AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB Fourth Day of the Autumn Meeting at Jerome Park, INTERESTING EVENTS. W. |. Higgins, Basil, Albert and Mineola the Winners. ———e- THE FASHIONS. When the dell summoned the jockeys “to saddle” for the first event at Jerome Park yesterday it seemed | the general impression that indifterent sport would be | presepted, Such, however, was not the case, as the | racing was up to tho average in point of importance and everybody regretted when the exciting events wore ovér, The commencement was made under au- spices which were of the fairest description, the sun | shining {rom a pleasant, though not cloudless sky, and the clerk of the weather continued all the afternoon in | quite amiable mood, even if the fresh north wind made light extra outside garmeuts desirable. Neat and trim looked this most dolighttul of racecourses, Everything was in apple plo order, and yet nothing special had been done in the way of makiug arrange- monts for the occasion. Jerome is ays in order, and itis one of the few meetings of the year whero thorough enjoyment is to be experienced, AT THE COURSE, The cooling breez> did not prevent tho fashionable world from driving to the course, Thureday’s rain and Friday’s sun put the roads beyond the Park io five fx. Ove continuous string bowled along Central avenue shortly after twelve o’clock, the occupants being charming women and cheery men. Tue drive was magnificent. The novnday clouds had gradually driltea away, and tne clear, clectrical atmosphere bore testimony tothe fact that it was an autumn day | in reality and not oue characterized by courtesy. in due time Jeromo Park was reached, and / the spectacle was pleasing. By two o'clock the sloping Jawa by the club house was worth seoing. The smoothly shaven grass which received attention equal to a pet flower bed, was occu- | plod by scores of fair women in rich and pleasing | attires, and though the same hillside has held througs of beauty with which the present dwindles into com- parative nothingness, the sight was charming. Thon the balconies above were crowded, and that portion of the grand stand set apart for tho fair sex and their escorts wus quite liberally sprinkled with radiant rep- Tesentatives of iashion. A broad iringe of carriages near the large gate and another ou the summit of the hill at the upper end of the stand presented, with the occupants of the latter, almost as pleasing a spectacle fs that of the Club Hous» balconies and the lawn, SOME OF THE BLEGANT TOILETS. : An elegant toilet, worn by a brilliant brunette to whom it Jent additional charms, bad a skirt ras ture, A most gracelul length for walking, made of bronze yreen velvet, bordered with a gathered flouace, Over ibis was a ‘‘malita’ polomaise made of bourette | thenillee, the ground a bronze green with bouretto offects of cardinal and gold, and chenille stripes, dark olue with gold threads, brouze green with cardinai threads and cardinal with gold and blue, The bottom ‘was trimmed with a fringe in which all the colors were combined, sod tho front wus finished with a broau revere of velve: extending its entire length, and fastened with engraved pearl butions. The middle of the buck and the sleeves were also of velvet, The bonnet was of brouze green plush and velvet, trimmed with a Monture of suuded artimecias, in yellow aud red | shades. As a wrap, a shawl was worn of Oricatal munufacture, 1 whiek red and gold predominated, Anowwer tady of the same party wore a violet of Doureite mousse and fuille, both deep buuters green ju color, and combined to form a “Davenport”? princess dress, tue sik forming the plaited tan train, the fouuces on the frout, aud the numerous lovely bows which were placed where they would be most efoctive, With tnis was worn a magnificent “Caso. mere valley” shawl, in woich autama leat tints pre- valied, The bonnet wus of satin and plush, mateb- ing the dress in color, and trimmed with autuma | louves.

Basil came very nearly being ruined, as be was struck oo the near hind leg, about eight inches below the hock, The flesh was cut to the bone, but fortunately none of the sinews or cords were cut, The third race was the Champagne Stakes, aud thig wus a mérry allair between eightin ost 3 Ids, Thoy did pot gotas good @ Start as they ought to Lave bad, and the consequence was the favorites were never in we race.
