RACING AT SARATOGA, {ast Day of the Second Regular Meeting of the Saratoga Association. 4&N IMMENSE GATHERING Cloudy Weather, Good Track and Excellent Running. FIVE CAPITAL RACES. Romney, Brother of Bassett, St. Martins, Derby and Trouble the Winners. Samaroca, August 19, 1876, Joy reigned in and around Saratoga this morning, a8 Whe sky was filled with clouds and rain began to tall at flaybreak. Every one, except those who were imme- fiiately interosted in the day’s racing, rejoiced at the prospect of rain—the tarmer, whose land and crops tre growing parched up und spoiled, being particularly fubilant at what he supposed would ve a heavy down- fall of water; but hopes for rain faded about noon, as ln the northwest tho clouds broke in picces and grad- ually divappeared, and at three P. M., the time for wettihg ready tor the races to-day, on account of the morning postponement, Broadway was all bustle and sonfusion vy the usual rush of vehicles and podes- trians making the best of their way to the race course, There was a yood attendance, but not that great display of toilets that have been observable on fulrer days of the meeting, The two Meotiugs that havo closed havo beer the most success- ful that ever took place at Saratoga, more poopie bav- ing entered the encloaures this summer than on any other year sinco the inauguration of the track in 1865, This fact, with the acknowledgod shortness of specio wm circulation, the pressure of hard times and other * Feasuns for keeping people from laying out money un- Secossarily, proves conclusively that thore 1s a grow- ing tnterest being tuken in sports of tho turf by all Basses, and it is not hero alono that this love of racing has manifested itself All the race meetings that nave taken place this year in the United States, beginning At New Orleans, then at Nashville, Loxington, Louis- ville, Baltimore, Jeromo Park aud Philadelphia, have had larger assemblages of spectators than ever before, and this seems to be conclusive proof that throughout the land a strong feoling is growing tn favor of outdoor sports. Five races were on the programme to-day, tho first being a dash of a mile and a balf, with six contestants; the second a dash of a mile, with seven startera; 9 mile race for the third; the tourth a match of three- lugrters of a mile; the fifth a steeplechase, over tho asual course, by tive horses; and these will close the Jecond meetiag of tho azsociation, but not the racing itthis place, for tho season, as on Monday next an extra meeting will commence which will last threo eonsecutivo days, with four races cach day.

MINIATURE YACHTING. ‘There was a royal time at Proapect Park yesterday, Experienced yachtamen would have been delighted to witness the intoresting experiinent on the lake. A few of them were present, and the scene was evlianced by men, who, Interested im the success of the contestants, manifested enthusiasm in the exhibition, The weather was very favorable, and when tho hour announced {or the starting arrived the surroundings were cheerful in the extreme. In the first race the prizes were silver cups, and there were entered the Millie, axxty-three inches, Judie, sixty-three inche: Vixen, sixty-two inches, all beautitul little seaooners, A prize was also offered for sloops, the pretty Bagade! fifty-four inches, showing up in Ane form There was a light breeze from the southeast, and the rakish little | contestants got off in splendid style, Tho Milhe went | to the front like a racehorse, and stood up better than many a larger representative of her type, The sioop | did admiradl, The Judie, which started last, also sailed to the satist Hof ber admirers, There were two heats across tt » following result: — Millie—First he: time, 10m. 20s. ; corrected time, 10. ; Second heat, corrected time, 10m, 45a.

A BAD DAY FOR THE RED MEN. The Montreal Club Declared the Winners. Two Well Contested Games of Polo. THE BLUES VICTORIOUS IN BOTH. Newrorr, R. I., August 19, 1876. Again the heavens smiled approvingly upon the la- crosse players, and the delicious weather and the at- tractions of the gamo brought one-fifth of the peop! of Newport to tho Polo grounds, There wore at least 3,000 persons in and around tho tev acre field, which | looked splendid with its flags and colors and snow white tents, and tho carriages filled all tho space avail- able. The immense popular success of tho game on Wednesday caused lacrome to be the talk of Newport, and those who bad not seen it were resolved to use the last opportunity, while thase who had seen it wero still inore determined to see it again. ‘The universal ver- dict is unquestionably that lacrosse is the most re- markable, versatilo and exacting of all the games of ball; that it 1s at once one of the most complicated to nd one of the easiest to underatand, and that there is nore real fun in it fer the spectators than in either cricket, polo, base ball or any other similar | sport. It i8 certain to be a great gamo | in the United States beforo long, and we! wball owe thig new and = delighttul outdoor amusoment to the Indians, who invented it, to the | Montreal Club, which consented to come to Nowport, and to the Polo Clab, whose members tssucd the invi- tation and paid the expenses of the Indians, Tho In- dians, it should be undergtood, play lacrosse as o protession. The Montreal amateura make it their pleasure, The irat game began about half-past fivo o'clock, and was played by but ten on a sido, owing to the sickuess of oue or two playors. This necossitated sone pairing off, as in Congress, and Mesers. J. V. Whito and Shearer; for the whites, and thoso great chiefs of the lroquois tribe—Jobn Delleboult and Foster— Fomained out of the game. Their absence was rogretted ‘but did not interfere with the pleasure of the day, for the twenty mon more than filled the fold and in fact made raids among the car and seats, which scat- terea the spectatora It isa maxim with printers “to follow the copy, evon if it Mies out of the window,” andj the lacrosse players would follow the ball,-even if tt spould go to the devil When it falls at the horses out of bounds, the Indian apd the white players scram! under carriages, white the mustangs get wild and there isa regular stampede of the excited lookers on. The bali gives the players no rest, aud I doubt that it ig ever still for a sec- ond, Lacrosse has solved the problem of perpetual motion; such leaping, running, bouncing, bumping, tumbling and toaring was never seen in any other game. ‘The people laughed and choored till ‘tho Tocks rang 48 this living gyroscope spun aroond the fleld tll it appeared as if overy player had gone crazy. The swallows that circled over the fold did not tly faster than the ball, and the birds could bave been oasier caught in the crosso than that elastic globe. Kven Recorder Hackett, who was,on the grounds, and who has shot many a swallow on tho wing with a pistol, could hardly have hit the ball, though | am much mistaken in bis aims if he had not Killed ao Indian, Yo-day wasa bad day for the noble redmen. Tho Indian summer bad not come, The tteld was organ- ized uuch as it was on Wednesday, Jacob defendin, the goal for the Indians and, Ricpert tor the Montreal Club, Tho players at point cover, point centre and home wero. the same, and each sidé was deticient in -two fielders, bat nobody noticed this deticiency, for the fivid 1s a free fight and as much mixed up as American tics. The umpires of the Montreal Club were Messrs. Will- fam E. McKenzie and Sanfleld MacDonald, and ter the Canghnawaga team Messrs. Howland and Griswold. Mr. Bennett was again chosen as referee, but no im- Portant question was propotod, ag the games were very good naturedly played by both sides. Tho first game was won splendidly ¥ tho aboriginal players in cignt minutes, and John Diume «eserves the credit of pulling tho ball through the goal. He ta bert the beat players, and in all the games did excel- jently. The second game wes won by the Montreal Club after an intensely oxciting battle of a quarter of an hour, in which Summorhayes, assisted by Hodgson, put tho ball between the flags. Tho third game was again won by the whites, occupying about fifteen minute fourth, which was intensely exciting and the lov; tho series, resulted in an Indian defeat If Terry and Crook can do as well as the Montreal club, to-day, how the country will rejoice, In the seo- oud game the Indian Keroniare,received a hard blow on the head which caused the blood to flow, and thus got “his crosse and crown together.” In al! of the games Mr. Bowie, of the Montreals, who won the cup offered by Mr. Bennett at the Springfleld regatta, in 1873, played admirably, and nls running was remarke able, ‘The Mon:roal Club, having won three games, were tho winners, A RUNNING MATCIL. The lacrosse games were foliowed by a running match between six Indians and tive white players from the northern end of the field to the polo goal at the southern end. The runners for the Montreal Club wero:—-R. Sammorhayes, 8, Massey, T. E. Hodgson and DL. E. Bowle ; and for the Indians, Peter Kerontare, Joo Dellaboult, Thomas Jacob, Francis and Lazarus Zacharic, and Paul Delartmier. The distance was about 250 yards aod it was run in less than thirty seconds) The exact time was unluckily not taken, for Mr. Summerhayes, the winner, revenled wonderful speed, and, in fact,’ was hard pushed, Keromure, the Indian champion, led tho race till within twenty yards of tho goal, when | Sammerhayes made a burst, and amid the applause of everybody dasted across the string three yards in ad- co, The vielory wi made more impor- | by the fact that Keronire was for | a long whiio the ehampion runner of America and lad never met his equal In fact, he | was next to Summerbayes, and then came another In- dian, and then all tho rest of the runners in beap, 30 close together that if that great brained man, Dantol Webster, had boon thore he might have put them all under bis hat. ‘There were a number of the members of the Toronto Lacrosse Club on tho grounds, who took great in- erest in the game and agreed that they could beut the Montreal Club in the next mateh, but the champions of the Newport game claim that they had not ail of their beat players with them and shat they have no fears of Toronw. All of the players will loave tor Boston on Monday, much to the regret of the public, and it is barely possible that they may play there by mvitation of the ball clubs of Massachusetts It would bo a grand mistake for Bos. ton to miss the opportunity. This evening the Montreal Clab wero dined at the Ocean House by the Polo Club. TWO GAMES OF POLO—THE BLUES VICTORIOUS IN BOTH—A DISTINGUISHED THRONG OF SPEC- TATORS, INCLUDING MANY PROMINENT NEW YORELRS. ‘wont, R. L, Augost 19, 1876. Alter the second game of lacrosse two very interest- ing games of polo were played with the following aides :. BLUES. Augustas Jay, captain; SS. Howland, John Mott William P. ‘Douglas Tad & H. Robbins , REDS. C. H. Ridgeway, captain; George W. Thorn, HH. Hunnewell, Wiluain Jay and F. Griswold, Patrman Rogers was chosen ampire. Ip the first game the respective captains charged and Ridgeway was fortunate enough to strike tho ball. | k Mott knocked the ball several times and sent it near | the biues’ goal, but Ridgeway was at his heels and struck it twice very bandsomely.

After it was pulled out Dougias, who played remarkably well in both games struck {t several timos in succession, but Ridgeway, over on the alert, sent it back again with o handsome back stroke, Augustus Jay followed with an equally good stroke for the blues, and Ridgeway was again atter \t, striking it several times before the blues could stop him. Thorn saw his opportunity to ao ,| something for bis side, which, he was convinced, waa no match for the bines, and he did it well, gotting tno ball well on toward his goal.

THR SECOND Game Another gamo toliowed, William Jay charging tor the reds and Douglas for tho blues, The latter genticman reached it first, and in three excellgnt knocks sent it outside the boundary, near his goal, and he wae re- wurded by the applause of the lookers-on, many of whom rushed across the boundary line to sce him. ‘The reds, however, alter the ball was thrown in got into the centro of the lot and Ridgeway here played bis best and sent the ball out side the boundary twice in succession, after which he agaiu got contro! of it, and until the timely arrival of Mots for the viues he had everything his own way. ‘The lattor sent it bi 4 long distance with one of bis excellent buck strokes, and following up his luck he came very hexr winning the game, and but for an ex- cellent stroke by Huanewell, who waa guarding the goal, the bail would have gone between the penuant’, Jay having dealt it a very effective blow. Ridgeway immediately “lifted” ” it, giving it a very powerfui knock. They were now all in a heap, which pleased the spectators if it did not the ours, Mott aguin sent the ball near his goal, but unnewell was on hand for the rads to prewent tt irom going through, which be did in good style. Mott again was on hand, and after playing well bo was tollowed by Augustus Jay, who struck the bali very prettily and sent it with great force ogninst the fence outside of the goal. After it was thrown in all the players into a lively scrimmage over the ball when it was n the goal of the blues. and Robbins finalty sent it through und the game wes a,ain won for the dlucs. ‘The rods wero very avxieus to play another gamo, as they had been beaten twice, but it was decided best to allow the lacrosse players to have their third game.

RUN FROM NEWPORT TO VINE- YARD HAVEN—A TRIUMPH FOR THE MAD&E- LEINE. Oak Buvuvrs, Mass., August 19, 1876. The Now York Yacht Club squadron, under ordors of Commodoro Kingslagd, weighed anchor at Newport this morning about hall-past nine o’clock, and, running out of the harbor, rendezvoused at Brenton’s Reef Lightship to proceed to this place, The Rostless and Palmer decided to remain at Nowport for a day or so longer, when they hope to join the flect, and thus the boats, snue and trim for the contest, were the Alarm, Dreadnaught, Rambler, Wanderer, Mado- leme, Estolte, Idler, Josephine, Meta, Foam, Vision, Arrow, Vindex and Windward, to- gether with the America and Alice, whose owners determined to try conclusions with the New York racers, As it looked like a dead beat to wind. ward all the way down, General Butler concluded that it was tho old America’s play. Tho flagship made her appearance in good time, and with the lightship rai ing west northwest, one milo distant, tho signal gun was fired at twenty-two minutes past ton A. Mf. Tho wind was cast, a fair breeze, the tide ebb and the sea short ‘and choppy. Ail drew away on the port tack, offshore, and then commenced what promised to be an interesting struggle. Such would have certainly oocurred had not the day been replete with baflling winds and calma, It proved an occasion of “luck shots,” when good fortune will favor a slow boat and shifts of wind leave @ speedy craft far to leeward, In every respect {twas essentially so to-day. For half an hour the yachts stood offshore to the southward, and in tho strotch the Arrow, of the sloops, and Dreadnaught, of the sebooners, did such magnificent work, and went through the water at such a tearing pace, that they stood out as long loaders ot their sister crait, A SUOCHSSYCL VENTURE. First to leave the floet was the Idler, which, at 10h. $8m., went about, inshore, to the northward. It was achanco undertaking. Tho Dreadnaught was beating her badly, and true seamanship dictated breaking tacks In tho hope of botter fortune or to submit to a worse defeat. It seemed the latter for along while, parveglarly so when the wind haufed moro to the southward, and the Dreadnaught and Arrow, being fa- vored by it in their. positions, widened their lead, in racing style, Bust this triumph was short-lived, as tho wind again shifting two points to the? northward it was greatly to the advantage of the Idior and the Vin- dex, who was in her. company, and soon the Dread- naught and Arrow wore fur to the lecward of the Idler and Vindex. The formor maintained her sapromacy and kept hoad-reaching on hor to that extent that it was poun {ruitlosé to altempt to catch her. The Vindox aiso played the same trick on the Arrow, but Rear Commodore Center's iron cutter cams to atief inside Gay Head, as she went ashore, or so it scemed, when she settled her mainsail and lowered her Jib. Itwas afterward ascertained that this was the case. » thamped on the bottom for haif an hour, when a kedge was throws over and she was pulied of BRILLIANT WORK LY TEE MADELMINE, Tho more important incident of the struggle was that of the Madeleine and her grand work. There was considerable sea, and it had been‘claimed by many of her enemies in the Queen’s Cap races that, witha beat to windward and a good deal of hes a, sho would be disgracetulay vanq 4. Hud such critics secn her performance to-duy they would change their mind very materially. At the start from Brenton Reef Lightship it was evident that the Aiertca would pay particular attention to the successtul defender of the Queen’s Cup against the Canadian chal- lenger, Tho start between them, as well ax the Wan dorer, wes very even and clever. ’ In less than an hour the Madeleine had gone to the windward of both these yachta, and they drew away from her rapidly. At 2b. 45m. the Madeleino was standing over for Gay Mead with such an excelient position, it looked that she might. even be the first to drop her anchor, At this time she was two or three iniles aboad of the America, At 4h. 15m. the Madeleine 1 crossed tie bows of the Dreadnaught, whieh yacht was | at leavt seven miles the better of it and unfavorable slants of wind caused part of this, out the Madeleine gave the America a tuir, squaro beating, where her owner boasted she was invincible, going to windward In a sea way, Never before on a run of this nd did yachts part company more widely, or thoroughly. Many of thom, by baffling winds, "a lo one Man's Land, and then work up by Gay Head, in Vi yard Sound, The wind was northeast, an Arrow artived first, Idler next, then tho Madeloine, Dreadnaught and America, in the order named, tbe balance arriving belore nive o'clock.

Soven entries for the single sculls have not arrived, but the list of crews here 1g a long one already, thore being several boats froi all tmo principal clubs, Mr. Close, of the English Trinity College erew—and the only one of the four who rowed in tho winning Cambridge ; University boat—will probably withdraw from the singles on account of o gad domestic uffliction, news having reached him of the death of his mother shortly after bis eailing for this country. He will row, how- ever, with the Trinity boys in the undergraduates’ race, LIVELY SCENES ON THE SCHUYLKILL Ascan readily be imagined, from « perusal ot tho | above long list of boats on the river, the scenes on the | Schuytkill between six and seven every evening, when the boys go out for practice, ts an exceedingly lively one. From Fairmount, where the tasteful tvy-covered stone boat houses of the Sehuytkil! navy cluster along the water's edge, all the way to Rockland, about a mile up tbe river, the ‘finish’? of the national course, a crowd of spectators, on toot, in carriages and on borae- back, line the shores in the p'casant evening twilight, They wait pationtly for the appearance of the crews, and, spite of the fact that even the beat posted boating expert cannot protend to identify them ali, the crowd evidently enjoys the eight, for they lin- ger until tho last has tarned in. THE LONDON FOUR excito the most interest and enthusiasm, and their wonderful rowing has made them the popular favorites and the admiration of boating men. Thoy have only been out once, I believe, in their four. ‘Thoy generally row iu their pair-oared or tho single shells. Last even- tng Gulston and Labot shot by the crowd in their double scull at a wonderful speed, and passed the other crews with apparcnt ease. Few of the crews row entirely over the milie and a half course, to reach which a long pull {rom the boat houses is necessary. Gulston and Labot did it last evening, however, keeping ahead of the Dublin boys, who were out for the second time since their arrival, and watching them curiously ‘THX DUKLIN CREW, Bext to the Londoners, are probably the finest looking body of men in any boat on the mver.

He followed them in one of tho diminative litte Schuylkill steam- ors, not much jargor than a ship's launch, accompanied by Commodore Ferguson, other gentiomen of tho navy and your correspondent. Thw Irihmen showed great improvement since the day before, and Brick- wood expressed his satiafaction to those about him, al- though he criticized the youngsters in the boat quite sharply. Ho touk them over the whole course, and, after considerable of what he called “smart paddling,” sung cut “Now givo usa hundred yards,’ and the frail shell shot aboad of the steamer ata splendid speed. Mr. Brickwood and the Dubliners speak in the | highest terms of the Schuyikill course, like all the visitors, They think it rather odd, however, that they cannot be allowed to bathe in it, ‘THX TRINITY COLLKOR (KNGLISH) YOUR aro just getting down to active training.
