4 AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB, Becond Day of the Fall Racing Meeting at Jerome Park. ee FOUR EXCITING CONTESTS. Viceroy, Susquehanna, Parole and Trouble the Winners. ON ROAD. THE . LIFE The second day of the fall meeting at Jerome Park came off yesterday, and several thousand people ‘witnessed an excellent day’s sport. Tbe weather was charming, more like the bal:ny days ot the early weeks in September than those of blustering old October, The sun was rather warm, but every vow and thena pleasant breeze swopt through the picturesque little valley and cooled the temperature to an agreeable ex- tent, 1t ss rather curious to find such & comparatively light attenaance at Jerome Park when there is such a brilliant programme offered by the management to their patrons. Nobody that was on the course yesterday could fee! dissatisfied with the day’s sport, AB euch race was closely cont and, althougd in ry instance the favorites won, some of the out- Biders showed so well to the trout that their backers were periectly satistied with the race thoy bad for their money, One of the features of tho day was the abolition of the extra doilar that has been churged for admission to the betting enclosure, ana yesterday the quarter stretch was open from one ond to the other, "ae moan. Yesterday morning had more of the appesrauce of a race day 1m the city than was noticeable on Saturday, as shortly before noon there were quite a number of equipages on the avenue that had every appearance of some country excursion. The six-lorse coach Atlantic firew up io front of the Brunswick shortly betore Boon and was soon loaded down with a crowd of passengers, ‘This means of travel ap- pears very popular, and thoi js no doubt shat there is sufficient patronage for two or three coaches ou raco days As the six grays were tooled up the avenue by the veteran whip Kelly they bad plenty of company on the road, as all kinds of vebicles were wending their way toward the Park. There were acouple of very showy looking tandems and Yhree or four T carts that attracted attention, the borses were well mutched and moved handsomely to- fesher, The usual quota of light wagons and trot- Ming teams wero mixed among the crowd and jogged soberly aiong within the Park limite, but when they struck the Boulevard they were soon lost to view ima cloud of dust. Apropos of the latter, 1+ would tertainly be well it the watering carts wore kept on closer duty, as the Gust was really intolerable yester- day alternoon. It is an ill wind, however, that blows no one good, as the colored gentlemen with the wisp brooms were kept quite actively employed whisking the dust vut of the coats of those who had come out on the road, THE QUARTER STRKTCR. The ecene yesterday on the quarter stretch was very lively, as some half a dozen new bookmakers made their appe arance and made musictn the air as they vociferated the odds they were roady to lay against each starter in every race. There is no doub: that bookmaking would ultimately become very popular it \t was not in competition with pool selling, but as long asthe latter business is carried on in Hoboken backers of horses will growl! sbout tuo prices offered by the booking fraternity. There 1s always a row about the low Ugures offered by the knighis of tho pencil, but on ine otier side 1 ever hears a compiaiut when tue bookmaker Sufliciently iguorantto lay higher prices than those that can be oviained in the pools, On Friday evening several bookmakers laid two to oue against Khada- Munthus when the betting was even in the pools, und uebody appeared to find any fault, and on Monday bight a weli kuown bookmaker laid two to one against Susquebanna to considerable money and again noboay twought of telling him that in the pools Susquebanna told for $100 against $120, Yesterday the bookmakers were laying even money against Susquebanua, and as Idalin was the only other starter backed for any money they naturally quit losers. There 18 oo doubt if there was no pool selling the odds would be better than they are, us the competition between the kuights of the pencil would force them to lay the best prices in order to round on their books, Jn the tirst race yesterday Glea Dudley was tue favorite, and, aithough some book- makers were only laying 3 02 against him, others luid as high as 6 to 1. The winner, Viceroy, was Dacked steadily at 5 to 2, and most ot the had their books against him. Susquehanna, u uer of tue Huuter Stakes, Was also 4 stroug favorite, und, Judging from her recent public perlormance, was ieavily backed by the public ateven money, The result showed that their Judgment was correct, as she won very cleverly, with Ludy Sulyers ciuse on her quarter. ‘In tue Maturity Stakes the bet- ting Was mainly confined to Paroie aud Algerine, and again the public were correct, as the tormer won casily, while the latter finisbed second alter running & good race. ‘here was 4 good tleld for tue Steeplechase, and again the public took all the even money tut Was ofered against Trouble. The second lavorite wus Coronet, anu he ran upto the estimute, finishing a yood second to the favorite Trouble, On the Whule the knights of the pencil had rather a rough day, as the buckers of luvorites mast have gone homo with their pockets full of greenbacks, THE TRIP BY RAL, ‘The accommodations for public trave! to Jeromo Park by rail are very good, a» the Hurlen Railroad furnishes three traing tuat serve to carry all tho traffle they can get. The trams generally ran direct to Je- tome Park station Without u sto}, and consequently tue ride 1s not much more than twenty to sweuty-lve minutes, ‘There ta room, bowever, tor improvement in the means of transit from the depot to the track, us, althougn there are plenty of conveyances, tue dust is so intolerable that the unluriunute Passengers Lave to keep both thoir eyes and mouth closed upless 'bey wish to be either blinded or choked, It 1s wot ordinary dust, but appears to be lying on the Toad ubout six Inches deep, aud wuen the carriages are ruttied along it rises in columns Lhut it 18 impos. sible (o see through. he road between tho vepot aud the track would aiso be a good field of operations for some of Mr. Borgu’s officials, as the drivers of the mis- cellaueous cunveyauces tut travel the route co Dot appear to tuink (bat the horse 18 an wnimal witu aay feeling but merely a mucnive that can run forever, vuey keep them on the dead run all the way up the bill comiug from the depot and travel at the sane spoed going buck. ‘Ihe pace tuld disastrousiy on one uulortunate quadruped erday afternoon, as he Gropped down ball way between the track ‘and the depot, and will never dguin be troubled by oard trou menu . THE RACING. ‘The track was heavy yesterday, being decp in loose gapd and earth for want of rain. It was Watered 10 the morning, but stlil there was dust, It wus three seconds at least slow, as the time made by the good horses that rau plainly imdicated, In the GBrst race, a mile dash, six fust Lorses started, and the winner was 1:47 in running tue distance, The Huuter Stakes, a mile and three-quarters, was about slower than it should have been fast track = by auch a clipper as Susqueb Tho three-mile dash thas followed was also slow, 5:39 being poor time tor such horses as Parole and Algerine to make in a race for $4,000, But the track must bave always been siow ut this ime of year, us ior this stake the Ume has only beer beaten twice, once by Monarchist and again by Catesby. All the races, however, were we'l contested, und gave the greatest #atisfuction to the spectators, The steeplechase was particularly inveresting, from the spicndid jumping and the closeness of the finish between Trouvle and Coronct, The tollowing are the dvtalls of Lho raciug as it came off:— THE FIRST RACK was for a purse of $400; winners of $1,000 to carry five pounds extra, Beaten maidens aliowed, it tour Yours vid of less, seven pounds; if five years or more sweive pounds. ‘The distances one mile. ‘There were Wx slarlers {or Wis event, comprising Carr & Co.'s duy colt Viceroy, by Giro ow, 118 Ibs; F.

The Queens County Hunt About to Take the Field. A MEETING AT HEMPSTEAD TO-DAY Description of the Country and Scene of the Hunt. A Sport That Ought To Be Popular. To-day at East Meadow Brook, L. I., will be held the Ores jnformal meoting pf the recontly organized Queens County Huot, ‘This latest and as yet most promising effort to localize and make popular the “moble avience’’ of fox hunting from present indica- tuons is likely to meet with commendable success, It is an earoest though not very pretentious effort, and prove luself deserving of all possible jcouragement, It ia not intended to start with a large pack nor ig itexpected that big folds of hunts- men will at rst encumber the master of the hounds ip the handling of his doga Such as do attend, |t is sale to say, may look forward to a neat bit of riding over quite a good hunting couuiry, with fonces enough to suit them, Mverytbing connected with this effurt ts expected to ve in good form, and tho pleasant results anticipated, if realized, will certainly help the onward pro; of the maniior exercises for which so much has been done in this and other ways of late, Only last winter the first step in tho direction of the catablishment of fox bunt. ing im this vyicluity was takea, This, as will be remembered, was at Hackensack, N. J. It was not @ very long considered or well organized effort, though it aflorded some little amuse- nieut, despite the incomple.cnesa of the appointments god the putural diMicultios of the ground, It did not |'take root for many reasons. Tho present movement te of a vastly different sort. It bag organization, 18 peteut to give it tone and permanency, and who are desirous, for the puvlic benoit no less than tor thoir own pleasure, to render it entirely creditable, so that it may prove an unqualified success, A good many things are essential to the permanency of a hunting establishment, Given rounds aud meu to bunt them there must also be found the ground to hunt In nocountry, even where hunting ws most followed, 18 the field open of right vo the public, Huatsmen simply accorded the privilege of the field, and masters of hounds are only asked in retura for this concession to exorcise the rignt belonging to them to see thut those who follow their pack do not abuse the privileges extended, 11 is nowhore a sport the enjoyment of which may be obtained by purcha-:e god sale, THE FARMERS CAN HELP IT The landowners mast give it their encouragement, or at least withbold from it their opposition, that it may thrive and grow satistactorily. It must then bo gratifying to tne lovers of the sport hereabout to learn that tho Jarmers of Queens couoty, on whose lands the runs are to be had, accept without protest the an- pouncement that the hounds are going to hunt on ther ficids the coming season. Thus far their ree quests to the Master of the Hounds have becn only such as any reasonable huntsman would grant most willingly, Some have simply said, “‘Dou’t break down our fences.” To which the reply bas bee! ‘Wo shail not breuk your tences; you need havo uo fears on that score.”? Others bave cuutioned the huotsmen in their hours of exercise not to ride over their new wheat, and again the prudent farmer has been told respect- fully his wheat should be unmolested; and so these first contacts, by a judicious exercise of com- mon senso and a fair and just apprecia- tion of the landowners’ rights, have been so smoothed over that the Queens County Hunt bids fair to meet with a most cordial welcome. Long Island generally seems to feel thatit has now achance to distinguinh itself as the home of fox huoting in this Btate, and evidently has determined to make the most of it. The Inndowners can readily do this und ve- come themselves partakers of tho sport without ma- terial injury to their lands or crops. A little Jorbet ance at first will best demonstrate tnis fact to them. Considering that the weather has continued quite sultry up tothe present, it may be thought a little early to begin the meets, but this 1s an objection that daily loses its force, and which will have been wholly nullifed as the time of the first or second regular meeting comes about. To-day’s meeting 1s not in the regular or It wasort of preliminary day, but it may prove one of the best of the entire season, Everytning will beiu regular order, and those who desire to see the dogs break cover are expeoted to pub in an appoarance ut the tennel at one o'clock P. M. sharp. The “(xtares” hercafier will be Wedncsdays and Saturdays of each woek. Any one so minded may attend, ORGANIZATION OF THR HOUNDS. The Queens County Hunt is to be @ subscription pack, alter tho manner of tho Ward Union Hunt ana scores of others in England and elsewhere. Tho di- rectors are Mezsrs. Frederick Gray Griswold, the mas- ter of tho hounds; Beimont Purdy, Robert Conter and William K. Peet, Tue fullowing are among the earliest sub-cr.beri fam Juy, E, Zborowski, Froderick Gebburd, 0. C.

Peabody Wetmore and Frederick F. Martin, It 18 the experience of many of the best subscription packs on the other side of the Atlantic that they havo started with a few devoted lovers of the sport, In the foregoing list can certaunly be fount enough names to make this effort one of good promjse, ‘To be sure the present pack is nota very jew friends with good punters, can have as much ay be desired or obtained by the possessor kennol and his host of followers, Noh of old and experienced hunters that in excels in the sport the inan In to-day’s meet Mr. an ¢x- It ts the opt the gentleman hunten who is paid to fill the pluce. Griswold bunts the pack. The whipper-: perienced onc named Fitzpatrick, Whose last service was with the Kildare hounds in Ireland. In order to insure the success of this effort to localize fox wunting the subscribers must discover an activity in advance of the mere payment of their eubscriptions. Their presence and udvocacy of the sport should be given ungrudgingly if they would enlist the public interest 1n its bohail, No slight element im tho vuilding up ot w pack of nounds is the presence of ladies at the bunts. This encouragement the Queens county hounds will very likely have. ‘There ure now at und about New York and within easy reach of the keuncl quite a num- ver of ladies whose borsewomansbip would be no di credit even to ladies who have bad experience with tue hounds and have taken many « tence in splendid style, THE COUNTRY TO WE HUNTED. The country to be hunted 18 inviting to the eyo in great part and has not many dangerous or disagrevablo feature It comprises about the whole of Queens y, avoiding of course the more densely wooded parts as well us the bare open. Much of the travel will |} naturally be over the well known Hempstead & great patt of which was owned by A. t Stewart and on which: now stands Gur- den City, Mr. 1s well Known, 16 managed by Jadge Hilton, who is no enemy to the nobler sports. New York desirous of seeing the hants or taking part in them will need to take the trams to Garden City, which ts but a very short dis- tance beyond Creedmoor, the already noted rille range. THE KENNEL i About three miles east irom tho station at Garden City ts the kenuel where the hounds aro kept. ‘his au isolated spot, away from tho peeping eyes of the curious minded, and well adaptod to the ses tor which it has been set apart. The kennel was a plain barn, which is now tly and comiortably arranged with room for « good many more couplos of hounds than at present occupy it. Approuching it one may have whittle jump or two to try the style of bis mount, But he had better gallop wo hard over the deceitful flat that spreads out belore him so temptingly as he | the prim, neatly kept squares of Garden City on his way to the pluce of meeting, These plains are treachorous to a green hotse, ana if taken unawares he need not wonder to find that he bas boen sent sprawling while on a canter over them. Conceuled by long growths of grass are large hard jumps of clay that serve quite handily to trip up un- wary equestrial indo bring their horses down, There ure al at oles and ruts that should be cau- tiously avoided.

F.RST ANNUAL RUGATTA OF THE HARLEM ASSO- CIATION—TEN THOUSAND SPECTATORS—EX~- CELLENT MANAGEMENT AND WELL ZARNED VICTORIES. One of the pleasantest meetings of the whole aquatic year was the first annual regatta of the Harlem Asso- ciation, which took place yesterday ou tho river of that name, The event was open to all amateurs, the competitors numerous and of an excellent class, the racing in soveral instances very close, the management excellent, and all present seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves, No euch select and vast crowd ever be- fore gathered on the banks of the Harlem, Friends— female—ot the several clubs ropre- sented in tho programme, turned out in raro force, and while every point of prominence was covered with spectators a dozen or more steamboats were laden with intercated hundreds, In all, 10,000 persons were present to witness the fights of the day. The starting and finish points in the afternoon were | particularly noticeable forthe many ladies, who, by tbeir presence, lent additional interest to the fcatival, Small boats by the scores were all over the rowing water, but, much to the credit of the occupants, gave the contestants only trifling | trouble, The morning was devoted to the decision of trial heats in the Junior and Senior single sculls and the pnir-oared race, By sheer bard work they were checked off the programmo by one o'clock, when the tired officials took a well earne! rest of two hours, ‘the alternoon’s job was more eerious besuuse tho number of boats had augmented around the starting point, yet suve in one instance the referce’s craft wus given a fair chance. THE TRIAL UKATS, The course for the trial hoats was down stream from Macomb’s Dam Bridge—one mile straightaway. The wind was southwesi, a gentle breeze, aud the tide with the neu.
