Galway opened the daylight around the upper turn, and at the quarter | », pole was six lengths ahead of Carver, Kgypt third, | Burgoo fourth, Shylock fifth, the latter seemingly not | having the speed that he possessed on Thursday last, | when he beat Countess.

The closing event of the day and the mecting was a handicap steeplechase fer a purse of $800, of which $200 was to be given to the second horse; entrance free; three or more horses, the property of different owners, to start; the distance about two miles and a half, The following were the starters:—Ayres & Sutliffe's bay gelding Diavolo, by Jonesboro, dam Ninette, 5 years old, carrying 1¢4 Ibs ; Charles Reed’s chestnut gelding Trouble, by Ulverston, dam Kate McDonald, § years old, 160'Ibs. ; George Longstaff’s bay horse Coronet, by Jonesboro, dam Garland, § years old, 144 Ibs. ; and L. A. Hitchcock's chestnut ily Busy see, by War Dance, dam Laura Spillman, 4 years old, 117 Ibs. Diavolo, Trouble and Coronet were strong favorites, the betting at times being nearly even. Trouble won the race, Di- avolo having bolted as soon as tho, flag fell and Coronet having got into a ditch the next to the last jump, losing considerably by the mishap, The following was the pool sales immediately preceding the start:— THY BETTING. 305 ‘880 520 560 370 410 655 650 400 400 650 600 100 90 105 215 paid $13 50, ‘THE RACE, Diayolo had the lead when the flag fell, the horses bein, started from the toot of the bluff of the club house, an instead of going on down the fractional track, he bolted up the regular course toward the quarter pole. By the time he was turned around and brought back to the fractional track his chances were entirely out, as the other horses were nearly a furlong in front of him. Coronet took the lead after Diavolo ran wrong, and was first over the hurdie behind the judges! stand, tusy Bee second, Trouble close up. The horses ran to the end of the fractional track, and then Jumped over a fence into the north field, Busy Bee showing the way, two lengths in front of Coronet, who was two len; in advance of Trouble. The horses ran around the field, jumping two brush fences, and then came out and wen| over the hurdle at the foot of the bluff, near the start- mg place, Busy Bec leading two lengths, Coronet sec- ond, a length in front of Trouble. The borses then ran into the south field where they jumped a brush fen and then circled around it, going over two ditches, an further on jumped a brush fence at the furlong polo, having at this time their heads toward the grand stand. They then came on to the water jump in front of the stand. At this time Busy Bee was six lengths in front, Coronet second, two lengths ahead of Trouble. All the jumps so far had been made very prettily, and gave great delight to the spectatora, e horses then dashed down the shute between the fractional and regular tracks, Jumping a hurdle on the way, and then came ont and crossed the track into the road leading to the picnic grounds; they jumped a ditch and then ran up the hill among ‘the trees. At the top of the hill the | horses were very close together and they Jampet the ight be- stone wail on the apex of the hill without day! pa tween them, Busy Bee Coronet second, Trouble third. In coming down the horses hesitated, and when | they landed at the foot of the hill Busy Bee bolted uy) iP the regular track instead of meg inte the north field, and the race was now left ronet and Trouble to decide, Coronet was first over the stone wall im tho middle of the north field; bat before they reached the hurdle under the bluff Trouble had the lead by two lengths, which advantage be carried into the south flold. ‘The racing was now at {ts height between these two fine horses, but Trouble showed a little the most speed. He led three lengths over the brush fence, and then circling around the field he jumped the first ditch three lengths in front, and had still that advantage when Coronet had the misfortune to make a blunder at the second ditch, which hada brush fence before it, He | cleared the fence, but went into the ditch with his hind legs. This stopped him for a few moments, and when he begau running again Trouble had so much the advan- tage that his chances seomed to be gone. Trouble went out of the field, near the three-quarter pole, with about eight lengths the best of it, and keeping up a good rate of speed was four lengths ahead as he over the last hurdle, which was stationed opposite the lower end of the grand stand, Comin; joine from there Little, the jockey, began to pull Trouble up, and just then Coronet came with a rush and very nearly overtook Trouble. It required ali the skill that Little was 1d of to et the horse in motion -and win the race, which e did, bya ae in 4:36}¢. When Busy Bee bolted she unhorsed McGinness, and_ it was some time before he canght the filly and mou her again. This he di jowever, and the half amile behin ‘rrouble and Coronet. Diavolo tan'as far as where Busy Boe bolted, and then Sutliffe him up and walked to the stand. The backers D do not like the way they were beaten oulof thelr money, and some queer remarks were made In the cars coming from the | races about both horse and rider.

GARNER’S AND GAPTAIN WINTERS’ ACCOUNT OP THE COLLISION, A collision occurred between the schooner yacht Mohawk and the steamer John Gibson a little below the Narrows on Saturday night, resulting in consider- able damage to both vessels’ The yacht was coming up toward Staten Istand while the steamer was on her way to Georgetown, having left her pier, foot of Pike street, about an hour and a half before the collision, MA GARNER’S BTORY. The story of the accident, as told by the owner of the Mohawk, Mr. Garner, varies considerably from that given by the officers of the John Gibson, The Mohawk had been down on ashort sail to the Horseshoe, and among those on board, when the collision occurred, were Mr, Frank Osgood, Mr. Barry, Commodore Garner, Mr, Pendleton and others. The Mohawk had been accompanied down to the Hook by the yacht Estelle, and Captain Comstock, the sailing master of the Mohawk, was below lying down when the steamer ran across the bows of his boat. The acctdent occurred between six and seven o’clock on Saturday evening, when the yacht was about to enter the Nar- rows, Tho Mohawk was steering fair for the middle ground of tho Narrows, and quite a gale was blowing, the yacht then travelling at the rate of eight knots an hour. ‘The steamer was coming out of tho Narrows in on the Long Island shore, nearly abreast of Fort Lafay- cette, The Mohawk had her mainsail and two jibs up and was without any foresail, the sheets started casily, the mainsheet all out, heading up toward the Narrows. The yacht bad her course fair from the steamer, 6 Mr. Garner states, and the steamer was first seen near Fort Lafayotte coming out by those on board of the Mohawk, including Mr. Osgood and Mr. Barry, who were standing at the bow, the teamer showing A green light first. Tho Mohawk kept straight on her course, the steamer was next sean heading across the Mohawk’s bow to leeward, and within a very short distance of the yacht. The crew of the Mohawk shonted from the watch forward that a steamer was bearing down on the yacht, and within less than a minute's time the bow of the steamer shot across the bow of the Mohawk, the yacht going at such b the e at the time that it was evident steamer could not clear steamer, and thus the force of the collision drove the John Gibson to windward. After the collision the vessels separated, and the Mohawk carried away with her as atrophy a carriage wheel. The bowsprit, Jibboom, head gear and all the fore tron work of the Mohawk were carried & R Le bn about ap nip Lee & week's de- y in repairing will be necessary at the shortest to pre- pare her for work. The masts were saved from going | overboard by the aid of afore stay, that had been put in the day before on the Mohawk. The yacht drified after the | collision rapidly in the direction of the Long Island shore. The head rigging of the yacht having been cleared away by the crew, she was enabled to drop anchor in time to prevent her going ashore, after | | which she was towed to North Seventh street, Williams- burg, by towboat, where she now lies with’ the work- men hammering away at her wounds, Mr. Garner does | hot express any opinion against the people on board of | the steamer, bat thinks that they took the Mohawk for acoasting schooner and therefore did not calculate for = rot ReRisie CAPTAIN'S STORY. The story told by the captain of the steamer, W. H. Winters, throws all the blame on the yacht. He states that bis vessel, which belongs to the Georgetown, Alexandria and Washington Steamship Company's hne, started from pier 41 East River at half-past five P.M. on Saturday, for Georgetown, D. C. At ten minutes to seven the vesse! wag about three quarters of a mile below the Narrows, when a schooner was sighted héad- ing northward, showing both her Nghts The schooner was coming up with a wind, which was at the time blowing from the When the approaching schooner was first noticed the steamer’s helm was ported, and the | Ted light of the schooner was more fully brought to the view of those on board the steamer, 1+ being intended that the steamer’s red light should also be more fully shown to those on the schooner. When the approach- ing vessel was abreast of the steamer’s fore rigging she hauled up on the wind, puiting her wheel bard to star- board, and ran into the steamer about midships. The steamer wus going due south. When the schooner was seen hauling up to the wind one blast of the whistle | was blown, and the steamers wheel was put hard aport and so kept until she was struck. Captain Win tors was standing in the pilot house at tha time ef the | collision. The steamer was cut down on the port sido | amidships, within four ¢ of the water's ; four or five of tho frames ® carried away, a8 woll as foxgecn feet of the deck house; the steerga* gear was all smashed and the captain baried wetuins About sixty fees of the railing, noting and bulwarks were also swept away, “It all oceurred in a few seconds,’’ said the captain, “and when I got out of the rubbish the schooner was out of sight." The dam. age to the steamer is estimated at about $2,000. Those on board the steamer did not know what struck her until next day, when a portion of the figurehead of the colliding yacht was found on the deck and recognized by Captain Winters as belonging to the Mohawk. After | x tackles were put Op the steamer’s heim, and she put back to Staten Island, whence | she returned to her dock about imidnight | Her cargo, which now shows through or side, where the outside planking has been driven in upward of @ foot, consisted of assorted mer- chandise.

SOME STRANGE AND MYSTERIOUS DEVELOP MENTS AS TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND THE MIDRAIL ELEVATED KoAp. When the Commissioners of Rapid Transit Oually adopted their specifications as to plans, which were illustrated exclusively in the Heraup two days before they made their official report to the Mayor, they ad- Journed until twelve o'clock M. yesterday. It was un- derstood by all the Commissioners that yesterday's session would be devoted tothe consideration of afti+ cles of association for the new company to be organ- ized by them, under the title of the “Manhattan Rail- way Company.” The Commissioners, in conversation with the reporters of the HeRaup, have time and again explained that this company is to be organized with the more direct view ‘of making rapid transit a certainty should the New York Elevated and the Gilbert Elevated Railway Companies (which are bonded in $250,000 each) fail to construct their different roadways in the time specified, either as separate com- panies or together. In the !nterregnum defeated par- ties have been actively at work tn the interests of their particular schemes, and have, to some extent, suc- ceeded in directing nowspaper attention to their plans, which, though they embody many meritorious features, the engineers of the Rapid Transit Commission have de- cided to be utterly inadequate to supply the quick transit demand. Among the most meritorious plans that met with tefeat is ‘THE MIDRAML ELEVATED RAILROAD. It is in operation in certain places in South America, and, as a cheap structure of the “saddle back” order, has had a partial success; yet practical engineers fail to Indorse it asa system’ which can at all meet the demands of the ctty of New York, The engineers of the commission considered the points of merit in this plan; yet, as the public know, failed to give ft an in- dorsement The announcement was made in the Hunanp of Saturday that General Roy Stone, repre- senting this road, had asked permission to erect 500 feet of the system of roadway on the carriageway ex- tending across the City Hall Park from Broad- way to Park place. and that Burton N. Harrison, rivate Secretary to the Mayor, gave it as his opinion that there was nothing in the specifications of the Rapid Transit Commis- sioners to prevent the companies building on this plan. Mr. Harrison further stated that it was indorsed by em- inent engineers. On Saturday he sent to the Park Com- mission the application of General St to erect a section of the road, but, as in the caso-of all other tm- Portant papers bearing on rapid transit, this gentleman iled to give ft to the representatives of tne press. Mr. Harrison had forgotten that every document of this character is public property, and consequently thought that the press could not get it withont the consent of Burton N. Harrison. But when application was made at the Department of Parks yesterday by a taxpayer the officials there at once gave the following CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN OPVICIALS, whieh reached the office onty yesterday, and which will not be acted upon until the meeting of the Park Com- mission to-morrow :— Orvice ov tus La France Manvvacrurinc Company, Evmina, N.

The now all-absorbing theme among ministers and Christian peoplo—the expected revival under the min- istry of Messrs. Moody and Sankey—was up for discus- sion yesterday in the Methodist Preachers’ Meeting. Dr. Robert Crooke read a carefully prepared paper on thesubject. He took for granted that everybody ex- pects a revival because it 1s prayed for in the churches, talked about in the pulpits, discussed in the public Press, and in other ways the evidence of this expecta- tion is manifested. The labors of Messrs. Moody and Sankey show us the necessity for such an awakening of the Christian Church today and tho plans and methods, so far as they can be shown, by which this awakening is to be brought about. Infidelity and scepticism have a firm foothold in society and are self-asserting everywhere. This he took to be an evidence that God would shortly pour out his Spirit upon his Church. Wo have the testimony of Bishop Butler, he said, that before the appearance of Luther, in the sixteenth century, infidelity and Romanism had beclouded and almost crushed out whatever there was of Protestantism or vital Christianity in Europa And the similarity of the present times suggests to us that we need and are soon to havea revi religion. The energetic efforts of Romanism to get control of our common schools and possession of our State govern- ments arge us to pray and labor for a revival of pure religion mf the churches, The history of the Is: Les iustrates that seasons of temporal adversity are usually followed by seasons of religious awakening and the rais- ing up of adeliverer, Special care should be given, the Doctor thought, to securing permanent reswits. ere: should be no undue excitement and no forcing of per- sons into the Church under such excitement. Ministers should not engage in revival work for the sake of no toriety, for dd makes simall account of men in his work. It is mot by might nor by power, but by M: Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts that this work can be accomplished. There are multitudes of unawakened persons ail around our churches. Look at the numbers {n this city of New York, many thousands, who have not been spoken to this year by any one on the subject of salvation. The Rev. W. McAhster made a confession for himself directly and for his brethren indirectly that neither he nor they had done their duty in the lines indicated by Dr. Crooke. He had not tried to do as much as he could for Christ and he believed it was pretty much so with them all. They wanted, he said, a little more prayer and closer preaching. Scientific and philosophical essays are good enough in their place, but they are not designed to save men and they can’t do it Christ mast be lifted up if men weuld be converted and theChurch be re- vived. Lf the ministers would do their whole duty they should soon see # revival in New York. The Rev. D. A. Goodsell, of Brooklyn, thought Brother McAlister’s remarks were too sweeping and hhis assertions too bold. Ho (ir. Goodsell) knew many ministers who aro doing trying to do their whole duty and trying toserve Christ with their whole hearte— men whose lives are entirely consecrated to God and His holy work. But their churches are surrounded with Romanists and rationalists, and infidels and Jows, whom it ig next to impossible to reach, and after they are reached and brought into the Church they are too ignorant to be able to live consistent Christian lives. fe intimated that many of them are so low in intel- ligence that object teaching atone can bring the truth to their hearts. Mr. McAlister responded that half the ministers are APRAID TO PREACH 4 TEMPRRANCH SERMON, because it would make them unpopular in their little charges. We want John Wesley to come here. Wo 6 expect too Uttle sermons on Sunday andare tired out. t to repeat the sume operation next Sabbath, and so this little round of duty completely \yzes us. Dr. Curry had seen the population of New York double and double again, and while he recognized the difficulties that had been indicated he did not think that, as ministers and churches, they should hide them- selves behind these things or try to shirk their indi- | vidual responsibility. Now York ts not as Protestant Teapo! to-day as it wae forty or fifty years Gs The majority of the population is non-Christian. ere never was & case of revival when there was not found examples of sceptics, infidels, Jews, &a., being converted to God. He aid not think Romanism, ignorance, intemperance, &c., good reagons for the decline or’ non-success of Methodism here. He saw more drunkenness in the city of Giasgow, Scotland, than in New York, and one third of the population of that city are Romanists of the lowest type. And yet there is no city on this Con- ‘tinent where the churches are doing so much for the evangelization of the masses. Dr. Kettell made a few remarks showing the want ot oapeay detwoen the Methodist churches of the city. ‘there are ly 10,000 unconverted persons ‘around all the churcbes on the east side, there 1s very little care for them. The official boards look after the interests of their own church, and don’t caro about theirmeighbor. And when commitsees are appointed tm quarterly conferences it is the merest farce to ask for or reports from them. This, be conten was nil eee: t is an injury to the Christian Chas and to Methodism. Revs. French and Lloyd spoke, and Dr. Hartzell, of New Orleans, addressed the meeting on Southern af- faira This topic will be continued next Monday. . FIRST UNION PRAYER MEETING, At Rev. James M. Ludlow’s church, Fifth avenue, corner Forty-eighth street, last night, was held the first of a series of union prayer meetings, which will be par- ticipated in by the pastors and members of the congre- gations of the surrounding churches of all denomina- tious.

ANNUAL 6ESSION—SYNODICAL SERMON—OR- GANIZATION. The Synod of Long Island, which comprises the presbyteries of Brooklyn, Nassan and Long Island, and the pastors of the several churches in these presby- teries, together with one elder from each, assembled in annual session last evening in Dr. French’s church in Clinton street and First place, South Brooklyn.
