. _ AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB. “Last Day of the Spring Meeting at Jerome Park. Brilliant Attendance and Gay Toilets. A Panorama of Gotham from a Race Point of View. SIX CAPITAL RACES. Willie Burke, Attila, Fadladeen, Spring- bok, Katy Pease and James A. the Winners, The Spring Meeting of the American Jockey Club, at Jerome Parh, closed yesterday amid a@ blaze of enthusiasm. The sky was murky and threatening from early dawn, but the consoling words of Old Probabilities in reference to “generally clear Weather towards the coast’ inducea everybody “and. his wife to leave the house for the lovely drive Jerome Parkward. Twenty cars en each excursion train to Fordham and countless vehicles m the Park showed the strong attraction which the admirabie Management of the races of the American Jockey Club has for the metropolitan public. Cen- tral Park—pride of New York—looked loveliest, and the magnificent boulevards leading from it were in their most attractive shape. No dust, very little sun, a bracing breeze and the Un its | “Park might desire, joyab.e as a promenade at the Branch when the | NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JUNE 21, 1874—QUADRUPLE SHEET. $n, Rote two ftollets, tne sr weurers of which Eivering ‘catfiages' drove. up. "Not particularly ri De fe rv . Not particular Dovel, but strikingly ladylike in effect was a toilet which had the silk skirt of that indescribable cotor, Seuille- trimmed with arrow, shirre flounces, diaposed diagonalty, and the “Maritana’”’ polonatse made in gray camel's hair goods, heavily embroidered with the color of the skirt. The broad sashes which formed the back of the polonaise and the deep poinis at the sides were finished with worsted Jrou-yrou fringe. The hat was of silk, the color of the skirt, aud black lace, trimmed with verbenas, The toilet worn by the companton of this lady, an ubusuaily beautiful and vivacious brunette, at- tractea especial attention, or perhaps a good share Of the notice might have been due to the personal charms of the wearer. The dress was of dee “Napoleon” blue silk, elaborately trimmed with black thread lace, but was simple in style, and a thread lace shawl was gracetully drapeu from the shonidera, The hat was of biack chip, trimmed With biack lace and brilliant geranium blossoms, and a cluster of the same flowers finished the rut it the throat. The general effect could not nave een more perfect. Although the skies looked angry at times and Taindrops caused apprehension, yet the threaten- ing symptoms gave way tu one of ful aiternoons that a patron oF patos of Jerom The drive howié Was as ell- wind blows on shore and the murmur 0! voices mingles with the deep diapason of tie suri, or when @ hop is in progress and berrothed parties waltz around the parlor, regardless o! the ther- mometer, THE acm. ———— Never before at Jerome Park was there a better track for horses to run on than was in readiness for them when the bell rang yesterday for the first race, aud the track kept improving as the , racing progressed, Tue weather was just of the right temperature for the sport. aud both man and beast seemed in the best possible condition for the respective duties assigned them. Six races were run, and every one of them gave satisfaction to the immense multi- tude assembled. The first was a hali mile dash, the second one mile, the third a mile and one eighth, the fourtha mile and five iuriongs, the fifth two miles and a@ half and the third three- quayters of a mile. The time made in all the races | was good—in one of them much faster than ever thermometer within respectable limits—what more | could be askea? The only drawback to the perfect enjoyment of those who visit Jerome Park on race days, or, in fact, of all who desire at any time to Teave the dust and heat of the city behind, is the muserabie condition of all the thoroughfares lead- img to the Central Park. The wooden pavements have now become full of dangerous pitfalls and | Fiith avenue itself needs sadly the attention of the | Department of Public Works, Building contractors inyade half the carriageway, and unseemly trucks, ice wagons and machine conveyances have leit their mark in the most unmistakable manner. Once in the Park and the agony tsover. Car tracks, yawning ruts, piles of bricks, objurgating Stage drivers; Italian scavengers, who swear in Trish; sma}l boys, who insinuate that the horse you | drive is a pensioner from the Belt Line Railroad; Dalioon Men, who insist upon attaching one of their nefarious machines at the end of your whip; rival livery stable men, who criticise the ‘Way you hold the lines; proprietors of those infa- mous establishments cailed ‘“snades,’? who cry out that your right wheel is unsteady, in order to ‘Wheedle you into their dens; policemen who want Zo escort @ missin her teens across the street; even when you reach the corner, and shake a club in the horse’s eyes, causing the tnoffensive quad- ruped to inaulge in hippodromic and yet unseemly gymnastics, and a thousand and one other troubles aMict the waylarer to Jerome Park before he reaches that haven of travellers in Gotham, Cen- tral Park. We want sadly in this city a thorough- fare for driving purposes, sacred against the in- trusions of ice, milk and furniture wagons, not to @peak of swill carts. The scene at the course yesterday was ex- hilarating enough for the most inveterate be- Never in laughing gas. Thousands were there, ‘and how they managed to stow themselves away was a puzzle. coursers (Tennyson) swept, throwing behind them acloud of dust, was dotted with picnic parties, the principal one being held on the spacious top of an English drag which had been wheeled into position. Fragments of chickens, sandwiches and | The green slope of the club house | bluff, around which ever and anon the swift | confectionery wer8 reminders of the hour of | gayety, and empty bottles rolled down towards the track, as if desirous of knowing who won the last | race. The well raked down track, the bright eyes that looked down irom club house and grand stand—and there was a feminine rivalry between the two centres of fashion—the fringe of foliage Dehind the stand, framing a kaleidoscope of pretty faces and toilets; the sea of humanity that surged on the bluff outside the main entrance, and the long stretch of sunshine and shade inside the precincts of the course, according as old Sol ‘winked from behind an envious cloud, made up a Picture to be remembered. On the Club House bluff reclines a party of ladies, with a couple of faithful cavaliers in attend- ance. Of course they must wager something on the result of the next race, and the hat is passed around, and each lady draws from its cavernous Gepths a ticket with the number of the horse about to run thereon inscribed. Here there is no question of choice in regard to equine antecedents or pedigree. The favorite is the one whose jockey wears the brightest colors. The black cap Of the rider of Attila in the second race does not stand a chance in the seminine eye with the yellow and crimson sleeves of Erastus Corning, and the orange and purple sleeves of Shyiock were far more im their estimation than any blue witha iad Ted sash that could be proposed to them, lere is an example, toilet included, of a lady who ited upon betting on the wrong horse. Delicate and refined look ing her dress was of one the lightest shades of gray silk, relieved with pip- ings and facings of siik of therare and beautiful tint which we seidom see excepting on the inner wurface of a sea shell, Tho skirt was a graceful Gemi-train, the back trimmed with a@ shirred flounce, with the delicate sea shell tint introuuced inthe edges, and the apron slurred perpendicu- larly, and having narrow rufies, piped to match the flounce, placed at intervais vetween tie shirrs, The polonaise was an Anelia, which had 8 Louis XIV. vest tastened with buttons made o1 the inner ning oi the conch shell; the cutaway fronts ex- tenaing back in pointed shape to meet the sashes 4m which the side forms were continued and the back very long and gracefully draped. The back of this disti: garment was edged with elegant gray {ringe, with a lovely but indescrib- able heading made of silk of the two tints. The Bleeves, hali-wide at the wrists, displaying bracelets of delicate rose coral, were puffed to the shoulders, thus imparting breadth to the slender figure. A ©oral necklace, matching the bracelets, and ear- rings comprised the jewelry. The hat was of white nip, trimmed with azalias, frilled with gray tulle, ‘et this elegantly dressed Bult of the race in unmeasured terms. Exclama- tions of “No! Yes! 'Tisrealmean! Such a nice jockey! Crimson sleeves and yellow jacket! Such ashame! Vilnever bet again!” &c., were heard, and a delicate {an was fragmented upon the bluil, Looking down trom the Club House at the close of a@race, when the horses turn into the homestretch and are bunched ey ther, it is interesting to sit on the Club House bluff and listen to the gatter- ing murmur of voices which gradually rises to the dimensions of @ collossal siowt of ex- citement, like the breaking of the incom- surf on the rocky shore. Now there is a iuil in the races while they are getting the two scions of Australian ready for a free handi- cap sweepstakes. From the club house to the @rand stand nundreds of persons are passing and also ia the opposite direction, and among them &re so many bewitcning toilets that one can hardly find time to sketch even a few, Here is one. Among the most brilliant tofletsone was entirely Of black, the only point of color being the scarlet cernations which ornamented the black lace hat. A Skirt O/ rich black faille, trimmed with “knile edge” plaitings was almost entirely covered by a long, very full overskirt, a “Loteila’ made tn black lace, 80 heavily embroidered with “diamond” jet that the foundation was hardly visible. A sleeveless Jacket matched the overskirt, and the black silk Bleeves were trimmed with Jot fringe disposed in perpendicular rows, The jewelry was of diamonds, set in onyx, le spirit of betting was rampant yesterday. Even the polleemen-ho. by the way, kept excel- lent order during the day—were inlected. A pri- vate pool and several discontented guardians of bP gd attracted our attention on one of the bia ‘The winner seemed to be in better spirits than if his antediluvian chief had promoted him to the position of keeper of the Mummy Bureau around the City Hall, and the losers grasped their clubs angrily and looked around for objects whereon they might vent their indignation. The ols among the small boys, white and black, who formed at times @ sort of checkerboard between the tracks, were far more ex- citing, even if not so lucrative, as those which at one end of the Grand Stand attracved crowds without the announcement, “/ci Von parle francais,” to the Gallic wheel of fortune, and as those whom the hoarse voice of the auctioneer called in an opposite direction, At length the end {s# reached, and the ee equipages begin to roll a from the Club louse. Sitting in a rustic rocker and waiting tor @ur bisoded team to arrive wi | Minnie brought as much before—and the closing day of the Spring Meeting at Jerome Park will be long remembered by all who were in attendance. The first event on the card was a purse race for two-year-olds; those by untried stallions or out of untried mares allowed 3 lbs,; of beth, 6 Ibs,; tne | distance, half a mile, For this race there were seven starters; consisting of A. B. Lewis & Co,’s Victorious, Thomas Puryear’s chestnut coit Weazel, M. A. Littell’s chestnut filly by Kentucky, D. McDaniel’s chestnut colt Willie Burke, H. P, McGrath’s brown colt Colvin and L, A. Hitchcock's chestnut filly Ino, At the of the pool sales on the track, Calvin had the call \ in the betting, Wilhe Burke being second choice and Weasel the third in favor. The betting ran on iu that way until just before the start, when Willie Burke became a great favorite, selling for $510, Calvin for $315, Weasel for $240 and the field for $220. The Paris mutuals paid $22 90. Willie Burke won the race quite easily, Calvin coming in second and Weasel third. The speculators seemed to have had a very good idea of the capabilities of the youngsters, the ouly mistake being made be- tween Calvin and Willie Burke. The latter is 4 finely formed uark chestnut colt, of good size, with remarkabiy prominent racing points, He will ve hard to beat in any Ne thy Oo that he may have. He looks a good deal like Abdel-Koree did when the latter was a two year old. ‘The second race was for @ purse by three-year. olds who had not won this year, the fiilies to carry 105 Ibs. and beaten maidens allowed 5 Ibs., one mile. Eight colts aud fillies started. These were N. Cottrell's chestnut colt Harry Felter, Josepn Donahue’s colt Scratch, 8S. H. Jon%s’ bay filly Sangamona, James Thompson’s chestaut filly by Australan, D. D. Withers’ chestnut colt Macci- roon, George Ayres’ chestnut colt Erastus Corn- ing, M. A, Littell’s brown colt Relorm and P, Lorillard’s bay colt Attila, In the pool sales Reform was first favorite, Maccaroon being secona choice, Sapgamona third, Attila fourth, the field bringing nearly as much as the favorites, The Paris mutuals paid $32 80, but the wiuners thought that they should have had more. Tnis was a well run race, but the lfavorite—Keform—was never hear tie front from the beginning to the ena, | ‘Thompson’s filly cut out the work and made the running from the drop of the flag. She continued to lead for three-quarters of a mile, when Attia went up, Captured the lead from the filly and gal. loped home an easy winner. The knowing ones got a severe scorching on this race. ‘The winner, Attila, was raised by Mr. Charles Lioyd, of Monmouth county, New Jersey, Who ran the colt last year in the Nursery Stakes ut Jerome Park, and he was third to Rucheriurd and Relorm on that occasion. He has growu finely since and is us grand a racehorse in appearance as any on the grounds. Mr. Lioyd'sold the cult a lew weeks ayo to Mr. Lorillard tor what he considered @ good price, yet his owner more than cleared the colt yesterday afternoon by his winnings, and he will, no doubt, win many other races with him, as Attila wili be found, when put to the test, pretty nearly a tirst class racehorse. The third race was a free handicap sweepstakes, one mile and an eighth, There were jor starters 1. B, & W. R. Davis’ chesvnut borse Fadladeen, J. H. Tully’s bay horse buckden, Josepn Donahue’s brown colt Artist, James McKee & Co.’s chestnut filly Minnie Mac and D. D. Withers’ bay colt Min- strel, Fadladeen had the call in the vetting and sold for first choice im mearly every pool but im one or two both Artist an as he did. The fleld, whicn compra’ Buckden and, Minstrel, also sold for nearly as much as the favorite in some of the povls, The Paris mutuals paid $16 70, Fadladeen won the race by a length, Buckden sec- oud by a head, artist third. [t was a capita! race from atart to finish, and gave great satisiaction. The race wae run in capital time—1 :573%4—the fast- est on record being 1:5632, made at Saratoga io 1869, by Fanny Ludlow. ‘The fourth race was another free handicap, one mile and five jurlongs. For this there were but two starters. These were D. McDauiel’s chestuut colt Springbok, with 114 lbs. up, and Joseph Dona- hue’s mare Lizzie Lucas, carrying 105 Ibs. There was no pool betting on this race, us Spring- bok was too weli Snown to risk much against bim ima race of this kind. Tne Poris Mutuals, how- ever, did some business and paid $6 70, Spring- bok suffered Lizzie Lucas to lead for five iuriongs, when, with a rush, ‘he passed her and exhibited such a flight of speed for half a mile as has seldom been seen on an American race course. Spring- bok galloped home fifty yards in front of the mare, and made the quickest time for s mile and five furlongs by three seconds ever known. Harry Bas- sett ran the distance at Jerome Park on the 10th of Juue, 1971, in 2:56, and Springbok went over the same ground yesterday in .:53, When Springbok and Tom tabs | meet for the Saratoga Cup, there will be some “‘tall”” running, depend on it, and the winner will be sure of having been at the races, ‘The filth race was another free handicap sweep- stakes, two miles and a half, and five good ones started for the money and the honors. These were Lawrence and G. Lorijlard’s bay horse Shylock, | care 3 ibs.; P. Lorulard’s chestnut horse Village Blacksmith, with 108 Ibs. up. ; D. McDaniel’s chestnut filly Kuty Pease, 107 Ibs.; W. W. Glean’s chestnut colt Merodac, 102 ibs., and M. A. Liiteli’s chestnut colt Fellowcralt. Katy Pease was a great favorite, selling in many of the pools for more than all tie others combined. Shylock was the second choice, Village Blacksmith the third, Merodac the fourth and Fellowcraft the filth. There was & great deal of money wagered on this race and the backers of Pease won heavily, aithot only paid $7 90. It was by far the best race of the day, aud the winner had nothing to spare at the finish, for both Merodac and Fellowcrait were close at her heels, Katy Pease won bya half length only, Merodac second, half a length in front | of Fellowcralt, Shylock was not a good Iourth, and Village Blacksmith was far behind, The latter pulled up lame, which will excuse him for being Bu far BiG The sixth race and closing event of the meeting was a match for $2,500 a side, hall forieit, between P. Lorillard’s bay colt James A., and Lawrence and G. Lorillard’s brown colt Hyder Alt, both two-year-olds, the distance belig three-quarters of a mile. The only betting on this Tace at the pool stand was $750 to $300 on James A., and the odds won, The Paris Mutuais paid $690. Both these colts were raised by A. Welch, at Chestnut Hill, near Philadelphia, and ® is Strange that the capabilities of the’ youngsters Were uot better Known by the Messrs. Loriilards.

All the vest scullers in the city are mem- bers of one or other of the Hariem clubs, and as these annual regattas on the Hariem are the only opportunities in ana about New York waters in which these amateurs can test ther respective akill as oarsmen, un- less, indeed, in ma races, to-morrow's display witl be unxtous.y welcomed.

The trial heats for single sculls wii) be rowed first, and in this heat Tom Keator, the victor of the juniors at Saratoga last year, anu the winner of the single scull prize | on the Schuylkill last week, Will compete with Yates, his old antagonist of Saratoga lake, and Wiiltamson who will do battle for the Gramerctes, ‘The second neat will see Wiliam B, Curtis, of the Athieic Club, the champion of the river, and perhaps one of the best scullers in the country, at the stakeboat, having for his opponent little Davy Kosene, o1 the Nautilus Club. This will be a warmly contested heat, both oarsmen being resolved to do the best he Knows how for hts club, In the thi: d heat Pierce of the Gramercy Club and Peckwell o! the Dauntless Club will measure gars, and trom the fact that both men are champions of their respective ciuos the contest will not lack interest. Ajler the trial heats for single scullers the iour-oared sheiis will be called, The Gramercy four aad the Athletics four will be the first to commence the racing. In these heats, unlike those for the singie scuilers, the distance of which is one mile straight away from the powder schooner to Macom»’s vam Bridge, the crews will Tow # two-tile scraight away course, that is. from the powder schooner to Migh Bridge instead, The Gramercy crew will labor under the disad- vautage of having to row with @ new man at the bow oar—a very important considera- tion when it Is considered that the bow oarsman 13 also the coxswain of the boat. The Athletics, on the coutrary, Will have @ good, weil trained, though light crew. In the second heat the Atalantas wiil have «n papery of testin: the English stroke oi the New York Rowing oli four, who are strong believers in the imported sys- tem, Ax the Atalanta’s race with Yale is off, aud the New York crew pull a similar stroke to that of Yale, it wav prove somewhat consoling to ‘Doc’? Withers if his crew should succeed in “walking away” with the system which Yule cultivates aud tne New York copies. In the race whicn succeeds the pairs oi the New York, Nassau and Hariem Will strive for the honors of tne Ladies’ Challenge prize. In this dasu—which will be « mile straight away—tho one trial will settle tue question, and to the ‘victors will be awarded the prize. Wilbur Bacon, the famous stroke of Yale in days gone by, will take his oid place, with Frank Ellison in the bow of the boat, to-morrow. That they will have to work for victory is evident, from the fact that Krank Brown and John A. Walker, of the Nassans, fresh {rom their achievements on the Schuylkill last week, where they won the prizes for pairs and doubles against the rowiny ‘orce of Schuylkili navy, will be their Opponents. The Nassau Cinb also won the Ladies’ Cuailenge prize last year, and that the two oars- men mentioned will do their “level best” to hold on to that which was won twelve months ago no ' one for @ moment doubts, ‘The pair from the Har- lem show considerable pluck, ana wili aiso take a hand ip this race, and, altiough the pair is a light one, it wili suow @ good record when tne time is taken. The final neat tor singles, the victor of which will hold tor one year the diamond sculls of the association, will hen be rowed, and the day’s regatta will conclude with the final weats for fours, whic will be rowed irom High Bridge down the river to the powder schooner.

THE RIVERSIDE REGATTA | Match Race Between the Resolute Boat Club, of Washington Heights, and the Carman Boat Club, of Carmansville— The Carman Boys the Victors, Yesterday evening there was alarge gathering of ladies and gentlemen in front of the Riverside House and on the banks of the Hudson at Car- mansyville, to witness the sixX-oared barge race between members of the Carman and Resolute Boat Cinbs. A great number of prominent boating men from the Harlem Club were also present, The crews of the two boats were as follows: —Resolute crew—8S. P. Weir, bow; Charles Badgly, 2; 5.

Shortly after five o'clock the boats came to their stations. and when the word “Go” was given, both boats got away together. The Car- Mans got ashgh’ lead at first ind were pulling a quick, bervous stroke, but the Resolntes shortly overuatied them and got the lead, The Resolutes were pulling in better form than their opponents, who, however, were rowing with greater snap and sending their boat nicely through the water. When within a quarter of a mile of the stake boat, the race being one mile and return to the starting point, the Carmans put on a svurt, got even, and passed the Resvlutes and turned the stakeboat first, The race home waa pulled spiritediy and well by both crews, and the advantage the Car- mans gained they heid to the end, winning the race by fourteen and three-quarter seconds, and beating the Resolutes by about one and a naif lengths, Single Scull Race. The barge race was succeeded by @ single scull race for a handsome stiver cup, offered for compe- tition by Mr. Gowan Duncalf, of the Riverside House, Although the entries for this race exceeded twenty tn number onty two of the competitors came to the starting post, These were Frank Yates, of the Athletic Club, and Rudolph Schaick, of the New York, both Harlem River organizations. Yates will be a competitor on Monday, and as he is a stranger to New York waters, hailing as he does from “Out West,” great curiosity was mantlested to see him handle his scul This race was Yates’ from the start and Schaick seem to know it, Both men rowed quietly, making no great time, Yates coming in first easily and capturing the prize.

Regatta of the New York Yacht Club. There has been no lack of excitement in the yachting line during the past ten days, a8 al! the yacht clubs have held their opening regattas and stretched the wings of their ocean racers tn the annua) trial of speed. The clerk of the weather was evidently more favorably disposed towards yachting this season, as the New York and Brook- lyn Yacht clabs satied their regattas in a good breeze ol wind, which proved jar more interesting than the drifting that fell to the lot of the less for- tunate Atlantic Yacht Club. The entries in the regattas have not been as usual, owners in most instances preferring to cruise around with a party of guests on board and look on. The racing fever was rag- ing about two or three years ago, but has gradu- ally abated ever since. In fact, with two or three exceptions, yacht owners appeur to prefer sailing by themselves, and when they get some rival yacht at a disadvantage give her a brush, and then The Ladies amuse themselves that evening blowing about the | wonderful speed of their yachts and how they beat everything afloat. Some few years ago yachtsmen had more vim and enterprise, and were always ready to accept a challenge from a rival and both would go out to sail in- foolish to race against him, Things are all changed nowadays, and although there are as many fast yachts as ever challenges are left unanswere 1 and the spirit and heart o1 yachting 1s gradually dwin- ding away. The Regatta Committee of the New York Yacht Club, having noticed the compara- tively slicht interest that was taken in their an- Dual regatta by yacht owners,made some inquiries as to the cause thereot, and were tniormed by some Of the absentees that it spoiled hall the en- joyment of yachting having to put yachts on the ways, Clean them off, stow their anchors and chains below, unship their boats and hire @ racing crew. ‘They added it was only for a day one would not mind, but it takes a week to get the boats in order again. The Regatta Committee saw the iorce of this argument, | and in order to afford the members of the club and | thetr lady iriends a chance of seeing the magnifl- cent fleet that carry the New York signal to the fore, have sent out a circular, giving the sailing Teguiations of the LADIES’ REGATTA, - which is to be sailed on Thursday, June 25. The competing yachts will be divided into four classes— keel schooners, first class centreboard sclooners, second class centreboard schooners and sloops, It will be a suuscription race, sailed on time allow- ance, $50 entrance for the keel schooners and $25 entrance in the other three classes, A novelty in the sailing regulations, which has been introduced by the Regatta Committee in order to suit the ideas of some of the yacht owners, 18 the clause which orders all anchors and chains to be kep? in their proper places, guns in position, bonts | on davits, and also vetoes all balloon canvas, so that the ordinary crgw can easiy handle the yacht, This will viFtually bé Sailing the race ip cruising trim, and must certainly entice some yacits into the contest whose owners have been advocating such a rule for the past two years. They now have their views carried out, and will be able to give the ladies @ prac. tical illustration of the wonderiul speed of the yacht that can beat everything afloat, The programme has now been issued some two or tnree days, and, strange to Say, none of the cruis- ing trim racers have yet been heard from. and the ouly entries made are the Tidal Wave and Idler in | the first class centrevoard schooners, the Peer- less in the second class centreboard and the Vision in the sioops.
