“AMERICAN JOCKEY. CLUB, Fourth Day of the Spring Meeting at Jerome Park. Brilliant Display of Beauty and Fashion at the Races. FIVE VERY SPIRITED CONTESTS. Grand Turhout of the Coach- ing Ciub. Fugitive, Cloverbrook, Athlene, Partnership and Ga'way the Winners. ‘The races of the fourth day of the American Jockey .Ciub Spring Meeting were run yesterday at Jerome Lark im tho presence of several thousand spectators, and re- sulted ina most brilliant success in both the magni tude of the atteudunce ani the excellence of the racing, Yesterday was really the Derby Day of Ameries, und a drime to Jerome Park, giving a view of the scenes on the raid, the magnifleent equipages, the elegantly attiredavisitors to the Jockey Club, the quality of the ractug world, certainly gave the stranger a bigh opindh of the wealth and resources of New York city. There was no fault to find yesterday with the woatler, as, although the morning eas rather cioudy, the rain held off, and the absence of the glnr- sun ww «decided advantage. From twelve to three I, M..the rovd from the city to Jerome Park was fa sight welltworth witnessing, as it would be bard to witness a.finer display of beauty in manhood, womankind and horseficsh than was there seen, The Coaching Club were ont in grout force, and some twelve to fifteen four-in- bond drags were on the road, looking bright and picturesque with thetr richly harnessed horses and gayly attired passengers that occupied the seats on the roof, There were also innumerable dog earts, with Uleir tandem teams, mail phaetons, Stanhope phaetons, T carts, fandaus, baronches, open coupés and baggies, many of which attracted considerable atgetion from the siyle of the horses and the elegance of the entire equipage. The buggies aud the trotters ‘were skipping tiong at a lively gait, dancing in and.ont between the heavier carriages, and every now and then a couple of rapid trotters would have a brush for a quarter of a mile, showing a thirty gait on the road to aheavy wagon, At two P. M. a steady line of carriages wore strenming along throagh the Park and coming out, Looking down tbe line there were car- riages on the Boulevara two or there deep-as far as the eyo could see, Everybody appeared to be out on | wheels, and, judging trom the number on*the road, one would be led to think that Jerome Park would be | hardly large enough to hold them ail, Shortly bofere urriviag at the entrance gate to the Park the stream of carriuges divided, somo wheeling off to the left to go to the Jockey Club House and tho others keeping straight om into the Park, where they were immedmtely taken possession of by the red capped corps of scrapers, all eager toturna quarter of a dollar, It i8 impossfle to uvoid these industrious gentlemen, and the best way is the quiet- est—tbat is, when they have ccesed shouttng und Oghting, call up any ono of the brigade who looks big evough to whip the others into stfyection, Asa rule they are pretty fair grooms and take tolerably good care of tho horses intrusted to their charge, SCENES ON THE COMSE. Everything around the course yesterday was dresser in holiday attire, and seated on the grand stand the tye could not fail to be pleused vatth the lovely pano- rama that lay before, In the cenwre stood the hill sur- mounted with the JoeKey Club “House, a picturesque building standing on the top ofa hill, covered with green sod and evergreen shrubs throngh which the bare grey rock showed forth at intervals, perfecting its mataral beanty. On the veran- das of tho elub house was a moving imaoss of figares attired in all the colors of the rain- bow, and the rich fabrics that composed the toilets, the ¢parkling gems that adorned: the wearers occaston- ally glistened in tho sunlight with asflashing brilliancy that almost dazzled the spectators, The walks leading town to the Jawn at the footof the hill, where the four-in-hand coaches wero drawn up, were occupied with promenaders, and laid out on the lawn were severai groups enjoying an al fresco lunch, ‘he neat white table cloth stretched on the green gross, the tempting cold selads, and the ico bnekets with the necks of the.dottles peeping ont, bad a very inviting appearance, which was only tquatted by the enlivening pop of vhe-cork and the re- freshing draught that followed. The ladies were well represented, and, as a rule, appeared to be enjoying | themselves to their hearts’ content. They applauded the horses and their riders as they went by, their damty gloved bunds and waving the few eqnare inches of lace that “is dignified by the thie of mouchoir. The absence ot pool selling did notuseem to affect them tn the slightest as they bot thetr slaves as of yore, and it was reported that one young aly, with a head for figuees, made a book laying the o:ds in gloves, per- fures, candies and other femate necessaries, It was teid that in the Belmont the book was very successful uud the feminine operator succeeded in performing | that surgical operation upon the festive lamb that is the ambition of all the professional knights of the pen OYADHEAD WILT. The change of namo tuade in this now celebrated portion of Jerome lark is in honor of its patrons, as it is anderstood they objected to Donnybrook as it was An imported title, and preferred something American kod characteristic of its habituds, 1) was christened yesterday with all dus honors, and bumpers of lager j wero quuffed in its hovor, Yesterday was cer- tuinly & gsla one at Deadhead Hill, and there was plenty ot fan for very iittle money, The people appeared to have thoroughly under- od that yesterday was the Derby Day of America, and downing their Sunday attire they come out in rket wagons, express wagons, old-fashioned rocka- ways, buggies and all kinds of antiquated vehicles, They were ali lined against the fences, and the passen- gers, HM! Latiog tho actions of the wealthy tn the Park, pulled ows ther iw baskets and sat down on the gras# to enjoy shetr (ragai meal, There was no pop- piog of chainpagne cerks, but loger foamed in tho glasses and was drank with a relish that made wp tor the valgarity of the Beverage. iho bookmakers, seated in their trame sentry box, were busy at | work all the day and bad as much as they could do to attond to their cusiomers. The vpectutors on the Dill were of decidedly a good-humoret class, os every. thing appeared to amuse them, aud they cracked thoir jokes and told their horse racing experic to one svother with o humor that was quite amusing to listen to. Everybodys bai some remarkabie race to talk of, where some remarkable horse with a rat tail or a dock tailhave periormed some remarkablo distance in wn equally remarkable space of time, or jampea some ex- traordinary distance on some extraordinary occasion, PHM BETTING RING. ‘The qnarterstretch was better filled yostordoy than | it hag been durime any previous day during the meet. | ing, bat the betting did not appear to be quite as good, Ou this occasion there was nota scarcity af book. | qwakers, but the backers were wanting us tho former vere rouring themselves hoaree m thei eudeavors to gut round on their book, Fugitive was quite a bitter pi for them to swallow, and in most iustances Cloverbrook was bac! for whe eutire book 0 that the two opening races did not loave tuem # balances to the er account, Atbicne wus also in great demand, but the liberal manuer in which Chiqaita, Viecroy and Shylock were backed helped to oifwet the losing account in the winner lo inot, taking the day on the whole, it Was rather ia javor of the backers aud the bookmakers that the must come with the swoet, The general public, not yet thoroughly mivated in the mys+ aft, and from the way they watch ibe transaction: of further acquaintance with the invest.

TRE RACING. Afinerday for racing could uot be conceived, ex- copt that the track was not a fast one, It was safo and pleasant for horses’ fect, but a little too deep for some of the lignter qualities tn power and constitution, ‘The best horses, therefore, won the races; and such duys and such tracks are required to give the old, sotid vlooded steck a chance. Five races came off, and the first was won by a Leamington, his dam being out of im- ported Emilia (Australian's dam), The second was won by a son of Vauxhall, by Lexington, out of a daughter ot Imported Maud, by Stockwell; tho third by a grand- sou of Lexington, the dam being vut of & mure by im- ported Yorkshire; the fourth bya gon of Lexington, out of Countess, by imporied Murgrave, and the fifth by a grandson of Boston, out of the sume dam as the winner of the tirs. race, imported Muud, A heavy track and a good journey of a mile and a alt for three-year-oids, and a jovger distance for horses of greater age, Hinds the soft spots—should there be any in the candidates that compete tor moncy and fame. Of the five races that were ruo during the day the most iimportant one was the Bel- mont stakes, a similar event to the English Derby, both i distance aud the age of tue contestants, this important event Dad thirteen starters yesterday, whilo there were but seventeen ior the Englisu Derby, which was deciaed tea days ago.

The long talked of sculliag raco between William Scharf, of Birmingham, Pa, and bis old aquatic friend and neighbor, Evan Morris, of this city, was rowed on the Upper Monongatela this afternoon. Tho event was for $2,090, and the distance five miles, two anda half miflos to astake-boat aud return, Morris proved the winner. THE BETTING, What was remarkabio inthe race was the sudden change in the monuer of betting. One week ago olds were on Scharf at the rate of $100 to $75. List mighe Morris rose like a recket, and be sold 10 the pools at $100 to $60, and these odds went begging, What caused this sudden fall in the South Side securities, it is ditticult to say, unless it might be at- tributed to @ collupse of their exehequers. On the course to-day, Morris’ old on one side of the river at odds of $50 to $30, while on the opposite side, Scharf was the favorite at evou mon ilow much was pending on the issue of this contest it ig ditiicult to estimate, but 1t is safe to Bay that not less than $30,000 changed hands. TEN THOUSAND SPECTATORS, At the City Poor Farm the mmates were given a holidey and wero ont in clean, ba! well worn garments, preseating a sort of rr 1d tringe 10 the beautiful and picturesque grouuds gurrounding the budding. At the hoar of four o'clock not lees than ten thuasand peo- ple gathered about the starting point and on the bunks of the stream in the vicmmity. OBTTING READY. Halfan hour later the shrill scream of the steam whistle on board the serew propeller wus heara, On this craft was Thomas Keose, reterae, unit aiso the judges for ciber contestant, This whistle wus t! ‘summons for the men to appear, and soon alter Morris shot vut trom the Chipper ‘Beat Club and paddled Jewarely toward the starttug point. He was attired in whote eap, pink shirt und scarlet breeches, om his fuce was as durk trom the effects of tho sun us that of a Cherokee. He was soon joined by Seharfl, whose boathouse was anchored almost ut the starting point Scharf! wore thin gauzo shirt and bluv breeches. Morris rowed in an Engish racing shell, the gift of one oft his admirers, Mayor-elect Robert Liddell. hero Was some delay exporicnced in clearing the course of innumerable craft that thiekly studded the surtace of the wator, but at length this was done, and the men took their positions. THR RACK. Now everything was quiet voth on the shore and on the water, Thousands ot eyos wore riveted on tho two loug thin, frail looking shells, and sounds of escaping steam from the toys were hushed, as was also the noisy clamor of the pool seller's voice It Was & moment of iniense broken at leugth ov the voice of ec, and instantaneously tho fali of four bright spoon oars, when the crowd on the shore and on the river boats checred heurtiy, and a rogular stn course was commenced, sSchari’s oars #1 cutoh the water more firmly thea Morris’ at the start, and he went gradually for. tho lead until be had a clear boav’s length of wn advan. tage. Both men rowed deauti{utly, Morris pulling thirty-six strokes to the minute, white Scharf went clipping along at thirty-eight, It was re- marked by watermea Ul Morris’ rowing was a de- cided improvement over that shown last year, woile that of scbaril’s was the same long, clean, beautiful swing, bard Ww improve upon, Upposite the coal wharves it Was seen that Morris, now fully settied down to work, Was forging abead, and when the City Facm was reached the uose of his shell was even with that of his formdabie opponent. WHAT KXCOURAGKMENT WIL DO. Just at the commencement of the bend in the river was moored the Clipper boathouse, and from tho grassy banks and out from the big trees which line the shore came the wildess cries of encouragement from the iricads of Morris. At this point the jateor vegan to show im front, and gradually his light advantage was increased ve fi lengths, whieh lead be held at the upper stukebou Rouna- ing the mark, be started home, rowing well within = bineelt, while Scharfl, with the sume steady swing of thirty-eight, tried hard to Jessen his oppouent’s lead, but it was truttless. Thoro was no spurting in any part Of the contest. From the start to the finish nettuer man lessened or increased his stroke alter tue moment he was settled to his work, bot into their strokes was thrown all the strength of thelr composition. Reaching the poor farm, half a mile from the winning line, 1t was plain to the spectators that Scharit’s Chances of Winning were small iadecd, but still he Kept rowing Well and fintehed five lengtus behind Morris. The time, as givon by Mr. Reese, referee, was 36m. 453,, which, considering tho swoilon state of the waters, wus fast, Tbe working cloment ot the south ide to-night is on the verge of bunkrupicy. {t bucked to-@ man tts favorite with its ‘ast dollar and went down 1 the crash.

A game of polo with only two or three on a side 18 too mild in its nature to be effective as an attraction to tbe public; whereas with four or five og aside the play becomes much steadier and more con- fined, it requiring an extra good exhibit of play for any Player to sten| away the bail und run th te goal withy out being molested, SCENES ON THE GROUNDS, Mirectly after tho--conelusion of she last raco at Jerome Park there was 4 move trom the club house in the direction of the pelo grounds, and a pumber of carriages, including a four-iu-band and two or three tandem teama, drove over.

Tho interest in the game commenced from tha first, as there was a very vecided improvement in tho .style ana execution of tho players. Following Mr. Seott's bit Mr. Brice drove the ball down toward the reds? goal, but Mr’Robbius and Mr, Fairman Rogers, by some good play, brought it back to tne centre ot the field, waere (be contest was ronewed with redoubled yigor. Mr. Rogers was, a# ueusl, playing very well, and watehing his opportunity, got the ball out of the crowd, but was cleverly stopped by Mr. Her man Oelrichs, who was doing good sorvice lor the blues, After a few minates’ spirited play Sir Charles Dodsworth nade a noat hit, which, being well backed up by Messrs, Howiand and Brice, carried the contest in front ot tho reds? goal, The latter party, headed b; Messrs, Robbing and Uarry Vcirichs, showed a stoad; front, and fought over every inch of ground, unul Incky hit from Mr. Scott decided the contest, and wom the first gaine for the blues, “D GAME, At the opening charge Mr. Brice obtained the first hit, driving the ball u considerabio distance in the di- rection of we redg’ goal, lt was promptly returned vy Mr. Robbins, and, both elces rallying, the game became very lively in the contre of the told) Finally Mr, Merman Oelrichs got ¢ ball away from ibe crowd, and was sailing away for the reds’ goal when ho was ridden out Mr. Robbing, and Mr Fairman Rogers, taking udvanuge of the opportunity, carried the bull vack-to the centre o1 the field, The blues then began to play close together and gradualty forced the reds back toward their goal, unttl the ball was hit behind. Mr. Robbing bit i out, and theo 4 general rush was mado by the blues, headed by Mr, Herman Oclrichs, who finally succeeded In driving the ball betweon the goals, and Winning the second game for the blues, TMIRD GAM After changing sides Mr. Slasson, standing in the coutre of the fold, threw up the ball and gave tl word ‘“‘piay.”?

The ball was carried back to the centre of the field by Messrs, Rubbins and Fairman Rogers, and then Mr. Howland with a clever back hit sent It off again toward the reds’ goal. Mr. Harry Oelrichs swoppea it cleverly, and before the blues could get at Lim returned nt to the centre of the feld, irom whence adetermined charge of the reds carried it io front of the blues’ goal, Mr. Scott was on hand, how. ever, and, with a good backbanver, sont everybody on & gallop to the centre, (rom whenee the biues, backing weil up and led by Mr. Brice, carried the ball througa the reds’ goal, winning the fifth game, SIXTH GAMER.
