Second Annual Summer Mesting of the Hudson River Park Association TWO INTERESTING TROTS Great Eastern and Ravus the Winners. Povcuxegxrsiz, August 25, 1876. Tho attendance at the track this afternoon was in great contrast to the immense throug of yesterday, there not being one-iourth the number present, and still it was considered a good and paying crowd. This was the last day of the meeting, and everything and every person seemed 10 bave a ect away appearance except the drivers of the horses on the track. These gentlemen, as usual, practised their annoying method of scoring time after time, without any other object than to vex the judges and the spectators. The races, however, were finished at a seasonable hour, giving strangers au opportunity of getung away by the cvening’s trains to their homes, The present meeting has been one of great protit to the as- fociation, and bas passed off as well as could have been expected, few mistakes having been mado by the drivers, and no cases are to be carried to the Board of Appeals from here, Two trotting contests came off, tho first being be- tween horses that havo never beaten 2:26, for a purse of $2,500; $1,200 to the first, $625 to the second, $375 to the third and $250 to the fourth hor mile heats, best three im five; 1a harness.

He won easily in three straight heats. The second trot was for a purse of $3,000, for horses that have nover beaten 2:20; $1,500 to the first, $750 to the second, $450 to the third and $300 to the fourth horse; mile heats, best three in five, in harness, For this event there woro but two starters, comprising Budd Doble’s bay mare Clemen- tine and R B. Conckling’s bay gelding Ravus, Susie and May Queen were also entered, but did not start, Ravus was the favorite at six to four before the start, and after being beaten tho first heat he wasa greater favorite than before, selling for $200, Clemen- tine $40, the spectators being under the impression that Splan gave Budd Doble the beat as a compiiment. Ravus won the second heat by a length, and then the betting ceased, a8 it was considered a certainty for tho gelding to win. Ho won the third and fourth with “hands down,’” THE FIRST TROT.

Hannah D, kept the lead down the backstretch, and was one length abend of Great Eastern at the half-mile pole, the latier two lengths in advance of Ella Madden, the others as before given, Time, 1:10. On the lower turn Great Eastern made a fine burst of speed and quickly passed Hannah D., and then coming on steadily, won the Neat | by two lengths, Hannah D, second, three lengths in | front of Ella Madden, the latter half a length ahead of | Gray Chief, who was seventy yards away.

Boyd, the gallant college hoy who fainted at bis ont yesterday in the Columbia boai, seems well to-day, al- though weakened from his illness. He did not go out this morning. He was really unfit. for work in jester- day’s race. With proper hould be pertestly cured by Monday. Boyd’s iliness, there is reason to believe, was caused by over traming, and the remain- der of his crew bear evident signs of too much work daring the enervating heat of summer in Philadelphia, | Other crews show the same sympioms, nowwbiy tho Trinity (Cambridge) four. These young Enylish- men are suflering trom the recent hot spell, being un- | accustomed to our climate, Jameson, the bow, who was quite ill and unable to row, is now much better, and the crew wil! probably be in good trim by Monday. Penrose, the stroke, who pulls the most gracetul oar on the river, seems to suffer {rom the heat very mucn. Hickson, (ne stroke of the Dublin crew, is also sul- fering from exhaustion, The Yale crew were out this morning, and were ap- parently in good condition except Wood, the bow oar, whose finger is still so sore that he wears « guard.

Newront, R. 1, August 25, 1876. The California players gave their second and last ex- hibition this afternoon before a large number of spec- tators, Tho Polo Ciub, to the surprise of everybody, allowed the season ticket holders to witneas both days’ sport without extra charge, notwithstanding the fact that the California games were “extra” entertainments, The sport began with Captain Mowry’s daring riding, in which he mounted and dismounted while his horse was going at full gallop, He jamped into the saddle, and behind it also, with perfect ease. He also gave a repe- Ulion of his “picking up’? forwards and backwards, Picking up backwards has never been done in this country save by Captain Mowry, and his first feat of¢ {he kind was recently at Saratoga, Buck jumping fol- lowed im the day’s programme; but the animal was unusually vicious and wild, and twice be ran among the carriages with his rider, thereby creating no little alarm, This part of the programme was accordingly omitted, as it,was thought best not to run any risk. | Tho picking up of the handkerchief followed, and | this was done somewhat better than yesterday, The riders rode at longer distances in performing this feat, All the riders succeeded in picking it up in both rounds save Baliard, who was unsuccessful both times, The lassoing was next in order, and, like yesterday, was afailure. The bucking horse was not brought forward in view of his conduct, reported above, but instead a | small white borse was led into the centre of the lot and #8 than five minutes three of the riders succeeded | in “dropping” the ropo over his head, instead of throwing it, as the spectators had been led to believe was their plan. ‘The captured animal did not run very fast, and the lassoing was, indeed, a very tame affair, and the lookers ‘on were very much disappointed. Captain Mowry did not include in the aftervoon’s sport his famous jight- ning riding, in which he changes horses, and this, too, wus regretted by everybody on the ground, THE POLO PLAYING. Polo followed, and this was epjoyed more than all the rost, as the Visitors now look upon the sport as one of the indispensabies, The Californians did not use their crooks, owing to the manner in which the game received yesterday when they used them; and in- ad, used mallets. ‘The sides were as follow Blues. —G. N. Morgan, captain; Messrs. William Jourdan and F, Figuero. Reds,—Neli Mowry, captain; Messrs, A, Ballard and P. J. Carrillo. Mr. William P, Douglass, ot New York, was choson umpire. FIRST GAMK. Jourdan for the reds, and Carrillo for the blues, charged, but the latter reached the ball frst, whea Figuero, for the reds, sent it back a tong distance, in good style, and ina second more Jourdan sent 1 be- tween the pennants und the game was won for the reds, their opponents scarcely having time to see where they were. ‘Time, two ininutes, SECOND GAME, Ballard and Jourdan charged, but both missed the ball, Ina second more ali the horses were in a beap, | when Mowry scattered them by “lifting” it, and his | success was followed up by Figtero.

Figuero and Baliard charged, the former, however, reacbed the bail tirstand took it a long distance with him, and some good playing followed. ‘The captains of both sides here made some telling strokes, Carrillo, who was the best player, was afier it in good style, and almost immediately Jourdan, in knocking it out, broke his mallet, Carrilio again had control of the ballin the centre of tho lot, where the spectators bad an ex- cellent view of the fun, After tho latter had rent ita long distance, Ficuero, for the reds, who understood polo thoroughly, sent it along distance in the opposite direction. The captains were again in close quarters, and Mowry dropped his mallet in the tray. Ballard, for the blues, at this point played well, and the cuptain of tho re seeing an excelient opportunity to send the ‘ball home, sent it a vory long distance, but did not reacn the goal.

At this point one of the members ot the Polo Ciub created no little amusement while on a mustang by trying to pick up a stick | maaner similar to that in which the Californ picked up the handkerchief, He succeeded and was londiy applauded. The bait remained for a long time near the reds’ goal, and it was evident that tho sides wore very eveuly divided, ag every inch of ground was hotly contested. Alter Figuero had played well Car- rillo came to his assistatce, and here made some of the prettiest strokes of the afternoon. Jourian {ol- lowed him for the reds, and Mowry made a good buck stroke, Carrillo, seeing that the reds were determined to win, sent the ball outside the boundary, and he subsequently had his mallet knocked out of lit nd.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION AND THE NATIONAL BEGATPA—A GLANCE AT THE UNDER WORK- INGS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIA TION-—-THE NEPTUNE BOAT CLUB DENIED A HEARING— THE CHARGES AGAINST THE ALGONAUTAS AND ATALANTAB, PHILADELPHIA, August 25, 1876, The Natiomal Association of Amateur Oarsmen has just held its annual regatta and its convention, and there is litile praise to be bestowed upon either. They were both apparently conducted in a quiet manner, but underneath all this apparent tameness there were agen- cles at work, wire-pulling, trap-springing, manwuvring and trickery, which will not add to the reputation for honorabie dealing of any of the prime movers en- gaged in tho brewing of the trouble. In the early part of the week mischief was afoot. To go minutely into tho wholo details of this business would require more space than could be devoted to it in the columns of the Haera.p, butin order that the oarsmen of the United States may understand the quarrel as it now stands the substantial facts of the affair aro the subjects of this letter, THE FIRST S110T. ‘The Argonauta Rowing Association on Monday last were summoned to attend a meeting of the National Regatta Committee to Mswer why Mr. Smith should not be disqualifed from rowing in the National Regatta, It wasa surprise to the Argonautas to receive any such intimation, as for years Mr. Smith had rowed in all the prominent racos of the country, both national and international, and to bring forth such a proposition at this late moment, even if there was the slightest ground for it, showed on its very faco that there was a motive which honorably minded men find hard to re- concile with strict ideas of fair dealing. The meeting atwhich the Argunauias were summoned to appear was called for two o’slock, iu Philadelphia, the sum- Inons to attend it was not received by the Argonautas until midday of Monday, so they had just two hours to make arrangements for. absenting themse.ves from business and get over to Philadelphia. Ot course the aflair was settled in the absence of the ac- cused, and the Argonauta crew was struck in a vital spov by the " disqualification of their bow oar. Tho tweive o'clock (midday) train brought over a number of the Argonautas, who were prepared with proof to show that their crew and every member thereof were what they claimed to be—bona Jide amateurs in the strictestierm of the word and en- titied to row now as they had done in the past, The goutiemen who went to Philadelphia on that errand are active members of the Argonauia Rowing Associ- ation and men of social s:anuing 1a New York, whose word tn commerciai matters and on ’Change would be taken without hesitation; yet here in Philadelphia, by the Nationul Regatta Committee, they were piaced in the most humi tating position and had to actually beg a hearing, which was denied them. Tho meeting of the Executive Committee of the Navional Association, which was called for eigit o'clock Monday evening at one of the boat houses in Fairmount Park, Was not held where called on account of the absence of the Secretary and other memvers of that commitiee, although the presi- dont and three of t es remained until nearly midnight for the Secretary and the Philadelphia mem- bers to make their appearance, NO SHOW FOR RILEY, The Argonautas were not alone in the quarrel, as the Neptune Ciub, of Staten island, bad also a grievance to Bet aright. The case of tue Neptune Club 16 this. Among the members of the Neptunes is James H. Riley, a good sculler and as iree a hearted, honest country boy as ever handled a pair of sculls. Am- bitious to excel in sculling, he has devoted much time to it, and, if tho real trath was known, ata pecuniary Joas to himsell, Mr. Riley bas rowed on Saratoga Lake as an amateur in two international regatias, has rowed at Troy, at the National Regatta, and has rowed ov the Kill yon Kull in the regattas of the Nepiune Ciub, Such men as Courtenay, of Union Springs; Yates, a western scuiler of good reputation; Julian Kennedy, of Yale, and Thomas Keator, a junior cham- pion of Saratoga, bave rowed with and against Me. Kiley and have never entered a pretest or regarded him aga professional. Notwithstanding this the question regutdiog Mr. Riley’s status as an umateur being Lrought up before the Executive Committee of Ama- teur Oarsmen it was resolved to disqualify him at a meeting at which none of the Neptunes were present to speak in bis defence. On the application of tne Neptunes to have a fair and candid hearing of Mr. Riley’s case, in which they would have ap opportunity of appearing, another meeting was called, and them and there after a series of cross questionings to alr. Riley and the Neptune men and the reading of numerous affidavits, Sr. Riley was duly qualified as ah amaieur oarsman, This evidently did not suit some of the | members, who appear of being resolved to kill Up | Neptune seuiler whether guilty or not, so another meet. ing was called by the Secreiary, aad Mr. Riley was again disqualified by the influence of the Albany and | Puiladelphia men working together. The Neptune Club delegation at this meeting were not even aiforsed an opportunity of being heard, und yet those who pre- sented themselves on behalf of the Neptunes may weil claim the privilege of being heard in the detence of any iman because of their standing in social and business cirees of New York. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The meeting, or rather tho attempted meeting, of the executive committee of the National Association last Monday night was a disgraceful exhibition ou the part of some members of that committee to avoid meect- ing ap issue which honorable and fair dealing de- manded, After waiting and huating for hours Mr. Dexter, the President of the National Association, who had travelled ail the way from Providence, R. L, to Philadelphia to attend a meeting of the executive com- mitwee called for that day, met Messrs, Eustis, Craft, Atkin, Garield, Crumbser and Parker, aud the three last named gentiemen refused to bold the meet. ing or consider any question. They were convinced on everything und that was enough, They would hear nothing more, They Would pot even listen or read a word of testimony in the Riley case, and one of the committee went so far as to reject unopened, and almost with insult, a letter of introduction fro: e of the highest — oii in the State of Pennsyivania introducing a gentieman from New York who bad visited Philadelphia in behalf of Mr. Riley, The Presi deut of the Neptunes, as well as Uapiain Delafield, Yainly attempted to convince the gentlemen of the Executive Bourd who were #0 prejudiced that all they wanted was a fair hearing, justice between man aud man and an opportunity for a good man to test his skill ag @ sculler With the best oarsman in the country, All this was denied, aud disgusted and humiliated the Neptune delegation was forced to leave Philadeiphia, wiltiogs even getting ‘ibe slightest show’’ and not at all favorably impressed with the fairness or disintor- estedness of the members of the Executive Commitice who denied them What every honest nian has a right to have who claims it—a fair hearing. bwithstand- ing the indignity to the Neptunes, Captain Delafield applied to the International Regatta Committee wo be aulowed to enter his double scuil crew aud single, but this committees had not time to consider the matter, so refused and fell back on the other committee. By this ‘action one of the best ainateur sculiers in the country is prevented from rowing in the international regatua. The treatment of Mr. Edward Smith, the bom of the Argonauta crew, was equally contempubie. He Was sugimoned to appear and auawer acharge preter- | red by Captain Hills, of the Beaverwycks, Though il | he auswered the summons, left his business and went on to Philadelphia. The’ time for meeting and for trial came, the accused was ready, bui the judges were not, A postponement occurred ; the man who bad rowed in 100 races was ready to stand up and answer, but his prosecators were no& At length the | great committee met im one of the boathoases, and afer Lours of patient waiting on the hospitable stoue steps of the heuse in Fairmouut Vark the Argonautas were admitted to the council cuamber.

Alter a painful, | humiliating investigation the matter was referred to a committee, and after some days’ delay it was decided that Mr. Sinith Would be allowed to take part in the International Regatta, uniess, indeed, some other move may be made (o prevent him, The Ataianta crew was subjected to a like annoy- ance.

Never were men moro worried and bothered in their lives than these same Argonautas, Atalantas and Neptunes on the evo of a race. insinuations, hints, jobs, slurs and everything that could annoy men were brought to their knowledge, and the men teit their humiliation and wished from their bearts they were well out of it.
