FIRST DAY OF THE EPSOM SPRING MEETING— THUNDER WINS THE CITY AND SUBUBBAN— MR. SANFORD'S MATE BADLY BEATEN. [SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE.) Lonpon, April 25, 1876. The Epsom spring racing meeting commenced to- day under very pleasant auspices. THE ATTENDANCE. The weather was delightful and the attendance unusually large and brilliant. Many of the dis- tinguished members of the Jockey Club were on hand, the majority of whom were attracted by the fact that Mate, another of Mr. M. H. Sanford’s American horses would run in the principal event of the day, the City and Suburban, THE RACE. ‘This handicap is usually one of the most uncertain races decided during the year. Itis run on one mile and a quarter of the Derby course. The quarter of a mile avoided is at the start, and up a steep hill. In the Derby, before the dangerous Tattenham cor- ner is reached all the poor horses have been weeded out and the best take good places. In the City and Suburban, on the other hand, many wretched “screws,” with a little speed, manage to keep a position, so that when the fatal descent is made numbers of horses, ridden by tiny jockeys, come to- gether and much confusion ensues. Of the eighty-three subscribers that remained after forty-one had paid forfeit twenty-three came to the post. Of these there were Mr. Vyner’s Thun- der, Mr. Woolcott'’s Little Harry, Mr. Meadows’ Merry Duchess, Mr. Sanford's Mate, Mr. West- bourne’s Genuine, Mr. Swindell’s Woodlands, Mr. Carr’s Murrumbridges, Lord Downes’ Ambergris, Mr. Denison’s Sweet Thought, Mr. Day's Vittoria, Lord Ailesbury’s Hellenist, Mr. Wheeler's St. Agnes, Mr. Johnstone’s Red Cap Sly, Mra, Drewitt’s Lady Mostyn, Captain Lane’s Hesper, Sir Astley’s Brigg Boy, Mr. Coventry’s Roehampton, Mr. Jennings’ Premier-Mal, Mr, Joliffe’s Garterly Bell, Mr. Somersetshire’s Rostrevor, Mr. Forrester's Servia, Captain Stirling's Whitefail and Mr. Cartwright’s Maud Victoria. Thunder, carrying 130 Ibs., won the race easily, Little Harry, 77 lbs, finishing second, three lengths away, and Merry Duchess, 80 Ibs., third. The favorite, Brigg Boy, came in fifth, and MATE finished in the last six, never having a prominent position at any time. Parry, bis jockey, says that he “could never get near the front.” Mate was very nervous before the start and sweated much, BAY FINAL, another of Mr. Sanford's string, was also entered in the City and Suburban, but declared out, and did not run. He will start to-morrow, however, in the Great Metropolitan Stakes, about two miles and a quarter, and will carry 114 Ibs. After that Mr. Sanford’s horses will be reserved for the meeting at Ascot.

(SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. ] Lospon, April 25, 1876, The principal two-year-old race to-day at the Ep- som Spring Meeting was won by a colt belonging to Mr. Stockwell, an American. This gentleman has recently purchased @ very valuable stud of English — bred horses, and among those obtained at Cobham was the winner, for whom Mr. Stockwell paid 420 guineas. After the race he was called Atlantic Cable, this name having been given him by Sir George Chetwynd. Mr, Stockwell’s horses will be sent to the United States, EXGLISH OPINION OF THE AMERICAN HORSES— LITTLEFIELD'S SYSTEM OF TRAINING THEM. j Lonvor, April 11, 1876. There can be no doubt that the running of the Amer- ican horses in England will be the most important fea- ture of the season, which commenced with such activity a month ago at Lincoln, Tho English journalists and others profess to welcome the enterprise of Mr. San- ford greatly, but at the same time there is, apparently, an undercurrent indicating a wishto pay off a dobt of courtesy cheaply. ‘ENGLISH OPINION, Not one man in England out of a thousand thought, when Mr. Littlefield landed with his horses at Graves- end, that those horses had even a remote chance of competing with the best that the island could produce. Time was when the English ased to ridicule the idea of apy French horse winning the Derby. When at length it happened that a French colt did pop in his head firsta pertect panic prevailed. A more craven spectacie never was witnessed, Because the French won once they will always win was tne cry, and pundits began to write learned articles, showing that the warm air of France was much more in favor of breeding first class animals than tho foggy atmos- phere of England. It 16 a marvellous fact that, though during a hundred years or inore no foreign-bred horse had been even dangerous in the Derby, no sooner did one win than the tail of the British tion becaine very weak and lost all power of erection. Before Glad- fatear’s victory horses were opposed ‘solely because they were French; afterward they were backed for no better reason, aud yet trom Gladiateur’s day to this the attempts of the French to repoat their triumph have failed in a most signal manner; consequently the British are begioning to look up in and think themselves invincible, They torget 1 their great champion Doncaster, who was sold to the Duke of Westminster for 14,000 guineas, cut avery poor igure | ‘on the two occasions when he French Bowrd. ‘They console themselves with the fact that when Boiard was admittedly amiss hetwice succumbed two horses notoriously inferior to Doncaster. MR. TEN BROECK’S SUCCKSS, Then again it 1s argued that Mr. Ten Broeck, who was an adeptat t game, was afailure in this country. There are some thinking English people, however, wiio say that the career of Mr, Ten Broeck wus a singular success, Mr. Ten Broeck was not a map of large for. tune, and be bagged the very highest game. Eng! men of acknowledged tulent, playing the same game, did not last so long as Mr. Tem Broeck did. Even now there are many men in England who will say that the 1860 Derby tavorite, Umpire, on whom it is said that Mr. Ten Broeck stood to win £150,000, was one of the fastest horses that ever trod the turf. It was certainly not the fault of Mr. Ten Broeck that this American | horse did not do go well in public as he bad been in the habit of doing in private, 0 English racing calendar does not record a more brilliant performance than whon Umpire was beaten by a neck in the City and Suburban Handicap at Epsom, on which occasion he | was giving upward of forty pounds to a horse of his own e that was discovered to be of unusual excellence, This was Py ADVENTURER, who afterward won ali sorts of great races, undor all sorts of heavy weights, Ho also distinguished himself | at tho stud, being the sire ot Two Thousand, One Thou- | nd, Derby, 0: and St, Leger wiunere, Lord Cov- try, one of the finest hunting men in England, took | a fancy wo Umpire and put his best mares to bim. Ar- bitrator, who last year won nearly half a score bunt- ’ races, is generally considered to be in every re- spect a prize animal, and when he is shown as a sire he will gain innumerable prizes, PREAKNESS MAY PREVAIL. | So far as the season has gone it bas not prodaced anything of marked excellence. Crack after crack has disappeared, and when Galopin and Spinaway, who were the champions of last season, were sent to the | stud a howl was set up of “Wo shall bave nothing left | to beat those Yankees,” and there can be no doubt that | an uneasy feeling prevails thas, on the champion ground, as Ascot may be termed, Preakness or one of lits fellows may prevail, It has pot been altogether forgotten how, if Prioress had been better ridden at Goodwood, the Stars and Stripes that were hoisted by Mr. Ton Brocck would have been success. ful the first time of asking. Mr, Broeck thought that he was acting sporting the patioual colors altered his jacket to “orange, black belt.” The modesty was to be commended, but he did not disgrace the flag.

POPULAR DEMONSTRATION AVOIDED BY STRAT EGY—ARRIVAL AT SAN FRANCISCO, Sax Francisco, April 25, 1876, The Emperor of Brazil and party ‘ived this evening at Pleasanton, forty miles from the city, where bis car was detached from the train, put behind another engine and rashed over the road half aa hour ahead of the overland train. The object was to avoid apy demonstration on his ar- rival and was @ perfect success, The party passed through Oakland without attracting attention, crossed the Bay, and, arriving at the wharf, took carriages to the Palace Hotel, which they entered without balf a | dozen people knowing of their arrival. On the arrival of the regular train at Oakland a great crowd was in attendance, with bands playing and colors flying, while Dom Bedro wes already ensconced in bis apartments at the Palace Hotel. Seats had been engaged by telegraph for the party to-night to hear Gilmore’s orchestra at the Mechanics? Pavilion, On the arrival of the train at Sacramento the Emperor's party hastily examined the workshops of the Central Pacitic Railroad, and expressed regret ab the briefness of their inspection. The party will remain in this city four or five days, and will then proceed to other points of interest, VISITS OF THE EMPRESS, The Empress during yesterday paid a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, on West Fourteenth street. After spending some time there she drove to Tiffany's store, corner of Fifteenth street and Union square.
