4 AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB, at Jerome Vark. Cloudy Weather and Heavy a rack. THE COACHING CLUB. A VERY FINE ATTENDANCE FIVE CAPITAL RACES. Orion, Sunburst, Mettle, Chesapeake and Stanford the Winners. ‘The drive thréugh the Park yesterday afternoon after the deluging rains of last night and this morning, every leaf and flower being washed clean, was truly delight- ful and the perfume most delicious, The roads were free from dust, which added to the comfort of the irive to Jerome Park, There was 4 larger attendance than was anticipated by the management, aod the dports were much better than was looked for. THR COACHING CLUB was represented by Mr. Leonard W. Jerome, with his croas team of grays and chestnuts; other of the coaches passing through Jerome Park to the polo grounds, where that popular and exciting amusement was in- fulged in by several of the members of the club, to the [reat delight of the ladies who were spectators, The hill overlooked the course, aud during the aiter- hoon was filled with the free list, who are great ad, mirers of sports of the turt, and are principally people who have been accustomed to secing racing on Now- market Heath, Epsom Downs and the Curragh of Kil- fare without being subject to a tariff for tho sight, and bhey are content with the eligible stand that nature has provided for them on tho right of Jerome avenue. The grass on the terrace in front of the club house was beautifully green and the whole sylvan scone was simply gorgeous, Few they were, unfortunately, to enjoy the beautics of the place, the dampness of th grass rendering it tmpossible to recline under tho shade of the trees facing the race course, The sun during tho afternoon was very warm and the track dried rapidly under its scorching rays; but. this did not improve it at all, On the contrary, it made it more heavy and holding. THE RACING, The track was a quagmire; a worse one could not possibly be imagined, and fast time was out ofthe ques- Mon. Not only was the track slow, but it was also dangerous, and it was a wonder that so many horses came to the post where there were opportunities of do chning running. Five events were on the card; the first adash ofbaifa mile by two-year-olds; the second a dash ofa mile and a half; the third, a sweepstakes for all ages, a dash of a mile; the fourth, the Woodburn Stakes: jor foar-year-olds, two,milos'and a half, and the fifth a handicap steeplechase, about two miles and a quarter, The races were ran in very good time considering the tondition of the course, and there was but one horse Injured by the running that was made public, and that was Colonel McDaniel’s gray filly Lula B., who was cut down in the second race after running three- quarters of a mile. THE FIRST RACE. ‘The first race was for a purse for two-year-olds; those by untried horses, or out of untried mares, allowed Maree pounds; if both untriod, allowed five pounds; half amile. For this event there were seven entries, tomprising P.

C, Babcock’s ehestnut colt Morphine, by Eclipse, dam Relief, 107 Ibs. Orion was the favorite, Frederick the Great the second choice; tho two being as fine jooking two-year-olds as have been brought on the course fora longtime, All of the youngsters wero fine looking, and they made a tapital race through the mud. Orion won, Mr. Bel- mons Adonis second, Lottery third. 110 120 35 35 40 35 Mignon..... moist et TUE. .2ccccece ity jo THe RACE. The youngsters had a capital start at the Orst time of asking, Lottery leading, Orion second, Frederick the Great third, Mignon fourth, the others on a parallel line, They ran rapidly up the new track, Frederick tho Great swerving across the course. When the colts and fillies reached the three-quarter pole Orion was louding by a head; Frederick the Great second, a head in advance of Lottery; the latter ono length in advance of Adovis, Mignon fifth, Morphine sixth, Primrose seventh. Frederick the Great then made auother swerve across the course; but, notwithstanding his peculiarities, be showed in front near the furlong pole, Mr, Belmont’s colt being second, Orion third, Lottery fourth, From there Orion made strong running, was soon in front, and won by two lengths, while Fred- erick the Great retired. Adonis made a capital finish, being second, Lottery third, Frederick the Great fourth, Mignon fitth, Primrose sixth, Morphine seventh, Time, 0:625s, which was capital time considering the deep condition of the track The winner 1 a hand- tomely proportioned and well developed colt, alight chestnut without white, about 15.3 He has an easy but powerful way of running, and cannot tail to bea rst rate racehorse at ali distances with age.

UNVEILING A BRONZE MONUMENT TO AMERICAN GIRL—OPENING OF THE SPRING BACE MEETING, Euaina, N. ¥,, June 13, 1876. On the second day of October last the celebrated maro American Girl was contesting @ race on the grounds of the Elmira Driving Park Association, and while passing the quarter pole she wus seen to falter a moment and then she staggered off to one side of the track and dropped to the ground dead, Her body was buried in the most «beautiful part of the driving park, which is one of the handsomest grounds im the country; and before the grounds wero c'eared that duy near.y enough money had been raisea to erecta monument to the noble animal that had died in her harnesse To-day ata quarter to two o'clock , M. that monument, in the shape of a Ife size and tife-like bronze statuo of American Girl, having been placed in position during the past few days, was anvealed to the public in the presence of an immense concourse of people. The statue stands over the remains of the horse, near the north corner of the park, between the grand stand and the club house, It rests upon a base of gray granite, containing. on cach sido a highly polished panel, eacb bearing an inscription, The statue itscl{ 18 a perfect work of art and the very picture of the mare it commemorates. The position chosen by the urtist 4s one showing the horse stripped of harness, standing at easo with the head slightly turned to one side as if sur_ veying the surroundings. Ononeof the polished panels is the inscription:—“American Girl; record, 2:163g, Winner of 150 heats in 2:30 or better, Monumtum abre renneus,”” On the other side ts thi: “‘American pei 5 Girl, Owned by William Lovell, of Now York. Foaled in 1862. Dropped dead in the ‘free for all’ race on this track, October 2, 1875.” The statue stands upon an elevation which is beautifully terraced. An oclegant pedestal vase, filied with choice flowers, is placed at one end of the terrace, and a large hickory tree throws its shadow, over it all. The cost of the monument was $2,500, and it was made by tho J. L, Mowt Iron Com- pany ot New York. Before unveiling the statue F, H. Atkinson, Ksq., president of the association, addressed the assemblage as follows :-— “Lapigs AND GENNLEMEX—Tno statue which we unveil to-day has been erected on the grounds of the Elmira Driving Park Association to the’ memory of American @irl, on the spot where ber remains are buried. Mr. Lovell, who owned great horse, pronounces the statue exact in size and lile.ike characteristics to the horse it is designed to commemorate. We do not propose to make an eqaine cemetery of our grounds, but we deemed :t fit and propor that the career of the great mare should be per- manently recorded on the spot where she met her death, ‘The statue will now be unveiled.” ‘The covering was removed amid the cheers of the as- semblago, and a speech from Alden Goldsmith, Esq., ended the coremonies, THR SPRING MERTING. After the ceremonies of the unveiling of the statue the spring meeting of the association was opened. The programme for the afternoon cmbraced two trots and a running race. The first was between horses of three minute class, for a purse of $400; $200 to the first, $100 to the seo- ond, $60 to the third and $40 to the fourth. There were twoive entries for this race, but only nine horses started—viz, C. T. Backus’ s. g. Butcher Boy, Price & Kilpatrick’s"b. m, Lottie K., J. J. O'Connor's ch. Sir Henry, David Wilsou’s b.'g.

Charmor, In the bay gelding Krie, the knowing ones claimed to discover a “ringer,” but no evidence aguinst the horse could be found, and he was allowed to go, His action In tho race showed that he 1s tar from a green one and seemed to strengihen belief that the charges made against him were founded in fact. ‘The usual delay that attends the starting of such large flolds was encountered, it being necessary to line tue borsés in every heat. The race was a well con- tested and lively ono and developed stull in some of the horses that will make them heard from in the future, especialiy is this so of Lottie K., Charmer and Lotta, The race, 1 2:34 class, contaihed us many entries as the one that preceded {t, und ten horses started, They wore KE.

Heavy odds wero given on but, when iv the first beat he came in away behind and seemed to work badly, his backers weakened considerably. He performed tho subsequent work laid out for him, however, and won the race. Lady Mills acted very badly in this race. It was only tm tho jase boat that she showed her blood, just in time to take fourth money, The purse offered in this trot was $700; $890 to first, $176 to second, $105 to third, and $70 to fourth, ‘The rumning race was fora purse of $300; $150 to first, $75 w second, $45 to third, and $3010 fourth. There were four entries, three of which started: —Jonhn Fletcher's 6, & Hartiand, Joseph Coiston’s b. f. Guilder Rose, and William Hill's ch. m. Violet. This wasa blooded race and the most exciting part of the day's sport, Violet sold the favorite in the tirst heat, whien was won by Hartland, when Gurider Rove became the first choice, it detng said that he was held tor the two last heats. Violet was considered the vest horse of the two, and if she had been well bandied wouid have taken first money, As it was Hartland won two straight beats, Violet taking second money, Following are the beats of the three races in do- tatl:— First Heat.—Charmer won the pole. Erie took the load at start, and at the quarter pole was two lengths abead of Loita, woo was closely followed by Charmer.

Erie lett his feet, when Lotue K. spurted ahead, and pressing Loua parsed ber at the haj! post, was working his way to the lead, when he broke again and went back, bUt getting his feet disputed the first place with Lottie K. Lowa bad fallen to fourth, Charnir followiug close on Erie's flank, At tho three quarter pole Charmer dashed to the front, but held the place but a moment, when Krie and Lottie K., peck and weck, passed her, It was & hot rave vetween the geiding and the bay mare up the bormestreteb, but the former won the heut by Dall @ ueck in 240.

They will row at the Dubin metropolitaa hs ge avout 1éth July, where they are likely to meet the ‘other undergraduate crew of Mr. Cowen, This crow of Cowen’s is the best which the Boat Cub can send out, aod the Barringtons and Hicksoa’s crew will henceforward be a Rowing C.ub crew.

AMATEUR SKIPPERS AT THE HELM. The Little Vessels of'the Williamsburg Club Scud Rapidly Through the Sound. The ocean schooner race of the Seawanhaka Yrcht Club was sailed yesterday over a course twenty miles to windward and return, starting from buoy No, 54, on the point of the Hook. The winning yachts, Palmer and Peerless, were steered by their owners and could not have been better handled by professionals. The breeze was steady throughout the day, and the yachta had a clean beat to windward, and ran home wing and” wing. The steamer Cyclops acoompanied the yachts, andthe Regatta Committeo and Captain Hasard de- serve the thanks of the members of the press for giving them a complete view of the race. ‘ The steamer Cyclops arrived-at the Battery at half past six yesterday morning, and started for Staten Island shortly after seven A. M. There was not a large party on’board, as many of the guosts be- lieved that the weather would be unpleasant; bat the rain that lasted during the night ceased shortly attes wix A. M., and although the morning was a httle thick aud cloudy the day turned out quito pleasant. The Cy clops stopped for a few minutes at the upper landing of Staten Island, and thew proceeded to the New York Yacht Club House, whére she lay alongside of the dock for about twenty minutes. The Rambier was already on her way to the Hook, runuing through the Narrows, and the Dreadnaught was-just weighing auchor, preparatory . to following the same track, There wasa largo fleet of yachts lying at an chor round the club house, including the Wandorer, Mohawk, Tempest, Haze, Faustine, Prospero, Vindex, Vision and Coming, Tuo Cyclops left tae club house at sixteen minutes past cight, and steamed down to the Horse Shoe, where sho arrived at bal{-past nine, passing tho Dreadnaught off Hoffman’s Island. The schooners Palmer, Idior, Ariel, Estelle, Meta, Peer- less and Rambler were cruising around the Horse Shoe waiting for orders from the committee. The breeze in the Horse Shoo was about south, and at frat it was feared that the yachts would have to start from the Scotland Lightship in order to get a beat to windward, The Cyclopa steamed to the diiferent yachts, and ‘hail- ing them informed them that tho course would be pub* lished from aboard the Cyclops when she arrived at buoy No, 544, off the point of the Hook. ‘The Cyclops steamed out past the point of the Hook aud, finding the breeze drawing a trife more to the eastward outside, the committee decided that, the wind being abont south southeast, they would give the yachts that course. The weather had entirely cleared up and the brceze was light and rather variable, make ‘| ing the selection of a course for a beat to windward rather difficult,’ The yachis were all-crulsing around waiting for orders, aud at 10h, 49m, tho Cyclops whistled the order to prepare to start, and the commit. tee bung out a large board with the course chalked out on it, Thore was about a five or six knot breeze, and tho Cyclops lay to the eastward of Buoy 534, about a quarter of a mile distant The following yachts started In the race:— VIRST OLASS SCHUONEKS, oT 6 36 +e 9 12 The starting whistle was biown at 11h. 04m. anda few minutes later the Estelle crossed on the starboard tack, under main and foresa!l, main and fore working topsails, jib and flying jib. The Meta followed in her wake under the same canvas and appeared to be moving quite lively. The Pocrless, Rambler and Palmer crossed close together in the order named, The Peerless was to windward of tho lot undcr main and toro working topsuils, jro and “flying jib; the Rambler was to leeward under the sama canvas, and the Palmer off the weather quartor of the Rambler with 4 club maintopsuil and a smail jiv topsail set. They were all on the starboard tack, heading out to the eastward, and presently the Ariel and Idler went across, both under working can- vas. The last whistle was blown at 11h, 19m., andthe Dreadnaught did not cross uutil three minutes and twenty-five seconds later, therefore losing that amount of tine, as, by the rules, any yacht crossing after the last whistle had to take the time of the last whistle, The Dreadnaught had a small club topsail to the main, and forestaysail, jib and flying jib by way of headsail, ‘The yachts crossed the line as foliows:— = H, M.
