tee First Day of the Seoond Summer Meeting. Grand Attendance and Bril- liant Toilets. FOUR CAPITAL RACES. Parole, Grinstead, Madge and Dead- head the Winners. Sanatoca, August 10, 1875. “What a lovely morning!” was the universal excla- fmation of the pleasure seekers mt this placo as they ‘emerged from the hotels on their way & the springs, and the remark was a truthful one, as a more delightful atmosphere or a clearer sky could not possibly be imag- tned. The lovers of racing were in ecstasies at the pros- before them of a good track and fast time, and hastened through their regular matutinal duties of taking briny “drenches’? and breakfast, and repaired ‘to the pool room at an early hour, Business wa very ‘briek at that place with the speculators for a couple of hhours, and then the crowd adjourned to the track to re- @ume their bids on their favorites, At eleven o'clock ‘there was the usual bustle about the hotels, and vehi- , les of all conceivable grades were in demand, taking the thousands of elaborately dressed ladies and gentle- men t the races. Long before noon the grand stand and enclosures of the course presented a gay ap- pearance, the toilets of the ladies being as brilliant as ‘they wero diversifled. The lawn in front of the #tand was already at eleven o’clock crowded with pool ‘buyers and those who were paying homage to Damo Fortune in the Paris Mutuels, ‘Tho hours devoted to the sport passed rapidly away and by three o'clock tho ‘track was deserted and the guests at the hotels had changed their toilets and were ready for dinner. The three hours had passed in quite a successful manner for Mhe lover of the exciting. Pulo fragile beauties were seen to flash with excitement, to Jump upon their feet und to enthusiastically wave their handkerchiefs snd clap their hands when their favorite horse came in ‘Victorious, THE MAMIO OF TRE “RACKS”? ‘There te a magic in the two words ‘Saratoga races.” ‘The sentimental school girl poring on the piazza of Con- gress Hull over the last fashionable novel—and tho ‘last is always the best//—Jeaves her heroine in her most distressing situation; the society belle interrupts her flirtation even with the greatest beau and the most-ex- quisite swell; the politician discards for the moment the ambitious scheming for power and influence; the invalid Jady (who, like that famous gufferer in Dickens? “Board. ing House,” must have three mutton chops for at regular — intervals, = “by the floctor’s order,”) rallies sufficient strength to Srive to the race courte; the infituated lover breaks off his blissful courtship at the spring—und ail to attend this fascinating trial of skill and endurance between the acknowledged kings of the turf. There seems to be a bond of sympathy between the spectators and their favorite horses, just as people interest themselves in the Fnceess or defeat of human competitors for the prizes of skill and strength. And it is a sympathy which docs great credit to the heart, for it springs from the love of the noble and excellent, from the admiration of that which shines in beauty, skill, strength or endurance. How the heart beats with every motion of the horse that bids fair to be the winner, and how gratified evory- pne looks when the crowning victory appears to have been fairly won! THR PROGRAMME VENDRR, For an hour previous to the race the programie yeu er of course makes the bright day hideous with his dis- cordant shrieks. It is rather difficult to understand him, bat aMer he has bawled out fifty times in #0 many sec- ends, “Programme to-day’s race! Names 0’ the horses! Colors 0 the rider and weight they carry !” it is at last possible to comprehend the burden of his monotonous | wong. He does a driving business, Every one wants to Know all about the borses and the riders, and the ten cent stamps fly out of the people’s pockets as though fen cent stamps were a natural growth in Saratoga. A LOVELY SeENR. The view from the grand siand just previons to the ace was as bewatiful as the most ardent admirer of nature could have wished it, The quarter stretch, all alive with the beautiful prancing horses and the jockeys arrayed in their gay bright colors; behind them on the Jawn the more enthusiastic of the turfmen walking ex- eitedly up and down, eager for the siart; the judges? stand und the other little cottages all decked with stream- ing colors; the smooth, velvety turf; the dim outlines of the beautiful Green Mountaing to the east of the blue rim of the picturesque Adirondacks, merging in the horizon in the west—it was a lovely and interesting ecene, such as belongs to the most auspicious and the brightest days in Saratoga racing annals. The crowd on the grand stand was never greater, for every inch of available space was ocoupted; and although the dresses of the ladies were not of so magnilicent ac ‘tor as during previous = more = —extravagunt z when the American people had not yet the Ditter lessons = of += economy ‘through panics and = general stagnation of ‘business, the ladies Jooked quite as bright and gay as though ‘their dres had cost thousands instead of costing only bur The many political and sovial notabilities ‘were all present to lend additional interest to the open- ing day of the second meeting of the Saratoga Racing | “Association, and many of the well known society boiles of New York could have easily been recognized among the fair mombers of the audience. not only a success as riders was concerned, but aleo as an exuibition of the trinmphs of millinery und dresstusking. The modicte could have taken just as moch interest in the occasion as the sportsman, AN RXCITING DAY.

Still there are a ‘eat many gentlemen who believe in the racing qualk ies of the get of the great Lexington, and they backed the brother of Basset and Sultana, while others who admire the Anstralians and Pat Malloys looked for Ade- Jaide or Lillie Balle wo win. They were all fine looking ne horses and they made a capital race; but again ole won and the backers of Lorillard’s stable were right in vine, the long odds, Parole seetnod to win this race as easily as he had dene any qt shorter distances, and appeared litle distressed at the dnish, Mr. Belmont’s fillies ran well and finished in the same toanner they did lant Wednesday in the Saratoga Stakes.

THE TIME FIXED FOR THE AMATEURS’ ANNUAL REGATTA—ARRANGEMENT OF THE RACES— THE COURSE—TURNING INSTEAD OF “STRAIGHT AWAY” NOT POPULAR—PROBABLE CONTESTING CREWS YOR THE GRAND CHALLENGE CUP. Saratoga, August 10, 1875, ‘The Saratoga Rowing Association has fixed the dates for the Grand International Regatta on the lake, and on the 24th, 25th and 26th of the present month the moet- ing will take place, As with the two seasons past the regatta will be “open to the members of all regularly organized amateur rowing clubs in the United States and the British Provinces.” On tho first day a single scull shell race for the championship of the State of New York and a single scull race for juniors will be tho at- traction, The second day’s racing will be devoted to & single scull race for seniors and a pair- oared shell race; and on the third and last day a double scull race and the great four-oared shell race will be the concluding events, The prizes offered for competition aro artistic and costly, aggregating in valne, it is claimed, about $6,000, The committee having the arrangement of the regatta have dono well in adopting tho suggestions of the Herat to hold the regatta at an earlier date than that of last year, The Ist of September was an unwiso selection, Business commences to revive about then, and very many of those people who take an interest in rowing were pre- vented from coming here 6n that account, The change this year to an earlier date will no doubt prove advan- tageous, and although thero is but a slight chance of having the Georgia and South Carolina representa. tives, as we did last year, we may have other parts | of the South putin an appearance, Tho amateurs set a good example in 1874 when the plucky Vernon and Palmetto crows came all the way from Savannah and Charleston to meet the Northern oarsmen on Lako | Saratoga, When the summer of 1876 comes round and the busy hum of preparation for the great University race of that year will be going forward it is to be hoped that every section of the land, and particularly the South, will bo represented, and that in the annual meet- ing of the students of American universities North, South, East and West will take part. Some of the cok leges may not have facilities for rowing, but the youth of these institutions must not be deterred by that, as the meoting in 1876 will, in all probability, embrace, with its walking, running, boating, and base ball playing exhibitions, that of ritle shooting matches, thus affording all a chance to compete in a tournament of games which, with the growth of years, will be regarded as an annuab and national event, A STRAIGHTAWAY COURSE. ‘The sueceas which attended the college regattas in adopting a straightaway course is worthy of tho serious consideration of the managers of the atnateurs’ regatta, Objections to turning races are 0 manifold and obvious | to every rowing inan that it is to be regretted that the Regatia Committee this year did not adopt tho straight course instead of following out a programme similar t that of the two previous years by having tarning races, It is nogyet too late to make the change, The lanes used in the college races are still in existence, Lot these be appropriated in the hey bgp regatta, Give to-each competitor & separate lana, and Jet the same conditions which governed the University oarsmen also fnfluence the amateurs in their contest. It is still an undecided question whether a University crow can beat an amateur crew. If the winning crew of Cor- nell could be got together and induced to ap- pear upon the scene of their July triumph there is no doubt bnt a six from the many rowing clubs which will be represented here Inter in the month could be organized to test the result, Tf this cannot be done, then let the course for fours, in fact for all the races, be rowed throngh the University lanes, and some close estimate may be arrived at by comparison of time and allowance for the difference in the number of oars aa to who rows the fastest. Aside from this the straight course is the true one, and in this | opinion every oursinan we have litdle doubt will concur. THE SARATOGA CUP, There ts little doubt that the number of four-oared crews to compete this year will be much, if any, behind that of last year, Thirteen crews entered for the Grand Challenge Cup of the Association twelve months ago. Nearly every section of the country, save the Pacitic slope and New England, sent ropresentatives, None of the visitors were so heartily welcomed as the Soutborn crews, who came from Savannah and Charleston, avd, although tho Southerners did not achieve victory, they | can well consoie themselves with a ereditable perforni- | ance in the race by beating the famous Duquesne crew, of Pittsburg, the winners of 1873, together with the At~ lantic, of Hoboben; the Gramercy, of New York city, and | the Argonautas, of Canada, It is to be hoped that both | the Vernons and Palmettos will again put in an appear | ance on the water this year, aud, instead of being sev- | enth and eighth, they may Ve able to obtain a much bet- | ter place when the race is rowed, As might naturally be oxpectod, the Beaverwycks, of Albany, not only in- tond to row, but look forward with some degree of cor- tainty to hold the position they won last year, They | roved their ability to win, not by chance, but by good, | siermined rowing in their performance over the Troy | course immediately after the Lake Saratoga event, | Their victory at both places was a surprise to most | Peon, and Wo none more #0 than to the Argonautas, of | Horgan Point, who batashort time before had beaten ihe Atwlantas ag well as taken away the Schuylkill pe As the Argonautas intend to come again this year with the same crew with which they rowed last year, look out for warm work between the Albany boys and the Jersey lade. And yet neither crew may take away the prize, Last season was a disastrous one to the Atalantas, Luck was against them, | and, slthough Dr. Withers and bis associates | lacked not pluck, determined effort or skill, yet the Magenta of the honored old club failed to show up at the front, An entire change in the crew was made, and this year Eustis, the Wesleyan stroke of 1874, lays out | the work for the Atalaniaa, Associated with him is Ginstor, the Williams College stroke, and two others, equally good and true men. If weight, height, univer- sity skill anda good boat will make good count, the Ataluntas ought to give the best crew on the water a hard race, Eustis, it is said, bas his men out for prao- tice every day on the Harlem. Their rowing, according to report, is not particularly good or uniform, Thera | are, however, three good weeks for practice before the rao, aud much can be done in that time, The Ata- | lantis may not win, but there is little doubt they will | have a good place, Speaking of New York city and the Harlem calls to mind another four now practising | ti winners of the Grand Challenge Plate of the ‘Har. | Jom Association, will “take a hand in’ thie year, | A light crew—a very light orew, im fact—still it should be remembered that the Dnquesne, of | Pittsburg, the winning erew of '79, were also alight lot ‘Too much dependence must not be placed in The Neptunes, of Staten Ieland, it is ramorod, will send a a good one, too, if ramor whispers correctly men, The Neptune four will “go” hotly for Arey their opposite neighbors, and if they bens n they will not be fur off from the reward of victory, Some of the Neptune’s men are those who sat in the Waverley crow last «pring at the time they gave the Argonautas such a hard rice on the Schuylkill, And still the Winners may not be among those already men- toned, The Potomac boat will contain a far better crew this year than last, So will the Buflalos, and it is said the Pitueburgers have also improved vastly, The Buffalos and Potomace were whird and dfth last season, with Wab-Wah-Suma in fourth — place, and all three were only some few seconds be the winning boat, Tt is a pity the Wah- Possibly we may have the Pilot four, of Chicago, the winners of tho Toledo mgatta on Thursday, to represent the Work ‘the | timo they made two days since ie dangerously clore to | be regarded ag other than acrew to be feared. The Undines, of Toledo, and the Exoelsiors, of Detroit, need not be ashamed submit their rowing to the critical tests and comparisons of the Eastern oaremen, Then there are a number of Boston clabs who, for the honor | of New England, ought to Saratoga waters, They | might be able to take the prize to Boston, and surely | that would be leet to compénsate for Cornell's | victory over Harvard and Yale tm the University race. | ‘The Schuylkill Navy might well send a four. There is a chance for all; and imagine what a furore it woukl cro- wie in the Quaker City if the Saratoga prize went there. Fairmount would be illuminated and Strawberry, | Mansion would temember the event until the featnras of | the Centenntal would direct the current of thought in another The Schuytkill clubs onght by ail means to have a prize, they have yielded up so many. Instead of only two crews going from New York there ought to be at t balf a dozen, for instance, the Nassau, At their spring regatta they had four four- cared crews—all_ strong, enorgetic, dashing erews, The were for the coming regatta The Athletics, the | sre | CLOSING ‘of the competing boats came in together close company ‘after they crossed the score ‘the boats, rather than be'parted, went down together.

It is an organization whose pur- pose is the culture of its members in many athletic exercises, Its festival week began on Monday with several eculling races, which were reported in tho Herap of yesterday. After the boating the members and their guests went to the grounds of the club to witness pedal exercises, The first race was for 120 yards, in which distance five hurdles had to be over- leaped by the vaulting comfetitors, The hurdles were three feet eight inches high. ‘There were six starters in the race, and Mr. W. E. Walsh beat bis tive com- petitors, hts time being 17 seconde, ‘The second race was what was called a dash of 440 yards, Five athletes ran, and Mr. R. La Montague won the raco by about ten yards in 6044 seconds, ‘A mile walk was won by Mr. P. La Montagne in 1024 minutes. Four persons started in this contest, but ouly one besides the winner reached the goal. A dash of 100 yards, for boys, was won by Master M. La Montague tn 1334 seconds, ‘A dash of 100 yards, for seniors, was also won by Mr. R. La Montague in 113 seconds; and Mr. E. ©.

COYLE V8, JOHNSON-—PRESENTATION OF A MEDAL DO JOHNSON—CO¥YLE IN TRAINING—A SECOND RACE TO COME OFF ON THE 241% INST, Pur.apsurnta, August 10, 1875. In commemoration of the victory of J. B. Johnson, the English champion swimmer, in the contest with ‘Thomas Coyle, of Chester, the friends of the winner yesterday presented bim with a handsomo gold medal Mr. J. D. Heckman, chairman of the committee, in pre- senting the gift, said that he hoped it would be prized by the champion not for its intrinsic valua, but asa proof of the personal esteem in which he is held by numerous friends, In his speech in reply Mr. Johnson said that he would prize the trophy as being also an evidence that he was still tho champion swimmer not only of the Old World, but of this Continent also. The medal is a circular disk of gokd about an inch and three-quarters tn diameter, containing on its face the Rnglish and American flags in colored enamel, crossed over a globe, with the date, July 22, 1875, the day on which he swarm and defeated Coyle,’ The’ reverso contains the inscription, “Grand International Swimming Match for a Purso of $2,000, from Chester, Pa., to Gloucester City, N.

THE ORDER OF ARRIVAL, | A Ban to Newport To-Day in Anticipation of the Coming Races, Oax Beuevs, Mags,, August 10, 1878, ‘The New York Yacht squadron had another splendid ran to-day, the trip from New Bedford to this charming spot being marked by several exciting incidents In- deed, the cruise thus far has been exceedingly pleasant, owing a8 much to the excellent discipline maintained as to the complete harmony that prevails throughout the fleet. Nono of the regular races will take place until after the return of the squadron to Newport, a pro~ gramme that gives general satisfaction, and it is under- stood that no yacht will be allowed to compete tor the prizes that has not accompanied the fieet from the start, The events, therefore, will assuredly attract quite a number of contestants, THE STAY AT NEW BrpFORD was, as usual, limited, there being fow features at that port to detain the yachts, A meeting was held on board the flagship last night, when it was determined to proceed to this point this morning. The vessela were clustered in close proximity, and as the wind was from the southward and westward some little diffentty: was anticipated in getting out The vessels lying at anchor were the Alarm, Idler, Mohawk, Rambler, Vesta, Restless, Eva and Dreadnaught, and the shoops Addie, Vindex, Windward and Genia, Promptly at eleven o'clock the preparatory signal was fired from the fiag~ ship; but there were then but few indications of » brecze, Shortly before noon, however, the hopes of the yachtsmen were raised by the ripples on the water, topsails were run up, and when the warning to depart was heard murmuring over the harbor there wera lively times in every vessel. The Rambler, which occupied the best position in the fleet, wag the first to get under way. Nearly ail the vessels went off on the starboard tack, The sloops were led by the Windward, which quickly worked up to 8 foremost post: | tion, The Mohawk fotlowed in the wake of the Rama bier, and after them came the Glio, Eva, Vesta, Restless, Idler, Vindex and Addie V., the flagship Alarm bringing up the rear, Althongh the space was much confined the yachts wingd out beautifully, short tacks being in order in the vicinity of the lighthonse, Not a single foul or mishap occurred, though, viewing the scene from: a distance, one could not fail to be surprised at the near approach the yachts made to each other without acc | denk It was altogether A CHARMING SPROTACLE, | and woll repaid the crowds that ‘witnessed !t ‘The Rambler, which sailed remarkably well the entire day and finally carried off the honors, at once assumed a decided lead, the Mohawk still following in her wake, while the sloop Windward still remained ahead of her competitors, Tho Rambler passed the lighthouse on the starboard tack, and then made a clean stretch to tha southward. Meanwhile the Clio, Idler, Restless and Vosta were coming up in good shape, with the Vindex, Addie, Eva and Alarm behind. Tho wind freshened somewhat, and a eplondid ran was evidently in store for all hands.’ The Rumbler inéroased her lead, still ful- lowed by ‘THE MONAWE, which, however, did not sail as well as she did on the previous Saturday. Her huge spread of canvas will, doubtless, set better after a short time, and it may require a little experimenting before the fine capacities of this noble craft can be thoroughly tested. She ts un- questionably a splendid addition to the pleasure flees of the country. Shortly before one o’clock the Idler, which bad now passed the.Clio and Restless, camo up on the weather+ uarter of the Mohawk, but soon after went about, The io followed and then came the Restless, the Vin- dex and Addie and the Vesta, Eva and Alarm, Between, | the three last mentioned vessels some tine sailing tools pluce, tho Vesta particularly calling to min ‘her ‘historic feat "some years ago. The Idler | was exceedingly well handled, and —_ shortly: alter one o'clock was. the second vessel in the fleet, tha | Windward being third, the Mohawk next, and the Clio, | Restless, Vesta, Alarm and Eva following in the order | named.’ Among the hindmost vessels the Alarm began | to pick np well with the fleet, the Clio maintaining a good position on the leeward quarter of the Mohawk, between which and the Idler some exciting passes took | place. Indeed, the scene all through Buzzard’s Bay | was very enlivening, tho wind holding well, though at times it was a trite wo light for the larger vessels. Approaching Pasquer Island, at the entrance to Quick's) Hole, the Rambler, which had now assined a long lead, tacked before rounding the point, the Idler etanding on and weathering it, followed by the Mohawk, the Windward, the Clio and Vesta in company, the Vindex, Alarin, Addie, Restless, Eva and the little, | sloop Geni. ‘The Idier ronnded the buoy in the vicinity” of Pasquer Island at ih, 40m. P. M., and the Mohawic a 1h, 49m, THE win | now freshened considerably and the Mohawk began to | overhaul the Idler, especially as the latter came up | toward Tarpaulin Cove with a free sheet, All the ves- sels glided along beautifully and as the vessels inthe | rear were all ina bunch the effect was charming. The | tun through Vineyard Sound was all that could be | desired, and as the squadron approached the bluff crowus | of spectators assembled to witness the sight. THR ANCHORAGE GROUND | was reached in the following order and time:—Rambler, Sh, 16m. ; Idler, 3h, 23m. 308.; Mohawk, 3b. 24m. 808. > Vesta, 3h. 2%m.; Clio, 3h.

The blots, which presented a very animated scope, rang with | salutes from the different yachts, and soon sails were | filled with sightseers, anxious to have a closer inapec- | tion of the trim craits as they rode at anchor. Tho i place is crowded with people, all the hotels and cottages peine full. The squadron will proceed to Newport to~ morrow, aad the first race will take place the following duy.
