JOCKEY CLUB. Second Day of the Spring Meeting at Jerome Park, AMERICAN THE COACHING CLUB. Delightful Weather and Large Attendance. FIVE CAPITAL RACES. Spindrift, Viator, Sultana, Olitipa and Trouble the Winners. ‘The weather was delightful yesterday afternoon and the drive through the Park on the way to the races was charming. The grass seemed greener and the foliage on the trees more dense than on Saturday last, while the atmosphere was much clearer and more bracing. Through the Park and on the great avenues to the bridge the scene was inspiriting, as many a fast horse ‘to light wagon was shown off to best advantage, while the family carriages with thor prancing teams jogged leisurely along with windows open, enjoying the balmy breeze and admiring the grand four-in-hand teams of the COACHING CLUB es they dashed along with their happy loads of beauty and fashion on the outside, making the coaches from a distance resemble a large bunch of flowers—a huge bouquet. There were three drags of the Coaching Club at Jerome Park on the terrace in front of the club house, These were Mr. Leonard W. Jeromo’s drag, with cross team of bays and gi , which was first on the ground, loaded with gentlomen exclusively. Mr. Douglas came next, with his drag and cross team of bays and grays, the company on the coach being brilliant with fashion and beauty. Mr. Schermerhorn was the third to reach the grounds with three chestnuts, and a bay at the near wheel: ‘The top of the drag was ornamented with female lovo- linoss, and the three handsome vehicles occasioned a great deal of admiration from the spectators. ‘The attendanco at Jerome Park was not as large pos- sibly as on the opening day, yet there was just as grand a display of beauty and fashion, The club house balconies were crowded, andthe terrace of greon in front of the house was covered with ladies and gen- tlemen, while the grand stand, the lawn in front and around the pool stands wero well flied with admiring spectators, The hills on the outside of the enclosure were also crowded with their usual number of admir- ers of racing who care little for the stand point so the race can be seen for nothing, and this class, be it said to their credit, always condugt themselves ina quiet and orderly manner and enjoy the sport with as much gusto as those who grace the club house balconies or the grand stand. All, rich and poor, insiders and out- siders, admired the racing yesterday, and the several contests will long be remembered by those who wit- nessed the capital running that took place. Five events were on ‘the’ card, tho first a dash of a milo; the second the Westchester Cup, two miles and aquarter; the third the Maryland stakes, one, mile; the fourth a dash of a milo and three-quarters, with one hundred and ten pounds up, and the fifth a handi- cap steeplechase over the usual course, and they all tame off satisfactorily with the exception of the stee- Plechuse, which was rather a failure from the fact that two of the contending horses fell carly in the race, making the affair 4 one-sided raco, as the two horses that finished the race wore owned by the same man, Recklessness was the cause of the falls, but fortunately no one was hurt. Both horses, when riderless, contin- ‘ued in the race for some time, and jumped hurdles and ‘walls without any one to guide them, THE FIRST EVENT war for a purse of $500, with allowances for maidens as follows:—It three years old, three pounds; if four years old, seven pounds; if five years or upward, twelve pounds, The distance one mile.

When tho horses appeared on the lower turn, after being out of sight for a few seconds, Kildare was leading two lengths, Stampede second,’ tour lengths ahead of Olitipa. The trio ran in this way around the lower turn, tut when they came to the stand Kildare was two lengths in advance of Stampede, the latter two lengths in front of Olitipa, Going around the upper turn Hughes put on the steam and ran away from Stampedo and Olitipa, He was haifa dozen lengths 1n trout at tho quarter pole, but coming down toward the bluff Olitipa made a rush, and, passing Stampede, quickly made after Kildare at a lightning pace. As the horses passed Out of sight Olitipa was.at the heels of Kildare, and she Jay there until well around the lower turn, when she moved up and took sides with him, Stampede at this time was far behind, Kildare and Olitipa came into the homestretch side and side, and, after a strong gal- lop under a pull, Olitipa won tbe race by two length: Stumpedo’ ten lenethy away. ‘Time of the mile an three-quarters, 3:12), which was very good time on so heavy a track.

The Paris mutuels paid THY FIVTH EVENT was a handicap steeplechase for a purse of $800, of which $200 had to goto the second horse, over the usual steoplechase course.

Trouble and Point Blan! 250 «2500 450 615 Ballet. .04- 0-0-2006 Colonel Netligaa THR RACK, The horses had a good start and wont off in a north- erly direction from the foot of the bluff, down the fractional truck, where, about midway, they encoun- tered a hurdle, which Colonel Nelligan was tho first to gu over, followed by Point Blank, who knocked it down, Trouble being third and Bullet fourth, The horses then went down to tho end of the track and jumped into the field, Nelligan showing the way, Trouble second, Bullet third, Peint Blank fourt Cireling und’ tho fleld to the left they encoun- tered @ rail Jence, Nelligan going over first very cleverly, Trouble second, Bullet third and Point Blank bringing up the rear, Still circling tue fleld the horses faced the grand stand, and coming on had a stiff fence to jump. Neili- gan came to it first, but touching the top rail felland threw Hughy Gaffney a burster on the grass Trouble ‘was next over the fence, then Bullet, Point Blank fol- Jowing some few lengths away. Trouble then went on with the lead, followed by Nelligan without a rider, Builet third, Point Blank fourth, They took the two hurdles, which wero close together at the toot of the bluff, known us ‘‘in and outers,” and then passed into the ‘south field in this Way, and circied all around there, making four jumps over fences and then came to the hedge and water in front of the stand, which, having enlarged since last year, is now a formidable leap for a horse. ‘Troable showed the way over, one Jength ahead of Bullet, Nelligan third, Point Blank bringing up the rear, Shouts of delight at the good jumping of the horses, and particularily the way the riderless horse poriormed his work, now rent the air. Trouble passed on through the shute between the two tracks, taking a hurdle on the way, closely fol- lowed by Bullet, Nelligan next, aod then Point Blank, none of them making the slightest mistake, and they crossed the track and went out to the road leading up to the picnic grounds, Trouble still leading, Bullet second, Nelliguo third, Point Biank a few lengths behind, Nelligan then missed his way, and instead of going to the top of the hill, ran around it and thus quit the company of the others, Trouble. was two lengths ahead of Bullet when he Jumped the stone wall at the top of the bill, Point Blank ‘about eight lengths benind, ‘Tronbie and Bullet came down the bill, crossed the track, and entered the north field close together, when Sutlfle, the rider of Bullet, made a dash for the lead, and, putting his horse to the top of his speed, made a rush for the stone wall in the centre of the field, Trouble -and Bullet came tothe wall together, but Bullet struck the top of it and came down on his knees, throwing Sutiiffe heavily over tis head and stepping. on him «as he lay appar. ently insensible, Bullet continued on after Trouble and jumped the two hurdles at the toot of the bluff, but soon afterward gave up the chase, There were now but two norses in the race and these owned by the same man, and, as it made little difference to the backers which won, little interest was taken further in the race. All eyes were, then turned to Sutliffe, the fallen jockey, but after being lifted from the ground he recovered his seases and walked with his heipers to the judges’ stand not much the worse for the shake up. ‘Gafey, the rider of Colonel Nelligan, was not much burt and was walking about soon alter the fa'l. Trouble and Point Blank galloped home alter jumping all the walls and fences in the south fleld and on the regular track, Troubic leading by about eight lengths. The time ot the ran Was 4:2545.

Annual Regattas of the Atlantic and Jersey City Clubs. A FINE DAY AND A GOOD BREEZE. Our Beautiful Bay Filled with Gallant Sailing "Craft and Trim Steamboats, ‘The annual regatta of the Atlantic Yacht Club was sailed yesterday over their regular course, and resulted ima victory for the schooner Triton and the sloops Madcap and Curlew in their respective classes. The weather could not bave been more propitious, as a clear sky and a warm sun wero coupled with a good sailing breeze from start to finish, ‘The Triton ‘won’ her race in handsome style by over five minutes, besides the 7m. 40s, time that sho had to allow. The Madcap was well handled and sailod throughout the regatta, and achieved a remarkable victory in defeating the crack sloop Undine on time allowance. The Curlew, in carrying off the first prize for the second class sloops, did quite a feat considering the record of one of her opponents, the Kaiser Wil- helm, probably the best sloop of her class that McGeehan-ever built, There were somo changes in the position of the yachts on the return from Gedney’s buoy to the home stake, but it was impossible to do- scribe them, as the captain of the ymboat Tittamer took bis v 1 heme so last that the yachts were leit out of sight. Tbe steamers Tittamer and Magenta were char- tered by the club for the uso of tho judges and their guests, and at a quarter to ten the Tittamer left Martin’s dock and was followed shortly after by the Magenta. After paying a flying visit to Gowanus Bay, where the yachts were laying at anchor with their can- Yas stretched, the Tittamer ran gown to the starting point off Bay Ridge, There wasatresh broezo trom the north northwest, and the tide was running ebb. There wore three races on the programme :—One for schoon- ers, one for first class sloops (all cabin sloops of 40 feev and over on water hne), one for second class sloops {all cabin sloops under 40 fect on water line).

The steamer Tittamer arrived off Bay Ridge at half. past ten and took up # position outside the stakeboat, The yachts were all beating about the bay wailing for the starting signal. The judges were put off on a row- boat to take the time of the yachts ns they crossed the Jide, and at 10h, 48m. 308. the preparatory whistle was biown from the Magenta, There was a pleasant sailing breeze trom the north by west und the tide was about the first of the ebb. The Peerless was cruising around in complete racing trim and pot leaded up to her rail, The second gun was fired at 10h. 51m., and the schooners prepared to cross the line, Tho Triton came up first with her boom to port and heeling over under the breeze.

Tho Peeriess came noxt, with the Undine under her lea, but the cutter catch. inga puffshot ahead and passed buoy No. 5 at 2:55 P.

Inside the Horseshoe the ''riton went on the port tack and headed for the Narrows, followed by the Peerless and Undine, the latter about a cable’s length to windward. The breeze was still holding fresh and the Triton had as much as she wanted under her topsaiis. The Madcap was away down to leaward of the Peerless, making good weather and carrying her topsail like a three decker, The Peeriess and Agnes had their foretopsaiis down and the Triton kept hers standing. The Mohawk passed to leaward of the fleet, standing up toward the Horseshoe, with all her light canvas stretched and making land very fast, The Tidal Wave madea stretch down in her ction as if anxious to givo her a brush and tacked across her bows. Tho Triton tacked off the Romer Seacon at 8h, 22m. and made tretch on tho starboard tack, crossing the bows of the Undine’ and Peer- less,’ Tho latter was now second bout in the floet, and the Peerless led the Agnes by about four minutes. At 3b. 27m. the Triton stayod off the weather bow of the Undin id headed up toward the narrows. The Wan- derer came ou! jd met the fleet, looking in good sail- ing trim this season, The Undine was toilowing in the wake of the Triton and appeared to be closing up the gap. The captain of the Tittamer was now steam- ing ahead for dear life, and the racing yachts wero bn- ing gradually left so far astorn that it was impossible to make out what they were doing. The Tittamer ar- rived at the homo stakeboat at 4:25, before the racing yachts had reached the narrows, having carefully car- riod the members of the press out of all view of the most interesting portion of the race, At 4h. 30m. the ‘Triton was sighted coming down through the narrows on. the port tack, heeling over to the breeze and leading the schooners, The breeze was now blowing very fresh and coming in strong puffs from the northwest, raying the white caps as it swept across the barbor.

JERSEY CITY YACHT CLUB. The rogatta of the Jersey City Yacht Club, which took place yesterday, in which four classes of yachts took part, proved a perfect succcas, notwithstanding that the number of conthsting boats was considerably less than the entries. The ciub house, opposite which the start was made for all classes of yachts, was thronged throughout the day with ladies and members ef thoclub, Wind and weather were All that could be desired, and, although several of the com. peting yachts met+ with mishaps, yot the occasion was one of gratification at the man- ner in which tho regatta was carricd out. In fact the ciub has seldom in previous years heid a re- gatta wherein greater satis(action has been the result to allcontestants and others interested than that of yes- terday. As was stated in the Hxranp of yesterday, the competing yachts were divided into feur classes, the first being for cabin sloops, in which competed tho yachts Plover, Lurline, Mary and Sea Spray, the course being from the club house to and around the Southwest Spit (buoy 834) and return, as it was also ior the second class (open boats.) In the first class the Lurline proved the winner, the Plover and Mary run- ning ashore when almost abreast the home stake boat, aliowing the Lurline, which had been some twenty minutes behind, to creep up and win the prize. The jeSea Spray did not round the buoy at the Southwest 3) Ht An the second class the Knight Templar proved tho victor, beating the Rebecca over tho course by time al- lowance. It is only Jair, however, to say that the latter parted her mainsheet twice, compolling ber to lose over eight minutes in time while splicing it. For the third class the course was irom the club house to and around Fort Latayette, to and around the stake boat off the club house and to and around the can buoy off Robbing Reef and retarn to the origi- nal place of starting. The ovly two antagonists were the Wille ana Addie Taylor, the former winning the race through the withdrawal of tne latter by reason of carrying away ber shrouds. In the fourth class there were five competing yachts— viz., the Annie i th, Alice, Edna, Bijou and H. Jahne, The course was from the ciub house to and around Rovbins Reef and return and again over tho same distance, The Bijou proved the victor. The yachts generally wero well handled and sailed by those io charge of them, and the results attained could not be but considered as a thorough test of jadg- ment of the sailing masters and tho weatberly quality of the boats.

RETURN OF CAPTAIN REES—TWO DUBLIN CREWS AND ONE CAMBRIDGE CREW TO COME—ALSO OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE ATHLETES. Captain B. Frank Rees, Chairman of the Regatta Committee of the American College owing Associa- tion, has just returned from Europe by the City of Chester, It will be remembered that he crossed a few ‘weeks ago to urge the acceptance of the very hearty and generous chalienge of the association to the representa- tive crews of the universities of Oxford, Cambrdge and Dublin, and while all have not decided to come still enough has been accomplished to insure a race which has not been equalled in interest since our students rowed England’s on the Thames in 1869. Proceeding first to Cambridge, he visited Mr, W. B. Close, President of the University Boat Club, He found many men who wéuld like much to see a crew sent outand was very core dially seconded in his endeavors by Mr. Peabody, ono of the university crow of 1874, who ts also an Amer. fean, Time was taken to communicate with the parents of the men who would probably,make up tho team. President Close having advised frequently with his brothers (one of whom rowed bow in the London Rowing Club fonr which beat tho Atalantas), there seemed no difficulty about the expense, and at la:t all was made to hinge on whether Mr, Shafto, stroke of the crew which whipped Oxford on the 8th of April, would consent to come and row stroke, He wason the Conti- nent at the time, but his answer proved to bea flat re fusal, and no reason was alleged. Captain Rees was told that two othor crews would come from Cambridge, one of which, that from First Trinity, with Mr, Penrose as stroke, will include Prosident Close, of the University Boat Club, Although this is almost as nearly University four as was tho Harvard one which rowed Oxford (for only two out of that--Messrs, Loring and Simmons—had ever previously rowed ina university® race) still Cap. tain Rees bad no power to treat with any but a univer. sity crew, and so Mr. Close’s crew wero not asked to take part in the coming August contest at Saratoga, and so farareonly planning to contend in the Cen- tonnial races on the Schuyikill atthe end of August, He 18 not certain whether they will row next week at the Thames National regatta at Henley. While they did not head the river this year, Jesus College having that honor, they were among the first, and are a fast team, While at Oxford the prospect seemed no better than at Cambridge, and the lack of any respectable appear. anco of a reason for it was almost equally marked; but he found a willingness to share in tho ATHLETIC SPORTS, Oxford being very strong in some of these this year, hav- ing, for instance, a tall fellow who clears six feet two in the high jump, which, when put beside the five feet two of the winners in the meeting the other day at the New York Athietic’s grounds, will be seen to be prodigious; indeed, it is probably the best on record, whether amateur or professional What she seemed to prefer was not to send a team exclusively but to combine with Cambridge and send over six or eight mon tor all the contests. Although it fs likely that they could thus bent us in most of the trials, yes our students wil be blameworthy if they ‘ov slip ‘an occasion for such rare sport, and aptain Rees thinks that the American College Athletic Assoziation should lose no time in forwarding an invitation af hearty as was the rowing one. But whatever hesitation and nting of chancet there were at Oxford and Cambri here were non¢ at Dublin, To be sure, the undergraduate term were reluctant until he made clear to them tho reception they would meet with in this country and the interest the race would excite. The graduate team, Measra, Pentland, Hickson and the two Barringtons, had been alreagy working for wooks and making all preparations to be on band at the Centennial races. But they would not be allowed in a race with our undergraduates—in- deed, they are said (o have been barred out at Henley on the same ground, The Barringtons, for instance, while graduates and also residing at Dublin, have had ne conneetion tor some years with the Upiversity. But while this is so, Mr. Croker Barrington, who will row No. 3 and now weighs upward of 180 pounds, is ro puted to bs TYR PIRST OARSMAN IN IREEAND, His brother weighs hardly a stone less, whilo Messrs, Pentland aud Hickson aro lighter and smaller men, They much regret that they cappot meet our under. graduates, and when Captain Rees reminded them how generous were the terms offered by our students, and thought 1 the formcr would not be too ‘exacting a race for them might also be arranged at Saratoga separate from the undergraduate contest, they promptly und manfully told him to make them such a race as he saw fitand they would row init, With such excellent ax surance, after so much vacillating elsewhere, he wat naturally gratified, aud will try bard to arrange «gradu: ates’ race for the day after, of possibly the afternoon o the day of the Undergrad International Meeting, it which not only the Wesleyan graduate four aiready together, but perhaps crews of Cornoll, Columbia, Yale and other graduates will take part. As already said, the undergraduates and their great friend, Pro- fessor Leslie, at first needed some ¢xplanations, but when these came they quickly began to be interested, and the result was that a crow, with Mr, Cowen at stroke and Mesars. Ainbrose, Poole and Cowen, HAVE ACCEPTRD THK CHALLENGE, and aro to row our students at Saratoga. Something of their quality may bo inferred from Cowen’s rowing stroke of the crew which won the Ladies’ Plate last year at Henley, beating, we believo, crows from both Oxford and Cambridge, while Poole was in the winning crew in the Dublin Metropolitan Regatta and Ambrose is an experienced oar, Professor Leslie promise: them substantial aid with the expense o the voyage, while, as is only right,” an rangements have already been complctea t render their stay in this country one whict will cost them nothing, unless possibly a beating, They cannot leave till well into July owing to their home fixture, the Metropolitan Regatta, early in that month. The time set for the race at Saratoga ts ‘ou or bolore the 15th of August,’ as a later date would not allow them sufficient time at Philadelphia before the Centenn‘al racing in which they wish to particw pate, and hore broke out a sample of the bitter hostile ity existing between them and their rivals of the rowing club, Professor Leslie told Captain Rees thas it even ten minutes betore any race they found that the Barrington team would be in it, they WOULD AT ONCK WITHDRAW. This, thon, is the crew which is mark ng out the work for our students, the arrangement being that the two or threo foremost crews in the national university six-oared race on the 1%th of July are to each select their best foar mon, and these latter are to meet the Trish graduates in the straightaway threo mile laned course on Saratoga Lako on aday to bo yot settled about the middie of August. tain Res found the coming jour to bo of mediom height and weight, of much about an age with our undergraduates and em we # He also ing fit’ to row them a lively race. and 310 Barrington four at work, was not hard to detect faults, id always unimportant ones, they baye some vi strong points, In common with the Cambridge oars. men, who were out in great numbers on the little Cam, thoy show more straight backs and erect hoads th: we do, get their hands sharply of their bodies at the beginning of tho stroke, and the bodies themselves poing forward moro measuredly, thus avoiding the ncketing which js too common among But the chicf superiority lay in the grip they managed to get of the water, tearing the oar throagh with great force, leaving a cavity behind 1 feathering up especially was rich cleanly.
