per RACING AY SARATOGA. Fourth Day of the Second Summer Meeting. A Brilliant Attendance and Delightful Weather. —— THREE CAPITAL RACES. THE FAVORITES BEATEN TWICE. Brigand, Nettie Norton and Dead- head the Winners. The fourth day of the August meeting was scarcely less brilliant in point of favorable accessories, beautiful weather, crowded attendance and exciting sport than its auspicious predecessors, The sky was overcast and tho picturesque fleecy clouds sailing over the mountains rather indicated that a storm was lurking in the dis- tance; but the air, though somewhat close, was so dry and brilliant, the glimpses of the firmament which could now and then be obtained were so ‘‘peautifully blue,” as Byron would say, and the appearance of the racecourse and its surroundings were so grateful to the eye that it made one easily forget the probabilities of another rainy afternoon. The attendance was large, though of course not so great as on the first day. THE ADVENT OF YESTERDAY'S RACE was looked forward to with especial eagerness, for the betting had been extremely lively and extensive, And, by the way, the word~‘extensive” is one scarcely apt | in designating the almost universal habit of betting which prevails in Saratoga during the racing days. Old, gray-haired men and young bucks, dignified matrons and coy maidens, the serious and tho gay, the philoso- pher—if there is one of this class at Saratoga, at this decidedly unphilosophical place—and the fop, the mill- fonaire and the good looking young fellow, who carries all the wealth he possesses on his back—they all bet, The fair sex bet, of course, in a quiet, genteel way. They do not go to Morrissey’s pool room—oh, that wouldn’t do, But they say to their male protectors and friends—‘‘fom” or “Dick” or “Harry,’? as the case may bé—‘“buy me a couple of tickets in the French pools.” And thus it is that you | will find yourself suddenly in the midst of a group of pretty young girls on the piazza of Congress Hall, and while you judge from their animated conversation that they are comparing notes on the latest styies you will hear them talkK—about what, do you think? About horses | THE PAIR SEX AS BRTTERS. This also accounts for the intense and remarkable ex- citement which they invariably exhibit during the prog- ress of the race, The eagerness with which a fashion- able woman looks at the new bonnét displayed in a Broadway shop is nothing compared tosthat with which she strains her neck to pursue through the cloud of dust the horse which she ardently hopes may prove to be the winner. Do you see that young, frail, blonde girl, | who looks as though she had just come fresh from the | school room? Do you observe the frantic delight with which she claps those dainty little hands blazing with diamonds ?—the dainty little hands here always do blaze. Perhaps it is because she likes to see the noble animal come in for its well-merited share of glory? Ah, no; banish that lofty thought. The reason is a much more matter-of-fact one. She has just won a couple of hundred dollars ! WHAT WE OWE TO BETTING. There is also a more harmless style of betting among the women when they have lost considerable money or are naturally of a conservative nature and do not like to risk much, It is to bet half a dozen pair of gloves, a fan, or some other little article of ladies’ apparel, Tho injunction, ‘Do not bet!” is not included in the halfa | dozen Saratoga commandments; for this sinful place tho other half dozen are left out. If you do not bet you are Jooked upon as the very greatest oddity. And no doubt | the universal habit of betting stimulates and widens tho interest generally taken in the races, and we owe to it the presence of many a sweet, rosy face, and a plump, graceful form that shed lustre on the grand stand. THE DRESSES on the grand stand yesterday were of the gayest and brightest colors, Among the Saratoga commandments above alluded to the very first one is, “Show your clothes;” and if all the others were carried out so strietly with such blind obedience what a good world this would be! The men are coolly and comfortably dressed in linen and flannel suits, and on the lawn in front they stroll about under the shade of huge umbrel- Jas. They saunter to and fro, singly and in groups, with excited faces, After every finish the scene is pretty much the same. The lawn is suddenly deserted, from having been crowded but a moment ago, for every- body has rushed to the pool stand, The loud buzz which accompanies the horses quickly subsides after tho first outburst of excitement, and gives way to agentler | murmur of satisfaction and disappointment. THE SCRAMBLE TO GET HOME. e During the progress ot the races the sky cleared con- siderabiy and the scene became even brighter toward the close, It was about two o’clock when the last race had been decided and when the scramble for the gate began. This is always much more exciting than the arrival, for everybody has become thoroughly hungry by being for the last two hours in the open air, and the rush for the carriages and stages waiting ontside is something fairly bewildering. If every one were rush- ing to sgeure the salvation of his soul he would not do | it more eagerly than he now tries to quickly procure the means of getting back to the hotel and to an early dinner. The weather was delightful and tho track in admir- able condition. A famous old trainer remarked “a horse that cannot run to-day cannot rap at all.” He was right. All the horses engaged could run and they all | ran fast, the fleetest in every instance coming home | first not like it was on Saturday last, when some pulling | was done, Three races were on the card, thd first | being a dash of a mile and an eighth, the second a dash ofa mile and three-quarters and the third a hurdle race of two miles over eight hurdles, The first event was for a purse of $500, beaten maidens allowed 7 lbs, Eight entries were made, com- prising the following horses, all of which came to the post:—Doswell & Cammack’s (J. McCormack) bay colt Brigand, by Planct, dam Britannia 4th, 4 years old; 'T. B. & W, R. Davis’ chesnut horse Fadiadeen, by War Dance, dam- Nora Creina, aged; A. Belmont’s Diack colt Rhadamanthus, by Leamington, dam Nemeeis, 3 years old; D. McDaniel & Co.'s bay filly by Leamington, dam Naphtha; A. B. Lewis & Co.'s chost- nut filly Vinaigrette, by Vandal, dam Liza Davis, 3 years old; John H. Davis’ (Mr. Wyche’s) bay maro Mary Long, by Warminster, dam by Tar River, 5 years | old; C. 8, Lloyd’s brown colt by Asteroid, dam Katona, 4 years old; G. Longstreet’s bay filly Countess, by Ken- tucky, dam Lady Blessington, 4 years old. All ‘the above horses have run frequently before and aro well known by those who attend turf meetings, with the exception of Lloyd’s Asteroid colt, the latter making his first appearance at\this place on the second day of the first meeting, when he ran very poorly. Brigand hag | run many races, but the lost ovo previous to the pregent ‘was made gonspicuous by the horse—who was consid- ered a coward—having beon made drunk by being well dosed with whiskey before being brought to the post. He ran courageously and won easily, but he did not get his allowance of grog for this raco, as his owner said if he could not win without ram he might lose, and to the surprise of many he won a capital raco in excellent tume. Fadladeén ran a mile and an eighth, in heats, Jost spring, at Jerome Park, and was beaten by Grin: stead and Rhadamanthus in 1:50%, 2:01%, the old horse being second in the first heat. Rhadamanthus bas run twice at this meeting; the firet time three- uarters of a mile, when he was beaten by Madge; but tbe second race, a mile and an eighth, he won easily, beating Australind, McDaniel’s Naphtha filly and Paper Maker. The MeDanich Rapntha ily ha run threo times, the first race with 75 Tbs, up, when she surprised the lookers-on at the manner she ran away from her competitors, Her next raco waa with Countess and some others, in which she was beaten. Sho ran again last Saturday, and was beaten by Rhadamanthus and Australind, ‘The excuse for her defeat tm the latter race was that she could not run in the mud. Vinai- grette ran a good race early in the season at Louis- ville, but hag not distinguished herself since, although she bas run several times, Mary Lon, made her début at Long Brauch in ao dash o one mile, where she was beaten by Leander, Counters, Verdigri#, leader, Dublin, Inspiration and Vandalite. second appearance was in a race for beaten horses, THE RACING, | i i} NEW YURK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1875—rRIVLE SHEET. ‘one mile and a half, when she was peaten py Scratch, Dublin, and Vandalite, Countess has been very success” full at this p winning every time ‘that she started, before to- janthus was the favorite in the pools, on this race, Countess second choice, Brigand ‘and McDaniel’s filly alternating for third and fourth place, Brigand won. the raco by four lengths im 35634, in ‘the easiest ‘ible manner, Rhadaman- thus Second, Fadladeen third. The backers of Rhpda- manthous lost heavily on the result. He ran a capital race throughout, first having to beat McDaniel’s filly and then Countess, which were thought to be the only dangerous ones, The time of the mile from stand to stand was run in 1:44%¢. Tho owner of Brigand then decided not to start him in the second race, as this vic- tory was glory enough for one day, ‘Tho second event way for w free handicap for all ages, one mile and three-quarters, For this there were four starters, com) ying J. Donahue’s bay colt Scratch, by Kentucky, luke, 4 years old, 108 Ib; John Coffee’s bay filly Nettie Norton, 4 Leamington, dam Long Ning, A sears old, 100 Ins McDaniel’s chest- nut colt W; ie Burke, by Baywood, dam Katinka, 3 ears old, 88'Ibé:, and A. B. Lewis & Co.’s bay colt ‘agabond, by: Vi dam Gem, 8 years old, 80 Ibs, All the above are well known on the turf, and the spec- tators seemed to bo all abroad as to the’ capabilities of the horses engaged. Willie Burke was the favorite not- withstanding that he has been beaten every time that he ran this year. Scratch was second choice, his numerous: and well-run races warranting his backers in laying their money on him, particularly his fine run with Grinstead and Aaron Pennington in the mile and a half dash last Thursday, Nettie Norton has run but once before this year, which was at Jerome Fark on June 17, in, a fr @ andicap sweepstakes, one mile anda quarter, In that race she was beaten by Survivor, Willie Burke, Cariboo and Audubon. Since that time she had been’ “out of fix;” but her trainer thonght she was fit to run for this urse, and she made a capital race, coming easily to the Ront at the finish. Vagabond had ton pounds off, and being a very fine, strong runner and a well bred ‘colt, many of the speculators fancied him. Nettie Norton won the race by two lengths, Scratch second, Wilkie Burke third, Vagabond fourth, Time, 8:08%,’ which ‘was very excellent time for a filly that was supposed not to be up to the mark in condition, ‘The third race was a handicap hurdle raco of two miles, over eight hurdles, for a purse of $500 to the winner and $160 to the second horse, Six horses came to the post. These were Jo Donahue’s bay gelding Deadhead, by Julius, dam Leisure, 4 years old, 146 Ibs. ; and the same gentleman’s bay horse Cariboo, by Lexing: ton, dam Alice Jones, 5 years old, 142 Ibs, ; George Long- staff's bay horse Coronet, by Jonesboro, dam Garland, 5 years old, 141 Ibs, ; A.

When the horses left the shute and passed into the regular track at the half-mile pole Willie Burke was only a neck in front of Vagabond, the latter taking the lead soon ‘afterward. Nettie Norton was third at the half-mile jole, Scratch trailing. Running around the lower turn Vagabond showed the way, Willie Burke being *palled double,” Nettie Norton third and.Scratch fourth.

Going down the backstretch Cariboo ran up, and as the horses jumped the seventh hurdle at the half-mile polo the threo were all in the air together, When they landed Shaughraun was best on his feet, and he got away a length from Deadhead, and held this advantage for & short time on tho lower turn; but the latter, by a gallant effort, again took sides with Shaughiraun, and thoy swung into the homestretch side and side. A'very exciting struggle under the whip brought the horses to the last hurdle head and head, and they jumped the brush simultaneously, when, coming on as best they could, Deadhead won the race by a neck and shoulders in 3:64; Cariboo came in third, Coronet fourth, Warrior fifth and Lily sixth. And thus ended the fourth day of the second summer meeting. Mr. Baldwin (called here Lucky Baldwin, of California) to-day bought of J. E. Brewster the racehorse Ruther- furd.

A SERIES OF GOOD STEEPLECHASES PROJECTED— ENTHUSIASTIO RESPONSE TO THE SUGGES- TION—A NOVELTY FOR NEWPORT—OPENING MEETING ON THE FOURTH OF SEPTEMBER. Newrort, R. 1., August 17, 1875. In addition to the other attractions here this season & movement is on foot to have a series of good steeple- chases, Although the affair has not been in progress more than twenty-four hours owners of cottages and others haye already subscribed $2,500, and probably within a few days a much larger subscription list will be in the hands of the gentlemen who are to make tho necessary arrangements for the meeting. Mary of tho fastest horses in the country will duabtless participate in the events, for the Purses will probably be the largest that have ever been offered for steeplechasers, and no better inducements could be offered to owners to send their best animals, It is now generally understood, and in_ this the gentle- men of Newport interested seom to concur, that tho meeting will be held in the rich, grassy fields in the neighborhood of the Narragansett Gun Club, Here the soil and climate resemble very much the soil and cli- mato of England, where the best steeplechasing is done—over good green turf, and is altogether a delight- ful spot for successful sport of this kind, A NOVELTY IN NEWPORT. This may be considered as an attractive novelty in Newport; for, with the exception of a meeting here a fow years ago, got up by some dozen or so of gentlemen, nothing on such & scale as now proposed has ever taken place here, ‘ THE DATE OF THE MEETING, With a view of not interfering with the meeting at Long Branch, which takes place on the 26th inst., own- ers have been invited to have their arrangements made so that they can attend at the opening, on September 4, and, as it is a Saturday, it will permit of a good many people coming from the city, This will give their horses sufficient time to rest—at least those that are en- tered at the “Seaside Capital.” “GRACK)? CANADIAN HORSES, It is stated that some of the “crack”? Canadian horses will be here also, so as to give them an opportunity of competing with the best horses in this country, From present appearances it will be a brilliang affair, and will, in all probability, result in the formation of a racing as- sociation, with an annual meeting of this kind, NARRAGANS SETT PARK MEETING. TWO ATTRACTIVE RACES YESTERDAY—A SMALL ATTENDANCE OF SPECTATORS, Provipence, R, T., August 17, 1875. The summer meeting at Narragansett Park opened this afternoon with two attractive races, but with a small attendance of spectators. * For the first race, for horses that had never beaten three minutes, for a purse of $100, $50 to first, $25 to second, $15 to third and $10 to fourth, there were ten entries. First money was given to John Henry’s Gray, second toW. 8. Thomas? Elsie, third to 'T. S, Carpenter's Joker, fourth to Lounsbury’s Rose Thorndike, Time, 2:423,—2:48—2:42, For the second race, for horses that never beat 2:33, for a purse of $250; $125 to first, $65 to second, $35 to third and $25 to fourth, Firat and fourth money was won by Piifer’s Jasper, second by ©.

Newrorr, R. L., August 17, 1875, The triangular race set down for to-morrow will prob- ably bring the cruise of the New York Yacht Club toan end, although nothing has yet been determined in re- gard to the matter. It has thus far given grout satisfac- tion, all the movements from the start having been characterized by good discipline and harmony, Tho contest to-morrow promises to bring out the best sailing qualities of some of the competitors. The course will be from Brenton’s Reef lightship to and around the Sow and Pigs’ lightship, thence to and around the buoy off Block Island and back. There will be no time allowance, and consequently the larger ves sols will have a better chance to carry off the honors; indeed, should the weather prove at all favorable I think the Mohawk will prove herself worthy the en- comiums which have been deservedly paid her by all who have witnessed her performances, The entries for the schooner race include the Rambler, Alarm, Mohawk, Idler, Restless and Dreadnaught, and for the sloop race, the cutter Vindex, Vision and Addie V. Between the three last mentioned vessels a spirited contest may be expected. The fleet lay quietly at anchor all day, and in the afternoon was handsomely decorated with tho gayest bunting, It is rumored in yachting circles that match races will shortly come off” between the Mohawk and Rambler and between the Comet and Estelle.

THE RIFLE TEAM RECEPTION. MEETING YESTERDAY OF THE JOINT COMMITTEE OF THE N. R. A. AND A. RG, Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, there was a meeting of the Joint Committee of the National Rifle As- sociation and the Amateur Rifle Club in the offices of the former organization, No. 93 Nassau street. Tho business transacted related exclusively to the reception which is in course of preparation in honor of the Amer- ican rifle team. ‘There were present Generals M. T. Me- Mahon and Kilburn Knox, Colonel Geo. W. Wingate and D. W. Judd. General McMahon was called to the chair, Mr. Judd reported on behalf of the Sub-Committeo on Procession that ho had had an interview with tho agents of the Inman steamship line, who said they would be able this forenoon to say definitely when tho City of Berlin, on which the team embarked, will reach this port. She sailed from Cork Harbor at half-past four o'clock P. M. on Thursday last, and will probably reach New York on Saturday noxt at the samo hour of the day, The vessel will occupy about three hours to make the run from the point where it is expected she will be first sighted until reaching her dock. During this interval’ tho steamer Neilson K. Hop: kings will endeavor to connect’ with the Berlin near Quarantine landing. As soon as the health oificers shall have visited the ship the team will be re- ceived by their friends on the Hopkins and conveyed to this city. It is expected that the Hopkins, with the re- ception committee and their friends on board, will leave New York about two o’clock on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Judd moved that the committee be authorized to spend $260 instead of $150as at first resolved, This was agreed to, The boards of directors of the joint asso-! ciations (National Rifle Association and Amateur Ritle Club) number about thirty persons, who, with their friends, are expected to figure in the forthcoming recep- General McMahon reported from the Sub-Committeo on Banquet that the dinner of ceremony to be tendered the team will probably take place ten days after they shall have arrived home, It was resolved that the propor sub-committee be in- structed to adopt a reception badge. This consists of a strip of blue ribbon, tipped with gold fringe. fol- lowing device is printed on it in gold letters:—‘Joint Committee National Rifle Association and Amateur Rifle Club. Reception Committeo American team.” The committee adjourned until to-day at three o'clock, CRICKET. The two cricket matches which were interrupted by the rain on Thursday last will be played over again to- morrow. The St. Georgo’s Club will play the Staten Island Club at Hoboken and the Prospect Park Club will play the Paterson Club at Paterson, N. J. é At Hoboken the St, Goorge’s Club will present the following team:—Gibbes, Sleigh, Cashman, Moeran, Harcombe, Marsh, Giles, Holland, Blackwell, Bennett and Green, The team of the Staten Island Club will be as follows:—Moore, Stevens, Davis, Romilly, Luske, Brewster, Donald, Robinson, M. Byre, Rogers and Messer, At Paterson the Prospect Park Club will play in their team Peters, Dodge, Crossley, Sprague, Love, Ronaldson and Errington, and'the Paterson Club'will place against them Kirk, Bates, Hooper, Greig, Lemon, McDougal, Claréson, Jackson and Bullock. The St, George’s professional, Mr, George Giles, will ‘day, after a close game, at Jersey City, by a score of 6 have a good wicket at Hoboken, and if the weather is fine a good game will be played. Arrangements are about being made to give a cricket benelit to profes- sional William Brewster at Staten Island. The Staten Island Club leave for their tour through this State on Saturday next. THE NATIONAL GAME. A GOOD GAME ON THE CAPITOLINE GROUNDS. The first game of a series between the Chelseas, of Brooklyn, and the Olympics, of Manhattanville, was to have taken place yesterday on the Capitoline Grounds, but only four of the Brooklyn nine presented them- selves. Tho Chelseas therefore forfeited the game. The four players of the Chelseas’ nine, however, procured five other players from the fleld—members of the Mutual, Concord and Arlington clubs—and played the visitors @ practice game, which interested the spec- tators as much as would the regular game.

The bill of musical selections at this beautiful garden last night had very many attractive features. The band | has reached in tone and power of artistic rendering such a high standard that even well known works like the march from “‘Athalia,” the overture to “Der Frois- chutz,” and Gounod’s ‘Faust,’ as given last evening, were more enjoyable than on many previous occasions when a “ivy pretentious orchestra presented them tothe public, The reed instruments in Mr, Gilmore’s band are particularly deserving of praise; as there is an entire ab- sence of that coarseness of tone and undisciplined effort that mars other military bands im this country. Théy | are fast attaining the perfection of violins in a first class | orchestra, The soloists last night were Mr. Arbuckle, | who played a cornet solo by De Beriot; Mr. Sohst, the | favorite baritone, who sang an aria from Gounod’s | “Nazareth,” and Mr. Becher, who rendered, ina skilful | manner, Paganini variations on the fagotto. Immense | preparations are being made at this garden for the re- ception of the victorious American rifle team, on Mon- day evening, on which occasion a new programme will | be presented. The staff officers of the principal New | York regiments will attend in full uniform. Mr. Gilmore | should remove from his programme the ‘Mfosaic—con- | cert, air and variations,” by Riviére, as it has figured | too conspicuously this season, and is hardly worth such prominence, THOMAS’ CENTRAL PARK GARDEN. That the name of Mozart has lost none of its magic | powers with the music-loving people of New York, even | during the sultry nights of August, was amply shown | Jast night at Thomas’ Garden, The audience was very | large and correspondingly appreciative of the old com- poser, whose memory will be revered long after many of the would-be musical reformers of the present day are entirely forgotten. Mr. Thomas prepared an entire surprise even for those who were familiar with Mozart’s works. In a ficld generally supposed to have been thoroughly gleaned he has found new attractions that were rapturously received last evening. The ‘“Con- certone,” for two solo violins, oboe and violoncello, with orchestral accompaniment—the solo quartet being magnificently rendered by Messrs, Jacobsohn, Arnold, Eller and Heman—proved to be an unexpected treat. It is in four movements and represents Mozart in his hap- piest vein, Then there was a delicious concerto for flute and harp, played by Messrs. Wehner and Lock- wood, that was toa certain degree the piece de resist- ance of the evening. Nothing could be more artisti- | cally conceived and wrought out ingeniously than this concerto, The other works on the programme were an introduction and fugue in © minor, the Grand Sym- phony in © (Jupiter), “Rondo de Chasse,” the over- tures to “Magic Flute” and “Marriage ot Figaro,” and the Masonic funeral music. The performance was worthy of the high renown of Thomas’ orchestra, Raff’s ‘Im Walde” symphony will be given on Thurs- day night. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES. Christine Nilsson, although she has had nurperous profitable engagements in Europe, expresses a sincere desire to revisit America, Adelina Patti, having refused may brilliant offers for this country, may be regarded as a non-comer on this side of the Atlantic for many years to come. ‘A concert will be given on Thursday night at tho Mansion House at Long Branch for the benefit of the Free Training Schools of this city. Mr. George W. Morgan will act as accompanist, and the vocal soloists will bo Mile, L’Estella, Messrs, H. R. Humphries, Arthur Cook, D. Baron and Jules Lombard. Mr. W. F, Mills will also perform selections upon the piano, THE BAVARIAN FESTIVAL. Large crowds of visitors were in attendance at the | Harlem River Park yesterday to’ participate in the sec- ond day’s festivities of the Bavarian national festival, The festivities yesterday consisted of a variety of popular games, choral exercises and other social pas- times and amusements. The Belvedere was, until @ late hour at night, . with dancers, During the afternoon the visitors, at in- | tervals, were entertained with some excellent prome- nade and concert music and by the exercises ofa chil- dren’s singing school In the evening, when | the festival “grounds were brilliantly’ illumi- nated, there were tableaux representing scenes and episodes from the history of Bavaria. Tho festival grounds at times presented the scenes of a com- plete German fair, with magicians performing, minia- ture theatricals, gymuastic exhibitions, rope dancing,ete. | A Tyrolese quartet also was in attendance, entertain- | ing their visitors with thelr peculiar vocal performances reciting their native chants and ‘Joddling” songs. The members of the different militia and rifle organizations | during the afternoon engaged in rifle practice, Medals | have been provided to be awarded to the best: marks- men, Late in the evening there was also a night pa- rade on the festival grounds bya “night guard,” in imitation of an ancient Bavarian institution.

Lonvow, August 2, 1875. To-day Captain Bogardus, champion wingshot of America, shot a match for £200 a side against Samuel Shaw, of Manchester. As has been already related, the match was made when the Captain visited Manchester, the other day. At the time £50 were staked by both Friday the remaining £150 were deposited at the office of that journal The match has come off, and as most people who knew anything about the American’s skill asa pigeon shooter were perfectly aware, he has won with ridiculous ease. The rules observed to-day were the Royal Oak (Manchester) rules, which, excepting in one particular (that a man can start a maimed bird that has fallen out of the boundary in and claim a kill) are similar to Bell's Life regulations. It was at first intended to shoot the match at Mr. Warner’s Welsh Harp, Hendon, but that ground having been pre-en- gage#the parties were obliged to fall back upon Lillie Bridge grounds, which are situated at Brompton, No less than 100 birds each were to be shot at 21 yards rise, with an ounce of shot, and each man to find birds and trap for his opponent. The ounce of shot, it may be remarked, is not Captain Bogardus’ usual shot, which is 14 ounces; but the American waived this and several other inconveniences in favor of his rival. Both men appeared to-day in good condition, the MANCHESTER MAN and his friends being confident of success, The Captain backed himself to win for a large stake, and his offers to lay were greedily taken up by the Man- chester contingent, which was on the ground in some force, The betting in London has been about even on Captain Bogardus, who fully justified the confidence of his friends in the result The weather to-day was | gloriously fine, and as a consequence a goodly number of holiday people journeyed to the ground to witness this, one of the biggest pigeon shooting matches that has been shot in London, The light was fair throughout the day, and the shooting on both sides remarkably good. Mr. H. Smith, of Bell's Life, acted as judge and referee, The match commenced about half-past ten o'clock, when (probably on account of the early hour at which the proceedings were timed to begin) there were not many people on the ground. SHAW OPENED WITH A MISS, the bird, a good strong tailer, getting off along the ground. The Captain followed with a good kill, tho bird, which made for the boundary, bemg well caught half way. Shaw’s second bird was well on the wing and he secured a neat kill. Bogardus now camo forward to arock, which got well and strongly on tho wing and proved a good kill for, the shooter. Shaw's third got swiftly out of the trap and was fairly grassed. The Cap- tain’s third essay was to a bird that proved too strong for the gun. Shaw came next with a weakish pigeon, which, however, credited his score with a kill; whilo the Captain’s fourth bird, a regular good one that rose in fine style, was capitally grassed. THE STYLE OF THE MEN bad nothing in common, Bogardus shot with great quickness and raised his gun in a prompt, sportsman- like manner; while Shaw bugged his gun in a clumsy way and shot late. Shaw’s fifth bird was a fraud black rock that eluded the gun cleverly, but the American's, which was also a clinking pigeon, was cleanly grassed. The sixth and seventh rounds were both gained by the gun, but in the eighth Shaw failed to score, the bird, which was hit, getting away, The captain’s eighth was a stout tailer, which he killed in fine style. The ninth and tenth birds were both credited to the gun, the men shooting very well. The score now was— BOGARDUS, 9 OvT OF 10; saw, 7 OUT or 10. Shaw's eleventh bird rose somewhat slowly, but, gain- ing confidence, turned sharply to the right, when {t was capitally grassed. Tho Captain’s bird was a swift tailer and was a fair kill, The twelfth round commenced with | a good pigeon to Shaw, which dropped before a well di- rected shot. The American’s twelfth hung a bit at the trap, and the shooter missed a good, strong bird. In the next round Shaw’s rock got strongly on the wing and proved a fair kill, while the Captain’s, a low tailer, did not got far away from: the trap before it fell. In the following round (the fourteenth) the pigeon rose per- pendicularly and with great strength; Shaw shooting slow and aiming low, the bird got out of boundary. Bogardus’ bird got well out of the trap and dropped to a good kill Shaw’s fifteenth was a clinker and well grassed, and the Captain got quickly to busi- ness with his bird and secured a splendid kill There were now offers to lay short odds on Bogardus, The next round of Shaw proved too strong on the wing for the gun; it dropped, however, out of bounds. The American’s sixteenth rock was “turned over’? with remarkable precision. In the seventeenth round Shaw got quickly at’ the pigeon and scored a fair kil. The Captain’s bird got on the wing swiftly, and fell dead out of boundary. Shaw’s suc- ceeding rock hung slightly, and, the gun being slow, the bird got well away. Tho Captain’s eighteenth was a pretty kill. Even prettier was Shaw’s kill in the fol- lowing round, the bird rising swiftly and making tracks to the right. The Captain’s bird in this round was one of the best trapped, and one of the best kills of the day. Shaw now came forward to a bird that turned sharp to the right, and was killed close to the gun. The Cap- tain’s twentieth pigeon got swiftly out of the trap to the left, rose high, and was excollently grassed. i TUE SCORE NOW STOOD—BOGARDUS, 17 OUT oF 20; SHAW, 14 ovr oF 20, ° Shaw opened the twenty-first with a smart bird, which, being waited upon, fell in good style before the gun. Bogardus got quickly at his pigeon—too quickly, Shaw objected; but the referee ruled it was a “fair bird’’—and grassed it in capital style, The nextround added one to the total of each shooter, The twenty-third round com- menced with a miss by Shaw. The bird was hit and dropped within bounds, but subsequently rose and got twenty yards out of bounds. The Captain’s bird was a “raiser,” and was killed when well on the wing. OFFERS OF TEN TO FOUR OFFERED ON THE AMERICAN, Shaw now scored an easy bird, and the American's ‘was a brilliant “dead ’un,”” The Manchester man, still waiting on the bird, grassed a good strong flyer in the following round, which his opponent followed up with a good tailer that shot right away to the distance. Shaw's next bird skimmed low ina similar direction, and, al- though maimed, got away. ‘The Captain’s kill was to a sluggish pigeon, which flew toward the gun, Shaw's succeeding bird turned swiftly*out of the trap and dropped to a moderate kill. The American’s pigeon, which, in a shabby way, had been “scalped” before- hand, rose well and proved an additional kill for him, Shaw opened the twenty-eighth round with a clean kill, | and the American’s pigeon, which got strongly on the | wing, was neatly grassed. In the twenty-ninth round the Northern man stepped up to a vigorous pigcon, which, however, did not remain long on the wing, being twenty-ninth round rose strongly and was well killed. The thirtieth round of | Shaw was a nasty, “ricking” bird, which got well on the wing, but which, being waited upon by the shooter, was adroitly grassed, The Captain casily killed bis | KILLED 10 IN SVOCKSSION AXD 27 OUT oF 30, while the Manchester man had grassed but 22 out of the same number, The next round (the thirty-first) opened with a kill to Shaw, and the American's pigeon, which rose very slowly, was patiently waited upon and neatly killed, Shaw’s succeeding essay was to a clinking young bird, which was well grassed, Tho American's was a | deceptive low flyer, but was grassed well within th boundary. A good strong bird was trapped w Shaw thirty-third round, which, however, did not add to his total, as it dropped dead three yards out of boundary. The Captain's was a pretty Kill to a badly rcking bird. In the thirty-fourth round the bird went away low down, Being waited upon by the shooter it was hit and dropped a little owt of the line, By the Royal Oak rules (as before stated) the bird was started within the ounds and a bird counted for Shaw. The Captain's rose swiftly and was grassed in fine style, Shaw again bad a kill, but the American's bird rose high on the wing and the shooter was too low for it. The Manchester cham- pion’s thirty-sixth round was a clean miss to a splendid roek, which went away unhurt, A good bird rose to the Captain’s shot, and he never allowed it a chance of get- ting near the dangerous white line. Shaw’s thirty. seventh round was a good Kitl, and the Captain, waiting upon his pigeon, put another kill to his credit in fine style. The following round brought out a strong bird, who was hit by Shaw, but dropped exactly a yard be- yond the boundary. ‘he Captain’s was a cleaver kill of a strong rock---a tail ran for an officer and had Giameili arrested and locked up EN TO THEN ON THM ANERRICAN?? } was cried, The thirty-ninth round secured to Shaw a | 3 splendid kill from a swift pigeon that got well away; but the Captain's was no less a good kill to a bird that was well on the wing. |The fortieth round was toa bird who got away swiftly on the wing—too swiltly, in fact, for the Manchester man, who couldn’t get near it, The American’s bird rose well and dropped to a capital kill, The Captain had now KILLED 88 ovT oF 40, and Shaw’s score had fallen back to 28, thus being ten birds behind. The forty-first bird was an unfort nate one for Shaw. The bird was a good and a one, rising well buat dipping as the shooter escaped unharmed, The Captain’s pigeon got out in fine style, but the gun was dead on it. Again Shaw came to the terete to a good rock, which ricking proved a great deal too much for him. The Captain’s bird rose with a rush, swerved and fell dead. The next was the forty-third round, in which Shaw secured a, fair kill from a slowish bird. ‘The Captain’s bird, on the contrary, was quickly on the wing, rising high. It fell before a grand shot, Shaw's succeeding shot was to & strong pigeon, which he grassed well, and the Captain Secured a nice kill. Shaw’s forty-fifth round was a miss upon astrong bird, which got clear off. The Captain’s Was a good kill. The forty-sixth round opened with @ kill to Shaw from a fair bird. The Captain now went forward, and, after the usual interval, called “Pull,” ae. & the astonishment of the company, it appeared THE BIRD IN THE TRAP WAS DEAD. The Manchoster men made an objection that the Captain had raised his gun before the bird rose, The American appealed to Mr. Smith, who said, amid cheers, ‘“‘that the Captain should shoot at a new bird, and that if hye foe! 4 of the kind was tried again he should give him the match.” Astrong opinion was expressed upon this piece of very apparent chicanery on the part of the Manchester man. The Captain alti- mately killed a good strong bird. A kill to each was scored in the forty-seventh round, and in the forty- eighth Shaw killed‘ fair pigeon, while Bogardus immo- Jated a high-flying bird that was well on the wing. An offer by a gentleman present of £600 To £400 ON THR CAPTAIN was not responded to. Shaw had a taller for his forty- ninth, which he killed in good style; the Captain also secured @ capital kill, the bird rising rapidly and strongly. Shaw's fiftieth was a strong black rock that did not wait on the wing long, a miss being scored. Tho Captain’s fiftieth was a “good ’un,” which soon fell be- fore the gun. The score now was:— BoGARDUS 46 OUT OF 50 AND sHAW 34 OUT oP 50. After an interval of half an hour for luncheon the shooting was recommenced by Shaw, who missed a tailer, Sone Captain had a good bird, which he immedi- ately grassed in good style. Shaw secured his next bird without much ditliculty—a strong flying tailer. Tho Captain’s fifty-second—a nasty tailer—managed to make its escape. Shgw’s next round was well on the wing, but he killed in good style. The — Captain's, which was a good — pigeon, got away in a straight direction and the shooter was late with the gun. Shaw’s next shot failed to add to his total, and Bogardus’, a weak bird, was an easy kill. Shaw followed with a strong-winged bird which ricked, but was exceedingly well killed by the shooter. Tho Captain had a well-trained black rock, which dipped to his aim and got off scot free. The next bird shot right out of the trap and was killed when well on the wing b the Manchester champion, The Captain's tifty-sixti was @ good bird—a low-tlyer—which was killed in tine style. Round fifty-seven commenced with a clever kill from Shaw and closed with an equally agile kill from the American, both birds giving their back- ers a od chance, Shaw’s «next was a swift tailer, who half way from the boundary was grassed by a well-aimed shot, the Captain made quick work of his a low tailer. A faint cheer was now raised by the northern contingent for their man, who demolished a very good bird, and there were further offers to lay on Bogardus as he secured a kill in his best style in the fifty-ninth round. In the sixtieth round both men grassed. The score now stood BoGaRDUS, 53 OUT OF 60; SHAW, 42 OUT oF 60. Shaw’s next round went down well, and the Captain's total was increased by one, witha capital kilt from a bird that was strong on the wing. The Manchester man, in the following round, had a good taller, but this shot was surpassed by the Captain’s, which secured forhim akill froma strong black rock. Shaw’s next was a good kill, and the bird which it was the Ameri- can’s lot to have received its coup de grave very quickly. Again both competitors added a bird to their scores, and in the sixty-fifth round Shaw killed a slow bi while Bogardus failed to get properly at a tailer. > Shaw, who was shooting véry steadily, now increased his sora with a good shot, as did also the Captain; and the sixty- venth round brought about a like result, both men adding to their totals. The succeeding round still saw Shaw ten behind, and the figures remained unaltered in the sixty-ninth round,each man getting strong birds, ‘The next saw no alteration in the score and the seven- tieth round ended thus:— BOGARDUS, 62 OUT OF 70; SHAW, 52 OUT OF 70. Shaw commenced the next round with a good rock, which proved too much for him, and the Captain's bird, although a good one, fell an easy prey to his gun. In the succeeding round these positions were reversed, Shaw scoring a good bird and the Captain failing to add to hiS score with one that got strong on the win; Again Shaw failed to score with a capital pigeon, while Bogardus (who was now taking things easy) made a good ‘kill with a low flyer. The nextround made vo differ- ence in the total, both men scoring kills; nor did that which followed. The seventy-sixth round saw Shaw eloven behind his opponent, and up to the eighticth round this deficit was uot made up, the score being BOGARDUS, 71 ouT oF 80; sHAw, 60 ovr oF From this point the match was virtually over. Bogardus went on in the easiest manner possible until he had killed TT wmps ovr oP 89, when Shaw, whose score was 65 out of 89, retired, Thos ended a match the result of which could never be said to be in doubt. It was bh cha blow to the Manchester men, who occasionally exhibited their ill humor in any but a gentiemanly way. Itmay be remarked, in con- clusion, that Shaw’s score, 65 kills out of 89, bas not yet been surpassed in England, so that the siperiority of the Captain’s skill over anything to be found in the country is very apparent, Bogardus, to decide som bets that he would not kill 80 out of 100, went on and killed three birds in succession, thus bs GRaSsING 80 BIRDS or 92. He shot with his double-barrelled (Scott & Son) gun, while the Manchester man used a sing! relied muzzle- loader. Bogardus shoots in a sweepstakes on Wednes- day and on Saturday meets Mr. Rimell to decide the championship of the world. TRE SCORES.
