» RACING IN BNGLAND, 'The Great Struggle for the Goodwood Cup. Heavy Gambling—Present Aspect of the Betting Question—New Turf Confederacy. Lonpon, August 1, 1874, ‘The social features and the surroundings of the Goodwood race meeting, one of the moss im- portant, as it is one of the pleasantest, of the whole ‘ur! year will doubvtiess be treated by another pen, and I shall therefore plunge without @elay wto the racing, which was not quite up to ‘the average. There bas, fora jong time, been a gad lack of rain, and tbe ground at most of the training quarters has, in consequence, been so ‘Bard that a great many horses have been stopped 4m their work or pursued it ina fitfol manner. It ‘Was on this account that we dia not see at Good- ‘wood many oO! the principal St. Leger candidates, such as George Frederick, Apology, Atlantic, Leo, | 3nus and others, and some of the most remark- @ble two-year-olds, including Gralopin, Cachmere and several more. Of the cup horses three of the ‘best went amiss or were absent lor other reasons, though we saw several good ones that branch ©! eport was not up to the mark. Of the handicaps ‘the Grst in order of time was THE STSWARDS’ CUP, @ short distance race, which generally has a very Jarge entry and leads to an immense amount of Detting, into which speculators seem to enter with the greater spirit, inasmuch as they have only a @nort time to do business, the handicap being published only a few days before the running of ‘the: race, On this occasion there were seventy- three subscribers, and a fleld of twenty-five went ‘to Me post—a rather smaller number than usual. Fraulein, a mare that had never distinguished herself, but had been highly tried with her stuble companion, Lemnos, was made a tremendous Javorite, being backed as i! the race were already @ver. Ohingachgook, a Jair handicap horse, who Dag won a few good races, was next in demand, and after him came Novateur, the represemtative of M. Lefevre’s Anglo-French stable, of whom | Kittle can be said except that he appeared to have ® good chance at light weights. The Pearl, who has not done much for a long time past, ‘was well supported by her party on the Strength of a private trial, and old Oxonian, despite bis weight, appears to be so well suited by the distance that he found many trends. Teacher won & great number of races last year, and appeared to have got as well into the handi- ap as if her owner had framed it himself. Modena @id great things as a two-year-ol4, but she was Jong in retirement until last season, when she was “kept” for this very race, and was beaten by only half a length by Sister Helen when carrying four pounds more than the weight which was now assigned her. Leopard as a two-year-old was promising animal, but he never fulilied the promise. He had, however, been highly tried, and Dis party considered that he had a good chance, Oxtord Mixture is an animal that rarely wins, but generally manages to get into a place. Cantinitre | ‘was the fastest two-year-old 0! her time, but she Bas long been aconfirmed “roarer.”” The best of the others was Thorn, a good racehorse with a very heavy weight. As will be seen from the fol- Towing summary, the race yurnea out @ very one- sided affair, only Mode: 1d Chingachgook hav- ing @ cbance earcnapeel - iB RACE.

Net value of the stakes, £610, or $3,050, THE GOOPWOOD CUP was by far the most interesting race of the meet- ing, but it woula have been much more so had not some of the finest horses in the world been ruck out, There were the “Frenchman” Boi- rd, who recently won the Ascot Cup, but Was now kept in reserve for a gs race at Deanvilie; the other Frenchman, Fiageolet, who in the Ascot Cup ran a dead heat with Doncaster for second place to Bolard and last year carried off the Goodwood Cup, but who had to be ‘‘scrateted," throngh haying broken down on one of his fore- legs; and King Lud, who won the Alexandra Plate ac Ascot, beating Bolard, vat also gave way some time ago.

The struggie that ensued was of jd most exciting character, out Doncaster at length won by a neck. The ore were all pulling up and Miss Toto gained the third place only on sufferance. Time, 4:63}¢. During the meeting there was some ‘ ° TERRIFFIC ‘‘PLUNGING,” such, indeed, as we have not seen since, the wild gambling days of the Marquis of Hastings. An example may be noticed; tne fact thats Sir Thomas Milner taid Prince Soltykom 5,000 to 250 mentees the latter’s colt Baife for next year's Derby. Cap- tain Gerard, of the “Blues,” who cannot afford such amusements, betted 500 to 200 three times on Volturno for a race in which he was beaten by &@ short head. For the same race the Marquis of Banuy laid 8,000 to 1,000 on Voltarno, Mr. Gomm three commissions of £2,000 cash on horses that were beaten. Mr. Russell, w Bipot sqatre, Who is the new “plunger,” invested £2,000 on a horse that came to grief, and Mr. Chaplin the same amount on bis Dily Stray Shot in a race in which she was defeated, and one bookmaker, in the same contest, won £6,000. ‘There was, belore the meeting, a great cry of SUPPRESSING RBADY-MONBY BETTING in consequence of recent prosecutions, and the Duke of Richmond, owner of Goodwood, issued Rotices to the effect that all persons using um- brelias, clogs, stools, hat bande and other insignia of the ready-money bettor er be tarned out of the place. There were none of these signs; but, as & matter of fact, ready-money betting went on as usual and to a great extent, and the police looked on with the greatest calmness.

The inertness, however, has passed off, and the controversy assumes again some interest. It 18 now more week since Mr Have- | meyer’s lengthy and exhaustive answer appeared entire in the HERALD which many persons no doubt Tread with @ great deal of interest. Among these may be classed Governor Dix. The fact that the latter merely published thie document without any comment whatever, or any indication as to what he | proposed to do in the premises leads to many and Various inferences. The most popularly believed fact was that His Excellency merely laid the response of the Mayor before the public to let the public jury decide whether Shere exists ground enough in the charges to condemn tne Mayor, and, if so, in what manner bet Govexnor 18 to remove the offender. Mayor Havemeyer bas not heard one word from the Governor, either through {riends or by letter, indicative of General Dix’s Intention toward bim. Bus Aldermen Ottendorier, John Kelly and Wilham H.

The Case of the Cox victed Conspirater, Reisbeck—Jersey and New York Law= yers in the Role of Biackmatiers< What Van Ecten, the Bond Forger, Said. ‘The histsry of the trial and conviction of Gilbert T. Reisbeck, @ wealthy resident of Hoboken, on an indictment for conspiracy to suborn to perjury one George H. Gardner, of Brooklyn, has already been published in full in the HegaLp. ‘The essence of it 1s that in 1869 John F. Gardner died, leav- ing an estate variously estimated in value at from $45,000 to $65,000, The brothers of deceased, a sister, Mra. Flynn, and some minors were the iT, a to allow a a ops of the Governof’s letter to be published, Ottendorier declined, but said that ‘on receipe ol the document he at once | called upon Messrs, Kelly and Wickham, and iaid | the subject before them. They all agree that no | | investigation bya legal tribunal is necessary, as the Mayor in his answer did pet deny any of the | charges made against him. neither does he ‘join issue)’ and his case ie unlike that of ex-District Attorney Britton, of Brooklyn, who pleaued not guilty to every allegation, and tt became neces- sar; uy to commit his case to judicial investigation.” ie above named gentiemen in their anewer to | the Governor's letter, which is to be transmitted to Albany to-day, will inform his Excellency that Mayor ‘iavemeyer 10 bis answer denied that one Governor pad any ony. ducretonary wers on charges, inasmuch a8 they i pd ensuite | from @ court but from private citizens. Ottendorier assumes that the Governor, under the charter, has not only tull powers, but that this in- strument makes it compulsory on him to suspend or remove the Mayor upon proper testimony. “Such testimony, unrebutted,” says the Alder- | man, “has been lurmshed to General Dix, and he can do no.less, 8S, now, than to proceed as the char- | ter provides,” Mr. Ottendor/er will write the letter and submit the same. to Mr. Kelly and Mr. Wickham for ap- proval. Mayor Havemeyer knows nothing of this affair, git did not culminate until alter he nad jeft his | office last evening. It is stated, however, that he claims the Governor cannot remove him ou the | charges made by the above gentlemen. When @ prominent member of the Committee of Seventy an effort was made to have Governor Hoffman remove Mayor Hall. Mr. Havemeyer claimed that | the Governor was clothed with ample power, with- | Out investigation, although the city charter then | contained nosuch provision; but at present the Mayor seems to Lave changed his opinion. What Mr. John Kelly Says. Mr, Jobn Kelly was called upon last night bya reporter of the HERALD upon tie matier of the | ecter of Governor Dix. Mr. Kelly said that in his answer to Messrs. Ottendorfer, Wickham and himself the Governor had stared that Mayor Havemeyer nad not fully | enswered the ajlegatious which had been brought against bim and did not deny the charges, and he further wished to know whether bis correspond- ents desired an investigation in the matter and into the conduct of the Mayor. “Now,” continued Mr. Kelly, ‘the Governor states distinctly that the Mayor does not deny the charges made against him, and you will have ob- served yourself, if you read Mayor Havemeyer’s answer, that be does not deny che charges im any way. We hoid, therefore, that ss the charges are not denied they are in reality admitted, and there- fore we can see no necessity for sny investiga~ tion, For what would an investigation de- velop? Simply whether -the charges made originally were true or not. As they are not at present denied an investigation | would develop nothing further than we are cogni- zant of already. In an investigation we should not be allowed to go inéo any extraneous matters, but should be obliged to keep ourselves to the evi- Gence of the charges we bave made. Therefore we shall go no further, but in our answer to Governor Dix state simply the fact that we con- ceive of NO NECESSITY FOR ANY INVESTIGATION.” RePorTeER—What, then, do you suppose was the | Governor’s object in writing the letter ? Mr. KELLY—1n consultation with Mr. Otten- dorfer and Mr. Wickham to-day we came to the | conclusion that the Governor by writing this etter meant to ask whether, as Mayor Havemeyer | admitted the tacts, we had any evidence of crim- inal intent to show against him. But tnto this question we do not propose to go, as, in the first | piace, it ia very hard to prove intent, and, sec- ondly, we hold there is no necessity of proving it The fact is sufficient in itself. course we have no doubt of Mayor Have- meyer’s intent to do wrong at the time he reappointed the deposed Commissioners, as he was warned by the whole press and the pubic | that what be was apout to do was illegal. Besides this, he had Governor Dix’s letter the night be- | fore or the morning on which be made the reap- pointments, notifying him that the Commissioners were deposed for corrupt practices, He could have no doubt as to the meaning of this letter, and | et in spite of it he reappointed the men who had en condemned, and to further strengthen the | position, alter they had resigned the second | time Mayor Havemeyer appointed Gardner a Com- missioner of Excise. Here THE INTENT SHOWS ITSELF so strongly that there can be no doubt ofit. Yet | We do not wish to £9 inte that question, but simply rely on the tacts which the Mayor does not set | KEPORTER—You Will take no further action, then, after writing the letter you mention ? , KeLLY—None whatever, We shall ieave the whole matter in the Governor’s hanas, REPORTER—Have you apy opinion a8 to what he will do? MR, KeLLy—Remove him, of course; I have no dount of it, Governor Dix’s previous course shows this will follow in the present case. In the mati of District Attorney Britton he eo acted though there there was an investigation, but that was simply because to specific charges which were made against nim, there came specific denials. A com- mittee of investigation was then appointed to in- quire into the truth of the denials, This had to be done. But here THERE 18 NO DENIAL, therefore no necessity for any imvestigation. The case 1s 80 clear that there are not two sides to it, The men who were tried and condemned dweit on | the fact that there was no accusation of conspiracy against them in the indictment on which they were tned. This was true, but it was an over: otner portion of the indictment. The whole action of the Commissioners from the time they began, the night betore election, to cross the names Of inapectors already appointed to the time where others were pulled out of their poiling places and taken belore Davenport, 1s a clear conspiracy, where connivance could be very easily shown. ‘the charge was only left outo! the in- dictment by an error. Mayor Havemeyer did not ignore all this; but was, on the contrary, perfec! cognizant of it. Yet in his answer be dwells on this point; vesides which he dwells on the ques- tion ag to whether we were not doing ths lee thing not jog the good of the public at lar bat rather to attain political ends. jast accusation does not appear to be oan by the jacts. If you remember, the original paper, asking for an investigation, which 10T@ was Judge Donohue and others, was Higned by three republicans and three democrats, all of such high standing that their motives could not be im- peacned. They underst as the whole peopie understand, that if Police Commissioners are to be allowed, without protest, to exercise arbitrary powers to such an extent as to tamper with eleo- tions REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT, IS AT AN END. We, on the other hand, ask for nothi: bat our rights, It is the right of" every man to demand a pure election, and We should certainly not be men Of much worth were we to stand idly by and see repeated such scenes aa disgraced the last election in this city.

Garduer was one of the trustees. As alleged, he conspired with a gang of sharpers to deirand all the other beirs except bimsell, and, 1t appears, succeeded. Subsequentiy he had & falling out with bis fellow rogues, and the upshot Was that they tried to dispose of him by putting him in the New Jersey State Prison, In this they failed, and last April were themselves indicted in- stead. These were Reisbeck, Charles H. Bertrand, a New York Jawyer; E. M. Cook, and one Davis, the son of a Pennsylvania Episcopal ciergyman. Dar- ing Reisbeck’s trial facts came out indicating that the gang had been engaged or associated in the carrying out of A NUMBER OF CONSPIRACIES to defraud heirs in New York. Bat the case Rets- beck and the others were indicted for was an alleged conspiracy to put Gardner in State Prison. The result was that Risbeck was convicted, and | Bertrand, who evaded tne Jersey officers ior sev- | eral weeks and gave tnem a lively search, but was finally caugnt, pleaded gatity. Oook is still at jarge, and Davis, who turned State’s evidence, was liberated. Reisbeck and Bertrand were sen- temced to the extreme penalty of the law, two years each in the State Prison and afine each of $500, In passing sentence Judge Titsworth took Occasion to make some very severe remark and expressed regret that the statute di not permit @ heavier sentence, so enormous in the eyes of the Court had the offences been of the convicts. While the facts seem clearly Saraplianes, that Reisbeck was associated with @ rascals who perpetrated many crimes out: fe ob New Jersey, it is deciared by those competent to say that the evidence ot nis. having, committed @ ; crime in Essex county, tne crime for which be has been convicted and sentenced, was very flimsy and threadhare.

Returning to the Gard- her estate, he admitted that SOMEBODY HAD ROBBED THE HBIRS. | But the question was, who wae it?
