AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB, Fourth Day of the Fall Racing Meeting. Grand Attendance and Close Contests. SULTANA WINS THE ANNUAL SWEEPSTAKES, Waco, Bombast, Piccolo and Outcast also Victors. —_—_-—_— Jerome Park yesterday was in the fall height ofitsat- \wactivoness, The weather wasall that could be dosired, snd although in the early forenoon clouds which threat- wed storm crept from out the westorn horizon, by noon Sime the sun was shining in its fullest splendor from a Bloudiess sky. To say that the special trains which Jeft the Grand Central depot for the station near the track were crowded, would bo but halt telling tho Bory. The seats wero all filled in every car, and a tightly packod row of passengers stood in the aisles of almost every one thovgh every train had from four- ‘een to double that number of cars, In fact there were tour or five ordinary crowds merged intoone. Whether \t was the bracing weather, or the conviction that ®very man had, who had bought a pool on some horse or who intended to buy a pool on some horse, that hig particular choice was to come in the winner, or whether it was the thought of the morrow boing Sun- @ay when he would be able to go to church and enjoy ® quict little doze im acorner of the pew while the clergyman would be exhortiag Christians to awaken to the dangers that threatened their happiness Dereaticr, which put ry body in such good bumor, it would be hard to say. It must have been one of Shese things, orit may have been allof these things combined. ON THE WING. The crowds on the. trains were not made up of the Material that generally contributes itself to swell a trowd on public occasions. There was not the first tymptdm of the presence of the gonus rough on any train and if there was tho creature saw to it that he assumed tho virtue, if he had it not, of being a gentio- man—so far as outward appearance and respectablo bearing were concerned; if present at all, ho was in too respectable a company not to be detected and treated accordingly if his natural self was once revealed. Indeed by far the larger number of the passengers were apparently business men and others who, seemingly, had takon a Saturday to them- selves and wero determined to make a right pleasant fay of it. There was, too, a very large numbor of the fair sex among them, and this made the trip to the track ‘more than usually pleasant one, at least for those who had the delightful fortune to be insach envied tompany. When the first train drew up to the Jerome Park station thero wag nota cloud in the sxy, whilea gentle breeze came down from the woods rendering the air clear and cool, tempering the sctn’s rays Just enough to make the walk, (even to those who, not too prudent by far, had their light overcoats on,) over the green sward and up the pathway to tho woods a delight instead of a labor, Tho scene was one of lile and animation as thecrowd with eager, happy and ex- pectant taces came straggling from out the cars one by one and fell into little groups and trudged along laugh- ing and chatting good humoredly. Even the old man with bis board and nails game on the road side was not passed by without a plea- sant joke now and then, though the good humor of the hurrying crowds, it must bo said, put no money in his purse, and his persistent ery of “Ten cents, gentlomen, if you ring anail and a quarter if you ring the knife” fellupon ears that were deaf to his seductive appeals. fi It was barely one o’clock when the first crowd from the cars emerged from the woods and arrived at the track entrances, yet already the grounds to the’south ‘of tho grand atand, on both sides of the drive within the Fato, were trotted, as it were, with hundredsof vebicles, from the modest buggy to the ely road coach; the many colored blankets on w orsos, the bright robes that dungled from the seats of tho carriages hurrying to and fro of the constantly arriving making up a scene that was as exciting as it ‘was attractive. It was all rush and bustle and hurry, yet all in perfect order, as carriage after carriage dashed up tothe gateways and then, after depositing {ts precious cargo of “iaayes facre” and their gen- tlemen attendants at the stand, came rolling softly on tho grassy sward to rest, so to speak, in quiet each in Its allotted place. THE SCKXE ON THE GROUNDS. The scene trom the club house was a most enchant- Ing one. Before the bell had sounded tho note of preparation for the first race, the quarter stretch bad become black with a mass of humanity, ever sceming'y on the move; there wore streams withio streams, tides that went up and tides that went down the length of it and the breadth of tt, and that occasionally broke in fragments which poured up one stairway to the grand Stand only to have their places filled by others which came down another stairway, Yet above all this was the grand stand itsell, with its two tiers filled with people from the northerly end clear to tho midway section, beyond which there were still crowds but not so thickly gathered together, the cheerful laughing faces of the ladies, beaming down from out their “loves of bonnets” upon the moving sea below, adding a charm indescribable to tho general scene. Perched on the biuif to the south of the course—where a good view of almost the entire cuurse 13 tu bo had for nothing, which tact makes it u sort of Mecca on raco days, to which the devotees of the track eagerly throng who are too poor to do it honor by paying for tho privileges of the grand stand— there were fully three thousand persons, the noise of whore voices, as it was borne from alar away on tho breeze, ‘carme rolling along like the fitful moaning of a distant sea, The club grounds themscives nover wore agayer appearance. Tbe bal- conies were well filled long delore the races began by rand expectant assemblage ladies and gen- ; the seuts on the lawn were early the guests of the club, the fair sex being weet numbers,"’ as a musician might bere and there on the sward whero u good vie' sourse could be obtained—and where on the club grounds can a good view not bo obtained !—were little groups of the members and their frvends discussing the’ merits of the racers they now and then dashed by in their preparatory work for the serious business of the day. Add to all this SCENE OF ANIMATION, mado up of tho crowds on the grand stand; the burry- (mg and confusion without disorder on the quarter Mretch of the thousands who flitted to and from tho pool tents whi he voice of the auctioneer’s rang out tho air clear and distinct above the din beneath bis 3 the swaying to and fro of the brilliant nasem- biage on the grand stand us they rose to sec some favorite horso pull up betore the judges’ stand Jong lines of carriages to the right und Jet Atseit; the m looked in 1 the oft od of haman beings on the bluff, which istanee like a vast biack fringe to t formed the background, and whence there cime every now and then the noise as of a thousand voices all biended into one gral udd to this the tooting of the horn of the drag as it swaug into the club Wises and tnail dashed up to the club house, in fall view of the people ou the other side of the'track, the rich harness of the teams glittering like diamonds in the bright suntight— and one who wi at the races can form a taint idea of the attractivet f Jerome Park yesterday. During the interval between the races the sceno was If possible even moro animated than before they began. ‘There were those who were made very glad, and there ‘were those who were not so happy as they wight have been because of the uucertainty of mundane alfuirs¢en- erally and of racehorses especially that you are sure are going to win, simply because you want them to Abd your movey hasbeen placed where you think it will do the most goog, It was amusing to sean the faces of the crowds as the horses drew up for a start—tno watchfulncss displayed by those who had something Staked on tho issue—'ta tiny glove for my lady love’? or thousand doilar bill 1 was ail the eame—lest “my horse” would not get a fair start. And then, ay the flag fel! and tho word “go” was uttered and “they're of” wailed up from a thousan throats at the samo time like a half suppressed cry, what expectancy thero ‘was on every tace! For instance. you could teil by his fixed gaze upon the clump of horses that has just swung down from the hali-mile pole and by the ner- vous way bie tingers play with his cane, thatthat tall, Jean, awkward-looking tellow, who wears a sloucbed hat, but which ts now pushed to the back of his head, has bet heavily, Look at him as the horses disappoar be- bind the blafl—how he keeps his eyes un the track be- youd, and hurries forward to the tence as they dash down the homestretch, He is nervous yet, sull tis tyes begin to glisten and a faint tinge comes to his chock; his band 1s half raised to his hat, and finally, as under whip xnd spur the horses dash past bim, his hat is off and swinging about his head, and bis voteo joins tne grand chorus ot harrats that breaks out on the quarter stretch and is taken ap by the people on the grand stand. Waco has won! As he hurries with smiling aud booy- ant step toward the p§ol tent and finds, on looking ut black board, that bis $60 bas brought him—whut— do his eyes deceive him?—$1,016, he pokes a fricnd in the ribs and chackies “I knew he'd win,” he never stops to look at the woobegone fac the men who put their bottom dolar on a “sure thing,” Pera being its namo as they thought—and lost, And so went the intervals between the races on tho quarter stretch all tho aiternoon sorrow of the losors on one raco being turned to J the joy their gains on another, while the gainers in one often found the taunts they gave their fellows, who bad iit luck a minutes before, finally coming home to them like chieken: roost. Yet the great mass of the people on tLe grand stand, on the club grounds and everywhere whe of the course could be had, cared little for the jo sorrows of the devotees of the pools They went to enjoy themseives thoroughly, to seo the races for the pleasure of the thing and to aiftul day in the pleasant company of friends and amid surround. ings which made one feel happy and good natured do- spite bimeeit, What they sought they fou and 60 yesterday at Jerome Park was Lo the great crowds who Soe at the races a day of real thorough enjoy- ment dndg tome Wine tpn ad Daten , Livingston an Timers Me Geter Lnwreice an ‘Doswell, Starecee-Capreim Williaa A; Conner. Five races drew out thirty-two runners, and perbaps the most significant collapse was the first on the card, when the backers of the favorite got a very ugly knock. This was a dash of mile and an eigbth, the winner to be sold at auction, and nine competitors the st to pub- Me fk and po “private infor- mation,” Forbes & Armstrong’s Bill Bruce was considered by speculators a8 huving reasonable chance of winuing, but he proved a gay deceiver, and leit tis adheren! badly in the box. MeCormack’s Pera, who played such a dashing part in @ race similar ip character and distance as the present on the first day of the meeting, running Arcturus toa dead beat, aud thea outiasting bm, promived woll to pay, back her new owner much of the $1,026, which o gave lor her, and so sho was undaotly backed as socond choice. But the division whose funcy was felt disposed to think that victory had led them astray, for, though apparently fresh as a kitten and looking bright and healthy, she was not placed, Revd’s Gray Nun, a mare with speed sufficient to beat the bate! + possessing such ub uyly temper it seldom can veloped, ruled third in the betting, and toward the close of poola one or two acquainted with her qualities chose her as their champion, wrcing $bat perhaps just once she might become amiable, and under such circumstances 1t would be like finding money in the street. True to her reputation, however, she played all sorts of pranks before starting, and would aot do betier than seventh in the run home. Very unreliable indeed is this ani- mal, yet at a timo the least expected she will repeat her Fordbam Handicap periormance, when she beat eight others alter a most determined fight, Medinger’s First Chance stood next in the lutions, G. 1. Loriiard’s Ambush fitth choice, Hitchcock’s Springlet next in demand, with Dononue’s Waco and Clabaugh’s Cyril so little carod for being bunched asthe field. Waco, with one victory tn the several races run during the year, gave the small division that backed him an opportunity for a cheer to do raised,on account of good luck, ag he burst through the leaders on the straight, and shot along so grandly that be tore past the judges halfa length in irout of everything, The mutual pools paid the rather Land- some sum of $104 60 for euch $5 invested. - ‘The ‘folks’? who bad such # bad time in the nine- furlong dash immediately devoted themselves to tho consideration of the Annual Sweepstakes, two miles and an eighth, for three-year-olds, As might have been expected, and no doubt will be the case so long as. he patronizea ‘the turf and sends clippers to the post, Mr. Belmont had a prominent favorite in Sultaua. ‘With good looks, good public torm and rare breeding to recommend her it i# no wonder that many are found always to believe in the success of the maroon ard red when they are sported on the back of this tilly. Possessing great power, she combines speed and staying ability with 1t, while she looks lke one who would train on tor a long time. No *‘party’’ could be more contident of victory than those identified with Sultana, and from her success in the Huntor Stakes, second day ot sent meeting, the race was rightly regat ujost «oa certainty for her, bar accident. Such the sequel proved, ailing casily along astern of the other two compati- tors, shoe shot out like a rocket on the straight aft du- monstrated beyond peradventure that the money laid on ber was safoand gure. She carried a peviiry at five pounds in the race because of winnings ing to 000, but the additional burden did pn to trou. her, MecDuniel’s Virgil colt Vi was sent in to fight to Sultana, and fro, friends he found among the betting fruternity, were those who felt sure that the penalty carr her would prove just # tritle too much. He ba dently been got ready with an especial eye to th. gagement, and vo fault could de found with him. performance was not of the best, and was much ¥ than muny suspected would bo the case, he seemed to Inck speed at the © cal moment, and was beaten for second pl. rf oa rattling set-lo, Reed’s mare A by lene, who was hardly noticed by the majority, though she found a few supporters intne box. Her running was exceedingly good, as when the finish camo sho was found ready and the fashionable Vii ginius could not place her astern. McDaniel’s colt hi answered some big estions in the afMfirma- tive, but yesterday’s result was a bitter down- fall, and one feels that it was uot the best that this slashing son of Virgil can show. The running of Sultana led the reflecting speculators to associate her in their minds with the valuable Dixio Stakes, to be run at Baltimore 24th inst. If she next makes that journey, and she 1s almost certain to do #0, she will be one of a good field that may perform in that event. If in form on tat occasion, the votes of many who know#*her will be with ber. Tho Champagne Stakes, trom twenty-six subserib- ers, brought seven to the post, Meanwhile the betting had been plentiful on the result, Mr. Pierre Lorillard’s Bombast beid the bopor of favoritism, though tho representative Hiver: and Carvacalla from Bol- mont’s stable, nad ton and Salyers trom MeDaniel’s, together with G. L. — Lorillard’s Loiterer, ond Carr & Co.’s Rifle, bad many friends, and so tenaciously did each stick the pool-scllor had no cause of complaint oa the score of business, Many of tho backers of Belmont and Mc- Dauiel’s teams indulged in the comlorting ‘dea thor representatives would fiaieh first and second. Very soon alter, however, they were left with one string to their bow, and, more provoking still, neither of thesa was sufficient for the purpose, They were never dan- gerous, and the only troublesome customer that Bom- vay bad was Loiterer, aud so courageously dia ho dispute possession for the last eighth of mile for awhile, it wasa great relief to many whei he shook him off, and coming away reached tho g two lengths in advance. Of Rifle, a full brother to Creedmoor, much was expected, but his performance waa very bad—much worse than had been hoped for. Only four weighed out in the dash of one mile and three-quarters, purse of $500, for all ages, to carry 110 ands, inares and geldings allowed three pounds, Pierro Lorillard’s James A. was on the card, but scgatched at an carly hour, it being understood that he had gone little amiss. Perhaps it were better, under the circumstances, that he — was not brought to the post, for he would have mot Clabaugh’s Piccolo, who proved a horse of exceptional excollence. Hoe lived the course very easily and was given the verdict vy one length undera pull. Of the others, Hitchcock's Galway had a good place in the pools, as did in fact both McDaniol’s Madge and Lawronce’s Shylock, and lots of money were on them, Guiway, like a good old tashioned racer, surprised the unsnitiated at the way be kept up hia end and pointed out the road to all the others, but when it 1s understood that it took them just 1:31 tu go the first three-quarters, it is easily imagined that those with any clipping qualities had ‘not taken tssue with him. Galway led the dance a mile and a halt, aud the aged Shylock closely followed him the same distance but when Holloway wus tired of longer riding a wait- ing race, let Piccolo bave bis way somewhat, with the result already known. It was another com- fort to the backers of the tavurites, The card was wiped off with a dash of one mile for maidens, three-year olds, colta to carry 100 Ibs. and fillies 95 Ibs, ht cuime to the post, and Dosweli's Outcast had the honor of firet place. The confidence was well bestowed, for he curried the orange to the front. in a way that struck consternation to the opposition. Chew's Odd Socks, Gibney’a Love Chaso, West’s Courier, Wither’s Cyclone, Reed's Lillie Bolle and Mediuger’s Emma G. included the field, and though Cycione cut a wretched figure in a late attempt at Jerome, she landed second, Just enough in advanee of Courier to give her that po: sition. Outcast made bis run when the time camo, and had no dilliculty in securing a clever verdict. ONE MILK AND AN KIGUTH, .

The club grounds wero in splendid order and covored ‘with a bright green turf that made a severe contrast with tho rich auturnual hues of tho foliage of tho trees snrrounding the club house, The portion of tho grounds espocial}y allotted to the game was marked out with a broad line of white paint, and small red flags were also placed at short intervals with the sume ob- ject. Mr. Blossom, tho manager of the club, had all his preparations completed by three P. M., and his ponics stood in tho stalls bridied, saddica and ready for the fray. ‘They are in excellent condition, and do not appear to have suffered by their trip to Newport, As soon as the carriages began to arrive the ponies, some twenty in number, were taken out of the stablo, and, with blankets over the saddles, were led around until the game commenced. As somo of the players were late the others amused themsclves with a little practice, awaiting their arrival A num- ber of the spectators arrived about four o’clock P, M., but it was nearly fivo o’clock beforo the last race at Jerome Pack was decided, and then several hundred others put in an appearance. During tno afternoon five games wero played, resulting ta four goats for the blues, under the captaincy of Mr. W. P. Douglas, and ono goal for the reds, who wore led by Colonel W. Jay. A sixth game was commenced, but came to an abrupt con- clusion, ag Mr, Douglas’ pony fell and hurt his rider rather goverely. It ts the same animal that fell with Mr. Dougias at Nowport, and appears to be not quite sure(ooted enough jor polo, No serious results are anticipated, and Mr. Douglas was immediately taken to the club house and put under medical care, The spec- tators were very much iuterested with the game, as the players have improved wonderfully in tho last six months and are really experts in the way they handle the polo nallet, Colonel Jay, Mr. Douglas, Mr. Jonn Kane and Mr. Peters all played remarkably well and did excol- lont service for tho sides they roprosented, ‘Tho style of play 1s much more artistic than it used to be, and the ponies, having become accustomed to the sport, aro much more cusily aud quickly handled. Mallets ure also kept down and not raised above tho head, so as to suggest black eyes and broken heads, Shortly betore five P. M. the players wero all in the pigskin and the tollowing sides faced one anothor, with Mr. Howland Robbins filling the position of umpire. THR SIDES, . Reds, Blues, Colonel W. Jay (Captain), Mr. W.

The play on both sides was ver; good 4 gradually the bali was worked bac! to the centre of the fled, when Mr. Mott again distinguished himself, making @ good his of suMcieut strength but not quite the right direction, as the ball wont behind without passing vetween the reds’ goal. Griswoid hit {+ out, and then the struggle was resumed in too centre of the felt, The reds, however, could not hold their ground, and inch by inch they were forced back, until at last, alter somo brilliant play on the partot Mr. Douglas aod Mr, Mot the littic white ball passed betweeh the reda’ goal, an the bluos scored the tirat game. Sxcoxpd Game.—On the lirst charge both the leading layers missed und all the contestants came together lure the ball was disturbed.

The reds were now playing very strong, apa, backing each other up, they carried the ball prowy close to the blues’ goal, when Mr, Robbins mado a clevor back-handed hit that turned the tide of battle du another direction, Mr. Griswoid was keeping goal and stopped the rush very neatly, but the blues were working Well together, and after a briel siraggle mm front of tho goal Mr. John Mott gave the coup de grace | und scored a second victory tor the blues, id Tummy Gamx.—Mr, Dougias charged in advance of Lt off Robio’s Reef, thence around Fort Lafsyette the blucs and made o spleadid hit, sonding the ball NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1876—QUADRUPLE SHEET. close up to the reds’ goal, It was quickly hit back, and some exceilont play on the part of bowb sides en- sued, every attempt to steal away from the crowd with the ball bemg frustrated. Colonel Jay made ® good hit finally, and, followed by the reds, made @ dash with @ view to carrying everything before them, but a quick back-hander from Mr. Hermann Gelrichs stopped the advance and another struggle commenced in mire of the grounds.

Thorne, made a dash aud brought tho fight tn front of the blues’ goal, when a clean bit d cided the game, and the reds scored their first victory. Re Score how stood three for the biues and one tor tho reds, Firta Gaue—The blues obtained the first and the game was ut,once carried tn front of the reds’ goal. ‘The latter made'a very determined fight, but had to succumb to the terce attack of the blues, who played remarkably close and well, never giving their op- povents a chance to break away, Alter s short struggle of about three minutes the blues scored another vietory, gaining them four goals against. one to the reds, Sixru Gamp—At the word “Go,” Mr. Griswold and Mr. Hermann Qelrichs raced for the ball, and the tat- ter got in the first bit, Colonel Jay carried it back toward the blues’ goal, whea Mr. John Mott made a splendid bit, and was foliowing it up when he was Tiadou out, and the contest brought back to the contre of the field.

Tho pony w: again in a second, but the shock of the fall was severe that Mr. Douglas fuinted, and the game was dis- continued, Assistance was promptiy brought, and Mr, Douglas was soon reciining on a bed in the club house receiving proper medical attention. No serious results are anticipated, as no bones were broken, The accident, however, was very unfortunate, as it threw & damper on what promised to be one of the most brilliant meetings the Westchester Polo Club ever enjoyed. HANDICAP ATHLETIC MEETING. This yonr athletic sports have increased wonderfully in public ostination, and one of the most popular styles of athletic meotings is that of handicaps, Tho object 1s to give inferior mon an equal chanco cf win- ning with the best men, a thing they cannot do if all start from tho same mark. It ts only in this way that young beginners can be encouraged to persevere and attain future excellence, Un Monday a meeting will take place on tho New York Athletic Club Grounds, at 150th street and Mott avenue, under the management of Mr. James Watson, who has been so closely identl- fied with athietica during the past three or four years thatthe duties of handicapping are almost entirely turned ovor to him, By reforence to the programme At will be seen that an excellent afternoon’s spcrt has been arranged, and as the entries ure numerous tho attendance is sure to be large, ‘The hour at which vhe first game begins (twenty minutes past three P, M.) will enable business men to reach the ground and wit- ness the whole of the sports and return at an early hour bytrain from Mott Haven, The excellent grand stand atfords every accommodation for ladice, who al- ways muster in strong force to witness the feats of the aspiring athietos, and the bost of order and decorum is always observed at the New York Athletic Club Grounds, none of the objectionabio features which mar many outdoor sports being observable there.

The wind, however, which had subsided during the night, rose again yesterday morne ing, and it was feared that another postponement would be necessar; But happily the wind began, about the starting time, to decreaso and the water became smoother until the afternoon races wero rowed upon a course with hardly aripple, The attendance was not nearly as largo as was expected, but was large enough, nevertheless, to fill to overe flowing the several hotels at the head of the lake, Tue covnsk, The course was atwo milo straightaway, commenc- ing at tho head of the lake and finishing opposite a slope rising from the water’s edge, upon which were erected seats for the accommodation of the spectators, ‘The course was periectiy straight, buoved with flags upon each side at every eighth cf a mile and sheltered by bills from winds except those blowing from the southwest. The arrangement? for taking the time, starting, &6,, were excelleut, and the chairmat of the Regatta Committee, » Alvert H.

At the start the Neptunes took the lead and hold it well for toe first half mile. Both the Dauntless and Eurekas began to gain slowly during the next stretch. At tho pneand-a-half mile tlag tho Eurekas broke a stretcher and {vil rapidly to the reur. ‘The race now became a very close one between the two remaining crews, The Dauntless increased the stroke from 36 to 40 and the Neptuno from 34 10 38.
