When it 18 reevilected that the words of the statate are an express prohthition against any Commissioner re celving any salary or compensation for services, except for acting as President or Sreasurer, and for these a reg: ular salary was to be paid, it will be seen how unwar- ranted was the acuon of paying a Com joner tor writing @ history of the Park, even If such service had been rend by hime Mr. Green continued to draw his salary as Treasurer, at the rate of $10,4%, until he was removed trom office by the charte; jon to his salary as Treasurer paid to piained, Mr. Green, on the day he ri as ireasurer of the Park 1, paid to ory allowance at t le of San per ing the Park.

SIXTH DAY AT JEROME PARK, The Favorites Beaten in Four Events. | FIVE INTERESTING RACES. Survivor, Madge, Aaron Pennington, Scratch and Galway the Winners. The sixth day’s racing at Jerome’ Park of the spring meeting of the American Jockey Cinb was not very largely attended, but was of more than ordinary interest, as the iavorites were beaten in every race save one. There is a peculiarly intense antagonism between the general public and the “knowing ones” at Jerome Park and at every other course. “Straight tips’ are given grudg- | Ingly to the profanum vulgus, and results like those of yesterday are apt to produce a Donny- brook effect on the average mind. The weather was entirely propitious, the threatened thunder storm toward the close of the races fortunately passing away in the welcome guise of a refresh- Ing shower that @id more to lay the dust than ever the obdurate Park Commissioners will con- | sent to effect on the track und road irom New | York, The sun that blazed in undimmed power | from @ biue sky on Tuesday last was yesterday | obscured by clouds, and the east wind | Jannea the faces of the visitors to Jerome Park, via Central Park, with a grate- | Jul and soothing effect. Many aquatic representatives were on Harlem River, exhibiting | brawn and sinew such as only the exercise of tne oar can produce; miniature yachts contended for Mastery on the verious lakes of the Park mounted policemen on the Boulevards entleav- ored to emulate the performances of ihe crack riders of the circus by interviewlng the driver of | afastteam siaeways, horse on hind legs; the piaff at Kearn’s, outside the course, was alive with people; jast trotters resented the interrup- tion of the surly gatekeeper; unp'easant looking darkeys screamed out their numbers to the visi- tor and inqnisitive eyes peered at every badge aud face, as if the visitor were an intruder, The Grand Stand was partially flied, but around tne poo! stands was aseethiug mass of humaniiy— eager, anxious and excited. There was little of thought among them of the beauty of the scene— the Park framed in mature’s brightest colors, ‘fuey thought only of the chances of the race, und the click of tne recorder of the Paris mutuels was the sweetest music to their ears. | Pencils abd programmes were in every band, and reyes looked jor “straight tips,’ Them toe bell sounded for tne last time, and the monotonous Voice Of tae pool seller ceased. Arash to i Grana Stand, a scramble for a good piace, a cry “They're off,” a cloud of dust, a glimmer of-sun- shine on the reeking stdes of the contestants, discordant shouts as the resuit is reached and a ringing shout when the favorite is beaten, then there is a deafening patter of fee the eager lookers on rash to the pools again from the Grand Stand. ‘he victory won by McGrath's Aaron Pe: nington im the race jor the Woodburn Stakes was hailed with delight by the “outsiders,” who.went Some sald that Reform in New Yorkis long ago played out. They made a remark about Bullet’s deieat to the effect that he had not been tramed at Creedmoor, und about Shylock that he could not get his pound of Nesn this time. On Saturday this very interesting and attractive meeting ‘ol the American Jockey Club wii be brought to a close, THE RACING. The track was in very fair condition, althongn not fast, Tne weather was most suitable for racing, the horses always running best wnen a bright sun is shining over them. Five races were Tun, and they all gave satisfaction to the specta- tors. The time made vy the horses in the several races was most exceilent for the Jerome Fark track, which is always slower than any other in America. } 2:48 | usual 3 los, for se: E 18, 1875,—TRIPLE SHEET, Donnybrook $300, Galway won a cavital race, the 1aVorite coming i second, progressed :— THE FIRS’ RACE, declared vut, with $500 added; the second horse to recetve $125 out of the stakes; one mile and a quarter. .
