j AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB ws _—__e uguration of the Fall Racing Meeting at Jerome Park, POOL SELLING ON THE EVENTS. The Horses in Training on * the Grounds. The fall meeting of the American Jockey Club will ‘De inauguratea te-day at Jerome Parl From many indications, among them the rich and varied pro- gramme and the camber of horses on the grounds in training, the reunion promises to be exceptionally interesting and brilliant, Nowhere in Ameriea ean the lover of racing eujoy himeclf so well as at this lovely course in tho valiey of Westchester. And nowhere in the Jand can ho witness keener contests, for "tis here the pick of the thoroughbreds perform the oftenest and struggic the greaver for supremacy. Extending over soven days there are thirty- three events to be decided. These cannot do otherwise than draw immense crowds to the beau- tiful track, for this is the last meeting of 1876 that the public will witness hereabouts. We are now at that time of the yearwhen trainers and jockeys begin to feel their occuprtion for a time will soon be gone, and throngs of New Yorkers, appreciating this fact, will not Jose the last chances to note the elosing triumphs at Jerome. Aside from the brilliamt sport anticipated, a ‘Visit to the course is well worth the making. Jerome Park is always in regal beauty at this season of the year, The wealth of Nature’s surroundin, attired in the richest of autumnal livery. Parple, gold and erimeon mect your eye at every turn, wuile the sloping hillsides and levol lawns in their em- erald loveliness, form a pictare not easily for- gotten, With fine weather, this turf fixture, as in times past, will be productive of thorough enjoyment, The programme to-day is a richone. The sports will open with short spin of three-quarters of a mile for a purse of $400, with weight allowances for beaten Maidens, Boven horses will doubticss respond to the ‘dell of the judges in this race, these being Freebooter, Madge, Rhadamantnus, Cycione, Tigress, Little Belle and Leamington II. Then comes the Jerome Stakes for three-year-olds, éash of two miles. which closed with forty-three nom- anations, Of these four only will probably face the starter, but the quartet will make merry work, and he who picks the winner will be lucky. A, Belmont’s Fiddlestick, Charles Reed’s Red Coat, George L. Loril- lard’s Sunburst and Coionel McDaniel Bassett are the number. Each aud ail are rare per- formers, and the winuer is likely to know he bas bee: ing race. Tho regult of the Jerome Stakes may give a faint idea of the probable winner of the Dixie Stakes, at Baltimore, two weeks Jateron, McGrath's anstites won thia race last fall ‘Third on the list is the Nursery Stakes, for two-year- olds, one mile, Nine of the nomimations will surely come to the post. . There are Paryeur & Go.’s Top and land, Clabaugh's Cloverbrook, McDaniel’s Prince- » Lorillard’s Botnbast, G. L. Lorillard’s Laciler, ton, Lougstaif’s Dr. Hewitt, Beimoat’s Susquehanna and MeGrath’s Leonard. A finely contested race ma: snc. Mr, Belniont’s Patience was last year’s winner.

The October number of Watson's Raciag Guide is Bow ott, and will be for sale this morning at all places where turimen ‘most do congregate,” It has been coretully revised, some errors in (ho last number having been corrected and aduitional information given. Among other axefil information is a correct jist of tho entries for the Jerome Park, Nashville aud Maryland meetings, THE RIFLEMEN. BANQUET TO THE SCOTTISH TEAM—vIsIT# TO PLACES OF INTERRST AT THR NATION'S CAPITAL, TROTTING AT PHILADELPHIA. a Third Day of the Inangural Breeders’ Meeting at Suffolk Pa: The Republic Race Won by Sadie Be'l, and Blackwood, Jr., Made the Best Time for the National Cup. Purtapgremia, Sept, 29, 1876, The track was in very fast condition to-day, but again the wind was so high ag to materially interfere with the speed of the horses. The attendance was very fair and the trotting much admired by the spec- tators. The event ot the’ day was the Republic Race, which was a very interesting ono after the first heat, the horses acting -very uusteaaily at the beginning, but behaved better afterward. The other trotting events were trials (or tho National Cup, three stallions having to trot three timos, aud the one making the best time to win, It will be remembered that Governor Sprague and Sam Purdy trotted yesterday, and to-day Sam Purdy and Blackwood, Jr., mado trials, the latter making the best time go far in his twotrials. To-mor- row Governor Sprague, Sam Purdy and Blackwood, Jr., will settle the matter as to which is entitled to the cup. In the Republic Race thero were originally twenty- five entries, fifteen of which paid half forfeit on the Ist of the present montb and declared out, ton paying ten per cent and rematuing in. These were L. Hf. Ti- tus’ brown filly Echora, L, Horr’s brown filly Girl K. Queen, T. McConneil’s chestnut filly Sadio Bell, W. B. Pet's bay colt Montezuma, B. J. Treacy’s chestnut filly Lady Patchen, Wilson, Sidney & Oingman’s chest- nut stallion Post Bay, Pepper & Macey’s brown colt Wooufora Chief, C. Backman’s chestnut filly Mirenda, R. Steele’s bay colt Blazo Medium, and H. C. McDow- ell’s bay filly Belle Hewétt, Tho last three named were withdrawn, Sadie Bell won the race after four heats, Woodford Chief taking the third beat, The winner ts a pale chestnut, with cream mane and tal, and has four stockings of about the same ovlor, She is fifteov, bands one inch bigh, slightly but gracefully for She trots vory squarely, and, when at ful sp re is room to roll a barrel between her hind legs, She was sired by Oden Bell, tho pedigree of her mare boing un- known, She is owned by T. McConnell, of Pungo- teague, Va She is remarkable creature for the chances eho bas had, as her present owner states that no care was taken of her until she was three years old, when she began to develop speed, and the man who raised her sold her to Mr. McConnell for $300. There is money in her, Tho colt that won the third heat, Woodford Chief, is avery fine looking horse, and seems to be poseessed of great speed, that will show iteclf when ho is driven by an artist, He has trot. ted in sever. races this summer, but his heat to-day was tho best he ever made and gives arecord of 2:30. Girl E. Queen disappointed her adinirers greatly on this occasion, She certainly wai not as good a trotter in this race as she was a year ago at Lexington, when sho trotted five heats with Post Boy. ‘She looked as if she has had too much work and should be let up. Mr, Treacy’s ily Lady Patchon is a beauty and with age will make a grand trotier, She requiros work in the hands of a* master who will uot overdo things, Her gait 1s elegant and practice will steady her, Echora, the California filly, 1s a very good trotter, having splendid action, bat she, too, re- quires good handling and careful driving to keep her quiet in her races. Her gait is faultless and shoula be preserved, so that when sho 1s fully matured she will retain her action with acquired strength, which will make her a favorite on tho trotting turf. The follow ing are the details of what took place:— THM REPUBLIC RACK. First Heat,—Sadie Bell, tho favorite, at 2 to1 over the field. Echora was first away, Montezuma second, Sadie Bell third, Woodford Chief fourth, Post Boy fitth, Lady Patchen sixth, Girl F. Queen seventh, There were a number of breakups on the upper turo, but Sadie Bell, keeping her feet, soon was in front and leading several lengths, At the quarter pole, which was passed in 38 geconds, Sadic Bell led four longths, Echora second, Woodford Chicf third, Montezuma fourth, Girl E. Queen fifth, Post Boy sixthy Lady Patehen seventh, several of them breaking badly on the way. Sadie Beli, however, trotted very steadily, and at the half-mile pole, which she passed in 1:15, she was ng six iengths, Montezuma second, Echora third, Girl K. Queen fourth, Post Boy fifth, Lady Patchen sixth, Woodford Chief seventh. ‘There ap- peared at this time that there would be at least four of the horecs distanced, so far were they behind tho leader. Going around the lower turn* Sadie Bell | trotted very moderately, which allowed those behind | her to cioso up the daylight, and coming up the homo- stretch Sadie Bell trotted very little faster than a Jog. Bhe passed under the string a winner by a length, Montezuma second, three Jengthe ahoad of Woodford Chiet; Poet Boy iith, Girl E. Queen sixth, Lady Patchon seventh.

When Sadie Bell reached the | quarter pole she was leading six lengths, Kchora second, three lengths in front of Montezuma, the Intter | ono length in advance of Post Boy; Girl E, Queen fifth, , Woodford Chief sixth, Lady Paichen seventh, Time, 37 sevonds. Sadie Beli opened tho gap to” eight lengths on the backstretch, and carried this advantage to the half-mile pole in 1:153¢, Eebora second, Monte- zama third, Post Boy fourth, Girl E. Queen fifth, Wood. | ford Chief sixth, Lady Patel seventh. Sadie Bell kept the gap open around the lower turn; bat coming up the homestretch sho as before trotted very le.surely, allowing the others to gain on her, and as she passed | under the etring ebe was only a length abead of Wood- | ford Chief, who trotted the Jast balf mile very fast. The latter was balf alength in front of Montezums, Echo} fourth, Post Bor Atth, Girl BK. Queen sixth, | Lady Vatchon aeventh. Time of tho beat, 2:34 3g.

[From the London Standard, Sopt, 16.] Tho arrival of American papers, and a letter from the special correspondent of the Sportsman in Amor- ‘oa, have now given us {ull details of the racing for the amateur champion fours at the Centennial Regutta of Philadelphia, From first to last every detail points to bad or ineflicient mavagement, and thoroughly con- firms the opinion which we expressed more than a week ago, that it was hardly likely that oaramen of the anding and experience of the Loudon Rowing Club crew would have taken sach a decided stop as to with- draw altogether rom the regatta unless there had been the soundest reasons for such a course of action, It seems that, in accordance with the conc'usion which we at tho time drew from the teror of telegrams, tho Watkius crew so fouled and hindered the London boat thet the Beaverwyck boat which, upon ‘‘puljlic form’ iu preceding heats of the regatta and in other recent regattas, was not within a dozen lengths of the Lon- dou boat, was enabled to steal ahead and to secure a commanding lead while London was thus hampered. When London overhauled Beaverwyck the latter. then commenced to foul them io their turn, The whole pro- ceeding looks very like a ease of collusion between the two American crews. When we hear nlso that these # culled American amateurs are common mechantes wh: in England, would not bo allowed to compete for ama races, we van better understand the adoption of euch tacti¢s as We Buspect Were practised, The special correspondent of our contemporary, the Sporteman— who writes with the tone of a man who understands and practises rowing, abd not as @ tere reporier—ex- Presses his opinion that, with the excepuon of tho American University crows, not one of the competitors against London would have been accepted as qualided amatours at any English regatta, VERY SEVERE ON MR.

MENICAN. ARPAIRS. THE REVOLUTION ON THE WANE, The Change of Ministry To Give a Permanent Peace. THE OPERATIONS IN OAJACA, During the course of an interesting conversation whicb the writer had with Dr. Juan N. Navarro, who for the last twelve yoars has represented the Republic of Mexico as her Consul General in this city, that gene tleman exprossed bis strong conviction that peace would speedily be re-established all over the country, Consul Navarro, in common with all educated and intelligent Mexicans, deeply rogrets the fact that thera, ia in Mexico a considerable number of people who do not thoroughly understand the true spirit of the demos cratic institutions which govern the country. These people, not comprehending the beautitul system and perfect order upon which the theory of republican laws is built, wrongly believe that republicanism aud an unbridied license for every man in the community to do what be picases are one and tho same thing. Men lke Cortina, Negrete, Canales, Garcia de la Ca- dena, Guerra and a food many others crroneously think that when the government doos auything ob- noxious to their preconceived notions of good policy they are only oxercising a right which every citi- zen is supposed to possess in rushing to arms for the purpose of UPSETTING THE GOVERNMENT, never pausing to think that in their mad efforts to do 40 they destroy the peace of the land, prevent progresg and throw the country back into that chaos from which every one of her sons is most anxious to free her, A fow of those at present in arms against the governinent are doubtless good and conscientious bute mistaken men, while by far the groater part of them ig composed of adventurers, bandits by profession,’ amd revolutionary characters who could never live in peace under any government. Certaimly President Lerdo do Tejada has a delicate task to pers f in reconciling the factions which have sur- vived the French war and the struggle against ¢ ed Empire. In those days, when Mexico » the arm of every one among her sons who believed tm 4 republiean formof goveruinont, it frequently became necessary, for the time being, to admit into the army some men who tn normal periods would not be toler- ated there. For this reason Negrete, Canales, Guerri Cortina and the rest of them obtained a footing ani established ocertein claims to consideration which the government could not well ignore, Afterward their in- solence became such that they bad to bo snubbed amd) curbed, checks upon their unbecom ng conduct which! they resented by iying to armas against the logal gor- ernment established uuder the constitution, and taking with thom the few deluded and misguided followers who were mad enough to risk their lives upon a des- perate {ssue, General Porfirio Diaz is aman of some, natural and acquired ability, who in the past has lent important services to the énase of his country; but the fri flattery of his ds and praises of ‘admirers, who finagine that he is a littie Napoleon, bave fairly) turned his bead. From being at one time a defender of law and order he has now converted hinsolf into the contemptible eharactcr of a professivnal oflice- sooker. Ho imagines that he 1s destined to fili the Presidential chair with more success than the !mmor- tal Juarez himself, if that were possible; and he is supported In lis silly pretensious by THE LAWLESS CHARACTERS who expect to mend their wretchod fortunes at tho expense of the public purse. Nogrete’a character is simply infamous, Ho ebiained promotion byl ying his colonel to a tree and assuming command of the regiment which he had entered as a private. His first occupation was that o/ a tinsmith, He served the church party uuder Zuluaga and Miramon whilo thera! was a ebred of {t together. At the time of the French invasion be was received into the army and served with distinction for a while, until his wild maula for gambling, drinking and Works practives, made It necessary for Juarez to sep-: arate him from all eomimand. He quixotically os poused the cause of Gencral Jesus Gonzales Ortega, who in the year i865 aspired to the Presidential chalr,, with ne better right than Diaz has now. He becam an enemy wot only to the governinent, but a traitor In heurt to the country, for shortly before the fall of the, so-called Empire he was found in negotiations with the Ministers of Maximihan, who contemplated re- ceiving him into service und sending the traitor to raid) in the State of Vera Cr Although theso wild schemes of treason fell to tho grou he has, after being so frequentiy pardoned by an over, indulgent Executive, availed himseit of every oppor-, tunity to disturb the peuee of Mexico, . Ho has sunk to the lowest depths of infamy as a gambier, und worse.

He 4 revolutiontst by preference, and has for a putaber of. years kept the State in hot water by his desperate ex- pedients, sometimen attended with mucn bloodshed, whereby he acquired power. It world not bo saying tov inveh to assert that nearly wil the petty leaders Who are now in the field here and there with a few followers at their bac are of the same cCiass as those just mentioned. It was natural that the government should concede something to conciliate such poople; but the favors which -they recoived only scomed to serve as preiexts ior asking still further privileges, uatil a time come when the’ Nations!
