4 NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, 0 Decision of the Fifth Day's Fixtures. ferry Struggles and Favorites Badly Beaten. FINE WEATHER AND GOOD ATTENDANCE Warlock, Griole, Vigil, Sister of Morey and ; Deadhead the Winners. EE SSE The delightful weather and the attractions offered Dy five races, one of which was a steeplechase, served 1o draw together yesterday at Jerome Park a large and fashionable attendance. There were not so many turn- @uts on the road nor as many spectators on the grand Stand during the afternoon as there were on Saturday lagt, but the crowds who were present fully maae up for lack of greater niimbers by their enthusiasm. The 00d natured people who make it their bounden duty to be on hand on the bluff outside the park, whence they can get avery fair view of the course without bi wg to be adgered by doorkeepers, who are no re- Specters of persons who presume to intrude within the enclosure without having a little card dangling trom the lappels of their coats as proof conclusive that they haye paid for the privileges they seek to enjoy, Were out in truly royal force. There was not a rock on the hill a foot above the level of the surrounding * ground that was not taken possession of, asa prize mot to be despised, a full hour before the first raco was fun, Even tho trees im the background were not too aacred for the small boys and even for the “children of an older growth,” who believed apparently that the motto of the Empire State ought to be carried into effect whenever and wherever a fellow can get a thance to put himself above his kind for his own par- (cular benefit What made THR SCENE OX THE BLUFF all the more interesting was the presence of a large Bumber of ladies and tho fact that the crowd was as a rule very well dressed—out in their Sun- day-go-to-meeting Dest, in fact—as though ‘hey were determined to risk spoiling them just a hittle so long as they could have a day’s sport without boing taxed for it to the tune of $2 or $3, Certainly a more orderly, enthusiastic gath- ering than the bluff congregation never came to- ther, Though all were not able always to tell trom their positions just what horse was ahead at the finish, 8 fow ut them who had opera glasses with them kept a strict lookout for the winners and condescendingly com- municated their discoveries to the crowd generally. Everybody had programmes, and so when some youth with a giuss cried out, “Blue, orange sleeves aud cap got in first,” or “Muazvon, red sash and cap,” or “Green, with black cap, won it,’ there was a general Scanning of the pastevoard, which was the key to She identity of the horson, ON THE GRAND STAND large number of the most eager lookers on were Btrangers to the city, all probably on their way to or from the Centennial Exhibition, and who had, doubt- Jess, determined to ‘do’’ New York and sce its various olepbants before getting too far away from the big city. This was apparent trom the inquisitiveness displayed by good natured looking fellows who were met with Sauniering up and down the quarter strotch, and never Ured of asking such questions as when the club house was built, how much the grand stand cost and how on tarth all the people who were present were over going to got home before night, Many of these strangers were, like Joey Bugstock, “sly, dev-il-ish sly" at the pools, and they wore not long on the ground before thoy knew just what men who were dealing heavily in tho pools were to be depended upon, and whero a $5 bill might be put where it would do the most good if the favorite sipped up. “Well, 1 deck said a@ well dressed man, whose peculiar aeoent and Jean, long vis- age betokencd the downeaster, as he put on his spec- tacles, put his hands behind his back, and stood gazing at the blackboard that told the story of the first race, the number of tickets sold on each horse and the amount tho winner brought. “Well, I declare,” said be, “who would 'a thought it? Thero’s that boss War- Jock bringin’ $70 50a ticket, and I’ve.got three of ‘em. This is better nor sellin’ oats by the bushel after workin’ all summer,’” In the midst of bis ejacu- lations along came one of the brisk young men who offer to cash tickots fora discount ‘Cash your tick- ots,” he cried; “Warlock brings $70 50; cash your Uckets for $70." Tho stranger stopped him, pulled out Lis throe tickets and was about to hand them over for the eash when he Jearned tuat he would have to lose (itty cents on each for the cash accommodation. . “Let's sec, my friend,” said he, “you say $70 50 at the pool rooms, Well, 11’ll cost me oniy about ten cents car fare from the hotel. Ten cents from $1 50 feaves——” Tho obliging cash man loft him ia the midst of his calculations, satisfied that he could make Qo bargain there. SENTIMENTAL BETTING MEN. Speaking of the pools, it may be mentioned that many men attend the races who do not bet on a horse because they think he ts the best, but simply because bis name or a jockey’s colors are in their mind asso- ciated with something for which they bave @ senti- mental liking, Who ever went to a race where dozens of Irishmen did not bet on the “green” simply for the love of the thing? It was so yesterday. ‘Don’t let's go back on her,” said one gentleman yesterday to five Of #ix of his companions a» they crowded about the pool singe, “Hivernia’s @ pretty good name;’ and BtraighiWay they all, jor the sake of the bame, it bought a ticket on the Gly. They lost their money, bat if they were as patriotic in the steeplechase they must have bad good reason to rejoice ‘on account of the faith that was in them,” for the Green beat the Orange. A most laughabi cident took place while the merits of the horses in the fourth race wero being discussed, One gentieman re- “ arked to a friend that as he was a member of tho : eburch., in good standing, he ougbt to show his mr ’ spect for it by buying Sister of Mercy. The reply w given laughingly —""That’s a go. I'll take a $25 ticket @n her, tose or win.’ Ho won. it was a quaricr to five when the last race was finished, and a bal! hour afterward all the carriages and coaches aud buggies were rattling down Jerome wenue, homeward bouud, and the crowds that came p on the trains were rasbing through the woods ona dead run for the waiting trains, THE DAY'S FIXTURES. Pi s—Messrs, Withers, Purdy and Livingston, Dimers—Messrs. Belmont, Coffee aud Lawrence. Coarse—C. Wh aptain William ‘The programme was composed of five items, and, as ‘whole, was of exceptional excellence. The first de- cided, perhaps, was of more interest than those that followed, ag an outsider, in the popular colors of G. L. Lorillard, ianded the muney without difficulty, This was Warlock, who was hardly dreamod of in the f@arlior speculations, yot commanded some sup- a m the final “transactions, as the talent caught tho nods of a buyer or two of tho Borse that demonstrated to them there was misebief afloat.

Free- booter was never in the race, as with the pecular movements of his rider, who gave the starter’s orders Ro consideration, the horse was ieft at the post long enough for deteat, This {ailure of Lougstafl well-thought of colt caused muca but misery loves company, and in th jor ayinpathy the backers of Freebooter turned to those who had piunged so heavily upon Out- ast, Fora while it looked that he would be near! Asiern of all his competitors, yet he struggled in witl “ia suiticien: to foisa still he nor any of los the others wei to jeopardize the victory of Warlock, as be took the jead after the first quarter was fun and never after saw the colors of the opposing horses. This was a good beginning to a good day for he backers of the “elder: as tue mutual pools Motied $7050, and horse and rider deserved - the encomiums passed upon them. It is f jarlock’s «first winning of the year and t the second in bis racing care his first ‘Deing in a handicap tor two-year-olds, dash of a mile, Qt Saratoga iast summer.

Atblene piloted the cthers for ope mile and thipe quarters, and beat Fiddlestick six lengths for second place honors. Preston had enough of it at the quarter pele in the second mile, and was badly beaten otf, He proved the impostor of the race, ‘There were six entries tor the mile sweepstak maidens, of all ages, yet but four put im an appe arnce. Of these Doswell's Ruppabapnock was a long favorite, Preston's Courier next in choice, witn Gib- ney’s Love Chase and McDaniel’s Sister ot Mercy in the fiela, The race proved another serious blow to those who will place their money on favorites, as Rappahannock, after the quarter had bven reached, never was formidable, and before the straight was reached it required but little demongira- tion to show their money was gone, sisier of Mercy, with Spillman on ber back, ran a waiting race until the three-quarter pole was’ reached, when she figured in tbe van, and won easily by three lengths, The the handsome sum of $68 80. jed with a steeplechase, me to the post, Dona: tho favorite, Sutcliffe’s Bullet sec- ‘allaban’s Bay Kum, Reea’s Doubs- ful and Lawrence’s Resolute as the tleld.

The roads loading to the track were in good order, and the at- tendance on the grand stand, when all were seated, presented a very respectable appoarance. The track was in the finest possible condition and the weather charming.

This exhibitor sent a number of large tin blacking boxes, which wore duly arranged im his case in tasteful form. None of the boxes had had anything in except the one forming the apex of the pyramid, aud it so happened that this one got battered in transit on the steamer and ali the blacking which it contained leaked out. Theroswas not a drop leit when the boxes were piled up in the show ease, yet so lavishly were these medals distributed that this exhibitor got an reward for ‘su perior French blacking” on the strength of his empty D Another matter of comment in the French section is the fact that tho world-famous Gebelin tapes- try, which needs no words of praise from me, did not receive a mention tn the reports, Some boautit’] ceramic ware, called paté tendre, or soft paste, inlaid with gold and’ platina, and beautifully painted, so rare and of such difficult workmanship that @ tea plate made of it is often worth $100, did not re- ceive an award. There aro several exhibitors of it. One of them complained to a Commissioner of the omission, an gulariy enough, was told that it woula be ail fixed; 1 he should bo satisiied, and would re- ceive an award, Tbe Centennial Commission has about 100 cases stlil before them for investigation.

INTERNATIONAL RIFLE SHOOTING. WHY ENGLAND DID NOT CHALLENGER {From the (Dablin) Irish Times.) The American Rifle Team may be credited with a double victory. According to reliable authority it was the intention of the English eight, whose fine display of shooting at Wimbledon won the Elcho Snield from the Scotch and Irish, to challenge the Yankees shoula they prevail against the foreigners at Ureed- moor, It ts said that the gauntlet was absolately prepared for casting, and the men had sig- nified their willingness to put the victors to tho proof, When, however, the Ceptonnial scores reached here a change camo over the spirit of the Englishmen’ dream.
