The second day of the fall meeting of the Ameri- Wan Jockey Club was more interesting than the rst, as no less than six turf events were on the rogramme, the concluding one being a handicap teeplechase, Although yesterday was unex- weptionally fine in regard to weather, jeaving side the drizzling rain at dusk, which came too Yate to lujure visitors to Jerome Park, the atten- ance was about the same as on Saturday. The lever changing hues of the foliage in the Park this goonth are @ constant source of delight to the eye, DEverything was bright and fresh and beautiful at moontide; the sweet little songsters warbled their Bplightliest notes; the tall trees waved majesti- cally to and froin the breeze aa if communing fwith each other, and the gorgeous unts in which fine sere autumn roved the foliage, before dark and dreary Winter wraps its gray mautie round their naked branches, lent enchantment @o the scene, The seene from the grand stand during the races was no less inspiring. On the Qeft was the Park View Bluff, outside the Jerome | precincts; opposite the Club House, with its pale green biuff and group of yew trees; beyond a silent Windmill on the right, an anxious crowd around ‘the pool stands; stil! further on, the little hillock, “where so many steeplechasers have come to grief 4nd where all passed over yesterday in salety. in she immediate vicinity was a labyrinth o! vehicles ‘of all Kinds. When the races were over the inevitable rush was made for the road, and the great caravan of spectators moved city Wards.

THE RACING. tbo TENS pe, \ fhe track was in splendid condition, and the “weather being suitable the six events that were yon the card came off in the most satisiactory man- ner. All the races were well run and good time (made ineach, The first race was a dash of a mile, for all ages; the second a mile and three-quarters ‘by three-year-old fillies; the third was by four-year ‘olds, a dash of three miles; the fourth by two-year olds, five furlongs; the filth a dash of a mile and a ‘halt for all ages, and the sixth race was a handi- Cap steeple chase. Eleven horses started for the first raee. These fwere T. A. Hitchcock’s chestnut filly Quits, M. H. Sanford’s bay horse Preakness, Dugald J. Banna- tyne’s bay colt Audubon, Oden Bowie’s bay colt } colo, A. B, Lewis & Co.’s chestnut filly Govern- jess, J. W. Hunt Reynold’s chestnut colt Marmion, 'P. Lorillard’s bay colt Stanford, Jacob Pincer’s Way colt The Hoaxer, A. Beimont’s gray horse ‘Gray Planet, Tt B. « w. R. Davis’ chestnut horse Fadladeen, and D. McDaniel’s chestnut filly Rosebud. Preakness was a great Mavorite, Stanford ond choice, Picolo third. WFadladeen won the race very handily, the old horse taking the lead at the hal!-mile pole and coming away galloped home two lengths in front of Preakness, who beat Gray Planeta neck. The Paris Mutueis paid $163 20. The second race, the Hunter's Stakes, had four starters only out of twenty-three nominations, comprising DL. McDaniel & Co.'s chestnut filly Madge, by Australian; M. H. Sanford’s chestnut fly Lava, A. &. Lewis & Co.’s bay filly Vandalite and W. Cottrell’s chestnut filly Bonaventure. Tne latter was the favorite, Vandalite the second choice, Madge the thimt. The latter won the race in gallant style, Bonaventure second, Vandalite third. Madge was ridden on this occasion by Bar- bee, who nursed the filly for a mile and a hail, run- ming third to the aead of the stretch, tien coming with the great burst of speed cerwhich the filly possesses, she soon rushed Xo the froat aud won tue race by two lengths. The Yavorite and Vanderiite were close together at the ‘nish. Bonaventure second. The time—3:10—was 6% seconds taster than it was ever run in before, the best previous time having been made by morseless in 1870, Which Was 3:15 4. The Maturity Stakes was the third race, three miles ior four-year-olds. For this event tour out of twenty-eight encries came to the t, ‘These were Oden Bowie’s bay coit Catesby, Jonn Coffee's black colt B, P. Carver, Uwner’s bay colt Whididie, and; ock and Kensom’s pe, colt Ransom. Catesby was tue favorite, Wildidle the second choice, B. F. Carver the tnird. Catesby won a very easy race in capital time; in tact, the ime nas never been exceiled for this stake except by Monarchist 1n 1872. Catesby ran the three miles in 5:36, and there is no doubt he could nave run the distance several seconds sooner had hé been ailed on for better time. He trailed jor two miles and three-quarters, and then moving up the (iront_won in a canter. Wildidie was second, B. P. Carver third. The fourth race was a five furlong dash by two year olds, and the starters were Wood, String- Meid’s gray colt Enlister, M. H. Sandford’s brown filly Fine Work, P, Lorillard’s chestnut thy Epringiet, F. Morris’ bay colt by Warminster, J. incer’s ches: filly Scramble, A. Belmont’s chestnut colt Babyion, Owner's chestnnt colt Aris- tudes, Db, McDaniel’s chestnat colt by Australian and Oden Bowie's bay colt Holvro: Aristides sold for hearty as much in the pools as all the otper harass sgupbined + Pine Work was the second scholet and thé Warminster colt the third sought Giter. Aristideg. jumped off with the lead and Kept it througuout the race, winning by 4 length, Fine Work second, Babylon third. Mr. Saudiord’s filly finished gallantly, and many persons-were impressed with the belie! that if she bad made her run a little svoner, iustead of laying behind ai] the others for over a quarter of @ mile, she would have won the race. Aristides is a remarkably fine colt, and will be found bard to beat, however, this ear. othe Ofth race had nine starters. These wer? M. H. Sandiora’s bay gelding Kadi, Oden Bowle’s bay “colt Picoio, A. Lewis & Co.'s bay mare je Lee, Lawrence & G. Lorillard’s chestnut colt Resolute, Jotun McCormack’ chestnut horse Spindrist, — J. Z Hunt Reynold’s bay horse Whisper, Owner's sread, and D. McDaniel’s chestnut horse Harry Bassett, Spindrift wasa great javorite over any named horse, Resolute being the second choice, and Bi. Bassett the third. Grimstead sold lowest and won the race, lis backers reaping @ rich harvest, Harry Bassett ran well lor over a mile, but then his jockey had the misfortune, when leading, to break his stirrup, apd in an instant aiterwards Harry Bassett sulkea and began siort- ebing bis stride. ‘snia horse is @ great rogue. He cau run fast, but will omly do so when in the bumor. He ran on this occasion with biinkers, aod but for the break of the stirrup wonid, prob- ably, bave won the race, as he appeared to bave more speed than any of the others until the acci- dent happened. | The sixth and jast race of the day was a handi- cap Bleeplechase, with seven starters, comprising A. bt. Torrence’s chestnut gelding Trouble, carry- ing 150 Ibs. ; M. J. Volly’s bay gelding Vesuvius, 142 los. ; Ed, Jackson’s gray geiding Buckshot, 140 ibs. ; J. 5.

Lorilierd’s black filly Lad: Bruce, 12) lbs. Trouble Was @ great favorito, se ing in the pools for nearly a8 much money as a! the ovuers together. He won the race, proving himselt a most capital jumper, as well as a rapid running horse, Daylight waa second and Vesuvius third. Impecunious refused the third jump, and gave up the race at that time. Bucksnot also Stopped before the a(fuir was over, but all the others went the journey and made a capital race, ‘The iollowing are tue details :— The First Race.

There were probably about three hundred specta- tors present yesterday. This may be accounted for by the threatening aspect of the weather irom an early hour of the morning, which prevented | many irom venturing on the road. The attrac. | tions at Jerome Park also had a tendency to de- crease the number of visitors to this course. The drive througu Prospect Park, along the new bou- wee 5 | levard, almost to the entrance of the track, is ex- 1 | ceedingly pleasant. Tiad the weather been pro- | pitious the lovers of this popular amusement ‘There were two trots yesterday—the first, for a | for horses that had never beaten | 2:36, and the Second, for a purse of $1,000, for horses that had never beaten Seventeen entries had been announced in the first stakes and seven im the latter, Tne track was rather heavy after the severe rain of Monday night. ‘The first race was not completed and was ad- journed until twelve o’clock to-day. In the fourth heat of the first race Whipple, driver of Lady White, was fined $25 lor loud shouting. ‘The Jollowiug are the SUMMARIES.

New Yorg, Oct. 7, 1874. To Tae Epirok or THE HERALD :— T have all my life taken a great interest in pedes- trianism. I neard of Mr. Weston many years ago, and on my visiting this country { took the first Opportunity of witnessing bis performance, Ican assure you, however, that I have been sadly dis- appointed. I expected to see @ man who was || really what he was represented to be, instead of one who seems to have @ vast amount of piuck and very little else to recommend himself to the Public as the “greatest pedestrian in the world.” His endeavor at the Rink was more creditable than his walk of last mouth, which, as every one knows, was @ most decided fajlure, although nothing that science could do was le!t undone to compel & man to walk who bad no right to make the attempt 1! not in a proper condition, and thus deceive the public, Mr. Weston is periectly aware | that he never could or will accomplish bis under- taking, I never, nor uty one else, saw a walkist who required one-quarter the at- tention Mr. Weston receives. Mr. Weston heeds too much plastering, doctoring and coaching ever to be a walkist, Iwas surprised to see the incessant coaching he received on Monday, Were it the last day some excuse might be made; but taking into consideration that the “patient” was “never in a better condition,’ I tink iL ought to have been unnecessary, Mr. Weston decidedly betrayed signs of weakness—so much 8o that he had to take stimulants at about every ten minutes, in addition to men tanning him all the time, 16 was necessary ior him to keep ice in his mouth, for what purpose | do not know, for all Know that drink o! any kind im such quantities a3 Mr. Weston Was taking 18 decidedly wrong. There were aiso unmistakable signs of a breaking up of his legs, which seem aiways to have troubled tim, and ne- Cessitates his trotting very near half the time.

A LOOKER 0) BOAT RACING AT YONKERS. Ms * et Sa Exciting Contest Between the Palisade and Vesper Clubs—Lively Controversy Overa “Skin” Barge—An Unexpected Victory for the Palisades. An interesting and well contested race in eight- oared barges came off at Yonkers yesterday after- noon between picked crews of the Palisade and Vesper oat Clubs of that city, It was the second of three annual races to be rowed between those clubs fora champton pennant. The course to be gone over was three miles straightaway, from & point Opposite Riverdale to what is known as the sunken dock, foot oi Lamartine avenue. As is generally the case in those iriendly con- tests between local organizations, there was a wide difference of opinion among the members of the respective clubs as to what constitutes fair play. In this instance the Palisade boys were re- luctant to select the same barge they suffered deseat in last year, and accordingly concluded to | meet their rivals on this occasion in what they | loaned them for that purpose by the Resolute Club, of Carmansville, When this became known to the Vespers, they determined not to be “caught napping,’ and within the last few days Thomas Fearon, one of their number and @ well known adept in boatbuilding and boatracing, con- structed a new boat for the race, and which 1s so extremely light as to be denominatea A “SKIN” BARGE. . At this proceeding the Palisades were thoroughly Gisgusted, their president having denounced 1t as “an outrage.” 1tis true that the Vespers offered, | by way of compromise, to exchange the barges tn | Bassacus. which boln crews rowed at the last annual contest, but the Palisades indignantly deny that the offer was extended in good faith, since tt ‘Was proposed only by individual members and not by the Club itself. In this controversy public sympatuy evidently inclined toward the Palisades, who, although evincing admirable pluck and per- severance, had hitherto proved themselves unable | to successinily contend against the superior tact | and dexterity of their competitors at the oar, This © can scarcely be wondered at when it 18 considered Winkle, of the Vesper crew, are rated among tue best amateur oarsmen in the country, and went in°o the race yesterday, carrying with them the prestige of having never known deieat. Under ts combinaiion of adverse circumstances the Palisades had little hope of coming off victorious, but were determined to keep at least within hatl- ing distance of the “skin” barge, i! muscle and courage were to be counted on tor the accom- plishment of that object. This was tie condition of affairs when the time appointed for the contest | had arrived, The folowing are the names, posi- tions and weigat of the members of the compet- ing crews:— PALISADE CLUB.

The com- peting Oarsinen, Witn their barges, were already | on the ground and beiug suvjected to a scrutiny which was considersvly intensiMed by the multi- tude of spectators on board the steamers. Many | were the suspicious giances cast at the Vesper's new barge, which no one appeared | competent to Classity or draw the line or distine- | tion between it and a shell. Alter some litte de- Jay the barges got into position, the Vespers, hav- ing won the Choice, taking the inside. When the word Was given both boats eitected an even start and shot rapidly northward amid the deaiening cheers of the speccators. To the agreeable surprise of their now dovbiy enthusiastic friends, the Palisade crew held their barge steadily bow and bow with the Vespers jor about hall a mile, when the former siowly forged ahead, increasing their speed so | that when opposite Mount St. Vincent they led the Vespers about three boat's | Jengths. At this time the Palisades were rowing | thirty-six strokes to the minute and the Vespers thirty-eight, The Palisades still continued to in- crease the distance between them and the Ves- tenet and passed the winning point about five lengths ahead of their competitors, amid the wiid- est enthusiasm, The time occupied by the Palt- sades in going over the course was nineteen | minutes, the Vespers following them fifteen sec- onds later. ‘The officers of the respective clubs are as fol- lows :—Vesper~Wlillaw S$, Carr, President; Wil- ant; W.

THE NATIONAL GAME. A Magnificent Contest on the Union Grounds—The Atlantics Make It Warm tor the Boston *+Reds.” The Atlantic and Boston nines attempted to de- cide the ninth game of their championship series yesterday afternoon, on the Union Grounds, but the Helding was so sharp on bota sides that, not withstanding ten and @ half innings were played, neither side could claim the victory. Rarely, in- deed, have two nines put forth such efforts to win @ ball as dia these two yesterday. It was the gen- eral impression among the knowing ones, and those who are not 80 very knowing, too, that the Bostons would have a periect walk-over; bat the event proved this an error. In tie maten yesterday the Bostons experienced great difficulty in hitting Bond, while the Atlantics al. In the fleld siarper work Was hever done. Nota single “red- legged” chap succeeded in reaching his first base on an error, for the only errors committed on the Atlantic side are charged to Ficet, and none of these were serious. In the sixth inning the Bos- tons succeeded in getting inarun and tying the game. But for a piece of stupidity in McUee, who jatied to rua the bases properly, the Atiantics Would have won the game on tne seventh muning. As it was ten innings were played. and the Atlan- tics Were at the bat for the eleventh time, witn a | man on first base and two hands, when the umpire found it necessary to cail the game on account of the rain, which was falling quite fast. Some wonderful fielding was done by Sweezy at second base and Ferguson at third, wile Pearce filled the bill to perfection at short stop. ‘Tne score is as follows :. ATLANTIO. 3 Players.
