Jockey Club have spared no effort to make the meeting @n attractive and enjoyabie one, and the New York public have never fai'ed to show their appreciation of ‘the way in which these mectings are managed. The cool, bracing Septomber air will add speed to the horses’ feet, and, after the long rest they have had, we may expect tosee some lively going on the track, For ‘weeks past the trainers have been busily at work get- ting THEIR FAVORITES IN CONDITION, and the knowing winks they exchange when ap- proached for information of what their horses are doing bespeak much confidence. The attendance dur- ing the present mecting will doubtless be the largest Jerome Park has ever known. Our summer wanderers abroad have returned; tho seaside and country are de- serted for wintor quarters in town, and in addition to Our usual population we have with us over 200 000 strangers, who think their trip to the Centennial incom- plete without avisit to New York. They will add largely to the attendance at the races, for many of them will Not leave us witbont taking with them the recollections of a day or two at Jerome Park, The betting men, too, Bre ip high spirits at the chance to exercise their judg- ment in picking out tbe winners, and already conflict- Ing opinions have been recorded in the pool sellers’ books, backed with large deposits. THR BRTTORS who back only the favorites or take the ‘long end” it is called already see their horses first to pass unaer the string, while the backers of the fleld or the takers of the “shor: end’’ are nervously calculating their chances of winning. The road through Central Park, Macombs Dam, Jerome avenue, Bloomingdale road and, in fact, every chanuel leading to the races will to-morrow be alive with fashionable equipages, Qiled with pleasure seeking people. Extra trains will be run from the Forty-second street depot to accommodate tho crowds who will go that Way and every arrangemont posgible will be mado to facilitate travol during the day.

LAST DAY OF THE FALL TROTTING MEETING— GOLDSMITH MAID AND W. H. DERBY THE WINNERS, About 2,500 people assembled at Fiectwood Park yesterday afternoon to witness the decision of the “open to all” race for a purse of $4,000. There were only three entries originally, but the names were those of Goldsmith Maid, Judge Fullerton and Lucille Gold- dust, allknowa clippers, and thus the interest to note their performance reminded the old turtmen of times gone by. Untortunately the already limited fleld suffered a reduction in the withdrawal of Lucille; yet it 18 only fair to the management to advise that she was expected to be on hand, and not until one o’slock was she given up. Charley Green had the mare at the track last week, but took her home at the time of the postponoment on account of bad weather. When he did so it was with tho assuranco that at the calling of the race sbe should be at the Score, Some unexpected circumstance provented this consummation, and it was universally regretted. As many of the spectators were ladies the grand stand and club house balcony presented a pleasanter sight than has long been the good fortune of the regular attendant to witness, So the ladies, in their bright and rich attires, the warm sunshine and the constantly moving mass of men and youth made the opening scene to the afternoon sport quite delight(ul. Tho contest in a measure was somewhat a disappoint- Mout AS was anticipated, the Maid beat Fullerton quite handily, and the time was so slow that hardly a cheer was evoked fromm the throng. That she was not to be sent for any low noteh was given out to a favored tow by her driver, as on Saturday next sbe bi mn en- gageraent at Puitadelphta to again make the attempt to beat her record, 2:14 Consequently the result of the event seemed a little tame to those familar with the speed of tho contestants, Still the exhibition was pleasaut, and perhaps that atones tor many drawbacks, A wagon race, sweepstakes of $25 each, with three entries, flaished the programe. W. E. Weeks’ sorrel gelding W. H. Derby won it 1n throo straight heats. “ormEN TO ALL”? It was not Jong beiore the majority present ascer- tained that Lucille Golddust bad been withdrawn, Shortly after three o’clock the judges called forthe horses, and the Maid, with Williatn Doble behind her, and Fullerton, with John Spiau in the sulky, duly responded 10 the summons. First Heat.—Average of poola:—Maid, $50; Fuller. ton, $9. Time betting—$25 to 38 that the Maid would not beat ‘‘oghteen;” $20 to $12 she would not beat “nineteen,” and $30 to $21 sho wouldn't beat “ninetcen and a hail.” Fullerton won the pole. The fourth trial they got away bead and head, trotung with tne precision of ma- chinery.. Fullerton put his best toot foremost at once, and on the tarn was three lengths the best of it, He held this advantage, passed the quarter pole in 34 seconds, but along the backstretch the Maid began to shut up the daylight, and, after ono of her peculiar skips, increased her speed, so thut ut the balf- mile, in 1:0734, Fullerton wag showing the way by but one and a bait lengths, By the rocks the Maid shot ahead of the Judge, when the question of the heat was practically settied,” Sho was three lengths in advance at the three-quarter pole, in 1°434;, aad, coming along in ber smooth and telling way, beat Fullerton four lepgths under the wire. The mile was not tust—2:21%, Second Heat. —Pools —$20 to $6 the Maid does not beut “nimeteen;” $25 to $9 that she doesn’t beat “twenty.” The word was given the second time of asking, with the horses on very even teria Tho heat easily told, Rusting around theturn tho Maid drew away from the white-faced Judge, and at the quarter pole, 1 3834 seconds, led the dance two lougths, Along tbe buckstretch Spian called tor a littie more steam, and bis handsome chestnut responding, tho Maid’s advantago was reduced to one length, This ‘was but for an istant ooly, as at the balf the Maid was two and a half lengths away, and maintayning this ade ‘Vantage she swung herself past the stand tue winner of the beat, Just that for ahead. The half waa done in 1:07%, three-quarters tn 1: 45, and the mile in 2:213¢. Third Heat.

The mile was in 2:24; and thus ended the “open to all” race. ‘TUR WAGON KVENT. To fill out the afternoon a sweepstakes of $25 each, caich weights, to wagon, was ugrced upon between W. E.

Second Day of the Inangural Breeders’ Centen- nial Trotting Meeting at Suffolk Park. The Continental Race Won by Thorndale in Three Straight Heats. Purtapatruta, Sept. 27, 1876. ‘The track to-day was in superb condition, but the wind was so high and swept so fiercely over the grounds as to interfere greatly with the time record. Still there was good trotting, and the horses showed as much speed as was anticipated by thom, all adding to their previously established character. The weather was pleasant notwithstanding the wind, and thoso who Were at tho Suffolk Pari: this afternoon had a pleasant time of it, There was not so large a congregation of peopie as was expected; but one reason for their ab- senco was tho great attraction at the Cen- tenniat grounds on account of its being “Peunsylvania Day,’? which was considered the great day of the year. There were more people at the Exposition, it was said, than on any day since the opening, many of those who had come to Philadelphia to geo the trotting going with the crowd to the Centen- nial instead of attending the Suffolk Vark track. In compliment to the breeders, who, by entries and Personal attendance, have liberally seconded this at- tempt to start the new feature of trotting colt meet- ings, Messrs, Kellogg ana Conley havo engaged Gold- smith Maid to appear on the track on Saturday next and start to beat her own record of 2:14 Many of the gentlemen attending tho meeting, and particularly among those from remote points, have never seen the acknowledged Queen of the Trotting Turt, and their desire to see ler perlorm was £0 generally expressed among them that a liberal inducement was offered incase sho accomplished tho feat. Doble is sanguine that if the track and day are good the old mare will be found capaole of outstripping any previous performance. Sho is in the highest pitch of condition and never so creat as this season. There were two trots during tho alternoon, tho first being the Continental race, for stallions of all ages that havo nover beaten 2:40, for a purse of $2,600; $1,200 to first, $650 to second, $400 to the third, $250 to the fourth; mile heats, best thrée in five, in har- ness. The second trot was tho National Cup, valuo $1,000, for stailions; to be awarded to the horse mak- ing tho fastest mile during the meoting, Special trials were to bo made by fivo stallions. In the Coutinental race there were originally thirty- five nominations, thirty of which paid half forfeit and de- clared out on the 1st instant, leaving five starters only or the race. Theso were FE, Thorno’s bay stallion Thorn- date, Isaiah Ryndere’ bay staliion Aberdeen, H. A. & J. 1. Barclay’s brown stallion Banker, G. F. Da’ chestnut stailion Robert Fulton and K. Penistan’s bay stallion Nil Desperandum. Aberdeeu did not start, as he was lame in the ankle and had to be withdrawn, much tv the chagrin of his owner. Banker was also withdrawn on account of lameness, which reduced the starters to three, ‘Ihorndale was the fuvorite in the city in the pools, but un the grounds poo! selling was not allowed, and what little betting was done was in the old-fashioned style of ‘17ll lay you a hundred to thirty the Thorndale’ wins’? “Done.” And a few bets of this kind were all that transpired during the afternoon.

C., Sept. 28, 1876, Tho second day’s shooting at Benning’s Range by the Irish, Scotch, Australian and Amorican rifle teams commenced with the firing at the 900 yards range, The plattorms for the marksmen occupy the same positions as during the 800 yards shooting, but the tar- gets have been set back 100 yards, The “spotters” are bow more familiar with their work, and the result of | each shot is quickly posted, and asa cunsequence the firing procéeds more rapidly. These contests are in no sense international The match has been erroneously stated. ‘The shots were originally intended to be merely exhibition shote, and uo general prizes were offered. Th: tion of the Irish ard Scotch citizens of the District in offering prizes for the members of the Irish and Scotch teams making the highest score in the three days’ shooting, caused the General Commit- teo to prepare a like prize for the Ausiralian team, and the shooting has now assumed the character of matches: between the individual members of the foreign teams? and will be so regardea, although the shooting will continue in mixed squads as on Tuesday. The three days’ firing of the foreign teams will constitute a match, and the prizea will be awarded to the members of each team who shall have made the highest score, No prizo has been offered for the members of the American toam to compete for, and they will continue their exbibition sbots in conjunction with the foreigu- ers, THR sqvaps.

During the firing of the first aud second squads an accident occurred which, although slight, might have proved fatal. Rathbono'and Luke were ‘on the plat- Jorm and Rathbone fired, scoring a buil’s-eye on Luke's target instead of his own. The marker, thinking Luke had made the shot, raised his trap, and Luke at tho sume instant fired, striking the staff of the danger sig- nal, knocking off a splinter, which hit the marker tn tho face, making a slight wound. ‘The first and socund squads finished firing at about twonty minutes past two P. M., when the third and fourth squads immediately commenced, the third squad using the leit and the fourth squad the right target. The arrival of trains during the firmg of theso squads increased t F of spectators to over 1,000, includ- ing many ladies, Thorburn, of the third squad, took a position on the ground between the platforms used by the other contestants, and held it during the entire shooting. THE GREATEST EXCITEMENT of the day was alter the regular shooting, and was caused by tho skilful firing of Luke, of the Scotch teum, and Canifleld, of the American who tied six times, neither having failed to se The excitement became intense when pe 4 for bis next snot.

Major Leech warmly thanked the committee for the hospitable reception and attention that the Irish team had received.

That official stated positively that the bat.k was sound at that moment, and it was only out of regari for the best interests of ‘the deposiiors that the trustees determined last Friday to take the present action. Dollar tor dollar can be paid if an honest man 18 appointed receiver. Tho cost of the bank bu:lding—tne only real estate held—will be found in the books; the upper part of the structure 18 rented for Masonic lodye rooms, and it 18 well adapted for such purposes; ail the mortgages are on first class eity property and ‘the securities aro good. ‘The only two salaries paid by the bank wero those of the cashier and the porter, the resident baving served the de positors for seven years without one cent of compen- sation. Mr. Frobwoin was willing at any moment te submit the books of the bank to any persons legaliy en- titled to inspect them, and expressed himself ag being anxious to be relieved by @ receiver from his arduous labors.
