$$ <_< AMERICA JOCKEY CLUB, —_—-—__. THIRD DAY AT JEROME PARK. Favorable Weather and Fair Attendance. FIVE CAPITAL RACES. Faithless, Springbok, Scratch, Matador and | Bullet the Wianers, The third day of the spring meeting of the American Jockey Club at Jerome Park yesterday wes poorly altended, There are many explana- Hons of this falling off in the attendance, the principal one being that Thursday has always proved the worst day of the week for racing in- lerests, Why itis so itis impossible to tell, but Ure fact is nevertheless tne same. Yet it was the most evjoyabie day of the meeting so far, The fuin laid the dust and on the road there was noth- ing to tind fault with from New York to the tourse, The Central Park, the garden of the metropolis, Was more charming than ever, the fragrance of the rain-iaden foliage and the gentle breeze that olew toward the Harlem tats (a lucky Escape that it was not the other way) making | bvery driver of a wagon feelas though he was in an ideal Arcadia, Out on the Boulevard, where the short haired representatives of democracy Dave 80 long tolled and worked for political honors, Past the overhanging biufts that fringe toe Hariem River, across the rickety bridge yeleped Macomb’s Dam—which is @ standing disgrace so New York—in the picturesque Jerome avenue, | where caravansaries lie in wait for the unwary, ind where obstreperous darkies contend jor the mastery of the incoming guest; past ragged old larmers, Who look complacently from thelr primf- five carts on the Meeting panorama of modern | Wagons en route for the races; past watering carts, that preseut their unpainted sides to t Aoonday sun, into a gaudy gate, where every one Wents to inspect your tteket; past many police- men, who seem imbued with clubbing propen: tes; and then comes the meeting of the Ameri- | ean Jockey Ulnb. A walk across the track to the club house and a.vista of natural beauty is re- | vealed. On the bdiusf outside the main entrance @ lew thousand people are congregated, and the alternated strains of a brass band are wafted to the aristocratic ears of the members on the breeze. The horizon is fringed with green ana | tresn-looking woods, and a dense mass of vehicles | beeastonally biots out the green award. To the | west the woods become more dense, and hide | from sight the placid waters of the Hudsop. All | Around uS, small though the attendance may be, | summer and spring, such as modistes over. THE RACING. / The track was in better condition yesterday | than on any previous day of the meeting, the rain | of the night before having laid the dust and im- | proved the #round very much. Tne weather, too, | was all that couid have been desired by the | | } i | bwohers of the horses, it being moderately warm, with balmy breezes. As a consequence the racing Was good throughout, giving the greatest satu faction to the thousands of spectators on the grand stand and the balconies and terraces of the club house. Five events were on the card, and toey all passed of with promptuess and de- Epatch, Tne first race was the Juvenile Stakes for two- year-old fillies, the distance half amile. For this | race there were thirty-one nominations, of which | number twelve came to the post. These were An- | gust Belmont’s brown colt Freebooter ana chest- — nut colt Clematis, R. W.

M, he awoke, started up in bed and showed by his tions that he was ina delirium. His mind seemed to dwell upon the dreadful occurrence of Tuesaay morning, and he exclaimed, “Now I have got him down!

From that time until the 25th of April last resolute but moderate exercise brought the men to a state of pleasant physical perfection, and when they first stepped into their old lapstreak | boat on the Connecticut for practice all of aolid Dartmouth were happy. NEW HANDS AND OLD OFFENDERS. The crew thus selected comprised four of last year’s six, with two new men of rugged mien and @ sort of Hercules build across the back, shoulders and loins, Mere novices in boating they were, knowing nothing of the sport before entering col- lege life, yet, perhaps, these new bande were of | four old offenders, the | more value than the jormer baving to be taugnt only, the latter having to be untaught first before thoy could learm anything gooa. Think of it, 40, 45, 50 to the minute the “boys of the green” from New Hampshire hammered down the Saratoga Lake last su:nmer, a body of magnificent men, bat helplessly clumsy oarsmen, striving to win! Why, never since sliding seats have been established, the bladeg widened and the oars lengthened has real excellent practice from a good crew exceeded thirty-six to the min- ute, ad it takes @ good body of mento row even this stroke long and well through over a full racing course. A faster stroke may be rowed, but it is never kept op, and hardly once m @ lletime does it win. Weil, with the two recruits these men went the busine: of preparation seriously, and all old inclinations to break Nature's laws set aside, they slowly improved, until at last the Dartmouth six are models of strength and Thus, too, in the latter respect were ‘Yhe incessant and terrible drain upon their vitality, however, marred it all, and reduced “useful” oars far beiow the standard. Mr. Gates, the stroke of tat crew, perhaps was responstoie for this, and hearcily did h t Dimsell, as he went into the battle irom the same treatment, and only escaped down- right liiness by sheer good luck. HARD T0 LEAMN NEW TRICKS. One advantage the crew of this year has over their predecessors 18 that during the entire win- | ter jus past the men were not compelled to work through the college, avd were able to reciia at the mstitution, instead of going into other States, teaching school and otherwise seek- tog employment, in order to obtain the little Money liecessury to continue their studies. Re- wardiess of what other tnsitrutions deserve in praise of the spirit which animates toe boating leaders and cause them to be represented at we intercollegiate regatta, Dartmouth should stand high en tue record im this wise:—First, with no thei¢ Wa, money; then, witn a faculty not particalarlyin- bi clined to favor the amusement, and, Worst or ail, with incompetent teaders and coachers, the sinewy lads of New Hampshire were im @ bad plight, Mach ding dong work was required to Vurn them irom the “evils of their ways.” sistently they@ieciared that tne system of tratn- ing which had sapped the fonetions oi vitality was allright after all, They were “tough moun- tain boys und could stand it,” in fact demanded being pat through just such “a course of sprouts,’? When last year they hud tramed themselves into fever and ‘exhaustion by | equal activity of the functions, | better fitted for the ny sh a | than toe terrific struggle in whieh t! eyes were Opened and wonder Was expressed that they should feel so worn out, so limp and loose, and incapable of exertion without the greatest eifort, They ioand out im time that excessive ex- ertion produces devility and dec wh exer- cise, properly so cailed, tends vo developm: od heaith. And so these Dartmouth lads have abandoned the “raw meat and bloody bones” system of eege | and taken to sensible things, and are living like men who have a duty to perform, @nod not as if to be preparea were a crime, The result of so muco common sense to be seen. already The six young meu are feeling like giants, and take to their pull- | nd never | tmtended to be anything eise but watermen in the | iug as if they were born on the water, herealter. Another thing, the crew fave a vetter leader tais year, as Robinson doesn’t do his work in such & “Wooden” mauner as did the ‘74 captain, and the former, with bis mantiold duties, does pot jorget the small matters in the paraphernalia of the boat, Wnich is a great commendation, ON WEBSTER LAKE.
