4 MARYLAND JOCKEY CLUB. First Day of the Autumn Meetin’ at Pimlico. LARGE ATTENDANCE. Sunlight, Duke of Magenta, Disturbance and Bushwhacker the Winners. [BY TELEGRAPA TO THE HERALD.) Baurraore, Oct. A more delightful day for racing than that just Passed is not registered in tho minds of the oldest §uhabitant of Baltimore. The drive through the Variegated foliage of Druid Park was a luxury. Atan early hour tn the morning every conceivable mode of conveyance in the city was brought into requisition, and by noon the roads leading to Pimlico were alive with people bent on the amusement of racing. The attendance was great, but would Lave been still better had the great Western crack, Leveller, kept well and Dttorun, The Duke of Magenta had beaten all the . good three-year-olds in the country, with the excep- lion of Leveller, ana it was thought that possibly this grandson of Lexington migit at least make the Duko rua a bit, As it was only Spartan and Bonnie ‘Wood came to the post in the Dixio Stakes, and it was only a good exercise for the Duke, He galloped in front of the others all the way, ana won he liked, Bonnie Wood second, showing Derself a better racer, alter a hard struggle, than Spartan, The latter basa great quantity of speed as Jeng as his legs will stand the work, bat the instant he is called on fora desperate struggle that moment he begins to spread his forelegs aud climb—in fact to lose himself entirely. ‘The first race on the card to-day was a mile dash, end for it thero were thirteen entries, all of which camie to thie post, These were Thomas A. Doswell’s ehestpat geiding Sunlight, by Australian, dam Eclep- tic, which'was the winner, beating the field of twelve others. The second race, the Dixie Stakes, was won, as everybody kuew it would be, by the Duke of Magenta, ana the race following, a steeplechase, seemed to have little interest to the people, who came out to Pimlico to see legitimate racing. The last event of the day was far the best of them ail. It, was two mile heats, with ten entrics, and it took three heats to decide which ‘was the best horse of the lot, Princeton and Bushwhacker bad to finish the race alter two beats. The secoud milein the second heat, 1:42, is the best that was ever rua inthis manner, In tact all the rucning was first class, aud there is not a shadow ofa doubt but thatthe meeting will be a greay Success, OFPICERS OF THE DAY.

The match race between thosloop yachts Gracie and Vision for the $250 sliver cup, the gift of Mr. 8, M.

Cheney was chartered by the owners of the racing yachts to uccompany the yachts, and started trom Pier 3, North River, shortly before cight A.M, ‘There was quite a party of guests on board, including the judges, Vice Commodore Thomas, Mr, R. Center and Mr. Stewart, When the Cheney left tuo dock and started on hor journey the weather did not look very promising, as there was hardly a breath of wind, and tho fog was so thick in some places one could almost cut it with aknife, ‘he first stop was made off Bay Ridge, to take on board Vice Commodore Thomas, and then the Cheney ran over to the Quarantine landing at Staten Isluna, where a few otherscameon board. Mr. Jonn Alexander jeft the Chenoy ut this point and went on board Mr. Lloyd Phwnix’s schooner yacht lutrepid, which was riding at anchor with ber canvas up, us Mf she was ready to make a cruise out und see the race. <Aiter leaving Staten Island ihe Chenev joggea slowly through a fog bank, and off Quarantine Hos- pital the fog cleared away as it the sun bad eaten it up, but iarther on there was another bank that was pretty thick, and lasted until she passed the buoy off the pointof the Hook, Outside it was all elear, but there was not much prospectof abreeze, and the water Was a8 smouth us a mill pond.

The latter passed a line to the Gracie, but it was not very strong, as it parted a few minotes afterward, anu some little time was wasted before another line was made fast. The Cheney arrived off the ligttship shortly alter cleven A, M., and, letting go the yachts, they began to make their preparations for the race. Thore was aslight cat’s paw of wind from the southeast, fanning over the waters, that did not give much bopes of increasing, so the judges de- cided to wait tor a short timo before they sturted the yachts, The race was to be suiled over a course iwenly miles to windward abu return, the distance to be made in seven hours.
