RACING AT SARATOGA, Fifth Day of the Second Summer Meeting. MUDDY ROADS AND A HEAVY TRACK. pecuainnains A Fair Attendance on a Fine Day. -ietciapereonee FOUR INTERESTING RACES. Viator the Winner of the First Race, Warlock the Second. Nettie Norton the Third, and Clematis the Fourth. Sanatoca, August 19, 1875. ‘The fifth day of the Angust meeting passed off very enjoyably in presence of a large and fashionable con- course of spectators. The weather clerk is evidently favorably inclined to Saratoga sport, Yesterday it was ‘wet, drizzling, close; all day long a drenching shower descended to make people miserable and to confine them to the hotel piazzas. To-day, however, the ‘wouther clerk must have wanted to enjoy the jolly port, for he gave us a lovely blue sky, flocked with fang) tustic clouds, and improved the abominably muddy co: ‘dition of the track as much as he could in a single day. How glad every one was at the change! how delighted at ‘the prospect of sunshine and fair weather! The attend- aunce was somewhat diminished, however, as compared to ‘the vast crowds that had enjoyed the races on the pre- vious gays. Many people who do not go every day re- ferve their presence for the first and last day, so that a great crush may be expected on Saturday if the ther elerk should continue to smile on Saratoga, A CHAPTER ON MUD. Poor horses and jockeys! How smooth, how trim and trig, how bright and shining they looked as they Orst entered the arena, and how soiled and almost caked with mnd they were when they retired from it for the day. The whirling clouds of blinding dust in which the horses generally race are bad enough, bat what are they compared to the spatter and splashing of the liquid mud yesterday? The inter- Terence with the sport was not the only harm the mud flid, it must also be adjudged responsible for the many atrocious jokes for which it served as a poor apology. “[ believe theyare going to hold the regatta here ?”” “Yes, they'll be soon able to row nere comfortably,” and other scintillations of wit spluttered about aimost as badly as the mud itself. But the bright sun and the | ‘warm, clear air were something of a recompense for the @istracting sight of the mud pools in front of the grand wtand. Tt was distracting and let us hope that it shall Daye vanished by Saturday, A MARTIAL SCENE was offered sfter thé second race by the gigantic Mor- rissey gently leading another giant in stature out by the | arm. Giant No. 2 had made a disturbance, and giant No. 1, as he tersely stated the case, “put him out of the racecourse.” It is needless to add that giant No, 2 did mot attempt to fight giant No. 1, Ifhe had the specta- tors would certainly have got more than the worth of their money in witnessing a sparring exhibition in addi- tion to the races—only that it would bave been so very irief, THE RACING, The track was literally a qnagmire to-day when the races began, and anything like good time was out of the question. The strongest horse was considered the Dost, although it does not always follow that ‘the most powerful horses are best in the mud, Four races were on the card—the first a sweepstakes for three-year-olds, one mile and a half; the second, a free )andicap for two-year-olds, one mile; the third, a free handicap for all ages, one mile anda half; and the fourth, selling sweepstakes for two-year-olds, The races gave general satisfaction, being well contested throughout, The first race, the sweepstakes for three-year-olds, had only three starters out of the twenty-two original nomi- nations, These were E. A, Clabaugh’s chestnut colt ‘Yiator, by Vauxhall, dam Heatherbell; ‘Thomas Pur- yéar & Co.’s bay colt Warwick, by Leamington, dam Minnie Minor, and A. B. Lewis & Co.’s chestnut filly Vinaigrette, by Vandal, dam Liza Dayis, 107 Ibs. Viator had a penalty of five pounds extra on his back for ‘Manning the Sequel §takes, which was the only race he “G¥ér woh previous to the present one. He beat General Harney on the last occasion in gallant style on a very heavy track in capital time, the two miles being run in 8:43. Viator made his first appearance this year at Balti- more in the Preakness Stakes, when he was second to Tom Ochiltree, but was in front of Bay Final, Risk, Elm- wood, Consignee, Australind, Ad and Vagabond. Hi next ‘appearance was in the Jersey Derby Stakes at Monmouth Park, where he won a place. He is a finely formed colt and has all the points of a racchorse, Warwick has run four times, his rst Sppearpice being in the Withers Stakes at Jerome Park, ®hén he came in behind Aristides, Rhadamanthus, Ozark and Chesa- peake, His next'race was for the Belmont Stakes, and this time there were seven in front of him in the finish, Warwick was next seen at Monmouth Park running for the Jersey Derby Stakes; but in this race ho was knocked down by General Harney and badly cut in one pf the pastern joints, He recovered sufficiently from his injury, however, to appear in the Kenner Stakes during the present meeting and came in third to the dead heat of Ozark and Milner, after showing the way for @ mile and seven-eighths. Viator was a great favor- fle in the pools at nearly two to one previous | w the start, the former being considered the best “mud | horse” of the two, as he ran a trial yesterday of a mile jn 1:45. The race was well contested throughout, Viator ‘proving the victor by three lengths in a gamely run contest Warwick was second, Vinaigretto a good third. The time was very fair under the circumstances, ‘The second event was a dash of a mile for two-veat- olds, a free handicap, five accepting the weights.

Every one of these youngsters have appeared in public before to-cay—Blue | oat in the Saratoga Stakes at this place, in which race he was sixth, being beaten by Parole, Adelaide, Sultana, Brotber to Bassett and Athlene. He is a tine looking colt, and ran well to-day, Durango never showed vo much advantage before, his runs being merely as # companion for Parole before and at the start in each | race, as he was never within hailing distance in any part of the race afterward, Warlock has run three times before, the first time at Jerome Park in the Juvenile Stakes, where he secured a place, being beaten by Faith- Jess and Freebooter. There were nine bebind him, comprising Clematis, Favordale, Lillie __Beile, MeDaniel’s Nubia filly, Mollie Carew, Larna Dooue, Waco, Pastor and Bryon. He ran in the Flash Stakes at this place, and tumbled over Lady Clipper when she fell at the turn into the homestretch, and he ran again im the sweepstakes for two-year-olds, when he came in fifth. Warlock is a finely proportioned coif, and there seems to be plenty of run in him. He is rather head- strong at times, and occasionally shows temper, He was kept away from the crowd to-day until the horses were ready for a start, when he came with a rush, took | the lead and kept it’ to the end, winning easily. Mr. Belmont’s Patience is a beautiful little creature with a fine turn of speed, but she has not the power to get | through such a track as was her lot to run over to-day. Bhe was beaten at Jerome Park in the purse for two- year-olds, half a mile, by McDaniel’s Leamington filly and Tigress, which was ber only appearance before the present. ‘The ground was so heavy for her that she gave way at the half-mile pole and tame in last. Leatherstocking has only run once, vefore, which was in the Flash Stakes, when he was nol placed’ He did not do anything on this occasion to make him many wdmirers, as he ran very poorly throughout, coming in fourth. This is, however, a well formed colt, and his being beaten on a bad track as a two year-old Is no reason tbat he will not be a race horse | when he grows older, The third race was a free handicap for all ages, one | mile and a half, For this there were six starters, com- prising A.

They,ran up the homestreteh nearly parallel, but as they passed under the wire there was about haifa length separating them, Viator first, Warwick second, Vinaigrette third. The half mile was run in 523g seconds, Going around the upper turn the horses separated and there was two lengths between them as they passed the three-quarter pole, Viator opened a sap of four lengths on Warwick ‘on the backstretch, the latter falling back to Vinaigrette, At the, half-mile pole Viator. led four lengths, the other two running head and head, After leaving’ this point Warwick and Vinaigrette put on steam and they closed rapidly on Viator, and as they swung into the homestretch they were nearly on even terms th him, Swim, on Viator, had taken a pull on him and kept the colt within himself and galloped alongside of the others until about 100 yards from home, when he cut loose and came away from them, winning’ the race by three lengths; Warwick second, half a length in frontof Vinaigrette, The time of the mile and a half was 2:48, which was good running, ‘consMering the condition of the course, ‘The value of the stake to the winner was $1,950.

Fractions of several regiments belonging to the Eleventh brigade (Brooklyn), Second Division, N.G.- S.N.Y., went out to Creedmoor yesterday morning for ball practice, ‘The regiments represented were the Twenty-third, Thirty-second and Forty-seventh infantry. The distances shot from were 100, 150, 300 and 400 yards. The weather was pleasant and cool during the day, with a breezy south wind blowing up the ranges in a direction coincident to the line of fire. THE TWENTY-THIRD REGIMENT, The Twenty-third regiment turned out fifty-seven of- ficers and men from B and G companies, Captain C, E. Truslow commanded, and Lieutenant Colling acted a8 inspector of rifle practice, Twenty-six men were sent to the last two ranges. SCORES OF THE TWENTY-TMIRD REGIMENT, TS = 300 |3) 400 |s Names.

The committee on the reception of the rifle team met yesterday afternoca at the rooms of the National Rifle Association, The Finance Committee report that they have received the following subscriptions in addition to those reported previously:—Thomas Barber, $100; Major D. D. Wylie, $50; Amasa A. Redficid, $20; H. B. Hyde, $10, making the total subscribed $1,126. The committee find themselves greatly embarrassed | from the fact that not more than one in five of the gen- | tlemen they have called upon is in town, which is the reason Why they have not been more successful. ‘The subscription list for the Stock Exchange is in the hands of William McClure, that of the Produce Exchange in those of Edward Annan and that of the Cotton Exchange in those of Edward RK. Powers, The committee have not becn able yet to see those gentiemen to ascertain what amounts they have obtained, It was suggested that some effort be made on the varions exchanges, and several plans were spoken of by which money conld be raised. Some divenesion ensued as to the details of the reception. Carriages will be in waiting at the Battery on the return of the boat with the team on board. :1t was thought ad- visable, if the City of Berlin should come up after ten clock at night, to putoff the disembarking until the Sate “The actual programme of arrangements will not be réady Tatil a4 + ‘At this point @ delegavie ‘epty-second regiment, headed by Colonel Porter, Lich ees Camp and Major McGrath, entered the room. 1¢] Porter said:—-‘I and some of my brother officers hav come here to-dayfor the purpose of disclaiming the re- porte which have gone around of a misunderstanding which was stated to exist between the Committee of Reception of the National Rifle Association and Amateur Rifle Club ‘and the Twenty-second regi- ment The statement that such a report was in circula- tion overwhelmed me with astonishment, because we had endeavored to act in the most graceful manner toward ali concerned. Our idea was that, after the acceptance of our invitation by telegraph to’ the team, we should receive the team and accompany them to the armory, where a reception should take place, But when we found that our programme conflicted with yours, 60 far from any ill feeling in the matter, we hever entertained any idea of opposing your reception. We did not know of your arrangements and there has been a misunderstanding, which is most unfortunate,” General Shaler eaid he had never heard expressed any ill feeling in the matter, and the only feeling he had bad was one of surprise that the Twenty-second regi- ment had not tendered their co-operation, In fact, it bas been incomprehensible to him, Colonel Porter said there was nothing strange in it, ‘The Twenty-second had abandoned its programme, and that was all it could be expected to do. It was now too jato to call the officers and men together again, and he did not know how the regiment could co-operate, It was represented by Mr. Johnson that it would cause a good deal of comment if a regiment so promi- nent as the Twenty-second should not join in the re- coption, after all the talk that had taken place. ‘The delegation of the Twenty-second consulted together for some tune, After coming back the following reso- lution were agreed to:— Resolved, That this committee desire té express to the ‘Twenty-second regiment their regret at learning that some misunderstanding has existed regarding the plans for the coming reception of the returning American rifle tcam, and to express their satisfaction to Colonel Porter for the wish expressed through him to co-operate with the joint committee, Resolved, That the association extend a cordial invi- tation to the Twenty-second regiment to participate in the reception of the team on Monday next, ALDERMANIC ACTION, In the Board of Aldermen yesterday Alderman Seery offered the following, which were unanimously adopted :— Whereas, in view of the renown reflected 0) mi our conntry if the team of representatives of the American peo~ ots wt Dollyraount, Wimbledon and elve- ently proper that the Common Ci if Id, on behalf of the people, c demonstrations of commendation a tended to them apon their arrival, now daily expected; be it therefore Resolved, That the special committes of this Boart ap- pointed at the meeting of May 24, 1875, consisting of Messrs.

The Third Annual Meeting of Amateur Oarsmen on Saratoga Lake. A GLANCE AP THE PROBABLE CONTESTANTS, The Races and the Prizes To Be Rowed For. i THE TURNING COURSE A MISTAKE. The prominent subject of conversation now among amateur oarsmen is the approaching regatta on Saratoga Lake, and the regatta of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen on the Laureate Course at Troy, which follows shortly afterward, The one is an interna- tional affair and the other @ national meeting, and both are looked forward to with considerable anxicty throughout the country, Both meetings are in the third year of their existence and are increasing in pop- ularity, First im order comes the Grand International Regatta on Saratoga Lake, In the two preceding years Canada sent representatives, and thus in reality, as well as in name, the regatta was truly international. This year the days announced for the racing are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the 24th, 25th and 26th of the Present month, @ vast improvement in tho selection of time from that of last year, The races are open to the members of all regularly organized amateur rowing clubs in the United States and the British Provinces, and are free, but an entrance fee of $20 for each boat is required at the time of entering, and must be paid to the treasurer as an evidence of good faith, This money will be returned if the boat entered rows in the race. All entries must be made on or before the 20th inst, As | none but amateurs will be allowed to row in the races | announced, it would be well if those who are managing the Saratoga regatta would observe the rule regarding | the definition of an amateur laid down by the National | Association of Amateur Oarsmen and not only observe but also pay strict heed to the date of its enforcement, The rule specifying or defining what an amateur is has been in force since the 6th of October, 1878, In the Saratoga Tuling this year the date is altered to the Ist of May, 1874. There is nothing gained by ‘the alteration and it Would be far better if both regattas—the Saratoga and Troy—were subject, as nearly as poxetble, to the same conditions, STRAIGHTAWAY VS. TURNING RACES, Following the practice of last season the Saratoga | Rowing Association has decided to have all races this { year rowed with a turn—that is, starting from a cer- tain point, and, after rounding a stake boat, returning | to the point from which the start was made, As a rule, turning races are not popular with oarsmen, The uni- ity men have discarded them and have substi- tuted the straightaway course instead, So have most of the rowing organizations throughout the | country, and at present straightaway races are the rule and not the exception, The Saratoga course should by all means be a straight one, Last winter the course was surveyed on the ice, and in the spring the famous lanes, which the Heratn was first to advocate, and which have proved so effective, were marked out and buoyed, These lanes, now in existence, should be brought into requisition, and the amateur regatta ought to be rowed through them. Apart from the popularity of the straight course, together with its many advan- tages over the turning, some comparison could be ar- rived at as to the relative superiority of university over amateur crews. It is to be hoped that the straight course will be substituted, THE FIRST DAY. On the first day the single scull shells, for the cham- pionship of the State of New York and the junior single scull championship will be rowed. These races will be, unless altered, one mile and return, making in all two miles to be rowed. The prizes for the State champion- ship will be the “Empire Diamond Sculls,” which entitles the winner to hold them for one year, and a presentation cup, which becomes his personal property; and for the junior sculls, a handsome gold medal. Last year there were six en- tries for the State championship, and in all probability there will be quite as many this year. Among those likely to start will be R. D. Bainbridge, the winner of the Harlem ‘Diamond Sculls.” Bainbridgo, it will be remembered, had for competitors lag spring on the Harlem some of the best scullers in the country, among them W. B. Curtis, of Chicago; F. E. Yates, the great Western sculler, and Wilbur Bacon, of the New York Rowing Club, and beat them all handsomely. He will prove a dangerous antagonist on Saratoga water. Charles E. Courtney will also row; but Courtney has been suffering much through the spring and summer, and may not be in good condition, David Roach, who ‘won second place last fear for this same race, will also enter this year. Roachjis in better trim than’ ever be- fore in his life, and will make whoever wins work hard for victory. Albany may have one of her Wilsons, and it is not yet settled whether Curtis and Yates will come on from the West to row for the New York Athletic Club. Rathbone, who is a~ ‘sculler, ought to enter, and so should Wilbur Bacon, Tom Keator, Rudolph Shaick, two or three of the Nassaus and many other prominent Harlem scullers might all be mentioned. The junior,single seull race, which will be rowed on the saine day, will prove very interesting, For this contest Albany will likely be very strongly represented. Girvin. a sculler of the and Roache build, will be on hand, So, the chances are, will Lathrop.’ If Hardy comes on from the Chesapeake, whoever will be in the race will have no row over. Robinson, of Union Springs, may row, but as he will have to row in the double ecullrace he may not wish to work himself, Ackerman, of the Atlantic, of Hoboken, made a good race last year, and may try to better it this. Costar, of the Neptunes, and Leifman, of the same club, might putin an appearance. Schneider, of the Friendship, might do worse than try the lake. There area number of young scullers who might make their maiden effort in this race, and swell the entries to a greater number than that of last year, From present indications the first day’s racing will be spirited. ‘THE SECOND DAY it Be devoted to the senior single sculls and pair-oared ie li The President’s Cup, a challenge prize, entitling | re winne? ip jis poss ion for one Choa’ and a hand- ome presentatit eda, to Regome the personal prop- erty of the victor, are th® prizes for the seniors race; and the Interlaken Cap, also a challenge priae, subject | to the same conditions, and two resentatiag . ie | will be the awards for victory for the "pairs. early is hand on | 3 cal honr, and the advantage of having good water is ery thing, Let the races, by «il means, be rowed early, THE ARRIVALS AT THE LAKE. Sanrtoca, August 18, 187% ‘The managers of the Saratoga Association, with Mr. Ames, the President, at their head, are determined to leave nothing undone in order to contribute their portion toward making the coming regatta a brilliant success, and giving unalloyed satisfac. | Hon tothe erews as well as to the public. The boat houses and floating docks are in admirable order and substantially just as they were left after the great cok lege regatta, and the roads leading to and from the grand stand bave been put in excellent condition to ag- commodate the vast traffic of vehidles, The buoys bhava been put in proper position, The start and finish will be, as heretofore, at Ramedil Point, The grand stand and the delightful park, from which the view is almoa6 equally clear and bewutiful, are also in unexceptionable condition, AN INTERESTING, NOVEL FEATURE, An extremely interesting and unique feature which’ will add much to the attractiveness of the races is that the Beaverwyck Club, of Albany, will row in a six-oaredl boat over the college course and endeavor to surpas® the time made by the victorious Cornell this year. Thi: unique race, it is claimed, will at last settle’ for a tim the much disputed question whether our collegiates o! amateurs are the best oarsmen, ‘The official prgrammd does not include this feature, which appears to hav been a most happy afterthought. This race against timd will come off after the last day’s programme has beet 4 finished, It is expected that many college oarsinen wi come to attend the regatta, especially for the purpose o witnessing this decisive test of amateur skill and prow- ess, or, as the amateurs say here, their own defeat. The result Will cortainly excite intense sensation in rowing circles if it should turn out to be a victory for the ama- teurs, TRAINING ON LAK® SARATOGA, Quite a number of the competitors have already arrived in Saratoga and have been in active training during the past week, The Neptunes, Mutuals and the Argonautas wore these that arrived first, and they all have gone tooth and nail at their tough work. Tho Beaverwycks arrived on Monday, and were received with great enthusiasm by their Saratoga hosts. The Atalantas are also here, Besides a num- ber of single scullers are here working vigor- ously to secure a_ victory, The headquarter of the Neptunes are at J. Arnold’s, below Shake Hill; of the Mutuals, at Ramsdill 'Point, and ot the Argonautas, at Moon’s Lake House, Mr. David Roach, of the Waverleys, is quartered at Ingram’s, at the old domicile of Columbia, All these men may be seen every morning and evening, for a couple of hours, rowing on Lake Saratoga. They complain rather bit= terly of the miserable weather and the never-ceasin; rainfalls, which have considerably interfered wit their work, but all are sanguine of success, WEIGHT OF TWO CREWS.

COMMENTS ON THE CREWS, Much comment and speculation are, of course, in~ dulged in with regard to the strength of the various crews and the probable results. The Neptunes are con- sidered astrong crew, from having King, one of the Cornells, Ostrom, also of the famous Cornells, belongs. to the Neptunes, but was prevented from participating. ; The Atalantas are considered to derive formidable’ power from Eustis and Gunster, more especially ag Downs and Rogers belonged to the Wesleyan crew. i crew is generally admitted to be the finest physi- cally, Eustis himself heing a perfect Hercules. The Beaverwycks, who are flushed with their past suc- cesses, made only one change in their crew, William Wilson “being succeeded by Doncaster. These appear Just now to be the favorites with the public. The con- test will be strongest between the New York clubs, who will not only try to secure the.victory over the others, but probably endeavor to wres€ it from each other. & very exciting and interesting contest may be expected. Tho attendance, from present mdications, will be per- fectly immense, as Saratoga hag scarcely ever been moro crowded than it is now, BOATING NOTES. The Argonautas, of Bergen Point, are fixed in the “Moon on the Lake.”? . The Atalanta’s University four are out for practice every day on Saratoga Lake, Courtney has also arrived there, and takes his daily spin over the rippling waters, ‘The Beaverwyck crew has made one change since last year. The new man is ‘“‘a good ’un,”? If an English professional crew come here next yeat the Ward brothers will again take to the water. The Athletics, it Is said, have challenged the Atalan- tas and Argonautas. Look out, Beaverwycks; you may be next. The Mutnal crew, of Albany, row well—well enough, perhaps, to win, and very likely to lose. Dick Bainbridge will ake a tremendons effort for the State championship, and he is in good condition to do it The Union and Herald crews practice vory faithfully for their approaching four-oared gig race. The Athletic four will not row at the National Regatta at Troy after the Saratoga races. The third annual regatta of the National Association will be held on the Laureate course, Troy, on the 3ist inst, and September 1. : The Nassaus have formed another four. How long will this one continue in existence ? Some of the Harlem oarsmen amuse themeelves a skirmishing about on the river on planks. They say it is easier work than rowing and twice as funny. Clelland, one of the Dauntless crew, is summering In Cornwall and practising for the fall campaign. Morris and Coulter will row for the championship of the United States at Pittsburg on the 11th of September, NEW YORK YACHT SQUADRON. CLOSE OF THE CRUISE OF 1875—DISBANDMENT OF THE FLEET —DESTINATION OF THE YACHTS-— ARRIVAL OF THE UNITED STATES STEAMER POWHATAN. Roach, o: Newronrr, R. 1, August 19, 1875, The cruise of 1875 came to an end to-day, and but one opinion is entertained of its success, the utmost har- mony and good feeling having prevailed from the start, though, perhaps, the fleet was not so extensive ag was originally intended. The vessels had altogether fine opportunities for the display of their capacities, The stay at this fashionable resort has been marked by considerable pleasure and excitement, and although the club declined to sail for the subscription cup offered by some of the citizens, there is no doubt that if a suitable prizo should be presented by the Corporation next year the owners of vessels would assuredly appre- ciate this act of official courtesy and join in a regatta, The advent of the squadron to Newport is advantageous aud tends to enliven matters generally. | This, was shown in the blak appearance which the harbor pre- sented to-day, DISRANDING THE PLERT, A mecting was held on board the flagehip ged when Commodore Kingsland formally disbanded fleet and took occasion to congratulate the flag officers and captains upon the harmony and unanimity of senti- ich had marked the cruise, and to all of the contestants for the championship of the State : iy manner in nih tee. ae of New York will be in this race, Victor as well as de- | f’rontad his. aiforte, The Natng ae" chaos feated will “try again.” In the pair-oared race it is | was goon heard after tho formal notification of diffloult to say who will take part.

Brown and Walker, of the Nassaus, would “make it hot” for the best of them if they were prepared to go. Ellison and Bacon, of the New York Rowing Club, would also make warm work for whoever was entered. Al. Curtis and McCready made so good a race On the Harlem, in the spring, that they too might risk a venture on the lake, and there are several pairs in Philadelphia, the home of prizes, which might try Schuylkill science on the still waters of Lake Saratoga.

The Beaverwycks this year will not row James Wilson, but Doncaster, a man equally good, wilb | take his seat in the boat, The crew are rowing splen- didly. So are the Mutuals, of Albany, who not only ex- pect a good place, but are determined to make whoever wins row hard, The Argonauias will row the same crow they rowed last year, Walte his old place in the boat. a did four—all big men, university fellows—with John Eustis as stroke and Gunster, the Wilhams stroke, be- bind him. That they will work hard to win there 1s no doubt; bat whether their work will bring them victery or not is another question.
