AMBRICAN JOCKEY CLUB. aoa, Fourth Day of the Summer Meeting at Jerome Park. SCENES ON THE ROAD. Brilliant Company and De-!' lightful Weather. ILL LUCK OF THE FAVORITES A Runaway Horse Does Some Smashing Up. FOUR SPIRITED RACES. Bonaventure the Winner of the Ladies’ Stake, Preakness of the Mile-and-a-Quarter Dash, Springbok of the Mile-and-Three- Quarter Dash and Limestone of the Handicap Hurdle Race. ‘The fourth day of the Jerome Park races opened under favorable auspices. The atmosphere was wright anc clear, with a delightful summer breeze rustling among the leaves and swaying the boughs @f the stately trees in unison with Nature's Darmony. There was a sense of joyousness in the Jovely Morn that told the dweller in the city of the peace and beauty of the green-robed felds, iying eutwardas beyond the mass of brick and stone, basking in the genial sunshine. Friendly clouds, wo, foated over the sky-vault, veiling the fields and absorbing the rays the sun darted so fiercely down on earth. This happy condition of the ‘Weather brought out crowds of gally dressed ladies, with coquettish hats and bonnets perched on charming little heads, m all the bravery of blooming flowers and fow- tng ribbons. There was evidently periect confidence in the honorable intentions of the old ‘Weather clerk as the long line of wagons, sulkies and carriages dashed along the avenues, disap- pearing in tne sinuous roads that wind so grace- dally through Central Park. Here the scene is so Deautitul, wita waving trees and rustling leaves, that seem to whisper an invitation to rest wander the shade, and glimpses of open lawn and stretches of water, that one is almost sorry to de- ‘ouch at McCoomb’s dam on to the dusty road Dying bleached in the sun, with the ever present @uast cloud in the distance rising in the tracks of Wagons tearing away to the races, indiffer- ent to the beauty of the scene or the sweet calm ‘of the sunshine, and only thinking of arriving in time for the first race. However, some are more philosophic, ana have faith in the excellence Ol their timepieces and tne pace of their Borses; 80, a8 the road is ‘dusty and the @ay agreeably warm, a halt is cajled at the in- viting little hostelries that line the road. Here the events of the day are eagerly discussed, and the ‘ner man having been cared for the pleasure seekers start with renewed zest. The rush along the road is enlivened by a friendly race, carried out in defiance of the regulations, when no gutardian of the law happensto be w sight, and is all the more keenly relished because it 1s a stolen Joy. Young pcople in elegant little wagons whirl along, paying small heed to anything or anyone ‘bat themselves, and it is easy to see that the in- Maence of the dey is happy for lovers, Cupid's ar- rows are especially dangerous in such weather, and the littte rogue is busy shooting darts at the passers-by on the dusty road. If one may judge by appearances the havoc done is considerable, and many a swain and fair lady will retura from the course stricken beyond hope. Notwithstanding the dust the drive is most de- Mghtiul, for the rush of the wagon and the gentle wreath of the summer breeze keeps the travellers , cool as cucumbers until the grand staud looms up, and the driver, with short turn, wheels into the lane up to the club house. Here the scene is not #0 striking as might have been anticipated. Many of the ladies preter seeing the races to posturing and chatting on the pretentious piazza whence one can see iittle or nothing save the peaple by whom one is surrounded. Others, also, for their own good reasons, prefer a more convenient spot to hold court—out of ear-shot of the general public. ‘under the trees or seated m the shadow of the bank, surrounded by their cavaliers and aspirant Cavaliers. At the critical moment of the races these little groups start up and watch the homesireten, but as soon as the winniug postis | ‘passed they return to the game of hearts, which evidently interests them more than the game of horses. One valiant party comes down in a drag, and looks like a study cut from Frith’s aanvas of the Derby Day. There are charming faces perched up high avove the vulgar crowd, and such gentlemen as would pay homage must climb up to the shrine of beauty to pay devoir. This group is the centre of attraction, and the ladies of course know it and enjoy it, but try to appear delightiully unconscious that all the unlucky fetiows that are Not entitled to climb upon the wheels and hang on to the straps are watching enviously those wno are, and borrowing their (riends’ field glasses to have a good look at the trap, as they pretend, but in reality to get a better view of some of vhe pretty rio ae are blooming high up on‘the lumbering coach, On the grand stand are clustered the people who really take an interest im the racing, and, though the vast mass belongs to the uninteresting division of humanity, there are enough brilliant dresses and pretty faces to relieve the sombre mass, and prevent the contrast between the stand and the grounds of the Club House and its pleasant costumes from being too pronounced. The bustie and excitement on the benches of the rand stand contrasted strongly with the more se- late and decorous conduct of the élite. There was @ good deal of betting, and this tendency was in- creased by the spirited character of the running. Every race was well contested. The ‘Ladtes’ Stake,” to the surprise of all, was carriea of by Bonaventura, atter a spirited struggle; and, though Preakness, the ijavorite, won in the mile-and-a-quarter dash, it was only after a@ severe struggie with Cordelia, although no one seemed to expect anything from this horse, In the mile and three-quarter race Mate was the favorite, but was beaten attera splendid race by bie bok, and even in the Handicap Hurdie race Blind Tom, the tavorite, was beaten by Limestone. The hurdie race introduced a most interesting feature into the day's proceedings. It 1s to be re- gretted that so few of the horses entered for this Face appeared at the starting post. Only three started, and one of them, Aerolite, almost imme- aiately fell down, and was prevented {rom contin- uing the contest. Just as the third race was abont to start considerable excitement was caused by @ runaway horse that started {from the hill, and tore down at a fearful pace towards Where a number of.horses and wagons were picketed. The colored attendants, dressed 1 their ‘ancy red uniforms, which showed o' well their ebony compiexion, rushed from all ike the direction of the runaway, except e who were ahead of him, and they scampered ry from the Ae ona danger as quickly as pos- sible. In fact, tue colored gentlemen showed most commendable prudence in keeping out of the way until the runaway, dashing into @ mass of wagons, collided, and, having smashed one of the wagons, vumbied down, overturning the véhicle he was yoked in, when he was secured. Forta- nately Mo one was injured. After the hurdie Tace the crowas on the hill overlooking the course and the mass of the occupants of the grand stand wended their way to the railway through a stretch Of woods. Here were encoun- Vered the usual adjuncts of a race course— petty gamblers and thimble-riggers, who, even in our boasted high te of civilization and intel- ligence, find du, foolish enough to allow them- eelves to be cheated out of theirmoney. However, the rush for the train left these in: @ustrie small opportunity to practise on the in- gentousness of the crowd. me few of the as- mistants had indulged during the ey, somewhat & freely in lager beer, and whether it was due to his cool and refreshing beverage or the excite. ment consequent on good or bad fdrtune at the betting pools, by going-home-time some of these arties nad become belligerently disposed. One formal declaration of War Was made by two excited and, it must be confessed, drunken individuals, They were about to commence hostilitics, when a Kentieman in hing Wth 2 shart stag took Fhe mast, They may be seen grouped | NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1874.—TRIPLE SHEET. violent of the two by the collar and vigorousiy re- quested the honor of his com| .

We seem to be gradually drifting to the adoption of English cus- toms in our race cunrses. THE RACING. i laecaediaeteiagirsia ‘The weather was Very favorabie for good racing and the track in most capital condition, being both safe and fast. There were four races on the card, the first being the Ladies’ Stakes—the American Oaks—for three-year-old fillies; @ dash of one mile and a quarter, a dash of a mile and three-quarters, and then a hurdle race of a mile and three-quarters over seven hurdles, The Ladies’ Stakes was the first race, and, the distance having been shortened this year from a mile and five furlongs to a mile and a half, it may be called The Oaks of America, as the race is precisely similar in distance and in the sex of the horsgs. In the English the fillies, however, carry more weight. For this race there were forty nomi- Rations and five starters. These were M. B. San- ford’s chestnut filly Lava, W. Cottrill’s chestnut filly Bonaventure, D. McDaniel’s brown filly Fleur Ange, August Belmont’s bay filly Countess and J. W. Hunt Reynolds’ chestnut filly Christine. Countess was @ great favorite all through the pool-selling, book-making and Paris mutuals until @ few moments before the start, when @ rush was Made at the pool box to get on Mr. Reynolds’ Christine, and in the two last pools she sold the highest, Mr. Beimont’s Countess being second choice and Mr. Santord’s Lava being the third in favor; then came Cvlonel McDaniel’s Flear Ange, Mr. Cottrill’s Bonaventure being the last choice and the least thought of, her owner even not lay- ing a dollar on her chances, ashe said that the filly had not been doing weil since she left her home in Mobile. Bonaventure, however, galloped gallantly away from ali the others in the race, and won in the easiest possible manner, secur- ing to her owner the which was worth $8,250. a most excelient racing filly, with a Strands easy, low, long stride. She is finely formed over, but with no very str.king muscular devel- opment, She is finely bred, both sire and dam being capital racers, and she should be abie, when in Ps condition, to go fast and goon, As an old Kentucky turfman remarked yesterday, “Thar’s money in that mare.’ Lava ran ‘a good ‘ace, but Countess did not show speed at any time in the contest. Mr. Reynolds’ filly com- menced wheeling just as the flag fell, and she made several turns before her jockey could induce her torun. When she started the other fillies were over 100 yards away. Sie, of course, was out of the race betore she started, and, although she followed the others, she was lurther of at the finish than she was atthe start. Should she ve the tast filly that her backers claim she is, there will be plenty of chances ior her to win during the summer. 4 The second race was for a purse with penalties, and had nine starters, comprising M. H. Santord’s bay horse Preakness, Lawrence and G, Lonilard’s | chestnut colt Resolute, M. A. Littell’s brown colt Wizard, D. D. Wither’s bay coit Minstrel, Jemes Thompson’s chestnut filly by Austra. W. Cottrell’ chestnut gelding First Joseph Donohue’s bay mare Cor- dela, P. Lorillard’s ba; and August Belmont’s bay colt Scratch. Preakness was the favorite, notwithstanding the steadyiny Weight of 128 ibs., Cariboo being second choi Resolute third and Scratch fourth in favor. the last three pools sold Preakness was the Javoi ite over the field. He ran a capital race and won the purse apparenily very easily, running the last } Intle in 1:46. Tnat is great time for Jerome Park | track with 128 lbs. up, It is extremely doubt- ful whether any other horse can do the like, Cordelia ran very weil, _ twelve pounds of and Resolute reached a place. with filty pounds on his back less than Preakness carried, 5c! h was ridden by little Tom Sayers, a@ son of the once famous champion pugilist of Engiand. The little lad was brought this country by Mr. Pryor, the trainer for Mr. Belmont. There must be sometuing wrong with Mr. Bel- mont’s stable this year, as all his fine three-year- olds seem to have lost their speed. Last year, a8 two-year olds, Beatrice and Countess had no equais in the country, while now, in their turee-year-old form, they cannot win anything. Fillies, however, are very uncertain, and at Monmouth Park they anay ve themselves again, showing large fields the way to the winning post. The third event was aiso for a purse, the winner to be soid at auction, with penalties for wins and allowances for value m weigh;, the distance being one mite and:three-qgariegs,. For this race there were five eutries, of M. H. Sanford’s brown horse Mate, with 121 lbs. up; R. W. Wal- | aron’s bay colt Utica, carrying 101 Ibs.; ). McDan- } les chestnut coit Springbok, with 115 lbs. in the | saddle; M. A. Litteil’s chestnut colt Felowcraft, with 108 Ibs. up, and Augost Belmont’s chestnut mure Woodbine, carrying 104 lbs. Mate was the favorite In many oi | Springbok had tne call, with Woodbine selling tor neariy us Much money as either of them. Just be- fore the start—the last pooi disposed of—Spring- bok sold for the largest umount, bringing $366, while Mate fetched $300, Woodbine $240, and Utica and Feilowcraft, combined, were knocked down for $200. The mare Woodbine, aiter runnin, tnree-quarters of a mile, and while on the lead, showed temper and swerved over towards the outside fence. She there continued to suik until all the other horses were in iront of her and her chauces of winaing entirely gone. Springbok ran a fine race with a penalty o: seven pounds extra in the saddle. Mate also had an auditional seven pounds to his weight, but he did not seem to handie it aud run with the spirit and speed of >pringbok. Mate is a very jast horse, like his stable companion Preakness; but we doupt « he can stand weight penalties and win like the latter. ‘The time made was very fair, but has been beaten. Springbok was ridden by the English jockey Bar- bee, who handied the colt better than any one who had ever been astride of him beiore in a race. ‘The jourth and last race of the day was @ bandi- cap hurdle race, which had three starters. These were, L, A. Hitchcock’s chestnut colt Limestone, 145 lbs,; R. W. Walden’s bay colt Aerolite, 148 Ibs., and George Ayres’ bay colt Victor, 145 lbs, The satter was the javorite, selling in one of the pools just before the start for $350, Aerolite $250 and Limestone $230. The race was a very between Limestone and Victor, Aerolite being de- hind the others tor three-quarters of a mile, and then tumbling down and rolling over his rider, Midgely. The tatter, fortunately, was only stunned for a short time. There were no bones proken. @ speedy horse, but a Cele ies ae ‘ne following are the details of the racing as it came off: The First Race.

Limestone was slow in getting away after this jump and Victor took sides | with nim, and they ran up the homestretch head afid head, six lengths in advance of Aerolite. The third hurdle was stationed at the south end of the grand stand. Both Limestone and Victor gave this a rap as they passed over it. They then raced up tothe stand side and side, several lengths ahead of Aerolite, and kicked up such a dust that tne latter could not see his way distinctly, and he ran headiong on to the hurdle at the north end of the stand. He fell, and, throwing Midgeley, nis rider, rolled over the man.

They all love yachting, and going out noped for plenty of wind, a wish that was grati- fied to the fullest extent. The arrangements on the William Qook for the comfort of the guests ‘were perfect, and although nobody got very wet inside, ome of the fair sex, exploring the lower deck, were favored with a briny spriakling that took the starch out of their skirts in the most ap- proved style. The ladtes bet gloves on the Comet, and the gentlemen have some nice purchases to make in that line on account of the winner of the Union prize. The judges’ steamer, Seth Low, leit the Battery at hall-past eight A.

No fewer than 2,000 had found ' seats within the enclosure. The Bostons had won every game they played with the Mutuals tis season, aud this tact caustd the visitors to be great favorites in the pools, At | first the Bostons sold for 100 and the Mutuals for 35 and 40, but a little later on the New York party | Fan up the price of Mutual stock ulitil it vouched | 60, the Bostons still selung for 100, | _ At four o’ciock piay was called by Mr. Sensender- | fer, of the Atifletic Club, of Philadelpuia, the um- | pire. The Bostons were first to the bat, Barnes | opening with an easy one to Carey, who threw him out at first. White les go @ savage bonnder to | centre field and earned his base; but Spaulding, the next striker, lifted a high one, which Burdock yao jor and captured in beauttful style. McVey | was more fortunate, for he succeeded in putting a corking liner clean over Remson’s head, senaing White home and mimself going to second vase, where he was left by Leonard's turnishing the third hand out on avery high foul fy, waich Hig- | ham froze to nicely. TRe Mutuals in their half ot the inning got in two runs off a single base hit aud an error each by Barnes, White and O’Rourk, The next inning opened with a fly from O’Rourk to Carey. Wright hit an easy bounder to Nelson | and retired at first, Hall then drove up a high one, | which Carey dropped, although he had it in lus | hands a suitigent length of time to have warranted the umpire in deciding It a fy catch. The aroppine of the ball occasioued a great deal of comment among the spectators. It made no difference in the result of the game, however, as the next striker Ch an easy grounder to the same party, wuo had let the ball go and was promptly thrown out at first base. Burdock and Kemson, the first two Mutual strikers in this innings, were victimized on the fly by Harry Wright and fall, alter whtch Carey earned his base by a good hermaphrodite (lair-foa)) hit past third base. No runs were scored, for Higham foliowed Carey and gave Harry Wright another fly, which was properly attended to. The result of the third inning was a single ron for the “Reds” anda brace of the same for the “Mutes.” Barnes hit to Remson for a single base, | stole to second and third bases respectively and then ran home on a Gy to Allison, Beyond a doubt | he was put out fairly on the home plate by Higham, who wok the ball from Allison, but the 4 umpire decided “not out,” In rendering his dect- sion he, beyond the posstbility of a doubt, acted | conscientiously, but was mistaken for all that. | One ol the runs scored by the Mutuals in this in- ning Was earned through good batung by Mat thews, Nelson and Burdock, and the other on errors by Spaulding. Two bad errors by Barnes and anotuer by O’Rourk gave the Mutual: | another run in the fourth inning, but after this | each side faiied to score to the close. With the exception of Carey ali the Mutual men played well. ‘Two running catches by Remson were especially | | brilhant, and Higham played behind the batin splendid form, notwithstanding he has @ very sure finger. Barnes wae the only man of the ton party who fatied to play up to his standard, the otners all doing very finely. Below is the score :— ROSTON. wor RAB. F. _ Players, Players, POA RAB.PO.AB.
