AMERICAN JOCKKY CLUB. Third Day of the Summer Meeting 4 at Jerome Park. A BRILLIANT ATTENDANCE. Propiticus Weather, Delighted Thousands and Splendid Sport. DIVE GRAND RACES. Saxon the Winner of the Be’mont Stakes, Meco the Juvenile takes, Bingaman the Mile anda Half Dash, Katy Pease the Mile Heats, and George West the Steeplechase. The third day of the spring meeting of the | American Jockey Club at Jerome Park may truth- fully be classed among the pleasing successes of «the association, More glorious weather than that f yesterday could not be desired jor outdoor en- Joyment. Although during the early morning the sky became occasionally overcast the temperature , Was simply delightiul, the air being delicious and invigorating. It was just the atmosphere to arouse the sympathy and kindle the imagination, when Dature lights aud warms the hopes of generous humanity; when the spirit, overburdened witha the cares of life, and the wear and fret of the everyday, hard, mathematical routine ef buginess and profession, seeks rest and closer acquaintance with the broad ficlds and glowing landscapes, The disciples of “Poor Richard,” however, whose first and great com- Mandments are multiplication and adaition, may smile at the idea of leaving their tavles of usury and interest and discount for the sake of driving their families into the country in search of health- ful rational amusement. They delight to see society prostrate herself before money as a treasure and possession, as a dignity and princt- Pality, with a degrading and tortuous homage. For these sordid exceptions among us the bright sunlight, the gay ioliage, the rushing stream, , the race course and the interchange of social amenities have no charm, no attraction, for the mere love of acquisition and hoarding smothers every noble aspiration, every principle that is pure and every quality that is generous and lofty. But to those desiring a happy medium—relaxation and enjoyment—no more desirable pastime could be offered than a journey to Jerome Park under Circumstances similar to those of yesterday; and Weare too glad to observe that so many of our cttizens availed themselves of the opportunity so presented, and the hegira from the city com- menced early, evidently intent on making the most of the day. Central Park never seemed more e@harming; the air was filled with the periume from tree and flower: the lovely walks were filled with pedestriaus, while the main drive was thronged ‘with vehicles of all descriptions, conveying thou- Sands of pleasure-seekers Lo the races, who seemed ell gayety and happiness, As the long procession of brightly caparisoned horses and shining. equipages dashed out of Filth ave- ue into the Mall, and the crack of the whip and the sound of merry laughter broke upon she air, we were reminded once more of the days when the wealthy and intelligent of the South devoted so much time and treasure to the cul- tivation of the sport whichis now developing 80 favorably in our midst. Itis certain that neither London, Paris nor Vienna could have exhibited a g@tander display of equipage than those that gracea omr avenues and drives yesterday, A journey to Epsom, Longchamps or Neustadt might be attended with more boisterous mirth and more damagea hats, perhaps. But the majority of sigtitseers took the quicker method of arriving at Fordham by rail—certainly the quickest and most disagreeable. To sit for ‘birty-five or Jorty minutes mm ua car filled after the fashion of certain city railroad cars, with @ passenger laying claim to each of your knees for sitting space, can scarcely be agreeable. But then the passenger is to some extent compensated for this inconvenience by the excitement at the end of the journey, the gay , chattering and good humor, the pell-mell rushing for the nearest bypath and the aclightful range of halt a mile in a most charming country, studded with timber and adorned with a coat of the most deligbtiul emecraia. Some 6,000 avatied them- selves of this methed of reaching the Park. The attractions at the course were manifold, ‘The first surprise for the visitor on entering the ground was the immense array of spectators, At least 8,000 persons were present in the club house, the walks and in the grand stand by two o’clock. ‘the club house was all animation and gayety. Several hundred ladies occupied the balconies, and quietly surveyed the interestgng scenery at all points of view through their feld glas3es, And the-variety 0: dress was coequal with the briiliancy of the weather, Instead of the sombre black, 80 prominently noticed on the two previous days of the meeting, we saw tue favorite bine, the delicate lavender and iilac and the rich orange— more in keeping With tne surroundings, tue rich verdure and the sweet-scented blossoms, ‘The gentiemen, too, appeared more in harmony in | poms of toilet than on the previous occasions. ‘Above all, the exceilent taste and decorum exbib. tea by the ladies—of whom about 1,000 were present—snowed how thorvughly they appreciated ‘the pleascare of the occasion, setting an example that even those less biessed by nature and education with tastes and accomplish- ments could not fali to observe. In ‘an- Other gense the presence of the large body ol the ladies strengtheus the opinion that even the race course can be 80 refined and elevated that even thoke who turn racing into a trade and ‘whom bitaerto no talent couid dignify, may in the futare learn to prescribe tue lmuts of weir pro- fession. ‘he ladies and geutiemen walked about the grounds with evident plegsure, nota singie instance ol rudeness or misconduct bemg reported during the aiternoon. The view {rom the balcony | of the club house at about three o’ciock was both exciting and gratifying, [Hundreds of visitors were constantly passing and repassing the evenly mown slopes between the nouse and the grand stand; the stand was literally packed, even before the first race, and the space between it and the course wags uiso filled With well-dressed men, who kept on the move between the judges’ stanad and the pool sellers. AWay still lurther to the right im a south. easterly direction the banks above the roud lead. ing to the grand stand were literally biack with people, who preferred to witness the racing and She wore privileged spectators in this gratuttous Manuer. In the rear of the grand stand and ex. tending to the spaces north and south we counied 00 vehicles of dilferent Kinds, At one end of rhe grand stand long lines of persons were crowding to the French pools, each having ‘the exact amount” wherewith to buy lus lavortie, At tne other, or north end, a festive littic man was sell. ing pools in the most ordinary #uctioneering was the whole of the and when lechase was over and al the “hi trom severa! thousand Bi Non wae sill sufficient recreation to re- aed ‘visitor in the deligbtiul ride back to town the soit twilight, THE RACING. The track was in capital condition, the weather very suitable jor fast, strong running, and the Management of the racing generally was more per- fect than we ever remember seeing on any race course in this country. Five events came off, the first being the American Derby, the Belmont Stakes; then iollowed the Juvenile Stakes, for two- then a dash of a mile anda half; next, mile heats, and the day’s sport closed with a steeplechase. The first race was the Belmont Stakes, which closed with fifty-three nominations, and had nine starters, comprising D. Swigervs chestout colt Elxhorn, T. Puryear’s bay colt Grinstead, M. H. Sanford’s bay colt Brigend, J, Carter Brown’s bay colt Court Hampton, H. P. McGrath's bay coit Aaron Penningtoa, P. Lorillard’s brown colt Saxon, M. A. Littell’s bay colt Reform, Dennison & Crawiord’s chestnut colt Rutherfard and August Belmont’s gray colt Stee] Eyes, Brigand had the call in the betting just before the start, Grinstead, Steel Eyes and Aaron Pennington being also very much in favor and sold alternately fur second choice, a8 each of the owners of the favorites was sanguine of winning the race. A fielder, Saxon, however, proved the winner, Grinstead second, Aaron Pennington third, The race was won by a neck, a half length dividing the second and th.rd, Steel Eyes was a good jourth and Brigand a capl- tal fifth. The result proved a great win for the -outsiders, the Paris mutuals paying $239 60 lor every $6 Invested, The second ¥ two-year-olds, > « was the Juvenile Stakes for closed with thirty-two nomi- nations, of which. “aber fifteen came to the post. These were F, Mc. .8' bay filly by Eclipse, D. D. Withers’ chestout filly by Marsyas, August Bei- mout’s bay coit Matador and his chestnut filiy Caroline, Hunter & ‘Traver’s chestnut filly Aus- tralind and Rey colt Gyro, P. Loriilard’s bay filly Venango, J. W. Hunt Reynoits’ chestuut filly Antella, ‘Thomas Puryear’s chestnat colt Meco and his chestnut colt Weazel, H. P. McGrath's chestaut colt Aristides, D, McDaniel’s chestnut colt Willie Burke, P, Lorillard’s bay colt Risk, Jonn F, Chamberlin’s gray filly Lizzie RK. and . A. Litteli’s chestnut filly, sister to Silk Stockings, A. Belmout’s entries were the favorites, McUrath’s Aristides the second choice, Puryear’s two bemg the next tn favor. One ul the laiter—Meco—won the race, John F. Chamberitn’s aster to Artist bemg second, J. W. Hunt Reynolds’ filly third. This was @ capital run race and the time was excellent. Great satisiaction Was mant- fesied im the manner in which the youngsters were started by Mr. Conner. tis the most aifi- cult office of tie starter to get a large fleld of two- year-oids off in anything like order, and sometimes an hour has been wasted in the vain effort. On this Occasion, however, Ly were started in a cluster and ran a very excellent and satisfactory Tace to both owner aid spectator, ‘rhe third race was @ dash of a mile and a half, under penalties, ‘There were six starters, com- eee oe H. Sanfora’a brown horse Bingaman, . A. Littell’s brown gelding Wizard, W. W. Gienws chestnut colt Merodac, P. Lorillard’s chestnut horse be Blacksmith, P. Lorillard’s bay colt Cariboo and D. McDaniel’s bay filly by Red Dick. Merodac was the favorite in the pool sales, Bingaman second choice, Wizard and the filly bringing the like amounts. Bingaman won a capi- tal race, Merodac second, the filly third and Wizard last—the latter having taken to his old tricks of sulking beiore he finished the race. He was beaten nearly 100 yards by the filly, The race on the homestretch between Merodac and Bingaman was very spirited and exciting, The iourth race was mile heats,and had for starters M. A. Littell’s chestnut colt Fellowcraft , T, B. & W, R. Davis? chestnat horse Fadladeen, D, MoDaniei’s chestnut fily Katy Pease and H. P. Mc- Grath’s bay mare Jury. Katy Pease was the favor- ite at about two to on over the field. The specu- lators were right in making their heavy invest- meuts on Katy Pease, as she Won the racein two straight heats, making the quickest time ever made on the Jerome Park course—viz., 1:43 1:44, Old Fadladeen ran at Katy tne firet heat and Jury tried to run her down on the second. It*was no use, however, a3 she Won, 48 they say in the South, “hands down.’! ‘VUhe fifth and closing event of the day was a steeple chase, which had for starters Joseph Donauue’s chestnut gelding George West, Law- rence ard G. Lorillard’s chestnnt welding Bullet, M. A. Littell’s bay mare Henrietta and his gray mare Mary Ciark. Major Green’s chestnut gelding Crown Prince was also entered, but was with- drawn beiore the start for want of arider. The betting was very ees even between George West and Bulict, M. A, Litteli’s team selling well up, Gvorge West won the race very easily. Hen- jetta tell and threw her rider early in the race, and Mary Clark and Bullet ren the wrong Way, and, having to go back, George West had an easy Hnish to himsell. Thia Tace was nothing like so good @ one as that of Wednesday last on account Of the mistakes, The following are the details of the racing as it progressed :— .

Going around the upper turn Wizard and Merodac raced for the mastery, and when Wizard found he had his match he began to sulk, whichis a common practice of his when in trouble. He was kept straight, however, until he reached the quarter pole, where Merodac led a neck. Then Wizard swerved and fae Bingaman second place, three lengths behind Merodac, Going around the biuff Wizard fell in the rear, When the horses eared iu sight on the lower turn Merodao led three lengths, but Bingaman was closing slowly, yet surely; and as they came into the homestretch there was not a length of daylight betwedn them.

Saturday Afternoon Among the Oars- men on the River—The Clubs and Clab Houses—The Boats and the Oarsmen— Daily Practice of the Crews. Saturday ts the oarsman’s holiday on the Har- lem. Every fine afternoon the river is well cov- ered with shells—single, double and fours—but in the early evening of every fine, sunshiny Satur- day the scenes about the boat houses and on the river, from the Third avenue bridge to High Bridge ana beyond, are most enlivening. There are now located on the Harlem the houses of the Atnletic, Gramercy, Atalanta, New York, Nautilus, Nassau, Harlem, Dauntless and Columbia College boat ciubs. Recently many of them changed their lo- cation from near the Taird avenue bridge, ana, by moving up closer to the railroad bridge, the boat houses have thus been brought together in a line. With the sole exception of the New York all the club houses are now north of tne oid castellated pronounced @ positive nuisance by the scullers of the Harlem. Three years ago there were only two boathouses, where nearly a doz n at present line the river’s edge. Boating wasthen confined to those who paid their quarter, or half, or, may be, the whole dollar, to take a row up to High Bridge at the Cove for oysters, And what jolly times were these at the Cove many @ Harlem boating man can tell of, The Gramercy was THE FIRST BOAT HOUSE on the river, and the stories that some of the old Grams tell of the “rackets” they have had at every stopping place from their old house to Spuyten Duyvil Creek would bring a hearty laugh irom a confirmed dyspeptic. The Athletics were the next, we believe, to locate, and then the Nassaus gave up their elegant quarters on the North River to settle down at the “New Settlement” at Har- lem. Within three or four years at most the Har- lem has become what itis, Those who remember the boat houses at the toot of Christopher street think of them with feelings of pleasure, and in the bew houses which have taken their place love to relate anecdotes and incidents of the days gone vy, when the Gulicks and the Columbias and the Wa- verieys and the Atalantas were in the fulness of their strength, These clubs nave nearly al! passed away, the sturdy old Gulicks being the last to lin- ger on the scene, with the exception of the Atalan- tus, whose flag flies as proudly as ever from tne flagstai of their elegant house on the Harlem, Tuose who imagined that the English defeat would be the deathbiow to the Atalantas counted with- out thought, The club to-day shows quite as much, if not more, vitality and ¢n.erprise than any boat ciub im the country. The work they have labor, Ul taey desire that victory will favor their colors, YESTERDAY AFTERNOON spin. The crew have been pulling together some time and work together nicely. Oli Johnson, who ‘was stroke of the Nassaus last year, pulls No. 3 in o1 Yale, at Lake Saltonstall, on the 25th. ‘Ihe Doctor seems pretty well satisfied with his men, and if his boat don’t win there must be “something the matter which no fellow can understand,” THB FOURS who are to measure blades over the Harlem re- gatta course on the 22d were all out last evening. fue Gramercy’s crew are doing excellent work and the manner in which they work together and the improvement they have shown during the lew days they have been rowing indicate that they are going to row more than one heat on'that day. The Athietic boys, with Cone at the stroke oar, and his face “as smiling a8 a basket of clips,” as the old saw has it, went up over the course, and beyond, for their evening practice. These boys do their work cleverly; no splashing the water all. about, as if tt was Bill Curtis 1D a race, having the lead on an opponent who was closing up the gap, No; the boys pull ther oars cleanly througu the water and make their ship travel on at apace which will tno ail probability rove much too hot for the English strove of the New York, who were also out for an airing. Prest- dent Lincoln, in his own homely way, gave it as his opmion that while crossing @ stream was @ bad tme to swap horses, Indeed, the principle may be extended, and with quite as much trath it might be inatntained that just previous to a boat race is a baa time to alter your stroke. The Columbia College crew, who took thetr departure yesterday for Saratoga, were working the English | Stroke, but did not take Kindly to it. The last | time they were out they thought they would try | how the old stroke would tell, and Captain Rees Oolumbtas will not try the foreign on Saratoga We hope, however, that the New York will nglish stroke @ good honest nh SO much said about it—it hag had go many advocates and so many oppo- nents—that for the sake of rowing aud the cuiti- vation of the best style ol rowing We hope that ali systems Will have a fair show, and may the best style be the one generally adopted.

Frank Brown, not being able to get a tour together out of the Nassau Club, is going to enter for the Litdies’ Chai- lenge Plate, which ne, with Oli Jonnson, gallantly won for his chib last year; bur this time ne will find sterner metal to work against. Victory wil not ve so easily secured; jor every foot of water rowed over will have to be rowed hard if the prize isto be retained in the keeping of the Nassaus. No one knows better than Frank Brown that Wil and all competitors, Bacon and Frank Ellison were out yesterday, and the way they made their boat travel was a pretty sight to @n oarsman. Pair-oar ts the periection of rowing, and where you find two men equally skilled in rowing and of nearly equal weight, you have a style of rowing tn which both men have got to do their work hon- estly, faithfully and well, or it will make itself avi- dent at ounce.

And now, in. stead of the thin, hollow-faced young exquisites one used to meet pulling away at the end of a Havana, and who spoke nothing but nonsense, and with a drawl at tiat, you meet young, vigor- ous fellows, with healthy looks and bronzed faces, who speak to you like men and not as ninnles, Whey are healthy and better men to every re- spect from the exercise they take in rowing.

His namesake Bill, just fresh from the West, pursues the same practice daily. the way irom Ciucago to win the “Diamond Sculls’! again this year, but since he latd eyes on the beautliul prize, President Meeker, of the Harlem Regatta Associa- tion, to be rowed for by all who are beaten for the “Diamond Sculls,” he seems to weaken on dia- monds and to get strong on cups. Tom Keator, of the Harlem, took his wana! jast evening, quietly pursutts, ali with the same the relaxation of the aud contentedly, and does his prettiest ouiy when no person is watching him. Not even the ladies who travel to High Bridge on the boats can divert the attention of the gal- lant Tom irom his work.

The Battle of the Guns—Fine Weather and Good Sport—A Quiet Gathering of Crack Shots. The match at the National Rifle Assoctation’s range, Creedmoor, which was adjourned unfinished last Saturday week on account of unfavorable weather, came off yesterday afternoon, The Rem- ingten diamond badge, won last year by R. Omana, was shot for, and also five other minor badges, The badge ia valued az $250. THE ROAD TO CREEDMOOR should be made easter than it is at present, in or- der to afford every facility to get upon the grounds without having to wait four hours in the Long Island Central Rakroad station. Yesterday anum- ber of rifemen arrived at Hunter’s Point in time | to catch what they thought was advertised as the 10:35 o'clock A. M. train for Oreed- moor, but were speedily undeceived by the gentiemen in charge of the station, who said there would be no train for the range until two o’clock P.M. In this dilemma they were obliged to take the Little Neck train, and had to walk all the way between there aud Creedmoor, a distance of about four miles, After such violent physical exertions the condition of their nerves for shooting may readily be imagined as anything but favorable, A very general feeling of dissatisfaction was ex- pressed at the want of trains to the rife range dur- ing the best part of the day. THE RANGE AND GROUNDS were in splendid condition for shooting, the weather was delightful, and a fine, invigorat ing breeze, which chased the fleeting, feecy clouds across the sun, sent the pure, iresh air into the depths of the lungs, and made us, city folks, feel all the lighter and brighter for this pleasant renewal of acquaintance with Dame Nature. Like last Thursday, a breeze was blowing across the range almost at arignt angle to th@fine of iy ub as it was steadier yesterday, and the crack shots were out, it did not matter so much as on the jormer occasion, especially as most of tie guns used were sporting rifies, whose delicate and complicated sights were furnished with accurate vernier screws that allowed of being adjusted jor lateral deflection. The rifles themselves were of various descriptions, already-so well known that it wouid be superfuous to describe them. Une jea- ture that must have challenged attention was the large number of professional crack shots, who were not present so much for the glory of the sport as with an eye to business on the part of the man- aiacturing firms that sent them. The members of the Rifle Association, while welcoming al! comers, would do well to take care that their national organization does not become & battle ground for the guns alone, and to keep it ag & place where the best skill of the nation may be exercised for the honor of the manly amusement itself, and not to advance the interest of anybody in particular. With regard to the approaching international match A DISCUBSION TOOK PLACE | among some of the members of the National Rifle Association yesterday. It was thought that the Irish eight have got rather the advantage of the Americans who accepted ther challenge. It seems that the Inshmen have restricted the | making up of the American team to native born citizens only, thus excluding naturalized citizens from participating in the match, Many ol the members of the National Rife Association think tnat this ig hardly right, a8 among the natural- ized Germans, Irish, English or other natioualities, there might be some excellent shots, who ought to be allowed the honor of contesting the palm in | favor of thetr adopted country. The majority of the Creedmoor riflemen seem to think that once @ man 1s naturalized he is ao American and nothing else, and therefore he should not be excluded be- cause of the accident of his nativity uader a ft eign flag from participating in such a match as the coming international trial of ski) promises to be. THE MATCH shot yesterday was known as No. § of the spring meeting of the National Rifle Assoctation. ‘There were thirty entries tor the match, which was open only to, the members of the Natioual Rifle Association, the weapon used not to exceed ten pounds in weight, trigger not less than three ounds test pull, telescope sights excluded. The listances were 500, 800 and 1,000 yards, any posi- tion; seven rounds to be fired at each ran with the privilege of two sighting shots. The | twenty best scores at 500 yards were alone to com- | pete at 800, and the ten best at that distance to | compete at 1,000. The highest possible score, 23 at each distanve; total, 82. ‘The following tavie shows the members’ names | who, atter shooting at the 500 yard range, failed to quality for the greater distances :— i | { i | Nama S008, | 9B Juda... 233333 2-19 | LM.
