6 HONMOUTH PARK RACES. Third Day of the Second Summer Meeting. A Large and Fashionable Attendance, CAPITAL RACES. Sweet Lips the Winner of the Thespian Stakes, Bonaventure of the West End Hote! Stakes, :Vandalite the Two Mile Heats and Woodbine the Long Branch Stakes, FOUR ‘The delightful weather and the attraction of four races had the effect of drawing from the city and the Branch a very large attendance of spectators NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDA racer as he shot by the stand. To them the fashion was seemipgly @ terrible thing, this proxy busi- ness; possibly they considered it (oily in & man, but surely crime in @ woman. And yet, despite the irowns of such ax these, the majority of the Indies enjoyed their little pastime and the men were not scared out of the:r wits or the horses scandalized because of it! HOMKWARD BOUND, Tosay that the day was heartily enjoyed by every one would be but teiling half the story, Ib could not have been more thoroughly deugitiul ; and when the last race was run and those who had placed their hopes and fears upon Survivor oniy to Oud that it mad gone where the odbine”? twineth, there went out into the roadways as weil Batisted a set Of gainers and losers as ever went 10 a race track. And this despite the beat, which bad become intense, and a shower oO! rain alter- ward, which sent many Wayfarers who had come on foot and in their carriages back to the Branch wet to the skin, THE RACING. as Four races were on the card—the first the Thes- plan Stakes, @ dash of three-quarters of a mile, by two-year-olds; the second the West End Hotel Stakes, a dash of one mile and three-quarters, for three-year-old Miles; the third two mile heats, for all ages, and the fourth a dash of one mile and three-quarters, for all ages, carrying 100 Ibs, Eight came to the post or the Thespian Stakes, and seven ran, one being leit at the post. The to Monmouth Park yesterday. It is true that in the early forenoon the heat was intense; but about noon a refreshing breeze sprung up, which tem- pered the sun’s rays sufficiently to make even Tamble over-the qnarter streten comfortable, in- wtead of being, as it was tue day previous, a toll and a tribulation to even the irrepressible dealers 4m pool promises. The sky Was somewhat over clouded about noon, and the ladies, wno were out tm full force “dressed tur to kill,” as one of the | colored boys expressed tf, had many misgivings as | to what the painful result of a rainy day would | bring about for ther silks and satins and loves of | Donnets that were never intended for an airing ‘but on the brightest days in summer; and yet the elouds that hung over the course like a great | Diack pall, and the occasional mutterings of the tmonder in the dista and the quick, sharp flastes of lightning that every now and then made the prevailing darkness ail the deeper by their very vividness, proved in the end but A BLESSING LN DISGUISE; for, when the rain did come down, as it finally did am downright earnest, it made short, sharp and de- esive work of it, lasting just long enough to lay the dust on the track nicely and to render the at- mosphere delightfully cool The quarter stretch wae densely crowded when the storm broke over the course, and for a few minutes there was a luvely scene as the rain swept down upon the un- forvunates who had come irom the city without umbrellas. Even the sturdy horsemen, who never | seem to move at any time twenty feet beyond the | pool stand, lest they might lose a good bargain, | were forced to @ouble quick, and that, too, just as the Doctor ‘was endeavoring to bolster up a large pool to twice its natural proportions, Yet the Doetor | himself was in no way dismayed.

Tiese two filiues of Cotirili’s, it wii be remembered, were beaten for the Monmouth Oaks, by kegardiess, by the riders of tne files not ‘obeying orders, Baunerette being sent away on that occasion to | | make the running, but sne did not Make toe pace | strong enough Iroin tue start, and the consequence | was they were beaten.

But the clouds fimally crept eastward, and the Doctor had the watisiaction of beholding his friends again crowd- ing about him dry shod and cool as cucumbers, and | miore determined than ever, now that It was cer- tain that the alternoon was to be a bright one, to secure “the winner not yet sold,” or tue nexs best thing to it. THE CROWDS | tmat filled the grand staud were, as usnal, mostly | from the city direct, although the majority of the | Jadies who made the souti end of it so light and attractive by their presence came from the Branch. Not indeed that many of taem did not come down | sm the boat from the city, but it seems to be con- | sidered the thing by the belles, of an uncertain age | especially, to arrive at the course in all the glory | of a hired carriage; and vo accomplish | Shis those who leit the city in the fore- | Boon quietly stepped of the train at the | Branch station and perjo;med the remainder of heir journey in the (Supposed) more aristocratic | manner. And how they evjoyed themselves, did some of the dear creatures, when they got to the | course! During the two mile heat race, for in- stance, when in the second heat Felluwcratt and Vandalite came tearing down the homestretch neck and neck, and when all tue men were rusu- | img down from the stand to the quarter stretch, | excited to the highest pitch, as only mep can be | when they have wagered their bundreds on the cast of a die, 80 to Speak, several of the lairest of tne fair sat Cpe reading novels, while one who, nad women had the right, could have voted in the | days oi -“lippecanoe and Tyler too," stuck to her needlework without even once raising her head! vniy When the announcement that the second heat and the race had been won by Vandalite was greeted by the loud cheering on the part of Ahe sterner sex on the quarter stretca— who, 80 close had Fellowcrait pushed bim for the victory, had been obliged %© await the official decision to know what was what—did the novels close and the needle cease fis plying. “What are those horrid men yellin, avont!” exclaimed the ancient one, as she adjusted her specs so as the better to cast a withering look | wbout her, “Cant they wait until the race be- gins?” And it is highly probable that she and her Rovel-reading friends will again pay their “en- trance fees’? on Saturday to be present at the | races. While speaking of this bevy of beauties, Who did so much to add to the enthusiasm of « THE DAY'S SPORT, it May not be out of piace to say that all the ladies | did not partake of their peculiar way of enjoyin, it. By no means. There were many oright-eyed | giris on the stand who took just as active 4 part in ‘What was going on as the men themselves, Nor did they confine themselves to a mere matter of fact clapping of hands when a fayorite horse came in | a winner or to the vain endeavor to harran as | wtoutly as the gentiemen who acted as thelr | ‘d of honor, for not a few entered into the povl | ying business with as keen a zest as the most enthusiastic curfite could have shown in his Lap. piest numor. In tact, the only thing wanting in ‘the picture as they talked horse and pulled out | ‘their dainty pocketbooks ana drew out their fives and tens to make good their penchant toward one | horse and another was the presence of the pool | wehier himsel{ to take down the names of the pur- | chasers, and, whenever he conid get in a word edgewise in the bidaing for first choice, to tell them what he knew about the winner tnat ne aye is never sold whiie the poo! is open and what @miserabie duil place a racecourse would be if Jovely woman refused ever to grace it with her | presence. Can any one who las ever been led away, as if by @ Will-o’-the-wisp of a dark night, | when the Doctor was in one of his talka tive moods and ready to teil everylody every secret point about every horse that wasever | destined to run a race, imagine what he would way or do if the women folks Were ade an active part and parcel of his daily audience’ the pretty Things he would say and the deceits he would prac- | tise upon bis old male customers in order to give bie fair friends | THE INSIDP TRACKS ?

But gias! such an opportuotty has never yer been afforded the lively litue man, and it may yet take | years before the women Will have gained this ines- | Uimaple right to do openiy asthe men do at the | races.

The smalier boats were cast off at 11b. lm. and the larger boats at 1h, Sm. The wind was southwest by west one-haif west, The Emma Sophta got rather the best of the start | in her class, with the Gibson and Lanthier close | behind, The Zephyr secured a slight lead on the seud-off in the second class, The Crombie and | Skip Jack did not appear to be well in hand until Ward’s Isiand was passed. All, however, did equally well before the wind. Tne Lanthier se- cured the leaa before reaching College Pot and held it to the stakeboat. Then arose two succes- sive jouls whicn resulted in both tne Gibson |-and the Lanthier being ruled out of tne race. ‘The Lanthier was leading, closely pressed by the Gibson, and when within about 200 feet of the stakeboat the | Gibson, which held @ better wind than her rival, | crossed just astern of the Lantier, and it 18 claimed fouled her maiusheets, The Lanter heid | her course and the Gibson was forced to pass the | buoy on the wrong, or windward, side, Ahead of the buvy she encountered ber rival again. the lat- ver having luted round, and anotner collision | took place, It was claimed also by the judges that the Lanthier struck the buoy in passing. Meanwhile the Emma Sophia and the Crombie | rounded and got off jor home. The Gibson jibed | and went back and turned the buoy in the right direction. ‘The official time will be found below. THE SLOOPS OF THE SECOND CLASS had been dvuing good work. The SkipJack followed the Sophia round the stakeboat, aud the Zepnyr reached it just as the Gibson was getting around it the second time. A struggle tuen began be- tween the Gibson and the Lanthier. The Sophia meanwinle was leading the field and doing won- dertully, when, just oi the mouth of Westchester Creek, at 12h, 55m., sailing closed hauied, she took a “knock down,” partially tilled, lost her ballast 10 leeward and instantly sunk to winaward, The | down the backstretca Cariboo weut to the front | fault was evidently in the way the jib was handled. The Gibson and Lantmer soon overhawed the Crombie, the first mentioned having regained all her lost distance and secured a good lead. Thus they came down Hell Gate, with # strong ebb tide bearing toward the goal. The Gibson came like a gale, with her bulwarks down tn tue water and her crew clinging to the windward side. The Lanrbier followed taree minutes later and the | Crombie came ijast. The Skip Jack skipped in first, followed, twebve minutes later, by tne Zephyr. The judges deliberated over tncir decision until | six o’clock, when, in consequence of the Iouls, they | decided in favor of the T. J.

CREEDMCOR. The Sixth Regiment, N. G. 8. N. ¥., at Rifle Practice Yesterday—A Splendid Day, but Decidedly Poor Scoring. Yesterday morning the Sixth regiment, N. G. 8, N. Y., Lieutenant Colonel Wycke commanding, proceeded to the Creedmoor ranges for rifle prac- tice. The men. were supplied with one day's ra- tion before commencing the march, and they fired five rounds of ball cartridge ammunition at each of the 200 and 600 yard ranges. Firing began at about ten o'clock A. M, Tne regiment turned out 160 men, officers in- cluded, all of whom burned the number of rounds allowed them by the State, Of the deld and staff six men shot at 200 yards, and two went back to 500 yards, Company A had sixteen men at the shorter range, and none of them went back to the longer. Company B mustered twenty men at 200 yards, and none of them qualitied for 500, Com- pany C showed nineteen rifles on the ground at long. Company D did the best, sending seven out of seventeen mento the 500 yards range. Out of twelve men E company sent none back, while f° company managed to have two out of twenty-two riflemen qualify for 600 yards. Company H had twenty-seven men in the fleld, ana managed to get ‘our of them go to long range, while Company Lhad eleven muskets out, none af wnom went to long distance. The day was one of the finest this season for shooting, There was little sun, and nardly enough of a light wind blowing across the line of ftre to in- terfere at all with the Might of the bullet or cause @ perceptibie deflecton, Among tne gentlemen present were Colonel Vilmar, Eleventh regiment, National Guard; Lieutenant Colonel Umbekannet, Eleventh regiment; Adjutant Wimmel, Kieventh regiment; Captain Dongias, ‘uty-iourth regi- ment, Inspector of Musketry, cond brigade, First division, National Guard, The indefatigable Superintendent Bostwick Was at vis post on the range, overseeing the construction of a ence that Wii inciose, when finished, the entire grounds of the National Rifle Association, It will be noted that out of 150 marksmen only 17 were able to make the minimum test of 8 points on the first score, to enable them to go back to 600 yards, It will alse be seen that 21 points 18 the highest score made, and the aggre- gate of the twelve best scores sums up to 171 points, which is the shortest score by far ot any Tegiment that bas v sited Creedmoor tuis summer, It 1s due to the regiment to say that whatever shooting some of tie men may have induiged in after tueir regular scores were shot, there was no doctoring or, fixing of ticket# on the range. 1t cannot be said that the Sixth was either very | bibulous or very boisterous during the day; but it | is painiul, though just, to record the tact that the corps showed the least signs of discipliue or mill- m tary cohesiveness of any body of th atiol Guard which has (ms year been out to rifle pri tice. The rank and file are apparentiy unaware of the resiraints of military discipline, and | idea of their duty or the manner of properly | commanding the men committed to their charge | by the State. One particular corporal grossly m- | sulted and shamelessly abused his captain, using | the most degrading epitnets and opprobrious | terms towards him that tongue could conceive. The officerseemed to think it was all right, and neither checked nor arrested his muunous sub- ordinate. These tacts are not related in any spirit ot unkindness towards the Sixth, but military men who witness tue antics of some of our citizen selves why do not tue proper authorities interiere and enforce discipline and obedience to orders. Acommission of regular ofMicers who would deal severely and without respect of persons with some corps of the State militia would do much good. The deienders of American liberties should be taught to know the difference between a Mul- hgan Guard target excursion and a day ander arms at the national rifle range, THE SCORE, Range, Names, Yards, Score, Totals, Private Yager, Co.

Not long since the building lately used as the Eleventia regiment armory, on the northeast cor- | down to be replaced by several tenement houses. In making the necessary excavations for the foun- dation the laborers came upon two headless bodies | near the street. They seemed to have had tne | heads removed in order to prevent identification, | and were covered with white sand, such as is nsed in sanding floors, on the top of which huge stones were piled. Some sixteen bodies were removed from beneath the building, but their presence was accounted for by the fact that the building was Jormerly used as a churen, There is a remarkable history about the old pril, 1819, JOHNSON CHASE, Pastor. POLO DEERE NCLE NEEL IELELEIEDETEEDIE TEE EE: weeree Some years later, during the Millerite excite- ment, this building was used by tia: sect asa place of meeting, and a strange story,is told of a number of young men, who, opposing:the Millerite doctrines, let loose a large Mock of pigeons in the church during @ meeting. Great excitement was caused, and when the pigeons flew at the lights the faithiul regarded it as the seeond coming of the Saviour and robed themselves in the habiliments which were to take them at once into Paradise. After the Millerite excitement died out the church passed into the hands ol a veterinary surgeon, who had the lower part altered, an? stabled horses there, the upper part being occupied at the same time as an armory by the Eleventh regiment N. ¥.5.M. | HOW THE TWO HEADLESS BODIES came there isa matter o! conjecture; but Jacob | Leon, one ol the oldest residents ot the neignbor- hood, advances the tdea, from the position in which they were found and being headiess, that they must have been murdered. The others, he has no dvubt, were the bodies of soldiers who were killed or died in the war of the Revolution. Most of the land now known as tie Tenth ward was at that time called Delancey’s Farm, Tims man De- lancey being a rank tory tne First regiment of Hex- sians, under Colonel Hn yphaussen, encamped on his farm, near the site of the old church, and it is reasonable to suppose that the bodies recently found were those of some of ts soldiers, THE ESCAPE FROM JEFFERSON MARKET PRISON, Considerable excitement was occasioned yester- day by the announcement that six prisoners had | made their escape from Jefferson Market Prison. | Waraen Quinn, of the Tombs, who was commis- sioned to inquire into the facta, relieves the oMecials in charge of all blame, The fugitives, whose names have been already published, belonged to the class known as ten day prisoners, who were detained on temporary commitments for trivial charges. Discharges had, in fact, been prepared for them, and they only anticipated their release in due legal torm by a few hours, The ten day house, which is apart from the prison, is a jong dungeon, at the end of which Is a register used in winter lor heat- ing, or rather suffocating purposes. Through this | the prisoners craw.ed until they reached tne coal vault, the fastening to which is not sesured. They raised the cover and easily xe their free- dom. No blame can be attached to amy one ex- cepting the authorities whose parsimony prevents the prisons being Kept in decent order and repair. It is fortunate that in this instance the prisoners were not of a class to interest the public to any great extent in depriving them of their liberty. PRODUOB EXCHANGE, Messrs.

But such & power is unnecessary i clues, and ought never ‘o be granied by the Legislature. The power is again conterred by the closing puragrap. of the third section in terms the purport ot Wh®h ‘aonot be mistaken, Bestdes this power the company is authorized by the third section to purchase property usetul or necessary to carry out its objects and purposes, And again, by the fourth Section, anu as ii this was not enough, the Mayor, Aldermen and Comimonalty of the city are authorized by ixth section Wo acquire, sell and convey to the com- imple such real estate and property as may be it ry to carry out the objects and purposes authorized by the act, a provision as extraordinary in its purpose as it 1s indeduite in its scope. ‘ dSecoud—The Company ts authorized by the fifth section to coustruct an elevated railroud ai least fitcen tees high, with ‘our tracks, from a point ator near the Bat- tery, along the Hudson Kiver to a poiwt to be located by itself between 110th and dist streets; thence to the Harlem River by a curve line, thence to and along the Last itiver to the place of b In case the railway is constructed upon authorized to enclose ‘hem for warchouses or r” purposes, Under the alternative purposes there is no limitation to the uses to which these enclosed arches may be applied.
