avoirdupois—who, in his excite- ment, as the Atlantics would go out to the fleld inning after inning, turned somerset after som- erset, shaking the ground and all near him, It ‘was but natural that the contestants should share in the excitement, and when the climax arrived tm the fourteenth inning another such a mixed-up lot were never seen on @ ball ground. Still, fewer errors were made than could ve ex- pected, and the result was that out of twenty-eight turns at the bat runs were only scored in four. In the whole fourteen innings the Atlantics tallied but once. The fielaing was exceptionally good, but, as in the course of 80 lohg a game every man on the Atlantic side hada chance to make good, brilliant plays, it would be invidious. to mention any names. the White 8toc! the same can be said, with the exce] tion of Malone, who seemed towards the end to weakening, as he missed several fouls in the most miserable, worthless manner. Four times in suc- cession Booth struck fouls which went directly to Malone, and four times in succession that same player dropped them. The newrule says, how- ever, ‘five times and out,’ and this case proved no exception, for he finally managed to hang on one of them, and Booth took a back seat. But for Burdock’s unfortunate slip in the fourteenth inning a filteeath would have been necessary, and the probability is that darkness ne would have endea the game, This misiortune gave the Philadel. phians the coveted run, ended the game, and saved score ef excited individuals from becoming com- letely demented. Hats were ata discount, beavers be: fn and kicked around with a looseness: in.favor of several cases of “emotional insanity.” Some one had to win however, and the Philadelphians have that honor, though the Atlantics are far from losing any credit, and have the satisfaction of causing at once the longest and best game on record this or any other season. At punt niinnies before four o'clock play was called, the White Stockings going first to the bat. Notwithstanding Malone and Devitn each made a base hit no rans were scored. Barlow led off with one of his intmitaple tair fouls and earned his bag; but the next three strikers failed to reach first base. Things moved along very nicely until the ‘fifth inning, when the visitors got in a run through an error by Britt. In the next inning they took another, which was at once offset by the Atlantics ing two. Now canfe the tug of war. Inning after Inning. was played un! the ninth was reached and passed, and still each side. A layed, but without on the score, and amid the most intense excitement the eleventh inning was entered upon. But it was no use; each side retired in the order of striking, and inie the twelith they went. One, two, three the strikers retired just as iastas they could toe the plate, the fielding by the Atlantics being of the most beautiful description. Atit they went in the thirteenth inning, and, although the Philadel- phbians got five men to bat and the Atlantics four, neither of them could work @ man around the bases. ‘The boys went to work ‘in the fourteenth inning to do or die, Devlin leading off for the Quakers with a hit to Ferguson, who muffed it. Bechtel was well taken on the fly by Pabor, and then Fulmer tried Pearce with a scorch- ing hot grounder, but Dickey juggled it and Devlin went to second, and Fulmer to first. Treacy hit a long fly to right field and Booth misjudged it. ‘Things were now all confusion. Booth picked. the ball up sharply and threw it to Burdock, who wheeled around in time to catch Devlin about mid- way between the third and home bases. Burdock ran in and in an instant near! all the players of both clubs were hovering the vicinity of third base. Burdock, Ferguson, Pearce and Barlow closed in on Deviin and should have had him easily, but just as Burdock drew back to throw the ball to Ferguson he slipped and in 4 golng down threw wild, the ball passing wide of Fer; gon, and letting Deviinget home. ‘This won the game for Philadelphia, for, although the Atlantics tried never so hard, they could not again tie the score.

SHOOTING AT OREEDMOOR, A detachment of about sixty men of the Ninth regiment, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Hitchcock, were at Creedmor yesterday afternoon practising for the October contest. The shooting ‘Was at 200 and 500 yards, and was the best average yet made by the mili being twelve at 200 yards and ten at 500 yards, The rest of the regiment will go out next week, when a team of twelve will be chosen for the October contest.

At three o’clock the first event ‘of the day com- menced, which was a challenge contest for the badge of the club, between Mr. J. P. Felker (who who won it some time back from Mr. Rapp) and Mr. R. K. Buckman, the secretary of the club. The match was conducted under the usual rules, with ‘Hand Ttrap, twenty-one yards rise, elghty yards boundary and one and a quarter ounce of shot. At the commencement of the match betting was a trife im favor of Buckman. The weather was all that could be desired, a gentle southern breeze reltevi: the sultriness of the air, while trees shaded the sportsmen from the rays oi the sun. At a few minutes past three o’clock Messrs. Hughes and Dunlop were seiected judges, and a few sec- onds afterwards the “feathers commenced to fly.” From the following score of twenty-five birds each, it will be seen that Mr. Buckman was tne winner :— THE SCORE. ° Mr. R.

Mr. Felker’s shooting was good, but not up to his usual average, At the conclusion of the contest for the badge ten members shot for the silver cup of the Club (which is competed (ocavery. sixty days), and was, until yesterday, held by Mr. Biauvelt. The contest- ants Were handicapped. Each of the ten entries had five birds to shoot at. The winner of the cup proved to be Mr. Charles Townsend.

The Indictment of Irving—The Papers to Extradite Him Being Prepared—Old Indictments Found for Other Burg- laries, and Why He Is Not Tried—A Mat- ter for a Grand Jury Investigation. All the facts bearing upon this case, that it 1s proper to publish until after Irving, the Valiforhia “confessor,” arrives in this city have appeared in these columns. As already announced exclusively in the HERALD of yesterday, an indictment was found by the Grand Jury of the Court of Oyer and Terminer on Thursday against Irving for the Chatham street burglary with a view of extra- diting him, and yesterday Assistant District At- torney Allen, who, from the first, has ably and energetically assisted the Superintendent, Captain Kennedy and the Grand Jury, made out the necessary papers to be placed before the Gov- ernor. It is not likely, aowever, that Mr. Matsell will despatch Officers to California for the man until Governor Dix, who is now at his residence on Long Island, returns, about the middle of the week, to his office at Albany and makes out the pete les There ig no ur inthe case, as Irving is tn jailon the Pacific coast and cannot very Well escape the law officers. A reporter yes- terday met Detective Field, of the Fifth precinct, who declared that he had two indictments hanging over Irving for burgiary. One is for the robbery of Simpson’s pawn , at No, 181 Bowery ; the other for the burglary at the silk warehouse of Linten, Kingsland & Co., in Lispenard street. These in- dictments were found lopg ago, and, strange to say, while Detective Field declares that he has the evidence ret at any moment, and has long been ready toconvicthim, Irving was admitted to ball across the hall from the District Attorney's Ottice, and has never had his cases called on. Mr. Field does not know whether these indictments have been stolen from the District Attorney's Ofice, are pigeon-holed there or are still hanging over this accomplished thief, liar and burglar; but District Attorney Phelps ought to cause an investigation. mung’ boast, the morning after the Nathan mur- der, that he would NEVER GO TO STATE PRISON because he “had influence behind him” may have referred to the District Attorney’s Ofice and the police officials under the old régime; but the nineteen firms mentioned in the HERALD as having been robbed by this tar and raMan_ and his asso- ciates will, no doubt, compel Mr, Phelps to un- earth these old indictments that Mr. Allen so re- luctantly admitted yesterday to a reporter were found long, long ago. Irving’s boast and the fact of his escape from indictments found are certain matters that the Grand Jury should take cogni- wunce of at once, and were Detective Field and Irving’s bondsmen summoned to-day before the Grand Jury possibly they might let a little light into some dark transactions. It is not yet known who will be despatched to California to Ee this man back, but great care should be: taken by Mr. Matsell that they are not ersons open to the suspicion of having in the past en instrumental in shielding this burglar, who is @ disgrace to @ respectable family that long ago disowned him. ‘MR. MATSELL'S RETICENOE. after the above had been written a visit was Raid to superintendent Matsell, who showed a isinclination to converse on the case, and the only facts drawn out of him as to the mysterious disappearance of the “dog” and the testimony secured by Mr, Jourdan in the case, and the old in- dictments held over Irving, was that he knew of the indictments which were found in Mr. Jourdan’s time, and possibly Mr. Jourdan had very good reasogs for all he did in the case.

A Correction. ‘to THE EviTor OF THE HERALD:— Your article in yesterday’s issue, headed “An- other Batch of Tammany Claims,” does great injus- tice to Messrs. Traphagen,, McClave and Seaver, the Commissioners for opening the public drive Irom 156th street to the Kingsbridge road at In- wood street. In the first place they were appointed by Judge Brady in October, 1872, not in 1870-71, and no poli- tical influences were used to secure their appotnt- ment. Judge Brady has often stated that he in- tended that it should be a model commission, hence he appointed Mr, Traphagen, an eminent lawyer, well versed in law relating to real estate; Mr. McClave, a well Known real estate broker, especially conversant with the value of unim- proved real estat@in the upper part of the island, and Mr. Seaver, President of the Adriatic Insur- ance Company, & position that renders him an ex- pert in the valuation of butidings, ‘These gentlemen did not employ any appraisers, being fully capable of making the valuations them- selves, and appointed myself, a real estate broker, having a knowledge of the methods of making the calculations necessary for the proper adjustment of awards and assessments, as their clerk. Again, their iees, as charged, allowed and taxed, were only $5,000, and not $7,500, as stated, this lat- ter being the amount which Mr. Traphagen re- covered under mandamus for his services as Com- missioner on the Riverside Park. As to the law of 1862, eminent lawyers hold that it does not apply to streets not on the map of 1818; at any rate Mr. Green paid one of the Commission-. ers for opening Madison avenue extension $1,250, which, if the law of 1862 was applicable, siould be redyced to $400 or thereabouts. ‘The length of the public drive is 15,216 feet— nearly three miles, e surveys were made in the depth of winter.

THE CHIOAGO REVENUE DEFAULTER A Miee Little Whiskey Ring Discovered— Friends of the Defaulting Collector in Trouble.

Demoralization Among the Congrezation—Ru mered Troubie in the Other African Meth- odist Churches—The Accused Tras tees to Sne for Damages on the Charge of Base Slander. Yesterday the greatest excitement was man fested by the colored people of the Kighth, Ninth, Filteenth, Sixteenth and Twentieth wards, conse quent upon the publication im the Hana. of the Star Chamber tn juisivion held upoe the eleven alleged embezzitng trustees af the suthvan street Methodist Colored church, on Thursday evenings A great wumber of our colored fellow citizens, whe talk from hearsay merely, are very « ncatory of the trustees, and loadily proclaim thas they have stolen the moneys of the church, which had been entrusted te ther safe keeping. On the other hand there @ @ small but select minority of sensible Wei-to-do col ored peopie which condemns the entre procesa- ings of the trial and judgment, giving a» 4 reasom that the trial should pot have been held pabticty, a8 it was not a matter for the whole worl to look at, the scandal which was exposed on Thursday night being greatiy detrimental to the welfare and success of the African Methodist chureh in this city, ARE THE OTHER AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CRUROHES ROTTEN f A humber of prominent colored persons con- nected with congregations of the diferent Africam Methodist churches in New Yark—the Fifteenth Street, the Allen street, the Little Zion church, im Second avenue; St. Mark's, in West Thirty-0tn street, and the Ziou church in street—were conversed with yesterday by KRALD representa tive in regard to this ecclesiastical fracas, and many of them Were of the opinion that the action of the Bethel chureh congregation had been unwise, hasty and undignified Three colored clergymen were spoken to about the matter, but declined to be interviewed on the ticklish subject. One weli known colored clergyman, however, on promise that his name should not be given, said to the reporter :— “Iwas in the Bethel church on Thursday even- ing, and I felt ashamed of our colored people, & just tell you. Now just think of the voting an@ how it was done; why, it put all the repeating that ever you heard of to shame, I aasure you that £ saw over fifty of my own congregatiof voting who had no business in the Bethel church at all, except+ ing they met there to cali a the Saviour who died ior us all in His mercy.

I bélteve myseit that some of the those eleven trustees were guilty Misappropriating money belonging wo Bethel church, but IT wo not that any one of them wilfully and delibe: stole or abstracted moneys of the church. And if they had stolen money they should be arrested by the police and taken before a magistrate, where the charge of embezziement should be preferred against them by the pastor of the church and the remaining or present trusteees who were ac' Piped ofthe theft. But to turn the house & circus just for the purpose of giving somee foolish white ple @ chance to laugh at us, is almost criminal, and certainly it is & blunder, Which was pronounced by a great Denyny and lawgiver to be Worse than @ d as for the other African Methodist chut of New York, I grieve to say that some of them are in @ worse condition than the Bethel church, It is not to be expected that poor, ignorant like Copeland, who could only make his and who never learned to write, should have a very high order of rectitude. I know that some of the Airican churches are in a bad way, and if these men should take the matter to the Supreme Court disclosures may be made that will invoive some of the other churches in great trouple. The Metho- dist Church, ever since the Lanahan Book Concern difficulty, has been getting scandauzed more and more, and | don’t care how soon an Medeor on is made. Look at the swindle on that poor lady At Sea Clif and other things of a like nature which are occurring trom day to day. These matters should be remedied as soon as possible, or the public will begin to cry out at Methodism as they did at Tweed and Ingersoll.” . HOW THE CULPRITS BEAR IT. The accused trustees are all men in poor circant stances, being whitewashers or carpet-shakers, Smith Green is a laborer, “Old Man” Copeland is a whitewasher, and Jake Stewart is a carpet win- nower, All the rest of the men are im rather humble circumstances edu- i i and are not cated. That they should not be able to defend themselves when their counsel had but one day’s notice for preparation of defence is not wondertul. And that detence had to be made before an excited and angry mob, not one in five of whom had a right to vole on such @ question. The pastor refused to have the roll of contributing Members callea, and there was no way to ascertain who was a legal voter. The different trustees reiused to open their “heads,” in the elegant language of their counsel, Colonel Spencer, They say that they are inno- cent—every man of them—all agree that they “never did nothing to nobody,”” WHERE THE MONEY WENT, One of the trustees who borrowed $25 (rom the church treasury returned $ and he in- tended to return the remainder, but it now stated that he will retain the $15 to await the action of the Supreme Court, The Rev.

This money was joaned without any warrant or authority from the church, and Mr. in Will be to return it to the Bethel Treasury. total receipts of the Bethel church, whigh is in debt during the last nine yeara@mounted and the amount accounted for by the Board of Trastees was only $53,730 35.

AS one of the con tion stated yesterday to our reporter, “We'll let_ the fifty-three cents go if they’ll give us back the rest.” A LUCKY STRIKE, It is said that one of the trustees, wifo has been fraud and embezzlement, and who is accused of very fond of playing, policy, played “9” “first” im * the Kentucky lot “ery and struck the books for $500, Another man, but who has a white face, struck the same lottery for $600 on number ‘9"’ “first” yester- day, being a good dreamer.
