A VERY FINE ATTENDANCE, Delightfol Weather, a Capital Track and Excellent Sport. eee FOUR CAPITAL RACES. Kingsland, Barricad: Papermaker and Coronet the Winners. —-----0--- The second summer meeting closed at Monmouth Park yesterday afternoon, and, in a racing point of view, 1 Was a success, as, with scarcely an exception, the running bas Leen most excellent, Pecuniarily the meeting could not have been satisfactory to the asso- Ciation, us the Weather hag been such that even the so journers at Long Branch could siot_ muster courage to ‘venture out in the glaring sun in the middie of the day, and it was too much to expect of people at a dis- tance to travel far to seo racing with the thermometer ranging at 100 in the shade. Still thero were days when large crowds assembled to see the high mettled Yaccr periorm, proving beyond ail cavil that horse racing is one of the most cherished sports of the better classes of our people. Four races were run yesterday, the first being the August Stakes, a dash of one mile, for two-year-olds, which was its sixth anniversary. In 1871 Experience Oaks won the event, beating General Buford’s Malita and two others in 1:48, and the year after Tom Bow- ling, with 105 ibs. on his back, five pounds of which was a penalty for winning the Thespian Stakes, won in 1:47. In 1873 imp. Saxon won the race, with 100 Ibs, up, in 1:48%, beating Scraich and two others, and in 1874 Chesapeake beat Lizzie R. and five others in 1:47. Last year Parole won it, carrying 97 Ibs, ; buw yesterday is was won by Thomas Puryear’s Narragansett colt K ngsland, currying 110 Ibs, in 1:50, which ts un- doubtedly the best time the race was ever run in. There wero five starters, apd Mr. McGrath's Leonard was agood second, being only beaten a half length. The second race was tbe Robing’ Stake, she seventh year of 118 existence, it having been inaugurated in 1870 as a two mile heat race and was continued as such for two years; but neat racing was considered too much for three-year-olds, and the race in 1872 was runasa dash. In 1870 Euquirer won the race, Kingfisher bay- ing taken the first heat, the track fetlock deep in mud, Enquirer won the second and third heats in good timo under the circumstances. In 1871 Salina won the race, beating McKinvey und two others, Then as a dash face in 1872 Meteor won, beating Experience Oaks and three others. In 1873 Tom Bowling beat Alice Mitchell and three others very easily, and in 1874 Acrobat beat Aaron Pennington, Last year Ozark beat Chesapeake this race on avery heavy track, and yes- r. Loriliard’s chestnut colt Barrieade (a full to Helmbold) won it very easily from Rappa- | bennock and Litteli‘s Leamingion filly out of Vivan diere, The third race was what was called the Consola- tion Handicap, a dash of a mile anda ball, which was won oy a horse culled Papermaker, ghat, to say the Joast, made a very suspicions rua in mile heats at the beginning of the week. . Few who saw both races will believe that the first one was runto win. The ‘wind up’? of the meeting was a steeplechase over the usual sourse by Coronet, Resolute end Weasel. The event rasa fine Qnish to the two weeks’ sport. The follow- Bg are the details of the racing:— THR FIRST RACE was the August Stakes, value $500, added to a sweep- sakes of $50 each, play or pay, for two-year-olds; the winner of the Thospian Stakes to carry five pounds extra; the second horse to receive $100 and tho third horse $50 out of the stakes; the distance one mile.

WHERE IS THE BOARD OF HEALTH? a The hot sammer geason, which brings fresh country breezes, excrciee and health to many city people, also brings to the less fortuvate inhabitants who are unable to leaye their occupations an increase of discomfort and danger, fhe extreme neat which drains our strength and cramps ous energics also intensifies | many evils which are far less objectionable in ugher seasons, In such a season as the present, when the system demands its utmost strength to endure and repel, tt behooves us to use extra precautionary and sanitary ineasures, The large increase in the death rate of the present year might be avoidod, to come ex- tent at least, by the moat simple efforts on the part of the sanitary authorities. The people who sufer most from neglect on the part of the authorities are those who are least able to he!p themswi They reside in the lower wards, where they are at the mercy of a fow men of wealth, and can bring no influences to bear fr their own relief, Some upper wards there are, too, whero the sate evils exist, and where: citizens of tho From those there naturally arises a greater resistance, however little goud may be accomplished thereby, By the citizens of the Nineteenth ward, along the Rast River, for # long time pant numerous complaints haye veen made of the impure vapors that arise from various establishments along tho rivor side. Only a day or two Since the Hzra.p received a communication from a | citizon of East Forty-second stroct, whose indignante, protest strongly describes the public sentiment of that | section, H In view of aumerous complaints made a Heraz re- porter was sent to investigate the true situation of al- fairs The result bas been to substantiate tho com- | plaints, Along the banks of the East River, trom | Forty-third to Forty-ninth street, are a collection*of | Jong establishod slaughter houses, fat rendering estub- lishments, tauneries ana the like. This portion of tho city appears to have been mado the receptacle of all the impurities of the East side, Between Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh girects. a largo manure yard is situated, adding its effluyium to the | rest. And as if these were aot enough | there stands a large petroleum factory upon | the opposite bank of the river, whoso vapors stitte tho | citizens of the Nineteonth ward and fill the river from | bank to bank with tmparity. Those various establish. | meats are, of course, a nocessity; but it is not at all necessary that they should exist in this particular and | central locality, Or, since they are placed there, it is certainly necessary that every precantion shold bo | takon to render them as little disag ble and injuri- ous as possible A breezo from an easterly direct‘on or varying trom northerly to southerly watts theso | filthy odors from Thirticth to Sixtieth strovt, and as | Those in tho | tmmediate locality of the works suffer most when the | down upon them. At this point, too, a majority of tho | people live in tenement houses, admitting but poor ventilation even could the purest of air be obtained, Dwellers in private houses upon Beekman Hill receive their full share of attention from the noxious exhala- In fact, throughout this thickly popalated ro- gion the stench is generally bad, often intolerable, A SUFFERING COMMUNITY, From all sides in the district mentioned the Hrratn reporter received but one opinion. So long had they borne with the evil that there appeared to bu a sctiled conviction that no efforts could do away with it. For yours past petitions bave been made tothe city authorities for relic, but still their demands have been unanswerea. Once, in 1862, a well remembered individual by the name of Eckel £0 aroused the neigh horhood by his fat rendering establisument that public | meetings were held, and the result was that Kekel found a means of consuming (he vapors in his iurnace. Bat @nee that time attempts have been powerioss to | eniorce the same precautions upun others, As itis | now, the causes of complaint are go numerous that | the citizens hardly know in which direction to move | first, What with the sianghter houses, the fat render- | ing and bone boiling ¢:tablishments, the manure yard | and the petroleum works—any one of which would bo sufficiently offensive—-ihe public have become para- lyzed and helpless. The tew measures that bave been taken have got been carried out, and the weak mandates ot the health wuthorities have been completely dis. regarded, Nearly all with whom the writer conversed | had some particular bodily Iment to com. | plain of, whict attributable in a great measure | to these nuisances. Among children especially tue ill | effects were seen. To be thrown into the heat of the | broiling sun during the day, and cribbed up in a closely | confined room at night, Was too much for hardy con- | stitations, and ceriainly far too much for little chil- | dren, For the pust fortmght the stench has been especially unhealthy. The resuits have aiready beeu disastrous, and children turoughout the neighborhood | are iJ] with nausea and brain complaints. Some ot the | tenement houses are a sight sufficient to repel any one. Deaths are alarmingly frequent in this quarter, and | there can be but one opinion, that the want of pure air 4s one of the principal causes thereof, 8 INDIVIDUAL SENTIMENT. $ upon Forty-fifth street, ne the lout district, considered the petroleam works at Hunter's Point were morc obvox- fous a8 a general rulo than the fat rendering estavlixh- mente, On Wedneatay evening last the stenct came river, und continued im such horrible force that ail the people were driven from the streets into their houses, where even tae close fastened windows and doors aforded but little protec. tion.

The butcher said that the fat readerers used to take the offal which they gather trom the siauguter houses to Black Rock.

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE, A visit to the rendering establishments themselves did not at all seem to improve the opinion belore ex- ate There are two principal works of this kind, ut as neither of them was voiding fat it was im presibie to judge of the real extent of the nuisance, essrs, Rafferty & Williams are the owners of a iat rendering establishieat upon Forty fourth street and the river. They have aiso been engaged in manutac- turing @ fertilizer trom bones, though they are doing nothing in this line at present, This latter ts ono of the greatest vources of foul gas and unbearabe stench. The bone boiling was usually done tn the Hight, and the fat boiling in the day time principally, The propriciors use disiniectants in their works, but their establishment has been regarded by the ueigh- borhood as one of the principal sources of pestilence. They have just completed a large condenser and furnace for destroying the gus, though the arrange- ment bas not yet been wesied. It will doubtiess prove beneficial to a certain extent, atleast. Of the estab- lishment of Messrs Schwarzschild & Sulzberger, upon Forty-tith street, much less complaint is heard, They have Jor a time used a furnace for the consumption of gas, though mapy of the neighboring inbabitants say that occasionally this preventive is not used, The objections urged against the manure yard be. tween Forty sixth and Foriy-seventh streets were com: pletely suxiained by a persunat visit to tne prem ses. A buge pile had collected, which was constantly ber increased, while not a ship was loading in the ricer, This nuisance is one t could y be abated by compelling the managers to lond the ships as fast as cole lected, As regards the petroleum works on tha oppo- site side of the river, it 15 indisputably one of the great- est scurces of the evil, Some three mouths since an article appeared in the Her\tn showing the extent of tis nuisance, but as yet Lo measures of relief have been taken. It, perhaps, belongs tnost properly to the jurisdiction of the Queens County Board of Hedith. twinly something ought to be done to abate these I pests, and that as soon as possible, They are ing the bealth of a large body of people, whose eVious protests have accompushed nothing. WHAT THE PHYSICIANS SAY. orter called upon Dr. Daniel Lewis, fith street, Jor the purpose of ob- his opinion regarding the effects of thts horrible eillavia upon the pubic health in that region. Outside Of his private practice he has been visiting physician for a dispensiry and has had occasion to visit {re- quently the poor tenement houses along F\ in close proximity to the slauchter hou: 8. ‘The Doctor said he frequently of these odorous vapor: 1d Lostify as to their olfensiveness, Of all t ved pests he con- sidered the manure deserved precedence, He at one time had four or five patients in a house on Forty-seventh street, neat First avenue, dangerously sick with typhoid fever, which ho considered was directly caused by the eitluvia from the manure yards.” Ho thought tho management of these yards Was strongly to be con- denned. inasmuch as it was 80 easy to ship the mattor instead of leaving it to coliect in such vast quanuties. His immediate neighborhood, he said, was in as healthy condition as most uther -parts of the city, but he did not include the district lying along the river and First avenue. He had many cases thore in waich the tack of pure air was mupifestly a primitive cause of disease. When the wind blows’ strongly trom the east those peo lo get a conglomeration of stencbes from both sides of the river which is strongly provocative of typhoid fever, and among ch‘idrea of the summer complaints and cholera infantum, Among other contribative causes of sicknoss there, Dr, Lewis mentioned the improperiy cleaned streets and the personal uncieauliness existing among tenement dwellers. A Little lest aversion to cold water would be highly boneficial to the health of many of these peopie, One thing he would say for them, they took their children into the streets considefably, though this was hikely occasioned by their insufferable quariere at home, Dr, Charles Milne, of No, 210 East Forty-sixcb street, said:—“There 1s scarcely an evening passes but we have to shut the windows of our house to avoid these disagrecabie odors, Something ought to be done about it, for everybody ts complaining. [| have no donbt these unhealthy vapors are occasioning considerable sickness among children in the neighborboot, They Yo with the propagation of summer disenses where ¢ in ter™@ment houses are com. peljed to close their windows, and where, in the best of times, the air is scarcely fit to breathe I don’t think the streets are properly cleaned in thie } district, por the slaughter houses as well coudacted as they might be. The vapors trom the petroieum factory al Greenpoint form one of the most disagreeable eie- ments The combination of all these evils is nauseat- ing; and though [ will not say that disease 13 increased thoreby among aduits in any perceptible degree, yet Is must leave its elects upon the population.” The statement made by both of these physteians in regard to the tiithiness of the streets can be fuily cor. roborated by the writer, who ‘imeell saw at sey. eral places the carcasses’ of animals which had beoo dead for days rotting in the streets, THE NEWARK TRAGEDY.

The inquest by Coroner Osborne over the bodies ot Adolph, Albert and Charles Thielbora, the Newark marderers, and those of Elsden, the policeman, Fiscnes and Alvers, the workmen whom they killed, was con- cluded yesterday. ‘The witnesses examined were George Witzel, Michael Berthold, Henry Ralte, Dr. Leslic R. Ward and otbvers, whose testimony presented no new facts The evi- dence taken was voluminous in its character and wholly corroborative of vhe facts already published in the Herat. At five o'clock the jury retired for deliberation and at half-past six brought in the following VERDICT: We find that Benjamin Elsden, Jr., Charles Fisehor and John Albers came to their death at the city of Newark, N.J., on Thursday, July 13, 4. D. 1876, trom the effects of pistol shot wounds at the bands of Adolph, Charles and Albert Thiethorn, and we find that the said Adolph Thielborn, Charlies Tweihorn and Albert Thielhorn came to their death at the cy of Newark, Juiy 13, A. D, 1876; that the immediate’ cause of their death was from drowning tn the Passaic River, but that this was the result of close pursuit by an excited crowd; thata large numver of stones had been thrown at the said they had jumped into the river aud were virtually dt armed; that 1 appeurs to as that stones were thrown by a large number of persons whose names cannot be ascertained. And we siy that the attack the gaid Thielhorns whe in the water was unwat raptéd, and that the parties who stoned (nem are cen- surable for their death, however satisfactory the reanlt Attained may be to the commanity; and we tecl com- pelied, 1 just ce to the public good, to say thet any attempt, luwever feeble, to exercise mob law in a well regalated conimunity meets ow condempation, and that the resuits of Thursday lust, as respects the treat- ment of the Thielhorn brothers im the last resort shoald be dixcountenaucea aud that the majesty of the wd we further recommend to justices issuing nts to apprehend dangero persons, that hercatter greater caution should be tak to notify ollicers serving such warrants of the natyre of the persons to be arrested whenever their character comes to their knowiedge, SEPH D, OSBOR: David Anderson, Timothy T, Stiles, W rand, Joseph L.
