MONMOUTH PARK RACES. Second Day of the First Summer Meeting. Fine Weather and Fashion- able Attendance. Toils and Troubles of a Ride to the Track. SCENES AT THE COURSE. THREE GOOD RACES. Caroline the Winner of the Hopefal Stakes, Donnybrook the Two Mile Heats and Tom Bowling the Monmouth Cup. ‘The second day of the summer meeting at Mon- | mouth Park was everything, in a meteorological point of view, that the most ardent turfite would wish. The morning boats and trains were crowded, and the attendance at the course was very large. Yet from the favorite watering place the visitors were few and far between, The great metropolis gent for the day the greater number of the patrous of the course. They were many end motley, Fashion was there in its most conspicuous form, and its opposite Might be found on the forward decks of the boats, the platforms of the cars and the outer edge of the course. The ride from Long Branch to its representative race track abounds in pleasant views of country summer seats, Arcadian ike villages and overwhelming dust. There are old-fashioned Jersey homesteads, grimy in their @ust and age and venerabie in their reminiscences, Plethoric in their barefooted youngsters and seedy im their mahogany faced elders. Again, when the @lond of dust rises, a glimpse is afforded of a neat, mewly painted, honeysuckled, cheerful looking cottage which needs not the special New York stamp on it to tell its origin. Then comes a Jersey toligate, and tiey are as numerous as mosquitoes 4p that Paradisiacal region. A man emerges from an unsightly abode, and his. face in the blazing sunlight seems like a piece of wood with a great many knots in it, and his voice like @ saw calcu- lated to cut such knots, The thrifty character of | our neighbors across the Hudson being appeased the cortége passes on, Then our driver, being a Ihttle in advance of the usual procession of vehicles from the —— Hotel, Long Branch, becomes unaccountably forgetful of the correct course leading to the Park. A discussion ensues | between him and the occupants of the vehicle. The journalist, judging from the last night's posi- tion of the comet, advises 1o steer nor’-nor’-west, the brilliant actor says that a reef in the cover of the vehicle would be better and the dramatic en- trepreneur wisely suggests to ask the first abori- gine that comes along what would con- stitute a bee line, irrespective of fences, for the desired track, A native of the soil, | planted between two huge wheels, whose orbits | geemed to rival those of the fixed stars, hove in Bight, impelled by inoffensive oxen, and to him the solution of the dificulty was intrusted. Witha great many interludes of “Gee-hup!” the intelli- gent contraband, or native, suddenly forsook bis mormal obtuseness and vouchsafed the im- portant information “to keep on.” After keep- img on a half mile or so—and those Jersey miles seem to be constructed on & gutta percha pattern—the driver puiled up oppo- te an unmistakable staked fence, over which another native was leaning. This scion of the soll grinned and sarcasticaily advised the vehicle and itsoccupants 10 go back to “Brown’s” and take the road to the right. After anathematizing the aloresaid scion and the intelligent native, and wiabing that the laws of the State regarding homt- tide were more lenient, we got back to Brown's aad thence to the track. THE LAST TRAIN * fad just puffed its way up to the abode of crack Rorseflesh and was disgorging its quota of race- toving humanity, and the povlseller (a private ar- rangement), the ten cent cigar man, the litue joker philosopher, the ‘clothes-brush darky, the blatant stage driver, the man who bets (irom $1 to $10 without a cent in his pocket) and the special detective from the city were all actively employed. The hot July sun poured down, and a great deal of warm lager becr, pig's fect done up in cremation style and hard Boiled eggs followed suit before the immense srowd contrived to squeeze past the quarter stretch guardians. Inside there was breathing room, and yet the dulcet tones of Underwood and the constant clicking at the Paris mutuals gave Uttle repose to the excited crowd that surged in | through the gates. THE BETTING i] ‘was one of the features of the course, Here was the Doctor, very red in the face and very limp in the shirt collar, frantically calling the attention of Im converse, whe on the gentle breeze was borne the rich fragrance of many an opening flower, ‘then when the sun climbed up and at high noon turned on all his fires on the well raked track, one would imagine a scene such as was pre- ared for Queen Elizabeth at Kentworth by her favorite Dudiey, when naught was seen among the gallants but veivet and cloth of gold and silver, nivbons, feathers, gems and golden chains. In this case the velvet and cloth were represented by dusters, the gold and silver by greenbacks and | the feathers by fve-cent fans. Among the fair ones the July sun gave no reason for any one to say that ‘The air hath starved the roses in her cheeks And pinched the lily tincture of her face; for rouge Was an unnecessary concomitant of the toilet on the occasion, The fringe of woods out- side the course /ormed an appropriate frame to the bustling picture that made up the second day’s racing at Monmouth Park. THE RACING, The admirers of the turf had another good day’s racing at Monmouth Park yesterday afternoon. The speculators—those who make horses great favorites, In many instances without reason—met with heavy losses, as the favorites were beaten in the frst and second races; and even in the third race, with Tom Bowling left out of the pools, they were losers again. The track was in fine order, but was not fast. The first of the three races was for the Hopeful Stakes, for two-year-olds, a dash of half a mile, which had seven starters; the second race two mile heats, and the third the Monmouth Cup, @ dash of two miles and a haif, The Hopeful Stakes closed with twenty-four nominations, seven of which came to the post. These were August Belmont’s thesnut filly Caroline, by Kentucky, dam imported Camilla; L. A. Hitchcock's chestnut filly ino, by Daniel Boone, dam Isadore Hill; P, Loriilard’s bay colt James A., | by Leamington, dam Malden; F. Morris’ bay filly, by Eclipse, dam Prophetess; John F. Caamberiin’s | gray flily Lizzie R., by Aster, dam Fairy; F. W. Hunt Reynolds’ chestnut fitly Aniella, by Australian, dam La Grande Duchesse, and H. P, McGrath’s chestnut colt Aristides, by Leamington, dam Sarong. Mr. Lorillard’s colt James A. was the multitude to the fact that the Blacksmith was | going. A queue, extending over fifty yards, wound its devious way towards the French poois, One man, of redundant proportions, held between his tiny fingers hundreds of dollars intrusted to bis care by perspiring friends who could not get im line in time, and all hopeful of the indi- vidual results of the Hopeful Stakes, After the race there was another queue, formed of winners oo anxious to get the: money they had won and forgetful of the fact that their checks were as sure as those of a bank. Pools were formed in hats, in | which the names of the contending steeds were registered on improvised ballots. Ladies draw- img from the nats, we remarked, were @ddicted to the uniair propensity of taking sly peep bi claimed a fou on the grand stand the array of beauty was be- .Wildering, and led the observer to think that like ‘the lilies of the field “Solomon in all his glory was ‘Rut arrayed like one of these.” THE FABLIONS. The diversity which exists in the matertals of Jadies’ toilets and the few lavorite styles that have heid their own this season formed a special tea- ture. ‘the simple and convenient polonaise, the reity sleeveless jacket were there in profusion. Beantuut toilets of muslin and wide, fine ‘Valenciennes Jace over silk, dotted the front benches, and at the club house the veranaa was decorated with those new sashes of alternate stripes of ribbon and Jace insertion of the Vivien pattern. The skirts of the dresses, ted back by Strings placed inside the breadths at the sides, the fronts being quite tight and the backs long and flowing, were very becoming. Garments wrougat all over or heavily trimmed with English em- pbroidery, adorned the forms of the exclusives, and in siiks the variety was overpowering. ‘There was a great variety in the summer bon- nets, and some of them were exceedingly eforehand, The fair lovers aiways | 1, Which was promptly allowed. But | | \ Tetty. | Charming hat bonnets, as the new styles are | ol American chip, were bound upon the h black velvet, & white scart twisted e crown, the ends floating behind and holding clusters of red and white currants, bunches of which also ornament the front. Simple littie bonnets for country wear were trimmed with white twilled silk handkerchiels, sometimes Dordered, sometimes dotied with a color. The Square handkercnieis Were used, and they were laid over the crown, one corner towards the front; but there was an art in arranging them gracefully, Very coquettish hats of Leghorn were turned up. higi on one side aud feathered with a bunch of large, bright red cherries and black lace, a heavy ‘scarf of pinck netted lace being twisted round the erown, and leaves and cherries intermingled in & ght wreath. Charming little bine silk capotés had a cal trown covered with clear muslin, edged with fail Df wide Valenciennes lace. Inside the brim was plaiting of French muslin, or crépe lisse under the brim; on top of the crown large white blush or cluster of nedge roses, and in iront of the brim & Wreath of rosebuds, Bonnets of black lace were ornamented with ight jet and wreaths and branches of elderberry. THE SCENE. Long before the first tap of the dram for the hopeiuls—nay, before many of the drowsy ones at the Branch botels had yet bestirred themselves— the scene in the vicinity of the park was as lovely as one would desire, beautiful; the Sweet little songsters warbling their py notes; the soit green sod, from whictt morning sun had not yet dispelled the aparkling dew, ana the Waving of the trees to and iro ag called, edge wit! round thi | others were in motion. the first choice in the pools, Lizzie R. the second in favor, and the field, comprising Ino and Caroline, being the third indemand. Unfortunately for Mr, MeGrath and Chamberlin their entries dtd not get away with the others, and were beaten before they started. Mr. Belmont’s filly Caroline won the race with apparent ease, mach to the delight of those | who have been backing and losing on this stable during the present racing season. They seem to think that a change will now take place, and that victory will perch hereafter on the maroon and red, as it has done in the past. Mr. Hitchcock's filly Ino was second and Mr. Lorillard’s James A. third. This was a “betting race,” in the fullest meaning of the term, the pools being quite numerous and of good proportions, The second race was the best of the day, as it was spiritedly contested throughout, three very fine heats being required to settle the affair, There | were six entries jor the event, five coming to the post. These were John Coffee’s gray colt Donuy- brook, by Lightning, dam Jessamine Porter; James Franklin’s bay mare Arizona, by Lexington, dam imported Zone; M. A. Littell’s che crait, by Australian, dam Aerolits H. P. MeGratl’s bay mare Jury, by Lexington, dam Roxana, and | Lawrence and G. Loriliard’s bay horse Shylock, by Lexington, dam Edith, gan Jury was the favorite, Shylock the second choice, Arizona the third; but after Ari- zona won tie first heat she sold for two to one over the fleld. Donnyorook won the second heat and thea the betting changed again, and the gray colt had the call attwo f© one. Donnybrook won a good race alter three finely contested heats, | proving himself avery good and reliable horse, Both Jury and Shylock disappointed their owners and backers, The great event of the day, however, was the race for toe Monmouth Cup, because the greatest racehorse at present 10 America—tom Bowling— was announced to run for it, and he won it ina canter. Three other horses came to the post to contest for the second and third moneys, amount- img to $450, which had to be taken ont of the stakes, tne whole amount of whicn was $2.700, The horses that started with Tom Bowliug were J, W. Hunt Reynolds’ bay colt Whisper, Messrs. Ransom & Babcock’s bay colt Ransom, and P. Lorillard’s chestnut horse Village Black- amith, In the pools sold without Tom Bowling Village Biacksmith was & great favorite, Ransom the second choice and Whisper third, the lattey having many friends to back lim to win. Whisper was second to Tom Bowling, and, as a matter of course, those Who bet on him won their pools. Vil- lage Blacksmith broke down when a quarter of a | mile from the fintsh, and it is feared will never appear again in a race. Whisper is a well bred horse, of good size, with a very lair turn of speed. | The time made by Tom Bowling in this race was far beuimd that made by Helmbold tor the same trophy at the same place July 80, 1870, which was 4:3314, The time yesterday was 4:42%; but fom’s race yesterday was simply aM exercising gallop, while Helmbold’s was a hard run race, ‘The (ollowing are the details of the running :— The First Race.

The Devilish Crime Little Italian Girl—Who Is the Guilty Person? On Fnday, the 22d day of May, two little gir!s, aged respectively nine and eleven years and of Italian birth, named Celeste Rosavalli and Emilia Badinnolli, were playing in a childish way, as young children will, with brooms, when a negro came along and asked them if they would like to 00k at towers.

At the three-quarter pole ‘om led tnree lengths, Ran- som second, three lengths in front of Village Black smith, the latter being one length in front of Whisper.

Notwithstanding the counter attraction at Long | Branch, there was a large gathering at Deer- to witness | the opening events of the summer trot- ting meeting. These were, first, a purse of $300, for horses that had never beaten three minutes, | here were eleven entries and eight starters. In the pools, before the horses were called to the track, Gussie Was the favorite, even against the heat the admirers of Gussie didn’t think she could lose the race, and ventured their money at these rates:—Gusste, $40; Lagy Blanche, $10; Field, $10, Lady Blancne also scored the second heat, when Gussie went to the front and captured the third and fourth, making two each for her and Blanche, Then came the “tug of war,’ and alter a gallant struggle Lady Blanche won the flith heat and race amid the Fejoicings of her admirers. The second event on the card was & purse of $300, for horses that had never beaten 2:36; mile heats; best three in five, in harness. This brought to the score eight starters—Pollock, Farmer Boy, Elia Madden, Washburn Maid, Harry Gil- bert, hey Annie, Wiliam H, Force and Bessie ; In the pools early in the | race Washburn Maid commanded the highest | figures, Bessie B, second choice, then Gilbert and the fleld, at about even against the three named. Pollock very unexpectedly won the first heat, then Lady Annte took the secold and third heats, when she sold for more money than ali the rest. In the fourth heat Madden and Annie crossed the score firsts and second, but were set back for ranning, and the hea which was made in 2:87, given to Farmer Boy. The fftn heat was scored by Washburn Maid, when, dark- ness coming on, the coutest was postponed until to-day at twelve o'clock, Great dificulty was experienced by the judges in starting the horses for the several heats. ‘The drivers found bit had men in the stand they could “fool” with. they who was half a length | $50 | mite heats, best three in five, in harness, for which | \ 666 | fleld, and although Lady Blanche won the first | | examine the girl &milia or her companion Ce- leste, but reserved his questions jor his own wit- nesses, their evidence did not seem to prove anything ex- copting that they had arrested Baker and had searched the house tu Amity street, finding nothin; there, alive or dead, and that they had searche the house of Baker, in Greene street, who is a Married man, and founa no evidence whatever to need that he had committed the crime. Mrs. ker, A VERY RESPECTABLE LOOKING young woman of mulatto color was present in court, and also there were two witnesses oamed Nixon and Jones for the prisoner. At last Baker was put upon the stand, and ne seemed to be a very decent looking person. He was also a queer looking man, and the bottom of his well-worn trowsers had shrunk up about four inchesin the direction of his knees, He told a very straight- | jorward story, giving his Movements up to the very hour of the day on which the crime was com- mitted. District Attorney Allen questioned him in every Manner possible, and it did not make the accused swerve for one instant. He declared betore God to the jury that he had never in his life seen either of the young giris. And he was a@ father and had a father’s feelings and that he would not Wrong any man’s child. This he spoke to the jury in an earnest tone, causing quite a sensation in Court. Baker also afforded considerable amuse. ment when he was diffident, in stating his con- versation with his friend Nixon at an early period ol the day, but he finally acknowledged that Nixon, whois @ church member, had told him of @ dream and he had GONE DOWN TOWN TO PLAY POLICY on Nixon’s dream. He also declared that he haa never worn a red flannel shirt in his lite and that he was not in the habit of wearing white overalls, The girl had testified to these supposed facts anti Baker's statement had @ great eflect. The two darky friends of Baker were ordered out of Court during the testimony of the prisoner, but word for word they swore to the same statement, showing how they had met on the 224 of May and giving their conversation with him on West Broadway. The prisoner showed how he had whitewashed a room in No. 181 Mulberry street, and when arrested was on his way to collect $1 60 from a Mrs. Graham in West Twenty-first street, for whom he had done @ job on the day previous, ‘Was not informed of the charge against him when arrested, and when taken to the room in which the little girl was lying the brother o/ the girl said | wo his sister, “THATS THE MAN ISN'T IT?" and she declared that she thought it was, but was not positive. When taken to the stauon house, in the precinct of Captain Williams, he was struck on voe head by the turnkey violently, and did not know of iis accusation until he was taken to police headquarters, Judge Sutherland asked the witness several questions and also asked the preners a number of questions, but they seemed to vorrobate each other. When the witness Jones was asked to tes- thy, Ne did not touch the book, but drew his rignt, hand first horizontally and then perpendicularly across his chest. When asked his name, he an- swered, with lond and disunct voice, ‘N-o-a-h— Lorenzo—Jones."” Vint is that?” said Judge Sutherland, ‘a-h—Lorenzo—Jones,’? answered the wit- ness, more emphatically and more slowly than be- fore. i . Noah Lorenzo swore that he drove four-in-hand for Colonel Delevan, who had jately been a member of the Grand Jury aud had known the prisoner for twenty-five years, and that his reputation was as ood as any Other man’s, and that he and witness fiaa never been guilty of playing policy. Judge Sutherland, soon after, adjourned the Court until this morning and cantionewthe jury against speaking ol the case, The burden of the proof seems to rest on the question of identity, and the defence is that it was anotner negro, un- known, who committed the crime.
