AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB. Fifth Day of the Summer Meeting at Jerome Park. A Slim Attendance, but Everybody Happy. Only the Clerk of the Weather “Puts on Airs.” TWO ZACES AND TWO WARK OVERS A Mie and a Quarter Dash and a Grand Steeplechase — Vandalite and Bullet the Winners. Aever in thé history of Jerome Park was there a wetter day for the races than yesterday. In the fanshine the heat was not great enough to make one sigh forthe shade and in the shadow of the clubhouse and under the trees on the eminence, about the fashionable resort, the air was delicious, If there was any complaint to be made at all it was that there was too much breeze, but still there Was not wind enough, even on the hill, to realize in asingle instance among the ladies, through its | toyings witn under draperies, sir John Suckling’s famous lines— Her teet beneath her petticoat, Lake little mice stole in and out, As it they feared the light. It was indeed avery proper breeze in every way and periormed its part so well that it kept the ‘temperature just where it contributed to the hap- piness and comfort of everybody. And yet there ‘were comparatively few oi the tair at Jerome Park to enjoy what nature seldom offers for their enjoy- ment. Indeed it is not impossible that nature may bave taken yesterday asan occasion to pun- igh people who stay away except when the most tempting dishes are offered for their delectation. If the managers of Jerome Park could not offer the excitement of fine races to the ladies fair nature succeeded in showing that the little that was offered ‘Was as delightful as a full feast. The belles being ‘way the beaux also refrained from gracing the races with their presence. Yesterday was Bot a society day and indeed the Thursday Faces of the summer meeting at Jerome Park seem not toearn the regard of society people. Last year this might have’ been explained on the hypothesis of the excessive heat, the day of the meeting corresponding to yesterday being one of the hottest of the entire summer. But yesterday ‘Was the exact opposite of the other—the most de- lightful day of the whole meeting. It would in- deed be marvellous if Saturday should prove equally fine. But it must not be assumed that Je- rome Park was empty or that the people who were present regretted their presence. It was only the “mobby” folks who were away, the common clay deing well represented. And Nature showed that she was capable of making common people happy. ‘There was plenty of oxygen, and that was some- thing to be thankfal for. There was no danger of Sunstroke. There was no crush, but there were wome pretty faces and very handsome toilets. Among the gentlemen present were the twin policemen who are such an adornment to Broad- way, in citizen’s dress, and an eminent barber, and a political economist or two and plenty of Glerks, but nobody put on airs except the clerk of the weather. His airiness, however, delighted everybody and put everybody in good humor to enjoy what was to come. ‘ ‘Ie was true the first race was to be a walk over and the second race was of the same interesting @pecies, but then it was a delightful day. The third race was not exciting, indeed it was exceed- ingly tame, but everybody was pleased because the day was delicious. Even a poor dinner is enjoyable when the company is good. If the dessert under such circumstances turns out to be excellent it casts a glamour of grace over the whole meal. It was so at Jerome Park yesterday. The burdie race was the dessert. It was not only a — race—it was poetic. Every Movement of the horses cven in their faults was ed ee Poetry of motion.

BO race was ever more bedutifully contested. The “knigntes” and iadies fair who missed it may mever have another opportanity to see anythin; Mkeit. Tammany’s leap of the miniature Catarac' of the G in front of the grand stana was in iteel poem as graceful as one of the idylis T son sang of the king. It was @ leap which touched the imagination more exquisitely than the glaring realism which Gelighted the wery when Monteith’s old play ‘was first produced there aquarter of a Cars ago. Nothing half as fine ever can be produce upon the melodramatic stage. Though Tammany Jost the race, there was glory enough in that one aoe GORny. the reputation of any horse. But race of movement was not confined to Tammany, for Buliet moved with the swiftness of a minis ball, and Electric once or twice was like the lightning’s flash. Taken altogether, it was a glori- ous day, long to be remembered by those who par- ticipated in its pleasures at Jerome Park. THE RACING. ‘The track was in capital condition for racing, but for some reason or other which has not been properly defined, there was little use made of it, a mile and @ quarter dash between two flies being the only flat race of the day. Kadi walked over for & purse of $500, “for maidens, three years old, to carry 100 lbs.; four years old and upwards, to carry 90 lbs.; mares and geldings allowed 3 Ibs, One mile and a-half.” Whisper performed a similar task fora purse of $700, ‘‘three-years-old, colts to carry 87 lbs. and fililes 84 lbs.; four years old and upward, never having won a race above the value of $1,000, allowed 3 Ibs.; above the value of $500, 5 Ibs.; maidens, four years old and up- ward, allowed 121bs. One mile and three-quar- ters.” There was but one entry for each of the above purses and the horses that entered had nothing to do but show up and take the money. We endeavored to ascertain among the owners of the horses on the grounds, why there were no more entries for such good purses, but none of them would rise to explain. Some excused them- eelves by stating that they were not going to pay five per cent entrance without knowing what they had torun against, while others said that they did not admire the way the penalties and allow- ances were regulated as the conditions jor the purses, while others again sald they had been frightened of by statements which were circu- lated freely around the stables that Tom Bowling, Grinstead, Springbok and other clippers were to be entered, in whicn case they would only be throwing away their entrance money and strain- ing their horses, with nothing to reap but sure de- feat and lasting disgrace. The object of the American Jockey Club in arranging the purses in the manner they have done Td to obviate the wy, thing that occurred, They supposed that by making penalties for winners und allowances for beaten horses, all classes could come in and swell the elds to large dimensions; but ‘tne best laid plans,” &c. Yet, notwithstanding the disappoint- ments by the failure of the two races, the attend. ante at Jerome Park were well repaid for their ‘visit by witnessing one of the most spirited and closely contested steeple chases that ever took ce ON this continent—one that will bear repeti- tag & Nine Pipe at this popular course. came 0} - tween A.

Tammany was leading when the accident happened, and what he lost then probably caused his defeat. It was a great race, and, a8 We said above, it should be repeated.

The horses were started from the foot of the bluff and opposite the grand stand, Blind Tom leading, Tammany second, Henrietta third, Bullet fourth and Electric fth. They ran down the trac- tional track ina northerly direction, and in the rear of the timers stand they had to fp. 2 hurdle or brush fence. Tamm: was the GF horse over {hdotlowed by Blind Tom, Henrietta, Bullet and im the order given, close to- gether. The horses consmued “on the fractional "track to the my fet end of itana then jumped a jJence into the horth fleld. Tamman: a length, Blind ‘tom second, about a length {n advance of Henrietta, the latter a length in front of Bullet and Eleccric, who went over the fence together. The horses circled around the westerly edge of the field, jumping two brush fences, and thence to near the outlet of the field, where they had to leap over a rail tence oupen witi brush, which isa pretty stiff affair and one not tobe ‘trified with, Tammany showed the way over it, closely followed by Blind Tom, Bullet third, Henrietta fourth and Electric filth, the horses being about two lengths apart. They then dashed out of the fleld to the toot of the bia, where @ hurdle was stationed. Tammany was first over, with Blind Tom close at his heels, Builet next, then Henrietta, Electric four lengths behind. Then the horses ran into the south field and Jumped @ brush fence, going to which Blind Tom took the lead by two lengths, Tammany being a like distance in front of Bullet, the others in the order as before given. When over this fence the horses coursed in @ westerly direction and eee abrash fence about midway of the field, Blind Tom still leading LY two lengths, Tammany sec- ond, two lengths ahead of Bullet, who was three lengths in advance of Electric, Henrietta tour lengths behind. Then they wheeled suddenly and Tan around the lower end of the field, jumping a brush fence and ditcn, and, turning again near the three-quarter pole, came up towards tne grand stand. On the way up and near the furlong pule was another brush fence, which was cleared first by Blind Tom, then by Tammany, Bullet third, lectric fourth, Henrietta filth. The next impedi- Ment, and the longest and most dificult Jump in the was tbe brush fence and water of the grand stand ‘nd club house. Tammany had passed Blind ‘Tom, and was the first to make the leap, which he did im grand style, closely followed by Electric, then Blind Tom and Bullet together, and a few lengths behind came Henrietta, tne pace at this Joel tume being remarkably sharp. The orses then rushed down the shute between the fractional and regular tracks, where a hurdle was stationed. The rider 01 Bullet was forcing nis horse recklessly at tnat time, and, as he passed over the hurdle, be very nearly ‘came to griel.’’ Bullet struck the top rail and came near faliin, and the “culled pusson”’ went further on to the nec! of the horse than he had previously been on this trip. Horse and rider fortunately recovered, however, without a fall or without losing much ground, and dashed after Tammany and Electric across the track and over the biind ditch on the road to the picnic grounds, The diteh was ies prettily by allotthem. Going up the hill Bullet took second lace, and, as he pumpat the stone wall at the op ‘of the hill, he was at Tammany’s heels, Electric third, Blind Tom fourth, Henrietta filth. To come down the bill, into the fled, and over the stone wall in the centre of it took but a moment of time, and the excitement grew intense all over the course. Tammany led one length, Ballet second, Blind Tom third, klectric fourth, all close together, several lengths in advance of Henrietta, who could not keep pace with tne others. They were making @ grand race of it. Out of the north field they dashed then over the hurdle at the foot of the bluff, and into the south fleld at the top of thelr eed, Where they met a brush fence. Tammany led over this two lengths, Bullet second, wo lengths ahead of Blind Tom, Who was about aneck in advance of Electric, Henrietta eight lengths behind. They tien wheeled to the right, and went in @ westerly direction, jumping two Jow brush fences, the last one havin: &@ small ditch on the far side of it. Tammany le up to this point; but here he stumbled and fell on his knees, and before he fairly recovered Bullet was in front and running like a wild horse with a Comanche on his back. The othera, however, were close upon him as he left the south fleld and entered the regular track, near the three-quarter pole, All the horses were doin; their beet as they entered the homestretch, an they were u: o their utmost up to the last hurdle, Which was stationed at the south end of the grand stend. As Bullet approached it he seemed to hesitate and swerve the right; but Towson would not have any capers at that par- ticular jonetare, and he seemed by a vigorous effort of whip, spur and rein to 1ift the horse over the hardie in front of Tammany, who was followe: by Blind Tom, Electric fourth. Bullet had anothet link to let out after getting over the hurdle, ana he galiopped away from the others and won the race by four lengths, ‘ae a second, three lengths ahead of Blind Tom, the latter being six lengths in advance of Electric, Henrietta eighty yards away.

In the pools before the start Adelina was the favorite over the tlelé $20 to $16, which odds were greatly increased when she displayed what speed she possessed. She won the race in three straight heats without apparent effort. Midget took the second money and Surprise the third premium. Columbia Boy was distanced in the first heat. The second contest was @ purse of $600, for horses that never beat 2:45, mile heats, best three in five, in harness; $200 to the first, $150 to the | second and $50 tothe third horse. ‘This had six entries, four of which came for the word, these be- ing Harry ©.

Yesterday—A Fine Score. In compliance with existing orders from Adju- tant General Rathbone’s office the Twenty-second regiment paraded yesterday morning for rife practice at the Creedmoor range. The men turned out tn light marching order and with one day’s ra- tions. The roll was called at half-past six o'clock A, M., and at about seven the line of march was taken up, but on account of delays of one kind or another the regiment did not reach Creedmoor until near ten o'clock, and shooting commenced soon afterward, The number of rounds fired was five at 200 yardg and five at 600 yards. The shots of the shorter range were made from the shoulder, and those taken at the longer distance trom any position, but without a rest. The target at 200 yards was six feet by four feet, witn an eight inch bull’s eye, and that used at 500 yards, six feet square, with a two foot bull’s eye. The rifle used was the regulation breechloader, served with central fire metallic cartridge. It was possibic to maké a score of twenty at each range, or forty altogether. The regiment turned out ‘irom 250 to 300 men.” Of these 158 were able to make the minimum score of eight points at 200 yards, and became entitled to shoot at 600,and some 117 were disqualified because of not making the required number of Points on the first five rounds, From the marks- men who shot at both ranges the following score has been selected for publication :— THE SCORE, Name.

A Fraudulent Track—Weston Still the Champion—How the Trick was Dis- covered—The Physique of the Two Men Compared. Visitors to the Washington Riding Academy doring the progress of the walk now in course of performance by Edward Mullen, of Boston, who undertook to walk 500 miles within six consecu- tive days, and 115 miles in the first twenty-four hours, could not have failed to notice the small- ness of the circuit composing the track. When told, however, that it required 17310 circles to be made to count a mile, but few stopped to think that even this apparently great number of times that the pedes- trian had to go round the schoo! was short of what should be the case, and that a fraud, so far as the measurement of the track was concerned, was being perpetrated. A HERALD reporter, however, who was specially detailed to find out whether any attempt was being made to deceive the pub- lic, on visiting the building was at once struck with the thought that a trick was being and had been played, whereby it was made to ap- pear that Mullen had outdone Weston. The HERALD reporter watched all that was doing for some hours and finally conciuded that the pace at which Mullen was walking dia not agree with the time anuounced. This aroused a suspicion that there was SOMETHING WRONG with the track and that the walk was not an honest one, inasmuch as the track must be short of the dis- tance it was supposed to be. In order to ascertain how far this view wes correct Mullen’s steps were counted and it was found that he made each cir- cult in from seventy-ix to elghty-two paces, ac- cording to the rate at which he travelled. A calcula- tion was then made, allowing thirty-six inches for each step, which was manifestly longer than Mul- len was taking. This showed that the distance round the track could not be more than from 228 to 246 fect at the utmost. The track was also passed over by the reporter at his usual gait and stride, resulting in his determivin, that it meusured from 285 to 2387 feet. Several ing some idea that all was not mght, also counted | Mullen’s steps and calculated that if the track was | 800 feet in length, as it was said to be, that then Mullen was each time taking paces of from thirty- Six to lorty inches, which aay one who has secn him xnows tobe a physical impossibility. THE TRACK MEASURED. In order, however, to set ail doubt at rest, the HSRALD reporter, seizing a favorable opportunity, took out @ surveyor’s tape measure which he carried in his pocket, and, with the assist- ance of @ young man whom he impressed into the service, proceeded to measure tle track, beiag careful to keep the tape on tne out- side of the line on which Mullen had walked. The Tesult wag that the exact distance round was found to be WO HUNDRED AND FORTY FEET, or sixty fet shorter than it was given out to be. ‘Therefore it will be seen that it required twenty- two circaits to be made for every mile, and not 17 3-10, ag walked by Mulien, which is @ deduction from each mile of a trifie over one-fifth, Mullen, therefore, did not walk within twenty-three miles of the 116 purported to have been accomplished by nim on Monday last, and Weston still stands as the only man who has yet accomplisned the feat of walking 115 miles within twenty-four hours, THR TIME COMPARED, Acomparison vetween the time made by Wes- ton on his first day’s waik, when he accomplished 116 miles, shows that he took but 1h. 1m. 2s. for rest and refreshment, while Mullen took tor the | same purposes 2h. 23m. 36s. The latter, therefore, considering that he is alleged to have made the same distance five minutes quicker than Weston, must have performed each mile in a smail fraction over'llm. 118. providing the track had measured fairly 300 fect. Since the first commencement of the walk Mullen, up to nine o’clock last night, was credited with 286 miles. Deducting 37h. 47m. 378, which he has consumed in Testing, leaves his actual Ls 5 time at 55h., 12m., 238., necessitating a mile to have been made every eleven minutes and thirty-three and a half seconds throughout. This exhibit speaks for itself. No one whe has been in constant attendance while he has been at work can for one moment, even, think that he has walked at anything like this | | rate. He doubtless is a very fair walker as lar as making a fair heel and toe step is concerned, but uniortunately he has calculated his miles shorter than is called for by the standard and set down in the books on measurements and distances, Wes- | ton, to make this same number of miles, occupied 63h. 20m., and rested, besides, 29h., 20m., 4s, WESTON AND MULLEN COMPARED, As far as Mulien’s capacity of endurance is con- cerned no medical opinion could be obtained. It, however, would appear that he is capable of walk- ing a considerable distance, but only with at exertion. ‘The after eect in his case, is thought, will be one of utter and complete prostra- tion, requiring some six weeks or two months’ time jor him ww recover therefrom. His respira- tion is very labored aiter going & lew miles, mak- ing it somewhat dificult’ for him to speak, while the circulation of tne blood is great quickened, With Weston no such effec’ fs noticeable, and it is the opinion of the most eminent physicians in the city that the there is not another man possibly to be found capable of the same amount of endurance. His physique is said to be most peculiarly adapted tor walking long distances. His |ungs are said to be extraordinarily large, giving him immense breath- ing power, thus preventing his veing what is com- monly termed winded. His circulation is not in- creased after a long Walk beyond what would be | the case with any one walking two or three miles, | and it is the general opinion that he could, after a week or two of reat in order to heul his fect should they be galled, walk again without any detriment fo lus nesta,’ That Mullen is physically weaker and less able to endure fatigue than Wes- ton has deed proved by the effect already produced, snd it 18 @ question whether he will be able to keep on the track at all until Saturday.

The Worst Muffing Affair on Record— The Great Chic Club Beaten, 38 tol Of all the miserable mufling affairs ever heard of the game on the-Union grounds yesterday after- noon, between the Mutual and Chicago clubs, takes the lead. From 1,600 to 1,800 people flocked to the field, in anticipation of seeing a fine and close con- test; but never was that number of people so dis- appointed. Fora reason which the managers of the club do nut care to as yet make public Zettlein and Cuthbert, of the White Stockings, were not permitted to take part in the contest. A man by the familiar name of Tom Collins, who recently Pitched for the Red Stockings, of St. Louis, was eld, Hines centre and Glenn right. At least this was the original programme; but a Trejerence to the score will readily disclose the fact that it was not strictly adhered to, Collins was | wonderfully and tearfully wildin delivering the ball, and persisted in putting it clear over the catcher’s head. much to the disgust of the lookers- on, but to the infinite gratification of the Mutuals, ‘of immediately going home on over pitches. On the Mutual side all played weil. Hignam and Allison particularly distinguished themselves be- hind the bat. Ir we except Deviio and Collins, after the latter went in the outfield, every man wearing the uniform of the Chicago ciub played in & most disgraceiul manner.

Babcock, of Connecticut. New Haves, Conn., June 18, 1874. This afternoon, at ten minutes to three o'clock, Hon. James F. Babcock, Judge of the City Court, expired in his office adjoining the court room, The immediate cause of death was paralysis, succeeded by fits of apoplexy, induced by overwork in the dis- charge of grduous duties. He took his seat on the bench at balf-past eight this morning in ap- Parent health, transacted the business brought betore him, closed the Court at eleven o’clock and was about to retire, woey the summons oj the dread messenger came. He was stricken down In an instant, and, after lingering in an-uncon-- scious state for four hours, expired, Judge Babcock was born in New Haven in the year 1810, passed his boyhood and received his education in this city. In 1830 he assumed the editorial management of the Palladium, at that time asmall sheet, and continued it thirty-one ears. In 1861 he was appointed Collector of the ort of New Haven by President Lincoln, holding the office eight years. In 1869 he began the prac- tice of law, and continued it till his Spo mene to a judgeship Haare Legislature in May of the present year. r.

He was one of the first to ap- Preciate the fact that Andrew Johnson repre- sented a change in the views of the majority of the people of the United States, and, acting trom his impulses at the time of the early division in the party, he became at first a Johnson man and afterward a member in full accord with the democratic party, forget- ting tor all time the prejudices which had lea him. to write and speak in sympathy with the Know pie Bat those who only knew Mr. Babcock a3 a politician had but little idea of the many esti- mable qualities of his susceptible heart.

VICTORY OF NEW YORK OARSMEN, PHILADELPHIA, June 18, 1874, Amore bright and beautiful morning could not have been wished for by the most enthusiasti¢ lover of aquatic sports than that which ushered ip to-day, and on which the final heats for the grand challenge prizes of the Schuylkill Navy were to ba contended for on the waters of the beautiful river which wends its way through the classic grounds of Fairmount Park. THE PRIZES, | with the exception of tne prize for pair oared boats, which was a magnificent silver ice bowl, and which was so gallantly and cleverly won by Frank G. Brown and John A. Walker, of the Nas- saus, of New York, the winners and wearers of all the other prizes, were to be determined this after- noon. In justice to the Schuylkill Navy it must be admitted that in the selection of these prizes the utmost amount of artistic taste and discrimina« tion has been exercised. The first prize, for fours, given by Commodore Fergusor, is a handsome silver punch bowl, ornately chased and very hand- some in design. The second, for pairs, that won by the Nassan boys has been already writen about; the third, for double sculls, a prettily de- igned water pitcher and made of silver, isa prize well worth the honor of winning, and the fourth Teward—a most appropriate one 1n its way—con- sisted of a handsome ptece of statuary in bronze, «The Gladiator.” In addition to these the suc- cessful Oarsmen were each to be awarded per- sonally with a neatly chased gold locket with the monogram of the Schuylkill Navy on one side and a place for the name of the winner on the re- verse, DRAWING POR HEATS. With commendable promptitude all the heats yesterday were started at the hour they were an- nounced on the programme. The determination of the Regatta Committee to delay until compara. tively late in the afternoon the final heats to-day might have been improved upon, as, had they been set down an hour earlier, visitors from other cities could have leit that evening jor their homes, The result of the drawing for stations for the final heats for fours placed the Argonautas on the west side of the river, and the Pennsylvania Barge Club crew of Philadelphia on the east bank. So far ag any advantage in location was concerned the Argys had it. The choice of position for double sculls gave the Crescents, of Philadelphia, the east shore, and the Nassaus, of New York, the west. In the single scull, which was to be the great event of the day—bringing as it did sucn well known seullers as Ed. Smith, of the Argonautas; ‘fom Keator, of the Harlem, ana Jonn Lavens, of the Pennsylvanias, and an old favorite in the Pbila- delphia waters together—Keator had the east shore, with Ed. Smith close by him, and Lavens on the west side. FINAL HEAT FOR FOURS, ‘The crews who contended to-day were the Argo. nautas, of Bergen Point, and the Pennsylvantas, of Philadelphia, The Argonauta crew consisted of kred. Eldred, stroke; Walter Man, B. Stephen- son, and Ed. Smith in the bow. The Pennsylvania crew consisted of John Laven, Jr., stroke; Frank Henderson, Max Schmitt, and Oscar F. West in the bow. Shortly afver four o'clock the boats were drawn into line, and, after the usual preliminary caution had been giveu to the contestants by the starter, the word “Go.” Both crews caught water together and got away. The had the west bank of the river and wore blué colors, and the Pennaylvanias, off the west shore, sported pure white as their mark of distinction. Before the first 200 yards were rowed the argys boat had nearly got 8 half length clear on the Philadelphia boys. At the bend of the river the Bergen Potnt- ers had three boats’ length between them, while the Pennsylvania boys were’pulling a splendid race at about thirty-eight strokes to the minute, but the steering on their boat was bad. ‘rhe Argonautas, on the contrary, steered a magnifi- cent course, and seldom ran higher than thirty- six strokes. Nearing Peter's Island, the boate held about the same positions, both crews work- ing hard. Off the island the Pennsyivanias less ened the lead the Argys had on them for a time. Eldred, perceiving thts, spurted, and drew away again. The Pennsylvania crew responded. But the Argys had it at the winning in gooa style. ‘TIMER. “M8 NM & Argonautas...... 9 013¢ Pennsylvania... 9 8 DOUBLE SCULL BOATS. In the first, which was algo the fnal heat for double scull boats, the only competitors were the Nassaus, of New York, and the Orescenta, of Phila- delphia. Both boass got away together when the Signal was given, and kept company for the firas uarter of a mile. Then the steady stroke of the lassaus began to push their boat ahead of the Crescents, who were rowing in excellent form, however, and keeping well to their work. At the bend of the river the Nassaus had a slight lead, which they increased to several lengths before the head of Peter's Island wus gained. The Crescent crew here picked up slightly and lessened the lead, but the goal was near at band, and the Nassaus crossed the line first. TIME. MM & aM. s.

John Laven, of hiladelphia, withdrawing, left the race between Ed. Smith and Tom Keator. The word “Go” sent both boats off together, and the start was an even one. Smith, on the west side, had the choice posi- tion, and Keator took the centre of the river. Bouh men rowed in companionship for the first uarter, with @ slight advantage. if any, for Occasionally Smith would quicken his stroke, but without effect, as Keator, racing at that easy steady gait he is so noted for on the Harlem, was fast increasing the daylight between his boat and that of the well-known bow oarsman of the Argonautas, The lead Keator obtained he increased steadily till the fintsh, thus winning the race, beating Smith nearly seven seconds, TIME, e 8.
