As the time approaches for the gates of Jerome Park to be thrown open to the public speculation waxes warm upon the probable performers in the several im- portant stakes to be run during the coming meeting. With the increase in the activity of the betti siement the bookmaker atthe Jockey Club rooms, Twenty-sev- enth street and Madison avenue, bas cut down the favorites several points, so there have been many changes recently and the ruling rates at present are far below thoge of a month ngo. Much of the reduc- tion is due to the performances of some of the favorites at the recent meetings in the Southwest, both the book- maker and public accepting victories there as excellent criterions of what it is possible for the horses to do in tho Kast.

SCHUYLER CROSBY'S SIDE THE WINNER. Tho members of the Polo Club were out yesterday afternoon and enjoyed another series of thoroughly good practice games, Now that it is becommg more generally known that the polo players practise on Wednesday and Saturday alternoons, tho number of carringes, ladon with spectators, at each game in- creases, and yosterday afternoon there wero some \wenty or thirty vehicles drawn up on the rcad outside the grounds, and filled with Indies and gentlemen, who appeared to take a lively interest in the game, The ponies were all on the ground, ready. saddled and bridied at haf-past three, and stood under a clump of trees to the left of the carriage entrance, waiting | forthe time to come when they should be called upon } } | t to show their speed and training. They are all greatly improved in appearance, and reflect credit on the gentleman in whose charge they have been. Mr. W. P. Douglas, with his coach, arrived shortly after four P. M., and drew up tothe right of the entrance under the shade of some trees, whose rich foliage afforded a pleasant shelter. Another coach was also pied the root appeared thoroughly comfortable and prepared to enjoy themselves. After some little delay | arawn up close alongside, and the ladies that occu. | the geotiemen that were going to play emerged from | the marquee, clad in breeches and boots and the blue and scarlet shirtsjthat form the uniform of the club. After looking to the girths and leather evorything correct, they threw themscives into the Pigskin and took a gentle canter to breathe thelr mini. aturesteeds, They fiualiy came togother and after tossing for choice, the following sides were picked, and A THR FIRST GAM BRGAN, Mr. 8 wr Crosby, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Howland Robbins, Mr, J. Mott, Mr. Perry Belmont, Mr. J. Kane, Mr. Winay Thorne, Mr. Griswo Mr. W. P. Douglas officiated as umpire, and, taking ‘up his position in the centré, threw up the bail and gave the orders to start, On tho Arst charge the lead- ers on both rides missed the ball, and in the general mélée that followed Mr. Schuyler Crosby came to grass ing Was very lively, and the players exhibited consider- ably greater precision in handling their mallets than and seeing | | and his pony nearly tumbled ou top of him.

Mr. Robbins missed it, and the ball received its first blow Irom one of the opposition. Alter gome play Mr. Crosby Mr. Robbing carriod the bali close ap to their opponents’ goal, but by a good bit on the of one of the embers of ter, the fortunes of the day were turned and the fight was re- sumed on neuttal ground, There was still a certain free ose of the mallet exhibited that some gentioman will find objectionable in case the batt end of & stick comes into contact with bis bead. After some pretty good play on both sides Crosby’s party succeeded in driving the ball up to the enemy's goal, and a well directed blow sent it through and scored another victory for Mr, Crosby's side. For the third game there wore some changes in the players, and THR SIDES STOOD, j. G. Beni Howland Robbin pion ma Pr Belmont, g| dir, Griswold, Mt. Franckiyn. Mr. Schuyler Crosby officiated as umpire, This game ‘was short and sweet, as without Mr. Pee 4 the side on slaved toe pe ener ate carry tho is she aie Hows tae nod score aghel In Oary Woe bad nee ‘Tae fourth game played by the same sides was better fe ba Mies Mr Franchiya also proved Ir. yn also provi the use of the mallet, ing they came to close Robbins’ goal. In the excitement of the moment mallets begun to be slup; rather loosely, and Mr. Kob- Ding got a smart tap on thoeys The damage, however, was slight, Mr. Perry Belmont finally made a clean hit and drove the bajl away from his goal, sending the players onee more to the centre, The ponies wero all behaving very well, and appeared to be thoroughly well broken. . The Players now redoubled their exertions, and, after some sharp on both sides, Mr. Douglas made a hit, and, backed up by Mr. Francklyn, carsied the again to the centre, Jt was brought back again to ba Robbins’ goal, whore a well directed bit Gnished e game. In the fitth game Mr. Crosby again took part, and Mr, Robbins officiated as umpire. After. tho first charge tor the ball the players all got jammed up to- ether in the centre, the mallets rattled together, and Ponies danced to the music as if appreciating the excitement of the game. Both sides gained an advan- tage, and on several occasions the ball was driven out and the players ranged in opposite lines, ready to make & usb a8 soon as it was thrown back on the scene of the contest. Finally Mr. Crosby went to work and, backed up by Mr. Douglas, carried the bail down to the enemy’s goal, where they were brought to a halt and a determined fight ensued. It was, how: ever, only temporary, as one of the Crosby party sent the ball between the goal posta and scored another vic- tory for his side, THE SIXTH GAME ‘was commenced as soon as the parties had changed ge It was by far the prettiest game to wateh, as here was more riding, the ball being kept more on the move and not all the time between the ponies’ legs. The mallets, however, were again being raised aloft and tbe warning ory of “Mallets down” that came from the umpire, Mr. Robbing, had to be repeated a good many times without r. mg any attention. Mr. Francklyn finally made a pretty good hit and brought the ball once more to the centre of the field, from where the Crosby party getting to work, backing each other well up, eedod in carrying it up toward their opponents’ goal. This time their skill again received its reward, as, after an exciting struggle, the little ball was suddenly hit out of the forest of bamboo sticks and po! logs and, passing between the flagged goal posts, scored another Victory for Mr. Crosby, making the total score four to Mr. Crosby and two to Mr. Bennett, Some (ew of the members remained for about a quai ter of an hour lougor, but as it was getting late the ma- Jority relieved themselves of their riding costume. ‘The horses were put to the coaches and, with a parting Diast of tho horn, tho tour-in-hands rolled out of the meadow and took tho road for the city.

May 13, 1876 To day the northern men met their Dublin colleagues on the military ranges at Dui nd an excellent day's work resulted. The weather was charmingly fine, and on such a day the shooting, speaking roundly, should have been bett The men recorded their wind and elevation for each shot, and worked in this respect on the plan of the riflemen who carried the day at Dollymount. McKenna fired for the first time on bis back, and this is held to account for the smallness of his score, Wilson was almost as sure as he ever was, Dut the rest of the Belfast men are not known in the shooting world, The shooters were divide’ into two squads, the portberners taking No. 1 target and the home team No. 2, and though a match, practically speaking, was fired, there was no money prize or cup awarded the victors, As Mr. Joyntisa new rifleman Major Leech put him into James Pollock’s place, and though this latter gentleman fired the full number of shots, making a total of 184 points, his score is not taken into aceount im the grand total ca'culations, whieh show a wuccess for the Dublin men by 1 points.

A letter nas been received from Mr. Gifford, the owner of the Canadian schooner yacht Countess of Dufferin, accepting the terms of tho New York Yacht Club in regard to the sailing for the Queen's Cup in no far that he agrees to saila series of three races, 18 proj by the New York Yacht Club, over tho courses designated in this harbor or its vicinity in July, or to nail tho series over the courses , starting | from Newport, R. I, in Angust, Mr. -Giflord, however, stipulates that one yacht sbail be selected to sail against him, to be named by the Ist of July next. He objects to the selection of three yachts, one to be named as his competitor on the morning of the race, athe weather | is light of, rough, as was done in the case of the matches with the Livonia. A majority of the mom- bers of the New York Yacht Clob are in favor of acced. ing to the proposition of Mr. Gifford, considering that it would be more sportemanlike, and more conducive generally to the intorests of yachting, The club how- ever, hasto determine the question, YACHTING NOTES. ‘The yachts Wanderer, N.Y.Y.C., Mr. James Stillman, from New York for the eastward; Wayward, N.Y.Y.C., flying Brooklyn Y.C. signal, Mr. 8 A.

Mayor Wickham was closeted with the Police Com missioners yesterday’ for half an hour, the subject ot cobversation being the raid on Sunday last, The doors were kept caretully closed while the discussion lasted, At its conclusion the Commissioners expressed opia- Jons with rega'd to tho raid and the future policy of the Board. General Smith said that in the enforcement of the law he ins.sted on the strictest impartiality. Mr Nichols beleved in a modification of the law, whereby an open traffic on Sunday might be done away with Th Commissioners saw no remedy but to enforce the © long as it remained on the satute books, The general opinion was that the Board would not re- cede from its present position, althoogh it ts probable that less harsh measures will be adopted tn future, MEETING OF LIQUOR DEALERS, A moeting of liquos dealers was held yesterday af'iers noon at the call of the Central Committee of the Liquor Dealers’ Association, to make arrangements for a general mass meeting to protest against the mgid en- forcement of the Excise law, Major Sauer called the meeting to order and nominated Mr. Michael Hahn for chairman, Mr. Habn was elected, and on taking the chair wished it distinctly understood that be was prea- ent at the meeting simply in his capacity as a private citizen, He has no fizancial interest in any of the vari- ous branches of the trade, but must enter his earnest Protest against the action of the police last Sunday, Dr, Sebaibie addressed the meeting in German and urged the appointment of a committee to make prepa- rations for a mass meeting of eitizens to take place early next week in Cooper Institute, He denounced the present Excise law as an outrage upon the liberty of citizens, affecting not only the persons engaged in the traffic, but materially striking at the right to exer- cise their free will by the masses of the people. Mr, R. Kalzoimemeyer said it was no use for oither the who'eeale or retail dealers to attempt to make the question a political one or to attempt to throw biame either upon the Police Commissioners or the officials who did their bidding, The fault was in the law itself, and so long as it remained or tho statute book the city officials haf no alternative except to entoree it whon called apon to do so, That this call had been made by a certain purtion of the community who represent | temperance element was an lished fact. W | the meeting should considor was how either to obtalm | a repeal of the law or to s0 modify it that a distinction would be drawn between the sale of spirituous liquore and that of beer and light wines, both of which, hi claimed, were not only harmless, but whol some and nutritioas heverages, Until thie | could be done the courts should be asked to | make a temporary injunction in order to provent a re- currence of the disgraceful scenes of last Sunday. A text case could be started at once, and if that failed | such men should be sent to tbe Logisiature as would either abolish or amend the law. | Alter some other speeches a committeo on mass ting was appointed, with power to add to their nber, 80 that the ‘committee when complete will | have two representatives from each ward in the city. | After the adjournment of the meeting an, informal meeting of the committee was held, when it was de- cided to await the result of the meeting of the German Saengerbund this evening before taking any defuite | action, EXCISE DEPARTMENT CHANGES. The Board of Excise yesterday officially appointed Casper C. Childs as Chief Clerk to the Commissioners, They also dismissod Inspectors Urban, Hunt, Coffin and Weeks, and appointed in their placos Messrs, Oli- ver H. Kingsland, Thomas Kannady, James ¥. Cavas nagh and James Gregory. It 1s provable that the position of chief bookkeeper, now held by Mr. Koerner, will be given to Mr. Donohue, of Albany, formeriy ise Inspector in that city. The Commissioners are nimous in the opinion that the business of tho de- | partment requires from six to cight additional inspec tora, and if the appropriation asked for is given by the Board ot Estimate and Apportionment the forco will be so increased. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, CONTINUATION OF THE CONGRESSIONAL INVES TIGATION AT THE ASTOR HOUSE. The Sub-Committee of tho Congressional Committee on ths Department of Justice (Mr. Meade, chairman) | continued its session at the Astor Honso yesterday. The committee was engaged during most of the day in | nearing testimony, hoping to gather some clews from which tangible evidence might hereafter be gained in furthorance of the purpose of the investigations. All the witnesses were examined with closed doors, not tnat the press might be denied admission so much as to pre vent the possibility of persons subpoenaed utilizing the | commtttes for the gratification of personal malice or } Spite. The committee have already had presented to | them some charges against officials with which they have but little to do, and again they have heard seri- ous statements made which, ip the absence of any cor- roboration as yet, they do’ not desire to have made public.’ This silence will bo removed should any infor- mation come before the committee which would rendor | the allegations entitled to constdoration. | _ Two United States Deputy Marshals, Harris and Bern- | hard were examined, thoir testimony having retoronce | tothe manner of the performance of their duties, a few recent cases being taken for example. This sort of tes- | timony ts of but little interest except to the committee itself, whose business it 18 to collect facts for a gencral re~ ‘vision of the Marshal's office. The testimony of Jobn X. Brown, a printer, at No. 24 Beckman street, was also taken. Brown testified that he was litule more than an agent in the business for John I. Davenport, who put $25,000 into the concern a few years ago, nearly all of | which, howevor, was now gone; he admitted that a | large ntmber, if not all, of the election documents had been printed in the concern. Davenport having contro} of such papers as Supervisor of Elections: but he denied that any overcharges bad ever been made; he stated that Davenport had always been particularly anxious to have the bilis down to the very lowest figure, at which similar work would be done by any other firm. by In the evening the committee held a secret session, Considerable speculation was occasioned in the alter? noon among interested outsiders as to the cause of the presence of two ladies at the door of the commitice Toom seeking for admission, and hopes were enter- tained that the dull rontine of tho tnvertigation was to be brightened up by some startling testimony involv. ing somebody or other in ‘‘n caso, with a woman in it,* The conjectures all vanished into thin atr when it be- came known that one of the ladies called to sec a mem- ber of the committee only to ask a question or two about some other man. THE PICNIC HOMICIDE. , Coroner Croker held an inquest yesterday morning in the case of John Sexton, who was shot last Satur+ day night by John McMahon, J., white entering on the premises of the latter from the National Park, | Sixty-second street and Tenth avenue, | | Thomas McMahon, fathor of the prisoner, testified:— | My garden 1s separated from the National Park Garden by a wooden fence; we were often troukled by people who attend picnics in the Park ; last Sanday my garden was trampled over and my fence broxen down by some persons trom the picnic; they damaged my property about $250; last Saturday night my son told me th some roughs had threatened to eet the house on fire; I went to the polico station and told the officer in charge, ha! said that policemen had been already sent to my jonse, Catharine MeMahon, wife of the proceding witne: said she was at home when the affray took heard a noise and saw several roughs chasing her son and throwing stones at him; one of the crowd called out to her son, “I'll have your life and burn the house down ;" they broke down the fence and followed my | Bon to the door with sticks and stones, Michael Platy, of Sixty-second strect, between Tenth | and Eleventh avenues, said that he was with tho ac cused Jast Saturday night mtting ona rock near the fence which divides the two lots; while there a young {man came to the -platform and ordered them away; | John MeMabon, Jr., sud that ho lived there; stones were then thrown across the fence and witness saw one map climb over; ho did not wait to see the subsequent pro. ceedings, but ran home. | John Ginley, who was Also with McMahon, said that after the first man got over the fence several othors fob lowed and chased himself and companion into the lat ter’s house; McMahon got two guns and gave one to wit ness; he told witness they were not loaded; they ther | ran back toward the fence; rome ove took hold of wit ness and broke his gun; McMahon also was stragalit with some one and his guo went off; witness saw man fall ; it was very dark and he did not see any one until his gun was grabbed; he haé heara some one call out that they would barn MoMa | hon’s house. | Henry O'Donnell, a painter, of No. 614 Tenth ave. | nue, said that he was with the deceased at the timo of. the row; no stones wore thrown by them aud no words were used about burning the house, ‘The case was then, halt-past ono, adjourned till this morning at eleven o'clock.
