Priva CAPITAL RACES. ——_-— o Spindrift, Aigerine, Tom Ochiltree, Piccol and ctanford the Winners. _ | ‘The fourth day's racing of the Jerome Park spring | mectity was held yesterday and witnessed by atleast | 5,000 5 The weather was rather hot during the morning, bat, wter a shower of rain that came down | about four o'clock I’, ML, turned out pleasant and cool, About noon, esun was atits height, the neat | was very oppressive in the city and many people con. | cluded to take the cars rather than drive their | horses over the heavy, dusty roads A number | vf vehicles were moving up the avenue, jogging along | quietly, as if determined to start early enough to be | able to take their time and not oppress their cattle. | The four in bands, representing the coaching club, | made their appearance about half-past twelve, each | carrying & beavy load, and trotted quietly along | toward the Park, while one ol the party occasionally | when eulivened the road with a blast om the horn, | Yhe mass of the vehicles went out through the | east side of the Park, while few of the | vid Aabituées dodged along up Broadway and | out through the west side in order to avoid the dust | aud crowd. Uutside the Park they all joined together | and streamed down the Boulevard wa cload of dust. | There were one or two very shoddy turnouts on the | road, especially a tandem with the horses harnessed | {) with rod collars, comb’s) Dam Bridge, and, Wwoncerful Jate, Cie authoyities had some carpenters at | work, putting in some new timbers, certainly not be- | fore they were wanted, The remainder of the drive | Was very unpleasant, as the dust was nearly three | inches deep, and the pelling up the bill after leaving | Arculurius’ old house very he.vy. The four-in-hands all wheeled round the turn to the left and were soon afterward drawn up inline, under the clup bouse, and the horses taken out and sent round to the stables. TUR COACHING CLUB, They made quite a handsome picture as they wheeled | round the turn of the hill aud drew up ou the green- sward alongaide of the track. It would be hard to fad The usual jam occurred on Ma. | to re. | \& better looking lot of teams than those out yesterday, and although some of them appeared | as the work had been a trifle heavy, the heat, distance and condition of the road | be taken into consideration, it only Seemed strange that they ever managed to do the work. There isa great dea! of curiosity evinced by the general public | iu relation to the Coaching Club, and when they hold their next parade Madison square will hardly hold the people that will throng to them move of. It is something new to New York ers, but bas evidently struck the public sym pathy, The coaches out yesterday were driven by Messrs, Leonard W. Jerome, W. Jay, A. Jay, W. P. Douglas aud Nelson, The Jatter gentleman drove a hew coach, built by Brewster, of this ety, while Mr. Douglas sat on one of French manufacture, The teams Were mostly bays aud browns, but one mixed team of trays and bays was much admired, Mr. Jerome drove | bis old coach, one of the first ever driven in this city, | aud harnessed toa clever looking vay team well up to | the work, see THE BLOPPS, The bluffs at the back of the track were patronized | ttan early hour, as the outside public did not mind waiting for au hour ag long as they secured u front seat, {t is pleasant to see how popular running racing has | decome, and {t is to be hoped that tae day Is not far dis- | sant when the tleld will be open to the public. When the | bell rang for the starters inthe first race to come ou, | the clab house grounds presented a very charming pict | ture, with groups of gayly dressed ladies seated on tho | bench: the greeu banks that sloped down, and | the half a dozea in the flat at the foot | of Me bill occupying a prominent position In the foreground, The pubdhe stand was densely | on coaches srowded, and it was hard to find breathing space round the French pool stands, The crowd on the outside blufls were increasing very | rapidly, and by the ume the tirst race was over and the contestants ior the Belmont—the American Derby—appeared on the track there mast have been at the very least 2,000 spectators located on tie bighest poiuts: The spectators both inside | outside of the track were intensely in- terested in the result of tbe Belmont Stakes, and the defeat of the favorice raised a howl of delight from the Helders, The sau now passed under a cloud, | and f few moments a covl breeze swept across the valley, relieving the spectators from the oppressive heat they had endured since morming. The clouds, however, began to thicken, and presently a few drops of rain sent the ladies to the shelter of the stand aud club house. The rain dia not last long, 4s the sua soon made its appearance again, if anything, brighter than | ever. The rain ad ceased, but it was impossible to find Any shade on the stand, us it faced the setting sun, AS soon as the races were over there was a general Scramble for carriages, aud in afew minutes the road was covered with vehicles foar decp trotting along toward home, It was quite pleasant ariving home, as the rain had laid the dust. The fouran bands and wlarge number of privitte carriages went over to the Westchester Mo'o Grounds, as the first match for the | challenge cup was to be played m the alternoon, The ices were over in tolorably good time, so that nearly everybody arrived home before hali-past seven, ' THK RACING, Five races came off during the afternoon—the first for # purse, a dash of 4 mile and an eighth; the second the Bemont Stakes, a mile auda half; the third the Jockey Club Handicap, a dash of two miles; the fourth a vesiing race, a dash of a tnile and three-quarters, and the flith a stecplechase; allot which were decwed in a satistaciory mavuer.

The most remarkable game of base ball on record was that played m Providence, R, L,, on Wednesday last, between the Rhode Island Club, of Providence, and the Taunton Ciub, of Taunton, Mass, both claim- ants to the title of champion of New England. It was the fourth game between the elnbs, the Tauntons hav- ing been victorious in two out of the previous three games, It required seventeen innings to decide the contest on Wednesday, but the wonderful part of the display was tke small number of errors made on either side, The home club aggregated but three errors, while the Tauntons, excepting the catcher, had only five accredited to them, The batting was weak, but, even considering this, the flelding on both sides was waprecedented.
