MONMOUTH PARK. Last Day of the Extra Race Meeting. A Large and Fashionable Assemblage to Witness the Spectacle. THREE CAPITAL RACES. ‘The Julius Colt the Winner of the Mile Heats, B, F. Carver of the Mileand a Half Dash and Vesuvius of the Steeplechase. LonG BRANCH, August 29, 1874. ‘The Monmouth Park races had a brilliant ending at Long Branch yesterday, The grand stand was very fairly filled, and a parterre of iadies, dressed 1m the full tide of fashion, made a background em- bellishment for the foreground, ful! of trees, with ‘the track and its prancing and curvetting blooded horses, A band had aiso been bronght from thd hotels, and took its position on the benches in full sight of the admiring crowd, who stretched their ears to listen to the music as it wandered and mingled with the clear, fresh breezes that came from the sea front, three milos away. The racing was excellent, the steeplechase of three and a half miles being equal to anything that has been seen for years on any American course, A large number of handsome turnouts came from the Branch to the race track, and added by their showy construction and ensemble to the spectacle. Great excitement was manifested as to the merits of Motlie Darling, a three-year-old bay filly thas had gained considerable reputation by the clever spurt she made a few days since witn Ida Wells, and consequently she had high favor in the pools up to the time’of running. But those who ventured their money on this capricious filly, Who, as Dr. Livingstone might have satd, “was nothing but a mere ruckle of bones,” were very sorry for it, as she came in a bad sixth, Audubon goin to the trout like a mad whirl- wind. Curses, not loud but deep, were levelled on the scanty iramework of Mollie Darling, and it is not likely that she will be again a favorite in any pool, The negro lads who have 80 much in- terest in every race that is run were seen to smile contemptuously when the blankets were placed on the thin shoulders of Mollie Darling, and they all declared that vhey would not risk a pound of gingerbread upon her. The lateness of the season and the coolness of the weather militated severely against the success 01 the meeting at Monmouth Park on this late occasion of the extra races from the fact that the majority of the sum- mer visitors have already left Long Branch ior their metropolitan homes. and it is from this par- ticular source that the success of the races at Mon- mouth Park is derived, Last evening the steamboat River Belle was crowded with passengers coming from tne races, and there was a great deal of hilarity observabie on the boat. Two comic singers, one of .whom delights audiences nightly in the free and easy way in the city, and another, who peadies peanuts, gathered a large crowd around them to hear the inspiring chants of the “Mulligan Guards” and “Muldoon, the Solid Man,”” A great many pennies were gathered by the vocalists, and yaey, were encored to their hearts content, Altogether the races at Monmouth Park have ended very weil, thongh ate in the season and after tne surfeit of racing at Saratoga. The meeting gives promise of Vetter things next year. THE RACING. The track was deep with dust, and, although very safe, it wag not in condition for fast time, The races that came off were run in a very satis- factory manner. Three events took place during the afternoon, in one of which there was a dead heat between 3. F. Carver and Stockwood, the distance being a mile and a half. They ran the race off, and Carver proved the victor. A mile heat race had three heats closely contested, and the steeplechase gave great satisiaction to those ond of that style bf racing. Altogether the closing day of the extra meeting was about as full of real sport as any that have preceded it, The First Race. was for a purse of $500, for ali ages; mile heats; winners excluded; $400 to the first and $100 to the second, There were seven entries, six olf which came tothe post. These were:—L. A. Hitchcock's chestnut colt Century, by Censor, dam Intrigue, 3 years old; J. W. Weidon & Co.’s bay colt Audubon, by Australian, dam Heiress, 4 years old; D.

Blind Tom was first away, closely followed by Vesuvius, Electric third, Tabitha fourth, ‘Their course Was across the track from behind the judges’ stand, and the fret jump was over a prush fence, Blind Tom leading a length, Electric second, a length in advance of Vesuvius, who was about the same distance in front o1 Tabitha. They then ran to @ wall made of sud. which was near the fence of the backstretch. This was taken first by Electric, who was two lengths ahead oi Bind Tom, Vesuvius third, Tabitha iourth. Two more sod walls were jumped over as the horses circled around the tel and then they came to a wall at the drawgate. Electric was leading six lengths at this ume, Vesuvius second, three lengths ahead of Tabitha, who was two lengths tn front of Blind Tom. ‘The horses then jumped the brush and water in front of the grand stand nicely, Electric leading two lengths, Vesuvius second, Tabitha third, Blind Tom bringing up the rear. The horses then rao to the wall in front of ‘the club house, and Electric showed the way over y a length, Vesuvius second, Tabitha third, Tom fourth, but close up. ‘Then wheeling to the right to jump a brush fence ‘Tabitha ran to the frontand was first over; but afterwards she ran tue wrong way, which threw her chances entirely out for the race. Electric again took the lead, followed by Vesuvius and Blind Tom, and they came down to two hurdies close together in the middle of the fleld and jumped them very prettily, Electric leading Jour lengths, Vesuvius second, about the same distance in Iront of Blind Tom. They then passed over two other fences and then again the wall at the drawgate, after which they came the second time to the brusn fence and water in front of the stand. As the horses made this jump they were all in the aur together, and, landing safely, went on spiritedly with the race. Electric drew away a trifle, and was half @ length in front of Vesu- vius at the wall in front of the club house, Blind Tom lapped on_ the latter, ‘They then wheeled to the leit and running to the quarter pole jumped into the regular track. Electric at this time was a length tu front of Vesu- vius, the latter a length in advance of Blind Tom. Electric and Vesuvius soon had the race to them- selves, as Blind Tom began to lall of, At the hur- die, at the hall-mile pole, Vesuvius aud Electric were head and head, and they ran side and side around the lower turn and into the homestretch. ‘They entered the homestretch yoked, and as they passed over the last hurdle, which was stationed just atter they entered the stretch, they were in the air at the same time. From there to the finish Vesuvius drew away inch by inch and won the race by half @ iength. Blind Tom was beaten sixty yards and he pulled up very lame. Tabitha, after getting straight, ran over the course, but she was halla ag behind Blind fom, The time of the race was 5:23, ‘The following are the summaries :— The First Race, MONMOUTH PARK, August 29,—LAsT Day OF THE Extra MEETING.—Paurse $500, for all ages; mile heats; winners excluded; $400 to the first aud $100 to the second horse.

Ifit would be not invidious to say it, this excur- sion was, perhaps, the pleasantest ot all this year. The day was exquisite, so that one was tempted to think divine beneficence had especially granted it charity, in which the great busy city of New York has regarded its poor, With the exception of the immense crowd from Captain Ward’s precinct (Tenth) on the eighth ex- | Cursion this was the most numerously attended, for the recorded number (2,167) gained by count of tickets does not fully comprise the eptire number on board, Among these were 100 children, dis- 4 linguished by red badges, from the Home for the Friendless, under the charge of the Superintend- ent, Mrs. Rothman. Sergeant Doyle and several oMcers from the Seventeenth and Twenty-sixth precincts accompanied the expedition, lending valuable aid to the manager. Mr. jstieg- fers... ougse, in attend: ance, le rth.

Marshall, one of the trustees of the fund, and who takes the greatest interest in the success of this movement, also went on the excursion, The sail up the beautiful Souna was delightful—the scenery seemed at its brightest, the rippling waters laughed their sunniest. the shadows from the trees over the cool green grass looked longer and more inviting. If those chil- dren did not enjoy themselves, both on board and on shore, tt is just impossible to imagine what thor- ough human enjoyment canbe. They laughed, sung, danced and made merry the whote day. At the [efe! they rambled through woods or bathed so incessantly, many at least, that but the attrac. tions of Punch and Judy drew them occasionally away, The return was made in good time ands the usual procession followed to the Fifth street police station. Drs, Thomas, Dennison, Needham ang Logue were the medical voluuteers of the ay.

Of these latter commodities there were 3,660 quarts of cream and 4,200 quarts 01 milk used to provide the children with a delicious treat— something they were utterly unused to in che course of their neglected lives, Colonel Williams also purchased tweive boxes of lemons and six barrels ot sugar, besides great quantities of sup- plies needed to teed s0 many hungry mouths too humerous to give in detail. Whole nests of tubs, pails, bundies of brooms, tinware, jurnaces and cutlery were also needed. The entire amount, as has been said, that was expended this year comes to $5,834 89 for the re- ception, transportation and entertainment of 23,856 children, bemg @ little over 37 cents per head. This year, though with less excursions, had the largest amount of young holiday makers. In 1872 there were ju eighteen excursions 18,672 children; 1873, fourteen excursions, With 21,393 children, The toval ‘or the three years amounts to 63,921, A balance of $693 41 remains now in hand for next season, and itis the intention of Colonel Williams to keep open the subscription through- out the year, in order that there may be fuli funds jor this estimable charity in 1875, THE FLOATING HOSPITAL.

He is now apout thirty years of age, well educated and of handsome appearance. During the progress of his business operations he pur- chased from the Industri Kredit Aktiebolaget, business corporation of Stockholm, some 870 bales of coftee, valued at about 12,000 American dollars.

A person answering almost hts exact description arrived on board of the Pomera- nia some two weeks since, and this man the detec- tives followed up, {t was stated that a brother of the prisoner lived in Chicago and in this direction the detectivas wended their footsteps. The house in which the brother lived was watched day atter day and night alter night, bat no sign of the wished-for individual couid be agcertamed. Sin- ular that the person on board of the Pomerania iad travelled to Chicago, and this led the detec- tives to the supposition that they were Cot | on the right track. But a new clew was obtained, 1t was rumored that Lundquist had been seen in | Thitner, then, he was followed by the officers, where he, was at length arrested in a boarding house of that city, living under the name of Zetters- burgh, He at first denied his identity. but on being confronted with the proofs in the hands of the detectives he acknowiedged that he was the man. The Swedish Consul was present at the examination yesterday before the Commissioner. The Swedish government was represented by Mr. Da Costa. The prisoner was brought up in custody of Deputy Marshals Kennedy and Dowley. He was well dressed and presented a gentlemanly appear- ance. He evidently felt very much the fallen posi- tion in which he was placed. Commissioner Gutman questioned the prisoner as to the charge made against him atid explained | its nature. Lundquist, who could speak English | slightly, seemed to thoroughly appreciate what was said to him, He inquired as to whether the Philadelphia, crime could be expiated in this country. The Commissioner replied that he should be tried in | Sweden. He then expressed his willingness to go | back, and waived examination. This ended tne matter, as far as the Commissioner was concerned, | and the prisoner was conducted back to Ludiow | Street Jail. His guld watch and $350 in currency, found upon him at the time of his arrest, were re- turned to him by the offictals. He will probably be sent back to Sweden next week. Mr. Da Costa promised to intercede for him with the Swedish | government, on the ground that he made a ciean breast of the atlair here, and did not give the au- thorities the least trouble. Lundquist, in answer to a questioner, said that he was not a married man, but “had an old mother on the other side.’? ‘The tears fowed up into his eyes as he made tue latter assertion, A CASE CLEARED UP, _ After a prolonged litigation Mr. Emil Haas, a Broad street broker, has been exonerated by Judge Donohue, of the Supreme Court, of any criminality or wrong doing in connection with the charge of conspiracy preferred against him and Wm. Carew by S. L. Simpson. A most thorough investigation was made by Judge Donohue, and | at {ts close the latter gave the tollowing opinion, which tells the whole story, both of alleged crimi- nalty and the entire vindication of Mr. Haas :— «“Tbis matter came before me in this way. De- fendant was arrested before Judge Bixby, and it was alleged that the Justice unnecessarily delayed the examination. A writ of cer- tiorart was granted and the papers and proceedings brought before ‘this Court. Alter careful attention to the facts, it appeared that the Justice before whom the case was pend- ing Was @ material witness for the prosecution and that on one point at least his testimony was vital. On these facts the parties, being before this Court, the examination was ordered to continue before me, as it had been unnecessarily delayed before the Police Justice and the defendant was | tmproperly restrained. The facts on such ex- amination then appeared to be that the prose- | cutor and defendant hada litigation pending in | the common law courts and that certain books | and papers were important in that litigation and that the prosecutor in the common law cases had the right to examine them and that the right was granted to him. ‘The documents are twolold; first, account showing tne state of affairs between them on balance sheets, and, sec- oud, books from which chese balance sheets were that he procured their deposit in a place outside of his office, Alter such deposit, on the arrival of | at his ofce, the deendant’s sale and office were found open, tue papers scat- tered around and the balance sheets gone. Tnis Was On the ilth of August, 1873, Here commences the charge and countef cnarge. The prosecutor | alleges that the defendant did this with intent to throw the blame ou aud found a charge against the prosecutor. Ou this it seems to me, on all the evidence and probabilities, this state- ment of tne prosecutior is grounded; on the evidence itis not sustaiwed by prool, ‘but at is It ig apparent that at the time the defendant bad done nothing to connect the secutor With the offence and that his suspicions would have naturally pointed at the parties who wanted and nad asked the production oi these accounts, but the Jact that the defendant haa placed his books in the Safe Deposit Company, | trom which books the same precise detalls as con- | {aimed ip the accounts abstracted could be taken, | makes it impossible to suppose he had gone through the form of robbing himsel! of accounts the originals of which ali his clerks and friends | His continued suspicions of his opponent in the lawsuit, whether well or til founded, naturaily led tim to cast his eyes in that direction, aud, finality, his co-defendant in tnis suit came with oners io him of evitence of the tuct, All that transpired seems to convince | me that Haas acted in good faith in trying to pro- | cure evidence without any idea that the evidence | offered was untrue, It seems to me more that nis | co-defendant was acting improperly with the pro- gecutor than with the dejendunt, and hag this charge been one on which the co-derendant, with Haas, could be held, and Haas discharged, 1 should feel it my duty to so hold lim; but as the charge is one that he cannot be held on alone he must be discharged. prooi against on the facts.
