AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB, ‘econd Day of the Spring Race Meet- ing at Jerome Park. FIVE CAPITAL RAOES. A Very Excellent Attendance of Beauty and Fashion. THE COACHING CLUB Fugitive, Tom Ochiltree, Zoo Zoo, Shylock and Trouble the Winners. ‘The second day of the spring meeting of the Ameri- ean Jockey Clab was held yesterday at Jerome Park and attracted several thousand spectators, The morn- ing was rather dark and cloudy, and although pleasant had a threatening aspect that led many to be- heve they would have a rainy afternoon, About noon the number of private carriages on Filth avenue and the cross streets denoted something un- usual on foot, and by one P, M. along line of barouches, landans, Broughams, Stanhopes, T carts and buggies, with an oceasional four-in-hand, wore filing into the Park through the Fifth avenuo entrance und making the best of their way tu the track, The drive as tar as Macomb’s Dam Bridge was quite pleasant, but the rest of the route was rendered fur from enjoyable by the clouds of dust that rose after every passing vehicle, Approaching the entry to the park there were some traces lett of where a watering cart had passed, but the dust was so thick that 1t sooo drank up the light sprinkling it had received, The mass ot the people came out by the cars to the Jerome Park station, and then either walked or drove up tothe park. Walking by the short cut must have been far preferable, as any- body driving up was lucky if they were not choked and blinded with tho dust, THE PARK. ‘At two P. M. there were quite a number already at the park, and the bookmakers had commenced their ocations, their melodious voices offering the odds in tho most persuasive tones, The club house was as yet comparativgly deserted, bat shortly before threo P. M. gay summer costumes of the brightest hues began to giisten on the verandah, and presently tho wearers be- gan to trip down the steep walk to tho lawn, and were f00n com/ortably seated in the shadow of the hill on camp stools and settees,) The viewof the club house on a race day in pleasant weather forms one of the most picturesque scenes imaginable, The bold upright bill, covered with a rich green sod, and every now and then the dark gray rock forming a natural relief to the eye—on top the club house, with Its handsome verandahs, crowded with ladies atured with all the elegasce, the result of money and taste tombined, and down at the foot of the hill groups of | ladies and gentlemen, some seated on shawls spread on the side of the hill, and others on camp stovls along the line of the waik. A little to the left are the four- in-bands, in which the colors blue, red and yellow pre- dominate, wrecled round in a row, with the driver's Bent tacing the grand stand. A WELSHER ON THE HILL One of the most interesting localities inthe neigh- | borhood of Jerome Park 1s Donnybrook Hill, where the great masses of the public enjoy a view of the races, withoui being subjected to that unpleasant dratt upon the pocketbook commonly called an admission fee. They are ali deadbeads on Donnybrok Hill, and conse- quently enjoy the sport with an inward consciousness hat they can afford it, Althongh away irom the quarter stretch and the horses there were plenty of gentlemen on the hi!l yesterday that bad money to bet, even if they could not pay the admission fee to the Park, They wandered around for some time, vainly offering bets and were about to give up in despair, when a gentleman appeared on the ecene, attired in a white plag bat, seedy-losking biack cutaway coat, tight pants of a light check and white scarf, held together by a borseshoe pin, He carried a smail black bag, slung on his shoulder by a strap, and painted on the bag was the name “Charles Atwood, New York.” He was suddenly attracted by the offer of a gentieman to back Zoo Zoo, and producing « nvtebook, which had the samo name and address printed on its back, he offered to lay Sto 1 agamst that animal, The backer took the bet for $2 and booked it, when Mr. Atwood hunded him a Iittle tcket and de- manded the money, at the same timo saying it was customary for book makers to hold the money aud pay after the race. The backer banded up his two dollar bill, and a number of others tempted by the long odds also invested in Mr. Atwood’s book, He was certainly a liberal book maker, a he laid 10 and 20 to 1 against horses that were quoted at 4 and 6 to 1 on the quarter stretch, but, as be jokingly said, he always made it a rule to satisfy every customer, Backers came up very fast, and by tho time the horses were ready to start Mr. Atwood’s little black bag was nearly stuffed (ull of two dollar and dollar bills and lung steady in ite place with a ballast of half dollars and quarters in silver whieh be bad also taken, 1n his good natured way. He laid the odds to a quarter in order to oblige a party. Prosently there was a cry *They’ro off!” and every- body rushed to the front of the bluif to see the race. For the moment they forgot Mr. Atwood, in the exe citement of watching the coatest bewweon the blooded steeds; but wheu the race was over, and they knew which was the winner, the crowd gradually returned towurd the canvas booths to e their Ubirst. Some of them wore tearing up tho little tickets given them by the aflable Mr, Atwood, and others were walking around with a Ucket firmly grasped be- tween the finger and thumb, and their eyes opened very wide, looking for a man in a white plug hat of the name of Atwood. For uboat ten minutes they searched in silence and then ono would ask the other, ‘Have you sven the bookmaker ?’? but the gentleman must have gono to innch, as he was not to be tound. hey were looking all tho rest of the day and there aro a number holding tittle white tickets, looking still, but they ure gradually beginning to understand that they have made the acquaiutance of ono of the pests of tho English race course—the wolsher. In future the backers of horses will be more cautious as to who they invest their money with, THM QUARTRR STRETCH, The noisy voice of the pool seller 1s heard no moro in Jerome Park, and there 1s no crowd around bis stand, with tho eager, uplitted faces, showing tho tu terest their owners were taking in the business, Yester- | ay the speculators were gathored tn litte groups around the different bookmakers booking their bets in a quiet way. There were not half cnough knights of the pencil to accowmodate the backers, and sume grumbling Was heard on that account, but it isa fault will soon be remedied; as bofore the ond of the season there will probebly be more layers of odds thaa takers.

Mr. Rives was ac- companied by his two daughters and some other ladies aud gentienen, The drags were all wheeled up in line with the pole facing the grand stand, SCENES ON THK COURSE. ‘The prettiest scene of the day was the start for tho Maryland Stakes, as it is not often the public have opportunity of secing a finer lot of three-y r than thosé that appeared on the course. The la i were very much tntercsted in this race, made to them so attractive by the gayly colored costumes of the riders, They bot gloves frecly on their favor- ite colors, preferring to put ther faith in their tasto rather than ou the breeding of the auimal, The appearance of the tamous ‘Yom Ochiltree on the course prior to the sturt for tho Westchester Cup was alzo much admired, and the grand old racer received quite an ovation ot applause. In the steeple chase the ladies were quite in a flutter, aud beld their fans before their iaces as the horses rose to the big water Jump in front of the Grand Stand, but stilt the danger lent a httlo excitement to the sport that proved rather attractive in its way. THE RACING, The five events that came off were as tincly con- tested as any races that bave bean run at Jerome Park, and they were greatly appreciated by the spectators, The first was a dash of a milo for all ages, for which there were cight starters; the second was the We: chester Cup, a dush of two iniles anda quarter; the third was the Maryland Stakes; the fourth a dash of a mile and three-quarters, and the filth was a grand steeple chase, There was not a mistake made im any of the contests, and the best horses wou the races, ‘TH FIRB RACK was for a purse of $500; maidens allowed, if 3 yoars old, 3 Ibs; if 4 yeurs, 7 Ibs; it 5 and apward, 12 Ibs,; the distance, one mile, There were cight e tries for this ufluir, comprising J.

POOL SELLING AGAIN IN FULL BLAST—JUDGE HOFEMAN INDIGNANT. Alter the pool sellers who were arrested at Hoboken on Monday had given bail in the sum of $500to unswer all except Jonnson determined to continue the busi- ness, Accordingly the rooms were opened yes- terday as usual and, a report was imme- diatoly made to the judges of the Court of Scssious at the County Court House that the game was in full operation. Sheriff Laverty thero- upon detailed two deputies to proceed to Hoboken and ascertain the truth of this report. They foutid the pool reoms in {ull blast, and tho result is that warrants will bo issued to-day, When the parties are arrested tho bail will be doubled, and if arrested a third time bail will be refused, The oflendors will then have to apply Jor a writ of habeas corpus, and if the case come before the Supreme Court the bail will be made so Leavy that it will be found very unprofitable to repeat the offence, Judge Hollman is very devermined im the matter, He gaye Wual the reopening of the puol rooms yesterday was an open defiance of the law, and when it becomes a struggle between tho law und the offender the latter must succumb, The laws of New Jorgey ure more stringent im relation to gambiing than those ol any other State in the Union, Counsellor McAdoo, asaistaut prosecutor in the Court ol Sessloue, cited several cases yesteruay, the prinei- al one boing that of the State ys, Willams, 10 room's ts, Which virtually dixposes of ‘pool tolling. The reports in some rapers that this wariare against poo! sellers Was instigated by Governor Bedle 1s without the slightest teandation, Mayor Siedler wok the toititive im Jersey City nod the pool rooms wera in the moan- time {rausferred to Hoboken. Judgo Hofman then determined to inverpose, and ne directed the attention of the Hoboken police authorities to the mater, Ag the cay Wus beneted in a pecuniary sense, however, by the business, the police were slow in moving, Judge Hot then put his toot down and took sumumary Mneusures, Which resulted in the arrest of the parties. Me remarked yesterday that avy of these men who wUndertook to dety the law would find to their cost that thoy are not dealing with New .York law. The statement that a a sugar reflacr of Hoboken or any other resident ot thac city mauve a complaint against the pool sellers 1s positively untrue, Both the judges aud the Sberilt deny this empnaticaliy, A lively timo may be expected at ihe County Court House to-day, One of the bonds. | men of the parties arrested told « HERALD reporter that it the offence should be repeated ho will surrender his man and let bim go to jai. One of the pool sellers re- marked to the officers who made the urrest:—"“We ain't a8 fresh as you Jersey feilers thiuk; we can | ut up money every time,” Aud this is just the point where Judge Hoffaan says be will meet them, CHEEVER'S CHALLENGE.

The seventh annual regatta of the Williamsburg Yacht Club took place yesterday. The course was off the Club house at the foot of Eagle street, Greenpoint, to the Stepping Stones buoy and return, a distance of about twenty miles, the Pluck and Luck winning the champion pennant of the club and the prizo of her class, the other winners of class prizes boing the Nettio, Cricket, Mary Gibson and Rosina. ‘The races of this club have so interested the people of Greonpoint that on their occurrence they turn out grandly and crowd the shore and blaflsof Pottery Beach to witness tho start and return of the craft, The scene Is, therefore, a picturesque one, the shore» lined with spectators and the offing filled with trim looking boats with malnsails sproad, waiting for the signal to.dart forward to contost their sailing. qualities under the manlpulations of willing crews and adept! salling masters, ‘Ten o'clock A M. was the hour set for the start of the seventeen boats entered yesterday, but, owing to au error in the calculation of the tide, it was sharp twelve o’clack before the starting gun was fred, Tho boats. Wore arranged in five classes, ‘according to length, and the arrangement was as nearly perfect as possible, the following being the entries :— CABIN SLOOPS, Chester, A. Arthur, 35 feet, 4 inches; Maggie, 8¢ fect; Nettie, 26 fect, OPEN 8LOOPS. First Class—Orieket, 28 teet; Endeavor, 27 feet, 11 inches; Black Watdh, 28 feet, Second Ciass—Piuck and Luck, 24 feet, 84¢ inches; 4 foot; Martha M,, 24 leet, ra C by 3 Kate, 22 feet Inevos; J, N.

TUR START, Precisely at 12 M. the sigual was given for tho start, and tho smaller bonts were at onco under way in the following order, Rosina, Emma D,, Jane and Gilbert J ‘hey got off uivoly, though mueh complaint de that an outside boat, the G. Floming, had started with them and taken their wind as thoy passed her, The little crait hugged the Long Island shoro, aod, though they experienced stout, bailing breezes, wero soon stretching away toward Hell Gato. At 12h, 06m. the Pidgeon started, closely followed by the Kutie ang tho Mary Gibson, the Lanthier being withdrawa for repaira, Tho Pluck and Luck got off handsomely at 12h, 10m., with the Inspector close behind her, the Marthain not racing, her owner being afruid at the last moment to test hor sailing quultics agulnst tho Pluck and Luck, though sho sued ever the course, starting @ few minutes later, ‘The first class, open sioops Uricket and Kadeavor got away at 12h. in, and ut 12, 18m. the cabin sloops Mugyto and Nottio started, ‘lhe Nettie losiwg 4 minute or more by fouling with her anchor, and then (he wind dying away she lost the advantage of a good start. THR RACK. All tbe tect were now off im good order, several swilt suing cratt, including the catamaran 'Amary!- lig and two steamers loaded with exeursionists, ac- companying them. ‘I'be wind proved variable through the gate, often dying away altogether; but alter passe ‘ng the North and South Brothers? Islands a spanking breeze trom the southeast carried them over the courae, At the Brothers’ Lighthouse Mary, as usual, siluted the boats whicu passed ber in the following order:—Pluck and Luck Rosina, Emina D., Mary Gibson, Pidgeon, Katie, [n- spector, Uricket, Jane, Gilbert J. Orr, Endeavor, Mage gle, Netue, Acorgs Flushing Buy the prettiest and closest struggie of the race took place, between the Rosmaand Emma D Tke former hud the weather uuge, however, aud, despite the manwuvring of ibe latter, kept her headway. The Pluck and Luck head, ing the flect met the new boat Dare Dovil off West chester point and, the latter wearing round, engaged im an exciting test of speed with the interest arising from the fect that boats were built by the me ma: Jake Smith, of Groenpoint, The Pluck and Lue! showed the neatest pair of heels and rounded th stukebvat first at 1h. 460i. 58s, The other boats ca on rapidly with a fair wind, under whieh they boom out their gibs at Throgg’s Neck. in turning the Rosina and Emma OD, turned together, the being nearest should have turned first, but the eca- maunship of the sailicg muster of the Rosina took that laurel from him, and got on the homestretch filty seconds abead. The Katie and the Jane missed the turn by bad management and bad to tack and beat up to get around the buoy, thus lostng much time, the best and closest turn of ull being made by the Pidgeon, which earned tbe applause of the guests of the club on the Fort Lee and the excursion nm the George Birkbeck. At 2h. 15m. all the boats had rounded the stakeboat and were ou tneir way home, the Pluck and Luck Jeadivg, having already turned Throgg’s Point, Oi Flashing Bay tho wind died away again and was very light for the balance of the Face. Through the Gate, against a head tide and with a Nght wind, the boats slowly forged ahead. The cata- maran went ashore on Fiood Rock, but sustained ne damage, and the Martha M, met tho same fortune oa Blackwell’s Island, Both craft, though not directly in the race, were sailing along with the contesting boats. ‘THR RETURN, At the home stakevoat, with the wind due south, they were all compelicd ‘to wear and then pass be- tween the club house and the stakeboat on the port tack, which manwavre under u stiffer breeze might, by superior seamanship, bave changed the winners in oue or more of the classes, Tue following is the tume:— CABIN SLOOPS, Actual Elapsed Start, Finish, “Time” Time, HM, HMS.
