8 ‘PROSPECT PARK FAIR GROUNDS, A GREAT DAY’S SPORT. Four Important Events Decided — Bluestone Maid the Winner of the $500 Match, Lady Emma the Postponed 2:30 Race, Ster- ling the Three-Minute Purse and American Girl the “Free-for- All’ Contest—Judge Fuller~ ton and Camors Beaten. Both in the character of the sport and matter of attendance the wind-up of the second autumn trotting meeting, at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds, was @ grand success, Four events— three that were “Iresh and new” and one that was continued from Thursday—were served for the amusement of the 2,500 persons present, and such was the result of the contests that everybody, jong before nightfall, left the track well Pleased with the amusement, whatever were the amounts of the cash balances they had on hand. There were probably more carriages within the enclosure of the grounds than had be- fore been noted this season, and in each of these were elegantly dressed ladies and enthusiastic attendants. The track was in fine condition, and ‘the day all that could be desired to make fast time. MATCH OF FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. First on the list was a match of $600, mile heats, dest three in five, in harness, between Wm. Rye son’s brown mare Bluestone Maid and R. F. Gal- Joway’s bay mare Mary. As the event was decided at the early hour of noon there were no pools sold, and the outside wagers were limited. Bluestone won the race in three straight beats, SUMMARY.

Next on the card was the decision of the post- poned 2:30 purse. It will be remembered that when darkness came on Thursday evening the grey gelding Ed. Eaton and bay mare Lady Emma had each two heats to their credit, with the betting in favor of the latter. When they were called for the word yesterday, at one o’clock, the Lady had increased in favor, an those who ven- ‘tured to suggest that ‘Eaton should win it’? were Spot goood much to their amazement. Those ‘who thought that Eaton had speed sufficient to become the winner “were out of their reckon- ing,” as Lady Emina, although last in getting away, was to the front at tne quarter pole in 313, seconds, to the hal-fmile in 1:13, and finished the heat in 2:29, two lengths ah of Jack Draper, who was one length in advance of Eaton. The latter made three bad breaks in the heat, the first approaching the quarter pole, the second on the barkstretch and the last on the lower turn, The question was very reasonably asked :—“If Eaton had been kept level couldn’t he have won the race?’ Tue conundrum was not answered, The following is a complete SUMMARY.

The first, second and third quarters re each trotted in thirty-five seconas. ‘Time, Third Heat,—Fuilerton’s backers now dropped him instanter, and the Girl sold the favorite, bring- ing $155, Camors $70 and Fullerton a rene, $6 They got the word the first attempt, with Fullerton leading slightly, American Girl and Camors head and head, It was evident that Mace intended business, as he sent Fullerton two lengths to the front on the turn, Camors second and the Girl one length in the rear. At the quarter pole, in 35 sec- onds, Fullerton was leading one and a half lengths, while Camors was being pushed to his utmost to beat the mare. Leaving this position tne Girl challenged Camors, and at the hall-mile pole, where Fullerton led one and @ half lengths, she had reached the black geld- ing, and from this time shook him off as she liked. Fullerton maintained his post of honor around the turn, but swinging into the stretch it was plain to be geen that Mace’s pet had got his fill, as Dan was compelled to draw the whip. Under this per- suasion Fullerton keptin front until the drawgate was reached, when the Girl made one of her old time bursts and collaring the Judge, recorded the verdict that she was “Queen of the Day,” as she beat bim home a neck in 2:22%4. Fullerton was three lengths ip front of Camors. Many backers of the Judge went home without a cent. SUMMARY.

FOUR FINELY CONTESTED EVENTS. ns Weathercock the Winner of the Central Stakos, Cora Linn the Selling Race, Stockwood the Gentlemen’s Post Stakes and Mate the Mile Heats, Three in Five. BALTIMORE, Oct. 24, 1873. The lovers of the turf attended the Pimlico course to-day in great numbers, the assemblage being fully as large as 1t was on the opening day of the meeting; but the ladies were not in such force, on account of the lowering skies in the morning. The sterner sex, however, were more numerous, and the receipts at the gates were larger than on Thursday, The weather in the afternoon was deligitful, and the track much im- proved, yet very slow, as the time of the winning horses will indicate. Four races were’ on the card, the first being the Central Stakes, for two-year-olds; the second a selling race, with the usual allowances of weight for price asked, the third,was a mem- bers’ race, and the fourth, mile heats, best three in five. The running was fine in ali of the contests, the Javorites in the first three races being beaten, and the “Talent” were heavy losers on the day in con- sequence, THE CENTRAL STAKES. The first event was the Central Stakes, for two- year-olds, one mile, $50 subscription, play or pay, the clubd to add $500, This stake ciosed with eight nominations, three of which came to the post. These were John F, Chamberlin’s chestnut colt Weathercock, by Australian, dam Weatherwitch; the same g-ntleman’s bay colt Visigoth, by As- teroid, dam Vandalia; and Pierre Lorillard’s um- ported brown colt Saxon, by Beadsman, dam Mile heats, best three in five, in harness; $300 to the first, $150 to the second and $50 to the third horse, Entered for this were nine horses, seven of which came for the word, these being Thomas O’Vonnor’s gray gelding Dawn, Charlies Pratt's chestnut gelding Sterling, James McKee’s sorrel elding Silver ‘Tail, John Moore’s bay mare Eiie ean, L. S. Sammis’ sorrel gelding Farmer Boy, Wiliam S, Thoms’ brown geiding Phil. O'Neal Jr., and Robert Fletcher’s bay mare Love. In the pools before the start the average was:—Sterling, $200; Silver Tail, $90; Farmer Boy, $50; Fieid, $40, Sterling won the race in three straight heats, with- out aneffort. In the second beat the sulky of the bay mare Love was accidentally upset by Puil ©’Neai colliding with her, and it was some time after the heat was finished that Israel Denton, the driver of the mare, putin an appearance to ex- plain. It was so satisfactory, however, that they allowed the mare to start in the next heat. Silver ‘Tail was distanced in the second heat, much to the | chagrin of his backers. SUMMARY.

To wind up the meeting was a ‘(ree-for-all” urse Of $3,500, mile heats, best three in five, in arhess ; $1,600 to first, $1,000 to the second, $550 to the third and $360 to the fourth horse. for these prizes were entered Wm. H. Humphrey’s chestnut gelding Judge Fullerton, John F. Mer- Tow’s black gelding Camors, William Lovell’s bay mare American Girl and Joseph Marker’s bay mare Gazelle, The latter was withdrawn, | fgg the three well-known flyers to come for the worg. Before the pools it was an accepted fact vy the majority that “Fallerton must win;” that @ horse whose owner was willing to match him against any “trotter in the world” for $10,000 must neces- sarily vanquish such competitors, and, conse. quently, the chestnut sold upon an average for the Fespectable sum of $350, while Camors brought the decent figure of $160, and American Girl, last on the list, $115. And at these amounts the Vea Was fast and furious. But as there are “many slips betwixt the cup and the lip” in ordinary, every-day affairs, it is not a mat- ter of great astonishwent that the occasion under consideration should become “littie mixea,” and, in reality, tt was so, as the old favorite but much abused American Giri won the race in three | straight heats, to the utter consternation and con- | fusion of the backers of Fullerton and Camors. The | contest Was unusually brilliant, and the Girl was | greeted with loud applause at the finish, First Heat.—In the pools the ruling prices were, Fullerton, $350; Camors, $160, and American Girl, The Girl won the pole, Camors second and jerton outside. At the eighth attempt they got | the word with the Girl a head in front 01 Camors, | who was half a length tn advance of Fullerton. | Around the turn Camors left his feet very vad and, before being caught, came to a dead stana- | still, At the quarter pole, in 35 seconds, American | Girl had the best of it by threé iengths; Fui- lerton second, fully twelve lengths atead of Camors. Down the backstretch the black lding still hobbled somewhat, and when fhe half-mile poie was reached, in ogg MH Girl heid the post of honor by two iengtns, jrullerton second, twelve lengths in advance of Camors. Along the lower turn the Girl trotted very steadily, and despite the exertions of Mace she led Fuiler- ton half a length entering the stretch, with Camors as before. Keeping up the steam Phifer sent the Girl along rattling pace, and landed her a winner of the heat by two lengths, Fullerton sec- ond and: Camors just in front tne distance flag.

Associate Tustioe Miller Considered as a Likely Appointment. Is Senator Conkling Qualified for the Southern Circuit ? Among the dignitaries on the bench of the Marine Court is Judge Joachimsen, whose wit, eloquence and erudition are well known to the legal fraternity. The Judge is a small man physically, with a large and remarkable head and face. He is as keen as a briar in argument, and as fluent and lucid in speech as a stream of water gushing from a mountain side. His features are full and striking. The presence of a warm, lively intellect shines through his eyes, which are as luminous as an ice crystal reflecting the unclouded rays of a noonday sup. His range of studies is extensive and his acquaintance with the best dead and living authorities in law is exact and compre- heusive, Having said this much it is time to mention that a reporter of the HERALD gave the Judge a call and inquired his views on the subject of the Chief Justiceship, “You did not mean,’ said the Judge, with a merry Rabelaisian twinkle in his eye, ‘to ask the opinions of aJudge of the Marine Court. You must know we are very humble folk.” REPORTER—We look for treasures of thought and wisdom everywhere, Judge. You know the poet’s lines— Full many a gem, &c.

(and the Judge laughed, then seriously said), If you would ask me my opinion as to the manT think most likely to be taken for the place of Chief Justice, I would say SUDGE MILLER, present Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and I will give you’ my reasons for it, In the first place he isan able and learned man. His decia- jons are remarkable for compactness of ideas and intimate knowledge of lew. When you read Mil- ler’s decisions you feel satisfied you are reading the language of a man who has mastered the sub- ject in hand so thoroughly as to leave no room jor exceptions—no room for supplement or addendum, He is thoroughly versed in patent law, and his general Knowledge is extensive. In the next place he 1s from the West, and the West is more likely to get the appointment than the East. There is already a representative of this State on the bench of the Supreme Court (Ward Hunt), and if the place be given to Mr. Ros- coe Conkling there will be two, which, would be uniair to the other sections of the country, ‘The judges of the Supreme Court should represent, as evenly as possible, the different parts o1 the na- on, 40 a8 to aggregate a complete knowledge of the whole. Rerorrer—Among the lawyers with whom you are acquainted in this city which wouid you prefer lor the position? O’CONOR AND EVARTS. Judge JOACHiMSEN—O’Conor would be a od man, and so would Evarts. Evarts has the advan- tage of O’Lonor in being younger, He has also the experience in his favor ol the Attorney General's Onice, of long practice in the federal Courts; and the part he took in the Alabama treaty business has given him an insigat ito international questions extremely useful to a Fy of the Supreme Court. Such a judge should be posted on all branches of law, should know the code of every State, and be especially weil versed in the rules of his own Court. There is another man who would fill the bill very well—Judge Randail Hiunt, of New Orleans. RePORTER—Then we should have two Hunts on the bench. Judge JOACHIMSEN.—No matter. We have already had a Chase there. Randall Hunt is a very accom- plished man in every way, and he, with Evarts and O’vonor, are the oaly three men I Know as lawyers who are fit to hold @ candle to each other. Yes, there is another man—Judge Campbell, of Ala- bama—but I suppose he is debarred irom apy office in the gift of the government. REPORTER—What do you think of Roscoe Conk- ling? QUALIFICATIONS OF CONKLING. Judge JOacHiMsEN—Well, if Conkling was Chief Justice, he would, | suppose, take the same circuit— Virginia and North Carolima—as the late Chief Justice Chase, The question is, would he be the man to conciliate these Southern people? REPORTER—Do you suppose his political preju- dices would influence his decisions? Judge JOACHIMSEN—I don’t suppose any of the Conkling jamily would act contrary to the honest dictates of lis conscience. Roscoe Conkling is a republican by pure conviction, an upright man, and an able one too, and with the assisiance of his associates on the bench of the Supreme Court would manage very well until he fully instructed himself, but would he meet with that prevénance irom the people among whom his circnit would take him? Chase was well received because his antecedents were peaceinl and conservative, his manner was suave and winning, Look at Judge Underwood, United States — Circuit Judge of Virginia. He 1s perfectiy isolated among the people. The Jawyers selves stand aloof from — contact him, His poiitical partisanship was carried so far into his judicial practice that he lost confidence and respect as a judge, and his name became odious to the people. low different was the case ol Chase, who, in spite of his prominence in the war aaministration, managed, by his moderation and manners, to secure least the respect ol the South! Conkling, however, is a young man, com- paratively, and may learn @ diferent style trom at Ls ributed to him, Caleb Oushing is a name that occurs to me also. He ts an authority on international questions, and has read almost everything; but I think the choice of the lawyers wouid be Judge Miller. Of course the President has other names to consider that we know nothing, about. There are as good fish in the sea as ever were caught, and we don’t know but there are LAWYERS IN THE GREAT WEST, where all the talent and where the hope of the nation is, as great as any we know of here among ourselves, REPORTER—Do you believe in having the politics of the judges in harmony with the administration? Judge JOACHTIMSEN—It bas always been the case. All the federal courts are in harmony with the a ministration. It is not so in England, but we manage these things differently in this country. Of course the jndges will have their individual sen- timents in politics, but in the decisions they ren- der care 1s taken that the views and policy Of the government are sustained, REPORTER—Can a politician make a good judge? Judge Joacuimsex—Decidediy. There are nu- merous cases of the kind, There was Smich Thompson, who was a fe but a lawyer be- ‘Kides; he went to the Bench atter being Secretary of the Navy and made a first rate jnlp, especial! in everything relating to maritime iaW. As politi- cian or Cabinet oficer a man can learn much that Will prove of value to. him as a judicial omicer. Views of Judge Freedman, The question of the Chief Justiceship interests in the same degree members of the Bench and Bar alike. Generally the subject has aroused consider- able attention from the lawyers of the country, and the selection President Grant intends to make is awaited with as much eager interest as a Presidential nommation. A reporter of the Henarp calied on Judge John J, Freedman, of the Superior Court, and = in- quired his views in the “matter by asking, “In the appointment of a man to fill the place of Chief Justice Chase who would you deem the best selec- tion—a lawyer pure and simple or a politician of legal antecedents?” z Judge FreepmMan—I have given the subject no great amount of thought, but I should preter to see @ lawyer, pure and simple, elevated to that high office, A weil trained lawyer, who has given his years to the study of his profession, who has extended his researches into all THE COMPLEX JURISPRUDENCE of our legal system and practised in both State and federal courts, is the one that is wanted in the seat of Chiet Justice of the Supreme Court. I may admit that the experience of politics infuses into the practice of law @ more catholic spirit of judg- ment and a@ more extended knowledge of men and motives; but while the acquaintance with the prin- ciples of law and the various characterizations of legal science which go to make up the full com- Jement of a leading lawyer's aequisitions cannot pe too great nor too thorough, may permit his ‘experience of politics to go tor naught, It amounts (to this, that while a candidate for tue bench of the Supreme Conrt cannot bring too much legal jearn- ing in nis recommendation, he can afford to be slient on the extent of his political expertence, ‘There have been @ few instances Where the attain- ments of the politician and the great lawyer were united {n one person, and the results proved eml- neutly satisfactory; but such cases are rare, THE SCIENCE OF LAW as it stands nowadays in this country, with all ita elaborate divistons, Ite countless variety of shades and its vast array of precedenta, 18 not learned ina few years.

It is here a cent mind will manifest itself, It will place the ts of law clear and palpable in the foregroun illuminated by the light of thought pure, broad an comprehensive enough to render a judgment Clear, dignified and e1 ‘tened. O'CONOR AND EVARTS, REPORTER—What names suggest themselves to you for the office of Chief Justice ¥ Judge FREEDMAN—My choice would certainly be Charles O’Conor, who is a lawyer in the widest and highest acceptation of the term, Nine-tenths of the lawyers of this city would make him their selection if they were cailed upon. O’Conor’s knowledge is solid. He is no meretricious practi- tioner dealing in words and rounded periods. He has dipped deep dowa in his study and commands an unequalled acquaintance with the intricacies and complexities of law. He has a fine analytical mind and can bring out the kernel of a case loaded down with a mountain of argument and statement, clearer than most men. William M. Evarts would be my second choice for the position, He is learned and eloquent together, and his reading has been Most extensive, It is to be hoped ifthe choice of President Grant {8 not of either of these two men that it will at least be of one of @ similar character as a lawyer as O’Conor or Evarts, LITERARY CHIL-CHAT.
