JEROME PARK RACES. THE PROGRAMME OF TO-DAY’S RACING, The Preparations at the Park and the Thoroughbreds at Work, The Pool Selling on the Dif- ferent Racers. ‘The American Jockey Club with their accustomed Hberality offer @ magnificent programme for to- day’s sport at Jerome Park. The season is really over, bat the weather has been so favorable during ‘ne past week that the managers concluded to give their patrons one day more racing before the horses went to their winter quarters. They have drawn up their programme with a liberal hand, and the very fact of their being two steeple- chases ougit to offer sumMicient attraction to crowd the grounds to overflowing. There is something in & steeplechase that affords more than ordinary interest to the lover of horse Facing. It has the same attraction to the public that some daring acrobatic or gymnastic feat ‘Would have in @ variety entertainment, as riding @ horse at full speed over a stone wall or post and Yall fence not only requires good riding but a spice of nerve and courage to back it. Jerome Park looked very beautiful yesterday, lit ap by the warm rays of the autumnal sun, and with a wooded background, bright and radiant 4m its golden foliage. The club house stood out in bold outiine, firmly planted on its rocky founda- tion, in perfect contrast to the bright green sward that sloped gradually down to the edge of the track. Some half a dozen thoroughbreds were out at walking exercise, firmly reined by the diminu- tive boys astride of their backs, but looking as if they did not care to walt until to-day, but ‘would rather run their race at once. The track, mewly harrowed, appeared fresh from the gar- dener and nis rake, and workmen were busy Biretching the awnings on the different pool Stands. The stone wall, freshly covered with a coat of white paint, and the ditch in front of the stand filled to the brim with water and built up with evergreens, showed where the struggle would be to-day, and a number of red and ‘white fags marked out the course of the Jumpers. Round the stables everything was quiet, and man and beast appeared to be sleeping and rest- ing against the contest of to-day, One pright- looking boy, attired in tho tightest of pants and the shortest of short-tailed coats, displayed a rather communivative turn of mind, and volun- teered the information that he did not care.a straw about the weight, Trouble could give the lot two stone and walk in. Feeling strongly im- — by the confidence of that young man the /ERALD commissioner took a passing glance at the ‘chestnut in question and then moved on to the next stable. Here the knowing ones were of the opinion it waS a give away; there was only One in it; a8 good ‘as a walk over; Mary Clarke must win, 4c, Careluily taking down the name of ‘this wonder the HrkaALD man continued his Yambles, aud, in the short space of hali an hour, ‘Was given the names of four porses that were cer- tain to win the steeplechase. It is wondertul what an amount of faith each boy bas in the blooded animal under his especial Charge. They ‘were all of one mind, however, that the racing to- day wonld be good and the steeplechase one of the best ever run on the track, It will be impossible with suck @ programme as is ofered to-day tu avoid a good day’s racing, as in the handicap events the weights have been adjusted ‘with close judgment, and it would be hard to pick winner. A field of thirteen in a steeplechase, sad some of them the best jumpers in the country is a spectacle not olten offered to the public, and ‘will doubtless attract a large crowd. The second Per iccnas, the last event o1 the day, will also ave at least eight or ten starters, as, however bad a horse ts, his owner always has the chance of ‘the others failing down. The event, however, that is Sttracting the attention of the horsemen is the Mile and a half dash, and the betting on that event has been very heavy. Grinstead appears to be a slight 1avorite over Shylock, but the friends ol the later put up thelr money with perfect con- fidence. Emma has also been backed for consid- erable money. The gentlemen rider race will bring out five or six starters, and the amateur (eoxert will bave a chance o/ airing their silks and ps belore their fair friends. The selling race only brings out three starters, but will make an Anteresting race. The races commence at one o’clock P. M, sharp, and trains will leave the Forty-second street depot to accommodate the public. THE PROGRAMME, The programme for the day embraces five events, two of which are steeplecbases, which have filled exceedingly well The first race is the Grand Steeplechase Handicap, for a purse of $8v0, 1 which $200 goes Lo the second horse. ‘This has thirteen entries, comprising Crown Prince, aged, 260 lbs.; Harry Bootu, aged, 140 1bs.; Blina om, d, 148 lbs.; Diavolo, 4 eld old, 140 lba,; Bul- fet seus old, 160 1b8. ; soluté, 4 years old, {be.; Austrine, 4 years old, 135 Ibs.; Mary k, 6 years old, 145 lbs.; Vesuvius, axed, 148 3 ‘impecunions, 6 fore old, 142 lbs.; Buckshot, | ed, 120 Ibs. ; Trouble, 4 years old, 188 Ibs, and joonstone, 6 years old, 148 Ibs. ‘The next is #selling race tor a purse of $500, with ricea allowances, One and an eighth mules, ior Praich there will be three starters—Mildew, 5 ears old, price $300, 99 los.; Mr. Bethune’s Hur- ab gelding, 7 years old, $500, 86 lbs, aud B.

A Formal Confession Made by Lewis Jarvis, Circumstances rendering it unnecessary that the examination of Lewis Jarvis, charged, with Elbert Jackson, with the murder of Samuel J. Jones, should be longer delayed, he was yester- day arraigned before Justice Bennett at the Town Hall in Jamatea, and aiter being tniormed that he could tell the whole story or not as he saw fit, concluded that he would so. His statement was taken by Justice Bennett as follows:— The drst start of it was that Elbert Jackson told my wife about three weeks before the murder, Be never said *nything to me about it until about @ week before the murder, when he and I were stubbing on tne road. He said to me, “Supposing we try it? Isuppose he meant to kill Mr. Jones. un the Friday of the murder at noon he came to my house, and while 1 was hoeing potatoes he said, “Well, [ thought you was going down to Mr. Jones’ to get some more money?” t had paid Elpert about $3 at noon, I leitomf work and we started together for Mr, Jones’ house. I had not the remotest idea | that he was going to do anything to Mr. Jones. We went down the road east, and passed through the woods. Elbert asked ine for my Knife, and cuk @ white oak club first about as long a8 the aickory club which was aiso cut by Eloert, two clubs in all. Elbert went to the south side of the railroad | and bullts fire to get Mr. Jones away from the house. Mr. Jones Was in the house at the time, I | gave Eloert the matc.es to set the fire, and I | Picked some gra-s to start it with, Elbert started the fire and said, “You go a [ittle to the east and jet Mr. Jones come.” Mr. Jones did come and we went up toward the house, on the east side, When we got to the hou-e I went to the east side of the well Kibert sara, “Come in,” but - | saia No, I aint going in.” “ Well,"? he said, “if | you won’t go tn stand there beside the well.” He | then went into the house, and Was gone in a good | while—perhaps a quarter of an hour or more— | while Mr. Jones was at the fre. Isaw that Mr. | Jones had a light in the house when Elbert went iu. By and bye Mr Joues came from the fire; he hada busn in bis band, dragging tt behind him. He came to the door, wived his ieet on the grass, | scraped them, and pulled off bis hat as be way | gotug in, He was in the house a few minutes, and | pretty soon | heard a lick struck and heard some | body jal. Tne door was shut by air. Jones as he ; Wentin, 1 guess there were turee licks struck. | [heard somebody coming out and started to gq away. Eibert called to me to come back and I did so. Elbert had Mr. Jones pretty near the outs Goor at the time. Elbert said he was going ta throw him in the welt, and I said, ‘No, don’t.” Elbert said “‘he’d oe damned tf he wasn’t going to kill bim.” [took Mr. Jones’ watch | out of hig pocket, then Elbert said, | “fhrow him in the well’ I belped to carry Mr. | Jones to the well, but bad nothing more to do with it; Elbert threw him to, He told me to get some | blocks, which did, aud we threw three | or our of them down in the well.

Elvert said, “Damn tt, don’t ieave him that | Way.” 1 said, atu’t going to throw any | more.” Says he, “I'll and geta stone.” Trev 0 | Mr. Jones got part of the Way up out of the well, | aud Eloert got astone, Mr, Jones said something | when we picked him up to carry him to the weil, it 1 can’t tell what it was—“thar’s you,” of something like that; but neither of us made any ! answer. When Elbert took the stone he struck | Mr. Jones with it, and [ heard notning more after | that, as I stepped away trom the well. [fhe steel chaim given by the prisoner’s wife to the officers | Was here shown to the prisoner and he identified t as the one that he took from Mr, Jones?’ f waich.] There was over $40 in the house that we got between us.

It will be noticed that in the above Jarvis makes one or two staiements at variauce with the testt- mony of bis wile, given on Tuesday last, and from which tt would appear that she knew much more sbout the transactions of the fatai Friday night than she cared to have known.

Y ing the muraer of Samuel J. Jones, at South Oys ter Bay, has led to developments in another case, | which may prove equally interesting and impor: tant, and in which also the gang of negroes ta which Lewis Jarvis and Elbert Jackson belong | May possibly be implicated. | Early last winter an Englishman, named Henry Broadbent, made an engagement to work for Mr. James A. Seymour, residing at Ridgewood, ad- joining the town of Uyster Bay. Broadbent con- tinued to work for Mr. Seymour until the 25th day | of March last. During the time he was there he ' became quite intimate with a number of negroes 1n the neighborhood, including, it is understood, | both Jarvis and Jackson, and for some time pre- vious to the 25th of March ne had boarded at the house’ol one of them, named Jet. Lawrence, but since that time uothiag appears to be knowu about him, On that day Mr. Seymour says he saw Broad. bent walking across and apparently “pacing oi” or measuring a lot of ground owned by a Mr. Wilmarta, opposite ine railroad station at Ridge- wood, Mr, Wilmarth siates that Broadbent was about to purchase this property, the price being fixed at $9,000 he furtner states that Broad- bent remarked to him at the time the bargain was made toat be would have only $1,000 left alter he lad paid for the land, Mr. Seymour has since ascertained that aiter waiking across the lot Broadvent weus to the landing south Of the vil- lage with some of the negroes with whom he nad become intimate; and this is the last boat ia known regarding aim or his movements Broaabent never said anytiing to Mr. Seymour about going away, and nobody appears to have any idea that he intended wo do un the con- trary, be gave every one to understand that he intended to make his permanent residence there. His absence tor @ ieW days was not thought much of but when it became Projopged to two months and there was no tidings of him the people in the neighborhood began to think strange of it, not only from the jact that he was known to have bad considerable money with bim, but from the peculiar ana still More suspicious circumstances that money was owing to bim py Mr, Seymour, that he leit his trunk and ali his clothing, excepting what he wore, benind, and that he had not collected various sums of money that were owing to him in the neighborhood. Naturally strong guspicions nave been aroused that the missing Man mardéred by the negroes and his body concealed in tne woods, those with wiom he associated being re- garded in the netghbornood as bad characters. Auother circumstance 18 regarded as giving color to the suspicion, Last August @ rumor was industriously circulated that Lawrence and his wie had quarreiied, ana that Lawrence's, wile had accused her husband and Broad- bent of killing Samuel J. Jones. This story Was started by the negroes after Broadbent had disappeared, and, as it is now believed, to pre- , Yent any suspicion that he bad been marde: as, | Broadbent's absence might lead Lh to suppose that tt might be trae and that be bad sought Balety in fight. It t# certain that no one in Ridgewood or tn that i Ficunity. has seen or heard anything of Broadbent since the 27th of March. Mr. Seymour gives the missing Man a good character, 68 does also a for- mer employer, a Mr. Taylor, of Scarsdale, N. Y.
