AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB First Day of the Fall Meeting at Jerome Park, FOUR MOST EXCELLENT RACES. Bhadamanthus, Bazil, Duke of Magenta and Inspiration the Winners. The fall meeting at Jerome lark, given under the wuspices of the American Jockey Club, commenced resterday afternoon, and, although the attoudance was not quite a8 large as might have been expected, those present returned rejoicing that they were so fortunate 4s to be present at what turned out to be one of the best day‘s racing ever witnessed at the Park. The rather slim attendance certainly not enéouraging to the American Jockey Club, and one might at fret bo tnclined to fall into the mistaken theory that racimy was not as popular agit bas been, when the true cause may be set down to the absence from theeity of the patrons of the turf. Tbis bas been an ucusualiy late summer, ‘and the majority of those elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen represcniing tbe upper classes that aro reg- ular patrons of the grand stand and Club House, are Still abroad at Newport and other summer resorts enjoying this balmy weather in country residences, To say ove at all familar with the Club House on a race day this fact would at once becomo apparent, as very few of the well knowa taces wore among those present, and if inquiry was made as to their whereabouts the curious would learn that they were still in the country, This point was agaio illus- trated in the absence of the drags from their pic- turesque standing ground at tho foot of the Club House hill. The bright green sward was not, as usual, the resting ground of some thirtecn or fourteen gayly appointed coaches, and in fact only one, a Dew one al that, was present during the aiter- noon, It was quite a handsomely appointed drag drawn by a good looking team comprising four well- bred dark chestnuts. This drag was owned hy Mr. Stewart, a new aspirant for coaching honors, The Scene on the coaching ground will probably be more interesting next week when the members of the Coaching Ciub return from Newport and other summer resorts, ‘Tit DRIVE OUT. The frst day of the fall meeting did not oreate the | excitement in the city tuat is generally to be found on the morning of arace day at Jerome Park, and the handsomely «quipped carriuges that wind up Fifth avenue shortly after noon were few and far between, It was evidently too carly in the fall season and the country had not delivered forth its visitors, ‘There were certainly a number of private carriages on the avenue weading their way to Central Park, but not the immense crowd of vebicles to which the eye is accustomed on these occasions, The looxers on, however, that wero lounging about the Brunswick about twelve M. gatberod in crowds tn front of that hotel to witness the departure of tho six-horse coach Atiautic for the race track, The pop- ulurity of this pablic conveyance was soon appirent as wuen Kelly, the well kuown whip, gathered up the Telus over the six handsome gravs thers was not a va cant seat and the Atlantic rolled off with a full load. Nothing could have been more enjoyable than ihe drive yesterdsy afternoon through the Park, as the air was pleasant and cool and redolent with that delicious tragrance that con only be found when surrounded by the offerings of Nature, The foliage was commencing to stow the effects of the past heatea term, aud, with autumnal hues sull in pective, the sod Was covered with the richest kind erdure.’ The vurious dr.ves were picusant and the Foads in good order, as the useful watering cart evidently made its rounds and quietly taid the dust, This, however, could hardiy be said of Coutral «venue, as, although in soie places thore was apparent evi- dence that some sprinkling had been done, it would be advisable in future to carry out the good wapk more effectively, ax the thick clouds of dust that rose aller each passing vehicle were very aunoying to both man aud beast. THE QUARTER STRETCH. Before the arrival of the noon train from the city there were not filly peopie on the quarter stretch, but shortly beiore ove P’, ai. they commenced to arrive quite fast, Tbe rather unusual spectacle presented by some eight or ten gentlemen in Diue coats and brass buttons promenading between and round the siands that were used for the auction and Fyench pools, attracted considerable altention, and rumors passed around that the myrmidons of the law intended to stop ali betting, ‘Tho spectators, however, were svon Telicved from suspense, ae Inspector McDermort pres. ently made nis appearance, and, after satisfying him- It that the Americun Jockey Ciub had no intention to violate the Jaw, he withdrew Lis men, saying “that tbe police were orly preseut to see the law enforced, and had no ttention of in-* verlering with bookmaking, which he did not imagine was a violation of the statute, Free from espionage the speculators immediately commenced work, and the betting inclosure was soon uscene of activity. The tirst event was nota profit- abie race jor the bookmakers, us teu minutes before the start every ono of Lem was tull against Rhada- manthus, and with the exception of a tow investinents on Mary, Cuba and Explosion, there was no ower speculation, The Jerome Stukes proved another victory for the fivorite Bazil, and | then tho Nursery Stakes brought out quite wn active market, There was au immense rusb on the part of the public to get on the representauves of Mr, Pierro Loriiiard, Mr, George Lorillard and Mr, William Astor, and some of the Cthers, such as Danichelf and the Fly Filly, were bucked at fancy prices, ‘The last event also proved a good one for spece ulation, as Virgimius, Inspirauon, Rhadamanthus, Viceroy, Ciemmic G., and Dauntless were all heavily backed, The finish of whe last race was intensely ex- citing, und many will remember the shout of victory, | 1 win my combimation ticket!” toat | “Luspirauion | Durst trom tue iuugs of an excited young man woo was hanging over tho railing at the bomestreten. He went home happy, having won $400 lor bis $5 in- vesimnent. A QUARTER ANTR.

THE SARE DEVIL'S DEFEAT, THK SECOND RACE BETWEEN THE DARE DEVIL AND WALTFR F, DAVIDS—AN ACCIDENT SNATCHES VICTORY FLOM THE FORMER. Tho second match race between the yachts Dare Devil and Walter F, Davids tor $250 a side came olf at New Rochelle yesterday, proving a cloze and exciting contest, the last named boat being the winuer, owing toan sccident which happened to her rival at the close of the race, Having heen defeated by the Daro Devil on ‘Thursday tho frienas of the Davids, although buoyant with hope for her success in the morning, deemed 1% prodent to decline staking money on tho result—a circumstance which aoubtless caused many of them regret when tuo event took such an unlooked for turn at the dnizh. Among the spectators before the siart there were many who sympathized with the Davids, and ex- provsed the hope that she might be the winner; but there appeared to be little coufidence in her outsailing the Dare Devil, especially as the stiff breeze that blew favored the latter, which carries the largost sails ever made for a twenty-seveu foot boat, Tue course, as at the Jast rege, was tea mil to windwara and returo, the Duyids carrying ninety-one sand bugs, ‘and «the Paro Devil eighty-ouc.
