NEW YORK HERALD, SUND AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB. Last Day of the Fall Meet- ing at Jerome Park. A GRAND ATTENDANCE. five Exciting Races—The Duke of Magenta, Plevna, Parole, Startle and Problem the Winners. THE COACHING CLUB. The American Jockey Club closed the fall meeting ts Jerome Park y day afternoon in a very satis- factory mauner, The meeting has been s success in evory reapest, and the attendavce has been as large Guring the meeting as it was in the palmy days of 1876. The racing, too, has been good throughout, there not boing a single event during the four days that the least fault could be found with, Tho weather during the meeting has been fair, yesterduy having been the most blustering and disagreeable day of the four devotea to the sports of the turf, The lawn in tront of the club house at times during the alternoon presented a very gy appearance by the six arags of the Coaching Club and the fashionable company that wou'd present themselves occasionally; but the high winds that Bwept over the ground trom the northwest, carry- ‘og blinding clouds of dust over the flvely sel «= jadies, evectually drove them into tbe club house for shelter, The ladies were out in Bumbers, notwithstanding the sunless sky of the fore- noon, and showed a liberal expenditure in rich autumn totlets, guided by good taste, The grand stand was well flied, ard the wo io front of it was crowded with gentlomen'of a speculative turn. The bills eneireling the Park were thickly studded witn Fpectators on the free list, who stood the gale like Norsemen and never took shelter from the wind until the last leap in the steeplechase was made, when they retired, fully thank{ul for the amusement that bad been afforded them gratuitously by the American Jockey Club, e Five races were on the card, the firat being the An- nual Swee, , 8 dash of two miles, by three-yeur- vids; the Homebrea Produce Stakes, tnreo-quarters of a milo, for two-year-olds; a dash of two miles and ® quarter; the fourth, three-quarters of a mile, for two-year-olds, and the fifth, a bandicap steeplechase, over the usual course. The first was a great race be- }ween the Duke of Magenta, Garrick and Spartan, the two latter being started with the bope that by Spartan golog at the Duke and carrying him at a strong pace as long as Spartan could fast, and then Garrick com- Jpg On and taking a drive at bim in the latter part of the race, they hoped tnat a capture might be thus attained. The great son of Magenta, however, proved himself too much for both the this country, and a proper one to send abroud to estimate the American thoroughbred with those of Europe, There is no three-year-old in this country, Jt 18 admitted, that can beat him apy distance, as he ever shows distross at the end of his races, no mat- ter bow jong they may be. Ar. P. Loriliard should by all means take The Duke to England as one of the string that go over the water this autumo, The Duke has but two more stakes to win— the Dixie and the Breckenridge at Baltimore—and then ne will be at leisure for a trausatiantic trip to test bis powers with the horses of Great Britain and France, The second race bad seven starters at the post, but Cedric, belonging to Mr. P. Lorillard, before the starter reacned his place, broke away with bis Jockey and ran nearly throe miles before be could be stopped, His owner then asked and reeeived per- mission from the judges to withdraw him. The colt did not scem much the wo for tbe run when he pulled up, and he demonstrated the fact that at lJeast one of the Saxons can go a@ distance, Of the other six Mr, F. Morris’ pair, Plevna and Avenger, were first and second, winning very easily. The third event w: good race between Parole and Danichef, which was jon by the former. Then followea a capital contest between five two-year-olds, and Mr. G, L, Lorillard’s Startle beat Brother of Cuba by ahead. The latter Dolted—when ne appeared to have tne race in band— opposite the lower end of the stand, and betore B Fett (nis jocky) could straighten bim Startle ra up and beat Brother of Cuba on the jump. Li was third, six lengths away. The closing event of the day was the handicap Weeplechase, and out of seven starters the aff oon resoived itself into a match race betwoen Probiem sod Deadhead, the former winning by the superior nding of his jockey. Deadhead wen y and mado the running for the ‘“no-accounts” for a mile and « quarter, thre ft which bad tumbled down on the way, when Problem took him in band, and attor a fine Face the latter won by ashort length, Had the river ot Deadhead stayed with Problem from the begin. Bing, the only horse that he bad to contend with, the result might bave been different. Deadhead cut WPICERS OY THK DAY. ‘3. Withers, Beimont, T. F.
