MERICAN JOCKEY CLUB. e Sixth Day’s Events Closely Contested, BAND ATTENDANCE AND GOOD TRACK ‘om Ochiltree Captures the Cen- tennial Cup. irst Chance, Warlock, Shylock and Polly- wog also Winners. ‘The sixth day ef the fall meeting of the American ey Club and was the most successful of tho It was marked for the unusual numbers of ‘ Present and the general spirit and excitement off the day’s sport, The sun rose bright and early to any doubts about the weather, and as noon proached the avenues and roads leading to Jerome Pas were covered with fashionable equipages filled ‘wit ladies and gentlemen bent on evjoying the day, indicating their intentions in merry chat aod ‘ter as they sped along the road. The sight was to drive out of mind a thought of hard times, ‘and joked a living satire on such a thing as depression The trains leading to the track we to the utmost, and the journey out w: enlivjod with a discussion over tho results of the ‘West elections, ‘Why, it’s a walk over for Tilaen now, aid one man who looked more able to pick oat fg winitg horse than a winning candidate. ‘Yq see,” he continued, “ihe ‘republican party is Nike arse that nobody thinks ean lose a race, and the dgocrats have entered several horses without makingnuch ofa show. But they’ve got a good horse enteredbis time, and that mile dash, so to speak, in Indiana Tuesday ise pretry good Index of what he can do.’ “No horse can travel on the democratic track,”ald another; “it’s soft !n some parts, bard In other He may go well somo of the distance, but he’ll bebehind at the -finish, you bet.” Tho train reachedbe grounds as the above bit of political gos- Bip fioieed, and the crowds poured out and made their way topbe track, The scene there was a most engag- ing on¢ The grand stand was crowded with one of the largostwnd liveliest gutherings it ever held, the un- Usual pumber of ladies adding an extra charm tothe pieiun The boys were busy yelling out tor jlo whe card with the ‘name of the the rider,” and horsq. and the color of the = of a speculative turn of mind swarmed around the/ool sellers and watched with eager interest for a eh: to buy their favorites. The card called for five goo, Faces, including the race for the Members’ Cup, a prvate sweepstakes, two purse races and a four mile ry! lor the Centenmial Cup, the most valuable piece of yee ever offered on the American turf. Tom Ochil- ‘ree, Acrobat, D’Artagnan and Big Sandy were marked in heavy letters as the most probable starters in tho Jong race, and great interest was attached to the re- sult, Tom Ochiltree, of course, being the favorite over allothers, Throughout this race the excitement was Indescribable, The ladies caught the fever, and as the horses passed the stand on their Jong run hats and handkerchiefs were the only things to be seen in that locality, waving and tossing to a chorus of choers, THE RACING FIXTURES, s—Messre. Withors, Purdy and Livingston. ‘Messrs, Heckscher, Doswell and Lawrence. ‘Course—C. Waeatiy. Starter—Captain William 8 Conner, The fixtures were of an. important character, and they were decided undera fairsky and over a good track. The Members’ Cup, one mile and an eighth, mbers of the club only to ride, proved an entertain- ing introductory act. Four accomplished gentlemen experts in the saddle weighed out, and they mounted well known porformors at Jerome, having se- cured the horses from stables at the course. Mr. Robert Conter came to the post on Donahue’s sturdy chestnut, Waco; Mr. A. B. rurdy showing with McDaniel’s usoful Madgo, Mr. W. E. Peot, with Reed’s Gray Friar, and Mr. R. Peters on Medin- wer’s speedy First Chance. Tho bearing of the riders did not suffer by comparison with the proiessional Jockeys, and as the horses indulged in preliminary eanters the veteran betting men gave the auctioncer ‘all that he could do by plunging on Madge. They held & she hi everything in ner favor,as Mr. Purdy been tested in the pigskin and ‘was not found wanting. Knowing that Mr. Center could ride a horse as we as he can sail a yacht, scores made Waco their candidate for victory, and with much reason. Gray Friar did not lack supporters, and First Chance stood lowest in the estimation of the wpeculators, The dasving colors of the riders Greatly pleased jhe aristocratic company on the biuff, Sand {rom the reception accorded by all hands it was evident thatthe fact of their not being rovices wi generally known. As has often been the case during the meeting, and will be the case so long a8 racing exists, the weil patrovized favorite was beaten, and the neg- lected First Chance was piloted to victory, alter a rattling finish, by Mr. Pete with a sbort bead to spare, Madge obtained second place and Waco third. The mutuel pools paid $49 50, This was the first sur- prise ot the day, but all the contestants ran well enough to satisty most of the unlacky, so in the best ssrbie humor everybody sought the cards for the event. ‘Tis was the Centennial Cup, dasb of four miles, and tbe race of the day as wellas of the meeting. Of bxenty-ihree wominations there eame to the post G »Filard’s Tom Ochiltree, Sears’ Acrooat, McDauiel’s Sandy, and Grinstead’s D'Artagnan—quality aud Quantity suifleient for a cracking contest.

That he ts er his run and victory ia the three miles for the Maturity Stakes, second day of the present meeting, proved d that he is a ‘weght carrying stayer, and that bis racing qualities had not been tm- paired by his many contests of the season, that race also confirmed.

These were Williams & Owing’s cheatnat colt C more, by Asteroid, dam Target, by Riflema: William Mayo's bay colt Jack Sheppard, by’ Jack Malone, dam Septima, by Brown Dick. As only the above named came to tho post the interest was hight in the pool seeling, a8 Creedmore would fetch $100 whilo Jack Sheppard would be knocked down for $10 against i it. First Heat.—After four false attempts, caused by Croedmore refusing to go up to the string, the dram tapped with Jack Shephard in the lead by two lengths, which advantage he held arognd the turn and to the first quarter. Jack was ruvuing under a pull at the half-mile pole, when Creedwore ‘moved up and en- deavorod to tako the track; but it goon diucovered that be could not outrun Jack, who continued to hold bis lead to the end of tho first mule, Jack showed the way around the bye to = core ee the second. | passing that poiuti 2:15, and jt was ela, beveatdce bad tis match, and that ho could not long stand the driving that his jockey was giving him. Jack Sheppard cuntinued to keep a gap opea to the end, winning the heat by tnree lengths the mile and # balf was rua in 2:40, and the two unies in 3:3534, which was the best two miles that has ever been made over tho Nashville track. Second Heat,—The backers of Creeamore were pot Batistied that their favorite bad met one that could beat him, and they were still willing to bet $100 to $40 on Creedmore against the colt who had beaten him so easily, tno belief being prevalent that Jack Sheppard could not repeat two miles in decent timo, but the result proved that they wero mistaken, for Jack Sheppard took the lead at the start, was never headed and galloped home an easy winner in 3:42}4, THE THIRD Race was for two-year-olds that bad pever won a race, a dash ofa mile, for a purse of $200, For tnis event there were six starters, comprising H. B. Douglas & Co.'s bay tilly Belle Isle, by Boonie Scotiand, dam Ar- nica, by Asteruid; G. W. Darden & Co.'s bay coit John Manuel, by Glengary, dam Fanny Bugg, by Ambassador; W. Guest’s bay filly Madge Duke, by’ Bayonet, dam Tick; N. B. Cheat- ham’s pay filly Belldemona, by Brown Dick, dam Eloctra, by Jack Malono; W.’ Mayo’s chestnut filly ‘Anuie ¢., by Foster, dam Heliotrope, by Metcor, and W. A. Brown's bay filly Beersheba, by Bonnie Scot- jand, dam Lantana, by Captain Elgie. This race proved a very exciting one, At the start Beersheba took the track, closely pressed by Madge Duke and Beile Isle, aud both of the latter were close up to Beersheba at the Orst quarter. Beersheba then opened | @ gap of two lengths on the others and continued to lead until passing the ball-mile pole, when Madgo Duke and Beile Isle both passed her, Entering the humesiretch, it was difficult to judge as to which of the trio would provo the winner. Altera hard struggle Madge Duke ‘won the race by haif a neck, Belle Isie second, Beer- sheba third, John Manuel fourth, Belldemona uith, Annie C. sixth, Time, 1:48, ‘THe FOURTH RACE. Purdy was riding, while Mr, Center’n brown mure was the last to leave the post. Pollywog was one length in front of Lizzie around the club house curve, with the othersas before. They could not bo readily distio- guished going out of sight, bat when in level work, on the turn, Vollywog bad opened his lead ' to one length trom Lizzie, Persuader and Center's brown mare being her imme- diate attendants, third and tourth; Pwuline fitth and Paray’s yray last, already hopelessly beaten. They held these positions coming into the straight, and each of the leaders made a last desperate effort in the run bome, but Poilywog stalled off every chalienge aud doing all the running. Mr. Alexander won « clever verdict by Laif'n lergth irom Mr, Center's brown mare, Lizzio a good third, Paulie fourth and Persuader filth.

OPENING OF THB RACE FOR THE LOUBAT OCKAN CUP—THE IDLER ROUNDS THE soufis- WEST SPIT WITH A HALF-MILE LEAD, With a cloar sky aud a light southerly wind the yachts Idler and Atalanta started yosterday upon their course to Cape May. That thi hould have been the only entries for the valuable Loubat cup was, doubt- loss, owing to the lateness of the season and the fact that many of the yachts are already laid by for the winter, As it was, the two mentioned got away under circumstauces very unfavorable to # fast or enjoyable run, ‘The Idler belongs to Mr. Samuel J. Colgate, and the Atalanta to Mr. William Astor; both gentlemen being members of the Now York Yacht Club, The forme” boat is 191.26 tons by old measurement, and the latte is but 145.56 tons, The regulations of the race gave a time allowance of twelve seconds to the ton, which makes a differonce in favor of the Atalanta of nine minutes and eight seconds. THY COURSE to be sailed over is ‘trom off Owl’s Head, New Yerk Harbor, over the regular regatta course of the New York Yacht Club, to and around the Sandy Hook lightsbip, leaving tho game on tho starboard hand; thence toand around the lightship on Five Fathom Bank, off Cape May, and return to Sandy Hook light- ship, leaving both ob the port baud.” ‘The yacht Vesta, which tho owner, Mr. 8. M Miils, had courteously placed at the disposal of the judges, proceeded toa point off Owl's Head ata little belore bree o'clock. Mr. G L. Haight, chairman of the Regatta Committee, New York Yacht Ciub, acted in the capacity of both judge and timekeeper. THE START At precisely 3b. 15m. the preparatory signal was given, consisting of one gun aud the lowering of the club signal carried by tho Vesta, Ten minutes later the same signals wero repeated, as an order for the yachts to cross the line. ith a southerly wind and ‘against a flood tide the two boats slowly beat their wuy toward the point. Both carried club topsuiis and set their ioretopsails just previous to crossing the line. Tho Atalanta was nearest to the Long island shore and crossed first, at 3b. 32m, 30s. Tue Idler foliewed exactly two minutes later, and tor the first hall milo both sailea closcly tothe wind. The Atalanta seemed to strike a favorable current at once, gaining perceptibly on hor antagonist, She then went upon along starboara tack toward the lower end of Staten Isiand, whiio the Idler first made a short tack close in to the Long Island shore. When they crossed the Atulania on her port tack was still consigerably ahead. The Idicr, on her port tack, attempted to lay out past Fort Diamond, which would bave given ber a great advuntage Failing to do this eho tacked at 3h. 55m., tho Atalauta at about the samo time tacking also. Crossing again the latter boat showed still a further gain. Another tack was ‘made, and when thoy came togethor again, off Coney Island, the Idier took the lead. At this timo the Vesta, which had followed tho race, turned back; and when last geen by those on board her the two racing yachts were making toward the Southwest Spit, the ldler slightly in advance. Adespateh received afterward from Sandy Hook says tho Idler rounded the spit at 6b. 05m., the Atainnta being halfa mile astern, Unless important changes take place in the wind and weather tho yachts will ‘not be heard from again before to-morrow. MINIATURE YACHTING To-morrow afternoon, at Prospect Park, the three fastest sloops of the Long Island Club—the La Baya- dere, Commodore Voorhies and Maria—will sail a match, best two out of three, for the champion pen- nant, for sloups, of their club, There will be other Faces also.
